Chereads / Mushroom family in another world / Chapter 20 - Sleepy night

Chapter 20 - Sleepy night

The cloaked people were ordered to deal with a walking mushroom. At first they thought this was a joke, but when they saw the shiny gold coins, they changed their minds. They were so poor that they thought the nobles were scared of a harmless walking mushroom so they gave them money to deal with it.

But they were wrong.

The walking mushroom that they looked down on thought it would be easy to solve, but could use weapons skillfully like a real expert. With a sharp knife in hand, it caused them many injuries.

The current Mae is now the Eri system in control of her body, because a kind and compassionate person like Mae has never had experience in actual combat, let alone holding a weapon. So she has to ask the system to handle it for her.

Although it is a bit difficult for this body to move, it is nothing to the system. Mae takes advantage of the skills she possesses, she jumps on the enemy's body and then uses the fire element released from her palm as leverage to help her fly a bit higher while burning the enemy.

If she used the fire element indiscriminately, it would definitely cause a fire. Furthermore, there are many people here who are unconscious, so she has to be even more careful.

When she saw the enemy jump out from behind her, he slashed at her but the blade not only did not cut her skin but was also slippery. That's because Mae's body has a special protective layer, so even if she receives damage, she remains unharmed.

Seize the opportunity and use a sharp knife to slash the enemy's leg.

Even in the dark, the Eri system can detect enemies at a glance. At this point, she can only temporarily hurt them a little, because she has other moves.

- Grayce

- Loya

That's all she waited for.

Mae started running faster, she ran around the room while the other people chased her, wanting to kill her. Until Mae stopped and turned towards the others.

"It's just a walking mushroom that makes us suffer so much."

"If this is the case, I'll probably have to sell you to compensate for the damage."

"Sell it to the circus for quite a bit."

She didn't seem scared, on the contrary, her facial expression was very blank.

[Do you know why fishermen leave nets in the sea, instead of moving the boat to catch fish?] - Mae (Eri)

The other group of people found it difficult to understand, but they ignored her and approached her.

[That means when you pull it up, you'll catch a bigger catch of fish] - Mae (Eri)

Immediately, Mae pulled hard and the membranes on the wall and floor began to separate. She jumped onto the chandelier and the membrane caught the group of people and then pulled them up. Mae tied it to a nearby pole, then gently brushed her hands, looking at the group of people trapped there like fish struggling hard to escape.

[What a big catch of fish] - Mae (Eri)

A guy who hasn't been caught yet tries to assassinate Mae from above. She's about to use a sharp knife to attack when suddenly something grabs him.

It was a hand, a giant hand.

To her shock, that giant hand crushed him like an ant, blood splattered everywhere and even splashed on Mae's face. Luckily, the Eri system currently has no emotions, but if it were Mae herself, she wouldn't know how she would react, maybe panic or faint.

A pair of green eyes were looking at her. Stepping out from the darkness was a tall young man with a handsome face but a very cold expression. He walked closer to the walking mushroom, regardless of whether his shoes stepped on blood, he still walked as if nothing happened. Mae may not know anything but the Eri system does.

The opponent is not an ordinary person, but also very dangerous.

That's right, the person standing in front of the Eri system was one of the Archdemons.

[Archdemon of Greed]- Mae (Eri)

When the two were only a meter apart, the Archdemon of Greed looked at Mae with probing eyes.

"You are not that walking mushroom, you are a parasite inside her" - Archdemon of Greed

[...]- Mae (Eri)

"Anyway, you handled the trash neatly. At least you're more useful than the guards" - Archdemon of Greed

[And you just presented me with a pool of blood]- Mae (Eri)

Both of them looked at each other and the Archdemon just sighed.

"If someone else said that, I would definitely lose my life for being rude. But you are a parasite living in that walking mushroom, so I temporarily forgive you, because that walking mushroom is not guilty" - Archdemon of Greed

[Oh? Since when is the Archdemon so tolerant? Before, you didn't even care about the lives of others. But notice that this is a walking mushroom] - Mae (Eri)

"We, Archdemon, have our own rules, we just need to know ourselves and not go over the limit" - Archdemon of Greed

____________

[Notice: The automatic system is nearing its usage limit]

[The system immediately stopped operating]

____________

The Eri system begins to lose control of the body, perhaps it is time to rest to allow the owner of this body to regain control. But there was no way Mae could wake up and immediately meet the Archdemon of Greed. Because the Eri system can analyze him as one of the most cruel and confusing Archdemons, not as easily as the other two female Archdemons.

The body gradually became weaker, unable to continue walking and collapsed, Eri's system entered a state of rest.

Looking at the unconscious walking mushroom on the floor, the Archdemon of Greed just stood and watched, until two of Mae's servants appeared. When they saw the Archdemon, they were wary, but when he turned his eyes towards Mae, they immediately understood. They carried her onto the carriage and left quickly.;

The Archdemon of Greed watched the carriage leave in the distance, when Mescal also appeared behind him.

"How do you feel?"- Archdemon of Greed

"Intelligent and very sharp, her skills are not easy to detect. It seems she did not rely on the grace of Lord Acedia and Lord Ira to solve the puzzle" - Mescal

"Acedia and Ira are too easy-going in front of a walking mushroom. If the whole world knew that a walking mushroom was granted the Archdemon's grace, what would be the matter?" - Archdemon of Greed

"But can't you deny that that walking mushroom has bravery? Not everyone has the courage to stand in front of the Archdemon" - Mescal

"Enough of this nonsense, have you heard about "that"?" - Archdemon of Greed

An explosion of pressure from the Archdemon caused Mescal to drop to one knee. Such manifestations must mean that this is a serious matter.

"I have collected as many sources of information as quickly as possible. Most of them are true" - Mescal

"So does that mean that will actually happen?" - Archdemon of Greed

"Yes, no doubt about it. It will happen, it's just a matter of time" - Mescal

"Several hundred years have passed. Unexpectedly, there are two new people in the Archdemon ranks. We need to be careful. It is said that these two people have unbelievable power, but anyway, they do not cause any harm"- Archdemon of Greed

The Archdemon of Greed looked at the moonlight shining in the sky.

Since ancient times, the Archdemon had only five people but had seven thrones. Hundreds of years have passed and no one has sat on those two thrones. Now there are rumors that there will be two people sitting on those two thrones, the vacant position is about to be filled.

Those two thrones correspond to two Archdemons. That is.

The Archdemon of Gluttony, the devourer of everything.

And the Archdemon of Envy, who makes all jealous.
