Chapter 269
While running errands, we ate all sorts of things everywhere. Thanks to Uranus remembering where everything was sold, I was able to walk back and forth between clients and shops without needing to look around.
"This is delicious."
"It's tasty, isn't it?"
"It's tasty, isn't it?"
"Excellently..."
"That being said, you should eat more; you're the most tired."
"No, um, when I walk around eating this much..."
Ah... If you have time, you can eat as much as you want. The seafood is also perfect; under the intense Sun, shaved ice, cold watermelon, takoyaki, frankfurters, and soft-serve ice cream. Including the time I spent swimming, I was able to fully enjoy an eternal summer beach bath. Bliss, bliss... It feels as if some strange gazes are gathering on me, but I don't mind.
However, eating takes quite a bit of time, and the travel time isn't trivial either, so time passes quickly. It's getting hotter and hotter...
──While delivering 10 items to a client,
"Oh no.
It's almost time for the Specified Pocket Card."
Uranus said this while looking at the time on the Mobile Phone.
"Is it about time to fill our stomachs?"
"Hasn't the goal completely changed...?"
Uranus looked suspiciously at Meleoron, who was rubbing his stomach in satisfaction. No, you haven't changed, have you? Eating while walking is fun. Yes.
Uranus shrugged in surprise,
"... Devil.
This is an event where you can take a day off, so let's continue later."
"Ah, so you don't have to finish it today."
"Yes. There is no time limit for this event."
Indeed, no one told me when to bring it. That doesn't mean there isn't a time limit, but you don't have to worry about this event.
"Rounding them up is fine, but I have to remember what to bring next."
"Ah, right...
Even if I forget, if I ask, I can tell you. Mixed with sarcasm and mockery."
I don't want that. Remember it correctly.
Sim tilted his head with his straw hat,
"What are you saying next?
Grilled Clam?"
"Hmm. It's about the same as the first clam.
The price is high."
"... Anyway, why don't you eat that too?"
"No, I'll do it next time...
I'm in a hurry.
Even if I eat it now, I'll definitely eat it again when I come next time, right?"
Wow. The clams look delicious too... If you can't eat them, you'll want to eat them.
"Then where are you going?"
"Ah, well...
The time is almost up, I'll explain while we walk."
Uranus started walking a bit early. We will follow.
"About 1.5 kilometers from here is a tourist attraction called the Sun Field.
You can get a 'Sennen Swallowtail' there. An A-Rank card."
"In other words, is it difficult?"
"Fine.
If it were the same as before, it would be easier, but..."
"Yes. Book."
Uranus with the binder. Check availability?
"──On the 'Roster/List'. 54."
Currently 54 "Millennium Swallowtail Butterfly"
Players who own it
3 people
Number owned
4 cards
"Yeah. This amount, the acquisition conditions are the same."
"The reason you are in such a hurry is because the acquisition conditions are related to time, right?"
"That is correct.
The appearance time is not Fixed, but between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM every day, only one appears in the Sun Field. Appearance time is 5 minutes."
"Hmm?
Even if you know that, isn't it usually very difficult?"
"If you didn't know, it wouldn't even be a joke."
First of all, the Sun Field is very large, and visibility is poor.
Most importantly, there are many butterflies fluttering about.
If your ability to detect Qi is weak, you won't be able to find what you like at all. People often try multiple groups at once, yet fail to find anyone."
Oh, oh... right, of course. I'm useless again. If it's a mandatory "Zetsu," then you can't do anything about search events... this time it's moving butterflies, so maybe it's better than looking for a basin on the seabed.
In the constantly rising temperature, I was drenched in sweat and walked a distance at a brisk pace. This was good exercise.
Looking at the cityscape of this city, there are also several interesting places. Aquaria, the fountain plaza, the large park, and the forest paths that feel like walking trails.
"Is that where you stopped for sightseeing?"
I asked Uranus while chatting, and he agreed,
"Yes, that's what I meant.
However, the latter would be more convenient. Because it relates to the designated Pocket Card."
"Oh, I see."
"There is an event where you can photograph the tourist attractions of Four Seasons Town.
It is useless to take pictures without a dedicated camera, so at this time, it only makes sense to preview first."
"What card can I get?"
"Hmm, I think it's 'Memory Photo Studio'."
Ah, that is... what you said might be necessary. But...
"You don't need it after all, do you?"
Meleoron reacted accurately to matters concerning his plastic surgery.
"Hmm. Of course, the designated pockets must be filled, but the item is unnecessary.
That matter should be resolved by the Lost and Found."
Yes, yes. Then there is no need to rush to pick up the Memory Photo Studio.
After walking for about ten minutes from the beach, we reached our destination.
──... I see, it is the Sun Field.
Under the bright sun, many sunflowers are blooming. A dazzling yellow flock. Within a fairly large area, there are grasslands where one can walk comfortably and fields full of sunflowers.
"Aisha. It's time to return your hat."
It seems he is trying to return the straw hat.
"Hmm?
It's fine to wear it separately.
Even the Seam will be very hot."
"But the sun might damage Aisha's hair.
So return it."
Hmm, hmm... this is not ordinary sunlight. Besides having Qi, I am also worried about whether my hair and scalp will be damaged in this place where the sea breeze blows.
While I was still hesitating, I took off the hat, and the Seam was gone.
... Can't be helped. Let's pretend to be mature.
Even so.
Many butterflies are flying. Just looking around, there are dozens. Even with a wide search range, this is difficult.
"So, are you all splitting up to look for the butterflies?
What are their characteristics?"
Meleoron asked Uranus. I believe it is best to split up. At least two hands.
"There are no other players, so you can move freely.
Its characteristic is a purple web-like pattern on its wings.
If you see it, you will know, 'Ah, this might be it.'"
Is it purple? The butterflies that can be seen from here are usually yellow, white, and black. Looking closely, there are various colors like blue, but not many. At least it is not purple.
However...
"Butterflies are fine, but aren't there a lot of bees?"
Buzzing, buzzing, aren't they? Around the sunflowers, it looks active.
"Right, hmm...
First of all, there are many bees in the sunflower field.
What are you going to do, Aisha? Just in case, should I use 'En'?"
"Hmm...
No, be careful, you will be fine.
You can avoid as many bees as possible."
"Ah, yes...
Bees tend to lean towards black, so be especially careful with your hair.
I am wearing a hat on my head, I think I am fine.
Also, it's fine if I defeat you separately. It's just a bee, so you can easily defeat it, and bees can also turn into cards."
"I understand.
Meleoron and Seam, please be careful of the bees."
"Ouch."
"Yeah, got it."
A bit further away, my siblings are enjoying the sunflowers. It seems there are no other players; should we go find them quickly?
Uranus, the one you are most likely to find, is just looking carefully around, motionless.
"You haven't found Uranus yet, have you?"
"Uh, well..."
I might not have popped it out yet, and my "Yen" doesn't know that much either...
At the very least, I must stay out of sight."
"Hehe!
Is there no other butterfly that sells for more than the favorite one?"
Meleoron is asking a cash question. Seam next door is staring at her sister, dumbfounded.... Well, if there is one, I want to catch it.
"Hmm.
There might be, but I can't tell the difference.
Blue is rare, and green is very rare.
This is easy."
Oh, really.... No, wait a minute.
"It's good to catch them, but are you catching them with your bare hands?"
"Ah... I don't have the tools to catch it, so things like this happen.
Just like with the Pearl Locust, I don't think it's a good idea to catch them in a clumsy way. If you pick at the feathers, the scales will stick to them too.
It's best to catch it with both hands when it stops.
If you aren't confident, wearing a hat works too. If you tell me, I will catch it for you instead."
"So you've already caught it with your bare hands..."
"I've never used an insect net before."
Ha... what a wild child. Is he a kid like Gon?
Strolling through the sunny fields with Uranus while admiring the sunflowers. My siblings would naturally do this. We follow the Wind.
"... Aisha. This outfit suits you well."
Uranus says this suddenly. Hmm... I'm not sad to hear that.
"You're the same as usual, but you're dressed well."
"..."
Even if I want to compliment him, it's just his usual clothes. It would be like this.
Take off the straw hat and put it on Uranus.
"... Hmm?"
"Hehe, I knew it, it suits you."
"Yeah?
... I should buy one for everyone."
Fine, okay. Setting the straw hat aside, this hat might be necessary.... No, but Meleoron is a bit harsh. The hat can't cover it.
"But when you carry a hat with you, it becomes luggage."
"Correct..."
I want you to prepare a way to put your large luggage somewhere.... Should I build a hideout too? It seems this group has a hideout as well.
"Isn't there someone who can hide using a designated pocket card?"
"There is.
... It's for one person."
Not at all.
Well, that's right... I think it said it's a hideout, so don't throw it to others. It's not hard to use.
"Having a place where you can put luggage Together is certainly convenient and helpful..."
"If it's as Heavy as a Training tool, you don't have to worry about it being stolen."
"For regular clothes, the preservation state is important, so I wonder if we can do it the same way.
Hmm. Thinking about the future, I want to do something for it, but not all of this..."
Even while speaking, I can see Uranus staring here and there. No, I can't lift my head. I don't want to say it, but above all, Uranus is too convenient.
──Hmm? That?
As the butterfly flies by, I wrap my hands around it while it dances.
Boom! And comb through.
"What?"
Uranus looks at me.
"54: Millennium Agha"
Grade A Card, limit 25
A legendary insect, whoever can catch this butterfly
will flourish for generations thereafter, hence the name.
After confirming the card's contents, I show the card to Uranus.
"When.
I see..."
Uranus shakes the ribbon of his straw hat,
"Uh... uh, idiot!
Aisha, why did you suddenly pick it up!?"
No, no... because a butterfly that looked like that was passing by the tip of my nose. It's not like I was looking for something special.
"Hey, you two! Aisha took it!"
"Umori!? Seriously!?"
"Really!? Let me see!"
My sister ran over. For now, take out the Binder that has the "book," and put the card in the designated pocket. A minute passes, and you won't be able to laugh.
"Wow...!
Yes, you found it well, Aisha. There are so many butterflies flying around."
"It was just a Coincidence..."
"To not be able to see the aura, you are too monstrous...!"
"No, no, no, it was just a Coincidence."
It is hard for me to lift you up. Even if you asked me to do it again, I couldn't. I am surprised that I took it.
"The person who possesses it is different. I simply cannot do that.
... It is nothing more than that.
This is a card that looks a lot like you, isn't it?"
Meleoron said so, and Seam tilted his head. Uranus had a thoughtful face. I heard something similar a while ago. Did Uranus tell you?
Passed down from generation to generation, prosperity... I don't know what it's really like. I don't think I have that kind of Nen Ability, I don't know if it's written like that.
Uranus grabbed his straw hat and sighed,
"I thought it would be a bit difficult, but it is so good...
It's not even noon yet."
"Ah, then...
How about Grilled Clam for lunch? While delivering an item."
"..."
Do you want to eat that much?"
"Yeah, it's already like this."
I turned my gaze toward that cute person wearing a straw hat.
"Hmm...
Because he is a contributor. Alright, let's go eat."
"Thank you."
Calm down, say thank you. In my mind, it's a fist pump and applause. Wow!
Uranus turned to his brother,
"Is this okay, you two?
I mean, it's just lunch."
"I don't mind, but can I ask for something else?
I want to have a proper meal."
"That's fine, but.
... Although you said you were full, are you still going to have a proper meal?"
"Snacks and main meals are separate.
After all, it's Cultivation after this; if I don't eat, I won't be able to sustain it."
"I like ice cream."
"If you only eat cold food, your stomach will get cold."
"I also ate Kintoki a while ago, so next I want to eat bluesour.
Oh, I don't want to throw away the lemon either."
"... Are you going to eat shaved ice again?"
Because it's hot. Shaved ice is delicious, isn't it? Matcha soft serve is also great.
