Nero, The Legendary Hunter

It was late at night, and Nero and the rest of the group had left the dungeon with a smile on their face.

"Anyway, aren't we awesome?!" Jair was smiling a lot. Having a regeneration ability was such a good thing without precedence.

"But, should the drop of such an orb be so high?" Honda found this very strange.

"Silly, of course it's because of Nero, degozaru~," Jingu didn't miss this chance to make fun of Honda.

"…" Honda was silent. She had to admit that she was very silly now for not remembering that 'little' detail.

Yes, it was Nero who used <Plunder> on all of the monsters. Her luck was clearly the highest among them, to the point that it becomes illogical.

"Ready to go back?" Elsa's voice was cold. She was flying over with a pair of wings made of wind.

Coming down, she posed beside Nero.

"Yes." Nero smiled at her.

Elsa didn't show it, but one could see through her eyes that she was happy to see Nero smile at her.

"Here, for you." Elsa transferred the level 14 monster cores to Nero. There were 25,000 monster cores. For many, this amount was hard to come by in months; but for Elsa, she did it within hours.

"Big sister, you're the best~" Nero smiled as she hugged Elsa.

Elsa froze. This hug came very suddenly, catching her basically with her pants down (by surprise). Nero chuckled as she saw Elsa's look of surprise. Standing on her tiptoes, she kissed Elsa's cheek. Deep down, Nero already knew that Elsa was not to blame for what had happened to Nera; she was just being stubborn about blaming her.

"Wow! I wish I could kiss Ms. Elsa too!"

"Yes, but I wouldn't deny the kiss of such a cute girl..."

"Yes, if only I were half of what she is, maybe I would have a chance..."

Hearing the murmurs, Nero turned a little red with embarrassment. Then she pretended to cough, and said, "S-Shall we go back?"

"Yes." Nobody disagreed, obviously. There were many monster cores to use. The stronger they gott, the better.

On the way back, Nero asked, "Big sister, do you have a regeneration ability?"

Elsa didn't give it much thought when she replied, "I have healing effect, but not regeneration."

"Excellent." Nero clasped her hands together and smiled. Then she said, "Big Sister, accept sharing on your Hunter Card."

Elsa nodded, even without knowing, then she opened her eyes wide in surprise to see the name of the item that was being transferred to her.

"How did you get so many?!" She was genuinely surprised. She knew that such an item dropped in this dungeon, but the chances were not even 1% to get such an item.

"I was lucky~" Nero stuck out her pink tongue in a cute gesture.

Stunned to see this, Elsa even forgot her initial question. Then she nodded. "I see, you are very lucky. This is good. Hunters needs luck, the more luck the better."

'Maybe the lucky statuses I have aren't common after all,' Nero muttered in her mind.

"Seriously, we tried really hard today~" Honda smiled a little, sweat running down her forehead.

Obviously, the members of the group: Hunters of the Goddess of Love were also tired. If it weren't for their armor, the sight of them would have been embarrassing, especially for the girls who had their shirts, dresses, etc. glued to their bodies.

Minutes later, they arrived at Elsa's mansion. The first thing they did was take a shower.

.

.

Almost an hour later, they met in the living room.

"Dinner will be served any time." The butler, named Alfredo, said, bowing respectfully before leaving. Hungry, everyone licked their lips in anticipation. This was not to say that they hadn't eaten, but what they ate in the dungeon was just something sweet to keep from running out of energy, not enough to satisfy the craving for something salty.

Soon dinner was served.

"Big sister... Does Mom know about me?" Nero asked a question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

"Yes." Elsa was a little surprised, as it was the first time she had heard Nero ask about their mother. "She is very happy and sad. You can imagine that she was very shaken to learn what Eliane did to you, but at the same time happy that you were still alive, as many people thought you were dead, but she never gave up hope. By the way..."

"Does she want to see me?" Nero interrupted.

"Yes... She's nearby..." Elsa was cautious.

"…I…I want to see her, but, but I don't know how to interact with her. As I said, I'm not the same anymore. Partly, I feel like Nera, but on the other hand, I feel like she doesn't exist anymore, what's left are just memories." Nero told her how she truly felt. Since she inherited Nera's memories, she didn't feel like her, but at the same time, she didn't think that was wrong. It was a totally weird situation.

"I understand," Elsa said with a small smile, "Mom is aware of what happened. She knows about your split personality... But Nera, I mean Nero, even though you've changed, you're still mommy's daughter, just as you are my little sister."

"…" Nero was silent, thinking about what Elsa had said. Choko and the rest were also silent.

After thinking for a few seconds, Nero sighed, "Okay, I want to see Mom."

"Excellent!" Elsa showed a face full of smiles. "Can I call her now?"

"No, no, I'm not ready yet!" Nero said hastily.

"...Okay." Elsa was a little dismayed to hear this, but soon she smiled. Just Nero wanting to see their mother, it was already a big step forward. "When do you plan to see Mom?"

"Tomorrow? Or maybe when we go to the main city of the Nan Empire? Honestly, I'm scared…" Nero took a deep breath, "I still remember Mom, but I feel really nervous just thinking about it. And I don't want to blow up like I did with you, big sister. At least I want to put my thoughts in place."

"I understand," Elsa nodded, "Okay, she's been waiting patiently. Just don't let her wait too long, okay?"

"Yes, I won't." Nero finally smiled.
