Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

“Yes, but their customized equipment is not within the scope of the Familia’s responsibility.” Finn nodded.

The flames seemed to be deep in thought.

"How about we just have them switch to hunter weapons?"

Bonus update at noon for 500 followers

I was dragged into drinking three ounces of baijiu and two bottles of beer at a family gathering. I didn't get back until 11 p.m. and I was still a bit dazed just now... but I'm still incredibly sleepy.

In short, I might as well just sleep until dawn and then start writing.

Good night, Makabaka.

Chapter 61: A Win-Win Situation Is More Than Just a Win-Win; It's a Win-Win-Induced Frenzy (Bonus Chapter for 500 Followers)

"A direct costume change, like Grace's?"

"Well, I was actually planning to have Diona try out one of our weapons anyway; I think it would suit her very well. As for Raul, if I remember correctly, you use a one-handed sword and a small shield, right? Actually, we have that kind of weapon too, it's just..."

Finn pondered, while Flame looked at Raul beside him, drawing out his voice slightly, seemingly with a hint of a smile.

"Just what?"

"Exactly, the one-handed swords that can be directly equipped nowadays aren't flashy enough."

Flame coughed lightly, his words carrying a hidden meaning, and in the next instant, Raul's face flushed red.

As mentioned before, Raul's title is "Superhuman."

However, this title does not mean transcending ordinary people. The correct way to punctuate it is: "超-凡夫" (chao-fanfu), which translates to "super passerby A".

Raul made many efforts to get rid of this title.

For example, when it comes to weapons, he once chose the high-grade Russo's Sword, which was said to make even the most ordinary adventurer the center of attention.

Of course, changing one's image requires absolute adventurer strength. Without strength as a foundation, even if one is equipped with a luxurious sword covered in multiple magic stones, one will only end up like the rich kid you might encounter on the roadside in Pokémon, carrying Lux Balls and various rare Pokémon, wanting to become a Pokémon Master—just an eye-catching, foolish, and rich nobody...

Compared to the weapon Raul once used, the Flame series weapons that Flame Village can directly provide are a true representation of simplicity.

"What does it matter if a weapon is fancy or not? Practicality is the most important thing. But it's also nice to have some flair within the scope of practicality..." Raul muttered to himself, his face flushed, his eyes darting around, avoiding eye contact with Flame and Finn.

Flame and Finn exchanged a glance and then laughed.

The air was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Actually, it's not impossible to have both practicality and elegance, but then you'll have to rely on your own efforts. I do have weapons that are both elegant and practical, but those weapons are derived from monster materials. If you want to obtain them, you'll have to hunt monsters yourself," Flame said with a smile.

"I will try my best!" Lauer said, head held high.

The enemy and battle he had witnessed not long ago had also stirred his emotions. In addition, he wanted more than just weapons; he also coveted the equipment that Flame had previously possessed!

Finn and Flame laughed even harder.

“In that case, Raul, you will be in charge of the Hunter Division until the next expedition. I will also add some of the previously selected personnel to the team. You’d better take good care of yourself,” Finn said with a smile.

"……Yes!"

Although hesitant, Raul firmly said yes.

He has made up his mind to make a change.

"I will also explain to the village chief and elders that we will give everyone the authority to take the hunter's license exam. With a hunter's license, you will be able to handle the monsters that need to be hunted on your own."

Lieyan shrugged.

Previously, although the Loki Familia had established a hunter branch in Fire Village, its members did not undergo hunter certification and had no hunting authority; they could only perform various gathering tasks.

Of course, this was not intentional, nor were the registration requirements for hunters difficult for the Loki Familia of the Hunter Division.

According to the algorithm used in the dungeon, in the Monster Hunter world, if a person's physical body reaches LV2 and they are proficient in a certain weapon, they can become a beginner hunter.

Based on this standard, it can be said that anyone in the Loki Familia today could pass the hunter registration review.

The reason for not registering is

The reason is that if a large number of hunters register in one place, it will attract the attention of the guild.

It didn't mean anything else.

The main reason is that hunters actually have a fairly high status.

If a dozen or so newbie hunters suddenly appear in your area, the guild will definitely have to come and take a look.

But it doesn't matter now. After the trip to Jieyun Village, Lieyan has realized that because of the younger sister of a certain dragon twin, most of the guilds in the New and Old Continents probably already know what happened in Yanhuo Village, and the investigations that needed to be done have probably already been completed.

Given all this, what else is there to say?

Register! Everyone register!

He had just been promoted to a higher rank, and there was a shortage of people to carry out the lower-ranking tasks. If the Monster Hunter division members registered as hunters, they could take over these tasks.

This is not just a win-win situation, it's a complete win-win situation – both sides are ecstatic about winning.

"That's even better."

Finn nodded slightly, saying it was perfect, but there was no joy on his face, only a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, Blaze, time is tight, I'm afraid you'll have to miss tonight's celebration party."

"It's alright. I understand the priorities, and I also wanted to return to the village sooner, so it's fine." Lieyan shook his head.

Returning to the village early was part of his plan, which coincided with Finn's.

As for the victory celebration banquet... it doesn't matter.

Although Flame was also quite eager to witness this important moment that inspired Bell to become stronger, for now, his own affairs were indeed more important.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"The Blazing Flame hasn't come..."

At the dinner table, Ais looked around but didn't see the huge figure, so she showed a sullen expression.

"Lieyan has other tasks to complete, and he's working on them right now."

Tiona stuffed delicious food into her mouth with one hand, chewing heartily, while holding a huge wine glass in the other, drinking heartily.

"It's a real shame that Mr. Lieyan didn't come."

"Yeah yeah."

"Let's all toast Mr. Blazing Flame. If it weren't for his potion, I would have been in real danger this time."

"Who says otherwise? Let's raise a glass!"

"A toast! A toast! A toast!"

Those who had benefited from the potion echoed this sentiment, all feeling a pity that Blaze hadn't attended the victory celebration. Then, someone suggested it, and suddenly everyone agreed, with the slightly tipsy deity leading the way.

"You're right, we should toast Lieyan! I'll go first! Drink up!"

"Oh!!"

“Loki…” Riveria looked at Loki, who was egging her on, and her voice was somewhat helpless. At this moment, Bert, who seemed to be drunk and had been drinking heavily, suddenly spoke up.

"Listen to me, about the Minotaur we encountered before..."

The gears of fate began to turn.

Chapter 62: Despondency Doubled!

As the sun rises in the eastern sky, it illuminates the vast city streets. The morning light gradually shines upon Orario, which is surrounded by towering city walls. A cool breeze brings fresh air, swirling around this city of adventure.

"I've returned to Flamefire Village and can proceed with the next steps of the plan."

In the sun-drenched office of the commander, Flame, though he had rested all night, still looked a little tired as he faced Finn and yawned as he reported.

They spent a whole day and a half traveling; the dog wasn't tired, but his body was practically falling apart.

"Thank you for your hard work. It's almost breakfast time. I'll make arrangements first and then have someone coordinate with you after breakfast. After that, you can get some rest."

Finn smiled gently, full of energy and radiant with no sign of fatigue whatsoever. There was no indication that he had been working through the night for two consecutive days to deal with the backlog of clan affairs.

High-level adventurers are terrifying.

"That would be perfect! Oh my god, what are you all doing here?"

After a brief conversation, Lieyan said goodbye and left, but as soon as he opened the office door, he was startled by what he saw behind it.

Five people were crammed into the not-so-spacious entrance area.

Led by Riveria and supported by Loki, the women's team of Lefia and Tiona-Tione, serving as center-back and defenders, formed a neat formation, ready to annihilate some enemy.

"You still ask why? Of course, it's all your fault!" Loki angrily poked Flame's abs with his finger, gritting his teeth. "What exactly did you say to our precious Ais?!"

"What did you say... Ais and I have only met a few times. The only time we interacted was at the training ground at the very beginning. We haven't spoken since then."

Flame casually closed the door behind him, shutting out Finn's strange gaze. Somewhat speechless, Flame grabbed Loki's hand and, with a slight pull, Loki struggled and cried out in pain.

"Then why did Riveria say it was because of you, and then say something about rabbits and all that other nonsense? I don't care, you have to take responsibility!"

"What responsibility do I have?"

Should he be held responsible? Whose responsibility is he responsible for?

Chuan Lieyan rolled his eyes. He wasn't the kind of protagonist who builds a harem in another world, where he pushes one girl and then abandons her to push the next. He wasn't that kind of character at all.

Who is the person he spends the most time with?

It's Raul!

Next was Finn, then Grace! After that came Rivera, who taught him both common and sacred script, followed by Loki, who updated his stats…

As for the other characters, he's met most of them twice. He might be closer to some he remembers or who served as his support during previous dungeon runs, but that's about it—just friends, really. And, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll likely remain just friends.

It might be a bit sentimental, but to be honest, I just can't bring myself to have Flame make a move on a sixteen-year-old girl. It's completely impossible. She has to be an adult, preferably a mature older woman, and it would be even better if she were wearing Bubble Fox's outfit...

Cough cough cough, it seems we've revealed something.

However, listening to Loki's words reminded him of something.
