SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Alarm.

No one objected.

They began making the final preparations to leave. There wasn’t much to do. The only thing remaining was to harvest the monster Lyra had killed moments ago.

Although the beasts they had hunted today were considered low-level, they were still worth money. Hides, claws, fangs, monster cores, and valuable meat all sold for decent prices. No experienced hunter would willingly leave loot behind.

Working together, they quickly carved away the valuable materials before storing everything inside their inventories.

Once they were finished, the group began making their way back.

The return journey was far more relaxed than the hunt itself.

Without monsters to worry about, conversations gradually replaced vigilance.

Stanley, unsurprisingly, became the source of most of the noise.

The bulky tank possessed an incredible talent for provoking people with an innocent face.

Unfortunately for Betty...

She fell for it every single time.

"You know," Stanley said with a thoughtful expression, "for someone so short, your temper is surprisingly tall."

Betty’s forehead twitched.

"...Say that again."

"I said your temper—"

Before Stanley could finish, Betty’s fist flew straight toward his shoulder.

Bang!

The heavily armored giant merely staggered half a step before bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha! I knew you’d fall for it!"

"You idiot!"

"You really have anger issues."

"I’ll show you anger issues!"

The two immediately began arguing again, causing Kyle to quietly move several steps away as though distancing himself from an approaching natural disaster.

Even Jonathan simply sighed before pretending not to know either of them.

Watching the familiar exchange, Kael couldn’t help shaking his head.

Those two really never got tired of this.

The journey continued amidst laughter, complaints, and Stanley’s relentless teasing.

It wasn’t long before the towering walls of the fortress city appeared before them once again.

By the time they reached the massive gates, countless hunters could already be seen streaming back from the Verdant Forest.

Some walked alone.

Others returned in full teams.

Some carried enormous monster corpses on their shoulders, while others dragged carts overflowing with harvested materials.

The day’s hunt had clearly come to an end for many people.

Although the sun still hung high above the Verdant World’s sky, Kael knew it was already close to six in the evening outside.

Just like the Sand World, this rift possessed its own flow of time.

Every rift was effectively its own independent world.

Some shared almost identical day-night cycles with Earth.

Others were completely different.

There were even rifts where the sun never set and others that remained in eternal darkness.

As a result, most hunters simply followed Earth time rather than the local world’s clock unless they deliberately intended to grind for extended periods.

After passing through the fortress gates and completing the routine identity verification, Jonathan turned toward Stanley and Betty.

"You two go sell today’s harvest."

Stanley casually saluted.

"Leave it to us."

The pair separated from the group and headed toward the marketplace.

Once they disappeared into the crowd, Jonathan turned back toward everyone else.

"It has been a long day."

He stretched his shoulders before smiling.

"I know a great place nearby that serves excellent food."

"We can eat there while waiting for Stanley and Betty to finish selling everything."

"What do you guys think?"

Although the question was directed at everyone...

Kael somehow felt Jonathan was only waiting for one person’s answer.

His eyes shifted toward Lyra almost the entire time he spoke.

Kael silently looked toward Ezra.

She simply rubbed her forehead before letting out an almost inaudible sigh.

Apparently...

She had noticed it too.

Poor guy.

He had completely lost himself.

Since nobody objected, the group decided to go.

After all, everyone had spent the entire day fighting.

A proper meal sounded wonderful.

Jonathan led them through several streets before finally stopping.

The place wasn’t some luxurious restaurant.

Instead, it was a large open-air food stall built along one side of the street.

Stanley and Betty returned. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
