I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

The secretary nodded in agreement with the javelin's request, saying:

"That's not a problem. Completing the previous mission to capture the dark elves has already been enough to upgrade you to A-rank adventurers. However, because a group of dark elf assassins have taken refuge over there, it might become quite... troublesome. Even so, do you still want to go and take a look?"

Upon hearing this question, Yuhaka and Maye both replied with an air of smugness:

"Youyou is strong, the bad guys can't escape! =w=~"

“That’s right, that’s right! And I haven’t even really made a move against Maye Blazer yet!”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the secretary broke out in a cold sweat.

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

After receiving the dungeon-related quest, Yuhaka and her group arrived at the dungeon, which was located far from the city. Here, they could see an adventurer's camp surrounded by wooden walls. They also saw soldiers with serious expressions guarding the area. After all, the adventurers who had been guarding the area before had been killed without anyone noticing, so the soldiers dared not let their guard down, fearing that they would be the next to be assassinated by the dark elves.

After handing over the passes provided by the Adventurers' Guild to the guards, Yuhaka and her companions entered the adventurers' camp. Perhaps because the adventurers here had been assassinated by the dark elves, there were very few adventurers, but quite a few soldiers. The soldiers looked at Yuhaka and her companions with curiosity, since adventurers who could come to the dungeon were generally powerful, and Yuhaka and her companions didn't seem to be.

Yuhaka and the others didn't pay much attention to the soldiers' gazes. After arriving at the entrance to the underground city, they looked at the huge stone gate, which was several meters high, and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

"Um... Yu-Yu-chan, doesn't this door look a little familiar?"

"Mmm~"

Regarding Javelin's question, Yhaka nodded, indicating that he had seen this gate before; it was the same gate that Yhaka and Javelin had seen near the ancient tower.

Javelin's lips twitched slightly. Did the other side not even change the style of their gate?

However, they didn't say anything about the javelin. After they entered the dungeon, they noticed that there was a long downward staircase at the entrance. Even though there were torches around, it still looked like it was bottomless.

Upon seeing this, Karyl couldn't help but rub her arms. Fortunately, the secretary said there were no signs of ghosts, which reassured Karyl somewhat. However, the pitch-black darkness below still made Karyl feel uneasy.

Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, saw Karyl, who was afraid of the dark, tilting her head and looking at her. At this moment, Yuhaka was wondering why Karyl was so afraid of the dark. Her own Merlins were all night owls and were not afraid of the dark at all, but Karyl seemed to be afraid of the dark. This made Yuhaka wonder about Karyl's race.

So, while Karyl looked around warily, Yuhaka quietly came up behind Karyl and grabbed her tail, which was wagging uncomfortably.

"Meow—?!"

Karyl, whose tail was suddenly grabbed, let out a cute scream. At the same time, Karyl's scream startled Maya and Javelin, causing them to turn around to see what had happened to Karyl. Then they saw Yuhaka grab Karyl's trembling tail.

"???"

Javelin and Maye, who witnessed this scene, also looked puzzled, clearly not understanding what was going on.

After being startled, Karyl slowly turned around and was stunned to see Yuhka with an OwO expression. Karyl probably didn't expect that it was Yuhka's own tail.

Yuhaka tugged at Karyl's tail, looking surprised, and said:

"Really OoO?"

Hearing Yuhka's words, Karyl snatched back her tail, gripped it with both hands, and looked at Yuhka with a disdainful expression:

"Of course it's real! How could it be fake?! By the way, didn't you see it when you were taking a shower yesterday, Youyou?!"

Regarding Karyl's question, Yuhaka looked at Karyl with an "OwO" expression and said:

"Then why is Karyl afraid of the dark? Isn't Karyl a cat?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Karyl also looked like she didn't know what to say. Could it be that cats can't be afraid of the dark?

However, Karyl couldn't say it directly, otherwise her image would be shattered in the eyes of Yuhaka and the others. Of course, what Karyl didn't know was that in Yuhaka's eyes, she had already become a cat afraid of the dark.

But just then, heavy footsteps came from not far away, attracting the attention of Yuhaka and the others.

P.S.: I haven't been feeling very well lately, and I'm a bit restless. I wonder if it's because I've been sleeping too late.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1468 [Self-Destruction! Another self-destruction!]

Upon hearing heavy footsteps approaching from not far away, Yuhaka and the others turned their attention to the distance. Thanks to her night vision, Yuhaka clearly saw a wooden puppet that looked like a Titan mech walking towards them.

After taking out the glowing ore she had used earlier from the dimensional cave, Yuhaka threw it at the other party. With a flash of light, Javelin and the others saw the huge wooden puppet. Upon seeing the wooden puppet, everyone quickly picked up their weapons.

"The enemy has appeared. Just as the secretary said, there are autonomous dolls here, but they don't seem very strong..."

Upon hearing Javelin's words, Karyl quickly replied to Javelin:

"Wait! Don't judge a book by its cover, what if the other person—"

"Hey! Take this from Mayeblazer!"

Before Karyl could finish speaking, Maye, wielding a lance that resembled a giant sword, charged towards the opponent. Karyl was caught off guard by Maye's sudden attack, but when she saw Maye easily cleave the opponent in two with a single spear thrust, Karyl was speechless. After all, Karyl hadn't expected Maye to take down the opponent so easily, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

Maya blinked in confusion as he looked at the autonomous doll that he had cut in half and that lay motionless on the ground. Maya had originally thought that this enemy would fight him for more than ten rounds, but he did not expect that the other party would be so weak and frail. It was cut in half and lay on the ground after taking one shot. This made Maya feel a little bored.

"Eh... so weak. I thought this guy was really strong..."

However, when Maya turned around and saw Yuhaka pointing behind him, Maya looked puzzled and turned around to see a large group of autonomous dolls appear not far behind him. Maya was startled by this sight.

Fortunately, Yuhaka and her team also made their move, and with a series of attacks, they easily eliminated the autonomous dolls.

"Phew~ It seems these enemies, though they look strong, are all show and no substance."

Karyl, wiping away sweat, said this, while Javelin, standing nearby, cautiously asked Yhwach:

"Hey, Yu-Yu-chan, these autonomous puppets won't self-destruct like those flesh and blood puppets from last time, will they?"

Upon hearing Javelin's question, Yhaka's wagging tail tensed up, clearly indicating that Yhaka had also thought of something unpleasant. Karyl, who was standing nearby, was also stunned by the conversation between Yhaka and Javelin, then turned to them stiffly and asked:

"What did you two just say? An explosion?"

As soon as Karyl finished speaking, the autonomous dolls lying on the ground began to tremble, and the crystal-like things on their chests began to shine.

Upon seeing this, Yhaka immediately transformed into a giant shield to block them, and used his psionic energy to pull everyone over.

With a deafening roar, Yuhaka and the others also felt a strong impact. However, because Yuhaka used her shield to block it, the impact was well absorbed by her shield, but the deafening sound was something else entirely.

After the explosion ended, Yuhaka and his group staggered out from behind the shield.

"Ughhhhhh... My ears, my ears..."

Karyl, covering her cat ears, looked like she was about to fall to the ground, while Yuhaka and the others were slightly better off, since the two of them were ship girls and the other was a primitive Zerg.

Yuhaka shook his little head and recovered, followed by Javelin and Maye. Yuhaka looked at Javelin and Maye and asked:

"Javelin, Maya, are you alright?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Javelin nodded and said:

"Yes, I'm fine, but Miss Karyl's condition might not be so good."

Upon hearing Javelin's words, Ehaka looked towards Karyl. He then saw Karyl swaying like a wriggling eel on the Coral Highlands. Ehaka walked over, grabbed Karyl's face, and began to rub it. With a burst of radiance emanating from Ehaka's hand, Karyl quickly recovered.

"Waaah... Thanks, Youyou. I didn't expect all those autonomous dolls to explode. Could it be that the creator of these autonomous dolls is some kind of explosion maniac?"

Karyl couldn't answer that question either, but the only thing she could be sure of was that the dungeon was quite sturdy. All those explosions hadn't caused the ceiling to collapse, and even the seemingly old floorboards hadn't been blasted into a crater. If it weren't for the deafening explosions and violent tremors, Karyl would have doubted whether the explosions were even real.

After learning that the autonomous dolls could explode, Yuhaka and the others decided to eliminate them from a distance. After all, eliminating the dolls from a distance would prevent them from being affected by the explosion. Karyl and Yuhaka didn't want to hear any more explosions around them, and since the dungeon was quite sturdy, they unleashed a barrage of attacks on the autonomous dolls that tried to rush towards them.

Under these circumstances, Yuhaka and his group finally arrived at the room where their target was located.

Yuhaka and the others looked up at the towering stone gate before them, while Javelin, standing to the side, seemed a little nervous and said:

"Is this the room where the peculiar autonomous doll the secretary mentioned is located?"

Regarding the javelin issue, Karyl nodded as she looked at the map in her hand and said:

"Hmm, this is probably the place. To be honest, I find it quite strange that it went so smoothly..."

Hearing Karyl's words, Yuhaka and the others present were also puzzled. Maya, looking at Karyl with a puzzled expression, asked:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing Maye's words, Karyl immediately offered an explanation:

"It's the dark elves! Isn't it suspicious that they haven't shown up yet?!"

Upon hearing Karyl's words, Yuhaka and the others realized that the dark elves had not appeared. After all, the secretary had said that the dark elves had infiltrated the dungeon, and their continued absence was quite suspicious.

Javelin stroked his chin and said in confusion:

"Oh right, there was also a group of dark elves who escaped, but like Karyl said, they don't seem to have left any trace. Yuu-chan, have you found any clues about the dark elves?"

Upon hearing the question about the javelin, Yhaka nodded slightly and said:

"Hmm, Youyou can smell the underground rats, but it's very faint, and it's hard to find them OwO."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Karyl's expression turned very serious as she said:

"That would be troublesome... If the other side doesn't come out, we'll be in a very passive position, and they could launch an attack on us at any time."

Thinking back to the cave collapse, Karyl felt a chill of fear. She was really worried that the dark elves might set up some insidious traps again.

Seeing Karyl's serious and worried expression, Javelin patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, saying:

"Don't worry, Miss Karyl, with Yuu-chan here, those dark elves won't be able to cause us any trouble with traps or sneak attacks~"

Hearing Javelin's words, Karyl turned her gaze to Yuhaka beside her. Seeing Karyl looking at her, Yuhaka gave Karyl a thumbs-up and said:

"What a great man, OwOd~"

Seeing this, Karyl also had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

P.S.: I'm so sleepy.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1469 [Operation Against the Giant Autonomous Doll]

In fact, the dark elves did not look for them. After Yuhaka and the others opened the heavy stone door, they saw the huge autonomous doll that the secretary had mentioned. The huge autonomous doll was about 20 meters tall, much larger than the autonomous dolls that were only 4 or 5 meters tall outside.

Moreover, the material of this giant autonomous doll is different from that of the other autonomous dolls. Most of the other autonomous dolls are made of wood and metal, but this giant autonomous doll is made of metal, and its defense is much stronger than that of ordinary autonomous dolls.

Seeing the enormous autonomous android not far away, Javelin stared at it with a wide-eyed, bewildered expression and said:

"That giant autonomous puppet might self-destruct or something, right?"

Upon hearing Javelin's words, Karyl, who was standing nearby, was also startled and said:

"No, don't say anything so terrible! If such a huge autonomous doll explodes, the entire dungeon will collapse!!"

"No way...?"

The thought of such a large autonomous doll exploding was unpredictable, and just then, Yuhaka suddenly raised her little hand and said to everyone:

"Youyou has a way! OwO/~"

Upon hearing Yhaka's words, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Javelin looked at Yhaka curiously and asked:

"Yuyu-chan, do you have any ideas on how to deal with enemies that can self-destruct?"

Everyone was equally curious about the javelin, after all, they didn't know how Yhaka came up with a way to deal with such a self-destructing enemy, and they had never seen Yhaka use it before.
