Chapter 76 – Union Party (2)
“Okay, let’s go together!”
“Kalt! What are you talking about all of a sudden!”
Ateu was delighted with Kalt’s words, and Scarlet asked Kalt in an argumentative manner.
“No, why are you suddenly accompanying that party?”
“They say they’re going to catch orcs too. They’ll end up in the same place anyway.”
“Even so, why are we killing orcs together?”
‘Aren’t you really trying to tease me to the end?’
In Scarlett’s mind, Kalt’s smile, smiling at her, was still unforgettable.
That’s why I was 99% suspicious that Kalt had suggested hunting Orcs with the Ateu Party to find an excuse to make more fun of him.
“We alone are enough for the orcs.”
“Of course it’s enough. But you also need this experience. It’s a good opportunity.”
“What experience?”
Kalt spoke with the same air as when he was teaching Nellis Party.
“An experience of fighting in unity with other hero parties.”
“I need something like that…”
“Of course it is necessary.”
Kalt said, taking on a rather serious tone.
“We are a hero party. The purpose of the hero party is to defeat the demons and prevent the resurrection of the demon king. The demons know how to control monsters and are stronger than anything. A single hero party cannot deal with them.”
In the past, Maybell’s party defeated Mine without linking up with other parties, but that was an exceptional situation, so Kalt did not say anything.
“So, you also have to learn how to cooperate with other parties when a strong enemy appears. Understood?”
“… Okay.”
Scarlett could no longer refute the fact that the reason was not to make fun of her, but for their own growth.
Kalt turned his head to Ateu, who was quietly watching their conversation, and said with a refreshing smile.
“Did you say Mr. Ateu?”
“Uh… Uh!”
“You’re a party of heroes you’ve met for a long time, so you’re talking to us because you want to gain experience working together?”
Kalt made it easy for the Ateu party to join.
Ateu wasn’t so ignorant that he didn’t notice that.
“Yes, that’s right! That’s right! You have great insight, Mr. Brother! Are you a hero too?”
“No, I’m just in charge of the vanguard. The hero in our party is…”
Kalt said as he moved to Nellis’ side and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“This is Nellis, the indomitable hero.”
“Oh, hello!”
“Yeah, okay, hi.”
While the warriors were awkwardly talking among themselves, Kalt moved again and approached the members of the Ateu party.
“Please take care of me.”
“I’m sorry. The idiot hero at our party said something unnecessary…”
“No, joint practice was just a necessary process for our party.”
“Hehe, you are a very considerate person. If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask your name.”
“Please call me Kalt.”
“Kalt… Caltra. I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”
As Takeshin, the priest of Ateupati, was pondering, the bespectacled wizard Machbels opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.
“If it’s Kalt… Is it by any chance the Kalt who left the Maybelle party?”
“That’s right.”
Kalt smiled bitterly at the sight of Ateu Fati recognizing him.
‘I became more known to people because I broke up than when I was at the same party as Maybelle.’
“It is now a Kalt from the Nellis Party, not a Kalt from the Maybelle Party.”
“The (porter) of the fastest hero party…”
“To correct this, I just lifted the burden, but I also worked as a vanguard.”
“Ah! Sir, sorry!”
“No, it’s okay. I could be mistaken.”
In my Kalt experience, Makbels was polite enough.
Unlike the guy who lived somewhere who was knocked to the ground with a single punch, there were cases where people laughed at him for being too stubborn, or there were people who made fun of him by saying that a porter is still a porter.
“Has the Ateu party ever hunted jointly with other parties?”
“No, Ateu is usually a guy full of confidence that we can do it on our own…”
“As expected. I guess the reason Mr. Ateu is acting like that is because of Scarlett in our party.”
“I’m sorry. I was careful…”
“No, human emotions are not something that can be easily controlled. Well, I can’t guarantee that the results will be good.”
“Umm…”
Makbels, who was in the same party, couldn’t guarantee that Ateu’s love would work out well.
“More than that, even if it is an opportunity like this, it will be a good experience for you to form a united party and fight monsters.”
Kalt held out his hand with a smile.
“Let’s do our best to help each other’s parties achieve meaningful growth.”
“Ah… Yes.”
Machbels thought as he shook hands with Kalt.
‘And… Is this really what a dependable senior is like?’
Even though I heard that Ateu had feelings for Scarlett, who was in the same party, the way he understood her and even thought about the growth of other members of the party was like seeing an adult with authority.
‘Wouldn’t Ateu also learn something from Mr. Kalt?’
Although they only spoke briefly, Machbels had some hope in the consideration and reliability expressed in his words.
◈
“What? This is the person who was at Maybelle’s party?”
The place where the orcs appeared was too far away to walk from Tridia, so I had no choice but to use a carriage.
Therefore, Nellis’ party and Ateu’s party were heading toward the area where the orcs appeared in a wagon carrying several people at the wagon stop.
And while riding in a carriage, Machbels told Ateu about Kalt.
“The Maybelle Party is where the fastest Hero, Maybelle, is located! But I’ve never heard of the name Calt…?”
“You know, I told you about that rumor about three times, right? Mr. Kalt’s name was among them!”
“Is that so?”
Hehe, Ateu was busy eating even then.”
“Yes, meals are important! Haha!”
“Ugh, don’t say anything. I’m sorry, Mr. Kalt.”
“No. In the first place, the hero is the one who stands out at the hero party, and colleagues cannot have that much of a reputation.”
“Hey, you said you’re fine too.”
“No, no matter how much you say that…”
When Machbels was about to preach to Ateu.
Scarlett spoke, crossing her arms and frowning.
“Even if you say it’s okay, isn’t it rude to ignore or belittle someone in front of them?”
As soon as Scarlett’s voice was heard, Ateu immediately bowed his head towards Kalt.
“That’s obvious! I’m sorry! Kalt!”
Everyone except Scarlett thought when they saw Ateu who immediately lowered his head in response to Scarlett’s words.
I really fell in love with Scarlett.
However, his counterpart, Scarlett, thought differently.
‘Still, he seems to have an ear for words.’
Scarlett still couldn’t accept that Ateu fell in love with her at first sight.
Until arriving at the orc spawn site, Nellis’ party and Ateu’s party gave each other full names and introduced their positions.
“As I already said, my ability is an increase in strength! And I am a vanguard who uses that protection to crush the enemy with this gauntlet!”
“I mainly use lightning magic. What I mainly use is Lightning Bolt, which is a beginner magic. Of course, I can also use intermediate magic.”
“I know how to use the blessing of recovery and the blessing of protection to prevent my comrades from getting hurt.”
“Blessing of protection…”
Blessing of protection.
It was a blessing that Aria could not use yet.
Just as wizards have an aptitude for attribute magic.
Priests also have the aptitude for blessing and holy attacks.
In the case of Aria, she recovers and has a high aptitude for sacred attacks, but unfortunately, although she can use defensive blessings such as protection blessings, their power is low.
After Ateu Fati’s introduction, Nellis Fati also explained Gaho’s position and special skills.
“It’s a curtain that blocks attacks… Isn’t it fun?”
“Fire is my specialty, but I can handle all attributes…”
“Scarlett is truly amazing!”
“Hey, don’t interrupt!”
“Hehe, I’m jealous. I can’t believe I can use sacred attacks. I’m confident in my protective blessing, but I’m not apt for sacred attacks…”
“It’s difficult for me to use the protection blessing… So I think I’m jealous of Takeshin.”
“I guess both have pros and cons.”
Since Kalt had already been introduced as an avant-garde, there was no reaction.
Nellis was the first to open her mouth and speak, probably because it bothered her.
“And the strongest person in our party is Mr. Kalt!”
“Oh, is that also true?”
“Well, I heard he was the lineman at the Maybelle party.”
“How strong is it?”
Ateupati showed interest, and Nellis snorted in delight.
“Of course, he’s really strong! If Kalt gets his hands on it, he’ll cut down the Kobold King in an instant! Moreover, even if dozens of kobolds come, Kalt can take them all by himself! And that’s so fast! Even with a gale! Let’s be fierce together!”
“Is it true?”
“It’s true! Right!”
“Yes, Nellis is right.”
“Kalt’s performance was great.”
“Kobold King… Nellis’s party. Ah, now that I think about it, the party that defeated the Kobold King is…”
“I remembered too. It was called Nellis’ Party. Haha, I never thought the person responsible for those rumors would be in front of us. I heard the rumors well. It was a promising party that was newly gaining prominence.”
“You’re promising~ hehe~ It’s just that Mr. Kalt is amazing~.”
Even though most of his achievements are praiseworthy, Nellis couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from raising even as she scratched her head.
“Hide your mouth and speak.”
Looking at Nellis, Scarlett shook her head.
Meanwhile, Ateu was silent and looked at Kalt.
‘Women like men who are active and strong and handsome. Then… If I show my skills against Kalt, who has shown great activity, Scarlett’s attention will also be focused on me!’
“Hey, Kalt!”
“Yes, Mr. Ateu.”
Ateu said to Kalt, who was smiling softly.
“When we get off the carriage, let’s spar! I wonder how strong you are!”
