What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 193 Another Cave

Apparently, because I was the one who dealt the most damage to it, it was considered my kill according to Emilia, thus the corpse was considered my spoils.

I wasn't really familiar with party etiquette so I just took her word for it.

The Mana Crystal was worth quite a bit and even its parts could be sold as well. Thus, I spent so ti disassembling it with the help of my Shadow Summons.

"I've never actually seen an Umbramancer do this before… Heck, I've never even seen an Umbramancer with this many summons either…" Emilia muttered while watching the scene beside .

"Hmm? Why don't Umbramancers do this?"

"Normally Umbramancers can only summon like… One Shadow Summon, Lady Aster."

Eh?

She saw my surprised face and she showed a stunned look as well, "Does… Does Lady Aster not know about it? I thought for sure you were using so kind of artefact that allowed you to bypass that restriction…"

"Umm… Why are Umbramancers normally restricted to only one summon?"

"I don't know… I'm only proficient in the very basics of Umbramancy myself but it's just sothing everyone knows… I think? Unless there's so kind of breakthrough in this magic study that I don't know about?"

I shrugged to show that I did not know either.

She grinned at , "I suppose this is sothing you would like to keep secret?"

"Umm… Yes?"

"Hehe~ Five Creas and my mouth is sealed~"

How did I not see that coming?

I reached into my coin pouch and passed her a dium Bronze coin which she quickly kept inside her sleeve before doing a zipping motion on her lips.

After carving up the monster and putting its parts into my Pack of Folding, we were ready to move on again so I recalled my summons back into my shadow, sothing that made Emilia widen her eyes in shock again.

"Did they just… Are they… Are they in your shadow?!"

I blinked, "Umm… Yes? Are you telling this shouldn't be possible too?"

"No! That… Do you an you store all your summons in your shadow and you don't have to chant the spell every ti you wish to summon them?!"

"... Yes?"

Emilia gaped at for a good minute before cradling her head with her hands, "I should have asked for a hundred Creas to keep my mouth shut instead…"

Sothing tells I really shouldn't show my Umbramancy proficiency to anyone anymore unless it's an ergency…

I'm just glad that Emilia didn't ask for more money to keep quiet about that since she wasn't an unscrupulous rchant… At least I don't think she is…

On the other hand, Odeta did not seem to think what I did was weird since she was not that interested in magic in the first place. Thus she wouldn't know what was considered normal and what was not and simply continued saying that I was cool.

Ohhh stop it you~

After I finished healing up everyone including myself, we exited the tunnel from where we ca from, being a little more cautious now just in case that was not the only Tunnel Stalker around.

What's more, my Iatromancy was only enough to heal surface wounds so we were still quite hurt from the exchange.

We went back to the intersection where the path split into five, leaving Odeta to start inspecting each tunnel to decide where we should go.

Emilia and I waited patiently as she checked the walls and floors of each tunnel while I directed my light ball to aid her to see in the darkness.

Eventually, she took a step back and pointed to the right most cave, "All the tunnels have markings of that monster travelling through them except that one."

I tilted my head at her, "Why would that be the case? Is there sothing down that tunnel that stops it from going there?"

Odeta shrugged, "I dunno. I'm just saying what I see."

"Maybe… There's other people there that managed to make sothing that repels that monster?" Emilia suggested.

"I guess that ans we're checking that tunnel out?" I asked.

The other two didn't see anything wrong with my suggestion so we decided to just head down that tunnel with Odeta leading the way.

Our walk down the dark tunnel was silent with only our footsteps echoing along the walls, the light ball over my head being our only source of light.

Soon enough, we started hearing sounds coming from up ahead and we paused to listen to it.

It took us a mont to realise the sound ca from soone speaking though the words were too faint to make out what exactly was being said.

The three of us looked at each other and nodded before we proceeded once again with more caution this ti.

The voice got louder and louder until we spotted light up ahead, prompting to dismiss my own light ball so that we could approach it without drawing attention.

Going closer, we quickly realised it was soone singing a song up ahead.

Wondering just who could be singing in such a place, we continued until we reached the source of the light.

We erged in a cavern similar to the one with the goblin village except this one had a pool of water in the centre that occupied a good three quarters of the cavern. On the dry part of the cavern were several pieces of furniture arranged haphazardly though most of them were bookshelves filled with various books.

Sitting by the edge of the water with their sides facing towards us were a group of five won, all of them busy doing each other's hair. The only one who didn't have soone to style at the front was where the singing originated from.

Hearing her singing from inside the tunnel was incomparable to hearing it in person as it sounded especially beautiful to the point of leaving captivated for a mont. Odeta and Emilia seed to be affected too as we were content with just standing there and listening to the song to completion.

It took a mont to realise that all five of them were rmaids

When the song ended, the girl that was singing just happened to look in our direction and she let out a gasp.

"Look! Look! Everyone!! I told you there were people here and you didn't believe !"

The other four rmaids paused in their actions to look in our direction as well, their expressions ranging from surprise to shock and disbelief.

The first rmaid turned to us as far as she could with her tail still in the water, "Hi!! Nice to et you! Are you shipwrecked survivors? It's been so long since we had any visitors! And you're all girls too!"

Emilia narrowed her eyes at them, "You don't happen to be related to the rmaid Pirates, are you?"

The five rmaids looked at one another.

"What's a pirate?"

"Is it sothing yummy?"

"Maybe it's the na of a ship?"

"Or a group of rmaids!"

"Sorry, we don't know any rmaid pirates here."

Emilia seed to relax a little but Odeta seed to still be on edge.

"You're not going to attack us, are you?" She asked.

"Eh? Attack you? Why would we do that? We're all thrilled that we finally got visitors to this island after the last group! It's been incredibly boring here just by ourselves!"

I tilted my head, "There were others here?"

The one who had been singing nodded her head, "So ti ago, a few Mahuns got shipwrecked here and they ran into us as well! They were hiding from so monster I think? Then they stumbled into our little cove here! Are you also here because of the monster?"

I assud she was talking about the Tunnel Stalker and was about to tell her that we killed it when Emilia stepped forward, "Yes! There's a really scary monster in the caves and we had to run to avoid it!"

Eh?

Oh… I see… She still doesn't trust the rmaids yet and considering we were attacked by a few of them, it might be better to make ourselves seem weaker than we actually are to get them to lower their guards.

That reminds …

"Were you in the lake outside the cave just now?" I asked the rmaid.

"Oh! Yes, I was! I must apologise for that! I was surprised to see there were people here so I rushed back here before I was able to call out to you!"

"Then how did you get here from there?"

She tilted her head, "Eh? I swam here of course. Oh! You might not know this but the water here is connected to the lake and also to the sea via underwater caves!"

Ah… Ok… At least I know that this island isn't haunted.

What? I'm not good with horror stuff, ok? I'll have you know that that's the one genre that I stay far, far away from! I'll take hot chocolate with marshmallows while wrapped up in my blankets any day over so creepy thing crawling on my bedroom walls at night!

The first rmaid suddenly let out a gasp, "Oh by Yokmii! Where are my manners?! Here! We have so cookies! Do you want so?"

…

There's the sweets!!! Gim, gim!!
