After arriving at the end of the dungeon.

I met the spirit I was targeting…

“Got it? Even if you are a human being covered in saliva by the main god, you should not say such things to a good spirit like me!”

“Yes… .”

“You did something wrong, didn’t you?”

“I was wrong… .”

‘oh my god. ‘It’s no joke to nag him in the guise of a king.’

After kneeling in the middle of the dungeon, I was being showered with nagging praise.

The King of Hohenstein and the Queen who has shown me great favor since the first day of possession. To the spirit in the form of Artemisia.

They say that after reading his memories, he transformed into ‘the greatest person I thought of’…

Isn’t this a situation where the seemingly charismatic king is scolding me for speaking strangely and wearing a negligee?

I was shocked as I was being scolded with my head down, but I wonder if other people would have seen it as horrible.

“I think my respect for Mama Mama will be broken a little… .”

“… Somehow, just looking at it gives me a feeling of disloyalty to His Majesty.”

In reality, the Hohenstein duo, Elizabeth and Arthur, who are close to Artemisia, seem unable to hide their nervousness.

Lucia and Linnaeus also looked at each other with new eyes when they heard that the king was the ‘greatest person in my opinion.’

Just like that, everyone in the group had no intention of stopping him.

The sermon, which lasted about 10 minutes, barely came to an end.

“You’re handsome and cute, so I’ll just look at you like this. You won’t do that to spirits from now on, right?”

“Yes… I was wrong… .”

“Heung. He is a good human being.”

The spirit seemed to be satisfied only after I used the ‘very sorry expression’ that I had learned in juvenile detention center.

… In the game, they scolded me with just a few lines of text, but why am I the only one scolding them for so long? Did it go up that much?

However, the spirit asked again with a calm face, as if asking when had he ever been angry.

“Anyway. So what’s going on? To cause such a strong fire elemental reaction.”

“Ah, that’s… Keuhum, khum.”

-Swipe.

‘Oh my god, my heart hurts…’ Absolutely Grand Canyon… !!!’

… By the way, because she was leaning forward in that outfit, her cleavage, which was even fuller than Elizabeth’s, was clearly exposed.

It was such an embarrassing sight that my embarrassed head automatically turned, and Elizabeth, who was somewhat impatient, intervened.

“Wait a minute, spirit. Don’t do that to the hero like you’re such a big deal.”

“Huh? Why?”

“… … Well, the hero is embarrassed.”

“Huh? Well, I’ll do something like that.”

Still, the embarrassing scene did not last long.

Elizabeth waved a serious report asking, ‘What are you doing with my mother’s body?’

-hug!

-Now that the discipline is over, I returned to my spirit form! Thank you!

“… … Huh. Thank you.”

It was thanks to the spirit smiling meaningfully that it returned to its spirit form.

… Phew. I really had a hard time not having anywhere to focus my eyes.

Only then did I raise my head again and open my mouth.

“Keuhum, khum. Anyway, we came here to meet you.”

“That causes such a strong fire elemental reaction, hehe. Are you here because you want to play with me?”

“That too, and there is someone I would like you to help.”

The lecture was over, but I still had something to ask, so I got to the point while still kneeling.

My gaze quickly turned to one side.

Head towards Rinne, who was with Lucia earlier.

“Linne? Would you like to come here?”

“Yes, eh… ?”

He was watching me get scolded with Lucia, and when his name was called, he was a little surprised, so only one of his animal ears lifted up.

Soon Rinne’s eyes widened in realization and he rushed over.

He must have realized later that it was because of him that we came to this dungeon.

Afterwards, she sat down next to me on her father’s legs and floated her magic in the air.

“Look at this… .”

[Now that I think about it, you said you came here to solve my stuttering. May I ask what that spirit has to do with it?]

‘what? Rinne, has your stuttering improved?’

Afterwards, Linnaeus asked for an explanation, looking much less shy than when they first met.

Maybe it’s because of my mood, but the bonus is that I can now understand voices that were once hard to understand.

However, since everyone in my group looked at me as if they were curious, I raised my voice again without asking for more details.

“As you can see, this spirit has tremendous abilities. Ability to read minds.”

“… … … !!!!!”

“Although it is limited to fire magic, this person can probably do the magic chanting for you.”

My explanation was as follows:

The setting is that this powerful spirit can read people’s minds. And although Rinne is talented, she can’t even sing because of her stutter.

What if Rinne and the spirit make a contract here?

Proxy casting becomes possible. The spirit reads the chant that comes to mind.

Of course, Rinne will have to do all the calculations and mana, but…

That’s somewhere. It’s not good to eat it raw. hmm.

anyway. As soon as my explanation was over, the people who were watching all rushed towards Rinne.

“Linne, is that true!? We don’t have any knowledge of magic, so I’m not sure if that’s possible… .”

“Theory, possible… .”

[It is possible because chanting is only the final step of concretizing the calculated magic formula into language. For a spirit as powerful as that, it is more efficient to contract with elves who have strong spirit affinity rather than with an ordinary wizard.]

“… That’s true, but in that case, you must have signed the contract yourself. Because the savior is also Erenion.”

“Hmm. The hero decided that being able to use magic would be stronger than using spirits.”

Expert Linnaeus’ explanation followed.

​

Everyone shook their heads in understanding, but…

Soon, the eyes of the five people suddenly focused on me again.

“No, wait. Warrior. So what about stuttering? Wasn’t it supposed to make you better?”

“… … ?”

Then, the group asks if it was something that helped Rinne get better.

I tilted my head for a moment and then kissed my lips again.

“I said when will I make it better… ?”

“… … huh? No, yes?”

“Angel… … !!!?”

I asked with a genuinely puzzled expression. When have I ever said something like that?

Then, astonishment spread across the expressions of the group members, especially Rinne.

… No, really, why are you like that?

“There’s no need to fix that in the first place. People don’t die just because they have a stutter, right? Unlike things like blindness or anorexia.”

“Well, uh… ?”

“What if I stutter a bit? He also has a cute personality.”

That’s why I asked calmly in front of my companions.

Is stuttering a problem that needs to be treated urgently in the first place?

I wonder if Rinne himself finds stuttering uncomfortable…

When I saw him, I didn’t find him stuttering very uncomfortable. Unlike Elizabeth and Lucia.

There was absolutely no need to make a fuss about getting better when I didn’t need treatment.

‘Well, honestly, my mental problems can’t be treated with my cooking, so I compromised a little.’

… There was a bit of a sudden change in direction because ‘overheal’ wasn’t working, but whatever.

After my explanation was finished, a certain emotion appeared on Linne’s face.

A feeling of half unfamiliarity and half joy, as if I had never heard these words before.

Rinne’s lips were sweet again.

A little more than when we first met.

“Well, hey, still… Effort, must… .”

“Linne. There is no need to force yourself to do something that doesn’t work.”

“Uh, that, uh… … ?”

“And… Above all, the Rinne I’ve seen is a person who works really hard, right? The letters are very pretty and write quickly. I’m sure it’s because I put in a lot of effort.”

“… … … .”

But her lips were tightly pressed together again.

Because I noticed.

The speed at which she writes letters in the air with mana is much faster than the speed at which people speak.

It’s not like you’re typing, you’re just moving your fingers to write.

How much effort did it take to reach that speed?

How much time did Rinne, who stutters, spend to somehow communicate with others?

The other party members seemed to be insensitive and didn’t notice…

I, Lee Si-hyeon, a TRPG character. I was able to notice this much.

That’s why I folded my hands on the back of Rinne’s hand again.

-Kkook.

“I clearly know that Rinne has worked hard so far, but I don’t want to ask him to work harder.”

“Well, well… .”

“And… If you want to fix your stutter, talk to me a lot from now on.”

“Well… Something like me… .”

​

“I really like chatting, right? If you travel with me, you might find yourself speechless. Hehehe.”

Rinne’s head goes lower every time I talk to him in a friendly manner.

On the contrary, the animal ears are slightly shaking.

She immediately opened her mouth with a red face.

“Thank you, thank you… .”

Her face looks the happiest it has ever been.

It didn’t seem like it was just my mood.

* * * * * *

The fourth hero, Rinne, was dying trying to console his pounding heart.

-What if I stutter a bit? He has a cute personality, though.

‘Stuttering and stuttering in frustration, I think it’s cute…’ .’

-I know for sure that Rinne must have put in an effort, but I don’t want to ask her to put in more effort.

‘Besides, besides…’ .’

Naturally, the cause was Shihyun’s unconscious words earlier.

Sihyeon just said it casually, with an expression on her face that said it was obvious.

But how did those words come to her?

A stutter that couldn’t be corrected no matter how much I practiced in the mirror, a stutter that everyone pointed and made fun of and was frustrated with.

He casually told me, ‘There’s no need to fix it,’ and, ‘That’s your personality.’

Even her desperate efforts to float mana in the air to communicate were immediately recognized.

Sang Tae-chang bestowed the grandiose title of ‘Grand Wizard’ upon her for studying only theory without chanting magic, an effort she had put in almost her entire life.

During this time, she was criticized for being frustrated and treated like a waste of money.

It’s not that I didn’t try hard.

It just really didn’t work out.

however. Sihyeon, who had met for less than half a day, spoke as if she had read Rinne’s mind.

You tried. He says he knows that.

What a great salvation that one word was to her weak heart.

Sihyeon never knew.

‘I thought he was just a handsome, capable and sexy boy, but he was very caring… Thoughtful… .’

Because of this, her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

So much so that even she, who had never experienced anything like this in her life, was convinced.

The feeling that is filling her heart with warmth right now is overwhelming.

It was her first love, and probably her last love.

It was the first time Rinne, who had lived his entire life as a mixed-race prisoner and a stuttering wizard, fell in love.

———However, soon her face was filled with confusion.

-So, are you telling me to sign a contract with him? no, I do not want.

“… … Huh?”

A spirit’s voice that instantly shatters the otherwise touching atmosphere.

and,

‘Ah, is it Si-hyeon’s turn to step forward again?’

-Swipe.

“Do you still think that after seeing this?”

“… … … You, you!!! What on earth is that!!?”

It was because of Sihyeon, the hero who said something as if he had been expecting it.
