The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 2 Chapter 10: Holidays

[City of Freidburg, Year 735 Months 5 days to 25]

Luciel and Izzy were on a boat fishing in a lake on the outskirts of Freidburg. He was enjoying his day off to relax so that the wound on his shoulder quickly recovered.

“Hey Izzy, do you know about the rumors of a dungeon near Greenwood Forest?” ask Luciel.

Dungeons were the former experimental sites of demons during the great war. In it a lot of material – thirsty material and various records – notes knowledge of the demons that are very human looking. People – people say, if you manage to loot a dungeon, then that person could even buy a castle and not have to work for his entire life.

Luciel feels people – people just over – more right. Inside a dungeon, there are many traps – traps and even curses that can easily kill humans. Not to mention the – monsters that still roam there. The risk is very high and requires a large group to loot it.

“Ahh, I think Hunter – hunter Guild is talking about it end of this final –,” replied Izzy. “Rumor says, a shepherd found her a week ago, is Luciel interested in going there?” ask Izzy.

“Yes. I need some materials to make some things I'm going to make. Searching for it at auction will be very difficult because of the many competitions and I do not have a connection with the Dwarves who are able to make the material,” explained Luciel.

“Ahh.”

Luciel then saw his fishing rod vibrate – shakes the sign his bait has been eaten by the fish. He then began to pull the thread by hand however, he looked quite troubled.

“I think we will have a lot of lunch this ahahah,” said Luciel while pulling back the thread with more energy.

“Could it be the Baleon fish you're catching?” Izzy wakes up and notices the surface.

Not long after, a fish with a length of 2 meters jumped from the surface of the water.

“I think we need a bigger boat,” Luciel said.

“Don't till you release that fish Luciel!” Izzy's orders.

“Surely Only!”

Baleon fish is famous for being quite rare and famous for having the most delicious meat in all the waters of the Empire. After fighting with the fish for half an hour with Izzy's help, Luciel managed to bring the Fish near their boat.

“Hahhh... hahhh... I'm so tired,” said Luciel who looked limp and was flooded with sweat.

“Good Job!” Izzy gave a thumbs up to Luciel.

They then went to the mainland to cook the fish they had just obtained. It seems there are already some cooking tools that they have previously prepared.

“Hey Izzy, you prepare the charcoal and the equipment first. I'll clean the ice,” Luciel's orders.

“Okay.”

As they were preparing to cook the fish, they heard someone calling.

“Woyyy! Luciel, Izzy! Have you guys got the fish!?”

The one who called them was Jenny who was with Nolan and Finn. They then approached them.

“Ahh, you guys came at the right time. Help me clean this big fish,” Luciel said.

After cleaning the fish, Nolan and Luciel raised the fish to burn. Luciel then sprinkle the fish with various spices to get a better taste. While waiting for the fish to mature, they then started chatting about – trivial things. Gorgon and his group and several hunters also appear to join them.

The fish are very enough for them to eat together – the same.

“The food you made is very tasty Luciel, why not open also a repot?” ask Izzy while eating the grilled fish.

“Yes, you can get richer faster you know,” Nolan said.

“Ahahaha, I still want to focus on improving my forging abilities,” Luciel replied.

After they finished eating, they started playing music and singing. Seeing this scene, Luciel was very grateful for the peace he felt. ‘If only Liz was here, this atmosphere would be more perfect’ thought Luciel.

“Where are you Luciel?” ask Izzy.

“Delivering the fish to Liz,” replied Luciel while pointing out a box containing grilled fish.

“Hehh... well, we will wait for you in the Guild to drink – drinks later tonight,” invite Izzy.

“Okay.”

Luciel then started walking to the center of the City. Seen susasana city looks still crowded even though the sun has almost set. After walking for a few minutes, Luciel then arrived in front of the gates of the Knight academy and waited for Liz to come out as they had promised before. Luciel will visit every 7 or 8 days. Not long after, he heard a footstep and turned around. In front of him was a red-haired girl smiling at him.

“You have been waiting a long time?” ask Liz.

“No, you look fit using that armor,” Luciel said.

“Well, I have to get more used to it and slightly limit my speed with this,” Liz said.

“However, your safety level will also increase.”

“Iya, let's go to alun – alun. I just have time off as you know,” take Liz.

They then went to the square – plaza and sat near a fountain.

“Enak! It turned out to be true what they said about the Baleon fish!” said Liz who ate the grilled fish given Luciel.

“Don't eat rush – rush, you can choke you know,” Luciel said.

Luciel then waited for Liz to finish her meal before discussing the topic she was going to talk about.

“So, how about Liz's – days in the academy?” ask Luciel.

“Hahhh... I guess I caught too many people's attention – people you know.” Said Liz who looked sorry.

“That's natural Liz. People – people will tend to want to be closer to people – talented people,” reply Luciel.

“Hehh I think I'm a little familiar with this talk,” said Liz showing a naughty smile.

Luciel turned his face and began to sweat coldly. He then tried to change the topic.

“By the way – says Liz, do you know anything about the rumors of a new Dungeon – just appeared?” ask Liz.

Hearing Luciel's question, Liz fell silent as if she was remembering something.

“I think Instructor Rupert talked to me during a training session,” he replied. “I think the cadets will do a field practice and clean up the dungeon next week,” explained Liz.

“Ahhh that way, I plan to go there to get some materials to make a sword and some artifacts,” said Luciel.

“What kind of sword? Is there a customer asking for a difficult weapon?” ask Liz.

“Like that,” Luciel answered it faintly – faintly.

‘This thought would be a surprise for a gift when Liz had levelled up from Cadet’ thought Luciel.

After chatting – talk for some time, they then heard the third bell sound signifying the sun has been hit.

“Alright Luciel. I have to go back to the hostel, see you,” Liz then go and wave her hand to Luciel.

She remained on her own and stared at Liz until her figure was lost on the City road.

“Well... Today is complete. I think I should take a break to do my job back tomorrow,” he murmured.
