Eriri opened her heart and moved on from the past. This was worth celebrating.
As for what she said next, Sayuri was indeed embarrassed at first, but who was she?
She could also be shameless, right?
Besides, Kaito was attractive. Even if her daughter disagreed, she would still pursue him!
And so, Eriri's matter was resolved. Afterwards, Sayuri really couldn't stay here any longer and had to take Eriri and leave.
Before leaving, Eriri didn't forget to thank Kaito repeatedly. She winked at Kaito and silently mouthed the words, 'Go for it, I'll help you', before leaving the rock house.
"Ahem, Aki Tomoya, you'd better find another artist in the future."
After inexplicably saying this, Kaito lay down to rest. But he had barely lain down when Sayuri returned.
"Kaito, let's go. The sun is covered by clouds. Everyone is looking forward to finding the treasure."
"..."
'Oh dear, I just lay down?'
"Alright, I understand."
Regarding finding treasure – Kaito was also interested.
He got up, walked out, and stretched. Seeing everyone actively discussing the upcoming treasure on the beach, it was obvious they had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Alright, let's go! I looked at the map. Following the path where I found the stream, we just need to go further up from the stream."
If the fine lines on the treasure map represented the previous stream, then Kaito's idea was correct.
Again carrying their suitcases, everyone arrived at the stream's location.
Entering the forest, they walked along the stream.
After walking for about 2 hours, Kaito roughly determined the location according to the map and then continued to the right.
Looking at an obvious small slope ahead and comparing it to the small circle representing a small height on the map, Kaito concluded the result, smiled, and put away the map.
"Alright, next we head towards the right rear."
Standing on the slope, he turned half a circle, aligned the position, and pointed to the right rear.
The treasure was hidden ahead.
There was no difficulty, but whether there was danger was another matter.
Perhaps the wild boar and giant python were nearby?
It was normal to encounter danger while searching for treasure, right?
"Ah!!! Snake snake snake snake snake snake!!!!"
Tearju, walking behind leading Eve, suddenly heard a rustling sound as she followed the others for a distance.
When she subconsciously turned to look, she found a giant python emerging from the grass.
Moreover, the giant python was also startled by Tearju and involuntarily retracted its body a bit, just as it was about to lunge forward.
"Snake? Be careful!!"
The people ahead heard Tearju's scream and turned around to protect her. Misuzu, walking even further behind Tearju, had already positioned herself in front of Tearju and manipulated her electromagnetism to throw the axe.
But unfortunately!
This giant python wasn't as clumsy as she imagined. Instead, it was very agile, moving in an S-shaped pattern to dodge the attack, then suddenly raised its head and was about to bite Tearju!
Perhaps this snake had its eyes on Tearju from the beginning. With its size, it could swallow someone as large as Tearju.
This giant python was truly huge! Its body diameter alone reached 30 centimeters, and its length was at least nearly twenty meters!
"I imagined the giant python to be big, but I didn't expect it to be this big."
In fact, when Tearju screamed, Kaito had already rushed over faster than anyone else and was already behind the giant python, grabbing its tail.
Just as Tearju was about to be devoured by the giant python, he gave a gentle tug. The giant python was forcibly pulled back, thudding against the ground twice, and looked up blankly towards its rear.
"Sssss—!!"
Out of anger, the giant python opened its mouth to threaten and also shifted its target to Kaito.
But Kaito wasn't afraid. Instead, he continued to hold the python with both hands and forcefully swung it around.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——!!!
The scene was like Hulk smashing Loki.
The giant python, held by its tail, was crazily smashed all around.
The scene was bloody, but very satisfying!
After smashing the python half to death, Kaito generated a rock spear and stabbed it through the head.
—Ding
[Completed individual task: Kill the ferocious giant python on the island. You obtained 200 points!]
Hmm, the task was easily completed!
Unfortunately, each person only had one chance.
Plus, there were only three of these giant pythons. It would depend on how the remaining two were allocated.
"Tearju, are you okay?"
"Wuwuwu┭┮﹏┭┮"
Well, it seemed she was still in the stage of lingering fear.
"I'm fine now. I was just suddenly scared. Let's continue!"
After a while, comforted by Misuzu and the others, Tearju gradually recovered. Everyone set off on the treasure hunt again.
As the saying goes, there are dangers along the way to finding treasure.
Encountering the first giant python could be considered an accident. But encountering the second giant python meant the treasure was near, and the direction they were taking was correct.
However, this time, before Kaito could act, this giant python was electrocuted to death by a startled Mikoto.
Yes.
It was electrocuted.
This python was half the size of the previous one, so its target was Mikoto.
But why did among all these people, it had to provoke Mikoto?
Now look! It was electrocuted and giving off a fragrant smell, almost making people drool.
If she had a coin in her hand, she would have blasted this guy away!
The third giant python appeared~
Just after walking a bit further, this time it was Nana who spotted it.
She was very sensitive to animals. Actually, she had noticed the previous two as well, but they were too far away for her to warn in time before Tearju and Mikoto saw them first.
As for this python's fate, Momo used her ability to control plants, binding it. At the same time, Nana commanded it to be still. Finally, Sephie easily killed it using her magical abilities.
Ah, yes. Sephie could also use magic!
But it was a bit different from Irisviel's Magecraft.
"Good, then only the wild boar remains."
All three giant pythons were dead, so indeed, only the wild boar was left.
However, strangely, when Kaito arrived at the designated spot and was about to dig up the treasure, the wild boar still hadn't appeared.
'Was the wild boar giving up? Idling?'
Or had it gone out hunting?
"Let's ignore the wild boar for now. I'll get the treasure chest out first."
He touched the ground, connected with the earth, and probed for any abnormalities in the soil.
"Found it."
Rumble rumble rumble...
The treasure chest was wrapped in rock and slowly pushed out of the ground. When it emerged, a common treasure chest appeared before everyone.
"Let me open it, let me open it~"
Lala came closer. Seeing the treasure chest, her eyes sparkled. She rushed excitedly to the front of the chest, lifted the lid with both hands.
The radiance of golden legends – gold coins, gold ornaments, etc.!
It didn't have that.
"Huh?"
Lala's eyes became vacant.
