The third day of the school competition, [Treasure Hunt].
We had an hour before the start, so we had a strategy meeting in the waiting room.
"Let's put together the rules.
Gaius looks over at us.
"The time limit is three hours. The location is the Castle of Orihalcon, which rises into the sky. The team with the most treasure in the castle wins.
"Oh, isn't orichalcone ...... the hardest mineral in the world?"
Gaius nods at Elise's question.
"Walls and tops of castles are not so easily broken. The corridors from the iron will are stretched out like the blood vessels of the human body. The number of rooms is insanely large and the castle is divided into 100 levels.
"Wow, 100 is a lot of ....... It's so huge. Was it that big?
"I heard that when we enter the castle, our bodies are magically shrunk. And when we enter, we are randomly transported into the castle."
They say that each school is sent to different parts of the castle.
"I heard that they will be transferred at regular intervals, so I don't think there will be a battle right after the transfer. Besides, no one has the treasure at the start. Fighting there would be futile."
"So, do we have to look for treasure at the beginning everywhere?"
"In the beginning. I think that after the middle of the game, when each player has searched for the treasure to a certain extent, they start fighting with each other. The treasure (resources) is limited.
Gaius spreads the map that the chairman gave him on the desk in the room.
"Wow, it's so detailed! It's impossible to memorize this.
"Oh, yeah? I've already memorized it."
"Aniue awesome!"
"No, not everyone is a monster like my brother. ......"
Gaius sighs.
"Is there only one map?"
"You've been given enough for the number of people. But it's a lot of work to have to look at a map, search for treasure, and fight enemies."
"Hmmm ...... what do you say, little brother?"
Gaius thinks for a moment.
"Let's build a base. We'll fortify our defenses with wards, and one of us will be the operator, giving orders to the rest of the team."
"I see. So we don't move separately, but according to a command tower. Who will do it?"
I'll do it.
"Wouldn't it be better to have Aniue's?"
The younger brother shakes his head and says.
"No, I want you and Mika to be active and retrieve the treasure as soon as possible. Elise and Sakura will join me to create and defend the base.
"I see, so we'll be divided into a vanguard and a rear guard."
Vanguard, me, Michael.
Rear guard-Gaius, Sakura, Elise.
You guys get the treasure and bring it to the base.
"I see. By consolidating them in one place rather than dispersing them, it is easier for the rear guard to defend and repel the attackers if only one of them is targeted. And the vanguard can concentrate only on searching for the treasure.
"That's what I mean. That's my brother, he immediately recognized the intent of the plan.
"Of course, you're my brother, right?"
"Brother ......"
Sakura sighs in disgust.
"We're in the middle of a strategy meeting, so don't flirt, Gaius?"
"No, I'm not flirting with you! Don't you dare! Hmph!"
"Do you sometimes lose track of your gender? A woman?"
"I am! I'm a man!"
Aside from that.
"At the start, you will be sent to a random location. First, all five of us have to meet up with the others. The treasure hunt is secondary."
We nod in agreement to Gaius' words.
"Monsters roam in the castle. Stronger enemies are stationed in the rooms where the treasure is. And the higher you go, the stronger the enemies get. ......100 the bosses on the first level are incredibly strong."
"That's why the points are so high, right?"
Stronger enemies mean more rare and valuable treasures.
So you know what I'm talking about, don't you, brother?
"Oh, yeah, as long as I get it before everyone else does, right?"
Gaius smiles happily.
"That's my boy, you know exactly what I mean!"
"Of course. You and I are twins, one and the same.
"Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot all about the twins.
Mikael's cheeks puffed up.
"It's not fair. ...... all you do is eat and drink, it's not fair, it's not fair!"
Mikhail hugs me.
"I wish I had a twin with an aniou!
"Don't be absurd, Mica. We're not even blood related to begin with. ......"
"It's a gaiusu! Sesai no yo de sasu?"
"What the hell is that ...... already ......, come on, get away from me."
Beli, and Gaius pulls his brother-in-law off him.
"Gaius always gets in the way of me and Anyue getting along. Jealousy is hard to see, isn't it?"
"I'm not trying to get in your way.
"Don't lie! Whenever me and my sister bathed together, he'd come in! When I sneak into your bed, Gaiasus sneaks into mine! You're in my way!"
"Baka, baka! Don't say that out loud!"
"Heh,...... you're so good together,...... ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡"
Sakura giggled, and somehow Dantalion was there as well.
"Oh my god! When did you do that?
"Well, that's when Mikhail jumped on me. Right?"
"Yes. I could feel the aura of dense rot. ......♡"
Dantalion twists and turns, his cheeks flushed.
"It's very nice that you three brothers are so close ......♡ By the way, when will the three of you be together?"
I won't! Come on out and say it!"
"Whenever I do, I'll play the role of the photographer. ......♡"
"I don't want it! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Soo ...... and Dantalion sank soundlessly into the shadows.
"He's too much of a god ......."
Gaius sighs.
"Now that we have a plan, it's time to go.
"Yeah, I guess so. ......"
"What, you're tired before we even started?"
Whose fault is it, whose!
Well, anyway, that's how we were going to tackle the third day of the [treasure hunt].
