"Get off from there and help me"
She took the thunder scroll's vine and proceeded to approach my pathetic state hurriedly. She then paused in front of me for a while until she started her lecture
"Oh for fuck sake! You ruined the cloak! It took an exact three hours thirty-five minutes and four seconds to make it!! And how the hell it pierced that cloak in the first place!? ... Well, at least the shield is working as it's intended"
She is worried about the cloak more than my porcelain pale expression currently endured an intense pain of my broken ribs and a literal hole on my goddamn chest. I can feel the wind blew in and out. What a weird experience ...
"What is the use of protection if it doesn't protect me? but enough of that. lent me a hand will ya?"
"Sadly, I have a quarter of brain damage and there is no way I wanted to strain my fragile muscles in this kind of state"
"Bullshit, that is a lousy excuse for a person who climbed a ten-meter in height steel centipede"
She shrugged "I will allow your scrupulous mind to think bad of me"
"I'll take that as an honor but the frickin' Quest isn't over yet, is this an error or what?"
"Must be a bug. I'm one hundred percent sure that the beast is a deadbeat right now"
The sound of cranked steel broken and ripped apart. Far on the middle of the centipede long rusted carcasses was perceived a black bipedal with six front limbs arose to the surface
"I'm one hundred percent sure it's aiming at our dead ass right now!!"
The monstrous being leaped in our direction as we instinctively ran away. Compelled ourselves to hold back the pain more as we utilized our newfound Art indiscriminately. The ground of moist grass with the smell of the forest morning dew doesn't help much to lower our intense pressured mentality
Though this horrid incarnate doesn't have the same speed as its former form, but it was enough to chase down an escaping cattle from the flock
However, not long after the unrelenting pursuit. We found ourselves rushed into an ominous cave currently around ten meters away from us. We didn't ask ourselves why our overused brain chose this questionable cognitive action to still made us move forward. Although when we are already inside we knew our choice is one hundred percent awkward
Such a bad choice was made by our blunder. What will happens if there is a dead-end inside of if!? But instead of our poor action to be questioned. We still keep running until the brat is slipped and prone lifeless on the ground. I looked back

Baffled, it seemed like we hit the thirty minutes mark. I lied down after the joyous holographic notification appeared
"Hahahaha... HAHAHAHA!!" the maniacal laughter. A pure satisfaction after the morbid half-hour trainwreck
Both of us perplexed, several coughs blasted out from our throat. Followed by an uncontrollable hyperventilated breath. It took us a full ten minute to be able to talk
She grinned "Oh god... this jogging session is more extreme than our last one with the golem"
"Happy for you. This is the last time I'm going trigger any fucked up Quest in the future!! Fuck it! I don't want to do this anymore... Let's burrow here for a while, I've had enough"
"My-my, don't be such a pessimistic asshole. It's not like you're the only one who suffers. I'm trying to stay positive here"
"Then why don't you grab this hard ass deer skull and be in the frontline... Ah"
The wound on my chest started to pour blood. I tightened my blood vessels around it and began to force a quick hemostasis process. Hoped for a fast heal. It's excruciating
Not just blood. A tear also pours down. Did I have to do this every day? I need a happy thought to avert my thought from the future like my alienated past. I feared the end. I'm alone here with my other egoistic self with no pillar to lean on
"Ah..."
I always promised to smile no matter how horrible it was, no matter how scary the situation is. I almost broke that promise just now
"Sorry to be an asshole. This is a hard time for me... And maybe for you too"
"I know, sorry to leave it all to you. I don't have any useful ability or super strength like you did so yeah — that ticks me off. I can only provide us with more brainpower... And it sucks"
I forgot that we're used to be the same person. She must felt wronged to let me hunt the deer alone...
After discerned this wrong kind of atmosphere created by my selfishness. I stood up "Let's forget about that, we have more soul essence and a more ominous place to explore!"
A little bit of hope kindled on her eyes "Well, then lent me a hand will ya! My fragile muscles don't want to be strained"
"Heh, you lazy bullock"
I helped her stand
"So, wanna go deeper?"
"You wanted to go back there? Of course. We are going deeper, idiot!"
"Oh sorry, mister smartass"
More unneeded banter thrown into each other after that. We then checked our stats, excited to see the glorious number of soul essence

We have seen how the item was transported when we bought it in the shop. We feared that it will destroy the cave so we clench our urge for scroll and gacha
We then goes deeper into the cave. the grim gravel deliberately changed into an ancient ruin with a sophisticated formation of runes. Morphed the surrounding
