"Uhhmm... attention please! A few days ago, we received a report from some adventurers"
The adventurers around the guild are start whispering, wondering what it is about.
"Some undead wolves appear in Floir Forest, after subjugating the undead wolves, a different undead appeared day after day. After investigating what happen around the Floir Forest, we discover a tomb. We called it Tomb of the Undead since there is a lot of undead appearing there by night"
Arlan remember what happened a few days ago. He encountered an undead bear, which is quite strange in itself, to add the strangeness, it even appeared during the day.
"With this investigation, we will put a quest to explore this tomb as this tomb might endanger this city or other areas around it. We requested the king to send help, but their current knights are out for mission proximately one week until their arrival. So, within one week, the adventurers can try to explore it or even conquer this tomb. Of course, there will be a reward for the adventurers that explore the tomb and even more for the adventurers that conquer the tomb"
With that, a receptionist stops the announcement and put a quest on [Free-For-All Adventurer]'s quest board. Limit time is 7 days from today's date.
The adventurers around are exciting with this current quest. Although, there's some adventurers that didn't get excite.
"Just undead? What a lowly quest"
"Mere undead... I'm not interested in low level undead"
A few adventurers said those words as they pick other quest on quest board.
For higher rank adventurers, they saw undead as a lowly monster. This way of thinking developed when they can easily 1 slash-kill an undead with their current skill or maybe they never encounter a formidable undead.
But for Arlan, anything that endanger his peacefulness will be taken care of.
"Tomb? What is that, big brother Arlan?"
"Misha doesn't know? Tomb is where the dead reside. It same as graveyard only better"
"Umm... Are we going to that tomb?"
"Why of course, since this tomb endanger the people, and there is a reward too"
"If Arlan take it, I will follow"
"Thank you Musha"
"Misha too!"
"Yes, thank you Misha~"
They as carefree as ever, although it's fine to be carefree, Arlan still think how odd is this tomb to be suddenly appear. He knew there is a tomb near the city, but it was all just ruin, nothing can be found there.
After deciding to take the quest, he asks the girls to make preparation for today and let Kelyn talks to her parent for this mission. While the other making preparation, Arlan visited the Larson's resident to meet Annie.
~In Saya's store, the day they decide to took the quest
"Saya, help us please"
"Hmm? What's wrong girls?"
"Help us prepare for exploring a tomb"
"E-exploring!? Which tomb?"
Musha explained to Saya about their mission.
"Tomb of the dead? Well, as long as you girls with Arlan it's fine... anyway, where is Arlan?"
"He's said he visits aunt Annie's place"
"Why?"
"He didn't tell us"
After understood about their mission, Saya helps their preparation.
~In the other side of city, at Kelyn's place...
"No! I won;t allow it!"
"B-but mother..."
"Although he helped you before, but I still won't allow it!"
"Please mother!"
In Kelyn's house, Kelyn tries to convince her mother to allow her join Arlan's mission. She explained the mission and got rejected since her mission this time is too dangerous for her daughter.
"I still won't allow it! Don't risk your life recklessly!"
"But...."
"This discussion is over! I'm still have some work to do"
Feels rejected, Kelyn left the store and thinking along the way how to tell Arlan about it. Although she could just said her mother won't allow it, but to think she utters that excuse after being adventurer, she can't say it.
She valued Arlan and the girls as her important companion. She taught magic by Arlan but she can't come along with him in this quest is something unacceptable for herself as an adventurer.
But at the same time, she couldn't go against her mother's will.
"What should I do now..."
Tomorrow morning, after making preparation for a whole day, Musha and Misha are ready for their first exploration mission. Arlan warned them about the danger that they might encounter and also checks their bag. After confirming the content inside the bags, he put their bags in his [Infinite Storage].
On their way to the adventurer guild, Arlan and the girls met Kelyn with her gloomy face. Arlan wonders what happened so he greets her immediately.
Kelyn surprised with his greeting and after she calmed herself, she starts to explain what happened.
"Is that so? Well, it's understandable, your mother just worried about you. It's fine, we can take other quest later after this exploration"
"Thank you, Arlan...."
"Yes, it's fine, big sister Kelyn. We'll be fine, so please wait for us to come back"
Misha tried to ease Kelyn's worry with her cheerful smile.
