บท 17: Gourmet Hunters!? 1
The heavy rainfall finally stops in the afternoon, the solidified mud wall in the entrance stood still. Outside the dome, the endless land turned into an endless mud.
Using his hammer, Lucas turns the mud to solid land that connects to Coco's location, half of Coco's husk is covered with mud.
He still has three tanks of clean water, he sprays water on Coco's husk
to wash off the dirt on his body, "Sorry Coco, I've used up the last drop of mana grains already, but for being my first partner, I'll promise that you won't be sleeping any longer after this."
Suddenly a crisp voice came behind him, "Sounds good, but you have a problem boy!"
Lucas turned around to see who's to talking, "Old man Redford, what do you mean?" He asks puzzled.
"Get inside, Neil and the rest need to be informed too, " Redford said seriously and turns around, "This is a serious matter, don't take it lightly, follow me!"
Inside the dome, Hugo, Neil, Della, Viola, Violet, and Rita formed a circle near the basket of little felines, they were waiting for Lucas and Redford to arrive. Neil was restless, what kind of information does Redford have? Is it about the organization? Or about the nobles? No one knows, but the atmosphere becomes serious.
Not long after, Lucas and Redford finally arrived. Lucas wore an emotionless face and sit down in an empty space. "Old man Redford, what information have you gathered?"
"Haist, " Redford looks at Lucas helplessly, he's rushing everything, "Kid, the noble family of Randolf started to gather forces of elite planteros, I heard their target is a dome made outside of the city, and I'm hundred percent sure that it was your dome!"
Lucas raised his brows and feel intrigued, he crossed his arms and look at Redford seriously, "Old man, who is this Randolf family? What reason do they have to decide to destroy my dome?"
The hell, this kid did not even care about who he just fought with! It's just a few days and he forgets already! "Hmm, he's Randolf's heir, Rezmon! He wants to destroy your dome!"
"Rezmon? Who the hell is he!?"
*Wack!
Looking at Redford's reaction, slapping his head irritates him, but what can he do? He's still an elder, "Come on old man! Stop slapping your face, you look like an 'M'!"
"Pff!" Redford spat blood when he heard what Lucas said, his face turned red out of embarrassment and anger, "Brat, it's enough, Rezmon is the guy who you fought with inside the kernel inn! In five to six days, he will attack your dome!"
"Lol, so it was that guy?" he replied, "How did he know my dome:s location?"
"What is Lol? Well, I heard a certain someone stole his beloved girl!"
"What!?" Lucas exclaimed, what kind of thinking is that!? "Well, I can give Rita back to him if you want!"
"Kuhhokk!" This time he spat blood on the ground, I'm the guild leader! He dared to say that! "Brat! It's Della, not my beautiful daughter!"
Rita heard what his father said rush towards his arms, her eyes shone with warm emotion and tears of joy, "Awe, dad, thank you!"
"Hah? let's just exchange Rita, since she's beautiful!" Hugo cut in.
"Rita and Redford just ignore him, " Lucas said, " I already have a plan, let's tie Hugo and throw him as a bait to lure them!"
"Hahaha!"
The heavy atmosphere has been lifted and replaced with laughs and warmness.
After hearing the situation, Lucas becomes serious, he asks the chili dragons to dries all of the peppercorns Queen Anthena gave him. The chili dragons take a shift to makes the process faster, Chivous also joined them. His breath dries twice as faster than all of his underlings together.
Lucas left them to observe his other planteros, the 250 peanut butterflies finally grew in number, the pot of peanut plant overgrown the pot. It looks like a mini jungle, their twigs intertwined and their leaves leave no space for him to look at the soil of the pot.
The peanut butterfly leader has her wings span grow to 6 feet long, his enormous size makes him looks like a young fairy from the forest, added with her beautiful wings that sparkle whenever she flaps them to gather mana.
"Erg, since you're still alive until now, I have to give you proper name too, amm, butter goddess? Erg Peanut Butter? Shit don't slap me okay! okay! You'll be... Maripusae!"
"Pff!"
Suddenly, someone laughs from his back, "Haha, bro, that sounds weird!"
"Yeah, now that you say it, then I shall give her a fairy-like name instead, right? You'll be Deysi!" He said, feeling satisfied Lucas smiles and left them with a little mana milk, "Sorry Deysi, it'll take days before I can give you proper food, okay?"
Hugo taps his shoulder and drops paper bags on his head, " Brother since you are busy, Viola and Violet will just deliver the food here, that's what they said. Those paper bags are for your black ant peppers, we taste some of them and they are much better than the normal dried black ant pepper. Grandpa said that you can double the price if you want!"
"Thanks!" Lucas just gave him a fist bump and went straight to basket of felines, there's still no improvement, they still are sleeping with Ranrem. Lucas filled the wooden container with mana milk for them once they woke up.
When its already 8 PM, Hugo already went to bed while Ranrem takes his place. Lucas was packing the black ant pepper while everyone takes their dinner.
The outside is dark, the moon and stars are covered with a thick layer of cloud, only the light of torches gives light to the dark dome. The girls slept with the felines while Hugo and Neil are in the empty basket. Hugo went back to the guild, and Ranrem guards the entrance. Even the planteros are taking their rest.
Lucas alone works himself to pack 51 kilos of dried black ant pepper the whole night, the spiciness and aroma make his body stay warm.
Midnight
Finally, he already packed all of them, the bags are sealed beautifully. He makes a satisfied sigh and looks at the entrance.
He approached Ranrem and sit beside her, " Good morning!"
"GM"
"Haha! still the same, it's been days since I have a conversation like this!" Lucas said, "You can rest now, I'll take the shift. I need you tomorrow!"
"...."
"Ranrem, " he said and waved his hands on her face, "Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?"
"...Go away, " She said and look away.
Lucas was stunned, wait, what's with her? "Hey, come on. What did I do?"
She suddenly faces him with a serious face, not the emotionless one. Pack! A crisp sound echoed in the silent dome, Lucas' face has red handprint, "Lucas, I don't know why, but, I hate guys like you! You're lecherous! Building a harem? You serious? I don't know why my heart aches, men are all the same."
"Owe, " He touches his face in shame, so that's it hah? "I'm not lecherous, girl, I did not say that I'm building a harem, but on your tone, it feels like I am building a harem. What is so bad about building a harem?"
Ranrem suddenly stood up and clench her fist, she want to give Lucas a good beating but she stop herself, "Having a harem, you will have less time to be together with your wives..."
"Off, haha!" He suddenly laughs when he heard her, her face was red with a tinge of embarrassment, so she has this side hah? "W-wait, haha, don't hit me! You know, just because you have multiple wives doesn't mean I have to divide my time to be together with all of you, right?"
He stand up and looks at her eyes, he hugs her waist to restrict her movement, their face was so close, they can feel their breath and hear the beat of their heart, "You gave me the idea of having a harem, you have to be the sacrifice. You can't say no or else, tonight w-- buhhk!"
"S-shut up! I-I'm going to sleep since you n-need me tomorrow!" She said and left Lucas who is holding his stomach, she went to the felines home in a hurry without looking back, her face down to her neck was as red as a tomato. Wuh! What's with him!? Why do I feel hot?
She laid down near the girls and hug one of the giant ginger kittens, she hurried her face on it's and screamed.
"Umu, " A sudden whisper on her ears shocked her makes her almost lost consciousness, Viola and Della approached her with a devilish face, "Fufu! Since you are the sacrifice, can we taste you?"
"D-della, what are you saying?"
"Fufu, " Viola chuckled and approached her on the other side, "We heard everything, you don't want to share time with us? Then let's share our time together tonight!"
The night was loud for the felines and girls, they have an hour girls talk before they finally get quiet.
Lucas who doesn't know what's happening and just guard the entrance all night long.
5 PM when trucks of glass blocks arrived near the dome, one truck of men wore uniform long sleeves and safety gears approached the entrance of the dome, an old man went down of the passengers sit, "Haha! Good morning kid! We are ready to build the walls of your dome!"
"Grandpa Buckler! Good morning! So today is the birth of 'Wall of Aegis'?" Lucas said excitedly and approached them.
Buckler's face suddenly turned ugly, "Wall of Aegis? The hell! It's so lame, we will give it a name after it's done! Not now!"
"Haha, okay! Well let's just name it after that, I still need to attend some business today so, good luck and God bless!"
After greeting each other, Buckler and his workers left and started to measure how far the wall will be made. Lucas also left to wake Ranrem and the girls.
Surprisingly, as if they have an alarm clock, the girls already awake and getting their selves ready. They make a wooden cubicle for them to take a bath and changes their clothes. Neil also gets his self-ready, leather armor and his Great Ax.
Hugo was left behind, the dome needs a guard same to the workers. He has to secure the safety of the workers to build the wall as fast as possible.
Lucas stored the bags of black ant peppers at the back of Neil's truck, he's not wearing any metal or leather armor, instead, he wore a hooded cloak, and long sleeves with an extended collar to covers his face.
Ramrem with her bows and arrow and a hooded cloak, daggers on her waist and mask, wait, a mask? "Ranrem, what's with that mask? Why do you hide your fac-kak! What's that for?"
Ranrem kicked his knee softly and left without replying, "Aish, this girl! Well, let's do our business first!"
With Neil as the driver, Lucas and the group finally left the dome. While in the Grains City, the notice of a great sale of the high-quality pepper was spread, the noble families collected every mana grains and gold they have to make a trade, but no one gives to much attention to it because no commoner can afford a large amount in one go.
But outside the city wall, a group of savage looking people with large butcher knives with them will be made them helpless.
The Gourmet Hunters have arrived!
