But... something felt off.
"Two shots to the chest and one to the stomach with the Elimination drill," I corrected myself, recalling the proper technique.
I aimed my Glock and fired three shots at the golden orc, following the precise Elimination drill.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The orcs, controlled by the power of gold, showed no amusing reactions. They collapsed easily under the onslaught.
As the orcs fell, I couldn't help but wonder what they would excrete, even without a personality to react with.
To my surprise, golden jelly emerged from their bodies. It seemed that this golden coating was a pseudo-personality used to manipulate the orcs.
My shots had even managed to make them excrete the golden jelly. It quickly dissipated, returning the orcs to their natural state.
"It's okay now," I reassured Sylvie, who clung to me tightly, her eyes filled with tears.
"Is it really okay...?" Sylvie questioned, her voice trembling with uncertainty.
I held her gently, feeling the warmth and softness of her body against mine. It was a sensation I hadn't anticipated but found strangely satisfying.
Meanwhile, Kelly was nearing the end of her battle on the other side. She faced the boss, a formidable enhanced B-rank monster.
Breaking its posture proved to be a challenging task even for Kelly, a renowned B-rank soloist.
"Kelly! Can you do it?" I called out, concerned for her well-being.
"I can do it... or not!!" Kelly's voice wavered, revealing a hint of doubt.
Despite her petite stature, Kelly possessed incredible strength and determination. She clashed with the boss, her sword gleaming with each strike.
Her landscape-cutting technique, slicing through the air in three swift motions, landed with precision.
"Kurreuk!?" the boss roared in anguish.
"Lacy... you despicable fiend!" Kelly retorted, her resolve unyielding.
I chuckled inwardly, relishing the taste of being the main character—the one who saved the day. It was a role I had longed for, and it felt deliciously satisfying.
With unwavering spirit, Kelly fought valiantly, ultimately defeating the B-class elite boss. The message flashed before our eyes: "Dungeon Clear." Kelly's contribution stood at an impressive 71%, earning her the title of MVP.
"Wow, Kelly is incredible!" Sylvie exclaimed, her admiration evident.
This time, Kelly took the spotlight as the protagonist. She effortlessly vanquished the massive monster, striding towards us with confidence. It was a sight to behold—a girl in her fluttering school uniform skirt, radiating power and grace.
"You worked hard, Kelly," I acknowledged, impressed by her prowess.
"Did you contribute this time, Lucas?" Kelly inquired, her curiosity evident.
"Thanks to the weapon someone bought me. What?" I responded, slightly puzzled.
As if parched from the intense battle, Kelly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a bottle of water, drinking it without hesitation.
"Do you want some?" she offered, noticing our sweat-drenched faces.
Gratefully, I accepted the water and took a sip, feeling refreshed by its coolness.
"Will the dungeon be demolished soon?" I asked, curious about our next steps.
"Not yet. If it's true that a demon merchant is coming out..." Kelly trailed off, suggesting there might be more to discover about the dungeon.
My curiosity piqued. "A demon merchant? What's that?"
Kelly's expression turned serious. "First, let's distribute the earnings," she suggested, diverting the conversation.
Kelly initiated a deal and began listing the distribution of coins. Sylvie had earned 960 coins, while I had accumulated 1,188 coins. It was less than what I had anticipated.
"This is a considerable amount for a single B-class dungeon. For your information, I have two thousand coins," Kelly stated, providing context to the earnings.
I realized that the distribution was at the leader's discretion. Sylvie shook her head, indicating her satisfaction with the allocation.
"It's my first time receiving a share, so I'm happy... Hehe," Sylvie chimed in, a hint of delight in her voice.
"..."
Kelly's eyes narrowed, suspicion clouding her gaze. "Did you steal his money...?"
"I-I don't know anything about that," I stammered, feeling the weight of her suspicion.
I reached out and grabbed her arm, trying to calm her down, but her suspicious gaze remained unyielding. "You do realize that stealing money in the hunter industry will get you buried alive, right?" she warned, her voice laced with a hint of menace.
"I didn't know before, but I have no intention of stealing..." I replied, my voice trembling.
"Uh! Yes... Sa, Lucas, it's okay to give it all to me. I am..." Sylvie interjected, attempting to diffuse the tension.
"Even if the person involved is okay with it, it's not allowed! That's the law!" Kelly asserted firmly, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Considering Kelly's strong sense of justice, I knew that if she had given me more money, she would have done so without hesitation. Instead, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I reached into my bag and retrieved 400 coins, which I had saved on my student ID, and handed them to Kelly.
"I'll pay you back right away, Kelly," I promised, hoping to rectify the situation.
"I already deducted it from the money you were supposed to receive," Kelly replied, her voice tinged with a hint of disappointment.
"Was my contribution that high...?" I asked, surprised by the deduction.
Kelly avoided my gaze, her expression unreadable. "Well, you did better than I thought... so consider it a reward."
"As you suggested, I did consider choosing something other than a gun," I admitted, recalling our previous conversation.
"It certainly suited you better than a knife," Kelly remarked, acknowledging my fighting style.
