My Magical System

Treasures

After they went inside the tent, Yeman and Mina noticed the things on top of the rectangular table.

Two wooden chests with broken locks that were done in a crude way, because of the visible marks that could be seen around it. It even twisted in the wrong directions.

“You two finally here!” Ronny said when they stepped inside. His face leaked a smile as he anxiously tapped his left index finger on the tabletop.

Ronny, Leo, and Stonehard were sitting in the chairs surrounding the table. They both wearing light expressions on their faces while sending glances at the two young comrades.

Yeman nodded slightly as he took the seat on Ronny’s right side. His face surfaced a puzzling expression.

The wooden chair made a clattering noise when he pulled and sat on it.

Mina, on the other hand, took the chair at Leo’s left side. Her expressions were the usual expressions she had.

The only things that change from her were she didn’t send piercing gazes towards Yeman anymore.

.....

When all of them occupied their seats, Yeman opened his mouth, “what is this Uncle Ron?” He knows that the things in front of them were chests he even noticed what was inside in it. But he needed to ask anyway.

“Fufu, as you can see, they were chest, don’t worry I know what you wanted to ask. The thing is, Stonehard manage to find a secret passage inside the building where we used to hide,” Ronny answered.

“Oh, the bungalow house that surrounded by 2-story rundown buildings?” Yeman asked. Even Mina was surprised and puzzled. This was the first time she learned about it.

“Mhm.” Ronny nodded.

“And then, what of it?” Yeman asked curiously. Mina glanced at Leo. But her cousin closes his eyes while entangled his arms across his chest. Sitting in a relaxed posture.

“Fufu, you really can’t wait, just take a look...” Ronny said as he signaled to Stonehard.

Stonehard lifted his body into standing and slowly lifted one of the chest covers.

When Stonehard fully opened one of the chests, their eyes were greeted by brilliance. Inside the chest was full of gold coins.

Stonehard proceeded to open the second chest. And like the first one. It was also full of gold coins. Mina’s eyes lit up. Her face that always serious surfaces an excited expression.

Who wouldn’t get excited after seeing this much gold coins?

But when she took a glance at the person in front of her. She gawked. Because no excitement could be seen on his face. Just the usual him?

She wondered if this person doesn’t know how much these gold coins cost.

“Haha, so it was gold coins after all,” he said as he scratched his head. It wasn’t like he’s not surprised. The truth was, he already saw through it with his high perception.

Though gold was indeed the highest currency in this world, Yeman was more concerned with gaining soul points than gaining golds.

In his market section, he could exchange soul points with copper, silver, or gold coins. They even appeared randomly in gacha.

If he only had many soul points, earning this much of gold coins was easy for him. Like for example, selling the stuff from the earth in this world.

It was already inside his head. But for now, he needed to find a way to gather much soul points. But, certainly, he was more than happy that Uncle Ronny and the others manage to find such treasures.

Really, if not for his high perception, he might as well as surprised as Mina did.

Everyone was dumbfounded by what he said. Like he casually said it, or like it was common things to see this many gold coins.

They didn’t know that the surprise had been spoiled by Yeman’s perception. That’s why he acted like he already saw it.

“Ahem!” Ronny cleared his throat. “Now that everyone was here, let’s continued on our original issue, if it is okay with you lots, we can share it evenly,” Ronny said.

“I suggest this kid will get 2 while we get 1,” Stonehard voiced out his suggestions as he pointed to Yeman. They also noticed Leo nodded in agreements.

Mina was puzzled, why this guy would get 2 every pick while they get 1? That guy almost did nothing, he even endangered the squad.

Yeman finally showed a surprised expression. He wondered why this guy called Stonehard suggested such a way of distributing these treasures.

“Uhm, I don’t know what made you guy— I mean Uncles to come in a decision like that but, It must be a mistake, for me to take a larger share. I am even fine with a little share,” Yeman said while scratching his face.

Mina’s eyes turned into dots. She couldn’t process this scene anymore. Why these people pushing away the larger share?!

Were their heads functioning just fine? Or did something hit their heads so hard that they forgot the value of these golds?

“U-Uhm, if you guys don’t want a large share may I have it instead?” Mina said shyly.

‘This girl really acted like a meek girl when in front of Leo!’ Yeman thought when seeing Mina acted like a shy person. But certainly, she’s a shy type with a thick-skinned face. She certainly tried to get the larger share!

Well for Mina, if you don’t like it, then give it to me. It’s so simple.

“Ahem.” Leo cleared his throat.

Mina decided to close her mouth. Not good if she angered her big bro.

“We already know, that you lost your memory,” Leo said calmly.

Ronny and Yeman widened their eyes. ‘Their secrets were revealed?! Looks like these two uncles have good observation skills,’ he thought.

“Ahaha, I see, looks like the Blazing and Stone family really lives to their reputation, huh,” Ronny said drily.

Mina was puzzled again. She questions herself if what was this development. ‘What lost memory? Who lost their memory? With this revelation, my mind was in danger as well you know!’ She thought. She was having a hard time processing this development.

She glances at the guy in front of him. He certainly acted unusually. ‘But did he really lost his memory? Hmm... thinking about it, he almost died at that battle. And after that, this guy started to act not the usual him. He is even quieter than before. But how come even his appearance has slight changes? Is that the side effect of his amnesia? He even became stronger you know,’ She was puzzled.

“We even know why you charge ahead after seeing the numerous enemies. If not because of that, and if we decided to retreat that time many soldiers like us would fell victim to the monsters.

Because the battle happened in an empty space, the monster had gathered around us. But because of this, the monsters on the back wasn’t able to attack us. Only the monsters at the front were able to swing their weapons.

With the help of Stone’s shield magic. We found it easy to defend and attack.

If by chance we retreated, they would surely chase after us, and the battle might happen inside the camp. They can hide and run around while attack sneakily to the other soldiers. If that happened, many soldiers might die at that time.

You even took the attack that supposed to land on me. Good thing that you manage to survive at the end,” Leo explained.

Yeman let out a sigh. Looks like this person named Leo was not to be little.

Mina was stunned after hearing this. She stared at the guy in front. “H-He save, B-Big bro?” She unconsciously mumbled.

“Yeah, and because of that, you lost your memory. Anyway, the way you talk to us now is somewhat different from the usual you, you supposed to call us three old men, it’s not like we like being called like this, but just a while ago you said Uncles, that’s one of the reason we suspected that something had happened to you, ahaha,” Stonehard added while grinning wide. He awkwardly scratches his head as well.

“I-I see.” He mumbled.
