3 days after they received the quest from the kingdom and Guild Master to hunt Earth Stomper, they have moved to their house, The Hunter, Claudia, and Astrid use 1 room alone while Meina and Neina will use 1 room together because they are both sisters. After that Meina called everyone in the living room where they can relax on chairs and sofas, and as desired the living room has a kitchen.
"Mou... Why were you so selfish yesterday, because of your actions, I, Neina, Claudia and Astrid became Hedrick's bet now. Did you forget that Neina doesn't want anyone else but you to do that?"
"No... that's why I won't make him to take you all"
"Huh... big talk, then... what's your plan?"
"Maybe I will invite peopel from Academy since The Archer don't want to help me"
"Academy? Who"
"One of the Professor I know will help me... maybe"
Since Hunter doubted if the professor wanted to help him in his quest, he came directly to the Academy with Astrid and Claudia, he even begged the professor he met before to help him but he couldn't help him because he was busy, even the professor said he wanted to get extra results from the rifle he had during the hunt later. After the professor he knew couldn't help him he asked for help from Horu but he couldn't help either because the Academy still hadn't given him permission to adventure.
"Shit... nobody will help us..."
"Luck is not on your side" Astrid said it
"Then, what should I do, if only 5 people it that enough to celar this quest"
"I don't know..."
Three of them return to their home. The Hunter got scolded with Meina because this is his idea to make their lives are on the deadline.
.
One day before their travel, the Adventurer's Guild came to their residence and announced that their hunting supplies had arrived. They all went to the Adventurer's Department. They were very well-stocked, and it was said that the journey would take two weeks, and it was already mid-year and the weather was already hot. They were even provided with supplies in the form of a horse-drawn carriage.
"Wohoo... to much supply for 1.5 month, even they gave us an horse carriage"
"He even provided a spare tent and spare weapons"
"I think the cart is for carrying the crystal stones and monster heads that we will bring later"
"I see"
However, there was a commotion from the Adventurer Department lobby, they were all crowded because someone had come from the kingdom. The Hunter was curious and asked the receptionist when she signed their documents, the receptionist said that the person from the kingdom had come along with their supplies, and they would also join their quest because it was also help from the kingdom, Hunter's hopes rose considering that no one else could help him anymore.
"An helper from kingdom, thank's god"
"At the end The King send us, right?"
"Yeah, last time I was hopeless but now I gain my hope back again"
Hunter was curious about the person who wanted to help him, he interrupted the crowd and he saw 2 beautiful black-haired women in witch-like clothes without their hat like Astrid who wear her witch-hat, gray and white dress and they were carrying their magic staffs, it could be said that they were both magic casters.
"Wow, both of them are very beautiful"
"they're come from University from Kingdom, right?"
"Yeah, and both of them have their title, right?"
"The Blizzard Frost and The Blazing Flame"
Hunter was surprised why so many Adventurers admired them both so much, then the two people looked at Hunter and stood up to approach him.
"Are you Mr. Hunter?"
"Me? yes, I'm Hunter, is the Your Majesty already inform you?"
"Yes, Your Majesty appointing us to help you guys in facing Earth Stomper"
"What!"
"Earth Stomper!"
The Adventurers felt goosebumps when they found out that they would be hunting the Earth Stomper.
"Yes, we're going hunting Earth Stomper, I know this is crucial quest, but hey.... that monster didn't near us, you know?"
"Yeah we know, but you will get killed easily when facing them"
Uneasy with the gossip around him, The Hunter took the two people from the Kingdom to the reception to get away from the crowd. When everything was ready, The Hunter offered them a short stay before they set off on their quest.
"Here is better, right?"
"Thank you"
"Before we're travel, you better take a rest at my house, don't worry, there's an 1 man and 4 woman"
"Hi, I'm Meina and this is my sister, Neina. And we're with him"
"Nice to meet you, Neina-Meina. My apologized we didn't introduce ourselves, I'm Vrelistha Mayumi and this is my younger sister Vrelistha Miyuki"
"Nice to meet you"
"Uh... finally you have similar friend here, Meina"
"Maybe, however me and Neina is twins but they're like have quite a big age difference"
"True, Miyuki is 3 younger than me"
Vrelistha Miyuki, her appearance is very beautiful, semi-long black hair with flower accessories on the left, smooth white skin with blue eyes, her healthy slim body makes a very strong attraction for men, Vrelistha Mayumi is also no less beautiful than her younger sister, has hair that is slightly longer than Miyuki and is black, there is a ribbon tied at the back of her head, slightly taller than Miyuki and her body is also equally beautiful as Miyuki, her red eyes are very beautiful like crimson.
"Okay, now better we're go home before we go travel tomorrow"
"Hey Lady!" The Hunter calling the receptionist
"Yes!?"
"Isn't there anything else we need to accept? If not, we'll go home first. Please tell the Guild Master about this"
"Of course, and there's nothing else you need to bring it"
"Alright, then let's go home"
The Hunter with Meina and Neina and also 2 assistances from the Kingdom went from the Adventurer Department bringing supplies from the kingdom and a horse-drawn carriage which was sent to their residence. Then, one of the other receptionists called the receptionist who served The Hunter.
"Hey Alice, have you asking that 2 persons to show their letter about helping from The King?"
"Senior! Ah, yes I've done ask them but they just said The King immediately rely on them and The King didn't gave any letter for us"
"Suspicious, It should be a common regulation, especially since the King asked them to help them. It's strange that the King didn't show any proof that they were willing to help"
"Oh, that's right"
.
The Hunter, Meina, Neina, and 2 new people Miyuki and Mayumi arrived at the Hunter's residence, Hunter asked them to bring all the items sent inside while the horse and cart for transporting the goods would be temporarily left at the ranch where he left the horse and cart he had, when all the items had been put in, The Hunter had to leave the horse and carriage at the ranch.
"Alright, now I must bring this horse to the ranch"
"Okay"
"Miss Vrelistha, please go inside and choose you room to take a rest"
"I understand" Mayumi thanks him
The Hunter going to bring the horse to the ranch. Neina let Miyuki and Mayumi choose their own room, after some time The Hunter had returned, and he told everyone to gather in the living room.
"Okay everyone, please gather here"
Everyone gather to the living room include Mayumi and Miyuki.
"Alright, tomorrow we will travel to hunt Earth Stomper, and we've got a new companion here, please..."
Hunter asks Miyuki and Mayumi to introduce themselves to the other hunters.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Vrelistha Miyuki, I'm 3 years younger than my older sister, and people usually call me The Blizzard Frost, you can call me Miyuki"
"Wohoho" clap clap clap clap
"Now then... uhmm... my name is Vrelistha Mayumi, and I am the older sister of Miyuki, also people known me as The Blazing Flame, and please call me Mayumi"
"Wohoho" clap clap clap clap
Everyone clapping for welcoming them.
"Claudia, do you have an idea who will take care our house when we went travel?"
"I have asked for help from Baron Bafortha, or rather the maids I know to take care of our house, don't worry they can fight"
"Good. And Astrid, how long we travel to the destination?"
"Maybe... 10 days, the bad thing is, their habitat location is also a bit close to the city there"
"Damn, that was the worst, we should make sure they won't come closer with the city"
Mayumi raise her hand.
"Mr. Hunter, may I ask"
"Yeah sure"
"Once we meet our target, how are you going to take down one of the Earth Stompers without leaving the rest of their friend won't bothering?"
"Good questing, any reference is that monster can make them sleep?"
"NO" all of them answer together
"Why do you ask that?" Mayumi asked
"In my experience, when I was going to hunt large animals, I couldn't face them directly, so I had to paralyze them as much as possible first and make them helpless, besides, Earth Stomper had very hard skin and was resistant to any magical element attacks. And I also didn't know how big the monster was"
"Interesting"
"Then, are you have any idea, Neina?"
"I don't know but... did a kingdom have or prepare us an bomb?"
"Bomb?"
"Yes, if we do, we can try to explode them with that"
"Unfortunately, the kingdom didn't supply us that"
"I see"
...
"Astrid, is there any place who sold black powder?"
"Black powder? what's that?"
Astrid doesn't know about black powder, Mayumi who knows about black powder explains to her, after that Mayumi says that she can make raw black powder, but that can already help The Hunter, Hunter says to gather all the ingredients he needs to help make black powder, Mayumi goes to buy ingredients with Miyuki, while Hunter prepares some of his crafting equipment in the basement.
Claudia and Astrid also helped prepare other items needed by Hunter, Meina and Neina also wanted to help Mayumi and Miyuki in purchasing ingredients. After an hour, Mayumi and Miyuki returned with the needed ingredients, as did Meina and Neina. Hunter asked Mayumi and Miyuki to help him in making black powder, while Neina and the others were asked to leave it alone for now.
"Alright, Mayumi and Miyuki, please help me. And he other, please don't disturb me, okay"
"Understood" both of them
"Sigh... okay" Meina nodded
Then The Hunter, Mayumi and Miyuki go down to the basement.
"Then, what should we do now?"
"Maybe we can prepare a dinner"
"Make sense"
"Well then, I will prepare the bathroom now, Astrid"
"Okay"
Meina and Neina prepare the dinner instead Claudia and Astrid prepare the water for bath.
.
It was already night, Hunter had prepared the things he needed with black powder, they came out of the basement with their bodies and clothes full of black stains.
"Fuuhh... finally done"
"You're full of black stain, go get to clean yourself quickly" Meina shouted
"Okay-okay, but not only me who dirty here"
Hunter look at Mayumi and Miyuki.
"Better both of you go to take a bath first"
"Are you sure? Surely the homemaster who will take first"
"No, woman should go first, so..."
"... Thank you, Miyuki, come"
Mayumi and Miyuki return to their room to take clothes, The Hunter return to basement so he won't make the living room got dirty and tell Meina to tell him if they're done he must take the bath quickly.
