“Chapter 207: Pit”

Hopefully we find another way to go back home.

The dragons weren’t an issue, but something about being in the sky for so long didn’t feel very good.

One way or another, we’re now on the safety of the ground.

– Roar and I will go back home first. We’ll prepare three rooms. (Dyke)

– Why three? You don’t have to go out of your way for that. One for us girls and one for you guys should be enough. (Meirir)

– I thought you’d like your own room with Tak-Alright, I get it, it was a joke, relax.

Dyke fled from the scene after seeing Meirir pointing Silver at him.

By the way, my relationship with Meirir hasn’t advanced at all. In fact, we’ve been talking less and less lately.

– Anyways. My home is this way! Come here everyone!

Meirir’s house was pretty far away from the hot springs. In fact, the road was rather quiet compared to the surroundings of the volcano.

Every now and then there were some clusters of houses with the occasional farms and cattle.

– Master, I’m getting sleepy…

– We’re almost there. Come on, I’ll carry you on my back.

– Don’t worry, it’s over there!

Meirir pointed at a two-storied wooden building far away.

– Hmm, I made sure to tell them we were coming…

The closer we got, the quieter the environment around us got.

There are a bunch of farming tools scattered around the fields.

I took another step forward.

– Takaya.

– Stop there.

Both Mumuruu and Akane stopped me.

– What’s wrong?

– Take another step forward, but don’t put your weight on it. (Akane)

I did as she said, and sure enough, the ground felt somewhat weird.

Once I put a little more weight on it, my feet almost got sucked.

– I’ll take care of it.

Without using her spear, Mumuruu cast a spell to place a rock on the hollow ground.

It’s a pitfall. A classic trap that could barely be passed as a joke.

As I was staring into the hole, I noticed some rustling in a nearby bush.

– Trying to run away? (Mumuruu)

– Eeek!!??

The man fell nose-first onto the ground as Mumuruu restrained his ankles with her shackles.

– YOU TRIED TO HURT MY MASTER. (Mike)

Apart from Mike who is ready to jump onto the guy’s throat, Akane also has her sword ready to attack.

The man doesn’t seem dangerous at all. It’s just a middle-aged guy.

– What the HELL do you think you’re doing, dad!? (Meirir)

– N-No, Meirir! Wait! See…

– I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES.

Meirir’s screams made the man’s face turn even redder.
