Chapter 55: Expedition II

Meanwhile, Riku and Emma safely reached the Assima forest before the sun totally came up and damaged him little by little. Around them, was the usual view that you could see in the forest, it was flooded by the trees, bushes, flowers, and large mushrooms that looked new for his eyes. To describe it, it was three meters in height and had a rough violet texture.

By just looking at this mushroom, he could easily tell that it was a poisonous mushroom. Yet, this wasn't their main reason why they went to this forest.

"Riku, this is the Assima forest. Now tell me, where do you think we can find the materials you needed for your invention." Emma asked her nonchalantly as she didn't sense any harmful existence in this forest. Or to be exact, all the things for her were just ordinary.

He gradually kneaded his chin, thinking the first material they needed to build the pipeline. Yes! It was iron and had a chemical symbol of Fe. Iron usually can be found in the Earth's crust, however, the world where he was standing right now was vastly different. Why? Because the iron here only can be found inside the cave and also near the wet surface.

Moreover, based on the book he had been read and with its provided image, he was certain that was the IRON. Aside from that, the iron in this world was called Ferric the other for the iron. Also, the forest was the number one place where you could find different resources, and discoveries.

But the main problem here, he was talking about the cave so he can't stop thinking that there was a tough monster guarding that place.

"We've no choice, Emma. We needed to find a cave here the place where the ferric can be found." He muttered, then started to walk even though he doesn't have lead where he could find the cave.

It appeared Emma understood what was the ferric words as she nodded her head a bit, then eventually followed him in this straight path.

"Ferric, huh, the solid rounded thing..." Emma responded as she had an idea what was the ferric looked like.

As expected by Riku from her, the adventurers in this world were sure to have a lot of information. They weren't just raiding a certain place without clues. He smiled while his eyes were strolling around, in order to prevent, the monster's sneak attack.

After a few were moments. The sun came up and helped them to brighten the entire place to perfectly see the surroundings.

"In several weeks we've met, Riku, I just got notice that you don't want to get hit by the sunlight?" She confronted him politely.

'Eh? She's still even noticing it? How sharp is this woman's instinct?' He uttered to his mind, but he had no intention to reveal his weakness to anyone in this world. Why? If he did that, he was already digging a grave for him.

To be more simple, once they know the sunlight could kill him everything would be easy for them even though they see him as a strong person since they thought he had transformation magic.

Of course, he just smiled at him and admitted that he doesn't like the sun. "Yes, I didn't like the sun because I'm protecting my skin."

His reason made Emma unexpectedly laugh out loud, also the main reason why they stopped under the twenty feet tall tree. "Hahaha! Are you kidding me, Riku! Protecting skin your skin, what a joke!"

Bam!

Emma slapped her back as she couldn't express her emotion by just laughing. Yes, the woman was always wanted to hurt a man every time they were felt extreme happiness.

It pushed him and felt a bit of pain, realizing that this woman had a heavy hand. "Ouch! Emma! Why do you do that? Also, what is bad for protecting my skin, huh?"

"No offense, Riku, but don't you ever try to see your body in the mirror. It was full of scars and even you hide it by wearing multiple clothes, those scars remained in your body." Emma said in a deep tone, then walked towards him, planning to remove the white blanket rolled on his face. "Let me, help you to remove that-"

Slap!

She couldn't complete her words after Riku mildly slapped her hand and sent it to the air. "Don't remove it, Emma, if you don't want to have a problem." He said in a serious tone and wasn't aware that his eyes were glaring at Emma.

She gulped with sweaty hands, knowing Riku wasn't joking at her anymore. The first thing she did was step back for a couple of meters, and eventually deeply bowed her head. "I'm sorry, Riku, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just want you to be free from your scars and show who is the true man."

And all of a sudden, he was blinking eyes in confusion, and the last thing he remembered was just Emma was laughing at his reason. So at this point, he was wondering why was Emma bowing her head came along with pity eyes. 

"Eh? Eh? Eh? What are you doing there, Emma? Come over here." Riku responded as he really didn't recall the scene how Emma reached the seven meters distance away from him.

"Are you forgiving me now, Riku?" She cheerfully said, noticing Riku's eyes went back into a calm one.

"Forgiving from what? I don't know what are you saying, but we need to keep moving so we can back in the Arzotoc village before the sun went down." He said, then continued his walk to the straight path where the only things you could see around him were the lively flowers and dark green bushes, and the dazzling light of the sun in front of him.

At this point, Emma hadn't had care as long as Riku was fine with her. "Yes, Riku, we are going to find the ferric."

The thing he didn't know was, that the color of his eyes suddenly changed into a terrifying one. Or easy to say, that were the eyes of the dark crow trying to take over this body.

They strolled in the Assima forest lasted for thirty minutes after they saw the entrance of one of the caves that existed in this place. Furthermore, just like what he expected the monsters here weren't active, yet, the story would become different once they enter this cave. Why? It was because the sunlight wasn't penetrating inside the cave, which means most of the monsters were inhabited here.

"It seems you are well aware of what will happen to us once we enter this cave, isn't it?" He confronted her, just to make sure that no one would happen to them here, no one would blame him.

She nodded her head at him without making any second thought, well savvies with the circumstance they would face here. "Of course, Riku, an adventurer always ready to die. Also, if I die here that's my fate no one ever could change that." She replied, then started to walk first so that she can check the place. But for some reason, her body was suddenly stopped as Riku was tugging her clothes. "What are you doing-?"

And once again, she could not complete her words after Riku gently patted her head and made her blush. "None of us would die here, just avoid any reckless reaction. Aside from that, if I see the situation is getting worse I'll never hesitate to use my wings to leave this place."

Of course, if this expedition happened in his world, no doubt Riku Hirota was the raid party leader since he was the one who decided on this expedition even though Emma was way stronger than him. As a raid party leader, his main job here was to make a wise plan that would the other members from dying.

"I know that Riku, I'm just trying to say here even I die I had no intention to blame you." She responded, then took out the black knife that was positioned on the side of her waist. To ready herself for the unexpected attack that might occur.

Riku nodded his head but decided both of them would enter this place at once. Or easy to say, by doing this they can protect each other.

LET'S GO!

They said at once and moved their legs to enter the cave. In front of them, of course, was a dark place, but still, there was some light-producing inside able them to glance all over the place. Moreover, the cave was way huge, which means monsters were possible to be here.

To describe it, this place was twelve meters in height and seventeen in width, it was large enough to make them freely move around.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

The sound of their feet hitting the surface perceived by their ears until... Rapid footsteps echoed throughout the place as the monster seemed to discover their existence in this cave.

Clang!

And all of a sudden, Emma jumped into the air and blocked the attack of the monster attacking them.

"What the hell? Dark Gra--"
