Chapter 149 - 149-Minerals In The Red Cliff
"Wow, this looks amazing. There\'s even a soft sofa here." Yua jumped on the sofa and lay there.
Others also sat on the sofa, looking around curiously. In particular, this was their first time seeing something like this. I\'m quite used to seeing this car, although inside it looks more modern than in my previous world.
"We\'re leaving now,"
Natalia, who was in the driver\'s seat, looked back and said to us, then the car accelerates towards its destination. Natalia\'s workshop was near a forest on a hill near Sailos City, so it didn\'t attract much attention. Actually, I know why the workshop is in the forest because it has something to do with Natalia\'s past.
"Natalia, did you make this by yourself? How can you make it? " Curious, Yua walked towards Natalia, who was driving.
"Hmph, of course, I made it myself. I am a woman of genius," Natalia said with a proud face.
"That sounds incredible," Yua said, clapping her hands.
Natalia, who was praised by Yua, felt even more proud of herself. I just chuckled at Natalia\'s reaction. Elyse had a sullen face, looking displeased, and she looked away.
"Lute," Lusi suddenly called me.
"Hmn? Lusi, do you need anything? "
Lusi looked at my face intently before turning her head forward and shaking her head. When I became confused, it was rare to see Lusi trying to talk to me. Looking around, even though this car has been designed to be comfortable to use, there is still an impression that this car was created by scientists. Maybe this is what caused Lusi to feel uncomfortable and call out to me.
"Don\'t worry, Lusi, Natalia is not that kind of person." I smiled, patting her head.
Lusi turned to me and nodded. Somehow, she felt safe when Lute patted her head.
During the trip, because we sometimes pass through the forest. There will be monsters trying to attack, but because this car is moving so fast, even before monsters attack, this car is already very far away. This car makes us not have to bother to fight monsters during trips.
...
As night drew near, we had arrived at Erand Village, which should have been a day away from Sailos City. Upon seeing a strange vehicle like a carriage without horses, the villagers looked very curious and approached us. We all got out of the car and were greeted by curious villagers.
When they saw the academy clothes we were wearing, they had amazed faces. A middle-aged man came up to us. He had a friendly face upon our arrival.
"My name is Raimund Higuel. I\'m the village head of Erand Village. Are you all here for Red Dungeon? "
Natalia smiled kindly at the village head. "That\'s right, village chief. We\'re here to explore the dungeon, "
Elyse and others looked in disbelief when they saw Natalia speaking kindly to the village head. I just laughed a little at their surprise.
"I\'m glad to hear that, I will prepare a place for you to rest. Then we\'ll talk about Red Dungeon that just appeared."
Raimund smiled, then he spoke to one of the villagers there to prepare a place for us to stay, before taking us to his house. But before that, Natalia turned her car into a small, palm-sized one and put it in a storage ring.
Arriving at the village head\'s house, we were served a lot of food on the table. Then the village head started to explain to us about the dungeon that had appeared suddenly on the cliff. The dungeon appeared after the sound of cracks in the Red Cliff was heard.
Red Cliff is a cliff with red soil and rocks, and until now it has not been found why everything there is red. Even in the story, this cliff is not mentioned much and is still a mystery to me.
"Several C-rank adventurers had tried exploring the dungeon, but they came back covered in wounds. They said there were a lot of powerful monsters there, so they gave up on exploring the dungeon any further. "
"I see. Don\'t worry. We will try to conquer the dungeon," Natalia said with a smile.
"*Sigh* I\'m glad the academy\'s help came, but I\'m also worried about all of you. Remember to come back if you really can\'t conquer the dungeon," Raimund said worriedly.
"Did any monsters come out of the dungeon?" I ask.
"Nothing has come out, it\'s just everyone is still worried. If monsters come out and walk into the village,"
"Village Chief, why don\'t you evacuate until the dungeon is conquered?" Silvie asked curiously.
"We can\'t do it because this is where we get our income. Red Valley has a lot of minerals. We work as miners there. If we evacuate for an indefinite time, we are afraid we will lose our jobs, "
"Mineral??" Natalia\'s eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Miss? You seem very interested in minerals in Red Valley. If you can conquer the dungeon, you can mine the minerals there as much as you want, " Raimund said.
"Re-really? Then we have to conquer this dungeon, " Natalia said with a happy face.
We can only be silent with behavior as she pleased.
----
"Why are you all looking at me? Is there something wrong? " Natalia said, Not happy.
We had finished talking to Raimund and were heading towards the house he had prepared. It was just that, after leaving Raimund\'s house, Silvie and others looked at Natalia with deep gazes.
"Nothing, but when you talk to the villagers, you look different. Normally you\'d brag about yourself, " Silvie said.
"Heh, of course, I\'m different. After all, I\'m not a noble who likes to brag about themselves, wherever they are, " Natalia said disdainfully.
We looked at each other, hearing Natalia, and thought at the same time.
\'Isn\'t that you!!\'
"Do not believe it? I don\'t care if you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me, " *Hmph*
\'No, no, it has something to do with you!\'
Natalia ignored us who looked at her strangely.. She considered herself different from noble even though she was also arrogant.
