Nero, The Legendary Hunter

"By the way, what do girlfriends do? Do they also make babies together?" The innocence in Yui's eyes made Nero speechless. Even Choko, who was about to have a nervous breakdown seeing her ask to be Nero's girlfriend in front of her, was stunned to hear this.

"They can't, but there are other things they can do instead, but I'm already dating Choko, but I'm still your good friend," Nero told her with a small smile.

"Er... Well, I don't quite understand right now. I'll ask again when I understand." Yui didn't give up. First, she had to figure out what this thing of two girls dating was and how it worked. If that would put her in a grander position than friends, she wanted that too!

"Can you let go of her arm now?" Choko frowned.

"I don't want to. I like being close to Nero," Yui said stubbornly.

Choko took Nero by the other arm and said, "Only I can do this as a girlfriend. You're a friend, you see. You can walk together, but don't cling to her."

"Oh, girlfriends can hold arms? I want to be a girlfriend!" Yui only paid attention to the part where Choko said that because she was a girlfriend she could hold Nero's arm. In the midst of their tug-of-war, Nero was somehow happy but helpless at the same time.

"Okay let's stop this. I'm tired and I want to get some sleep," Nero said after sighing.

"Mm, I'm tired too. I'm going to sleep with Nero," Yui said without following.

"No, you cannot!" Choko yelled: "Only I can!"

"No, I can! After all, I love Nero and she loves me. That's it, it's over, it's decided!" Yui was very stubborn.

"No, she likes you as a friend, got it?!" Choko said as they walked up the stairs to the inn.

Those who heard this were amazed After all, they were two girls fighting over another girl. But even other girls wanted to join the fray. After all, Nero was too handsome.

"Okay, you two stop. Let's sleep, the three of us together." Nero ended their argument. She treated Yui like an innocent girl and saw no harm in letting her sleep in the same bed.

However, Choko wasn't happy about it, but it was still understandable to some extent. She forced herself to think that Yui was just a child who didn't understand things. In the end, Nero was in the middle while the two were clinging to her, still arguing to see who would hug Nero the most...

This went on for hours and Nero, who wanted to sleep, didn't sleep for a good long time until the two got tired of arguing and fell asleep. Sighing, Nero was finally able to sleep.

"I'm going to do it!" Nero woke up to Yui's cold, soft, and slightly stubborn voice. She rubbed her eyes and heard Choko's voice next.

"No, you don't even know how to fry an egg. I'm going to make Nero's breakfast. If you behave, I might think about making it for you too."

"No, I don't want you to. If anyone's going to make me breakfast, I'd prefer Nero do it for me!" Yui changed her approach.

"Dream on / In your dreams! I will do it for Nero, you stay out of it!" Choko said also, stubbornly.

"Yui doesn't dream. By the way, dreaming is scary, so Yui doesn't dream!" Yui shuddered and almost collapsed. Choko forgot for a moment what Yui had gone through. She was so jealous that she let it cover her reason.

"Excuse me." She apologized sincerely.

Yui, whose eyes almost fell to tears, seeing Choko's sincerity, puffed out her cheeks, but she didn't argue back. She still felt upset. After all, dreams were bad.

Nero arrived in the kitchen and said, "Stop arguing. I'll make breakfast for the three of us."

"But... she started it, I woke up first!" Yui said pouting.

"Okay, it doesn't matter who started it, you two can be friends too. I'll be bummed if you keep arguing like this all the time," Nero sighed.

"I am going to try," Yui said but didn't promise. After all, Choko was very stubborn and didn't share Nero with her, which would make her upset.

"... I will also try to be more understanding," Choko said. Like Yui, she didn't promise. After all, Yui was very stubborn and wanted to get in the middle of her and Nero's love life.

"Umu. Anyway, wait patiently a minute. Now play nice, and if you argue, I won't make breakfast for either of you." Nero said coming out of the kitchen. Nero's threat worked perfectly, as the two looked at each other but said nothing, at most snorted with "Humph!" and turned their faces.

Nero came back after a bit and saw that the two had behaved and for a moment she felt like a mother. She sighed. Nero made something simple: scrambled eggs with sausage and milk, along with some bread that was bought at the bakery.

The three ate in silence until Choko asked, "By the way, what level are you at? We're going to the dungeons, so you need to have the strength to be able to go with us."

"I don't know about that." Yui was sincere, as she had never tested her strength.

"We can test that later by registering you as a Hunter," Nero said. Nero figured Yui was quite capable, maybe she'd reach level 16 or 17? After all, she gave her 3,000 points by healing her. They were points that could strengthen the body, and in fact, Yui seemed like someone above level 15. Her mana fluctuation was strong since she didn't have much control, but she didn't use it. After all, she didn't know how to use it.

"Good morning Nero. Good to see you again, *degozaru*" Jingu greeted her.

"Good morning." Nero greeted her and the rest and said, "This is my friend Yui. She will be part of our group; be nice to her."

"Leave it to us, Nero~" Honda gave a baby punch to the chest and showed confidence.

Yui was still traumatized by people and hid behind Nero, but she still greeted them with her voice low and cool and soft. It was a mixture of spring breeze and summer heat. "Good morning..."

"She still needs to register with the Hunter Association. We are heading to the Hunter Headquarters now," Nero said.

"Okay, let's all go together," Jana said. They also needed to sell items and buy potions.

"Good morning Nero, good morning everyone." The attendant recognized Nero and the rest, but only Nero she called by name. But this wasn't a strange event, as Nero was known throughout the city.

"We came to register this girl here as a Hunter. By the way, don't look at her abilities; just record her level and class, and put her name down as Yui," Nero warned.

This was a basic request. Skills were something private; even a Hunter Association manager wasn't allowed to see if the owner wouldn't let them.

"Okay. Let's take the picture first." She took out a new Hunter Card and took a photo of Yui in the beret. She was told she didn't have to take it off if she didn't want to, just like wizard classes didn't tend to take off their huge hats.

Afterward, the level and status verification was done, and the attendant's hands shook involuntarily.

Nero took it and saw it.

'Well, it was even higher than I expected,' Nero muttered in her mind.

"Okay, you can upgrade her straight to Rank D-, yes? In fact, we all want to update our Hunter Card." Nero said. These days, they had already changed Ranks, even though Nero was no longer Rank D.
