We went a bit overboard with our orders... Some great meats were going to be our meal... In the end, for today lunch session... I spend 700 Bucks for us both... It didn't really put a dent to my bank account... But still... It's pretty big considering that's a meal for two person...
I need to bring Rie and Mom here someday... And it would be nice if Uni won't butt into the session because... I'm afraid she would tell them about my shenanigans...
Anyways... We cook the meat ourselves... Since Uni is a pretty regular costumer... She knew every bits. In and out... She know it...
"This is your meats. Go enjoy it. We need a lot of energy for the raid after this."
"Yes Uni."
I quietly eat and the two of us waited for the news to appear in our phone... The porters group should be finished anytime soon... Since they're a professional group. They should be finished by now. But I guess... They need to really count all the loot. Because of my Insatiable Hunger double drop.
Eventually... The good news appear... The two of us immediately check the reward of my hard works.
"Hoo... 150 Medium Magic Stone... 2 High Magic Stone... And a couple more loot that need to be identified. Overall, a good find by you. Good job on that."
"Hmmmm... I'm still not satisfied with the amount of loot I got... I feel like I can get more..."
"Nah nah nah. You've done excellent in that raid. Don't think about the Loot too much."
It's not like I care about the amount of Loot I got... I just feel like... My Insatiable Hunger should proc more... It's just... A waste of an ability if it doesn't proc too often... I still need to uncover the secret of Insatiable Hunger. Maybe there's a way for me to keep the double loot active... But I just don't know it yet... That's what I want to believe....
I finished checking and then continue eating meat with vegetables on the side... By I mean vegetables, I mean Fries. Potato is a vegetable... Right?
Anyway... As I'm eating... My ears picked up some... Not really nice comments...
'Hey hey... Who is that?'
'He casually eating with the Guild Master?'
'Who is he? Is he leeching off of the Guild Master?'
'He's not pleasant to look at. He look poor.'
The only reaction I have is to chew aggressively. Since I can't do anything to them... Uni notice my discomfort... And she quietly let out some pressure to calm the tension down... Or rather... Raise the tension of everyone else to stop and calm my tension down...
"Sssshhhh. Don't mind them... There's bastards like them too... But don't worry... Those disrespect behavior are going to disappear soon."
"... Thank you Uni..."
Once again, she's there to help me... As I'm eating the last of my meal... I got a call from Rie... So I pick the call up and then hear what she has to say.
"Brother. Where are you right now?"
"Having a lunch before going to a raid. Why is that? You need something?"
"Aaaah. Your friend from school is visiting you right now... She introduce herself as Myu. So, what should I do?"
"Tell her that I'm having a raid right now... And if she insist to wait in the house... Just tell her that I will be back at 6."
"Okay... I will tell her that. Be careful Brother."
"Of course. I'll talk to you later Rie."
I end the call and Uni is smiling quietly... She seems like she's happy when she heard me having a conversation with Rie... She's... Jealous. I can see it. She wants to get along with her sibling too...
"Sorry Uni. I get a bit distracted there. Can't ignore a call from my sister."
"Of course. I know what you feel... Anyway... Shall we take a look at what type of dungeon we're going to face off next?"
"Yes please!"
I finish my plate of food and then move beside Uni... I ignore all the gossiping guests and just focus on what I should do... Learn about the dungeon and make some plan with Uni...
I look at the Dungeon Catalogue... It's another High A Rank dungeon... But from the description of the dungeon... It seems like we're about to fight in a cave... And our opponent is going to be arachnids and bugs... Which is... Bad... Bad BAD....
"Hey Uni. Can I not go to this dungeon?"
"... You have a phobia against bugs and spiders?"
"... Yes... They freak me out because when I'm little... My Dad... Throw a cockroach on me as a joke... And it freak the fuck out of me... And for arachnids... They move so fucking fast that I can't find where they are when they move..."
"I see. Well, don't worry about that... They might be bugs, but they will be big in appearance... So they will be a lot slower than what you're used to. And once you get over your fear of Bugs and Arachnids... Trust me... Your life would be much easier."
Yeah. I understand at least that much. But still... It freaks the heck out of me...
"Don't freak out. Come on now... You can get some special skills you know? Especially the spiders. Don't you want to make strings on your own and control the shape of it?"
... That's true... If I can make a web and control web like substance. Such as String or anything stringy... Then I won't mind killing them... Because I need a skill like that just to ease the flow of battle by trapping my opponent in a certain death chamber...
"Sign me in Uni. I will complete this dungeon with ease!"
"Good! Don't worry... This is an official Raid. As I said, the main raid party is going to be there with us. So you don't need to worry about the amount of power we have."
That's not the problem here honestly. I'm pretty sure Uni and I can clear it by ourselves... Having the main Raid Party would be helpful... But that's not what I'm worried about... What I'm worried about is the fact that this dungeon is a Cave Dungeon...
Scouts would only scout the area around the gate... They won't go too deep if it's a Cave Dungeon. They have a chance to lose their way and certain death. They definitely don't want that to happen... So they probably only look at the surroundings. And if they find two different monster inside...
Then that means there's more monster type deeper in the cave... And honestly... As bad as it sounds... It's good for my Apex Predator... I hope that this raid will go smoothly. If possible, I don't want anyone to die so that they won't be a hindrance.
Uni pick up at the pieces that I left for her... She know what I want to say to her instantly about the monster... And she nodded a couple of times.
"Taiga. Pay for the food. I'll contact the raid team to bring some extra equipment for some safety measure."
"... Okay Uni. I will wait outside when I'm done."
She goes to the back of the BBQ place and have a chat with the Raid Member... I pay for the lunch... It's... Terrifying how much money I spend in one sitting... And most of it is for Uni... Haah.... I can't only sigh when I was shown something like this.
I paid for it and then wait outside...
