Chapter 87.2

(EP-87.2) Club #6

087 – Adventure Club #6

Worried and unsure of Marmar’s scream, Kalira awkwardly added.

“If it’s too small, we can up it to 100,000 coins.”

“1... 100,000 coins...!!!”

Marmar seemed on the verge of going crazy.

“If I have 100,000 coins, that’s 20 cutlets a day.... 500 eggs.... Hehe, I’ll, I’ll be rich. If I hatch the eggs, I’ll have 500 chickens. If 500 chickens lay eggs....”

Seeing Marmar’s condition getting worse, Kalira rummaged through her pockets.

“Is she still hallucinating? I have no more antidote, what should I do?”

“No, it’s okay. She’s just like that.”

“I’m thinking of having her as an assistant. Or maybe at the reception desk since she looks cute. But I’m a little concerned....”

It seemed that Marmar’s actions reduced Kalira’s favorability.

At the end, Marmar’s tail was drooping helplessly, “I don’t like being an assistant either-.”

All in all, managing the relationship between subordinates was definitely more difficult than expected...

“This is the door.”

We went down to the basement with Kalira. Seeing the door, Kalira checked the place and sighed.

“There is a reason the two of you had hallucinations of spiders at the same time. Look there.”

Kalira pointed her finger at the floor in front of the door.

Now that I could see it, there was a rug or carpet in front of the metal door, with a spider embroidered in black thread.

“I sense a magical energy from it. Maybe it’s like a talisman that induces unpleasant visions to unwelcome visitors.”

So this plus hallucinogens combined to create that spider nightmare.

“It’s been abandoned for a long time, but seeing that it still works, despite the weakened state, you can see how good the craftsmanship is.”

“It’s like a spell, right?”

“Indeed.”

As expected, it was some form of magic or spell. My calm thinking skill seemed to be quite adept at deducing such things.

However, we really had to suffer because of this stupid carpet!

“Tsk-.”

It was upsetting. Sweeping away the carpet also revealed a pile of spider husks underneath, which made my frown deeper.

“Ugh-.”

Marmar’s tail began to glow, emitting dazzling light.

Its brightness was like that of the high light beam of the car in the dark. It was almost blinding.

The thing was just really, really bright!

Seeing this, Marmar smirked.

“What do you think? Aren’t I more useful than this redhead?”

“.......”

Kalira didn’t say anything to Marmar’s provocation.

Rather, she smacked her lips at the brightly shining diamond tail.

I was afraid that Kalira might pluck Marmar’s tail off, so I quickly steered the situation away.

“Then shall we all go inside? Remember to watch your steps, everyone.”

And so our group of three went inside the secret room in the basement. The reason why I called this place a ‘room’ was due to the small space.

The first thing I saw was an old pool table, lined with round balls. Kalira grabbed one of them and said.

“It’s made of ivory. Quite expensive as well. I think they’re 500,000 coins each.”

“I saw them first!”

Surprised by this fact, Marmar immediately put the pool balls into her bag.

“It’s a lie, though~.”

“Ugh...! As expected, you’re hateful! You’re one of those nobles, aren’t you? You lot only spout lies!”

“Oh my, do I look like a graceful noble~?”

While Kalira and Marmar were at each other’s throats, using Marmar’s tail as a light source, I slowly looked around this abandoned sealed room.

In addition to the pool table, the room was full of things used for enjoyment and hobbies such as a sofa, an extra bed, and the books lying on the floor....

There was just nothing particularly useful.

Still, I thought there might be something, and urged everyone to continue searching the room together. Then Marmar said as if she had discovered something.

“Comrade, this. You need to see this yourself.”

“Why? Did you find the name Isaiah?”

“No, it’s not the name of Isaiah....”

Seuk.

Marmar held out a small book with a black tan leather cover. On it were the words:

「Adventure Club 5th Activity Report: Theo Gospel and Priga Nightfall.」

Well, I certainly didn’t expect this...
