Chapter 7: Night Shadow

Qiang finds himself not far from the entrance of the cave and starts to venture back into the cave. His quest to get the twins out of the cave was something he didn't really like but had to prioritize. These hidden chain quests usually give high rewards and experience. There were also a rumor that these quests would give you a hidden profession.

As he got closer and closer to the twins mansion the more he started to grumble...

"Have they figured out that I've escaped?"

Within mere minutes he stood by the doorsteps of the twins mansion. Just as Qiang was about to open up the door, or at least knock, it opened and Sebastian peaked out.

"Oh, you're back! I missed Qia-tan sooo~ much-i~. So Qia-tan chose to be with me in the end!!" He said and blushed.

Qiang immediately gave Sebastian a kick to the side while crying inside.

'Why me?'

He walked into the house and saw the twins and the maid from his escape.

"It seems letting you go wasn't such a bad choice." (Kuro)

"Mary did a good job." (Shiro)

"Since you back alive it means that you've defeated the fire troll at the cave exit." (Kuro)

"Good job, Qiang!~"(Shiro)

"So you guys deliberately let me get away..."(Qiang)

"Yes."(Kuro)

Kuro looked at Qiang and laughed lightly.

"It seems our plan was a success. We were actually unsure if you could do it."

"But yeah I did and now I'm here to get you out of here."(Qiang)

"Sure but first a reward!!~"(Shiro)

Shiro ran quickly towards one of the rooms. After a few minutes she came out with some cloth that she gave to Qiang.

"Here."

Qiang took the cloth. And a window popped up.

You have acquired the "Cloth of night"
Do you wish to equip it?

"Yes."

Immediately after Qiang answered the question his old beginner equipment was replaced by this new black with gold and red equipment set. Other than cloth armor a choker, belt and a small bag was in the set. Once that was done a new window appeared before him.

'This is certainly interesting skills... Too bad it's not that easy to use in bigger open areas.' (Qiang)

Qiang closed the status window and gave Kuro and Shiro his thanks.

"It... It was nothing!! We... We pretty m-much... Um... tricked you after all..."(Kuro)

"Ah, tsun..."(Qiang)

"I'm not a tsundere!!!"(Kuro)

Shiro put her hand over her mouth and with a strange smile barely exposed under that hand she said:

"Ku,ku,ku,ku. Qiang you're an idiot."

"Well sorry that I am then."

"Anyway I want to leave! Qiang, escort us out of this cave!"(Kuro)

Kuro had now gone back to her normal self.

"What happened to the please?" (Qiang)

"It's not needed for a guy like you." (Kuro)

"Really? Then you might as well walk there by yourself. I'll just leave then." (Qiang)

He started to walk away.

"No, no, no! Wait!" (Kuro and Shiro)

Qiang stopped and looked back at them.

"Stupid Kuro" (Shiro)

"Okay... Please?" (Kuro)

"Then let's go. I won't wait for you if you can't keep up." (Qiang)

They started walking towards the exit of the cave. The cave was, compared to the first time Qiang walked there, damp. Water droplets were falling down from the cave ceiling and small puddles of water had been formed. The reason was probably because Qiang defeated the Fire Troll. The fire of the Fire Troll had kept the cave dry but now that it wasn't there anymore the dampness of a normal cave were coming back.

There was only one more corner before you could see the light coming through the exit from outside the cave when Qiang stopped.

"There is someone there."

Qiang whispered to the ones behind him.

Out from behind the corner came a woman with nine fluffy tails and pointy cat-like ears. She was jumping up and down happily until she noticed Qiang and the others. 

"Oh so there was another player here... I thought I was the first one. My name is Yuikarie, people call me Yui thou."

Before Qiang and the others had even had any time to think nor act she had already introduced herself.
