The Heiress Of The Legendary Family [S1]
Knight Exam: Stage 2 (Completed)

"Don't you feel like this second stage exam is too easy?" ask Eden suddenly.

Casilda looked at him for a moment. "It's not too easy, but it's like this" he replied. "There are times when we have to use the brain as best we can under any circumstances, and that is the main goal of this second stage."

"But... What if something happens?" Eden's still worried.

"Oh, just calm down. I'm right here!" casilda said proudly while pointing at herself. "My instincts will never go wrong. Believe me!"

Eden took a breath. After all, he would never be able to win in their debates. "Yes already, is.. It's up to you" he paled.

They had solved the second riddle. The item they had to grab was the eggs of the S-rank poisonous spider that was asleep.

And yeah, they got it. Not so difficult, because the bed time of the poisonous spider is quite long, about 8 hours per day.

But that's not what they're worried about. Their attention is...

"Eh, don't you realize, anyway? The eggs are like giant quail eggs" chirped Casilda who had noticed the eggs they took.

Eden approached the girl. "Ah, you're right. I just realized."

The egg was 20 cm long and 14 cm wide. The pattern is like a pattern on quail eggs. The difference is, in this egg the pattern is reddish in color.

"If I make an omelette out of this egg, how big would it be, huh?." asked Casilda while imagining it. 'Ukh... I'm drooling... Looks delicious..... I'm gonna try...'

Eden looked at Casilda with a flat face. 'Ah, he started again' his inner self while snorting in annoyance. 'But, I admit it's quite funny' he added with a knotty smile.

"Yahoo!!!" Charles squealed from the direction he was coming. The handsome young man in pale green had just returned with a few wooden twigs he had brought. "I've brought what you asked for!!"

"Yeah!!" Casilda also shouted. "Bring here, yaaa!!"

"Okay, Kaaakk!!"

Eden raised next to his eyebrows did not understand. "What are the branches for? You want to make a campfire?" tanyakanya. "Well! Or maybe... You want to cook that egg?!" ask her while pointing at the spider egg.

Casilda fell silent, then clapped her hand once. "ah! I'm not thinking! That's a great idea, thanks!" he said while giving two thumbs to Eden.

"Hey!! I'm just kidding!!"

"Don't yell at Brother, brengshake!!" charles protested when he was near them.

"Yes yes, whatever." Eden rolled both his eyes. His gaze was fixed on Casilda who was shorter than him. "So, can you explain to me what all these twigs are for?"

"okay." Casilda nodded. He took a twig and showed it to Eden. "This is our way of finding stuff on the third puzzle."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yep!" Casilda took out a piece of paper containing the third puzzle.

Actually, I'm not small. The proof is, I can take shelter. Unfortunately, there was something much higher towering than me.

I envy him who stands firm without a gap. In fact, he has green hair that is always bright because of exposure to the sun. Do I believe that I am only the tip of her foot.

I do not have beautiful hair like her, but at least I have an umbrella that can protect me and the 'formicidae'.

That's enough for me.

Charles sweatdrop read it. "Kok it feels, he's kayaking, anyway?" said it.

Casilda shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "Don't. Again confused, at best" he said absurdly.

"Then do you know the answer, Casilda?" ask Eden. "It's related to ants, right?"

"Huh? How can?" ask Charles.

"Formicidae is the Latin name of the ant, the fool" ketus Eden.

"Curtain!" Charles turned his gaze from the other direction. Intention wants to beat him, but still remember that there is Casilda beside him. Mending was a coward rather than angering her brother.

"Rubby, dong! I'm smart!" said the sapphire girl proudly. "Not like you, pfftt." he added with ridicule.

"Gtsi..." Charles also mocked in the same style as Casilda.

"You guys...💢💢" Eden held back her frustration. One person alone was enough to make him feel annoyed, let alone two people like these two brothers.

"Don't be angry again, dah" Lerai Casilda. "Mending we go now, so we can nyantuy in that building later."

Then, the two of them made their way to where the third object was, with Casilda in front, leading the way.

"So, can you explain what that is?" ask Eden curious.

"OK" nods Casilda. "First, as you said, ants are the key. If it's something that has a 'umbrella' that can protect ants, then it's one type of wild fungus that lives here."

"The characteristics of the fungus are the parts of its body that are shrouded in ants. But the problem is, in this forest there are many types of fungi that have the same characteristics. I've detected it with [Eve's Detection] earlier."

"Then, how are we going to go to that place?"

"The answer is sunlight" said Charles, who inexplicably interrupted their conversation.

"Oh! What could it be, that mushroom is located under a sun-lit tree?" guess Eden.

"Yep!! Eden is right too!! This place is a remote island that is very minimal access to incoming sunlight. Of course, it will be easy for us to find where the tree is" Casilda said.

"ah! That's it!" The sapphire girl pointed in a direction. "We've arrived!"

The three of them were now in front of a lush green meadow. Unlike the surrounding dark and gloomy place, the meadow was exposed to the sunlight that pierced through the dark clouds there.

The sunlight that pierced through the clouds was focused on one point, the main character located in the middle of the meadow. Especially if it is not a giant tree that is lush and towering.

The tree seemed to give off a unique and interesting aura, just like the waterfall a moment ago. This 'colored' green aura is soothing to the eyes and mind.

'I guess, I am familiar with the aura and smell of this place' Inner Casilda while glancing at Charles who suddenly became petrified. "Charles? You why?"

Eden also looked. Just like Casilda, she looked towards Charles who was silent in his place. 'So Casilda, now Charles. Why are they, anyway? They seem to be called by strange things. Who exactly are they?'

"Ah, Brother! That's mushrooms!" charles screeched suddenly as he pointed towards the tree. His sharp eyes could see in all directions even the smallest point easily.

"Oh? Really true?"

Charles nodded small. "Um! I saw some reddish-white mushrooms over there" he replied.

"Okay, I'll take it." Casilda approached the tree, followed by Charles and Eden. Once they got there, Casilda picked up some of the mushrooms.

"Heemmmmhmm... If it is made omelette topping mushrooms is good too, yes" he said.

"Let's make it, brother!!" charles agreed.

Eden looked back at them with a flat face. 'Start again...' However, a second later, his lips covered a small smile.

'But, I admit, it entertained me. They are interesting people...'

"Well, we've solved the puzzle, I'm back" asked Casilda.

Grepp

His right hand held Charles's, and his left hand held Eden's.

"E-EH?!" Even the surprised Eden instantly faded. He was in shock because Casilda suddenly held his hand.

"Why? It's just for [Teleportation]" Casilda said. Behind him was Charles who was emitting a super-dense negative aura.

'Gapain you see my brother, ha?! Wanna fight now?!' That was the question Charles asked with his gaze.

"O-oh, n-no, really. Hahaha...." Eden laughed blandly while scratching the back of his head.

"okay." Casilda nodded small. "Get a tight hold!"

The two young men clasped Casilda's hands tightly. Do not forget the aura of hostility that Charles put on Eden.

"[Teleportation]"

SHATTS

Instantly, the three of them were already on the inside of the old building they had come to when they first set foot on this island.

'Ah, I've arrived' Inner Eden while glancing at Casilda. 'His ability is really great. Who is he really?'

Prok prok prok

The butler came out of the darkness clapping his hands. "Congratulations, you guys are the first group to make it here."

Casilda nodded small. "Where's this?" he asked while lifting the three things they had found.

"Bring me up."

The girl approached the butler and handed him the three items. Afterwards, the girl recounted the chronology of how they got the items.

Meanwhile, Eden looked at his hand held by Casilda. 'I just realized. The barbarian and determined girl had small hands. Hands too..... Gentler. L'm... Want to touch it again....'

As if understanding, Charles immediately glared at the jet-black disembodied young man. "Don't think you can do that, you idiot!" He approached Eden and clutched her collar firmly.

"Because as long as I'm here, I won't let other men touch you, including you!" added Charles.

Eden then singled out a cynical grin that was very annoying in the eyes of Charles. "Oh yeah? Are you sure you're stronger than I am?" ask him in a mocking tone.

A line of anger appeared on Charles' cheek. "Of course!! And I won't let a brengshake guy like you touch Brother!"

"Hmph, just try" challenge Eden still with a grin.

The two of them stared at each other sharply. No one wants to budge between them.

Casilda who was approaching them was silent to see the aura of hostility of the two people.

'Why are they looking at it? They don't like each other, do they?'

TBC.
