Chapter 137: Chapter 137. Hunting With Kids
"Over here, over here..."
Myne and Fenrir's children after coming back from his house, start their hunting. As most of the forest was unofficially personal property of Fenrir the most powerful being who lived here, her children who consider it as their playground, of course, know almost all the good places where they can hunt some powerful and rare monsters.
Myne who was bordly babysitting three over-excited beasts, while yawing lazily walks toward the direction where the youngest child of Fenrir whose life he save just run.
"Is this little kid has never-ending energy? Otherwise, how can he is still so excited after running around for two hours continuously?" Myne asked the other two little guys who were just walking beside him calmly and have no mood to help their younger brother who is running around crazily.
"Who knows, he always has the most energy among us when it comes to playing, sometimes he even plays till late at night, so Mother has to beat him up before he could calm down and fall asleep obediently."
"And he also woke up very early, and then start ruining our sleep, while shouting in his annoying loud voice, "Wake up, let's go, let's go, let's play," because of him I had to make myself a secret place a little away from home so that he could not find me and I could sleep peacefully at the morning."
As Myne listened to their complaints in his mind, and come to the location where suppose to be a dangerous monster waiting for them, he saw a very familiar sense, the overjoyed little boy had again defeated a monster almost 10 times his own size, and was currently jumping over its dead body wagging his tail.
This simple hunting game is nothing more than just search, destroy & collect. Of course, Myne is the only collector, and Search and Destroy is the department of Fenrir's children.
"Praise me, praise me..."
When this little guy first time killed a powerful monster, in order to motivate him more, Myne pats him and praises him wholeheartedly which makes him so happy that after which whenever he kills any monster, he comes to him while saying "Praise me, praise me," nonstop.
Sigh, so cute, if he didn't stop adorably frolicking around me like this and bring me wealth non-stop, then I might even have some thoughts of kidnapping him from Fenrir as well, Myne thought with a gentle smile, caressed the little guy soft and hairy heads while playing with his fluffy throats and start praising him...
"Who is the most amazing beast here? You are. Who can beat big and dangerous monsters easily, of course, you can..." Myne spoke in the cutest way he could which tell the truth wasn't much pleasant to hear and praised the little guy, just like how mothers in his town do to their children which he heard many times while wandering in the market.
"By the way, now I understand that you three can easily beat those weak monsters, so let's search for some strong monsters if possible," Myne said gently and all three of them nodded their head instantly, clearly they also felt like those weak monsters are ruining their mighty image of children of the Divine Beast and they should hunt more powerful monsters.
"Leave it to us!" the three of them said together and broke into a run deep into the forest.
"As expected of the children of the Divine Beast I can always count on them when it comes to making a profit through hunting," Myne nodded his head with satisfying expression while following the three of them lazily, he have no mood to participate in their hunting game and destroying their fun.
"Myne, look we found a prey who is trying to hide from us," Fenrir's child who looked the biggest among the three calls out to Myne excitedly a little farther away from him.
"Trying to hide? How so," Myne asked and hurriedly come behind him, and saw the other two little kids beating a large praying mantis, who every once in a while disappeared from everyone's sight and then reappear after getting kicked in its face by kids who somehow can detect it even in its invisible state.

"F*ck, bloody loss, I thought it has the invisible skill, but it turn out to be its camouflage ability," Myne annoyingly cursed the giant mantis's entire family for not having the skill he hope for, and order kids to beat the hell out of it, after he cut off its skills and only useful ability, and pasted them on a random stone before putting it in his Inventory, although he can't use camouflage abilities but it is still quite useful ability so Myne decide to give it to Ted after going back.
Hearing Myne's order kids soon killed the mantis monster easily, and just as Myne put the body of the mantis in his Inventory, suddenly a giant dragonfly come flying on top of them while staring at Fenrir's children with its big creepy eyes.
"It seems like this idiot has a crush on you three and wants to eat you, look how greedily he is looking at you all," Myne telepathically said mocking kids for fun and making them frown.
"This bastard dare to think of eating us?"
"Seem like because of the size it thinks of itself as this forest's greatest predator, huh?"
"Let me show it to its place, so it won't dare to look down on little guys in its next life," The youngest kid spoke with a frown and suddenly his eyes become purple and the dragonfly who was majestically flying in the sky and looking down on everyone as if it was watching ants, with a bang fall down from the sky, making a meter deep crater on the ground.
After making the dragonfly land on the ground forcefully through his Magic Eye of Gravity skill, the little guy rushed toward the dragonfly like a bull while howling angrily and with a single jump he directly landed on the back of the confused dragonfly who was still don't understand why he suddenly felt so heavy pressure on his body and fall on the ground in the blink of an eye.
While the kids are playing with the Dragonfly happily, Myne on the other hand was using appraisal skill on this new idiot like always...

"Well, with those kinds of skills and abilities, this dragonfly indeed has some capital to be arrogant, it's just today it chose the wrong target base of our size, that's why people say never judge a book by its cover," Myne mumble while shaking his head, and quickly stole the poor dragonfly skills and abilities, who doesn't even get chance to use them before he becomes target practice of its preys.
"Okay, boys calm down, that dragonfly is already dead, if you didn't stop now then its' boby might lose all its value," Myne said calmly while coming beside them.
"Myne did you see how I kill this idiot? Now praise me, praise me..."
"You again did a good job my little divine beast, now let go and sit under that tree and take some rest. Let me show you guys the food we Hume eat," Myne said dotingly while rubbing the little guy's head.
After which Myne and the kids took an hour of rest, and Myne show them the magic of Aisha's cooking, which of course won their hearts and stomach, after all, although they are divine beasts, but at the end of the day they are still beast s, of course, they can't cook food.
They also eat raw meat just like other monsters, it just that their meat quality was very high filled with massive amounts of magic energy which made it very delicious naturally without any need for cooking, but compare to real cooking it was still quite pale.
"Myne I want more."
"Me too, me too."
"I want more of that fruit juice of yours."
Hearing kids shamelessly asking for more food after eating around 100 days' worth of delicious food if he eats alone and emptying his entire Inventory, big veins start appearing on Myne's forehead from anger, but thinking that those kids are working hard to hunt monsters for him, Myne calm down his anger, and reply while standing up from the ground, "Sorry kids, but I only had this much of food currently, but don't you worry when our hunt is over, I'll go to the city and get you three lots of food, so much so that you won't even be able to finish it."
"Really!"
Three of them ask together, and seeing Myne nodding his head in approval, they become so excited that before Myne could say anything they already start running in a random direction to hunt more monsters.
"Why does it feel like my pocket is going to be empty very soon? The way they ate just now and the size of their stomach which doesn't match their body, I hope they don't eat more than what we are going to earn from the hunting, Myne thought worriedly and follow those three overexcited kids who currently have nothing but delicious food in their mind.
