"Heh… You messed with the wrong guy, chibi~," Hazuki smirked, throwing a quick glance at the twitching thugs on the ground.
With that, he casually whistled as if nothing had happened, hands in his pockets, strolling back toward the Adventurer Guild.
The defeated Halflings groaned in confusion, completely unsure of how they had just been taken down in mere seconds.
Hazuki patted his pocket, feeling the small map still tucked safely inside. He checked his money pouch—yep, still there.
"Heheheh… Can't wait to reach that cave and claim my treasure!" he grinned to himself, his eyes glinting with excitement.
"But first—" he smirked, cracking his knuckles, "—let's hit the Adventurer Guild, withdraw some money, buy a bag, stock up on food… and grab a good ol' waterskin."
With his plan set, he strolled toward the Adventurer Guild, whistling a carefree tune.
After stopping by the Adventurer Guild, Hazuki withdrew some money and asked for directions to the cave.
