I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Youyou! Are you alright?! We'll get you out right away!"

"Rico! Reig!"

Upon hearing Riko and Regu's voices, Eyhaka immediately tried to wag its tail, but unfortunately, its tail was pinned down by a rock, preventing it from moving. However, this did not stop Eyhaka from crawling out of the rock.

Boo!

As Yuhaka emerged from the rock, he saw the familiar loli wearing a metal helmet and the golden twin-tailed loli wearing glasses.

"Huh!? Yu-Yu-chan, are you alright?! By the way, why do you have a pair of horns on your head now?"

Riko looked at the pointed horns on Yuhaka's head and asked in confusion, while Regu, standing beside her, said with a speechless expression:

"Uh...shouldn't we pull Youyou out first?"

Hearing Regu's words, Riko seemed to realize what was happening, which made her a little embarrassed, so she scratched her cheek. After Riko and Regu pulled out the pile of rocks from Yuhaka, Riko curiously looked at the pointed horns on Yuhaka's head.

After all, Riko knew very well that before, Ehka only had cat ears on his head, but after Ehka defeated the Rock Dragon and was buried by rocks, a pair of sharp horns appeared on Ehka's head.

That's really puzzling...

Curious, Riko reached out and touched the pointed horn on Yuhaka's head. Yuhaka looked at Riko with an "OwO?" expression, not quite understanding why Riko was touching her horn.

But that didn't stop Ehka from wagging his big tail, while Regu, standing to the side, was very envious of Ehka's big tail.

However, Regu quickly coughed and said:

"Ahem, Rico, I think we should leave here quickly. I wonder if this cave will collapse again."

Hearing Regu's words, Riko nodded at her as if she understood. However, when Riko looked at Yuhaka's hands, she noticed that the Endless Hammer that Yuhaka was holding was gone.

A puzzled Riko looked at Yuhaka and asked:

"Huh? Yu-Yu-chan, where's my Endless Hammer? Is it still in those piles of rocks?"

Upon hearing Riko's words, Yuhaka took out the Endless Hammer, which was reinforced with Dragon Smash materials, from his dimensional portal. Riko and Regu looked completely bewildered.

Rico and Regu knew exactly what the Endless Hammer looked like; it was shaped like a pickaxe. But now, the Endless Hammer in Ehaka's hand looked like a giant hammer.

Riko stared blankly at the Endless Hammer in Yuhaka's hand and said:

"Um... Yu-Yu-chan? What's that thing??"

Hearing Riko's question, Yuhaka tilted her head with a puzzled look and said:

"The Endless Hammer?"

Chapter 476 [Yohaka: Youyou doesn't know! (Looking smug)]

Yuhaka looked at the Brachydios Endless Hammer in his hand with an "owO?" expression, wondering what it was if it wasn't called the Endless Hammer.

However, Rico didn't feel anything was wrong with the Endless Hammer turning into this form. On the contrary, Rico became even more excited after seeing that this giant hammer was the Endless Hammer.

She didn't know that the Endless Hammer could "transform," and of course, Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, had no idea why Riko looked so excited.

However, the changes to the Endless Hammer also brought some trouble to Rico, namely... it's too heavy!

The original Endless Hammer was made of sturdy and lightweight wood and hard metal. The Dragonbreaker Endless Hammer, on the other hand, is made of heat-resistant and explosion-resistant Dragonbreaker material and hard Shining Dragonstone. It is much heavier than the original Endless Hammer.

The Endless Hammer, which she used to be able to swing freely, can now be swung very few times. However, Rico doesn't seem to mind. At least the durability issue of the Endless Hammer has been resolved, so Rico doesn't have to worry about it breaking.

As for the weight... Rico can just treat it as exercise.

However, when they fought the Rock Dragon, Riko and her companions brought far less luggage, but at least they kept the important things, such as essential items like cooking utensils and fire-starting tools, as well as some climbing equipment.

Most importantly, Riko's backpack was destroyed.

Riko sighed as she looked at the backpack in her hand, which had shrunk considerably, and said:

"Ha... I guess I can still use this backpack even though it's become like this..."

Regu, who was standing to the side, scratched her cheek and said:

"Then what shall we do?"

Riko looked at the tattered remains of the backpack and said:

"Hmm... let's tie things up a bit with rope, that way we can at least hold them until Nanachi... maybe?"

Rico and Regu then used ropes and the remains of their backpacks to wrap up the remaining luggage. Although it was a bit difficult to carry, it was the only way they could manage now.

Soon, Regu, carrying the goods tied with ropes on her back, followed Yuhaka to the area where Nanachi was located.

...............................................................

The fourth level of the Abyss, the location of the [Chalice of Giants], at 7000 meters...

"Phew...we've finally arrived..."

Rico was panting heavily, kneeling on the ground. She was covered in dust, her clothes were torn, and she was covered in a sticky substance that smelled of fruit. Earlier, when she was passing through the underground tunnel inside the Great Fault, Rico had accidentally tripped over a stone.

So, before Ehka and Reg could even react, Riko rolled down a slope like a ball. Neither Ehka nor Reg had a chance to process what was happening. No, rather than Ehka not reacting, it was more accurate to say that Ehka's thought process and reaction were different from most people's...

At the time, Riko's rolling movements, like a ball, led Yuhaka to mistakenly believe that Riko was trying to imitate the "rolling" movement of the Red Armor Beast.

Besides falling and rolling away, Riko also accidentally fell into a giant plant that looked like a pitcher plant. If it weren't for Ehaka's sudden superpowered search ability, Regu probably wouldn't have been able to find Riko.

"Rico...are you alright??"

Regu looked at Riko, who was kneeling on the ground, with a worried expression and asked this question. Meanwhile, Yuhaka looked eager to lick Riko's body. After all, the fruity-scented slime on Riko's body looked very sweet, which made Yuhaka a little unable to resist.

Riko stood up, brushed the weeds off her clothes, and said to Regu and Yuhaka:

"Uh-huh, I'm fine now. I just want to go to Nanachi's house to take a shower as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Rico looked at the sticky liquid on her body with a speechless expression. Although the slime had a pleasant fruity smell, it was the digestive fluid used by that pitcher plant to attract those pitcher rats. If she didn't get rid of it quickly, who knew what kind of effect the digestive fluid might have on her body.

Soon, led by Ehaka, they finally arrived at Nanachi's house on the fourth floor of the Giant's Cup. Upon seeing them, Nanachi complained:

"Um, you guys are finally here... Oh wow... Riko, what's with your outfit...?"

Nanachi looked at Riko's disheveled appearance with a speechless expression and said to her:

"Rico, what's going on with your outfit?"

Hearing Nanachi's words, Riko scratched the back of her head with an embarrassed expression and said:

"Hehehe...I accidentally tripped and fell..."

Hearing Riko's answer, Nanachi was speechless. She couldn't imagine what kind of fall Riko would have made to end up like that, and it even smelled quite nice.

Rico addressed the crowd:

"Um... I'm going downstairs to take a shower first!"

As she spoke, Rico ran down to the small pond below as if she were fleeing.

Seeing Riko run away, Nanachi shook her head helplessly and said:

"Never mind, it's good that you're all alright. Regu and Yuu, please come in and have a seat."

Regu said "Excuse me" and went into Nanachi's little house. Yuhaka also went into Nanachi's little house. Soon Yuhaka saw Mitty lying on the carpet.

When Mitty saw Yuhaka and the others arrive, she let out a few soft whimpers, as if greeting Yuhaka. Nanachi looked at the pointed horns on Yuhaka's head with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Huh? Youyou, when did you grow horns on your head?"

Hearing Nanachi's words, Yuhaka looked up in confusion, touched the pointed horn on his head, and then looked at Nanachi with a smug expression, saying:

"Youyou doesn't know~!"

Seeing Yuhaka's reaction, Nanachi almost fell to the ground. You don't know any better and you're still so self-righteous?!

I really don't understand what Youyou's brain is made of...

Chapter 477 [Sweet and Sour Pine Cone Fish]

Under Nanachi's speechless gaze, Yuhaka walked straight into the kitchen. Seeing Yuhaka enter her kitchen, Nanachi immediately showed a drooling expression, since Yuhaka only went into the kitchen to find delicious food or to cook delicious food.

Nanachi was 100% certain that Yuhaka was there to cook, because Nanachi knew very well that Yuhaka would never eat her cooking, even if it showed some improvement.

Just as Yuhaka had thought, Yuhaka went into the kitchen to start cooking. He had been feeling a bit hungry during the Great Rift Valley.

After entering Nanachi's kitchen, Yuhaka took out the tools from his dimensional portal. After using the modern kitchen utensils, Yuhaka felt that he couldn't live without them.

After preparing the cooking utensils, Yuhaka also began to prepare the ingredients. However, while Yuhaka was preparing the ingredients, he suddenly realized that he didn't have enough fish from the dimensional cave.

Seeing this, Yuhaka was puzzled. Didn't he catch a whole bunch of fish last time?

Why aren't we getting enough fish?

Looking at the huge pile of large fish inside the dimensional cave, Yuhaka scratched his head. He realized that the fish dish he was going to make later required small fish, not large ones.

Then Yuhka peeked out from the kitchen and looked at Nanachi and Regu in the living room. Nanachi and Regu looked at Yuhka with puzzled expressions and asked, "B..."

"What's wrong, Youyou?"

After hearing Nanachi and the others' questions, Yuhaka told them:

"Youyou, there are no more little fish."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Nanachi immediately realized that without fish, there would be no dishes made by Yuhaka.

Nana immediately stood up and said:

"Let's go catch fish!"

As she spoke, Nanachi pulled Regu, who was standing to the side and hadn't even realized what was happening, to go catch fish with her.

After seeing Nanachi and Regu leave, Yuhaka retreated into the kitchen to prepare the other ingredients needed.

After a while, Riko, completely naked, returned to Nanachi's hut with the clean clothes in her hands. Seeing that Nanachi and Regu were nowhere to be seen, she looked puzzled and said:

"Huh? Where did Regu and Nanachi go?"

Hearing Riko's words, Yuhaka poked her little head out of the kitchen and looked at Riko, saying:

"Off to catch fish."

Yuhaka's answer surprised Riko slightly, but upon reflection, it was almost time for dinner.

"ah?!"

Just as Rico was thinking about something, she suddenly felt something licking her calf, which startled her. Rico looked down and saw Mitty licking her little feet.

Seeing this, Riko looked at Mitty with a completely bewildered expression and said:

"Mimi?! What are you doing?!"
