Chapter 43 – Qualifications of a Hero (2)
◈
After Kalt had a relationship with Runia.
Rather than focusing solely on Nadia, Kalt alternated between her relationships with Runia.
Kalt never worked as a mother and daughter at the same time, and first focused on accumulating sexual experience for both of them until they reached a certain level as a teaching assistant.
Meanwhile, my relationship with Nellis Party was getting better day by day.
The day after picking her lunia, Nellis told me about her problem to her kalt that evening, saying she was having a consultation.
“Mr. Kalt, actually, I…”
The problem Nellis had was just what Kalt had observed and guessed.
When Nellis fights someone she thinks is stronger than her, she feels extreme fear, anxiety, and nervousness.
As a result, her complexion worsens and her breathing becomes difficult.
I’m just glad it ends with that, but Nellis’s blessings.
The veil was a divine protection that was greatly influenced by Nellis’ psychological state.
When Nellis becomes extremely anxious and loses confidence, the power of her protection weakens.
Therefore, Nellis was injured after being attacked by the Kobold Warrior, which would have been fine if it had been God’s original power.
Nellis, of course, has not neglected her own problems.
The result was that I somehow improved my skills by practicing in my own way and telling myself to be confident.
At first, she was only good at dealing with slimes and goblins, but she was able to grow to the point where she wasn’t afraid of kobolds.
But that was the limit.
Monsters with a higher level of difficulty were not only afraid of the pressure radiating from her body, but also of her appearance, making her feel much stronger than herself.
However, the problem with Nellis is that it is not only against monsters, but also against people.
No matter how kind the person she was sparring with was Kaltra, the fact that she was fighting someone stronger than her felt like a huge burden, pressure, and fear to Nellis.
“It’s pathetic… I’m a hero. When a monster stronger than me appears, I get scared and can’t show my skills. But I… I want to become stronger and put more effort into myself! I want to defeat even stronger monsters! So, Mr. Kalt! From now on, Please take care of me!”
The sight of Nellis confessing her problems and asking Kalt for a favor again was a desirable sight for Kalt.
‘Instead of helping Maybelle solve the problem at first, she often used her divine protection to run away.’
First, Kalt asked about Nellis’ past in order to get closer to her.
It’s about how he lived before becoming a hero, and why he continues to be a hero even though he’s afraid of strong monsters and opponents.
Nellis was just an ordinary villager living in the village.
She was the kind of girl who liked cute or pretty things, and dreamed of a vague idea that a prince on a white horse might appear.
However, she didn’t particularly want to go out of the village and didn’t want to spend her life peacefully in the village.
It’s a bit of a poor village, but it wasn’t inconvenient to make a living.
However, after she awakened as a warrior, Nellis had no choice but to become a warrior.
Of course she didn’t want to.
To begin with, you were living peacefully in the village, but since you have the bloodline of a warrior, you have to work hard to subdue the demon lord.
Nellis said she didn’t want to admit reality, and she wanted to run away.
But she was a rule set by the country, so Nellis, an ordinary village girl, could not refuse.
In addition, when she becomes a warrior and leaves the village, support money is sent to the village from the country.
Not only did she give to each village where she awakened as a warrior, but she also spent a lot of money on the country.
However, when it comes to adventurers, it seems like many talented people who can almost certainly become veterans have appeared.
The emergence of many talented people who can defeat high-difficulty monsters.
As a result, the amount of materials and magic stones obtained increases incomparably compared to before.
Anticipating the outcome, the country boldly provided support to villages that produced warriors.
In addition, due to the characteristics of a warrior determined by the country, he ultimately has no choice but to travel to various villages.
Therefore, the policy was to send subsidies to further develop the village so that the traveling warrior party could rest more comfortably.
It was a comfort to Nellis that even though she was in an unavoidable situation, she still had help from her beloved town.
And Nellis became a warrior.
At first, I was scared of fighting monsters, so I started digging up herbs.
She was scared to go into combat right away, so she went into the guild and asked the receptionist for advice on how to wield the sword.
I learned the basics of the sword from an adventurer introduced by the receptionist who seemed a little pitiful and pitiful, but also unique.
Caught slime for the first time.
Nellis, whose legs were shaking at the time, went through a fierce battle and won his first victory.
And as he progressed through his requests, even goblins were defeated.
For the first time, Nellis heard gratitude from the villagers.
“Thank you, warrior.”
Originally, he would have been in the same position as the villagers who are now giving thanks.
When a crisis comes to the village, he has no choice but to quietly seek help from adventurers.
But Nellis, who has now become a warrior, did so with her own hands.
He can save those who were once in the same position as him.
That fact was the reason why Nellis continued to work as a warrior even though it was difficult, scary, and difficult.
“It’s barely this much. Hehe, rice, it’s nothing, right?”
“No. You are a worthy warrior, Nellis.”
“Huh?! Oh, no, you don’t have to float like that! Every hero has the same experience as me.”
‘That’s not true.’
Kalt knows a warrior who, as soon as he becomes a warrior, is happy that he is a warrior and tries to go on an adventure right away, but then goes on a rampage after being discovered to have a phobia of monsters.
‘There’s a bitch who locked herself in her room right after receiving her first monster extermination request.’
“Nellis.”
“Oh, yes.”
“I will do my best to help you become stronger… And further help you overcome your problems.”
“Kah, Mr. Kalt…!”
Kalt did not immediately use hypnosis on Nellis, who was moved by Kalt’s words and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
‘It’s not even an environment to use yet.’
In the case of Ariana and Scarlett, they can somehow see on their own that their problems are gradually getting better.
However, in the case of Nellis, she is only hunting kobolds now, so she has little opportunity to feel it properly.
Kalt can spar with you, but it can be more dramatic to deal with monsters that must be defeated if possible.
‘I’ll just focus on improving my skills first, and I can do hypnosis after I leave this village.’
If possible, this is a place where you can deal with monsters of a higher level than kobolds.
Or, Kalt was thinking of a place where he could further upgrade his current equipment.
When you are thinking like that.
Nellis said, her beady eyes shining.
“I! I will do anything to become stronger! Mr. Kalt!”
“Anything?”
“Yes!”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“I see.”
“… Ka, Mr. Kalt?”
“Then, I’ll go wake you up every morning, so let’s do morning training together.”
“Oh, yes!”
“Then let’s go outside.”
“Now?”
“The village clothing store probably hasn’t closed yet. Let’s go buy clothes that don’t get dirty.”
4 days after that.
It’s been about 5 days since Kalt started a relationship with Runia.
Nellis started training with Kalt every morning.
It was impossible to get up early from the beginning, so when Kalt woke up, he knocked on Nellis’ door to wake her up.
Nellis performed the exercises instructed by Kalt one after another.
Of course, I couldn’t do everything from the beginning.
“Ugh, this is really hard!”
“So, it’s training. Next, let’s improve flexibility. Now, let’s check how much it stretches out.”
After her brief training on Calt standards, she did a flexibility test.
“Oh my! My arm doesn’t work anymore!”
“… It’s stiffer than I thought.”
Kuuk!
“Gwagagagak! Ka, Mr. Kalt!”
“Okay, I’ll just stay like this. Let’s slowly increase my flexibility again.”
“It hurts!”
Once she finished her flexibility training, she checked Nellis’ posture to make sure she was swinging her sword properly, just like she did last time.
And she said to swing her sword at her kalt to see if she could do it right.
Of course, since Kalt only blocked, Nellis was able to swing the sword with peace of mind.
As the days continued, Nellis’ flexibility increased, and kobolds became much easier to catch than before.
When we had dinner together, Nellis always added this to me when talking about her accomplishments.
“This is all thanks to Mr. Kalt!”
Meanwhile.
While Nellis’ swordsmanship skills improved, Aria and Scarlett were also slowly showing signs of solving their problems.
Each time Arya prays in a row, she counters the visible nightmare with a heart for her companions, increasing the number of times she can use her blessing by four.
Scarlett repeated the training method using her light taught by Kalt, and as each day passed, she felt worried and anxious, but the time she maintained her light became longer.
As the light lasted longer, it became possible to use beginner level magic even when several kobolds appeared as a test.
For the two of them, these results were very meaningful and a great step they had never taken before.
“Yes, we have grown a lot since Kalt came in.”
“I’m so glad Kalt joined the party.”
Even Scarlett, who was wary and frowned at first, smiled and acknowledged Nellis’ words, and Aria truly felt fortunate that Kalt had joined.
Kalt had felt the harmonious atmosphere he was feeling now before.
It was similar to the atmosphere that occurred not long after the problems of Maybelle, Ianna, and Marti were completely resolved.
At that time, everyone was full of motivation and told each other to move forward together in the future.
Kalt wanted to continue enjoying this atmosphere.
I could never bear to see Nellis Party become like Maybelle Party, who lost her memories and became so ungrateful that she kicked herself out.
No matter how friendly Nellis Party was to him and how much trust he gave him, Kalt’s purpose did not change one bit.
No, rather, Kalt has already seen similar images of them once.
She further strengthened her resolve to carry out her chosen method.
