Volume 8 Chapter 29: Thunder Foodie
The group headed to where the carriages were. As they did, "Aww, why is Junior pouting?" Angelica and Sakura noticed the kid's pouting look.
"I'm not pouting."
"That's the pouting face," It was definitely one! How could it not?
"Nothing, Holy Maiden, Fallen Blossom."
"Ngh!" When those words came out of his mouth, Angelica and Sakura's faces froze. It was as if all their muscles went stiff for that one second!
"You guys really don't like your names, huh?" Those expressions were not befitting for two beautiful women.
"Please don't say those names." "Ugh, just thinking about it is making my skin crawl."
"But how did you guys even get names like that," Keith grinned. Even his hands were curling up when he said it. That was how cringy he felt.
"It was just handed to us," Sakura muttered. They didn't even know about it until it was too late. Hearing the name caused them to grab their heads.
"Oof. But those names really suit you guys." Holy Maiden? Yeah, that sounded about right with Angelica. Fallen Blossom. Sometimes, the girl wore cherry blossom clothing.
"..." The two beauties gave him deadpan stares. You're messing with us, huh?!
That only allowed for a devious smile to form on Angelica's face, "Don't worry, Junior. You're going to get a name as well."
"Say what?" Keith froze.
"I heard some adventurers talking about it; it seems they're trying to make a nickname for you." Sakura had been walking around and heard talks about it.
"..." Keith's expression just went colder and colder before shouting, "Are you kidding me?!"
"What do you expect? The speed you ranked up is something." Keith's rank up to B was quick. No one expected that. A name would soon come later.
"Yeah, like some of them were thinking about calling you thunder berserker."
"Huh? Where did that come from?"
"Some people remembered how you took out Todd." That grand level magic was still fresh in their mind. The berserker part came from how he went on a rampage.
"..."
"Some people thought about using your food. Like calling you Foodie." Food was the most notable thing with the man.
"..." Oh dear lord!
"Either way, you're going to get a nickname. Good luck with that." Angelica added, "Personally, I thought Thunder Foodie would be interesting." That sounded flashy, and it was notable.
"..." Someone, throw me out the window! He wanted to go and hide in a hole! Neither name worked for him!
"Haha, that's what you get for laughing at us." Angelica relished in this guy's embarrassment. Sakura nodded, "Come on, we need to head to the carriage." They needed to go to the dungeon.
...
"What kind of dungeon are we heading into?" After a few minutes of going crazy, Keith's focus peaked. The three were now before a cave.
"It's a normal one." Angelica grinned.
"It's still an A-rank," Sakura sighed. The monsters there were still more powerful than in a regular dungeon. But then she added, "We'll go with an arrow formation with you being the tank, me in the center, and Angelica in the back." Their roles were clear-cut for everyone.
"Mmhmm,"
"I've been meaning to try it out in the group." Keith took out his shield and axe.
"Let's do this," Keith pumped his fist into the air. And like that, the group was off. Entering the dungeon,
"It's another forest type." It was filled with a bunch of trees and grass. But Sakura shook her head, "Keith, be especially wary of the ones flying from the sky.
"Eh?" Before Keith could question it more, he quickly raised his shield! That was when there was a loud bang coming from it! But when he looked at what it was, it had disappeared.
"Stay focused!" Sakura shouted as she swung her blade; a monster was sliced in half. What was before the trio was a giant bird. Tho, the beak was enormous.
"Is the beak the only thing I must look out for?" That beak alone showed how dangerous it was.
"Talons are dangerous as well. But what's out when it opens its mouth? It could break iron if your shield is caught.
"Understood!"
"I'll thin them out." Angelica waved her staff. The moment she did that, a rain of white arrows stabbed into the birds. And Sakura wasn't standing there as she made her move! One stroke had taken down five birds at one.
That was when one of them came diving at her!
"Hmpf!" But an iron wall blocked its path, taking the blow with his shield! With a swing, the bird was sent flying!
"Good," Sakura then went for the kill. This entire battle lasted for a few minutes, but a large number of eagles were before them.
"Woah. there was a lot." Keith sighed.
"Aww, Junior was awesome out there. Like a knight in shining armor." Angelica grinned.
"Senior Ange, you don't need to say it like that." Keith scratched his head. He didn't think what he did was that special. Blocking and pushing them off. That was his job; Sakura and Angelica were in charge of dealing with the damage.
"You were so handsome."
"It's much simpler with you here," Sakura added. With a solid guard before them, more combos were thrown.
"Thank you for the praise." Keith turned to the birds before them, "I'm going to enjoy this."
