I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After a while...

"Ohhh! This is delicious!"

Claire looked at the Rathalos tenderloin in her hand and said this. Hearing Claire's words, Yuhaka nodded and said:

"Rathalos tenderloin, it's delicious OwO~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Linslet broke out in a cold sweat and said:

Did I just hear something terrible?

Fiana, looking puzzled at the mysterious white, springy ingredient in the soup spoon, asked Yuhaka with some curiosity:

"Hey, Yu-Yu-chan, what is this white, pudding-like square thing?"

Hearing Fiana's question, Yuhaka, who was chewing on enoki mushrooms, also ate his own enoki mushrooms and explained to Fiana:

"That's tofu~ OwO~"

As he spoke, Yuhaka imitated the springy texture of tofu. Seeing Yuhaka's performance, everyone present almost spat out their food. Mira, watching Yuhaka's tofu imitation, asked:

"Tofu? I think that's an ingredient only found in the Kuna Empire and some other small country, right?"

When asked about Mira's question, Yuhaka shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Meanwhile, Esther, who was sitting next to Yuhaka, seemed to really like tofu. She was eating tofu with great relish, muttering to herself "tofu, tofu..." with a blank expression.

Chapter 751 [Youyou: "It smells so bad..."]

After finishing their hot pot meal, everyone took a shower and prepared to go to bed. Claire pulled Alice, who had wanted to shower with Yuhaka and the others, to go on patrol. Yuhaka, Anna, Esther, and Mira then went to take a shower.

After taking a bath, Yuhaka and the others returned to their resting place at the base. Claire and Alice, who were waiting at the base, went to take a bath after seeing that Yuhaka and the others had finished bathing. At the same time, the task of guarding the base was handed over to Yuhaka and the others, while Fiana and Linslet went to strengthen the barrier to prevent the Four Gods Squad from ambushing them.

While Claire and Alice went to take a bath, Yuhaka and the others waited at the outpost for Fiana and Linslet to return. Just then, Fiana ran out of the forest. Her clothes looked like they had been torn by something sharp, and she looked quite disheveled.

Panting, Fiana ran towards Yuhaka and the others, calling out to them as she ran:

"No, this is bad! The Four Gods Squad is attacking!"

Mira and Anna were slightly surprised to hear Fiana's shout, but upon closer inspection, it was quite normal for the Four Gods to chase after them. However, at that moment, Yuhaka suddenly took out Baradion, which had transformed into a hunting bow, and aimed an arrow at Fiana, who was running towards them.

Anna and the others around them were also caught off guard. The rocket that Yuhaka fired was already flying towards Fiana. Fiana was shocked to see this. Then, a huge steel knight appeared in front of Fiana and raised his huge shield to block Yuhaka's attack.

Seeing this, Anna and the others quickly reacted and looked at Yuhaka, asking:

"Wait, Youyou!? Why did you suddenly attack your own teammate?!"

Regarding Anna and the others' questions, Yuhaka stared warily at Fiana, who had summoned a holy elf resembling a knight, and addressed the people present:

"She is not Fiana."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Mira and Anna both looked puzzled. Then, Yuhaka pinched his nose, frowned, and looked at "Fiana," who had summoned the Holy Elf Knight, and said:

"That Fiana, during the previous battle, I smelled the same odor on the person with the stick—a foul-smelling elf aura, and a stench of feces. It was so disgusting..."

Anna and Mira were both embarrassed after hearing Yuhaka's answer. Could he really tell that Fiana was a fake just by looking at those things?

Meanwhile, Fiana, whom Yuhaka had identified as a fake, suddenly chuckled. Hearing Fiana's laughter, Yuhaka and the others looked at the imposter. After laughing, the fake Fiana clapped her hands and said to Yuhaka:

"As expected of Scarlett's ace, he recognized me right away..."

Upon hearing the imposter Fiana's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at the imposter. Then, he raised his hunting bow again and shot an arrow at Fiana, showing no intention of listening to the imposter's nonsense. The imposter Fiana was also surprised by Yuhaka's unreasonable behavior, continuing the fight before even letting her finish speaking. Was this something a human would do?!

At that moment, Claire and Alice rushed out of the bathhouse, their clothes unbuttoned.

When Claire and Alice saw Yuhaka blasting Fiana with his hunting bow, they were both dumbfounded. How did their own people suddenly start fighting?

"Wait, Youyou, what's going on here?!"

Regarding Claire's question, Anna also told Claire and Alice:

“Miss Claire, Master is attacking the person impersonating Miss Fiana.”

Hearing Anna's explanation, Claire and Alice were also stunned. How could someone impersonate Fiana?

However, after Yuhaka stopped attacking, Claire and Alice saw a heavily armored knight-like Holy Elf holding a shield and a one-handed sword. Behind the Holy Elf, Fiana was looking at Yuhaka and the others with a mocking smile.

"Is that...Fiana's spirit???"

Regarding Alice's question, Claire, who was standing to the side, shook her head and said:

"I don't know, but Fiana once said that she couldn't summon spirits, so it's obvious that this guy is an imposter."

The imposter Fiana, upon hearing Claire's words, showed an "I see" expression and looked at Yuhaka and the others, saying:

"I see. No wonder that little girl couldn't summon any spirits. It turns out she can't summon spirits at all."

Upon hearing what the imposter Fiana said, Claire and the others realized that the imposter had also encountered Fiana and Linslet.

Claire immediately revealed her flaming whip, looking at the imposter Fiana with a serious expression, and said:

"What did you do to Fianna and Linslet?!"

Regarding Claire's question, the imposter Fiana looked at Claire and the others with a slight upturn of her lips and said:

"Of course, we'd like to invite you to our Purgatory Apostles' stronghold! Oh, and as for that little girl with the bow, she's probably still playing with my pets~"

Upon hearing the words of the imposter Fiana, Claire and Alice suddenly launched an attack on her. Having learned from her previous experience of being ambushed by Yuhaka, the imposter Fiana was already on guard against them. After Claire and Alice launched their attack, the imposter Fiana manipulated the Holy Elf Knight to block Claire and Alice's attacks.

However, when the imposter Fiana saw Claire and Alice's "plan in progress.jpg" expressions, she immediately sensed something was wrong. In the next instant, Yuhaka appeared behind the imposter Fiana, raising the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and slashing down fiercely. The imposter Fiana, caught off guard, was instantly cut in half by Yuhaka.

There was no bloody scene after Fiana was cut in half. Instead, she turned into a pile of dark, glowing dust and disappeared without a trace. Seeing this familiar and annoying way of leaving the scene, Eyhaka was reminded of the scene when he captured a Pokémon. His face immediately turned ugly. Then, Eyhaka sniffed the lingering scent.

Yuhaka decided that next time she smelled that scent, she would beat the girl up badly and see if she would dare to lie to Yuyu again.

Chapter 752 [Youyou: O^O]

After the imposter Fiana was cleaved in two by Yuhaka, the Holy Elf Knight, like the imposter Fiana, vanished without a trace, turning to dust.

After seeing the fake Fiana and the fake elf disappear, Claire said with a serious expression:

"It seems this is a stand-in. If that guy is right, Linslet is now being harassed, and Fiana has been kidnapped."

Alice, standing to the side, looked at Claire with a puzzled expression and said:

"But why did they kidnap Fiana?"

Claire shook her head at Alice's question and said:

"I don't know, but it's very likely a trap to lure us over there."

Then Claire looked at Yuhaka and the others and said:

"Mira, we're going to rescue Linslet and Fiana later. We might have to fight the Apostles of Purgatory. Do you want to come with us?"

Upon hearing Claire's question, Mira nodded and said:

“I’m going too. After all, we’ve already signed an alliance agreement. Even without that agreement, as a friend, I would still go with you.”

After hearing Mira's words, Claire scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and said:

"Uh, well..."

Claire coughed and said to Yuhaka and the others:

"Alright, let's get going now. Linslet and the others are waiting for us to rescue them."

Those present nodded in understanding after hearing Claire's words, and then they set off to find Linslet.

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

Somewhere in the forest...

As Yuhaka's hunting bow fired dragon-hunting arrows that pinned the demon elves to the ground, Linslet, who had been besieged, saw that the demon elf army around her had been dealt with, jumped down from the tree and joined Yuhaka and the others.

"Phew, you've finally arrived. If you're here, it means Fiana is safe, right?"

As Linslet climbed down from the tree, she looked around at the figures but didn't see Fiana, which puzzled her. She asked:

"Huh? Where's Fiana? She didn't come with you?"

Regarding Linslet's question, Claire sighed helplessly and told Linslet about Fiana being kidnapped by the Purgatory Apostles. After hearing Claire's words, Linslet understood that the demon elves had deliberately not stopped Fiana before.

"No wonder those demons seemed to be focusing their attention on me; so their initial target was Fiana?"

Thinking about all this, Linslet looked confused and scratched her chin, saying:

"But why did they kidnap Fiana? Was it simply to lure us to the territory of the Purgatory Apostles?"

Claire, who had her arms crossed, shook her head and said:

"Their purpose is unclear, but it is a fact that they kidnapped Fiana."

Hearing Claire's words, Linslet also seemed a little angry and said:

"Those Purgatory Apostles are really troublesome. They caused us trouble before, and now they're causing us trouble again."

Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. He was still upset about the big guy running away last time, and he wouldn't be satisfied until he beat up that big guy and that smelly fellow.

Afterwards, Yuhaka and the others also headed towards the stronghold of the Purgatory Apostles.

Although the people who kidnapped Fiana didn't leave any traces, and Claire and the others weren't entirely sure of the exact location of the Purgatory Apostles' stronghold, only knowing its general area, they still had a way to find Fiana's location.

Linslet and the others felt quite embarrassed watching Claire let Yuhaka smell Fiana's black stockings. After Yuhaka sniffed them a few times, he also smelled the lingering scent in the air.

Soon, Yuhaka jogged off in a certain direction, and Claire and the others followed after him.

After Yuhaka and the others had walked for a while, Yuhaka suddenly stopped. Seeing Yuhaka stop, Claire and the others also stopped and looked at her, asking:

"What's wrong, Youyou? Have you discovered something?"

Upon hearing Claire's words, Yuhaka stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look at a certain spot as if he were staring at something.

"Youyou seems to smell the enemy."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone immediately became alert, and Claire then asked Yuhaka:

"Youyou, where are the enemies?"

After hearing Claire's words, Yuhaka pointed to a bush. Seeing the direction Yuhaka was pointing, Claire made a gesture to Linslet. After seeing Claire's gesture, Linslet took out the Ice Bow and then shot several arrows at the spot Yuhaka was pointing to.

Just then, a figure rushed out and destroyed the ice arrow that Linslet had shot out. The figure that came out was none other than the white tiger "Xiao" from the Four Gods team that Claire and the others were familiar with.

After Xiao's swung gauntlets and the resulting gale destroyed Linslet's ice arrow, Claire and Linslet were completely bewildered. They had initially thought that the person who appeared was a member of the Purgatory Apostles who had kidnapped Fiana, but the appearance of Xiao, one of the Four Gods, caught them off guard.

Xiao, who was wearing boxing gloves, was also dumbfounded when he saw Yuhaka and her large group. Xiao originally thought it was just a patrol team of one or two people, but he did not expect to see six people here, and they were the Scarlett team that had perfectly retreated from their side earlier.

Although she didn't know why the captain of the Broken Legion and the unknown loli had suddenly appeared, Xiao quickly called out to Lin Fu behind her upon seeing this:

"Lady Lin Fu, please retreat first, I will cover your retreat!"
