Chapter 91 - 91. Pchew... Pchew... Pchew...

"Ready when you are, Red Four and Red Five. Both of you are able and can have a go at it together. Remember, be careful always, don't be too cocky and hasty and..." I was cut short by those two as they choruses, "Hit hard, hit fast, kill swiftly and silently... Pchew Pchew Pchew Pchew ..." chorused the duo as Kayla added the sound effects which made them laugh and loosened the situation.

"Go... Go... Go..." Jane and Kaa cheered on as they were being ushered through the dungeon door and the Quest Master can't help it but patted in their heads as they went in and followed closely by me.

"I won't be too far behind. Since there two of you, one take the left and the other in the right. Watch out for those crates what might be sent flying towards you if these beasts were enraged. You won't want to end up like Ingles or Adam." I advised as the two of them went down the spiral staircase and entered the level 1 dungeon.

"Eewww... What is that? It looked like a black bolster... Ewww... And it's soft... Don't tell me this is poop that I just sank my foot in...? Ewwww....." Kayla grimaced and shrieked as her foot sank into the poop of the giant rat and she looked at me helplessly at her foot that is now being covered with rat poop.

"Uncle Prius mentioned 'Finders Keeper' so this is good for fertiliser, don't you think Daddy... I mean Red Leader? Shall we keep it?" asked Kayla who was looking at me who was leaning against the wall a short distance away.

"You keep it, Kayla..." said Jane "NO... You keep it. I stepped on it and discovered it, so you shall keep it." argued Kayla and they were bickering just as they entered the dungeon. "Haisshh... How long would they keep up like this... They haven't even seen the rats yet and now they are arguing whose going to carry the shit back." I shook my head and better handle the situation before someone gets hurt.

"HEY... HEY... YOU TWO BETTER STOP BICKERING. BOTH OF YOU ARE CARRYING WEAPONS, NOT DOLLIES..." I hollered at them since I've got no choice. I don't want to end up shooting one another. "FORGET ABOUT THAT RAT POOP...LET'S GO..." I hollered once more and this made the two girls continue ahead.

"SSHHRRIIEEKK... Daddy what's that...??!! Is that a rat or a monster...??!!" Kayla once again kicked a fuss and I have to intervene once again. "KILL IT FAST... There's 42 of these and they will get bigger as you progress..." I instructed and Jane is the one that took the initiative to shoot at the big-ass rat first.

"SHOOT... SHOOT... SHOOT... PCHEW PCHEW PCHEW" shrieked Kayla as she shot alternatively with her two crossbows. Soon with the combined effort, the rat fell to its side and disintegrated to the floor...

"Eh...? That's all from the rat? It seems easier than it looks. WHEEE... THIS IS SO MUCH FUN..." Kayla was searching the ground here it disintegrated and found no spoils or anything they could bring back up later.

"Daddy... I mean, Red Leader... Don't these rat drop any spoils, meat or hide?" asked Jane and I replied out of irritance, "If they do drop meat, do you think you want to eat them? They are sure big and their meat surely would be tasteless and tough. Furthermore, less talk more action please."

The levels are easily cleared as instead of one shooting at the beast, 4 bolts were fired simultaneously.

As we cleared the passageway filled with rats queuing up to get killed, we soon reached the end of level 3 and were at the door leading to Level 4. "Be careful girls, Mummy doesn't want you to get hurt in any way, understand..."

"Yes, Daddy... I mean...." Kayla replied as I waved my hand at her. It doesn't matter right now what they had called me as long as they can get out of here safely.

As they entered level 4, they seemed rather shocked to see the size of these rats that had somehow multiplied in size and also were queuing up to be hit one after the other. As the rats shrieked and spat as they ambled forwards the girls, both can't help but shriek back in horror...

"SSHHRRIIEEKK... SSHHRRIIEEKK... SSHHRRIIEEKK..." the shrieking girls somehow stopped the advancing rats as they had never heard such sharp shrieking in their lives before. "SHOOT AND MOVE, SHOOT AND MOVE..." I shouted to them from a distance as they finally realised what was happening and unleashed their bolts and did what was instructed by me. After every 8 bolts, the beast fell to their sides before groaning in despair for not being able to counterattack.

Little did I realised that both girls were closing their eyes as they shoot because the beast before them somehow terrified them out of their wits. They just stood there and hoot their bolts straight as the beast slowly advanced and let itself get hit and fell to their sides.

Even the beast knew how to pity those girls and let them be sacrificed. After 10 of the beasts had fallen to their sides and disintegrated into the ground, the girls who had their eyes closed all the time, kept firing until I told them to stop.

"Haiyoo... How can you call yourself as Ranger-Assassin? Both of you are like scared little kittens you know. Hahahahaha..." I wanted to pat their heads but I withdrew my hand back knowing that it would forfeit their quest.

"Alright Daddy, it's the last level and another 10 of them right?" Jane asked as she was afraid that she might not even last and go through the last level successfully. "Yes, and another 10 more and all of you would have ice cream sandwich after this. I missed mine the other day. We will go after dinner, ok?"

"YEAY... ICE CREAM SANDWICH... What are you waiting for Jane, let's go already..." said Kayla full of determination as she tried to kick down the door down several times and discovered there is a 'PULL' sign on it and she eventually pulls on it. Hahahahaha... One can guess the look on her face... So malu lah...

The moment she saw the saucer-like round red eyes of the beast, Kayla is the one that shouted at it with her squeaky voice, "WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT? LIE DOWN ON YOUR SIDES AND PLAY DEAD..."

"Yeah... Turn around and I can shoot you in the ass..." added Jane and surprisingly the beast happen to understand as it tried to turn its body around and showed its butt with the swishing tail towards the girls instead.

"Uuhh...we have all turned around, just shoot our butts and we would soon be dead anyway..." the beast spoke up and that surprises me but not the two children as they shot the butts of the beast as it howled, twerked its butt a little and fell to its sides.

"Quick, aim for the other butts... We want to finish this and then go for dinner and ice cream sandwich next..." shrieked Kayla as she placed Aimed Shots on the butt and the muscles of the beast sort of rippled when it was struck.

"Is the ice cream sandwich nice to eat or not?" asked one of the beast to Kayla and Jane is the one who answered the beast, "There's Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate. It costs 135 credits and it comes in an 8 litre round tub. It's called Neopolitan ice cream and it's great to eat with soft creamy bread. You should try it sometimes..."

Hahahaha... These beasts knew our human language as they willingly let themselves being hit by the bolts in their butts just like 'pin the donkey's tail' and fell to their sides and died.

"Kids, if you see rats scampering near your feet when you are having the ice cream, don't mind it because that's what we are... Please give a slice or two to share ok?"

"OK, you big ugly rat... Pchew Pchew Pchew... See you later at the town square of the market place near the Beauty World store..." replied Kayla as she shot the last one as it fell to its side and disintegrated into the ground...

"Hah...so much so for level 5 rats. Hehehehe... Time to head upstairs now Daddy... Daddy? Are you alright?" asked Jane as she looked at me who was staring at the beasts and how the children were able to command them. These beasts could even listen to what the children commanded them to do.

When we finally headed upstairs, the two girls were posing the moment they entered with the kitchen and they looked somewhat like power puff girls... With their shrieks of joy and their fists that were pumping in the air as they sashayed around the kitchen.

The adventurers looked at them with awe as they emerged unhurt and seemed rather happy. The word power of ICE CREAM SANDWICH, no one is able to resist the temptation at all.

"Mummy...Daddy is treating us ice cream sandwich later after dinner. Would we be having dinner here since it is so crowded or we head down to the marketplace for dinner?" asked Jane as she peered that there are 12 more adventurers to go and this time without any adult supervision.

Hearing the word dinner made the other Adventurers' stomachs growl and were ushered to the Great Hall instead as we took a break and prepare dinner at home. Home-cooked meals always tasted the best and the rest of the adventurers were invited for dinner as well. It is part of House of Keating's hospitality too.
