I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Soon, Texas drove the transport vehicle to the port of Letania, where the experimental equipment destined for a certain academy in Letania was to be received.

"Hey Texas, have all the goods been received?"

While leaning against the wall, Exusiai rubbed Yuhaka's cheek and asked Texas a question. Texas, holding a tablet and looking at the content displayed on it, said:

"Yes, they've all been accepted. Only the Rhodes Island application documents that Provence gave us are left."

Exusiai looked at the folder in Texas's other hand and said:

"A job application from Rhodes Island? By the way, who is this application document submitted to?"

Texas opened her tablet, checked it, and said:

"Hmm...it seems like it should be handed over to Eyjafjalla and the Earth Spirit."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai gave a strange look and said:

"I would believe the first one if it was a name, but the second one is just a code name, right?"

Texas placed the Rhodes Island job application folder into her waist pouch and said to Exusiai:

"It doesn't matter, whether it's a code name or a real name, Provence gave me Eyjafjalla and Dilling's addresses. It seems they live in the same place, which saves us the trouble of finding them."

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

After a while, Texas, Exusiai, and Ehka (Croissant and Sora were busy with other things) arrived at the place where Eyjafjalla and the Earth Spirits lived, but they didn't see Eyjafjalla and the Earth Spirits because they weren't home.

After asking around, Texas and her friends learned that Eyjafjalla and Dillian had gone to the volcanic region far away in Letania.

"A volcano... is it the one we saw in the distance?"

Texas nodded, took a Pocky stick and put it in her mouth, then said to Exusiai:

"That's right, it's that volcano. I heard that the miners who are mining ore at that volcano have reported abnormal activity in the volcanic area. Eyjafjalla and Miss Earth Spirit are messengers of natural disasters, so they went to the volcanic area to conduct an investigation."

Exusiai scratched her head and said:

"And then, are we just supposed to wait for them to come back here?"

After giving a Pocky to Yuhaka, who was drooling over Texas's Pocky, Texas shook her head and said:

"No, we have to follow them. After all, our mission is to deliver the goods to Eyjafjalla and Miss Earthspirit, and then take them to Rhodes Island."

Exusiai said with a troubled expression:

"Oh dear~ It seems we can only look for them in the volcanic region. But Texas, do you have any ideas on how to find Eyjafjalla and the Earth Spirit?"

Texas nodded and said to Exusiai:

"Of course there is a way."

As she spoke, Texas patted Ehaka's head beside her. Seeing this, Exusiai had a look of sudden realization. Exusiai remembered the last time Ehaka was delivering takeout, someone stole her takeout.

At that time, Yuhaka found the thief by sniffing the surroundings, and soon she found the thief who dared to steal her takeout in an alley.

Moreover, the thief looked at Yuhaka with a shocked expression. She didn't expect to be found so quickly, and most importantly, she hadn't even opened her takeout and taken a bite yet.

After the thief was thoroughly bitten by Yohaka, Yohaka left with the takeout.

Chapter 110 [The Little Lamb's Stockings]

Texas is driving a rented SUV to the edge of the volcanic region closest to Letania.

Exusiai, gazing at the smoking volcano in the distance, adjusted the protective suit she had purchased from Letania and used a magazine as a fan to cool her face, saying to Texas:

"Wow... this volcanic region is really much hotter than other places..."

Texas nodded, chewing on her Pocky, and said:

"Yes, I heard from the miners in Letania that the temperature here wasn't originally this hot, but for some reason it has risen recently, and Originium creatures have been appearing frequently, which has prevented them from carrying out mining work."

Exusiai looked around at the empty mine and said:

"So that's how it is. No wonder there's no one here anymore; they've all run away."

"Hehe~ OvO"

Ehaka was leaning against the back of Exusiai's seat, sipping some kind of drink. Exusiai and Texas heard the noise and turned around to see Ehaka sipping something.

Yuhaka is holding a light blue bottle of beverage, and a large ice cube can be seen floating in the bottle.

Exusiai looked at Texas with a puzzled expression and said:

"Did you buy Youyou a drink?"

Texas looked at Exusiai with a puzzled expression and said:

"I thought you bought it for Youyou."

The two then realized that neither of them had bought any drinks for Yuhaka. After asking Yuhaka, they learned that she had actually made her own drinks.

"Want to drink?"

Yuhaka handed the cold drinks in his hand to Texas and Exusiai and said this. Exusiai and Texas nodded and took a small sip to taste the flavor.

Although the taste wasn't particularly outstanding, it had a hint of sweetness and a cool sensation that made both of them shiver when they took a sip.

"Ew~ It's so cold. Drinking a cold drink in a hot place really feels so refreshing~"

"Hmm... well, it's alright, but we need to get to the recipient's location quickly, or the volcano will erupt and cause serious problems."

Hearing Texas's words, Exusiai nodded in agreement and said:

"Okay, but before that, we need Youyou to help us out."

Exusiai then turned around and looked at Eyjafjalla, who was drinking a cold drink, and said:

"Youyou, did you get the clothes from Eyjafjalla and Miss Earth Spirit's wardrobe today?"

Upon hearing Exusiai's words, Ehaka nodded to indicate that he had received it. Then, Ehaka fiercely pulled out a smooth black cloth from his dimensional portal.

Exusiai and Texas looked at the black cloth in Yhaka's hand with puzzled expressions. It looked like a handkerchief, but the black cloth, which Yhaka had been crumpling, slowly unfolded.

"Uh... x2"

After seeing the fabric in Yuhaka's hand, Texas and Exusiai were both at a loss for words.

It's not for any particular reason, it's just that the fabric in Yuhaka's hand is actually a pair of stockings!

Texas fell silent as she looked at Eyjafjalla's black stockings. Although it was her idea to have Yuhaka sneak into the recipient's residence to retrieve a smaller garment as a way to locate Eyjafjalla and the others...

But Texas never expected that Eyjafjalla would actually pull out a pair of stockings that Eyjafjalla would wear!

Exusiai, standing to the side, also looked completely bewildered. She turned to Texas and said:

"Um... Texas, what should we do? Should we ask Youyou to smell those socks?"

"Um…………"

Texas was conflicted as she looked at the black stockings in Yuhaka's hand. Although the black stockings looked like something a cute little girl would wear, it didn't seem like there would be any big problem with Yuhaka taking a sniff of them.

Texas simply couldn't bring herself to do something as outrageous as having a little girl suck on another little girl's stockings! Not to mention that the little girl was someone she considered her younger sister.

"Sniff sniff~ (￣〃￣;)"

Before Texas and Exusiai could speak, Yhaka first sniffed the lingering scent on the stockings. Before Texas and Exusiai could react, Yhaka stood up, pointed in a distant direction, and said:

"over there!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Texas didn't care about anything else and stepped on the gas, rushing towards Yuhaka's direction.

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

In a simple little tin shack...

Eyjafjalla was wrapping a bandage around the wound on the Earth Spirit's leg, her face showing shame as she looked at the wound and said:

"I'm sorry, Senior Earth Spirit. If I hadn't been so impulsive, you wouldn't have been injured while saving me."

The earth spirit patted Eyjafjalla's little head and said to her:

"It's alright. No one can predict everything. I only suffered minor injuries. Besides, I never imagined that such a terrifying monster would be hiding in this volcano."

Then the earth spirit's expression turned extremely ugly as it said:

"Most importantly, if we don't deal with the monster, the volcanic ash from the eruption will fly into the air and affect the surrounding cities and villages. The volcanic ash, which contains Originium, will affect everyone in the vicinity."

Eyjafjalla looked sad, opened her mouth slightly, and then said:

"But... my Originium Arts can't do any damage to that monster."

Yes, Eyjafjalla's Originium Arts (Fire) were completely ineffective against the giant monster. The damage she inflicted on it was at most turning the black volcanic rock on its body crimson red.

How could her flames possibly harm a monster that can roam freely in scorching lava?

Furthermore, the Earth Spirit's Originium Arts are only geared towards hindering enemies, making them unsuitable for dealing with that monster.

“Eyjafjalla, listen carefully. You need to go to where we parked and use the communication equipment on our vehicle to contact the nearby mobile cities and tell them to evacuate the surrounding crowds as soon as possible and leave immediately…”

Upon hearing the Earth Spirit's words, Eyjafjalla quickly interrupted, saying:

“But… Senior Earth Spirit, our communication equipment is insufficient to contact the surrounding mobile city-states…”

The Earth Spirit slammed its fist on the table and said:

"Damn it...is there really no other way...?"

Just as Eyjafjalla and the Earth Spirit were at a loss for what to do, they heard other people's voices outside the door.

Chapter 111 [Volcanic activity accelerates.]

"There's really a lot of loose rock here..."

Exusiai complained as she stepped over a rock. Not long ago, Exusiai, Texas, and Ehaka got out of the car because they encountered terrain with a lot of loose rocks on the way there, so Texas and the others had to walk in the direction Ehaka pointed.

"It's probably from the mining operations, but that's also why we have to walk around. By the way, Exusiai, don't you feel like the temperature here isn't as high anymore?"

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai finally reacted and said:

"That seems so?! That's strange, it felt really hot outside!"

Meanwhile, Zelus, the system behind Yuhaka who hadn't had a chance to appear in a long time, looked at Texas and the others speechlessly and said:

"Nonsense, of course you won't feel the calories after drinking a cold drink, let alone a modified version of a cold drink by this little guy."
