Chapter 168 – 168.Luong’s Ultimate Guide (2)
“Oh my, what’s going on? Mai, Mai.”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? I came to play~.”
“It would be more effective if we, the heads of the Flame Dragon Association, showed up at Portis often.”
Sister Luong approached us with a smile.
“You know, did you change your area of activity to Luong?”
“Or did you just stop by once?”
“How did you know we went to Luong?”
“You really did a background investigation!”
The Luong sisters giggled at Atsubal’s question.
“Ahahaha, you’re talking behind my back. That’s funny, May.”
“Ahahaha, yes! Mai. I guess they don’t know how famous they are yet.”
“We didn’t really investigate~.”
“That’s right, the news arrived on its own~.”
“Oh, can you hear the news on your own?”
The Luong sisters said, clasping their palms together.
“Fortis Group is completely receiving everyone’s attention~.”
“Famous families in Luong are also very interested in information about the Fortis Group.”
“Wow~ Sihan even won a martial arts competition recently.”
“I can’t help but be attracted to attention.”
I think the reason why Luong’s family was so interested was not only because of my achievements, but also because Sister Luong kissed me on the cheek at the same time as a special reward that day?
“So are you really here to have fun, Luong May, Luong Mai? What is your real purpose?”
“Oh my, Adelia is really suspicious too~.”
“We already decided to get along well~.”
Sister Luong dropped her palm and smiled, gently covering her mouth.
“Hehe, well, rather than just having fun, I came here to get closer to the Fortis Group.”
“We’ll accompany you and help you with the request. We’ll even provide a guide as a bonus.”
“You don’t need a guide because I have you, right?”
“Ah, Yeonhwa too~.”
“The more guides you have, the better.”
“Besides, you can enjoy a more royal guide if we are the princess.”
“That’s right, two princesses personally guide you. Where can you find such a luxurious guide?”
“I am also royalty.”
“Hey, with a royal guide from another country~”
“The local royal guide feels completely different~.”
Sister Luong waves her hand, showing her will to accompany us somehow.
From the beginning, there was no intention of rejecting the two since they were partner characters in Luong.
Moreover, from their perspective, they would like to become closer to us and appeal to those around them that the Flame Dragon Association and the Fortis Group are closer.
“Okay. Then, please ask for a guide.”
“As expected! Manager Sihan is good at talking to people~.”
“I feel a sense of closeness, perhaps because we are the same manager.”
As soon as I accepted, Sister Luong came right next to me and crossed her arms.
“May-sama? Mai-sama? Isn’t it too close?”
“Ugh, uh. Si-sihan…!”
“Luong May! Luong Mai! Protect the moderation.”
“Hehe, what are you doing with something like this~? Right, May?”
“That’s right! We even kissed~ Right, Mai?”
“Didn’t he suddenly say that the kiss was a special reward?”
Well, it was good.
“Hehe, should I give it to you even if it’s not a special reward~?”
“If you had a reputation like that of Director Portis, wouldn’t every day be special?”
“Do it in moderation.”
“Get away.”
Yeonhwa and Adelia each grabbed Luong Mai and Luong Mai and pulled them away from me.
“Kyaaa~ It’s violent~ I fell helplessly~.”
“We are a weak match for the non-fighting Fortis Group.”
Laughing and giggling, Luong May and Luong Mai maintained a playful attitude.
***
Taking the Luong sisters with us, we took a warp seat and moved to Bauza, the capital of Luong.
“But aren’t there any other members of the Flame Dragon Society?”
“Yes, it’s just us.”
“Wouldn’t it be troublesome to bring in all the members of the Flame Dragon Society?”
“Well, there are some members who feel uncomfortable or scared of you after Jin’s incident.”
“Jin has reflected a lot and grown, but there are also kids who find it difficult to come forward.”
“So, we will be the representatives!”
“If we, the managers, continue to hang out together and become close friends, the other members will feel safe too, right?”
Even though he showed a mischievous attitude, he still cared about the group.
“May a brilliant light fall on you! Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild!”
Bauza’s receptionist showed the same attitude as usual in front of not only us but also the princesses, Sister Luong.
No, I see you are sweating a little, so am I feeling anxious on the inside?
“”What are you going to request?””
I gently pushed back the Luong sisters who were talking on the stereo on either side and chose a request for today.
“This is it.”
The one I chose this time is the request to exterminate the ironclad tortoise.
It is a monster that lives in rocky areas and is closer to the salt tank.
“It’s an ironclad tortoise~.”
“He’s so hard. You need some tricks to catch him!”
“We’ll tell you~.”
“I’ve caught a lot of ironclad tortoises~.”
“No, there’s no need for that. Let’s figure it out on our own first.”
“Really?”
“It’s good to have a spirit of exploration and challenge.”
After receiving the request, I borrowed the horse again and took out the carriage.
“Wow! This is the carriage that the Fortis Group rides on!”
“It’s spacious~.”
Sister Luong looked around the cooking carriage.
“We’re leaving, so get on board.”
“”Okay~””
Everyone took turns getting into the carriage.
But there was something different from usual.
Sister Luong was not in the carriage.
That is.
“Excuse me, Sihan.”
Pamela, who always sat across from me, took the seat next to me.
“Ah, I was going to sit next to Director Sihan.”
“It’s late~.”
I thought about this after listening to Sister Luong, who came in later.
Is it perhaps to prevent Sister Luong from becoming too attached to me?
If Pamela was feeling jealous towards the Luong sisters…
Pamela looked a little cuter.
“May and Mai, please sit next to me.”
“Okay~”
“I can’t help it~.”
30 minutes to get to the spot where the ironclad tortoise is.
Sister Luong chatted with each other non-stop and repeatedly asked us questions.
“I had no idea that the freshman who was called Shinsung from the first day of school would be so active.”
“That’s right, but after that, the hero’s actions! Even our Flame Dragon Association was very surprised.”
“You know what? Actually, Jin worked really hard after losing to Manager Sihan~.”
“You cringe every time you hear about Director Sihan’s reputation, right?”
“It was obvious she was wondering if she had picked a fight with such a big guy.”
“Of course I was very motivated, but the way I was shaking was a bit cute~.”
“Oh, by the way, Yeonhwa, how about staying at Fortis Group? Is it comfortable?”
“Looking at the room, I saw some Luong-style decorations. Did you do it yourself?”
“It’s comfortable and cozy. And I bought and did the decorations myself.”
Of course, most of the questions were focused on Yeonhwa, who was from the same school.
Yeonhwa, who always smiles confidently and says, “Oh, ho, ho, ho!”, Was even calmer than usual in front of her Luong sisters, like the women of her family.
Rather than being polite… There was a strong feeling of being wary of the Luong sisters.
And 30 minutes later.
“Sihan, tell Atsubal to stop.”
“Okay.”
She was smart and knocked on the window leading to the coach seat and signaled to Atsbal.
Let’s stop the carriage and get off the carriage.
She saw Atsubal eating a stick of ice.
“When did you get something like that, Atsubal?”
“Hmph! Do you know how hot it is to be alone in the coach seat? This is basic!”
“No, I’m not saying it’s a tree.”
Since I’m driving alone in a hot place, I can eat ice cream.
“Come on, let’s go~.”
“You’ll find an ironclad tortoise if you go this way.”
Perhaps intending to act as a nominal guide, Sister Luong took the lead and guided her along the way.
Soon we found an ironclad tortoise.
A large turtle with a shell that is not gray like iron, but dark brown.
It is named so because the shell of its carapace and feet is as hard as iron armor.
For reference, I don’t know the principle, but these guys attack by rotating their bodies and rushing quickly.
There were a total of three ironclad turtles discovered.
“I’m a turtle, so do I need to use the Vines of Tenacity?”
“If it’s an ironclad tortoise, you’ll need to use more.”
“Is that so? Then… Vine of obsession!”
Pamela’s tenacious vines trapped three ironclad tortoises.
-… !
Only after Pamela’s skill her hit the mark did the armored tortoises notice us.
“Protection Department!”
“Wow! It’s the Shu family’s protection department!”
“With this, safety is secured!”
“May-sama! Mai-sama! Stay back!”
“”Okay~””
As Sister Luong retreated due to Yeonhwa’s shouting, we began to connect in a regular manner.
After receiving buffs from Adelia and Lucas, Pamela shoots her nail of shatter.
Kakakakang!
“Ah, ah! It bounced!”
As expected, the name ironclad tortoise was not given for cool.
The buffed crushing nail hit the shell of an armored turtle and bounced off.
“It’s okay, Pamela. Take one more hit.”
“Yes, yes! The Nail of Crushing!”
Pup pup puk!
-… !
“I got stuck!”
It was as expected.
The most important thing about the Crushing Nail is not the damage, but the debuff that occurs the moment it is hit.
Even if it bounced, the debuff that lowered defense would still have been applied when it hit, and the crushing nail that stuck when it hit the next time was proof that the debuff had been properly applied.
Since preparations are complete, all that remains is to attack with the dealer and quickly kill the armored turtle.
“Go, Adelia, Myka.”
“Yes! Captain!”
“Got it!”
It’s time to show our skills directly to Sister Luong.
