Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: A New Beginning Pt2

"We would like to thank you two again for having us. Who knows what would've happened if we were left out in the woods unconscious"

"Really it was nothing."

"So what are y'all going to do now?"

"Well if it's fine with y'all we would like to stay here for a little bit. We can help out with anything y'all would need help with."

"Sure I don't have any problem with it."

"Neither do I."

"Thank you very much."

"And please stop with the thank you's. We're just happy to help."

"But uh…"

"Hm what is it?"

"We only have 1 guest room."

Ana and Arthur now find themselves sharing the same room.

"I-I can sleep on the floor!" Arthur suggested

"I don't see any problem with us sharing a bed. I mean we already kissed."

"T-That was different! It was for your ability to work!"

"So you didn't like it?"

*Blushing* "N-No I didn't say that…"

"Cool then it's fine if we go all the way."

"NOT HOW THAT WORKS!!!"

"Fine. If it'll make you feel better, I guess you can sleep on the floor."

Arthur's sets up a make shift bed on the floor using a thick blanket

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

The next morning

Uuuuuggghh. Maybe I should've slept in the bed. The floor was so uncomfortable I could barely sleep.

"Arthur you ready!"

"Ready for?"

"To go hunting of course. You said that y'all would help out."

Oh yea I guess I did say that.

"Lemme get changed first."

"Ok just meet me out back."

"And while you boys do that. Imma help Ana learn to cook. She hasn't stopped bugging me since yesterday."

Ana came downstairs in a full cooking outfit

"I'm ready to learn your teachings sensei!"

"That's the spirit"

Well at least Ana's having fun

A few moments later

"So what exactly will we be hunting?"

"Monsters of course! What else is there to hunt."

"YOU'RE SAYING THOSE BIG CREATURES THAT CAN EASILY KILL US! ARE THEY EVEN EDIBLE!"

"Not all monsters are harmful. And of course they're edible. I'm not gonna make y'all eat poison."

"So what monsters are considered harmless."

"Well there are slimes but those guys don't really have all that much protein in them. So they're not really worth hunting."

"Ok so what is worth hunting?"

"Well let's see, we got wolves, bears-"

"WAIT AREN'T WOLVES AND BEARS GOLD TIER MONSTERS!!!"

"What? No silly a copper could easily handle them."

Huh? Does that means Mary lied? But why? Is her ability not actually detection. No it has to be cause how else would she have known about the ranks. Maybe she did it just to scare us. No cause if those beasts really were just copper, I have no doubt that they would've been able to handle them. They wouldn't have needed to betray us yet. Did her ability for some reason not work?

"Mr. Ishikawa can I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead."

"Has there ever been an instance where someone's ability didn't work."

"None that I've ever heard of."

That means Mary's ability isn't actually detection. But then how did she know about this worlds ranks. There's also the problem with the still asleep tale she told. If we were asleep when everyone arrived, what the hell happened to that guy from our class? He would've said something if they were going to betray us. What the hell is going on.

"Arthur?"

"S-Sorry just lost in thought"

"Well get your head straight. They may just be mere wolves and bears but they can still kill us. Always be alert."

"Right!"

I'll find answers later. For now I need to focus on getting used to life in this new world. It's also probably best that me and Ana keep what our abilities are a secret for right now.

"Then let's go!"

"K!"
