Nero, the Legendary Hunter

The Samurai girl, Jingu, was surprised. In reality she didn't expect it. But the idea was not out of the question. After all, she also wanted to explore dungeons and was also looking for a group, but as she was new to the Nan Empire, it was difficult for her to form a party. That's exactly why she got involved with these gangs - she was looking for a group to form to explore some dungeons, and that's when she was approached by one of these hoodlums and they started wanting to harass her. And seeing as she was not a fool or anything she soon realized their true aim and didn't give them a chance, but only when one of them persisted and tried to grab her, that's when she reacted and what followed had just played out.

"That's really all I want most as well, de gozaru!" she exclaimed.

Although she was affected by the previous situation, it wasn't enough to shake Choko, who said with a happy laugh, "Hehe, that's great! Now we just need to find 2 more people to form a group and we can explore the dungeon."

"But come on, what the hell was that hand that came out of that door?" Nero had never seen anything like that before; it was still messing with her psychologically.

"True, I didn't even want to think about it. That's why I was ignoring the existence of it, gozaru," Jingu said seriously, "Was it a member from the demon race and that man was from a satanic sect?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything about that kind of thing." Nero shook her head.

"I don't know anything about it either," Choko sighed helplessly.

"That's scary, especially when we don't know what we're dealing with, but…" Jingu said, "I don't think this kind of occurrence will happen very often. It may even never come to our attention again, since it's so hidden, don't you think so too, gozaru?"

"That makes sense. I don't think this occurrence will ever happen again." Choko nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore, but we'll keep it in mind. If you get the chance, I think it's good to try and find information regarding this," Nero said, "Now I think the most important thing is to try to find two more people to be part of our group."

"I agree / I do too." Choko and Jingu agreed.

Nero held out her hand to Jingu and her eyes curved in crescent moons; her smile was the most beautiful Jingu had ever seen. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Nero, I'm glad you agreed to join us."

"Ohhh…" Jingu blushed. 'What a destructive power! Her smile is even prettier up close.'

Her face a red tomato, Jingu took Nero's hand with both of her own and began to shake it. "I say that the pleasure is all mine!"

'Personality change?' Nero was confused.

Choko wasn't too happy about Jingu suddenly grabbing Nero's hand, but she managed to contain herself, but if Jingu went any further than that...

- Esfin Town -

"Breno, Jair, a letter from Choko has arrived." After returning from the Hunter Association, Jana came over and spoke to them.

"Oh, and what does she say in the letter?" Their interest was piqued.

"She says she's staying in a Nan Empire town with Nero, and that they're going to enroll in a Hunter School," Jana said, and added, "Also, they are wondering if we are interested in enrolling with them. As for our low level compared to the Hunter School standard, it seems Nero has a way of helping us. She said in the letter that we just need to hunt a few monsters along the way and bring the bodies intact."

"I wanna go!" Breno tossed the book he was reading aside, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. He had few interests in life, one of them was reading, but what he wanted most in life was to see the limit he could reach as a hunter.

"I knew you would say that." Jana poked out her tongue and then smiled.

"I'm going too." Jair had tried to act more relaxed, but he knew he had a way of getting them into Nan Empire Hunter School, and he got excited about the possibilities.

"You boys." Jana shook her head and sighed. She put both hands on her hips and said a little loudly and seriously, "Since it's like that, I'm coming too. And since we've decided, we must go as soon as possible. Although I trust Nero, we can't keep her waiting for too long, as we don't know what method she has to help us, and we don't know how long it would take for us to get stronger thanks to her, either."

"I have some savings, I'll take it. As for clothes, I have half of my clothes on my Hunter Card," Breno said, "I'm just going to get a few more things and say goodbye to my mom."

"Since it's decided, me and Jair will also tell our parents and pack our things." Jana took the role of leader and began to issue orders. "In five hours we will meet at the west gate of the city."

"Okay." Breno left shortly thereafter.

After Breno left, Jair laughed and said to Jana, "You look really happy, Jana."

"It's just your imagination." Jana denied it flatly.

"I know... And here I thought you were happy to be able to travel with your childhood sweetheart..." Jair said sarcastically.

"Jaaaaiiirr!" Jana hissed and gritted her teeth in anger. She ran after Jair, but he was faster than she was.

"Come get me! Can't stand the truth? Haha ha!" Jair ran laughing towards his room and closed the door.

"Jair, mark what I'm saying, you'll pay for provoking me!" Jana kicked the locked door open and snorted toward her bedroom.

'So fierce~' Jair didn't take his sister's words seriously. He laughed at the memory of her flushed, angry expression, and laughed out loud.
