Suddely Became A Child's
The Eps 38
A pair of golden neutrals moved to the right and to the left, watching the surroundings.
Croft who was inside the bushes heaved a sigh of relief, knowing the red bee monster was no longer chasing him.
~ "Joy don't understand, why are we hiding?"
Croft turned his head, he looked at Joy's face filled with confusion.
[Of course to escape. ]
Joy frowned.
~ "Why should we escape? Joy can fight them."
Joy comes out of hiding, with a beehive nearby.
Croft sighed. He flew out after Joy.
[I know you're strong, but we better avoid a fight. ]
[Our goal here is to find treasure, not to fight. ]
Croft tried to explain their original purpose of coming to this forest. He had not even finished filling his hunt to 100.
~ "Joy is also looking for treasure."
~ "See! This is Joy's treasure. Joy found it on the tree."
Joy hugged the beehive with a fluffy smile.
[It's not a treasure. ]
Wherever it is, it is still a beehive, not gold, jewels, or diamonds.
Joy.
~ "It's a treasure! And this can be eaten."
Joy thrust her tiny hand into the beehive, then pulled it back. A brownish-yellow liquid filled his tiny palm.
~ "See!"
Joy licked her palm which contained a thick yellow-brown liquid.
~ "Hhmmm! Tastes sweet! Joy likes it."
Croft put on a flat face. It seems like he took Joy wrong, why did he take the diner out to hunt for gold?
[ Ah whatever. ]
Croft's eyes looked at the sky that was starting to turn golden red.
[Let's go back, it's late afternoon. ]
~ "Good."
Croft waved his hand, and the beehive disappeared. Then, she holds Joy's hand to teleport to Rein's location.

[Master, what happened to you? ]
Croft and Joy appear at Rein's location.
Here, there are many fallen trees. A huge black monster that had many wounds, and its corpse was scattered around Rein's body.
Croft looked at Rein's messy appearance, there were blood spots, crumpled clothes, disheveled hair, and was lying down with breathless breathing.
"Pu .. lang."
Rein painstakingly said the word home. He felt satisfied to have vented his anger, even though now his hand was in pain. And he was exhausted, and he wanted to take a shower and sleep well.
~ "Cutie pie, are they all the ones who hurt you?"
Joy looked at the corpse of the black monster with a sharp gaze.
[Joy, you better find Moku. ]
~ "But-"
~ Myuu!
Moku walked gracefully closer to Rein who was sleeping.
Croft dropping his jaw saw Moku's extremely dirty appearance filled with mud.
Moku, the monster who always put his appearance first comes with all the mud covering his body.
~ "Look, it's Moku."
[Moku, what happened to you? ]
Croft asked carefully.
"Back home!"
Rein's voice sounded annoyed. He stared hard at Croft who still had time to ask, when he already wanted to go home. Then collapse.
Croft took a long breath.
[All right, we're going home now. ]
A golden light enveloped their entire bodies, until they disappeared from the location.
A group of red-clothed knights came to the location spot.
A man leading the group noticed the surrounding area that contained a large number of black monster corpses, which always caused trouble in the area.
"All these monsters are dead, Chief."
A man who examined the body of the black monster came, to tell the result of his assessment.
The man leading the group frowned. He did not understand what happened just a moment ago.
The small group of knights came from different directions.
"Reporting chairman, the central area of the forest is burning down. Just black dust in there."
"We also found traces of the fight from the area."
"Reporting chairman, we found some holes in the deepest area of the forest."
"And that's 99 holes."
The man leading the group let out a long sigh.
"Is this caused by another monster?"
Silent.
There was no response from his subordinates.
"Chairman! Knight order group four attacked by red bee monster!"
Pri who was leading put on a serious face.
"Moving fast!"
"Good Chairman."

Curran frowned looking at the appearance of the four creatures in front of him that looked extremely messy.
Rein had blood on his clothes. Messy hair, dirty hands, tousled clothes, feet full of dirt.
Moku, his fur wet, there was mud around his body.
Croft, his hair was messy, his clothes were full of dirt, even his hands were dirtiest and full of dirt.
Joy, her clothes were tangled, her hair disheveled, there was a brownish yellow liquid on her hands and face.
"What happened to you guys?"
Rein, Moku, Croft, and Joy lowered their heads. Dare to look at Curran's gaze.
Silent.
No one answered the question Curran asked.
Curran let out a long breath.
"Clean yourself."
Rein immediately ran towards the bathroom, followed by Moku at the back, Croft and Joy hovering nearby.
Curran brushed his hair back.
"Is this how you feel?"
Curran recalled the memory of when he first fought monsters in the Crimson region, he also came home dirty.
That was why he did not dare to comment seeing Rein who came home dirty.
Curran frowned.
"Rein can't fight monsters, right?"
Back then, he fought monsters at the age of 13. Rein is 8 years old. So, there was no way he was reckless against monsters.
"Maybe they've been playing together."
Curran confirmed the answer.
Children are still children.

In the evening, Rosaly came to Gilbert's study with some files in her hands.
Tok to tok.
"Lake in."
Rosaly opened the door, and entered the room.
Gilbert took off the glasses from his face.
"What's wrong?"
"I got a report from the Southern Crimson Camp knight."
Rosaly gave Gilbert the file, he put it on Gilbert's desk.
Gilbert sighed. He took the file given by his daughter. Then put the glasses back on his face. Then read the file carefully.
"According to reports, the Godzilla monster that frequently destroyed the area, was killed in the area it came from."
Rosaly explained, as Gilbert read the details of the report from the file.
"The middle region of the forest, the area of the mad dog monster burned to the ground until only black ash was left."
"The deepest area of the forest, there are a lot of holes there. Like something digs it, and there's 99 of those holes."
"And, the red bee monster went wild until it came out of the area where it came from. Some knights were wounded, but the monster was exterminated."
"According to reports, it was caused by other powerful monsters, until there was a fight between the two. However, they still did not have any solid evidence to recognize the monster."
Rosaly ended her speech. He felt uneasy, when indeed a new, more powerful monster appeared. That would be something serious.
Gilbert closed the file. Then removing the glasses from her face, she scowled her dizzy temples.
"Send additional knights to evaluate the location, and conduct a thorough investigation."
"Good Dad."
