My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Luke was not a greedy boy, so he well understood that a few valuable things in hand, were not 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 over his own body.

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

Outside the shed, Matthew and Meredith were arguing, because she wanted to go inside to help Luke, but Matthew was smart and knew that the fall would alert the guards again.

Sarah and Shiro were also flapping their lips across the street.

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

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

"Only you break down the door then!"

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 me."

Sympathetic looked Shiro 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, so I can help our friends."

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

The guards talk 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 a shadow with the sun that hit the box, the boy opened the lid a little. The bluish glow intensified a little more.

In the box was a magic jewel, a piece of the sea, an ice dragon heart. These were the extraordinary possibilities that went through Luke's mind when he saw the small, almost transparent stone.

Hypnotized by that deep blue, the half-wolf unconsciously brought his hands to the silver tiara where the sapphire was held. As 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.

As he somehow floated 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 had put the deck aside and were playing 'Luck or Fight'. 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?" The half-wolf could hear a fearful voice ask, 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 direction of the guards, 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 keep from falling because of his 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, of which Matthew commented, this will not have been worth it.'

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

Knock! Knock! They knocked on the wooden gate again, which got the guards' attention and allowed Luke to pass between aisles two and three.

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

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

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

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 huge grin. When Shiro and Sarah saw that he was going to 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 voice thanks to his sensitive ear, missed the jump.

Luckily, Matthew caught his hand, which prevented the half-wolf from falling. The leader of the pack 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 felt that opportunity had fallen from the heavens.

"Shit, the adventurers saw us!"

"I'm not dropping everything!" shouted Luke, who, even though he was carrying six kilos in his bag, didn't seem to have gotten any less fast.
