Chapter 196 – Sermon (1)
The afternoon when Nellis and the others woke up.
The three people who were not yet tired after lunch decided to go to an inn and sleep.
Meanwhile, Kalt, who had some stamina left, headed to the guild alone with a full heart.
Although I felt like warming up, there was also a high possibility that Maybelle would come to the guild.
However, what Kalt encountered at the guild was different from what he expected.
“Ka, Kalt. “As expected, you came here.”
It was Marti.
“What, why are you here?”
“That is… “I came to see Kalt.”
“Maybelle, is she?”
“I told you to rest comfortably at the inn today. “It would be difficult to have a proper conversation in that situation.”
“Hmm, really? So why did you come to see me?”
“That…”
Marti hesitated to speak.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to apologize.
There were just a lot of eyes in the guild.
Since the two were once at the same party, it was natural that many people’s eyes would gather.
Marti did not want their problems to attract public attention.
Kalt said to Marti.
“Are you free today?”
“Yes?”
“Busy? That’s it.”
“Oh, no! “I’m free!”
“Okay? Then follow me and do whatever I ask you to do. “Because I was bored going alone.”
Marti thought this was an opportunity given by Kalt.
“Ah, okay, Kalt.”
Kalt received a request from the receptionist to subdue a low-difficulty monster in the area and went outside with Marti.
“What, you two went out to a party together?”
“Didn’t we break up because we had a fight? No, why are you two leaving the other party members alone…? .”
“… “Isn’t the rumor of discord just a rumor?”
Marti let out a sigh of relief at the voice she heard as she left the guild.
‘I don’t think there’s a big rumor about it yet. But it’s only a matter of time…’
Maybelle will somehow go to Kalt and complain that he will somehow come up with her own solution.
What if it repeats several times?
Surely doubts turn into convictions and rumors about the problem spread widely.
Marti wanted to apologize to Kalt before that situation came and find a clue to her solution.
While moving with Kalt to the habitat where the monsters to be defeated were, Marti was unable to easily talk to Kalt.
And Kalt was also aware of Marti’s situation.
“Why did you suddenly become mute?”
“Yes?”
“You say you have something to do, so why don’t you tell me about it quickly?”
“Uh, um. Yeah, that’s right. That is…”
They are currently moving towards their habitat, so there is no one around.
That’s why Marti stopped her steps and called Kalt.
“Kalt…”
Marti lowered her head as soon as Kalt stopped walking and turned around.
“I’m sorry.”
“What?”
“I want to apologize for siding with Maybelle that day and kicking Kalt out. Actually, the day before…”
“Oh, you don’t have to say that. “I already heard it from Anna Lee.”
“Is that so?”
“Okay. Maybelle, that little bitch, are you doing whatever you want for me? Under! “You did such a ridiculous thing for me.”
“Third, you’re a bitch… Kalt. You can’t use too harsh words…”
“What?”
“Oh, it’s nothing…” .”
She was surprised and wary of Kalt’s swear words, which she had barely heard, but when Kalt glared at her, Marti immediately picked up on her words.
“Did you just come here to say that?”
“Well, that’s just it. “Apologizing when you make a mistake is very important.”
“Yeah, it’s important. But the stupid bitch who did that important thing didn’t seem to be able to do it right?”
“Eww…”
I knew who that stupid bitch was without having to say specifically.
“Ianna and I will continue to do the right thing for Maybelle… “I will tell you that you must apologize.”
“Will he even listen? “He’s a troublemaker who doesn’t listen to me properly.”
“Well, even Calt knows that Maybelle may be a bit self-indulgent and stubborn, but she is not an evil person…”
“Of course that is so. “Is that what you mean when a warrior is evil?”
“Ugh…”
“Ha. Apologize or not, we’ll talk about that after the request is over. Got it?”
“Ah, okay, Kalt.”
Martí thought that if he tried to talk to Kalt again now, he would be immediately rebutted and the conversation would not be possible, so he followed Kalt’s words.
And when she arrived at the habitat, Onikalt said
In the section where monsters could be seen.
“Marti, give me your blessing.”
“Yes? “A monster of this size doesn’t really need blessings, right?”
“Let’s see your skills after a long time.”
“Okay.”
Marti gave Kalt a blessing to strengthen his body.
It’s been a while since I received Marti’s blessing.
‘For sure, Marti is still better.’
Kalt comparing the blessings of Marti and Arya.
Even though Aria has a lot of divine power as a saint candidate, Marti is still better at bestowing her blessings on the opponent more powerfully through her experience.
After casting a blessing, Kalt and Marti move back to their seats.
Just as they had done in the past, they maintained an exquisite distance from the vanguard, neither too far nor too close.
And the two people who kept walking saw the monster they were aiming to subdue.
Kalt spoke to Marti without even looking back.
“I’m waiting here.”
“Yes.”
Percussion!
Kalt kicked the ground and rushed towards the monster.
“Huh?”
Martine couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw that.
They said they had been separated for a few months, but they had been organizing the same party for a longer time than that.
That’s why Martí also has Kalt’s skills.
I know very well how much skill Kalt has.
Even assuming he knew that, Kalt’s movements were much faster than he remembered.
I couldn’t believe it.
Kalt’s growth itself is not unbelievable.
Marti knows that Kalt never misses training every day.
Because of that, he is becoming stronger.
However, compared to what it looks like now, the growth rate is ridiculous.
‘How on earth did this happen?’
I know that Kalt can become stronger, but this one has clearly become stronger.
In the past, there were many times when Maybelle matched Kalt’s pace a bit.
With today’s Kalt, even if Maybelle always runs at maximum speed, it would not be impossible to keep up with them and even match them.
While Marti was surprised, Kalt had just caught the monster and returned.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, Carl… Sigh!”
The monster’s blood on the knife held by the returning Kalt caught Marti’s eyes.
Although she didn’t immediately faint or have trouble breathing, just seeing her blood made her heart pound and Marti was startled.
‘Yet… It’s still okay.’
Just like the first time.
It was better than when there was no improvement in the problem at all.
When it comes to blood on a knife, no matter how many times you see it, it ends up being shocking.
However, if you see blood flowing in person several times, your fear of blood begins to react properly.
That’s why Marti wanted to quickly fix this problem.
Meanwhile, seeing the startled Marti, her kalt shook the blood off her knife with a cold expression on the outside while laughing on the inside.
“It seems like the problem has reoccurred like Ianna said?”
First, I pretended not to know, just like I did with Anna.
“Ha, ha, ma, that’s right.”
“It must be such a big deal. That’s too bad.”
“Kalt… Sorry. We are truly sorry. So please… If you know any clues to solving this problem, please let me know. Or like back then…”
“Well, should I at least share some words with you? Me to you?”
“…”
Marti also knew that this was a shameless request.
But still, Marti wanted to fix the problem.
For Marti, it’s her own problem.
Fear of blood has always been an obstacle and shackle blocking one’s wishes.
Marti, who was an orphan, grew up in the church and received church teachings.
And she thought that Marti wanted to be like the priests and nuns who raised her.
She strongly hoped that if anyone was suffering, she would also give her healing hand.
However, it was only after she became a nun that she discovered her problem.
How ridiculous is it that even though she was a nun who had to treat the wounded, she was so scared of blood that she ended up fainting.
So when Marti was convinced that her problem was cured, she was happy with tears in her eyes.
Although she went around hurting others to the point where her sword got involved in reaction, Marti hoped that she would extend a helping hand to those who needed her treatment.
“I would like to ask you, Kalt, if it will help with the reoccurring problem. Again… Again I…”
Marti put her hands together and asked Kalt.
“Please allow us to extend a healing hand to people again.”
Kalt thought as he looked at her request.
‘She is just as stubborn as Maybelle differently.’
“Ugh, you seem like a woman who only knows treatment.”
Kalt said as he turned towards the front.
“Follow me. “I have to complete the request.”
“Ah, I understand, Kalt.”
Marti took a deep breath to catch her breath, and then she followed Kalt.
