I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

“Uwaaaaaaa——!”

Startled by the sudden sound behind her, Regu screamed and scrambled a few steps before turning around to see Yuhaka standing right behind her, carrying a basket.

"Yoo, Yoyo?!"

Yuhaka glanced at Regu, who was sitting on the ground with her legs spread apart, then revealed her large tail, the tip of which swelled up like a pinecone-shaped power organ, and said to Regu:

"Regu, do you need to charge?"

After saying that, the electric organ at the tip of Yhwach's tail emitted a crackling sound of electricity. Seeing the electric organ on Yhwach's large tail, Reg trembled violently, blushed, and ran away, shouting:

"No, there's no cure!"

Watching Regu run away with her little bottom exposed, Ehaka tilted her head in confusion, looking a bit bewildered. However, Ehaka quickly put these things out of her mind and went to the old beast hot spring.

By the way, the electric organ on Yuhaka's big tail comes from a fish that lives in the fourth layer of the Abyss, a kind of electric eel. That fish has an electric organ in its tail, and Yuhaka obtained the essence of that creature from that fish.

However, its power was not that high; at least it did not unleash an attack like a thunder spear.

In the hot spring, Yuhaka stripped naked and soaked in the water, watching the small fish eat away the dirt on his skin. When the fish had eaten most of it, Yuhaka took out a basket and scooped into the hot spring, and suddenly a whole bunch of small fish were in Yuhaka's basket.

After wiping his drool, Yuhaka put on his clothes, took the basket full of small fish, and headed home, intending to make them into dried fish.

As for the other small fish in the hot spring, there's no need to worry. There are plenty of them, so there's no need to worry about Yuhaka eating them all, at least... for now...

...Yohaka is making fried anchovies...

Tonight, Riko, brought here by Yuhaka, pointed at Regu with her glasses flashing a bright light and said:

"I know! Regu must be an invading robot sent to invade the land!"

Upon hearing Riko's words, everyone present looked at her awkwardly, except for Yuhaka, who maintained an "OwO" expression as if she hadn't heard anything.

Seeing that no one believed her, Rico, looking sullen, crossed her arms and said:

"Look, the mysterious power that can melt even fossil trees instantly, and the body that is unharmed by being cleaved by knives and burned by fire, it all seems to be true."

Nanachi, who was standing to the side, waved her hand and said:

"Didn't Riko say that Regu saved you two back then? If that's true, Regu has no reason to save you, right?"

Hearing Nanachi's words, Riko smiled confidently, adjusted her glasses, and said:

"Of course, it's because [she used aggressive power to save two poor girls, resulting in the loss of her energy and memories, and then, through our help and interactions...]"

Rico suddenly slammed her hand on the table, startling the little girls present. Pointing at Regu, she said:

"That's right! It's [awakening humanity's compassion!]"

Upon hearing Riko's words, the little girls present fell silent. Regu, recalling herself being electrocuted, thought to herself speechlessly:

How can one develop compassion after being treated like that...? Such an imagination is utterly hopeless...

Chapter 46 [Time Flies, Two Months Later]

In the town of Os, Yuhaka and Regu were carrying a bag of Blanket Mole on their backs and walking towards a certain alley as always. Regu looked at the scenery outside and felt a little nostalgic.

Regu has been living with Nanachi and Yuhaka for almost two months now. During this time, besides following Yuhaka around hunting, Regu has been helping to collect some game.

Of course, in order to regain her memories, Regu also searched around the Abyss for any seemingly familiar places to see if she could recover her memories. Near Nanachi's house on the fourth floor, in a cemetery, Regu suddenly saw a place full of white flowers. At the same time, Regu saw a strange thing stuck on a small hill.

However, the scene only flashed by, and Regu wondered if she was seeing some kind of illusion, so she didn't tell Yuhaka and the others about it.

Wearing a cloak and hood, Regu raised an eyebrow as she looked at the street. It seemed much livelier now, and in some places, large balloons were being launched. Regu looked at Ehaka and said:

"Youyou, do you think Auster Town has become a bit more lively today?"

Hearing Reig's words, Yuhaka tilted her head and looked around at the bustling town of Os, then looked at Reig and said to her:

"Hmm, I don't know. Okay, we can ask Rico after this is over."

Hearing what Yuhaka said, Regu nodded in agreement with Yuhaka's idea. Soon, Yuhaka and Regu handed the bag containing the Blanket Mouse and Hammerbeak to the kitchen uncle.

After handing it over to the kitchen uncle, Yuhaka sniffed around looking for Riko, but before Yuhaka could find Riko, Riko herself came to him.

"Ah!? Yuu! Regu! Come quick! Uncle Hubble's team is back!"

Riko arrived in front of Ehaka and Regu, waving her hands excitedly and saying to them:

"They've returned in triumph! Let's hurry to the pier to welcome them!"

Yuhaka and Regu looked at Riko with puzzled expressions and asked:

"Um...Rico, who is this Hubble?"

"Mmm OwO!"

Riko, having regained her senses, nodded and said in response to Ehaka and Regu's questions:

"Oh right, you don't know who Uncle Hubble is, but you should know Aunt Raffi's spice shop, right? Uncle Hubble is Aunt Raffi's husband!"

Upon hearing the name Aunt Laffie, the two little girls, Yuhaka and Regu, nodded familiarly. Yuhaka almost always bought spices and similar items from Aunt Laffie's spice shop, while Regu was brought there by Yuhaka because Aunt Laffie left a very good impression, so Regu remembered her.

However, without waiting for Yuhaka and Regu's reply, Riko immediately grabbed their hands and ran alongside them, saying:

"Alright! Let's hurry up! It would be a shame to miss it."

"Huh? Huh!? Riko, slow down!"

"Huh!? OwO!?"

Soon, led by Riko, Yuhaka and Regu arrived at the Great Pier, a location near the Abyss in the town of Os, a place that also serves as a welcome point for returning cave explorers.

"Uh...it's packed with people..."

"Hmm, it's so crowded..."

"QwQ~"

On the plaza of the Grand Pier, Riko, Yuhaka, and Reig, three little girls, were squeezed together by the crowd. Suddenly, Reig stared blankly at the crowd in the distance. Riko, who was next to Reig, looked at her and said:

"Regu? What's wrong? Do you need to use the restroom?"

Regu pointed to the crowd in the distance and said to Riko:

"No, Riko, the crowd in front is making a ruckus..."

Hearing Reig's words, Riko's eyes lit up, and she said to Eug and Reig:

"We need to hurry! Regu! Yuu! Uncle Hubble and the others might have found some incredible relics!"

Rico, leading Eug and Regu, slowly approached the front of the crowd. Looking at Uncle Hubble, who was talking to someone dressed in black on the pier, Rico said to Regu and Eug:

"Ah! It's Uncle Hubble! Uncle Hubble!"

As she spoke, Riko waved in the direction of Uncle Hubble, while Yuhaka and Regu looked at the bearded man and said:

"That bearded guy must be Uncle Hubble, right? Hmm, what's that?"

Yuhaka and Regu had excellent visibility and could clearly see what Uncle Hubble was holding.

"A flute? A white flute?"

"White Flute?!"

Upon hearing Reigu's words, Riko's face immediately lit up with excitement. Just then, a resident of Os Town shouted:

"Hey! I know whose white flute that is! It's Ryza's! Ryza the Annihilator's!"

The surrounding crowd immediately began to murmur amongst themselves. Neither Yuhaka nor Regu knew who "Annihilation of Lysa" was. Regu, standing beside Riko, noticed the quiet Riko and said with some surprise:

"What's wrong, Rico? It's rare to see someone so honest like that."

Hearing Reig's words, Riko looked at Reig with a calm expression and said:

"Ryza is...my mother's name..."

………………

A few days after Uncle Hubble led the cave explorers' expedition team back, Riko, who was cleaning, suddenly heard Captain Gilluo calling her.

"Rico, we have news from the Cave Explorers headquarters. We have been granted permission to read the letter. You need to be at headquarters before 18 PM. Hurry up."

Upon hearing Captain Gilluo's words, Riko paused for a moment, then reacted and said to Captain Gilluo:

"Ah! I understand! I'll be going now!"

With that, Riko put down her broom and ran towards the headquarters of the Cave Explorers. As Riko screamed and fell down in the corridor, Captain Gilluo sighed with a speechless expression.

...Riko is running...

The headquarters of the Cave Explorers in the eastern district of Auschwitz.

After the guide who was leading the way for Riko put down the stone lantern, he said to Riko:

"Please do not touch directly..."

Rico looked at the notebooks on the stone platform with a surprised expression. The drawings were filled with sketches and records of creatures she had never seen before, creatures that were not recorded in any encyclopedia.

But in the next two drawings, Riko saw something that shocked her, because there were drawings on those two drawings that clearly resembled Regu and Yuhaka.

"Regu? Yuuyu?...How could this be?"

Between the two drawings was a small note with words that puzzled Rico.

Waiting at the bottom of Naraku...

Chapter 47 [Ryza's Strange Records]

The strange undead encountered on the sixth floor had two pairs of arms and a large tail, with a pair of cute cat ears on its head. Its body was basically composed of non-human parts made up of shells and fur.

She was wearing clothing made of some kind of creature's fur, and surprisingly, she spoke the Common Language when I tried to communicate with her.

[That kid is an amazing cook! Incredibly good at cooking!! And the food is incredibly delicious! That kid's cooking is so good, I really want to take that kid home and go on an adventure with them!]

[Most importantly, that kid was actually holding my Infinity Hammer, uh... it must be a relic very similar to mine, right? After all, the Infinity Hammer in that kid's hand looks much better than mine, umm... I'm not reconciled!]

[Your name is something like Yuhaka? It doesn't sound like a girl's name, so let's just call you Yuyu!]

——————【Recorder - Lysa】

........................

After leaving the Cave Raiders' headquarters in Os Town, Rico kept thinking about the contents of the document.

"Youyou...has she met my mother?"

Rico clenched the paper-like object she had secretly taken from the Cave Raiders' headquarters.
