"Choko, can you hear me? Isn't it amazing? It's a dinosaur pulling a cart!

" Nero exclaimed happily as she turned to Choko.

n

"Yes, I am listening. They must be a very rich family since it is rare to be able to control a beast so ferocious to pull a carriage,

" Choko said.

n

"I thought about that too! Wow! Who's in there?

" Nero asked, not wanting an answer. She was just curious about it.

n

"Perhaps, a prince or princess from some kingdom?

" Despite knowing that Nero didn't ask her that, Choko answered.

n

"It makes sense... Mm, anyway, I kidnapped the princess from a clan, and now I also have a princess by my side. Hahaha!

" Nero laughed out loud. She looked a little different than normal, but Choko didn't think it was bad.

nChoko thought this new side that Nero showed her was cute. 'Maybe now she trusts me a little more?' Choko hoped so.

nThe journey continued for two more days until they finally arrived at the entrance to the Nan Empire.

nIf Nero had been surprised by the size of the cities they passed through before, the Nan Empire was gigantic. The walls were at least 10 meters high and the security was even greater, with guards from level 6 to level 7. It was unbelievable.

nBy that time, Nero and Choko had already left Big Blue's back and Nero had Big Blue and Luna return to the summons area.

n

"There are 20 days until Hunter School enrollment begins, so I will pay for a 20-day stay.

" The person in front of Nero and Choko was speaking to the guard.

n

"Each day is 100 Essence Coin.

" The guard, who held a two-meter spear that hit the ground with the handle, said,

"In that case, it comes to a total of 2 thousand Essence Coin.

"

n

"Here you are, Mister.

" Paying, the person used their Hunter Card on something like a machine that passes a card and then the machine dinged and turned green, and then the person passed.

n

"Next!

" called the guard and Nero and Choko approached.

nThe guard's expression changed when he saw Nero and Choko. He mainly focused on Nero and didn't even blink or even disguise his intentions. He saw that she did not wear expensive clothes and was walking, which was easy to imagine that she did not come from a good family despite being very beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

n

"You two are not from the Nan Empire,

" said the guard. Licking his lips lasciviously, he asked,

"How many days do you intend to stay?

"

n

"20 days,

" Nero replied.

n

"Heh... That will be 20,000 Essence Coin for each of you two.

" With a giggle and a dirty look, he said,

"But if you accompany me to that room, maybe I can lower the price.

"

n

"Hey, you can't do that,

" the other guard said.

n'Yes, who does this crazy person think he is?' Choko thought while holding her Hunter Card.

nBut against everything she thought, the other guard added,

"I want to participate in that too!

"

n

"Relax, I was going to leave, but someone has to be on guard, yes?

" The guard who spoke initially said this to the other with a knowing look.

n

"Yes, you're right.

" The other guard didn't mind playing the other guard's second.

nNero's hair was turning pink, and before Choko could speak, Nero said to the two guards,

"Why don't you two go to that room and do what you want to do with me and my friend between yourselves?

"

n

"Yeah!

" The smile on their faces disappeared, and they went towards the cabin, walking as if they were hypnotized.

n

"I recorded everything that happened here and also the moment they tried to extort us,

" Choko said to the other guard and asked,

"Do you still want us to go to that cabin?

"

n

"No, Miss. They were the ones who were wrong. I have nothing to do with it.

" The guard shook his hands in surrender and did not want to get involved with these two insidious girls, especially the one who had managed to control the minds of the two guards.

nBecause of the sexual tension having subsided, Nero's hair went back to white. She was confused herself, but she was not a fool. She knew that there was something related to her and her origin to get the two guards to obey her.

nSeconds later, obscene sounds echoed from the cabin...

nThe other guards shudder in fear. Even the people in line have moved away from Nero and Choko a little.

n

"Yes, that'll be 2 thousand Essence Coin each.

" The guard had to do his job even though he was very afraid.

n

"Here it is.

" Nero and Choko agreed to the price and passed their Hunter Cards over the machine. When the machine flashed and turned green, the two girls passed through the gates of the Nan Empire.

nAfter passing the guards, the two girls looked around. Nero knew immediately how to describe the scenario; it was like the vibrant streets of medieval Europe. The buildings built with colored bricks were incredibly beautiful, while the beautiful stones that made up the floor were clean and without gaps.

nThere were some hills, of course. They weren't really hills, but actually dungeons that were guarded and monitored by the Nan Empire. In addition to the dungeons, this place was certainly wonderful. The sight of so many Hunters walking around with guns was almost like a dream. Nero was delighted and felt as if she were in a world of magic... In fact, she was in one! Anyway, it was all too incredible to be true.

nCrossing his arms over Nero's boldly, despite being very ashamed, Choko said,

"Nero, let's go to the Hunters' Guild. We must send a letter to Jana, Jair, and Breno.

"

n

"Yeah.

" Nero nodded. She also hoped that the three would come to the Nan Empire and enroll in the Hunter School.

n

"Who were those girls?

" One of the guards whispered.

n

"I don't know either, but their training may not be that simple. It is better not to get involved with them,

" said another guard.

n

"Yes, just thinking about what happened and what is happening to those two...

" The first guard shuddered from head to toe.

nMeanwhile, Nero and Choko continued to walk through the Empire.

nSeeing a woman who seemed kind, Choko called her and asked,

"Hello, can you tell me the direction of the Hunters' Guild?

"

n

"Yes, just go straight and take the first street on the left, and you'll be able to see the Hunters' Guild,

" the woman replied with a gentle smile.

nOn the way some men couldn't help looking in Nero's direction. Seeing this, she sighed and thought she should buy a mask or something that would camouflage her presence.

nAfter walking for a while, Nero and Choko arrived at the front of the Hunters Guild. It looked like a palace. They're was even a bell at the top that was surrounded by bars made of bricks and iron.

nWhen they passed through the door that was so big it looked like it was made for 600 cm tall giants, Nero and Choko saw that the Hunters Guild lounge was silent for a brief moment, but then the people standing inside the Hunters' Guild practically ignored or avoided looking at Nero, as it was a very serious problem to cause problems in the Hunters Guild.

nGoing to the reception Choko already had the letter for her friends written and asked for it to be delivered to one of the Hunters Guild branches.

n

"That's a thousand Essence Coin,

" the beautiful receptionist said with a professional smile.

nDespite being a tad expensive, Choko paid the woman.. Unlike Nero, she didn't earn a lot of Essence Coin when using and therefore she didn't have a lot of Essence Coin left now.

n
