NEETS
Chapter 18: Rescue and Trap Plan

it was getting dark and we went to the Dwarven girl named Think, whose grandfather was taken by a merchant whose house was on the hill north of the village.

"hey boy, where is your house?" ask me to Think.

"come on, and please don't call me son, I'm 40 years old"

after Think said that we were silent because of his small body I thought he was a 10-12-year-old boy.

not long after we walked out of the village and into the forest, we found a small hut close to a river. and next to the little hut was a waterwheel that kept spinning constantly, and when I looked back at it was a green house containing vegetables and tubers.

we began to go into the hut and sit on a bench near the green house.

"what a cool place you live in Miss Think" said Lana who looked amazed.

"yes, the watering system and plant care are very good, only this time I see something like this" continued Jack

I who did not really understand the watering system of such a plant just fell silent and was amazed to see it.

"oh yes miss Think. if you can do this automatically right should your eating needs be fulfilled.why say your gatekeepers are struggling to eat?"

asked Mia who had been confused just like me.

"please call me Think, okay, I'll tell you"

Think began to tell the story that his grandfather always told a few decades ago, he pointed to a small island in the middle of a lake covered by fog. he said that before the island was never foggy, and the wind was always blowing in the city, but when the fog on the central island of the lake appeared everything changed.

the wind began not to blow anymore and the plant fairies who lived on the middle island of the lake did not appear again. so we lost the power to forge weapons that came from windmills as well as because we lost plant fairies.Our plants could not thrive and many died.

"hey wait a minute you said that the island in the middle of the lake was a fairy island? well, I didn't think I could meet my kind there" Shiva cut in the middle of the story.

"It's true, little friends, they're almost like you but a little different" said Think

"different? what do you mean. is it because I'm a guide fairy with the element of ice. whereas they're plant fairies?" ask Shiva

"iya a guide fairy who likes to mislead people. hahaha" I said

"iii.. R you are this!! huff"

shiva's face immediately flushed red and at first pouted in embarrassment.

"already, do not joke continue. okay Think, continue your story" said Lana

"all right, I continue"

Think continued the story.he said that the Dwarves did not give up at that time.they tried hard to find a solution to their fields.until finally the Felix saw this opportunity. yes, the crafty merchant saw opportunity in narrowness.

he gave the Dwarves a loan on the condition that the person must fulfill his order as a sign of payment.If he does not fulfill Felix's wishes he will seize the property and assets of the dwarves. starting from the shop, the fields and so on he was robbed.

Think said that Felix's mansion was once a field of dwarves but has been confiscated by him and the more days the house just widens.

Think also told us that he and his grandfather had only made this plant system for about a year, and he said that he had to accept Felix's challenge because his grandfather was very ill. and need money to buy the cure in the city.

"well, that's an interesting story Think. but we adventurers also want the rewards of our hard work can you?" say

"hey R why are you saying that?" jack whispered to me.

"ka, if you need money.eee. I'm sorry I don't have. ta, but I'll try to get money if this mission is over" Think replied.

"hey R you're not serious about this, are you?" ask Lana to me

"iya R pity him. You know yourself Think is in trouble." said Mia.

"hey you guys don't think bad first. I don't need. money for now. any drop items we get from monsters along the way are still enough for us." I replied to calm my friends.

"te, keep what you want, don't tell me you want?.."

Think crossed his arms and hugged him to his body then he slightly moved away from me and from the look of his face was disgusted at me.

"hey. that's not what I want!. I just want a vehicle that can take us to the misty island in the middle of the lake."

I said that while pointing to the misty island that was in the middle of the lake.

"are you sure about that? you saw it for yourself, right? what I did to the machine that Felix ordered." Think hesitated.

"i'm sure of your abilities, because before I followed you here I saw again the machine you made. it was really the perfect machine. but when I looked at the electrical part there was a small cable that was cut off. It looks like someone cut it off before you turned on the machine." I replied

"i've guessed something must be wrong, because I've tested it repeatedly and walked perfectly. but after the machine was checked by Felix before it was turned on the machine immediately exploded." said Think.

because Think thought the negotiations were over, he came closer to us, and I continued my words.

"as well as for your grandfather's illness you don't have to worry. I have a solution."

after saying that I immediately pulled the hood that covered Lana's head and hair.

"R what are you doing!"

lana said as she held back the hood of her robe so as not to open completely.

but the look on the face of Think already looks very surprised after seeing green hair and pointed ears Lana even if only for a moment.

Think looked so shocked that he fell off his seat.

"ka, you. You're the damned Elf, right?"

think very scared.

Lana approached Think and then crouched down in front of him and reached out to help Think wake up, smiling she said.

"you don't have to trust me for now, but I promise you, I will definitely cure your grandfather's illness."

even though Lana said that. Think still looks a little scared and still looks a little groggy near Lana, but I don't think much about it. Because I also tested Think. is he a person we can trust and a person who can trust us.

before we started the rescue plan.we ate first.we took some vegetables from the Think garden.and added meat and seasonings from the drop items during our trip to the Dwarf village.

we made 3 types of food, namely meat and vegetable satay, stir-fry vegetables, and soup. my friend took the food randomly. Jack and Mia take the stir fry while Lana takes my soup and Think takes the satay.

out of curiosity I tried to see the status of the food we made. It turns out my guess is right. Each food has a different effect.

soup can add magic effects

satay can add attack power.

while stir-fry can increase stamina and defense.

"hey friends. I have an experiment. How about you eat these foods as I choose?" my many.

"let R not be picky." replied Jack.

"it's not just choose choose food, just follow it you will know the effect." I continued.

"it's up to you". replied Jack

I also gave Jack Sate and stir-fry.

while Mia and Lana I give Sop and stir-fry. I also eat satay and stir-fry.

after I ate it it was true the effect was amazing.tubukku felt stronger and felt lighter.

"wow, what the effect of this R is amazing" said Mia and Jack

"yes that's R we always have an idea and his eyes can always see everything even though his eyes are closed one" added Lana

"yes that's it. hehe"

after we all ate, we prepared. I told Momo who was still in the form of a cat to go first and observe the situation at Felix's house.

then my friends and I prepared everything necessary, such as weapon armor and other important items.

Think also did the same and he carried an iron bag behind his back.

"what's that Think bag?" much

"oh this. this is a weapon that I made. I haven't tried it yet but just in case." replied think.

after all the preparations are done. Think also gave us a blue stone.The stone amounted to 3 seeds. Think bring 1 me 1 and Jack 1

"this is a teleport stone.if something happens that you do not expect you can use this to return to the village.

"alright." answered us all at the same time.

we started to travel to Felix's house.we walked through the village because if we pass the road in the village we will definitely be stopped by the residents and forbid us to leave.

after I look closely. the house turned out to be very large.mungki area of about 5 hectares and if calculated with a fence of about 7 hectares. the outside is also covered by a fairly high wall of about 10 meters, which makes it very closed from the outside world.

a few meters before reaching the walls of Felix's house. Momo met us. she told us that the house guard was not too tight. There was only 1 entrance through the front gate. yet Momo had already dug a path at the back of the gate for us to enter.

in it there are 3 guards in the garden.The guard is a lizardman.although the weak look lizardman is a pretty strong half-lizard man. also a little strange why would a merchant ask the lizardman for help to guard his house? but since this was in the demon continent it seemed like it was common.

we also started to enter through the door that Momo made. Momo climbed onto my back, and Shiva was also near me.

we sneak around and try to knock out the guard lizardman, but the lizardman seems to know of our arrival.

we were separated into 3 groups by the lizardman.they led us and separated us. And when I wanted to attack them suddenly the trapdoor opened in the garden section of Felix's house. and because of that, we were separated.

Think and Lana they fell from the trapdoor and into the dungeon, where he was waiting for a fat lizardman and carrying a giant scissors.

while Jack and Mia also fell in a trapdoor they fell in a basement. in that room a snake-haired woman was already waiting for them.

while I fell into a trapdoor with Momo and Shiva. I also fell in a dark basement. when I managed to get out of that room. and there Felix was waiting for me.

"welcome to the rats, welcome to my palace."

***

meanwhile before R and his comrades came to Felix's house.in a room Felix, a snake-haired woman, as well as a fat-bodied lizardman sat down and discussed something.

in the middle of them sat a round table and on the table was a glass ball showing the movement of R and his friends outside the geebang.

"look at that Mr. Felix. those fools don't realize we're watching them" said the snake-haired woman

"yes boss.they look delicious, especially the hooded woman as well as the two-pointed and short-bodied woman" said the fat lizardman.

"you have patience.I will give you them. they tried to trap us but they did not realize that we also prepared a trap for them. huahahaha"

felix said they laughed together and started to get out of the room, carrying out their traps and finally succeeding.
