The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 115 - Departure

Chapter 115 - Departure

Days had passed quickly and now it was weekends. It was the day where Lumilia's going back to Gripin City, the neighboring city of Ladros City. Lumilia's family, the Azvares family, was a prominent noble family of Gripin City.
Lord Asvares, Lumilia's father, was the famous Earl of the Gripin City. He had a large influence that could rival the city lord in the Gripin City.
...
Souta woke up early in the morning. It was 5 am in the morning so the sun wasn't up yet. It was still dark outside the house. He reached out his hand and opened the window.
Swoosh!!
The cold breeze of the morning gently blew on his face.
"Hu... It's cold." He commented as he wrapped the blanket around his body tightly.
Souta has a lot of things to do today, so he pushed himself out of the bed and went straight to the bathroom. After he finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, Souta went downstairs and prepared his and Yuko's breakfast.
"This is enough..." Souta looked at the food he prepared for Yuko with a satisfied look. He then went to Yuko's room and woke her up.
"Yuko, we have a quest today so you need to get up now and have breakfast," Souta said while shaking her huge body.
Yuko slowly opened her eyes and looked at Souta. She stuck out her tongue and licked his cheeks when she saw that it was him.
"Okay, stop that. I've already prepared your breakfast." Souta said as he patted her head.
After he gave Yuko her breakfast, Souta also ate his own breakfast. He then prepared a coffee for himself as he wouldn't forget this.
He never misses a single coffee every single day. Souta likes drinking coffee especially when it's morning and the surrounding was chilly. It felt good to warm up his body by drinking warm coffee.
...
Souta was washing the dishes when he heard someone rang his doorbell.
Ding dong!
"Wait! I'm coming!" Souta shouted as he washed his hands and head out.
When he opened the door he saw, Lumilia with Cl.u.s.ter.
Souta smiled and said, "Come here."
Lumilia shook her head and said, "I needed to go now, so I'll leave Cl.u.s.ter to you."
Souta started at Lumilia before he nodded. "I understand, I'll bring her to Bryan."
Well, Lumilia didn't know where is Bryan's house so she could only leave Cl.u.s.ter to Souta.
"Thank you." Lumilia slightly bowed her head and thanked him.
Souta knitted his brows while looking at her.
"W-What is it?" Lumilia asked when she saw Souta frowned. He had a cold expression on his face and that's surprised her. He was looking at her with those cold eyes.
Souta raised his hand and opened his palm. He then slowly opened his mouth and said, "I'll say this one more time. If you have any problem you can ask for my help sincerely and I will help you to the extent of my strength."
"I..." Lumilia's mouth was left open as she couldn't say the next words she wanted to say. In the end, she just thanked him from the bottom of her heart. "Thank you very much." It's not bad to know that there were people that wanted to help her.
"Too bad. You lost your chance to get my help." Souta said while looking at her.
Lumilia flashed a bright smile and said, "I appreciate your will. Thanks for that, I'll go now."
"Okay. Come here, Cl.u.s.ter." Souta nodded before he turned his attention to Cl.u.s.ter.
Cl.u.s.ter nodded at him and she stood beside him while facing Lumilia.
Lumilia squatted down and patted Cl.u.s.ter's head. He gently smiled and said, "Don't give brother Souta and Bryan some trouble. Behave like a proper girl."
"I understand sister Mila." Cl.u.s.ter nodded her head as she grabbed Lumilia's hand. Her eyes were getting wet and her cheeks were turning red.
'Don't give trouble? Actually, I wanted trouble as there's a possibility that I could trigger a quest.' Souta thought when he heard Lumilia's words.
"Okay, I'll go now." Lumilia stood up before she bid farewell to Cl.u.s.ter and Souta. She then turned around left.
Souta and Cl.u.s.ter looked at her back until they couldn't see her. They entered his house and gave Cl.u.s.ter some hot drinks that could warm her up. It's pretty cold outside, after all.
Souta went into his room and wore his adventurer's clothes. Leather armor, leather boots, body bag, and pants. All of his equipments were blue grade except for his earring and sword. These two were different as they were universal and dark grade respectively.
Going downstairs, he saw Cl.u.s.ter was still drinking the tea that he gave her. He sat in the opposite direction of her and said, "I have a quest right now, so I'll leave you to Bryan. You got it?"
"Mn." Cl.u.s.ter nodded at him and said, "Will sister Mila come back?"
"I don't know. You see I offered her my help before but she declined." Souta shook his head before he stood up. For him, Lumilia lost her only chance to get help from him as he was about to depart for his quest right now.
Speaking of quest, he didn't know what quest the Gale Group took. He let them picked the quest that will bring them the best rewards, so he doesn't have any idea at what type of quest they will do. Only the Gale Group knew.
Well, it doesn't matter as he will know it once he arrived in the Adventurers Guild. He could only hope that the quest they picked will really bring him skill points.
He shook his head and placed those thoughts in the back of his head. He looked at Cl.u.s.ter and he noticed that the cup of tea was empty.
Souta stood up and said, "Let's go Cl.u.s.ter. Let's meet Bryan."
"Okay, Brother Souta." Cl.u.s.ter nodded at him and she stood up.
Souta glanced at her and he went towards Yuko while Cl.u.s.ter followed him.
"Yuko!" Cl.u.s.ter ran towards Yuko and she hugged her soft body.
"We're going now, Yuko," Souta said and he picked up Cl.u.s.ter in his arms. He raised her and placed her above Yuko so that she was riding her.
"Yah! Go Yuko!" Cl.u.s.ter exclaimed happily as she raised both of her hands in the air.
Souta looked at her and said, "Grab tightly, or else you will fall."
"O-Okay." Cl.u.s.ter nodded and she grabbed Yuko's fur.
"Good, follow me Yuko," Souta said and he walked away. Yuko followed him quietly.
...
After walking for a few minutes, the group arrived in front of Bryan's house.
Bryan's house was just a normal looking house made of wood. Souta approached the door and knocked on it.
"Bryan! It's me, Souta!" Souta said in a loud voice so that Bryan could hear him.
Cl.u.s.ter went down from Yuko and stood beside Souta.
After a few seconds, Souta didn't hear Bryan's reply. He grabbed the handle of the door and tried to open it. He found that it was locked inside and guessed that Bryan was still asleep.
Souta sighed and he looked at Cl.u.s.ter. "It seems that Bryan is still sleeping." He said.
"What should we do, brother Souta?" Cl.u.s.ter asked as she slightly tilted her head.
"Of course, I'll wake him up. Stand back and cover your ears, Cl.u.s.ter." Souta smiled and said to Cl.u.s.ter.
Cl.u.s.ter nodded at him and she went beside Yuko and covered her ears using her hands. She looked at Souta with a worried expression on her face.
"Huff..."
Souta took a deep breath and slowly gathered his mana. He controlled it towards his throat before he shouted.
"BRYANNNN!!!"
His shout shook Bryan's entire house. His voice was filled with mana and it became powerful and louder than his usual voice. With the level of his [Mana Manipulation] skill, Souta could do this much.
[Mana Manipulation] skill was really a great skill. Back in the game, it was a useless skill as they couldn't feel the mana there. This skill was only for design and a requirement for the Mage Class.
Souta finally understood why the game was unbalanced and there's a lot of useless skill. It was because the game was created base on the true magic world.
The players were complaining back then about why there's no loot in some dungeons. It was because those dungeons were just the breeding place of some monsters. It's natural that it doesn't have any skill books or weapons when the monsters were just wolves, slime, etc. who don't use it.
Despite all the complaints, the developer didn't change it at all. It was because the game made it look like this world.
Souta wanted to know who developed the game. Creating that game means the developer knew what will happen here and know the existence of this world.
While Souta was thinking, the door opened and it revealed Bryan with a worn-out look.
"Oh? Souta and..." Bryan looked at Souta with a tired expression then at Cl.u.s.ter. He then recalled what they talk about a few days ago. "I forgot that Cl.u.s.ter is going to stay here in my house."
"Don't forget it," Souta said as he rubbed his temple.
