YM778.TV Chapter 59 - 59: Killings
The embarrassment of the two girls was great, Choko because of the wet dream she had just had and Nero... Well, she had her reasons.
Big Blue walked through the forest and destroyed everything that stood in its way with its great body and weight. Even stones that looked durable, when weighed down by Big Blue, were crushed to dust.
Luna ran through the forest while following them. Sometimes she killed some small monsters, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, and ate on the way.
"Nero," Choko said suddenly, "There is a city nearby. Should we go there before reaching the Nan Empire?"
"... Somehow, it stinks," Nero said.
Choko got a red face and she argued, "Nero, I didn\'t fart!"
"Your fart doesn\'t smell. What I meant by stinks is something else," Nero explained, "I believe that if your father went far enough to hire a professional killer, he is quite capable of putting up a reward to bring you back to nearby cities. Even if he doesn\'t, you can put up at least posters of missing people and offer a reward to anyone who gives information. I prefer to follow a path without interference, as it would be a pain in the ass if people started to follow us because of this."
Although it was only a speculation that Nero had, Choko believed it was 100% possible that this could happen. "Okay, I like camping. And we still have water and meat, and we can hunt monsters."
"Yes, that is the spirit of the thing." Nero smiled at her.
"In fact, we haven\'t eaten yet. Are we going to hunt some monsters to eat?" Choko asked.
"I still have an apple. Do you want it?" Nero removed a red apple from her inventory.
"I will accept, thank you." Choko smiled and took the apple.
Nero took an apple for herself as well and said, "If you want more, you just need to ask."
"En." Choko nodded since she had a mouthful and couldn\'t speak.
After eating 3 apples, Choko was satisfied and removed the Level 6 Monster Core from her Hunter Card and began to meditate, absorbing the energy from the Monster Core.
When they got closer to a mountain, they had left the forest. The surroundings changed to a wide lawn with fresh air. What was particularly striking was the fact that there were two suns in the sky. Sure, Nero had seen it before, but in the middle of the forest with huge trees, it had always been obscured and she couldn\'t see it very well. Now, without the shade of the trees, Nero and Choko sweated a little.
Because it was a larger place, and without many monsters around ambushing, there were some humans in the distance. Due to the fact that Nero and Choko were walking on the back of a giant tortoise, they received many strange looks, be it fear, curiosity, or lust since the two were beautiful girls, even greed was sometimes visible from a stranger or two.
Just an hour later, Choko opened her eyes and the Monster Core fell apart in her hands. She was very pleased with the progress she had made.
Before she could speak to Nero, on horseback a group of mercenaries began to approach Nero and Choko. They stopped in front of the big turtle, preventing Big Blue from continuing to walk.
What appeared to be the leader of this mercenary group said with a disgusting smile, "You know, there is a famous saying around here: Those who show off too much can be hit by lightning!"
"Excellent, this famous saying is perfectly exemplified by you." Nero feigned praise and clapped her hands.
The mercenary felt something was wrong with what Nero had said, but he was not smart enough to understand, "Exemplified? What do you mean by that!?"
Nero didn\'t seem to mind that the man was confused and about to attack and said calmly, explaining as if she were talking to a friend, "Sigh... Don\'t you know what that means? In short, it is the same as \'explained\'. Incidentally, I also think that if instead of saying lightning, changing the word to an arrow would also work. Don\'t you think so too?"
The mercenary remained confused when he heard what Nero said at the end, but then, he saw Nero holding a bow, and he panicked.
*Whoosh!*
In the next instant, Nero shot a dark arrow, hitting the mercenary\'s head, piercing and killing him in one hit.

"Wow! Isn\'t he amazing, Choko? He got the prediction right... Well, he said lightning, but I corrected him and said an arrow, so he and I got it right together, yeah?" Nero giggled maliciously. Although she was basically the victim of this story, she seemed like a real villain when she said it like that.
"Yes, Nero is incredible!" Choko said with a smile.
The other mercenaries who surrounded them were fearful and did not know whether to move in the direction of Choko and Nero or to run for their lives.
"Just leave some money, and we will let you go!" Wanting to look brave, one of the mercenaries who was also a level 5 said this as he pointed in the direction of Nero and Choko.
"Choko, should we give them money? Mm... What to do..." Nero said nonchalantly, "Well, it doesn\'t matter; they can die too!"
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...!*
