Chapter 95: Treasure or Terror? ( 95 )
Damn! This cave is too deep. When will I find my treasure?
Hazuki let out an exaggerated sigh as he trudged forward, his boots crunching against the rocky floor. The eerie glow from the crystals lining the walls barely lit his path, casting strange, shifting shadows.
"Ugh... I swear, every isekai protagonist finds treasure so easily—just one random cave and bam! Legendary weapon, gold piles, maybe even a sealed goddess who calls them ’Master.’" He clicked his tongue. "Meanwhile, here I am, wandering through a cave like an idiot."
He kept walking, grumbling under his breath.
"Seriously, why is treasure so damn hard to get? Shouldn’t there be some kind of dungeon navigation skill for poor, struggling adventurers like me?"
The deeper he went, the brighter the cave seemed to get, as if something up ahead was illuminating the space.
"...Huh?" Hazuki narrowed his eyes. "Wait a minute. That’s not normal, right?"
Ohhh!
Hazuki’s eyes sparkled like a man who just spotted an all-you-can-eat buffet after starving for days. His mouth stretched into a wide, idiotic grin.
"I’m sure that’s the treasure!! MY TREASURE!!!"
Without even thinking—without questioning if it was actually treasure or just some weird glowing rock—Hazuki sprinted forward, his greedy eyes gleaming with the kind of desperation only a broke adventurer could understand.
