Chapter 10 – Causes of Sloth Parties (3)
Long ago, the warrior who defeated the Demon King used his special power and joined forces with his companions to defeat the Demon King.
And the currently awakened warriors each have their own special powers.
In line with the signs of the Demon King’s resurrection, I believe that God has reawakened the sleeping power within those who carry on the blood of the warrior.
People called this divine protection.
Among the many heroes currently, the one that is attracting the most attention is the fastest hero, Maybelle Party.
This party is led by Maybelle, a hero who has the blessing of ‘acceleration’ that increases her speed.
The party consists of the fastest Hero Maybelle, the Storm Witch Ianna, the Sister of Charity Marti, and one male, known as the Fastest Hero Maybell Party.
Maybelle’s party is an object of envy and envy among recent warriors, and Nellis’ party also had envy and admiration for Maybelle’s party.
By the way.
They couldn’t help but be surprised when it turned out that the man in front of them was at the Maybelle party.
‘Mr. Kalt is the person who was at the Maybelle party!?’
Nellis was so shocked that she didn’t know how to open her mouth and close it.
However, Kalt did not respond to her reaction and spoke to the receptionist.
“Are the procedures completed?”
“Huh? Ah, yes! That’s right! We have recorded the receipt of the request.”
After listening to the receptionist, Kalt spoke to Nellis Party.
“The process is over, so let’s go straight to the request.”
Nellis Party, who saw Kalt leaving the guild with a gentle smile, quickly came to her senses and followed Kalt.
“Now, wait a minute! Just wait a minute!”
After leaving the guild, Scarlett stopped Kalt.
“Why are you doing that?”
“What’s wrong… What on earth are you? What are you doing here?”
Scarlett, who looked at me with suspicion yesterday, is now looking at me with confusion.
Comparing the differences, Kalt had patience and suppressed laughter.
“Well, everyone, I’m currently testing my skills to join the party.”
“That’s not what I’m saying! Why are you from Maybelle’s party trying to join our party!? What’s good?”
Even though Nellis and Aria did not open their mouths, they quietly looked at Kalt as if they were of the same opinion as Scarlett.
Looking at their reactions, Kalt once again felt that Maybelle’s party was active and had grown to the point of eliciting such reactions from other hero parties.
Also, I was seething inside at the embarrassment of the ungrateful Maybelle Party, who had made me so famous.
But this too, said Kalt, without showing it on her face.
“Everyone, let’s leave the village first to make a request.”
“Are you trying to gloss over it?”
“No. I just want to be efficient. You already told me, right? I’m going to tell you why I broke up with my previous party on the way to the request.”
I’ll tell you what you’re curious about as I go.
With those words, Kalt walked back out of the village, and Nellis Party followed behind Kalt.
After leaving the village, Kalt said.
“Mr. Nellis, would you please take the lead?”
“Huh? Me?”
“I just trusted you guys and set off right away. I still don’t know where a lot of kobolds live.”
Normally, when requesting a region visited for the first time, I would investigate within the guild and then depart.
However, knowing that Nellis Party had requested the extermination of kobolds several times, Kalt tried to entrust the directions to Nellis Party.
However, the Nellis party was mistaken in thinking that Kalt knew the surrounding geography just like them since he left the village so confidently.
“Oh, I guess so!”
Understanding Kalt’s meaning, Nellis stood next to Kalt and took his steps.
“Please follow me.”
“Yes.”
Kalt stood next to Nellis and paid attention to the safety of Scarlett and Aria in the rear.
‘I haven’t felt any signs of monsters around yet…’
“Actually, I didn’t leave the Maybelle party for such a grand reason.”
“”… !””
Finally, Kalt brought up something related to Maybelle’s party, and Nellis and the others focused on Kalt’s words.
“Maybell Party’s claim is that they are sending me out because I am not good enough.”
From Kalt’s point of view, it wasn’t even funny.
“Is it not enough?”
“The reason was that I couldn’t go to the party any longer, so I had to leave.”
After hearing the reason that came out of Kalt’s mouth, Nellis Party did not refute it by calling it a nonsensical reason.
There are many rumors that Maybelle Party is currently growing rapidly.
It was quite possible for a party that was currently active to have at least one member unable to keep up with its growth rate.
In other words, Kalt was expelled from Maybelle’s party for lack of skill.
Nellis, Scarlett, and Aria developed sympathy for Kalt.
But even though she felt sympathy, there was still something Scarlett didn’t understand.
“Hey Mr. Kalt, why do you want to join our party?”
This time, it wasn’t Scarlett who asked, but Nellis, who was walking next to her.
“There was no particular reason. Most of the parties recruiting new members did not suit me.”
“You said you didn’t get along with Mr. Kalt?”
Even though they said they were expelled, is there anyone who has been at Maybelle’s party until now?
Such doubts were immediately resolved by Kalt’s next words.
“Yes, as you can see, I’m a vanguard, so I can’t join a party that wants to be a healer or attack from a distance. Of course, there were parties that wanted to be a vanguard… But there were only parties that had members with some skills but bad tempers. This is the only way to join a new party. You want to get along well, right?”
“Oh, huh? Did there ever be a rumor that our party was friendly and personable?”
“No. All I had was a name and aptitude.”
“Ugh.”
“I heard it was a sloth party.”
“Hundreds of millions!”
Although she knew it all over again, Nellis felt discouraged by the honest answer.
“Well, then… Why do you want to join our party when you know it’s a sloth party?”
Kalt waited for that question.
Even if you will learn thoroughly about the superior-subordinate relationship later, it is easier in many ways to make a good first impression.
Kalt was confident that the answer he would give at this moment would improve his relationship with Nellis Party.
“Because we look alike.”
“Do you look alike? With whom?”
“I’m going to Maybelle’s party with you guys.”
At Kalt’s words, Nellis Party all had question marks in their heads.
They say they resemble the Maybelle Party?
The party is in full swing right now.
They are called a sloth party?
Kalt, who had already anticipated Nellis Party’s skeptical reaction, immediately uttered the following words.
“Did you know that? Maybelle’s party was originally a sloth party.”
“Huh? Me, Maybelle’s party is a sloth party? That’s ridiculous!”
“It’s true. At first, we all couldn’t figure out how to grow further? Haha.”
Although he burst out laughing, the truth was that his head started pounding when he recalled the past.
‘I tried not to use hypnosis by making myself overcome as much as possible, but I couldn’t get an answer, so I used it.’
“I can’t believe I couldn’t find the answer…”
“That Maybelle party…”
Even though Kalt spoke confidently, not only Nellis but Scarlett and Aria could not easily believe it.
It almost made me think that Kalt was sympathetic to their situation and was trying to motivate them by making up nonsense.
“Maybelle wasn’t strong from the beginning. She had problems and overcame them, so she became famous like she is now.”
Of course, that problem may be recurring again now.
“But until we solve that problem, we have no choice but to keep wandering at a low level. The same goes for Ianna and Marti. So I thought your situation is similar to Maybelle’s.”
That’s why I came to this party first.
Nellis Party was still skeptical of Kalt’s words.
Even if the Maybelle Party had a time as a sloth party like they did, it would have been a much easier problem to overcome than their own.
Of course, Kalt had a clear idea of what Nellis Party was thinking right now.
“But just because it’s similar to the Maybelle party of the past doesn’t mean it’s the same. So, this request is an opportunity for me to check. Whether or not you are truly a gem with talent like Maybelle’s.”
A gemstone is good.
However, even if it was not a gem, I planned to improve my skills as much as I could.
Originally, the purpose of this request was to test whether Kalt could unite with Nellis’ party.
However, after learning about Kalt’s identity, Nellis Party thought at the same time.
This is not a quest to test Kalt, but a quest for themselves to be tested by Kalt.
“Hey, I’ll do my best!”
“Don’t be too nervous. As I said, I ultimately want to join your party. Ah.”
Kalt’s senses, honed while at Maybelle’s party, caught the presence of a monster.
“It just worked out well.”
Following Kalt, Nellis Party also noticed the appearance of a monster.
A bipedal wolf-type monster with brown fur and sharp claws in the bush.
Three kobolds appeared.
Kalt immediately pulled out his sword and took a stance.
“Thank you, everyone. Let’s work together to defeat the monster.”
The time has come to check Nellis’ party’s skills and problems.
