The Insatiable - Chapter 30

After figuring out what he needed to do, Haruhiro plans to immediately leave the following day. He decided to bring a few people along so that they could help him drive the vehicle that would be used to carry the equipment they will bring back to the camp.

He bade farewell to Shiori, Erina, and Himeko. Before he left he gave Ayaka a kiss on the forehead and swore in his heart that he will help her. Haruhiro and Nanako then left.

Returing to their room, Haruhiro could see that Anna and Yasumi have already gained enough strength. He wants to do another round with them but he knows that he must first prepare for tomorrow.

Anna has already worn her clothes but Yasumi only covered herself with a blanket. She actually wanted to wear her clothes but in her hear a voice keeps telling her that she wants more rounds with Haruhiro.

He also needs to consult some matters with the girls. Matters like how many people should be brought or who these people should be.

“Anna, what do you think should I do?”

Haruhiro then asked Anna about his concerns.

“Let me think… We have around a hundred people in the camp, forty of these people are from the people that just joined us while the remaining are the people that we could trust. You can’t of course just bring the people that we could trust outside since our camp also needs to guard against these people.

I know that you’ve shown that you have the ability to scare them all but after all, you’re going to leave, what then? We’re not sure if these people will behave.

Also, we can’t just ignore the issue about outside forces that could threaten us. We don’t know how long you’ll be outside, I’m not confident about the camp’s security without you Haru. Which is why I suggest that we should mix the people that you would bring and also limit the amount you would bring.”

When Haruhiro and the girls heard Anna talk about the threats from inside and outside of the camp the expressions on their faces changed. That’s right, it’s dangerous to bring too many people outside and leave the camp unguarded.

“Hais~ If only I could do it on my own I would.” Haruhiro sighed. Indeed if he could move all the equipment needed on his own and if he also knows what pieces of equipment are needed he won’t have to rely on these people that he can’t trust.

“How about bringing me Haru-chan? I can already somewhat control my ability, I believe that I can help you.”

Haruhiro looked at Nanako, he could see the earnest expression on her face. He felt warm inside because he knows that this mature woman is actually worried about him going outside of the camp. He patted her head while saying, “Thank you for that Nanako but I need you inside the camp. Anna and Yasumi will need you by their side.”

He then looked at Yasumi who’s been silent and also patted her head. “I know that you want to help but I’ll be more assured if you’re here. The Sentry can also guard your safety.”

Yasumi feels quite helpless because her ability doesn’t really help Haruhiro but brings him more trouble. She’s been told that her “charm” ability affects others especially the opposite sex, Yasumi then realized why all those eyes would always fall in her. Now she hates this ability more.

Haruhiro is not aware of what Yasumi is thinking, he continued to pat her head.

Anna then said, “Right Haru can you somehow obtain more of those? If you can that would be a great help.” She is naturally talking about the Sentry. Haruhiro knows that the Sentry is really useful but the price of a Sentry in the System is expensive.

However, now that Anna has asked he would naturally comply. He looked at the System’s store and purchased a Sentry. A Sentry’s price is 150 Greed Points, making Haruhiro’s original 320 Greed Points decrease to 170 Greed Points.

Of course, he doesn’t want to buy the Sentry because he is actually saving his Greed Points for more skill books that can help their camp’s people grow stronger. However, now that he needs to gather equipment out of the camp the girls’ safety must come first.

“I can bring out another one.”

Saying that he took out the Sentry from his Inventory. Once he did a humanoid figure with a black and white colored armor. It then immediately saluted to Haruhiro while saying, “Greeting to Leader!”

Haruhiro nodded. He then looked at the girl’s dumbfounded expressions and smiled. Haruhiro motioned for the Sentry to move out of the room and wait just outside the door. He then said to the dumbfounded girls, “What now?”

That smug look on his face irritated Anna, she pinched his waist surprising Haruhiro.

“Naturally what’s next is for us to decide who will go with you.”

They then talked about this matter until Yasumi yawned. Haruhiro looked at the clock in the room and discovered that it’s already past nine.

“The three of you should rest.”

He decided that they should rest since they’ve covered almost everything that’s needed to be discussed he doesn’t want to tire the girl’s too much.

Anna is actually still not that tired but when she saw Yasumi and Nanako’s appearance, she can only nod. The girl’s then lied down on the bed while Haruhiro sat at the sofa in their bedroom.

He almost forgot about his reward from the hidden quest “A New Beginning”. Haruhiro took it out of his Inventory and observed it intently. This box doesn’t have any designs on it if seen people would even think it’s a normal black box. Haruhiro opened it and saw the contents.

When Haruhiro opened the black box it emitted a bright light for a few moments before disappearing. The girl’s, of course, noticed this, they looked at Haruhiro and noticed the black box.

“Haruhiro-san?”

“It’s okay. I’m just fixing some stuff.”

The girls nodded, Anna and Yasuni returned to sleep while Nanako stood up, she sat beside Haruhiro and looked at the contents of the box curiously.

[Loot Box opened! Items gained:

1x Dungeon Card

1x ZiP Pistol

3x Magazine

200 Greed Points ]

Haruhiro doesn’t know what to feel as he read the holographic screen in front of him. Was his luck that bad? Why does he feel that what he got are all items of low quality?

He first took a coin from inside the black box, when he did information appeared in front of him.

[Greed Points: The System’s Currency

Amount: 200 ]

Haruhiro is surprised that this small coin actually contains 200 Greed Points, this coin is black in color and has the ouroboros design in front of the coin. At the other side is a wolf’s head.

He placed the coin back into the inventory and noticed that the coin disappeared and is placed into the Greed Points. Now, Haruhiro has 370 Greed Points.

The next thing he paid attention to is the ZiP pistol. This is the first time that Haruhiro could see a gun that looked like this. The ZiP pistol is extremely small, reminiscent of azip gun, or improvised single-shot firearms.

He placed the magazine where it should be and loaded it. Haruhiro somewhat feels that this gun is quite uncomfortable for him but since he got it for free, he would naturally use it. Also, since the color of the pistol is black he naturally likes it.

Nanako looked at the gun, Haruhiro could see that she has some interest in it so he gave it to her to observe.

Haruhiro then looked at the final item. A Dungeon card, he’s seen this item before from the System’s Store and obviously knows its function. He actually wanted to purchase one but he doesn’t have the necessary amount of Greed Points. He didn’t think he’ll be able to obtain one… Of course, he thinks that just one isn’t sufficient.
