I Won’t Leave Otherwise

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“Th-This is…!?” (Leon)

When they opened the door beyond the giant mummy’s room, they found a treasure vault filled with countless gold and silver treasures.

“It’s a mountain of treasureeeee!” (Mina)

Mina’s eyes turned golden as she shouted. Meanwhile, Leon was looking toward the back of the room. There was a beautiful water pitcher with a pale light blue color and a texture like porcelain. Among the other treasures carelessly scattered around, only this pitcher was carefully placed on something like an altar.

“This seems to be the Infinite Water Pitcher.” (Leon)

He lifted it and looked inside. Although it had obviously been here for a long time, it was filled with pure, clear water. He, then, stored it in his item box.

“…I’ll give up on the water pitcher, but… hehe, which one should I choose?” (Mina)

“No way.” (Leon)

Leon stopped Mina, who was drooling while rummaging through the treasures. This was a ruin managed by the lord of that town, not an abandoned ruin. Taking treasures discovered here without permission was forbidden.

“There are so many here that even if I take 10 or 20, they won’t notice!” (Mina)

“At least say one or two…” (Leon)

How many was she planning to take?

“You don’t even know what treasures there are, so it’s fine! Besides, these treasures would be happier if a beauty like me owned them than if they just sleep here!” (Mina)

“But you’re going to sell them, right?” (Leon)

“Of course. It’s no use having them otherwise.” (Mina)

What she said made no sense at all.

“No matter what you say, I’m definitely taking the treasure home! I won’t leave otherwise!” (Mina)

Mina threw a tantrum and clung to the treasures.

Leon said calmly…

“Then, just leave them here. Close the door and spend eternity with the treasure, I guess.” (Leon)

“W-Wait, if you do that I’ll turn into a mummy!” (Mina)

Sighing, Leon asked Silvia for help.

“This is troublesome, so possess her and bring her along.” (Leon)

“Leave it to me!” (Silvia)

“Eek!?” (Mina)

Suddenly, Silvia rushed forward, causing Mina to scream.

But once Silvia entered Mina’s body, the light of consciousness disappeared from her eyes.

“…I’m going back.” (Mina/Silvia)

With the now docile Mina, Leon’s group left the treasure vault behind.

“Hm? What’s wrong, both of you?” (Leon)

On the way back, Leon noticed that the twins seemed down and called out to them.

““…Tired.”” (Arc/Iris)

“You okay?” (Leon)

““…”” (Arc/Iris)

They seemed to have no energy even to speak. Although they had fought the giant mummy, this level of exhaustion was unusual for the two.

“Leon.” (Sura)

“Sura? What is it? Oh, I see.” (Leon)

Seeing Sura pointing at herself with her tentacle, Leon guessed what was wrong.

“Maybe both of them are about to evolve.” (Leon)

In the case of beastkin, they couldn’t obtain jobs like human, but like monsters, they coud evolve. Unlike with Sura, there was no sign of their bodies glowing yet, but the same phenomenon might occur soon.

“Let’s check their status.” (Leon)

Arc

Species: Catkin

Species Level: 60 (MAX)

Strength: SS

Endurance: SS

Dexterity: SS

Agility: SSS

Magic Power: SS

Luck: SS

Status: Leon’s Familiar

 

Iris

Species: Catkin

Species Level: 60 (MAX)

Strength: SS

Endurance: SS

Dexterity: SS

Agility: SSS

Magic Power: SS

Luck: SS

Status: Leon’s Familiar

 

“Both have reached species level 60.” (Leon)

Apparently, they have hit the cap, marked as MAX. It seemed this was definitely a sign of evolution.

“It can’t be helped.” (Leon)

Leon lifted the exhausted twins under each arm.

“You two rest.” (Leon)

““…Nn.”” (Arc/ Iris)

Besides the twins, Silvia was possessed inside Mina, so she was unavailable as a fighter.

“Well, I’ll handle the way back!” (Meltera)

“““Uwaa…””” (Arc/Iris/Leon)

“Eek! I really hate undead!” (Meltera)

Meltera was also not very helpful, so Leon had to make most of the way back on his own.

“Well, all I have to do is keep casting purification magic rapidly.” (Leon)

Having safely returned from the ancient ruins, Leon and the others went back to the lord’s mansion.

“Oh! Is this the Infinite Water Pitcher? Thank you very much!” (Lord)

The lord was so excited that he immediately headed toward the lake.

“Ah, before that, can I put those two to bed?” (Leon)

“W-Were they injured in the ruins!?” (Lord)

“They’re just tired, so it’s fine.” (Leon)

Leon laid the twins, who had fallen asleep without him noticing, onto beds in the lord’s mansion.

“Sura, watch over them.” (Leon)

“‘Got it.’” (Sura)

Then, Leon and the others accompanied the lord to the lake. Hearing rumors, townspeople had gathered as well.

“Will the lake really be revived?” (Villager)

“If that happens, maybe the young people will return…” (Villager)

“I won’t believe it until I see it with my own eyes.” (Villager)

While the crowd murmured like this, the lord slowly tilted the water pitcher.

“““Oh!””” (Villagers)

The villagers gasped in surprise as they noticed the water pouring endlessly from the pitcher without running out.

“That water pitcher never runs out of water…” (Villager)

“What’s going on…?” (Villager)

In front of this mysterious scene, the lord kept pouring water into the lake without stopping.
