Cloudia stroked her aching head as well due to the wall shock. When he woke up, before him was Suzuka's wooden wakizashi that had been pinned on him. Suzuka stood in front of him with a flat face.
“This is your defeat.”
“U-Uhhh. I give up~” Still can smile Cloudia even if she loses. It's not like it's going to be a disgrace to lose. After all, he had no obligation to risk his life. “You can pick up the Golden Egg.”
Dayat walked closer. He used healing magic on the wound on his back. He stops when he is on a level with Suzuka. “Good if you admit defeat. Now, can you tell us where the Golden Egg is stored?”
“Um well... being in a hidden room I can retrieve it,” replied Cloudia. “But before that, I have to say that there is only one Golden Egg. Since the Catastrophe, the production of Golden Eggs has stopped due to the destruction of the facility.”
Just one? Hearing this made Dayat think that they only had one friend who would increase in strength. He himself who felt that he was weak wanted to gain strength, but better give Golden Eggs to Dans.
Dans, although not yet comparable to Zen, he was the person in their squad who could best clash against Zen. Having one long spear that could stab an opponent was better than some useless blunt sword.
“Sorry, I didn't expect this,” Suzuka said.
“No, this is not your fault,” said Dayat.
The two of them carried Cloudia away to the secret room. Being at the end of the room, one of the tiles can be lifted and show the stairs leading down. Ridding the long, dark and narrow passageway, they finally reached a dead end. In front of them was a podium with Golden Eggs lying there.
His name describes his form. Golden eggs are golden with red pomegranate in four corners of the same egg. There is also a green emerald smaller than pomegranate located between each pomegranate stone. Then, there is a gold ring that surrounds the body of the Golden Egg and becomes a place where emerald with pomegranate attached.
On the podium, the Golden Egg had a red pad on which it lay. He is also protected by thin, clear glass and protects it from dust. Light lamps from the sky fell place on him, shining on him with a magnificent golden color, the,
“Not too special.” Dayat commented flatly.
“Say that on a thousand-year-old artifact. Do you think I'll wipe it sparkle every day? Nah! After I covered it with glass, I didn't take care of it anymore! It's been lucky this one egg can survive to this day!” Cloudia's upset. The intersection of the veins was clearly visible above his forehead.
“Sorry, sorry, I thought when I saw this Golden Egg it would be like getting a legendary sword capable of slashing the Demon King or something.” Dayat smiled awkwardly. Feeling the difficulties and complicated, in addition to observing corruption cases, can also be obtained when you want to calm a girl who is craving.
“Already, already, good tips get one.” Suzuka patted Cloudia on the back. “Thank you for taking care of it for us.”
“Ya, alright.” Cloudia. “This has nothing to do with me but, may I know who will have that last Golden Egg? Besides you guys, there's one person on top and four people in a separate room.” He added, “It's okay if you don't want to answer. I'm not forcing.”
“Wait, four people in another room?” Dayat wondered.
“Zen...” Dayat mutters.
“So yes.” Suzuka made a pause of breath. “Thank you for helping us get here. But we will soon meet our colleagues up there.”
“Eh? Done already? Too bad, Cloudia became alone, nih~” Cloudia pretended to cry. Both of his hands covered his face. “Do you guys not want to play any longer with Cloudia?”
“Not unwilling, but circumstances force.” Suzuka smiled dryly at Cloudia. His hand moved holding Dayat's back, and he slowly carried the teenager away. There will be no endless tone serving Cloudia who according to him has a childish nature. “Come away, Dayat. Surely Dans is tired of waiting.”
The appearance of Zen and the comrades who would make tunnels inside the ground was beyond their predictions. The thought made Suzuka feel astonished as to why they had entered the punishment room instead of going straight to the top. His imagination says that Zen and his friend went the wrong way (and that is true), but his logic is that Zen is deliberately using them will pave the way.
Judging Zen who can get here, there must be informants. But Suzuka was convinced that the informant did not have complete information. Highest up to the location of the Crown Mountain Preceptor facility and myths about objects in it. From there, knowing the whereabouts of the Dans squads, Zen used them to reach the last treasure while Zen would plunder it. Plundering from an exhausted enemy will be easier than fighting a prime condition enemy.
Well, just ignore the presumption about Zen. The problem is bigger when this teenager with his friends has gotten to where they are. Passing through the gate, Zen followed Meta, Sekar, and Prince Albert to reveal himself.
“Hah, huh, I didn't think we were going the wrong way. Lucky you guys came. They are very helpful as compass, ‘kan, Meta?”
“True. Because of you we're stuck in a fucking room. Lucky my radar detected a group of individuals. I can't believe it was you. Thanks to you guys I was able to dig a tunnel using light cube to get straight here.”
“Yo, long time no see, Mr. Dayat.”
Just shut up not saying. He looked at Dayat with cold eyes.
“Yes. A destiny we meet, Zen, Meta, Prince Albert.” Dayat paused for a moment staring at Sekar. “Are you okay, Sekar?” He was a little anxious considering the innocent little girl. The expression of his feet when looking at Zen was replaced by a sense of warmth and anxiety.
“OK, just get here we exchange greetings. That golden-coloured egg must be a treasure from this place, right?” Zen smirked at the Golden Egg in Dayat's hand. “Cube you two choices. First choice, hand over the egg and leave. Or second choice, I'll kick you, I'll kick that egg, and then you'll leave. Oh, with the remaining limb of course.”
“Sorry, I refused!”
*set!* *trank!*
Suzuka settles to the back of Zen and lands the attack using wakizashi. Zen block. He quickly pulled one of his swords.
