The Rise of the Sword Expert
Picnic Hunting

There is a reason why Renia eagerly came to me just for a picnic. This little body has a lot of ideas in its club cell. Earlier, he heard from the gardener regarding the water flowers that were steps.

Yes, because of the water flower of that step he bravely and passionately broke through my work space to invite a picnic. Actually the picnic was just the excuse he gave. How does a sweet lady picnic in a scary monster's den?

I smiled wryly.

"Sister, you'll want to, won't you, accompany me?"

"of course. Brother once told you to ask for whatever you want, right?"

You need to know, that almost all of Sanktessy is surrounded by dark forests, they are scattered. It is difficult to understand why the forbidden forest exists in one location and another without merging. The largest location is in Aurus.

"The lake is big enough. Even this looks like an ocean," Renia said admiring the lake.

This is an abandoned lake. It is quite large when it says lake. 4 Hours from our mansion. It was on the east side of the mansion, bounded by a forest of darkness, a not-so-high hill. Insulated and humid place.

It's only natural that Renia would take me. I was the ticket for her to find the step water flower.

"Let my brother take it" I asked him. Yesterday he had just experienced something bad, now he wants to be in a dangerous place openly.

"No. I'll take it myself."

"Why?"

"Later brother destroys it again."

I frowned. Renia must be happy to bring up the teddy bear problem that she wants.

"No. Trust me."

"No. I'll take it myself, then we can have a picnic there too" he said.

He continued, "Didn't my sister ever take me out for a picnic before?"

I'm sure Renia's memory is excellent. He remembered what I said a few months ago. In this way I finally gave up and obeyed his orders.

Me, Levian, Renia, Tanka and Nami were sitting under a shady tree whose bottom had spread out a patterned mat of salem-colored squares.

It was like I was playing house with him.

A piece of Renia cake sucked into my mouth, and I chewed it well. His face was cheerful, he seemed to be enjoying everything. So far there has been no interference from dangerous creatures. Maybe it's just a rumor.

But I'm still vigilant.

I lay my body on the grass, my head looked at the sky boldly. The weather is sunny and scorching, the clouds are white and appear very soft to grip.

My eyes slowly closed in this calmness.

Two hours later, I rubbed my eyes. Nothing happened to anything. Levian had been by Renia's side ever since, I had fallen asleep in Tanka's watch.

The basket under Renia was full of plants she picked up on the edge of the lake.

"Are we done?"

Renia looked at me in shock, "Not yet. The water flower I want hasn't met."

"Maybe it's just a rumor" I replied.

"Rumors are sometimes based on reality, Mr. Akion," he grunted.

That's a mature mind. Rumors are mostly of reality. But the day had been afternoon, forcing yourself to continue here was not good for him.

"Twenty minutes left if we don't meet then we go home" I replied without seeming to rule.

He nodded slowly. His small body that walked on the grass moved uniquely. Noble women rarely do this.

"That's it!!" He shouted while pointing at the flower that was on the left side of the lake.

The flower was a little far from the edge of the lake, but Renia seemed to be unconcerned. She lifted the bottom of her dress high and ran hard.

The flower moved like the wind, then it moved again. Strange movements. Underneath the flower was dark, in contrast to the other side. Then I saw something shining underneath. Two, he's got two red dots.

"Renia don't!"

Shouted, he stopped running, but the thing under the water was moving quickly wanted to grab him.

BUGH!!

The gray-colored giant snake retreated strongly as I hit its head. His tail was wriggling towards us, he was wagging his tail like a huge whip, making my footing wobble, and I jumped to dodge my piercing attack.

The snake is hissing at me. His long tongue threatened us. The water flower that Renia wanted was right on top of her head, it seemed that it was growing there and she trapped Renia. This snake is smart.

Using his large tail, he was wagging through the air, the lake water flew towards us, making the movement even more difficult. I dodged quickly, stepping on his slippery tail. When I wanted to punch him, he entered the lake quickly.

But we were still in the air, he reappeared with his mouth wide open. The mouth cavity and its two fangs are clearly visible.

I'll make sure if I don't do anything, we'll both end up in the hull.

"Feel in brother. Everything's gonna be okay." I calmed the frightened Renia in my arms.

I pulled out my sword, when we faced, the snake looked very savagely, but the look in my eyes was no less savage than it was. Next my sword scratched it quickly, and made the snake split in two.

Byuurs!!

The snake fell on the lake, its blood flew everywhere, so as not to get hit by Renia, I covered her body with my much larger body.

Renia and I landed by the lake watching the snake.

"Are you okay, Miss Renia?" Nami's face was pale, her body was trembling. He looked like he could have a heart attack because he saw this horrible thing.

I opened my arms, looking at Renia worriedly,

"I'm fine, brother."

I did cover her gaze, and hugged her tightly. After seeing that she was not hurt in the slightest, I gave her something.

"This is a gift for you."

He accepted it, "Thank you very much, Brother Akion." It was a rare water flower that was extremely dangerous, a flower that Renia wanted.

"Rare switch." Tanka returned after noticing the snake.

"Name Kaliya. The water in his Kaliya will be poisonous, no wonder the lake is not overgrown by any plants."

He explained again, "It must be very expensive the price of Kaliya's skin, we need every part of her body."

"Is it useful?"

"To make magic tools and magic potions is very useful. We're lucky to get it, Akion."

"Levan." I called out to Levian who had been beside Renia ever since. He walked quickly towards me.

"You and Tanka will stay here."

Their faces looked up, confused by the command I gave, his eyebrows twitched once.

"The snake harvester Kaliya. Tanka said she was very valuable and expensive," I explained, Levian nodded.

"But why me too?"

"Because you're the only one who understands treating those precious materials well, right?"

Tanka remained silent. That must be true.

"I'll go home first, and I'll send help here."

I left the two of them, and took Renia whose face shone happily. She's laughing a little

show the water flower.

The three of us left the two of them, great warriors and chatty earth elves.
