A Curious Case Of Mobs Extra

When both of them got transported, Hikiguya already holding the assassin from the back of his neck. The killing intent emitted by Hikiguya froze the assassin. He can't even answer correctly about Hikiguya's question on what happened to Yukino and Yui. In anger, Hikiguya broke the assassin's neck and throws the body to the side of the cave they transported.

Devastated about his loses, adding the stress force on his body by the instant power-up, Hikiguya body shut down. Hikiguya closes his eyes and falls asleep. The state of his body forced him to sleep for several days, three days to be exact. Not until he was waking up by the one he loves he open his eyes. If by a stroke of fate, Yui and Yukino don't find Hikiguya, he probably will fall asleep for eternity and until to the end of time.

For Yukino and Yui found Hikiguya was also because of a stroke of fate and luck too. Yukino who just finish learning the familiar summoning before coming to this island uses her familiar to track down Hikiguya. She uses her familiar heighten sense of smells to navigate the dungeon and avoiding monster as much as possible. Even then, it took the familiar three days to done it.

The smell of decomposing corpse is the one that attracts Yukino's familiar into this particular cave. Both Yukino and Yui felt dreaded and apprehensive about their chance to found Hikiguya safe after three days of searching. Their supplies also dwindling and the dungeon type is also not helpful since it is an underground dungeon type. The underground dungeon type usually filled with dangerous to consume monsters or magical beast.

When Yukino's familiar found the smell, their heart already steeled to accept the worst possible outcome. Yui already sobbing about the possibilities of finding Hikiguya corpse. No matter what, they need to check it out. If their loved one died, it falls on them to buried and rest him to peace. The possibilities of seeing Hikiguya alive not even float around both of the girl's minds since as far as they know, only three of them got caught by the summoning circle. Well, both of the girls due to some surprise.

A good news in the mids of misfortune falling on them. Yukino and Yui have been on a continuous state of alertness, only getting some rest to the b.a.r.e minimum. Sleeping in tandem, standing guard when the other asleep. Their main source of food is the noodles and half of the roasted horned rabbit furnish by another person who tag along on this training incursion. By a stroke of luck, Yukino arrives just before the dungeon summoning, and bringing the necessary supplies for both of the girls to continued living even though it only enough for three days with careful rationing.

After three days, both of them are working on fume and sheer will power. Finding Hikiguya sleeping peacefully on that particular caves prove needed emotional support for both of them to continue fighting for their life. Both of the girls rush toward the man both of them love in this life and on the last life too.

Yukino rest Hikiguya's head on her l.a.p and Yui sit beside him while softly patting his cheek and calling him her nickname long given by both of the girls. Tears came rushing down on the girl's face. The silent cave echoes with the soft calls of the guy name. After some time, even the calls slowly fading, the tears rushing faster, the guy finally open his eyes.

"Are both of you real?" asked the guy after he opens his eyes. His hand reaches the cheek of both girls trying to feel if whether what he sees are illusionary. "You are real." said the guy when he can feel the wet cheeks from crying for him. It took some time for him to slowly get up from his long sleep.

"Yes, we were real. we are here with you." answered the girl. The replied voice was so soft and the sobbing sound never helps in determining who is the one answers the question but the intention is clear. The guy knows what needs to be done and hugs both of the girls at the same time. The girls sobbing became louder and they stay hugging for quite sometimes.

"Hey, Hatori's pup, listen here," called the familiar for Yukino's attention. "Listen!" finally the familiar howled after losing patient watching the drama happening before him.

"What?" Yukino hollered back toward her familiar.

"Dammit pup, do you want my help or not?" The familiar beseeched the urgency of their current situation.

"Fine, what is it?"

"I found a hole on the dungeon barrier. Probably went through into the outside." Stated the familiar.

What! all three of them shouted in response. The revelation gives them hope

"Can we get out? escape from the dungeon?" interjected Hikiguya.

"Yes, if your size around six-inch wide. The hole probably around that size all the way, maybe even smaller." The familiar explained. "So just forget about it, I can't go back to the Frost compound because of your abysmal summoning range, so just forget about it."

"Wait, There is Mobs...we can tell Mobs about what happened. Maybe he can help us inform to someone else for a rescue." Hikiguya voiced his concerned.

"Who?" Asked Yui and Yukino about the guy Hikiguya mentioned.

"The guy who came with us for this training. The guy with a dark? ... blond? hair. Okay, that is weird. How come I can't remember his face?"

"Oh shit!!! I forgot about that Extra guy. I promise to check on him today. Master gonna have my head if she know I left one of you out there alone. Snowy! Go find that guy and tell them about what happened." Ordered Yukino.

"Damn woman! It's Lord snow, not Snowy." Protest the familiar. He changed his form into a smaller size and move into the hole located on the corner of the cave as soon as possibles.

"That is a big wolf." Stated Hikiguya.

"Nah, the smaller size is his real size, he can get temporarily bigger by feeding my mana. I got him when he still just a pup. They called themselves a Direlord wolf, but in reality they more like a cute fox at most." Yukino explained about the real circ.u.mstance of her familiar.

"Ohh...shouldn't you explained more about what to say to Mobs?" Hikiguya asked again.

"Don't worry, we can talk telepathically," Yukino answered Hikiguya's question. "Say, we have not eaten properly for the last three days. Can you make something for us?" Yukino asked while fidgeting and blushing about their situations.

Hikiguya with a strong spirit stated to take out the supplies from his dimensional bag to prepare some food for three of them. He take out the portable stove he bought on the main island before and start to cooks some chicken porridge. They has been starve from eating proper food for almost three days. Starting with a solid food may damaging for their digestion system.

In the meantime, Yukino and Yui start to talk about the decomposing corpse. After asking Hikiguya about the corpse, he decide to tell them the event that happened after both of Yukino and Yui gone missing. Hikiguya still doesn't quite understand what happened to him exactly, but when that guy starts to attack him, he reacts and somehow defeated the guy. Looking at the corpse condition, Yui and Yukino knows what exactly happened. Someone is targeting Hikiguya Hachuman.

The Somerborne and Frostborne are not just normal clans, they quite involved in the underground trade. The life of cultivators are never clean, it's decorated with blood, tears, and pains. However, not many decided to involve themselves with the assassination trade. For cultivators, to gain maximum effect during a conflict in their cultivation is from a confrontation. A direct prolong fight is the best way to increase cultivation and that somehow contradicts the assassination method.

Assassination deems useless in increasing the cultivation base because of the short fighting time among the assassins and their preys. So, most cultivators avoid it unless they have their reason for doing it. As an official heir for both clans, Yukino and Yui are knowledgeable about how to spot an assassin and how to avoid being targeted by them. From the way they wear their clothes until how they walk around other people, all of those will be factored into determining if someone is an assassin or not.

Regarding the corpses, his weapon is dead give away indicating him as an assassins. He wields a pair of daggers decorated with a Kenshin Eyes' mark. A symbol of an assassin's ancient order. An organization that has been destroyed five thousand years ago, but still revered by today's assassins.

Both of them decide to take it to their family about what happened and will let the clan settles it for them.

Not long after, the food is served by Hikiguya. A hot and salty porridge is what they need to calm down after an intense three days of surviving. Before they start to eat, Yukino and Yui decide to clean up the cave. It appears the cave is quite suitable for becoming the beachhead for clearing the dungeon. Having a strategic and suitable beachhead is the key of clearing the dungeon according to what Yukino and Yui were taught by their tutor.

Clan children was taught on the fundamentals of surviving the dungeon summoning from as early as five years old. Dungeon summoning is a very common occurrence in Marra. For some unknown reason, only the young people were summons by the dungeons.

Oldest known human summoned by dungeon is twenty years old but he never survives the summoning. Scholars hypothesize that the older someone is, the harder the dungeon will be when clearing it. However, no one knows a method to prove that theory, so it left as a theory for now. Not for the lack of trying but from the lack of definitive result from the experiment.

After the corpse was clean, Yukino and Yui proceed to make a simple sweep around the caves to avoid any unknown dangered creeping around without them knowing. What they found was something more valuable beyond any treasure known right now for them. They found an origin spring budding around the corner of the cave.

With the discoveries, now they for sure the cave choose by them are 100% secure since the origin spring indicating the area will be becoming a safe area in the future and can be set as a starting area for a dungeon delving in the future.

It showed how luck played a significant factor in the cultivation world. If they were unlucky, Yukino will never arrive at the nick of time thus the probability of Yui Somerbond surviving the three days without wand and supplies is quite low. It also reduces the probability of her finding Hikiguya and possibly the chance of clearing the dungeon.

They move their camp closer toward the origin spring start dining on the chicken porridge and salty scrambled eggs scattered on top of it. A pinch of ground yellow pepper for a little acidic spicy taste. They eat without worry and burden of the world. Just enjoying being with someone they love.

They eat with a happy expression and filled with unrelated small talk while waiting for a replied from Snowy or Lord Snow as indicated by the familiar.

"Wait, Snowy just make contact with that guy. Moby something." Declared Yukino.

"Its Mobs, his name is mobs, Yukino!"

"Fine, fine, I heard you." Yukino acknowledges what Hikiguya asked her to do. "Snowy, tell him I can't meet with him right now, so asked him to survive by himself for now. Tell him to stay safe and run for senior Memphis if he is in danger."

"You should bribe him with something, If somehow master know about this, we're dead." Insinuated Yui about what will happen if their master knows about they abandoned Mobs on their own.

"Yeah, I should do that. Wait, I lent Mobs something. That book and its volume should be enough." Thought Yukino. "Hey, snowy, tell him I will give those books to him after all of this end. We may take more than a month to clear the dungeon, so maybe do some, I don't know, threatening him a little bit so he doesn't telltale about what happened to Master Shizuka."

"Snowy! if you don't do what I said, I will tell your mom you slacking on duty." Declared Yukino suddenly. As a prideful Direlord Wolf, becoming a mere messenger is beneath him. So, Lord Snow is very hesitating to do what was asked by Yukino. It appears, Yukino does not only know how to play and manipulate men but can blackmail a familiar too.

"Hikiguya, you should eat too. Open your mouth." Yui asked Hikiguya while ignoring what Yukino was doing. Talking and arguing with herself. Like a crazy person thought Yui.

In Yui's opinion, having a familiar sure has some advantages, but the drawback is much more in her opinion. Because of that, Yui refuses to learn the familiar summoning even though her family can summon a Giant Edo Salamander.

A giant salamander capable of controlling fire and lava. For Yui, talking to your familiar using telepathic connection is like being a crazy person. So, she refused to do it despite the soliciting and prodding by her family.

"Hikki, Yui. Snowy said Mobs just asked if we have enough supplies like drinking water, sugar, salt or hygiene. What do I say?" Yukino asked about the weird question by Mobs.

"Just humor him, tell him the truth." urged Hikiguya.

Hikiguya with his vast experience dealing with people during their previous life before transmigrated here already expected what Mobs trying to do. He just doesn't know how yet. Yukino then proceed to explain their current situation. The fact is, only Hikiguya has the necessary supplies. The fact is, Master Shizuka ordered Yui and Yukino from staying on the island not more than three days to avoid both of them helping Hikiguya.

Therefore, they only bring some essential and limited supplies.

"Huh, Mobs just asked Snowy if he can bring the supplies to us, If the supplies are only a six-inch-wide, it sure has no problem."

"Dimensional bag, Mobs plans to deliver the supplies in a dimensional bag." Commented Yui after seeing how Yukino becoming excited about the prospect of having a fully supplies dungeon clearing.

All three of them sit down and brainstorm about what they need. Hikiguya want spices, condiments, dried grains, lot of salts, another portable stove and a lot of process food such as hotdogs, bacon, and many more. Both Yukino and Yui ordered the hygiene product for their monthly need and their other hygiene needs.

After some discussion, all three of them agreed to buy an enchanted tent that provided with several partitions to be used by them and complete with an enchanting bathroom. The tent is probably the priciest among their orders, but it is essential for their mental health. They will face unimaginable stress from a prolong dungeon clearing conflicts.

After back and forth between Mobs and the trio, the list completed. Mobs inform them the ordered will be delivered on the hour by the supplier. By Hikiguya estimation, Lord snow will came back somewhere around three hour, so Hikiguya start to cooks something again. They can afford to enjoy more food now.

Hikiguya plans to cook a special homemade Japanese dinner, the Chanko Nabe. The base for the Chanko Nabe will be a miso-based broth. That is the easy part, the hard part is ingredients preparation. The noodles, the meatball, the sardine ball, the fish cake, the rice, the tofu and many other ingredients that Hikiguya decide to put in it.

Food ingredients in this world are cheap as long as they are level zero and level one ingredients. For this Chanko Nabe, Hikiguya plan to use the leftover horned rabbit hunt by Yui, the chicken fish bought by him several days ago and Elephiken meat. Elephiken is a level zero monster that people on Marra rears as the main source of cheap meat and eggs, it looks like a chicken but the size is bigger, near the size of an ostrich. The difference between an Ostrich and an Elephiken is, the Elephiken has a more bulky body and short neck but an Ostrich has a lean strong body and a long neck. Although the eggs for both of them are quite similar in size instead of pure white like an Ostrich egg, the Elephiken eggs are brown and its yolk is smaller than an Ostrich yolk.

Hikiguya start the ingredients preparation but making the meatball. Hikiguya decided to combine some of the rabbit meat and Elephiken meat just to see if it is good or not. He tasted the meat separately and both of them are delicious on their own, but never combining both of them into a meatball. Experimenting like this is what made Hikiguya loved his job before all of this transmigrated business happened. He's sure missing his family there in the old world, but he knows his sisters will be safe there with her husband and her children too.

Before meeting both Yui and Yukino here in this world. Hikiguya plans to find somehow a method to went back home to his family. However, right now he contends on staying here on this world with both of them. Two people, he loves dearly. He doesn't know what will happen when both of them asked him to choose which one he wants to get married in the future. What he know is, he loves both of them and want to enjoy their love as long as they can in ignorance bliss.

When both types of meat grounded, Hikiguya starts to cooking some rice to replace the noodles and preparing the miso base broth for the Chanko Nabe. After the broth boils, Hikiguya starts to put chunks of hard to cook vegetables such as carrots, and potatoes. Hikiguya then proceed to make a meatball from grounded horned rabbit mix with grounded Elephiken meat.

When that finish, He starts to put mushrooms, tofu, and vegetables, in the broth to start cooking the ingredients. The dice chicken fish will cooked last since the fish is so easily broken down and maybe some of them want to eat it raw like sushi.

As a finishing touch, Hikiguya scoop the rice onto the bowls. Calling both of them to eat is easy enough since Hikiguya need to throw out both of them for a couple of time during the cooking process. They eat those Nabe with a clear enjoyment and relaxing atmospheres.

"Damn woman! While I'm working my a.s.s off, you just eating delicious food like you not in dungeon." Interjected a growled voice. It seems like Lord Snow was arrived.

"Welcome back," said Yui.

"Relax, I keep some for you too. Hikiguya made a mix of Elephiken meat and horned rabbit meat into a meatball. They are delicious." Consoled Yukino with a grin toward her familiar. Either the action is intentional or not the bribes work. The Direlord Wolf eyes sparkling with the eagerness to tried the new dish made by his new master's toy.

"Yes, Lord Snow. I made enough for you too." Stated Hikiguya while putting some of the Chanko Nabe into a shallow bowl for the Lord Snow.

"Change into your real size, You took too much space already." Ordered Yukino.

"Fine," answered Lord snow while walking toward the bowl after changing into his real size. A Direlord wolf size is not the same size as a fox claimed by Yukino. They are slightly bigger than a fox but smaller than a normal wolf. The Dire title was given by cultivators because they somehow have an ability to leech mana from other source and change their size into twenty-five feet tall if the wolf is old and experience enough to handle the mana pump into them.

"Hey Snowy, do Mobs able to ordered the wizard tent?" asked Yui about her ordered since initially the tent purchase is her idea.

"Don't know, don't care." replied Lord Snow nonchalantly. "but, he asked me to said something to all of you."

"what is it?" Hikiguya inquired.

"Well, I will say as he said verbatim," said Lord Snow. "Senior Yukino, senior Yui, and Hikichiman. I hoped that all of you are safe and sound. Considered what you ordered is a gift to make sure you have a safe and bountiful dungeon clearing experience. I sincerely hoped that both seniors can put aside your differences and work together as a team along with Hikinugaya. Be safe and fighting!!! P/s: Seniors, did you know, the sect law does permit multiple spouses. So, let say a man can have more than a wife as long as he has the capabilities. Meaning he has money and a good cultivation base. Thank You." Narrated Lord Snow on what a certain unrecognizable extra character asked him to say in front of those three people. As soon as he says the word, Lord Snow unsummoned himself and leaves a six-inch wide magical dimensional bag on the cave floor.

All three of those people froze not saying anything about what they heard. unbeknown to Hikiguya, both Yukino and Yui already shake hands making a secret deal among themselves pertaining to the wellbeing of the man they love. It appears what the enemy of Frost and Somer clan afraid of just happened. The unification of the two clans.
