Chapter 66 – Treasure Hunting in the Prairie

Peropero
Nn?
Peropero
Nna?
Peropero
A lukewarm touch.
A flickering feeling.

「Goshujin-shama~ Goshujin-shama~」
When I open my eyes…
I see Ado.
Ado with her dog-ears pulled back.
「Awake deshu ka?」
「Yes. I’m awake」
Rather than a deja vu, it’s an established way of waking up.
A refreshing way of waking up.

Uun.
My head feels heavier than usual…
Why is that?
I think I had a dream, but… I can’t recall the contents.
I’m certain.
Even though I feel like it was an important dream…
Why is that?
I can’t remember at all.

「What’s the matter deshu~? Goshujin-shama?」
Ado looks at me anxiously.
Her dog-ears are unsteadily bobbing.
Bobbing Ado.
「No, it’s nothing. I’m just absentminded a little after waking up」
「Is that so deshu~」
Ado makes a face of relief.
A different pair of animal ears is behind Ado.
That movement is…

「Finally awake nya~」
Right, it’s Chiko.
Chiko seems to be up early today.
She’s stretching? out her whole body.
Her cat eyes are half closed, so she may have just woke up.

When I look around the room.
I don’t see En-san around again.
He probably already went out.
He seems to be teaching the wyverns in the morning.

「You have been sleeping since then nya~ You can sleep well, Tokukawa nya~」
「Right deshu. You have slept a lot deshu」
Ho~ou.
It seems I have slept for quite the time.
I certainly feel more refreshed.
I might have slept for more than ten hours.
「I see~ I had a sound sleep after a long time」
「Deshu ne~ You slept a lot deshu. Let’s go eat a breakfast deshu~」
「Nyanya. Right nya~ Eat to brim over with health nya~」

Hiyoi Pita
「Let’s go quickly deshu~」
「Right nya~ Don’t slack in the bed nya~」
「O, ou」
I had my hands stolen by Ado and Chiko and was dragged out of the room.

Tekuteku Tekuteku
After having breakfast in the dining room, I stroll around with Ado and Chiko.
My body has become pretty much light.
It seems the load from evolving into Baby Angel Vampire has been finally lifted.

「Nya nya~n. Pokapoka nya~n. Nyanya」
「Ado pokapoka too」
The two girls energetically move their ears.
Is it the mysterious light? after a downpour in the dungeon?
But, why?

This light?
Although this is a dungeon, the light is making me become spirited.
As if it’s was outside…
Uun.
Well.
I won’t understand even if I think about it~

Therefore.
We are heading towards the grassy plains near the wyvern’s nest.
There’s a prairie in the branches of the tree.
「Oh, we have arrived」
「Nyanya~」
「So vast deshu~」

Uh-huh.
An unthinkable vastness on top of a tree.
Dozens of branches combined together creating a base covered in the grass.
Wyverns are idling here.

「Nyanya~ I’m going to run nya~ So excited nya~」
「Goshujin-shama~ Ado also wants to run deshu~」
「Ou, go play」

Sasa Sasa Sasa Sasa
「Nyanya」
「Deshu~」
Ado and Chiko run all around the prairie.
A contact of cat and dog ears.
Unun.
Their ears are swaying.
So relaxing~
A healing sight.
Suton
I sit down and take a rest on the grass.

Looking at Ado and others while lying down.
Oh.
It’s En-san.
He’s doing something with several wyvern children on the prairie.
Looking at that… he’s teaching them a take-off method.
A small dragon makes noise in front of big wyverns.
En-san seems to be hustling.

Zaza~ the wind passes by.
The wyvern’s nest is calm.
Despite being so high on the huge tree.
It doesn’t feel like it.
I recall the 50th floor.
If Nirvana Flowers grew here, I would mistake this for the grassland on the 50th floor.

I take out a candy from my pocket.
I purchased this with the「Online Shopping」.
I observe the swaying leafs while soda flavored candy in my mouth.
While tasting the candy in my mouth…

「Goshujin-shama~」
Uo!
Agugugu.
Gulp.
Ku.
I got surprised and ended up swallowing the big candy.
Hiiii!
That surprised me~
My stomach is surprised…

I was completely taken by surprise.

「Nn? Goshujin-shama~ What’s the matter deshu?」
「Nono, it’s nothing. Rather, what about you, Ado?」
「Is that so deshu? Chiko has found something deshu. This way deshu~」

Kuikui
Ado pulls on me with her soft hand.
A comfortable elasticity.
Yoshyosh.
Let’s have a look at what the girls found.

「Alright, Ado. Let’s go take a look.」
「Deshu~」

Tekuteku Tekuteku
I’m guided by Ado to Chiko.

「Nyanya? Over here nya~」
A happy Chiko in the corner of the prairie.
She seems very happy.
「What’s the matter? Chiko」
「Something is buried here nya~ Meow cat senses are tingling nya~」
What Chiko points at is…
Not particularly different ground.
It’s an ordinary ground.
「Here? I don’t see anything, though」
「Right nya~ It’s here nya~」
「What a fun deshu ne~」

Uun.
Does the cat tribe have a sharp sense of smell?
I don’t understand quite well, but~
Let’s investigate.

「Understood. I will feel the ground with magic…」

Ummm…
I thought I could detect it with the magic search through the roots, but.
We are already on top of the tree.
This is a place on top of the tree with many branches.
If that’s the case…
I may be able to detect something through the tree.
Let’s give it a try.

I touch the close huge tree.
Gabu
I bite the tree while pouring magic.
Tsu~n Tsu~n
I investigate with magic.
I pursue the circuit of the branches.
I feel the ground beneath Chiko.

Nn?
Oh.
Ooh.
There might be something.
I feel a faint sign.

「Goshujin-shama~ Faito deshu~」
「Nyanya~ Do your best nya~」
Ado and Chiko support me nearby.
Because I closed my eyes in order to concentrate, I don’t see them.

Fun.
When I return my consciousness back to the probing…
Indeed… something’s there.
There’s something under this ground.
It seems to be coiled around the branches.
Then.
Let’s try taking it out.

Ha!
I pour magic into the ground.
I boost the something up by causing the branches to rapidly grow.
