Chapter 192 – Words Have Weight.
Her spirit gradually grasped her pattern to Alice, who had excellent body vision and superior physical abilities.
When her fingers grazed the bud in her hair once, she was in danger of being caught.
– Siik!
I abandoned the route that went back and forth between her head and back, and went into my chest.
“Tero?!”
Seeing the spirit sticking out her face from my chest, Alice froze.
As I ran away from her and grasped her intentions transmitted by her spirit, I scratched her head at her embarrassment.
‘It was a joke, but did I say it for nothing…’
The standards of spirits are completely different from those of humans.
It was a unique case in which a spirit that voluntarily fell to the owner stepped forward and asked for it first.
In this situation or the site of the promise corresponding to this, the weight of the words is more important than anything.
At the time of our meeting, the words I brought out as a joke in my own way seemed to be embedded in the spirit like an imprint.
I mentioned the ‘price’, and with my actions, I saved the master from danger.
The spirits are bound and unable to escape without giving me something in return.
A vague feeling that something bad will happen to the spirit if you don’t reciprocate properly.
“Alice. Would you like to hear a story?”
“Yes?”
He calmed down Alice, who was struggling with the spirit in the middle of the heat.
“Before you came, I said something.”
Upon hearing the circumstances and circumstances that brought her to this point, the girl bowed her head with an expression that she had made a mistake.
The restrained action is impressive.
“I’m really sorry for the late greeting. I should have said thank you first, but… Regarding the compensation, I’ll split the request money and I’ll do my best—”
It is a sensitive and tiring money story, not a solution to the current happening.
I hurriedly cut off the girl who was about to bring up the topic of materials that I no longer need.
“It’s fine. I think I’ve seen good things, so it’s a fair price.”
“… If you say it’s good?”
She blinked her eyes, her face not understanding.
“Yonginhwa are precious and cool in the empire, right? They’re special because each one has a different shape. It was the best eye candy I’ve ever seen among mixed-race dragons.”
Although I have seen blood with dragons with real names a few times.
Those of pure blood are certainly strong.
It is no different from a predator with molar teeth from birth.
In general, their personality is also aggressive, and even from the outside, it has changed into the shape of a dragon to the extent that it is too much to be called a ‘dragon’.
They take pride in it.
In my eyes, mixed-blood people are the real dragon people.
“Aren’t you in a bad mood…? He’s got horns, and his arms are so ugly…”
“Not at all? There’s no reason for that. Do you know anything about this side other than that story?”
The important thing in the current situation is this guy who is trying to build a nest over my head.
– Sisal.
I felt the spirit’s intention to tell Alice to do something right.
“…”
As befits a spirit sage, she glared at Alice to see if she had read her spirit’s psychology.
The feeling of urgently tapping my head with her back foot as if asking for help from her ferocious eyes.
Pushed by the lizard’s annoyance, I intervened.
“If it’s only going to end when I repay you… Will you help me with my work for a while?”
If I get help by forcing myself to do a few trivial tasks, maybe it will be released.
“How can I accept the request of Pear and Platinum?!”
The sharp dragon’s eyes loosened, and she was startled with round eyes.
“I didn’t come here because of an adventurer request.
“I’m in the way…”
“Hmm~”
She thought, feeling the restless girl and the spirit resting comfortably on her head.
If you’re forced to ask for what you really need.
A companion to talk to without getting bored?
…
In fact, Alice’s concerns were on the other side.
Her memories of being almost kidnapped by her homeless man when she was young and the flirtation of men who take her lightly.
It was a nuisance just by imagining it, but as the silence grew longer, memories that were no different from nightmares came to mind.
If it’s a sexual request or a really ridiculous request, this situation with platinum and two left is nothing more than despair.
Even if I tried to resist, I wondered if I should bite her tongue and die if I risk being raped.
But what is this?
‘Eh, a companion?!’
It reminds me of the saying that there are no bad people who can see spirits.
‘It’s a heaven-sent opportunity!’
It saved my life, and that’s about it.
I’m not confident in my speech, but if I think of it as a price I can pay for Platinum, I think it’s free.
Rather, if there is something to learn about adventurer work, it is a situation where you have to ask for a companion to hang on to.
‘This is a truly precious experience that will never be repeated…’
Let’s do our best to continue the conversation!
With that thought in mind, Alice followed Roman and brought the subject that came to her mind out of her head and opened her mouth.
The beginning was about the reason for being in this forest.
He listened to his words with a look of interest in the trivial story.
“After all, that orc was the target? It turned out like I stole it.”
“Ah, no! Even if I win, I would have been injured, and if that time passed, the nun would probably be… Very grateful.”
Word by word is unexpected.
When Alice looked back at her own situation.
What surprised me the most was the behavior of an omnipotent man who was worth platinum.
It is that he did not turn away from his situation, which he could handle with a single lift of his hand.
I don’t even make strange demands with that as an excuse.
On top of that, the smoothness of the conversation and the choice of words that one cannot think of as a wild adventurer.
The softness of his words as if he came from another world.
It was completely opposite to the innocence that Platinum possessed.
The sense of alienation from there reminded me of the first meeting, which could be the worst, and confused my head even more.
‘No!’
I forgot about it in horror, but even then it wasn’t the worst.
In the end, it was over with potions and gnomes.
‘Come to think of it, the first meeting was also finished…’
Even if it is platinum, it is not something transcendent beyond species.
In the end, I feel that he is a person who feels emotions like everyone else.
Just like when we met at the church.
“As I said before, there are no seniors and juniors among adventurers?”
So I carefully looked at the man who said that it was okay to throw away the awkward tone.
Even though he was different from the platinum adventurer that Alice had pictured in her head, he was so different that he was unusually strange.
As if they had known each other since Edelman, her hometown.
It didn’t take a big topic to be a talker.
It was easy to have a conversation on personal and private topics, and the girl’s hard tone began to loosen up.
*****
She awkwardly continued her words, but from the moment her words burst, her words began to speed up little by little.
She seemed to have accumulated quite a lot with the same party member.
“When I see young and pretty girls, it’s because I’m haggard… It’s the same this time, but it’s frustrating because I can’t take the request seriously. I think the sword is not bad.”
“Ha ha! All men are like that. I thought they were like that.”
Alice gets sick just thinking about it. She groaned and she brushed off the chicken meat.
She said, “It’s a friend I’ve known since childhood in her hometown, so I’m comfortable with it, but I think they fight every time I ask for a request these days…”
“Each of us has our own style, so finding a compromise is important.
“Ah…! You went alone.”
“Somehow. I have a bit of an odd personality, so I can’t mix with other people.”
Because she had prior information that no one else had, she wandered around looking for hidden peace in the past.
Because she has no intention of distributing valuable items with others.
Until I reached a certain level, I was buried in my greed and suffered countless deaths.
While chewing on her words of solo, she woke up from her thoughts and continued her story, perhaps remembering her role as a talker.
“In addition, they say that dating and dating someone at the same party as an adventurer is poison. I’ve never thought of that in the first place…”
“I know it well. That’s bound to cause trouble.”
Hearing Alice’s words reminded her of the person of the same name who had helped her nun back.
‘I thought his feelings were a bit different…’
I was disgusted with the infidelity of a man with thick legs, and I didn’t want to know about it at all.
When Alice said she would stay alone.
I can definitely feel the jealous glances from my girls after going around and receiving them.
‘Desire and greed are a great driving force in living.’
I was greedy towards women too, but that guy wasn’t normal for women too.
Perhaps there is no such foolish person in the world who thinks that his childhood friend is all the fish he caught.
‘…Could it be?’
In an instant, Robert’s face passed his head.
What happens in reality is always probable, and it is full of things that are hard to believe with one person’s beliefs and values.
“…”
At any rate, Alice’s judgment was correct on this matter.
I feel that I am walking the adventurer’s path more seriously than I thought, not just solving food, clothing, and shelter.
If there is a situation in which a person from the religious order or someone is added to the same party as today, dating is definitely a taboo.
That behavior is no different from the starting point of suspicion that other party members may be implicitly discriminated against.
Lark’s party, which Lilyne belongs to, also considers it very important.
When you get hit by a tough request, there are many cases where your nerves become sensitive.
It is important to keep the basic rules because dissatisfaction may arise even when it comes to role division.
So that.
If an adventurer belonging to a mixed-gender party falls in love with a member of the same party, nothing good will happen.
No matter what you do, there is room for irrational interpretation.
It’s because when the judgment is distorted, the other party members complain that it was caused by emotion.
When we arrived at our destination while having such trivial conversations.
I had no choice but to ask again.
“Aren’t you going back? I’ve arrived now and that’s enough.”
– Shiyi.
Even though I think the conversation we had on the way here was informative and enjoyable enough.
This guy is stuck on his head and doesn’t want to move.
“I’m sorry on behalf of Tero…”
I said it was okay to stop, but I don’t know how many times I apologized on the way back.
Even Tero’s owner, Alice, gave up trying to get her elemental out of me.
When an oral but intangible contract is entered into.
She wasn’t sure what would happen if I forced this off, but her head was full of faces.
“This guy also thought of her owner and got involved with good intentions, so there’s nothing you can do about it…”
Alice, who came out of her situation with relief, sighed and looked around where I stopped.
“Huh- But there’s nothing around here…?”
I was wondering how to send this girl back.
Having someone talking next to you was a lot of fun in a situation that didn’t require much concentration.
‘Once you hear it, there’s nothing to do with it, so it won’t matter much.’
It’s not a place where you can keep it secret and continue to benefit, and once the most important artifact is over.
If it wasn’t for Chloe, she would have been covered up for the rest of her life.
“I’ll have to find it now.”
