I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Once they reached a suitable distance, Yuhaka climbed up a nearby tree, and Meru followed. After sitting on a branch, Yuhaka took out her binoculars to check on the bison about a hundred meters away. The bison had not noticed Yuhaka and her companion and were still leisurely foraging for food, completely unaware that a hungry beast had its eyes on their flesh.

Seeing that the bison were some distance away, Miruko asked Yuhaka how to attract their attention. Yuhaka touched her chin and thought for a moment before deciding to use a move she hadn't used in a long time: imitating the bison's call.

Volume 1 [The Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1602 [Old Tricks and the Anomaly of Time]

On a grassy area by a lake, a herd of bison covered in thick fur were leisurely foraging. Because they were herd animals, the female bison gathered by the lake to forage and take care of their calves, while the male bison were on the periphery, guarding and protecting the female bison and their calves.

Even so, there are still some buffaloes that don't take their work seriously, like that one particular buffalo.

When a bison is far from the herd and outside the herd's warning range, it is generally the most vulnerable bison to predators.

It's the same now.

"Moo~~~"

With a call from a bison, the bison far from the herd looked up with a puzzled expression, chewing grass as it looked in the direction of the sound. The voice seemed to be calling to it, which made the lone bison feel strange. The other bison walked towards the direction of the sound, and after walking into the woods, the lone bison looked around and found no other bison, which also made it strange.

Just then, two whooshing sounds came from the side, and two arrows struck the bison's heart, lungs, and spine, instantly paralyzing its mobility and delivering a fatal blow. Well... rather than a fatal blow, the bison was still struggling to call for its companions, but unfortunately, due to massive bleeding in its heart and lungs and the severed central nervous system in its spine, the bison's cries were limited, and it was difficult to escape. Before long, the bison lost its life.

At this moment, Yuhaka and Merushin emerged from the bushes nearby. One of them was holding a mechanical compound bow, and the other was holding a mechanical crossbow. Clearly, the two arrows just now were shot by Yuhaka and Merushin.

Looking at the fallen bison, Miruko also looked at Yuhaka with a surprised expression and said:

"As expected of a master, you took down a prey without alerting the other bison!"

Hearing Melyuki's words, Yuhaka also showed a "=w=" expression, but at that moment, the two suddenly heard BB's voice say:

[Beep beep beep~ Contestant "Diarmuid" has been temporarily removed from the competition after being killed by a wild boar]

Upon hearing this news, Yuhaka and Melusin looked at each other with puzzled expressions. They were clearly very confused, after all, Diarmuid was a warrior, how could he have been killed by a boar?

However, after news soon arrived that Diarmuid's master had temporarily left the field along with the opponent, Melishin looked at Ehaka with a relieved expression and said:

"Although I don't know why, I suddenly feel that it's really great that Master is Yu-Yu."

"OwO?"

Hearing what Mirushin said, Yuhaka was also completely bewildered. Although she didn't know why, Yuhaka still had a "=w=" expression on her face, her head held high and her big tail sticking up high.

Then, realizing something, Yhaka hurriedly went to the bison and tried to put the spoils into the dimensional hole. But to everyone's surprise, as soon as Yhaka touched the dead bison, it turned into data and disappeared in front of Yhaka and the others. Seeing this, Yhaka had a bewildered expression, obviously not expecting why the prey in front of her would suddenly disappear.

Soon, BB's voice rang out again, saying:

Oh, right, I forgot to remind everyone, the prey you hunt will be automatically collected and converted into points after you touch it, so you don't need to worry about not having a place to put your hunted prey~ Well, that's all, happy hunting everyone~

“OO..................”

Upon hearing BB's words, Yuhaka's eyes immediately lost their color.

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

In the ensuing hunt, Yuhaka seemed to channel his resentment into motivation as he hunted the prey within his field of vision. At the same time, Melyuki also discovered a problem: Yuhaka's attributes did not seem to be restricted. Yuhaka was able to easily catch up with a fleeing deer and shoot it dead with an arrow.

Upon seeing this, Melyuki couldn't help but think of something. BB originally stipulated that the attributes of Servants could not exceed the range of ordinary people by too much, but it did not specify what the abilities of the Master should be. This made Melyuki wonder if BB had neglected to set this rule.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Miruko quickly dismissed the idea. After all, the other party was a super AI, so it was impossible for them to have forgotten about this.

You have to remember that in the first match, Yhaka was quite dominant, so how could the opponent have forgotten those things?

Therefore, Melishin specifically told Yuhaka not to expose this ability too much. Upon hearing Melishin's words, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood and would suppress his ability slightly, at least not revealing it too much on the surface.

Even so, Yuhaka and Meluxin's hunting speed was still much faster than the other teams. After all, Yuhaka was not only experienced in hunting, but could also act as a hunting dog. Although using Yuhaka as a dog made Meluxin feel a little strange, Yuhaka was so useful that Meluxin didn't know why.

Soon after the competition ended, Yuhaka and Merushin won first place with the highest scores.

After the hunting competition ended, Yuhaka and Melusin were teleported back. Medea and Lily looked at Yuhaka and the others with surprise upon their return and said:

"Huh? Master, you guys are back so soon?"

Upon hearing Medea Lily's words, Yuhaka and Melusin looked at her with some confusion and said:

"Huh? Our match has been going on for three hours already, how can it be fast?"

Medea Lily and Abigail were slightly taken aback by Meluxin's words. Then, Medea Lily pointed to the clock beside her and said to them:

"Huh? Three hours??? But only 3 minutes have passed here."

The two looked bewildered upon hearing Medea Lily's words. Then, they looked towards the clock and discovered that it showed three minutes had passed since they left, which puzzled Yuhaka and the others.

What is going on here?

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1603 [Oil Painting Competition?]

Upon hearing the information they had learned from each other, Yuhaka and the others also looked somewhat surprised.

"So, when you participate in the competition, the Master's abilities won't be affected like those of the Servants?"

Regarding Medea Lily's question, Miruko nodded and said:

"Yes, just like Medea Lily said, Master is not affected by ability limitations. Although I don't know if BB forgot this, I feel that something is very wrong."

Hearing Melishin's words, Medea Lily nodded slightly. After all, Ehaka had performed exceptionally well in the previous competition. She was the only Master who could eliminate a Servant using her Master status, so BB couldn't possibly have overlooked her.

Furthermore, Ehaka's previous hunting competitions, where he used his abilities to find prey, demonstrated enough to show how he differed from other Masters.

Regardless, everyone felt that Yuhaka shouldn't reveal his abilities too much, or at least not too obviously. Although they didn't know why, they all thought it might be some kind of trap.

However, before everyone could think of anything, the appearance of the gashapon machine interrupted their thoughts. It seemed that BB was not giving anyone a break from the competition. However, Yuhaka was not that tired, so it didn't matter.

Furthermore, due to the nature of the competition, Yuhaka and her team must earn enough points to advance to the next match. After all, this might be their only chance to defeat Altair, and BB's troublesome nature necessitates eliminating the opponent, otherwise the entire world will be in trouble.

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

After Yuhaka got the second gashapon, the content of the competition inside made Yuhaka and her friends feel a little confused, since the competition was about painting, or more precisely, painting oil paintings.

This is not good news for Yuhaka and the others, since they have never painted in oils. If it were a sketch, Yuhaka could come in handy, because when she is extremely focused, she can completely replicate what she sees with a sketch.

But oil painting... Yuhaka and the others have never been exposed to oil painting. Yuhaka has never even touched paint. Of course, Yuhaka has come into contact with some of the materials used as paint, but those were things that Yuhaka regarded as food or garbage.

Meluxin and the others were also a little worried about this, but after hearing Zelus's words, they were relieved. According to Zelus, Yuhaka has a strong learning ability. Whether someone teaches him or he learns on his own, there is basically no need to worry about Yuhaka not learning anything. As long as there is enough time, there will be no obstacles. The only obstacle is the issue of time, since Yuhaka also needs a certain amount of time to learn.

Of course, if someone were to teach him, Yuhaka could learn even faster, and coincidentally, there was someone who could...

This time, Yohka chose Abigail as her partner. Well... to be precise, it should be Abigail (Yog). Although Yog cannot come to Yohka and the others in person, Abigail (Yog) can still help them with other things. After all, in Yog's world, all the wizards, artists, and thinkers are projected into him from different dimensions, so teaching Yohka to paint oil paintings shouldn't be a problem.

When Yuhaka and Abigail arrived at the competition venue, they found themselves in a small studio. However, they didn't see anyone else there, which meant that each master had their own independent painting space. This was good, as no one would disturb them.

Then, in the BB rules introduction, there are 5 Masters and their Servants in their own studios. Each Master needs to draw the appearance of their Servant within a limited time. The more similar the Servant's appearance is, the higher the score.

This sounds simple, but if you ask a master who doesn't have a talent for oil painting to do it, it will be quite a headache.

However, this doesn't apply to Yuhaka and her friends, because oil painting requires a lot of paint and canvas, so there's no need to worry about materials when teaching Yuhaka to paint.

Later, under Abigail's (Yog) instruction, Yohaka also learned how to paint in oils.

"Okay, that's about it. Did you learn it?"

Possessed by Abigail, Yog patted the person painting the "Mona Lisa" and asked Yuhaka this question. Upon hearing Abigail's (Yog's) words, Yuhaka nodded with an "OwO" expression, indicating that he understood how to paint it.

Seeing that Yuhaka knew how to draw, Abigail nodded with great satisfaction. It seemed that the other party was a good child who was eager to learn. Then she went to change her clothes.

The reason for changing clothes is also related to oil painting. The simpler and plainer the clothes are, the easier it is for the painter to paint. After all, the goal of this competition is for the Masters participating in the oil painting competition to paint their own Servants. The more realistic the painting is, the higher the score will be.

Abigail's (Yog's) black dress and second-stage spirit dress were too complicated, which would waste a lot of time and increase the difficulty of drawing. So Abigail (Yog) was wrapped in a long white cloth. At first, Abigail (Yog) planned to let Yuhaka draw her without any clothes on, since it would be easier to draw that way. However, she was stopped by a blushing Abigail in her mind. After all, she didn't know if others would see the competition, so it was better not to be too unrestrained. Abigail (Yog) then compromised and simply draped a white cloth over herself.

Abigail compromised on this, after all, she had to consider her master's feelings. In any case, with the white cloth covering the area, not too much would be exposed, so Abigail didn't have much of an objection.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1604 [Fast Forward a Little]

"Hmm, as expected of a child of the Lawful Ones, the drawing is really good."

Abigail (Yog), who was only draped in a white cloth, couldn't help but admire the painting by Yuhaka. On the canvas in front of Yuhaka, Abigail's (Yog's) figure was imprinted on the canvas like a photograph. If it weren't an oil painting, Abigail (Yog) might have thought that Yuhaka had taken a picture of her.

In the oil painting, Abigail (Yog) is lying on her side on the sofa with a white patch covering her body. She looks quite normal, but if a person with high inspiration sees this oil painting, they will probably fall into some kind of hysterical frenzy.

Let's do a SAN value test with 1D100.

Hearing Abigail's praise, Yuhaka, standing to the side, naturally wore a =w= expression, looking quite proud. Of course, it might have been better if Yuhaka hadn't been covered in paint like a big cat.

After Yuhaka finished painting, he handed the painting to the payment counter. With a flash of light, the painting was taken away.

After finishing these matters, Yuhaka and Abigail were teleported back. Upon their return, both Yuhaka and Abigail wore puzzled expressions. When Melishin and the others saw Yuhaka looking like a big, colorful cat and Abigail wearing a white cloth, they were also completely bewildered. Clearly, their appearance was a bit hard for them to process.

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

After giving Yuhaka a bath and cleaning off the paint, the results of the oil painting competition were announced. Unsurprisingly, Yuhaka won first place. After all, Yuhaka's painting speed and precision are the strongest, so it's quite normal for her to win first place. In any case, Yuhaka and her friends' victory in this competition gives them a slight lead in points over the others.

Seeing the gashapon machine suddenly appear, Yuhaka and the others stared at it with bewildered expressions. Medea Lily, who was drying Yuhaka's hair, looked at the gashapon machine with a strange expression and said:

"Speaking of which, does this gashapon machine just pop up once someone has finished their competition?"

Regarding Medea Lily's question, Miruko, who was standing next to the gashapon machine, reached out and patted it, saying:

"I don't know. But then again, what would happen if we just left this gashapon machine untouched?"

Hearing what Miruko said, Yuhaka and the others were stunned. Ten minutes later, because they didn't turn the gashapon machine, it remained motionless, like a decoration, without disappearing.

Seeing this, Yuhaka and the others, who were eating instant noodles, couldn't help but speak up:

"Hmm... It seems that as long as we don't touch it, nothing will happen to that gashapon machine."

Miruko, slurping her instant noodles, also expressed her relief, saying:

"Indeed, that way we don't have to worry about this thing going off like an alarm clock while we're resting."

Upon hearing Melyuki's words, Yuhaka nodded with an O~O expression. After all, Yuhaka didn't like anything suddenly disturbing her while she was sleeping, and even the good-tempered Yuhaka felt the same way.

After a short rest, Yuhaka and her team continued the competition. With their efforts, they defeated many combinations of Masters and Servants. Over the course of three days, Yuhaka and her team achieved the highest score and successfully advanced to the next round.

Among them, 25 masters were eliminated. As for who was eliminated, Yuhaka and the others did not know. It is likely that this question will only be answered after the relevant national forces conduct an investigation.

Back in the void, Yuhaka and her team collapsed onto the sofa like exhausted office workers, leaning against each other. After all, they had put in a lot of effort in the previous competition, and had worked hard to avoid being eliminated, defeating many opponents.

Perhaps those masters were simply too weak.

Hmm... perhaps it's normal for those Masters to be weak, since humans can't defeat monsters...

After Yuhaka and the others returned, Kurumi Tokisaki came over with drinks and said to them:

"Thank you for your hard work. We've seen all of your performances on TV."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka accepted the drink from her and thanked her. The others also expressed their gratitude after receiving their drinks from Kurumi. Melyuki, who had been chugging down her drink, seemed relieved and said to Kurumi:

"Phew... Don't even mention it. To be honest, I didn't expect them to prepare such a complicated competition. What are they trying to do? Are they planning to work us to death?"

Regarding Meluxin's complaint, Zelus, who suddenly appeared from the side, explained to Meluxin and the others:

"Whatever they do, we've gotten some good stuff on our side."
