Chapter 74 Mysterious Crater

Sasa Sasa Sasa

Peshi Peshi

While running through the jungle

Grass hits my face as usual.

It bends like a whip and directly strikes my face.

But, theres no pain.

Probably because of the evolution into the Baby Angel Vampire.

My skin might have become even tougher.

Tokukawa nya~ The grass is peshipeshi hitting you, are you all right nya?

No problem

I see nya~ Im unhurt thanks to you, Tokukawa nya~ Nyanya

I hear a happy voice from the rear.

Because Ado is running quite fast through the jungle.

Chiko is holding me around my belly so that she doesnt fall.

Chikos cat hair is tickling my neck.

Chiko also sometimes rubs her cheek against my back.

When Chiko gets excited she gets closer and starts rubbing against me.

It may be Cat tribes habit.

Goshujin-shama~ We will be leaving the jungle soon deshu~

Nu. True

In response to the voices, I look forward

And surely, an open terrain come to sight.

Excellent.

I can finally say goodbye to the grass hitting my face.

Theres no damage, but it feels uncomfortable.

Its prickling.

Nnya~? Strange nya~? We should still be advancing through the jungle nya~

Nn?

Eh?

I hear Chikos confused voice.

It seems we shouldnt be getting out of the jungle.

Chiko, what do you mean?

Nnya~ We should keep on advancing through the jungle nya~

But, its open terrain in front of us

This is strange nya~ We should be going the right way, though nya~

Nn?

Why is it?

But.

Well.

We will understand soon.

We will be leaving the jungle after a few seconds.

Uun.

However

What is it?

I have an unpleasant premonition

Sasa Sasa Sasa

We leave the jungle.

We are out deshu~

Ado vigorously left the jungle

However, this is

A large cave-in?

The terrain is greatly scooped out like a crater.

As if a meteorite fell here.

W, what the meow is this nya? What nya~! This wasnt here last time nya~

Nu. What is this?

A big hole deshu~

Yeah

Poka~n

Poka~n

Poka~n

Poka~n

We blankly stare at the crater.

I feel like.

This crater was made recently.

Looks new deshu~ Great Hole-san

Nu. I think so too. An after battle trace? If thats the case, the one who left the crater here may have quite the skill

Nyanya~ So huge nya~ The me~ow is this nya?

We fixedly stare at the crater.

Uun.

Fu~mu.

Anyway, its a huge hole.

Its larger than the crater left by En-san and Tortoise-san.

This is

Made with magic?

Or from a clash of some big monsters?

I dont see anything special in the crater.

Its just a hollow hole.

Lord. We should be more careful from now on

As En-san said. We should watch out for whoever made this

Deshu ne~

Lord~ Lets check the surroundings?

Uun.

What to do?

We may be able to find out the cause of this crater.

But

I feel like it would be better to quickly leave this place.

Uun.

However~

I also feel that it would be good to check it out.

Ado and En-san are both here.

Lets see. Lets take a look at the center of the crater for now. Ado, please

Understoodeshu

I will be watching the surroundings, no need to worry

Nyanya. Investigation nya~ I will investigate too nya~

Sasa Sasa Sasa

We approach the center of the big crater.

The ground seems harder the more we approach the center.

Rather than that

It became stiff after being melted.

Nyanya~ This ground looks like it was hit with a great heat nya~

Oh.

Chiko has the same thought.

Nu. Possibly a fire magic. However, the scale is quite considerable

You think so too?

But, a magic that surprised even En-san?

This feels considerably bad~

I got chills.

Sasa Sasa Sasa

We approach the center on Ados back.

Sa Sutan

I get down from Ado and walk around.

Everyone else also checks the ground.

Busu

Chiko inserts a syringe into the ground.

Its a similar syringe to one she has used on the huge tree.

A magic tool that examines mana.

I see nya~ I see nya~

Oh.

Chiko looks at the displayed screen and nods.

Whats wrong? Chiko. Have you found out something?

Yes nya~ The mana around here has completely disappeared nya. Mana is normally everywhere no matter what nya

Chiko looks down.

Chiko looks in wonder.

Mana is a source of life.

And if theres none that means

That theres no life in this crater?

Nu. Certainly. I cant feel mana here

En-san is of the same opinion.

When I look at Ado

Shes staring at the ground as if she found something.

She moves her head closer to the ground and sticks out her butt.

Her tail is fluttering.

Umu.

What is the matter?

Sutasuta Sutasuta

I approach Ado.

Whats wrong, Ado? Have you found something?

Goshujin-shama~ I feel that its little soft here deshu~

What?

The ground Ado is looking at doesnt look any different from the ground around.

However.

When Ado taps on the ground

Kankan

Nn?

A strange sound.

Something feels wrong.

When I tap on other places.

Konkon

Indeed.

The sound is different.

It sounds like a cavity is at the place Ado is looking at.

Uun.

If thats the case

Is there something under the ground Ado is looking at?

Nu. Whats wrong?

Nyan nya~?

Oh.

En-san and Chiko came too.

In fact, it seems like something is under this ground?

Deshu~

Nu. Then, its simple. Leave it to me

Eh?

Bakon!

Kachan!

Oh.

Ou

En-san suddenly strikes the ground with a great force.

Then.

A mysterious space appeared.

And underground room? or something.

Nyanya~ There really is something nya~

Deshudeshu~

I told you to leave it to me

En-san makes a satisfied expression.

Ado and Chiko put their faces bellow.

It looks like that theres a room down bellow?

There might be a treasure nya~

Deshu ne. Going deshu~

Nu. Im going too

Huh.

Looks like everyone is determined to go down.

Maa, I was also thinking about taking a look.

I cant ignore it after coming this far.

Yosh. Lets investigate the room bellow
