Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Scales (TAT Didn't See the Update Ticket Yesterday)
β...... Well, Himia, we're here to hunt for treasure, not to eat. β
Hagen, who was in a group with Himeya, helplessly looked at Himee, who bought a handful of food with his own money and ate happily.
"I know, but how can you have the heart to find a treasure if you don't eat enough?" Himea kept throwing things into her mouth, although the unknown treasure was not very attractive to her, but the main purpose at present was to eat well.
"And look at Frey, isn't she just going and eating all the way?"
Then why don't you take a look at the person next to Frey? Who dares to ask the emperor for money?
You're going to spend all the money you brought.
"Ah, no, old man, come some more, he'll pay. β
Himaia pointed to Hagen behind her, but her eyes never took her eyes off the food in front of her.
"Okay, but boy?" the old man seemed to be very enthusiastic: "Don't let your little girlfriend eat so much all the time, this thing is very fatty." β
"What is fat...... What are you talking about?"
Girlfriend?
Himia looked around him with some panic, did those who walked by see themselves and Hagen like this?
"Well, you misunderstood. Hagen stepped forward with a red face, trying to explain something, but was stopped by Himeya.
"Woohaha, uncle, seeing that you have such a good eye, I'll buy two more strings!"
What kind of logic is this?
Finally, after carrying two more paper bags of food, Himea was finally able to obediently go on a treasure hunt, but at this time, Hagen's mood could not be calmed down.
The pedestrians who came and went also seemed to look back twice because of Himia, of course. It seems that there are also some women who look at themselves.
In their eyes, are they and Himeya actually a couple?
But haven't you always liked Ariel?
"Ah, speaking of Hagen. Himea said as if remembering something, and turned his back on Hagen not knowing what he had done, and then took out a shiny piece as if by magic.
"You take this thing. β
"What is this?"
Hagen turned out to touch. It was black, like fish scales, but much larger, and shimmered like a jewel in the sun.
What kind of medal is it?
"These are my dragon scales, stupid!" said Himeya, "haven't you seen dragon scales......?"
β...... I haven't really seen this. Hagen said, "Although I wanted to be a dragon knight when I was a child, I never had the opportunity to do so, and this is the first time I have seen real dragon scales. β
"For the first time?" Himaia muttered quietly, with a hint of joy in her tone, which confused Hagen a little.
"Anyway, you've got it for me. If you lose it, get dirty, or break it, I swear I'll beat you, and you can't take care of yourself!"
Is it so serious? Can you not do it?
"Well, what's the point of sending me your dragon scales?"
Himaia wouldn't give himself a piece as a souvenir because he was going to lose his scales, so there must be some meaning.
"This, you don't need to know this!" Himaia hurriedly shouted, "Anyway, you take it for me!"
β...... Well, I'll keep it with care. Hagen nodded: "But Himeya, it looks like you're wearing a swimsuit." Where did the scales come from?"
"It's okay to partially change the form, the scales just now are from the chest...... Ahhhh
β...... It's nothing. "I think I've heard something terrible. But Hagen chose not to die now, "I just think that Himeya's scales are really beautiful." β
"If you don't say it, I know!"
As if hearing something terrible, Himia's face turned red and she hurriedly distanced herself from Hagen.
β...... Praise you too. Hagen was speechless. Then he followed.
"It's not what you think, stupid. Himea glanced back from the corner of her eye and muttered quietly.
βββββββββββββββββ βββββββββββββββββββββ
It was close to night, according to Ariel, if it could not be found again. You have to go back and gather together.
Ever since she had given her scales to herself, Himea hadn't spoken much to herself, but was walking forward with her head down.
And, because it didn't seem like he had found any kind of treasure, Himea seemed a little unhappy.
"Alright Himeya, the sun is almost setting, let's go back quickly. Seeing that it was not early, Hagen hurriedly shouted to stop Himeya, who still didn't know what he was thinking, but was just walking.
"Himeya?"
"But the treasure hasn't been found yet?"
"Ariel said to go back in the evening, otherwise it would be dangerous......"
"Well, but what if I can't find it today, what about the treasure? It must still be waiting for me to open it. β
...... There is no such treasure.
"Anyway, let's go back first, maybe we can find it again tomorrow. β
"Well, okay. Looking at this large stretch of beach, it seemed that it was really impossible to find an iron box, and Himea had no choice but to give up and chop the beach with her foot as if venting.
But it was this kick that made Himeya's tears almost not stay.
"Whew! it hurts me. A strange pain came, as if she had stepped on something hard, and Himea hurriedly covered her feet and slipped into Hagen's arms.
"There are stones in the sand!"
Stones? No.
The place where Himea had stepped on seemed to reveal a corner of something, except for a small footprint.
Is it a treasure?
Isn't it? Himea just kicked it and found it?
In his joy, Hagen even forgot that he was hugging Himea in a very ambiguous position.
"Wow! Treasure!"
Himaia immediately forgot about the pain in her feet and went straight to dig up the sand.
Soon, a rusty iron box that looked very old appeared in front of the two of them.
"Treasure! I'm here for the gold!"
The moment Himia saw the treasure chest, he was about to open it, but was stopped by Hagen.
"That Himia, Ariel said she would bring back if she found it. β
"No, I can't. Himeia shook her head and began to pull the iron box with her hand, "She must want to take it to herself, anyway, the treasure we found must be mine?"
You don't seem to be the same subject just now.
"Of course I'll give you a bit. Himea said, as she began to pull the box with all her might.
But the box seemed to be glued together, and even if Himea was a dragon, there was no sign of cracking at all.
Is this why Ariel kept herself from opening?
Just kidding, I'm a dragon, how can I not even open a box?
β...... Hagen, get out of the way a little. Himia said with an unhappy face: "I don't believe it, I hammer open the diamonds, and a broken box can't be opened?"
