My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Luke wasn't a greedy boy, so he understood that a few valuable things in hand weren't worth as much as his curiosity healed. And if he didn't go to that faint blue beam, he felt he might die of curiosity.

With this in mind, the boy carefully left his larger bag on the floor and began to climb up the shelf. The place was very dusty, which made the half-wolf's sensitive nose itch, but by then, he had enough self-control of his own body to avoid sneezing.

One meter, then two meters, three meters, four, and five. Finally, he was almost reaching the large box when the light came out as a window partially illuminated it, the glow could even come from a glass bottle, but that didn't matter to the half-wolf.

Matthew and Meredith were arguing outside the shed because she wanted to go inside to help Luke, but Matthew was brilliant and knew that the fall would alert the guards again. Sarah and Shiro were also arguing near the shed.

"We have to distract the guards. That is our only function."

"No, that has never worked twice. They'll ignore us."

"Then let's break down the door!"

Shiro looked surprised at Sarah, who was usually pretty coy and hardly spoke, but now she was even suggesting breaking things. "No... they would kill us."

Sarah looked over from head to toe and said: "If you are afraid of the guards at this size, imagine me. But, I still want to go there, I want to help our friends."

At the top of the second shelf, the half-wolf managed to dodge the light from a skylight and reached the lid of the wooden box.

The guards were talking loudly and were all sitting around a small table, which was just across the aisle between the second and third shelves.

Luke knew that if it wasn't for him there, anyone from his group would have already been spotted by the quintet. Careful not to cast any shadows with the sun that hit the box, the boy slowly opened the box's lid. The bluish glow intensified a little more.

Into the box maybe was a magic jewel, a piece of the sea, an ice dragon heart. A Lot of extraordinary possibilities went through Luke's mind when he saw the small stone, almost transparent. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Hypnotized by that deep blue, the half-wolf unconsciously brought his hands to the silver tiara where the sapphire was held. When he touched it with his fingertips, Luke felt his consciousness whiten, and then, he felt as if he had been pulled out of his own body.

While somehow he was floating in the air, Luke saw time stop, or rather, it was much slower. At the table where the guards were playing cards, Luke saw that they were playing 'Luck or Fight' in the deck version. He also saw the millions of light fragments that invaded the shed through the skylight and overtook him, as if he were a ghost.

"Who are you?" A fearful voice asked the half-wolf, but his mouth couldn't answer. "I don't think you're the right person..."

After that, Luke's consciousness returned so fast that he felt nauseated, dizzy, and weak at the same time. The boy didn't think much of it and let go of the tiara.

'What was that?' He quickly peered in the guards' direction, who were acting in the same way as before. 'The guards didn't notice that?'

While holding on to a part of the shelf to not fall from dizziness, Luke took a cloth from his pocket and tried to touch the tiara again.

With sweating and trembling hands, he touched it, and nothing happened. However, since he didn't want to test whether the cloth was the reason, he just put the tiara in the small pouch attached to his belt.

In the large box, there was nothing else.

'If this is one of the cursed objects that Matthew commented, maybe it will not be worth that much.'

The half-wolf carefully reached down and picked up the pouch he had left on the ground. Aiming for even more money, to not have to repeat the theft another day, he picked up several trinkets that were around and filled the bag halfway. He could have filled it completely, but he wouldn't be able to climb up to the skylight on the other side of the shed.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the wooden gate of the shed again, which caught the guards' attention and allowed Luke to pass through a small hall.

Two and three. Knock! Knock!

"I wonder if it's still the children?"

"Let's ignore them! I'm winning!"

"I don't know, it might be the boss, better answer it."

The same guard who answered earlier stood up, sighing, and went to the gate. The wood creaked as it opened. Nheeec! "What do you guys want again?" He questioned when he saw Shiro and Sarah.

At this point, even from the entrance, it was not hard to see Luke climbing the fifth shelf, which was well lit by the sun. Sarah saw this and started to say: "I'm sorry about before... I don't know how to ask this... but we are very hungry. It's been over three days..."

By now, Luke was very close to the skylight. Matthew saw him and broke into a large smile. When Shiro and Sarah saw that he would make it out in time, they started running before he finished speaking what they were discoursing about.

The guardian, who turned to his friends with a confused look, noticed a small all-black figure that was ready to jump up to the skylight. "HEY! YOU! STANDING THERE!"

Luke, who was startled by the man's thick and too-loud voice to his sensitive ear, missed the jump.

Luckily, Matthew caught his hand, preventing the half-wolf from falling. The gang leader pulled Luke up and shouted to Meredith: "Run, run!"

However, much to the misfortune of the little quintet of thieves, Oukiwa was a town packed with greedy adventurers. From the street next to the shed exit, a group of adventurers saws the children start to run and got the opportunity as it had fallen from the heavens.

"Shit! Some adventurers saw us!"

"I won't let go of all that money!" shouted Luke, carrying six pounds in the bag on his back, he didn't seem to get any slower.
