Back To the Beginning
The Next Battle Field

Finally, one of the lost royal treasures we found was in the restaurant. This reinforces the notion that true, strange demeanor of Chloe can indicate where the treasure is.

What the kingdom really wants to help us in growing that treasure. But, if they know that Chloe can show them the way, why don't they do it themselves? if they did, it would be faster than us.

After parting ways with my friends at the restaurant with a lot of gratitude for everything for a week longer, we gave up our jobs at the restaurant. Fortunately they understand about your current condition, so it doesn't matter if we leave them as if they were just being used.

Later, I will occasionally return to that place.

We are currently returning to Mr. Wolf's residence to inform him of our current development.

It seemed like he had already been told by someone about our arrival this time, he was already waiting for us in front there.

"Welcome back, boys," he said.

"Oh hey, Mr. Wolf! we finally got what you were looking for!" I said ambiguous to avoid information leakage.

"I know that. I'm sure you can do it. You all must have worked very hard" he replied calmly.

"Then, let's talk more inside. You look exhausted" he continued offering.

The journey inside was quite long, but we felt safe knowing that we were surrounded by many people who were ready to protect and serve us. I won't forget how peaceful everything is here.

"So, can you show me what you got?" ask Mr.Wolf.

"No way" I replied.

"Why do you say that? you're working with me... Noland, can you show it?"

"No, sir. I'm afraid you'll come after him and sell him" replied Noland.

The words made Mr. Wolf laugh.

"I understand" he said.

Mr. Wolf turned his body around and smiled faintly. That smile relaxes us.

"Just in person, where are you going next to search for the lost royal treasure?"

"For the time being, we still didn't know. No sign of Chloe."

Chloe looked at me when she said that because she still didn't know that she was a very important person here.

"So, you finally believe in miracles?"

"So, that's the only way."

"You seem to be starting to hang on to that miracle... That's not good."

"Then do you know where we're going?" ask Noland.

"Of course, I have referrals for you..."

After saying that, Mr. Wolf walked through his room looking for something. Shortly thereafter he came back with a piece of document containing a lot of writing. He gave the document to Noland to answer the question.

"Shortly, I recommend that you go to the North" he said summarizing the contents of the document held by Noland.

"... The north?! isn't that a place of many mountains and... cold?"

"Exactly, is there a problem about that?"

"Ekh... how about... how to get there?"

I hid the fact that I did not like the cold too much.

"About that, it doesn't matter.you can hire a horse carriage to go there."

"Hire? no, sir's gonna pay for it?"

"For what reason did I pay it to those of you who refused to show us the lost treasure" he told us.

"Don't be sad, Mr. Wolf. We'll show it to you when it's all gathered. You can see it!"

Mr. Wolf saw me looking in disbelief.

I had a discussion with Noland and Chloe about Mr. Wolf's idea. We decided to try it out because we trusted Mr. Wolf's information-seeking ability. After all, there must be many royal treasures missing, not just three.

Instead of waiting two years to be recognized by the government, our journey to find lost treasure as a condition, very profitable, let alone have a detector like Chloe.

In this way, a deal has been formed and agreed upon together. Tomorrow morning we will leave for the Northern area of the Breithorn kingdom.

Later tonight we will prepare the necessary items to explore the North area which is famous for its spacious area and green mountains. It's possible that place might remind me a bit of the Alps.

......................

The next morning according to the original plan, we were ready when the Surya would rise soon to give a blessing of light to remove the darkness.

The horse-drawn carriage that would take us to the North was ready in front of Mr. Wolf's masonry.

Although it still looked dark, I, Noland, Chloe, Mr. Wolf, and his subordinates had gathered in front of the mansion gate to deliver our departure towards the North area.

I wore a little thick clothes and my coat that I had hardly worn for a long time, as well as a gray scarf. My preparations for the North area are perfect. I don't want to freeze to death.

I see Chloe and Noland have also prepared their preparations well. Chloe was carrying a thick and cute coat that she bought last night.

Speaking of something, our numbers are still incomplete here. There's someone who hasn't come.

While waiting for his arrival I spent my time well talking a lot with Mr. Wolf to get as much information as possible about the Northern area.

A while later, from a distance appeared a person from the other end. He ran hurriedly while carrying his preparations in his hands. He waved his hand towards us notifying the presence here.

He finally came. Eli.

... It started at the party at that time...

Nick and Eli put their best food on the table with a passionate desire to know who the best chef in this restaurant is.

We were all judges, tasting their food one by one and giving value after comparison.

And result...

Eli lost to Nick. Nick got quite a lot of value far from Eli. I, as an ordinary person in culinary affairs, can say that Nick is still better than Eli. The food has unique and special characteristics, while the food made by Eli looks delicious and delicious, but there is something lacking. I find it hard to explain it in words.

This frustrated Eli.

"It must be because of the ingredients! I was also a little off during cooking!" eli said he didn't want to give up.

"Yes-yes, come on Eli sit here let's party!" said Eva.

"It's a fun game for Eli" said Nick.

Nick and Eli sit down on their chosen chairs and start the party.

"It was a good party before we left" I said.

Eli and Nick suddenly looked at me and put on a surprised face. Jack, Eva, and Foys... They already understand.

"What do you mean by that?"

Answering that question, Noland recounted from the beginning of our journey in the city of Breithorn and finally came here to achieve our goal of finding the lost royal treasure. Noland told it in language that was easy for everyone to understand and with some questions asked by some people, I helped answer.

After Noland finished with his story, suddenly Eli stood up from his seat and hit the table hard, and spoke with vigor.

"That's it! I need experience!"

""Eh?"" Everyone was confused by his words.

"Em...you mean?" eva asked.

"Arthur, Noland, Chloe. Let me take you on your journey!" he said while looking hard at us.

Hearing that sudden request I didn't know what to answer.

"Hey, Else!"

"Sister, Jack! please let me take their journey. Because of this match, I finally realized that I had not progressed at all from before. I need to find a lot of experience to become a better chef,"

"Well, to the extent that Eli used his polite language, he meant it" Foys said.

"You don't have to be the best" Jack said.

"No, I want to."

"ー!"

"How about this, Jack. He won't stop until he's allowed to" Nick said.

"You're responsible, Jack. Because at first you had this match," said Eva.

"Gah!"

"Please, brother Jack," beg Eli.

Gaining pressure and heavy questions simultaneously, Jack takes a lot of time to think about making the best decision.

At one point, Jack raised his head and set his eyes on me who happened to be watching him.

"You guys, do you want to take Eli on your journey?" ask Jack.

So he most likely received a request from Eli.

Hearing the words from Jack, Eli who already knew the results jumped up in excitement.

I looked towards Noland and Chloe to question their opinions. They don't mind.

"Ekm. we don't mind. But"

"Can I count on you to look after Eli?" ask Jack.

"That's the problem, do you think we who look like this can be trusted?"

"Honestly, I see you're more mature than you look. After the many things you go through you must be a unique and special person, and lucky... So, can you count on keeping Eli for a while?" ask Jack again.

I looked beside me to see my friend's opinion. And yeah...

I took a deep breath, and said in one breath.

"Give it to us!"

And that's why Eli came this morning to join you on your next journey. Last night while looking for equipment for our next trip, we went back to the restaurant and gave Eli information about where we were going and when we were going. 'If you're late, I'll leave. So come on time.'

Eli came closer and immediately rested from the exhaustion of running from the restaurant all the way here.

"So this, your new travel buddy. You are so, he must be interesting," said Mr. Wolf observing Eli looking for interesting things from him that can be used and sold.

"Ekm... So, we're leaving now because our plan to get there should be by noon."

"Eh?! I just got some rest" Eli said.

"You can rest in there" said Noland pointing to the horse-drawn carriage.

"Ah, right too."

Eli put his gear on the horse-drawn carriage and boarded it. Me, Noland, and Chloe were riding behind him. We were all in the horse-drawn carriage. Four people is the ideal number in here.

"Then, good-bye, enjoy your journey. I'm waiting for satisfactory results from you guys" said Mr. Wolf.

"Yes! We go first" replied Noland.

""Goodbye everyone, we'll be back again!"" said we were all in the train that was already slowly walking. Waving our hands, this signifies our temporary farewell to this southern area. It's so beautiful.
