Chapter 235
The next day, Evan and his group decided to tour important dungeons near Palman. Only Evan, Belois, Arisha, Ditto, and Paul were allowed to go around the dungeon. The rest of the members were ordered to continue fishing.
“You know this equipment is really precious, right? We have to treat it with great care.”
“Oh, I hate it…”
Evan had long thought about lending it to Dain or the owner, but eventually decided to lend Diona the Golden King equipment set.
She, who was originally a dealer, would also have a higher luck status than others, and if she were to wear a Golden King set, she might not know the effect, but it will be much greater than Evan’s!
“Wow, it really suits you. She’s like a social queen.”
“Did I make the right choice following this guy…?”
It was truly spectacular to see a bunny girl wearing gold earrings, a necklace, bracelet, a ring, and a mask as a full set.
If someone painted her and hung them in places such as royal palace exhibitions, enthusiasts would fight to get a glimpse of her.
“I feel so ashamed…”
“Then why don’t you change your clothes?”
“This is my pride. Master, I can never change.”
“You really insist on pride for something useless.”
In fact, he didn’t mean to force a maid’s uniform because the Bunny Girl costume, which showed a lot of exposure and her body figure, also entertained Evan’s eyes. However, he was worried about Arisha’s expression.
“If you’re worried about my body, I’m fine. Master, an appropriate level of force is essential for gamblers. I can take care of the gazes that come by looking at my body.”
“Yeah, if you say so. Dain, protect Diona while I’m away.”
“Okay.”
Dain seemed a little dissatisfied while responding mildly. He had a right to feel so because he was Evan’s escort!
If Belois had not been here, Dain would have somehow accompanied him, but he resigned because he knew Belois’ true strength.
“Okay, so let’s go to the dungeon.”
“I’ll catch all the treasure chests with Lan.”
“I’ll leave it to you, Lin. You just need to catch five that sparkle in rainbow color.”
“Yes!”
“Good luck, leader!”
Evan saluted the fishing team with sincerity and started to head off with the dungeon team. Ditto and Paul were nervous about entering the dungeon with the senior team, but perhaps they would soon be relieved when they learned the dungeon level.
“But you know, about Diona.”
Evan said as he drove the automatic carriage to the first dungeon.
“Will she work out with Dain?”
“I was wondering what you were thinking.”
Arisha shook her head as she thought it was absurd.
“I’ve known for a long time that you try to bring the right man and woman together.”
“Was it obvious?”
It was Evan’s way to try to reduce the blade of a woman who was eyeing to stab him. He was not proud of it, but so far, the success rate had been quite high.
“I’m afraid it’s not going to work out this time. Diona was obsessed with you from the beginning.”
To be honest, even if she was kicked out of the Rabbit House and threatened with her life, Arisha thought that Diona had plenty of other options. She could have applied for the casino competing with Rabbit House.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why she visited Evan, who had taken her down. Evan, of course, had a rough idea, but he had not given up hope yet.
“But if Dain is nice…”
“You’re desperate.”
“Sir Dain… He’s very nice.”
Evan raised his forehead at Belois’ words. Evan knew well that when a woman compliments a man she doesn’t love, the first thing she says is usually a lie for her.
At that time, Arisha opened her mouth with a very sad expression.
“Evan, do you know? The owner and Horta were both approached by at least one woman in Roizen.”
“Roizen is an open city. Besides, both of them are pretty good.”
Horta was a supporting character who was important enough to have his own questline from Yo-Ma Great War Series 3. When he reached the main character, he was originally an NPC specializing in monster meat and was an important ally throughout Yo-Ma Great War Series 3. In other words, it was natural for them to have a certain amount of charm.
However, the problem was that both of them were busy because of Evan’s orders, so they had no time for such distractions. The owner was like that, but Horta himself was not interested in women.
“But Dain…”
“…No, don’t say more than that. I was wrong.”
Evan clenched his teeth and vowed. ‘Someday, I’ll make Dain the most popular! I’m going to disobey the fate of an extra’s role who is forgotten without a single line!’
Then Evan and his group returned to the Gulf of Palman that evening with all the items they could obtain nearby.
In particular, it was a great harvest where they obtained a necklace, a magic-assisted artifact that should have disappeared during the Yo-Ma Great War Series 1, from the Carlosa Tower.
“This is Belois’. Horta will learn how to engrave it by the time we get back from the trip, so we can use it as a final piece of equipment. Will you take it for me?”
“Thank you, Master.”
Roizen’s biggest treasure was handed over to Arisha, so it was Belois’ turn this time.
However, somehow, Evan was clearly shy compared to the time he gave Arisha her gift, and it wasn’t much different from Belois, who seemed to be a little shy when she’d usually keep calm…
“Be honest. What did you do with Evan yesterday?”
Around that time, Arisha, who had a rough sense, questioned Belois. Belois slipped away from Arisha’s eyes by touching the necklace that Evan put on her.
“I didn’t do anything…”
“Well, what about Evan?”
“Master didn’t do anything either…”
Arisha’s heart sank at Belois’ shy response. She was sure that something was going on between the two.
“What, what, if you’re trying to pressure me with a bluff, you’d better quit! I won’t be fooled.”
“There was nothing. We really didn’t have any physical contact…”
“So there was something emotional that happened? Oh, no, I won’t be fooled!”
Belois, however, shut up in fear of saying the wrong thing when she spoke about what happened last night, and Arisha, nervous about falling behind, vowed to make up for it as soon as she arrived in Pellati.
“Dear Leader! Leader! I’ve caught all the treasure chests!”
“But there were seven, not five, that sparkled in rainbow colors!”
“What? Seven? I caught three yesterday, so I’m sure that there are only five rainbows left…”
“Oh, my God!”
“Wow, it’s really hard to live…”
While Arisha and Belois were sparking, Evan, who did not know that his leash was tight, was stunned by checking the items caught by the twin sisters and Diona.
There were definitely eight of the finest treasures you could fish at the Palman fishing grounds, but now he could see that there were ten all in all!
“Maybe their luck has exceeded…?”
Update! Even after Yo-Ma Great War 4, DLCs were added, or Yo-Ma Great War 5 was newly released, adding the Palman fishing area’s treasures! Then maybe there was a possibility that there were more treasures left!
“Ha, if I stay here for one more day, I think I’ll be able to figure it out for sure…”
“If you don’t go now, you won’t be able to enjoy Pellati properly, Evan.”
‘Kuuuuuuu!’
Surely there were other things to do in Pellati as well.
Sensing that he could no longer delay his schedule, Evan eventually pulled out a night fishing card. Still, his only achievement was to catch a huge golden fish overnight that would change the fishing history of the port of Palman.
“Should I stop by on my way back?”
“Stop it. If you take any more sea treasures, the Sea God will be furious.”
“When she comes home, Eloa’s image will be pretty tarnished. I’ve never seen anyone talk about such a delusional thing.”
“Everyone in the sea believes in the Sea God. I have an enemy in Sherden now, but I haven’t changed my mind.”
Eloa was riding in the carriage that left Palman and headed for Pellati.
“Aren’t you sad?”
“I’m a forgotten child in my city. Palman doesn’t need me.”
Eloa spoke in a light tone and looked out the window.
“Where I’m staying is Sherden.”
“…We are grateful to have you in Sherden then.”
Evan just nodded silently at Eloa’s words.
He knew that there were three more brothers above her. He had a rough guess of the situation when he saw that they didn’t even show their noses during her stay in Palman.
In this world, Eloa, who was born with the great gift of magic with a woman’s body, would not have been received well compared to her other brothers.
Perhaps she ran out of her hometown on her own, unable to endure the jealousy of her brothers.
“For the natural hosting of the game, Sherden is a modernized environment. As long as you’re strong, you can be treated well, regardless of gender.”
On the other hand, Pellati, the ruler, was invincible; people’s perception remained somewhat sublime compared to Sherden. Eloa had chosen Sherden instead.
“When I first came to Sherden, I would just like to thank the Marquis for helping me adjust to the city in many ways. He helps everybody, so he probably doesn’t remember.”
“My father does have a great personality.”
“Yes, he’s a wonderful guy. I used to dream of being his mistress.”
“I’ve never heard of that before. Don’t tell me I’m having a stepmother at this age?”
When Evan’s eyes trembled, Eloa grinned and waved.
“It was like a little girl’s delusion, so don’t worry, Master Evan. I was just dazzled by his power to move people with his charismatic eyes, hands, and simple gestures.”
“I wish I hadn’t heard your reason.”
“Power following wealth… is that all Eloa likes in men?”
“Hmm? Then what else is there?”
Belois, who had asked her this, lost her words to the response of Eloa, who looked so calm.
“So we’re finally going to Pellati. There were a lot of useless things on the way…”
Next to Eloa and Belois having a silly conversation, Arisha was sighing with relief and muttering these words. Evan smiled and touched her shoulder when he heard it. It was a light touch, as if he was greeting a friend.
“But it was fun, wasn’t it?”
“It doesn’t matter since you just organized everything like that.”
Of course, it was fun. It was a fresh, new-spirited trip she wanted. But just because it was a fun trip didn’t mean that it was a good trip.
“So be prepared, Evan. Pellati will be a lot more fun.”
Arisha spoke in a lively voice and smiled mischievously. She was really cute when her expression sometimes fell apart like this.
“I remember you came to Sherden because you said Pellati wasn’t fun, which is very interesting.”
“Because there was no Evan in Pellati……oh.”
Arisha replied proudly to Belois’ timely flight, but soon after, she realized how bold her words were and blushed.
All of them had made mistakes on this trip because they were ahead of their mind. So did Evan and Belois, as well as Arisha.
‘It’s… it’s a big deal.’
Meanwhile, Evan thought this. He might have a couple of knives stabbed into his stomach on the way back.
It was a late regret, but sadly, Shine was not around to tease him.
Two days later, the group finally reached the entrance of Pellati.
