Chapter 58: Death March

The high pitch sound of water that was hitting the solid surface was the only sound they could hear as they were getting closer and closer to the endpoint. It seemed both of them knew it was the source of water that was flowing in their hands and feet.

As soon as they have reached the place, Riku was literally shocked as it was the first he could see a beautiful place like this. That he never expected it was also possible in the real life.

Falls: it was the right term for how you describe the mild water that was coming from above and gently hitting the marble surface, which made the water splashes all over the place.

Yet, for some reason, the sunlight was entering the small hole above them and shining the calm blue water around them. And again, for this place was just an ordinary place for her as she seemed often to see a such beautiful like this. But for Riku, it was a magical cave that he never anticipated that he'll be given a chance to see this scenery.

"Woah... This is amazing! The glittering white lights coming from the magical crystal added to make this place more beautiful. Also, it no doubts that this is the first time I went to this kind of place." He admitted on Earth it was impossible to see a place like this because of the endless battle between the mutant and monster that came from the high-level dungeon.

He was astonished at the soothing place that this magical had. It erased the thoughts that there were perilous monsters that existed in this place.

He took a deep breath then let it out softly just to enjoy the sensation. To begin with, even Emma and Riku's boots were soaked by the water, still, they were started to stroll around and collect the ferric that you could find beside the water surface.

In his mind, collecting ferric became an easier job for them and let him feel there was something wrong with this expedition. While walking, he paused for a second, thinking about what he missed in this expedition.

'Just to think of it. We succeeded to reach the Assima forest without fighting a single monster, I give my appreciation for my [Fly] skill. It helped us to avoid the monsters, but the thing here is, even I must not make myself anxious, still, I can't do that for some reason. Or easy to say, I think I've missed something.' He uttered to his mind, then eventually stopped as Emma was looking at him, at the same time, calling his name.

"Why you are just standing there, Riku? Come on help me to take these ferric and we can safely leave this place." Emma nonchalantly said, but you could still notice that she kept watching her surroundings. In order to avoid the unexpected attack that might occur.

Her words helped him to stop wondering and saying to himself to would not overthink, sometimes the other things just happened smoothly. He smiled at her, then waved his hand. "Sorry, Emma, I just space out. Let me help with that."

Meanwhile, he was standing next to Emma while in front of him was the rounded metallic that had the same outward appearance as the marble stone. So by just looking at it, he knew the ferric was so heavy.

"Emma, how do we get to carry this thing? We need plenty of it since I'm going to build thirty-three or thirty-four long pipelines to reach the western section of the Arzotoc village." He explained to her, to have an idea of how much ferric they needed to build the pipeline.

"Don't worry about it, Riku. Magic can do anything, of course, you're going to question me about the weight, isn't it? My pouch can turn the heavy thing into a weightless one." She confidently said.

All the problems inside his head vanished in just the blink of an eye. Luckily, that he chose this woman to be part of this expedition because of the information she can provide and also reliable person.

Two of them was started to take the ferric that scattered all over the place and put it inside the magical brown pouch. This job here lasted about 30 minutes and the accumulated ferric they were able to get was over a hundred, but still, Riku couldn't see that this pouch was going to be full.

"What is the maximum capacity of this pouch, Emma?" Riku said while seizing the metallic stones mounted on the marble surface.

"Hahaha! Just put it inside how many do you want, Riku because this pouch had an infinite capacity." She answered back, then started to slowly lower her guard as she couldn't sense the monster's magical aura in this place.

Yes! This pouch was quite useful since you could effortlessly move to another house and bring your stuff by just using it. This was how the invention in this world?

...

Alas, two of them finished collecting the metallic stones they needed for the pipeline, and now his first invention would be built soon. Also, to form it to become a pipeline, they needed a strong fire to melt this material, at the same time, a structure that could make the long rounded thing.

"Phew! We're done here, Emma, thanks for coming with me!" He said while wiping the sweat that formed on his temples.

"It's my pleasure to help you, Riku." She responded before adding. "Once we come back to the village, can we out something? I'm totally hungry and this is my way to recover my strength." She said with a straight face, doesn't care even she was talking with this handsome guy.

He was blinking his eyes in confusion as Emma was always acting like a tough woman but turned into a different one once the night came up. She was just simply afraid when the night came up? Or she was hiding something inside her.

Yet, that expression was easily faded away as he must reply something to Emma. "Of course, Emma, I've permission to get someone food whatever I want in the Arzotoc village. Also, we can back there for more or less one hour, do you think you can still handle it?"

She nodded her head, "Of course, I don't have an intention to eat in this place." She responded then washed away all the water that soaked her.

"If that's the case, let's keep moving so we can eat together as the reward. Sorry, I don't have a penny right now so I could not give you some." He said along with an uncomfortable smile on his face.

But Emma's reaction surprised him. "Really?! Are you going to eat with me?!" She said in an excited tone.

"Yes, Emma, I am happy to do that!" He was thinking of it, in his opinion, it never happens both of them officially eat together. Although they stayed in the mystic forest for several days, Riku back then was eating alone.

Emma didn't respond to his words just a broad smile you could see on her face.

Two of them were starting to leave the place, Emma was the one who was holding the magical pouch since she was the one who could perfectly control her mana. Emma and Riku were positioned again in the hole where they entered before.

"Emma, at this point, I'm the one who'll enter first." He explained that Emma was carrying the materials so he must the one who'll protect her right now. But for Riku, that was a big lie, he was just avoiding seeing her panty again, and as it came to his mind to poke it even once.

Emma now agreed to his decision as long as they could back to the village immediately. Since she was eager to eat with this man. "No worries, Riku, just enter now and watch if there's a monster in front of us-"

Boom!

A strong explosion transpired in the place something closer to them. Or to be exact, a monster used a strong magical power in this tunnel and burned everything also stop them from leaving this place. Aside from that, multiple footsteps of huge monsters could be heard in this cave.

If his intuition was right. The monsters were heading now in their location and of course to kill the two people who entered their habitat. Also, the one he was missing and the thing that bothered him was the notification that would appear on the screen in front of him.
