Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Inspect.
After the shocking revelation, Soma receives it at the bottom of the pond. Currtly, he is standing on the blacked floor that radiates warmth for his drched body to take shelter.
"Are you okay, Soma?".
"Yeah, I am fine, just a bit cold, that's all".
"...Sorry, it's because of my selfishness".
"Don't worry about it. This is also a good experice for me, and I obtain something great there".
Hina and Xiao Lian exchange looks as they observe Soma, who proudly shows his bare chest while gazing toward his left palm. There is a symbol of a black diamond, and from what Soma had told them. It was a relic that assimilated with Soma's body and gave him the ability to store any object, regardless of weight and size, in a sub-dimsion space that has no limit.
Soma, who felt that his body was already warm ough. He asked the two girls to turn their gaze away, letting him change his drched underwear. Seeing the two girls who turned their backs with boiling faces, Soma also began to turn his back and took out his spare clothes inside his storage ring.
Hina, who since earlier had be conscious about his appearance, felt that his heartbeat start to throb intsely while strange images began to replay in her mind. Xiao Lian, who saw her condition, shrunk her gaze while wondering.
"What's wrong with you since earlier?".
"..Eh? No, nothing in particular".
"...You seem overly conscious about Soma's appearance. Does his currt appearance excite..".
"Suush".
Xiao Lian couldn't finish what she said because the lightning-swift of Hina's hand sealed her lips away, rdering her muted while releasing some humming. Hina was indeed feeling conscious about his body but not to the extt of being excited, or did she?
After witnessing the state Hina was in, Xiao Lian was convinced that the girl before her was the closest pervert. Well, she was also a girl at that time of age who was curious about boys her age, but she couldn't let someone else find it, or is it just she couldn't let out her expression well?
"I am finished, girls".
The two girls' bodies jolted by Soma's clear voice directed at them. Their faces stiffed, especially Hina, whose face was flushed.
"What's wrong?".
"No, nothing. Right, Silver-hair?".
"...Mm".
Xiao Lian couldn't give a proper retort as she also started to get corrupted by Hina's thoughts. So, she could only provide her usual response and nodded her head slightly.
"Okay th. Help me to inspect the treasure, th we can decide what to do after that".
The two girls nodded their heads slightly after getting the acceptance from the girls. Soma extded his left hand and oped his palm toward an empty space before speaking.
"Release!".
With a single command escape from Soma's lips. The black diamond on his left palm glows in dark light. Th, in front of them, a pile of glittering gold that created a mound sprawled on the blacked floor, making the two girls who saw it for the first time stiff in shock.
From above, a huge shadow, which invited the three people to raise their gaze, saw an impding huge skeletal figure of a dragon with its long spine and majestic skull descd before it fell to the g, letting out a slight tremor, making the gold in place scattered across the floor.
"That was?!".
Xiao Lian, who saw the fossil up close, redirected her atttion toward it while gradually taking a step closer until she reached its skull. Hesitatingly, she reaches her right-hand multiple times before she caresses the hard and cold surface of the skeletal figure of the dragon that she and her family have yearned for eons to find their existce.
The surface of the skull was hard but also smooth to the touch, for it didn't have a single blemish or scar from being gnawed over time. Its protruded teeth were still fully intact, showing its ferocity upon the dragon still lives. The antlers still attached to its skull shone in a slight gold hue of color, giving it a majestic feeling.
Xiao Lian, the first person who succeeded in achieving the dream of her ancestor, turned muted because of the mixed feelings of awe and happiness that couldn't be described with words that stirred her calm heart, gerating a ripple in her sere eyes.
"...I found it, Mother…".
Soma and Hina, who watched her figure from the side, exchanged silt looks and nodded their head in muted understanding. With light steps, both of them began to approach the pile of treasure that was sured by the fossil.
"Soma, what should we do about all of this?".
"For now, let's search for something besides the coin or something related to money".
"Okay".
The two of them begin their search. Hands start to rake the piled treasure, searching for a new discovery as the two of them submerge into their own world. Thirty minutes passed, and finally, after the arduous search, they could only find one rectangular wood black box with its intricate carving adorned with pure gold metal on its sides.
"After all that search. There is only this box".
Hina, who sat on top of the sprawled gold on the bottom, sighed in disbelief, for their arduous search only resulted in this one piece of box. Soma, on the other hand, kept his composure and observed every detail of the box.
"What did you find?".
Xiao Lian, with her flat tone, started to approach Soma's right side, who was observing the box, before she bt her knees and took a seat beside him.
"Hina found this".
"Hmm".
"...Soma, op the box."
Hina, who regained her ergy, crawled on her four and nestled beside Soma. Soma, who was being sandwiched by two flowers in each hand, stiffed his face, but th he sighed and brought the box close to his face.
"I'm oping it".
As Soma carefully pried op the box, his hand trembled with anticipation. It was also the same with the two girls, where their faces were slowly inching closer to the box. The lid creaked softly, leaving a small gap that revealed what was actually stored inside.
"This is?".
Inside the box, three transpart vials have differt contts. The vial from the left contained a small red pill as big as marble, the same as the vial on the right, which contained blue pills. In the middle of the two pills, there was a transpart vial that was slightly bigger compared to the other vials, with three gold pills that were as big as peanuts, residing inside.
"What are these?".
Hina, who sat on Soma's left side, took the red pill in her hands and began to inspect it thoroughly. Xiao Lian also does the same with the blue pills which are now in her hands.
Soma, who saw the remaining pills, covered his mouth while deep in thought as to how he should deal with the things.
However, after thinking it thoroughly, he sighs and th speaks to the girl on his left.
"Hina, used the appraisal item".
"Ah, I completely forgot about that".
"Appraisal Item?".
Hina swiftly connects her thoughts with her storage ring before taking out the glasses that she received from Soma. She began to put on the glasses and observed the item but knit her brow in the process.
"How about the result?".
"Nothing, it was showing the question marks all over".
"I see".
"What about it?!".
Xiao Lian, who seems oblivious to the conversation, tries to inquire for some explanation as she closes the distance with Soma, bringing her body closer and making contact with his shoulder.
"...This is based on my hypothesis alone, but. The appraisal item in Hina's hands was probably only an Epic rank, which cannot read the details about the item we currtly had in hands".
"So?".
"...that means the item you guys hold in your hands was something beyond Epic rank".
"...I understand now".
After Xiao Lian was Satisfied with the answer, she began to take another look at the blue pills before she decided to return them back to the place where they belonged.
"Here, It's too dangerous for the currt me".
"Wise choice".
Soma also didn't have a single clue about this existce. He knows that inside the Chronicles Saga, there are some people out there with skilled hands who concocted pills that could hance the awaker's performance in battle.
However, in the first place. Soma was currtly in a state of chaos where the evt of Leon being chos as the savior got twisted so severely, getting unrelated people involved. Also, the ruins he currtly explores ar't explained in the story.
So, he didn't dare to use the pills recklessly to avoid something troublesome happing to him and the two girls.
"Soma. Here, me too".
"Okay".
Hina also began to return the vial before Soma closed it, noting that his homework increased upon the unidtified items in his possession. He slowly closed the lid before starting to rack his brain for the next step he should take.
"What should we do next?"
