They were people who became entangled somehow, and it was a relationship that was thought to have ended when they broke up.

But didn’t they save their comrades again with the elixir?

Since he saved the lives of all six members of the team, he became an indescribable benefactor, so we couldn’t help but drink together.

Is that it?

“You don’t know how surprised I was when you suddenly showed up.”

Didn’t Thalia join in the middle?

I think this rumor would probably spread around here and there by the people who were there.

The love shot I had with Thalia at the encouragement of people… .

Many people have seen it, but few people seem to believe it, so I think it will remain somewhat of an urban legend.

“I was glad to meet you quickly?”

“…Of course I liked it too. But I thought you would ask me to leave right away. But you sat there for quite some time. “Did you really enjoy hanging out with those people?”

It could be seen as prejudice, but honestly, that place wasn’t a place that suited Thalia.

In short, it makes me feel like why would such a precious person end up in such a squalid place?

But it seemed like Thalia’s time at the bar wasn’t bad.

“of course. Because he is so well-known on the front lines, it is not easy to get along with people like this. Because everyone was having a hard time with me, it was difficult to hear honest stories. So this opportunity is very precious to me.”

“It sure seems like you’re having a hard time, but didn’t you get along well after drinking?”

“It would have been different if I had been alone. “Because you are there, they also have courage.”

“Me? “I don’t think I’ve done anything special.”

Thalia paints my face with gold.

No matter how much I think about it, I haven’t done anything special.

“There is something you don’t know.”

Thalia closed her mouth as if she had no intention of explaining in detail to me who had no idea.

She was the one leading the conversation, and she was the one who got all the attention from the people around her, so I was curious about the answer, but I didn’t pursue it any further.

Since you said that my presence helped you, doesn’t that mean it is?

It felt good, but there was no need to ask.

“So how do you feel about talking with those people today? “It wasn’t an ordinary day.”

“The short answer is, I think it was good to hear something helpful.”

“Anything that might be helpful?”

“Yes, if there are any complaints, I have to take action. “If I don’t do my part, no one will change it.”

I didn’t think it was very nutritious, but I’m not sure what part it helped.

“I learned that hunters in particular can oppose the military’s policies.”

“Oh, that. “Did you notice?”

“I saw you looking so embarrassed. How could you not notice?”

“It wasn’t something people over there would like. But it’s something that can’t be helped.”

That doesn’t mean we can’t look after their situation.

“Of course. It’s natural that we have no choice but to be desperate to make a living. I also didn’t want to ruin their jobs if possible. But if I have to make a small sacrifice for the greater good, I am willing to do so.”

“Well, it doesn’t make sense not to kill monsters to make a living for those people. “Right?”

“yes.”

People must accept change.

They had to lose their hometowns and livelihoods due to the sudden pollution.

Those who could not adapt to change died, and those who did survive survived.

It’s the same this time too.

If we cannot adapt to the frontier ecosystem that will change in the future and only think about the past, we will eventually be eliminated and disappear.

She had too many things to do for her to care about such things.

“But we can’t ignore it like this, can we? “I think it would be a headache if people came together and protested.”

There didn’t seem to be any need to scratch and cause trouble in a situation where things were going wrong with the Third Prince.

If you can prepare in advance, wouldn’t it be right to do so?

“Going forward, we just need to raise the conditions for those who go to contaminated areas. “Right now, everyone is let out as long as they apply, but if we emphasize the risks and raise the conditions, they will be let go on their own.”

Of course, handling things like that doesn’t mean there won’t be complaints.

In fact, the more I got angry and said it was unfair, the more I got angry.

Still, I felt that what Thalia was trying to do was the best.

At the very least, it will serve as excellent evidence that the military has not neglected the hunters.

“There may be people who are still trying to leave even though we have given them several warnings.”

“Those people will eventually die and never come back.”

Although it may be seen as cold-hearted, Thalia seemed to have no intention of taking responsibility for the safety of those who did not follow the state’s orders.

If you don’t want to go, you shouldn’t go, but I kept going and causing trouble and whining for help, and even I, who wasn’t involved, got heated.

“Stop talking about this. “It’s not something serious right now.”

“hmm… “Is that so?”

“More than that, I said I went out to the beginning today. I’m curious how it was.”

Because we were so conscious of other people, we couldn’t talk properly just between the two of us.

“It was good. It was a bit exciting. “I learned that I am stronger than I thought.”

The problem was that the comparison group was SSR characters.

I didn’t have very bad skills among ordinary awakened people.

However, because the comparison group was so diverse, I was unable to properly evaluate my level.

“It’s pretty good. If others find out that you have already grown so much even though it hasn’t been long since you awakened, they will tell you not to cheat. “He’s at a level where he can be called a genius.”

“How old are you, but you seem strangely a genius. While others were getting stronger, I was crawling on the floor. “I guess because I woke up late, I grew up quickly.”

If I had awakened normally a long time ago, I would have had better options.

We would have raised funds much faster to summon SSR heroes, and then we could have started cleaning up the contaminated area sooner.

Plus, I could have played on the field myself.

All those possibilities disappeared in vain as I failed to awaken.

“I plan to continue hunting and improve my skills in the future. “I got it late, but I don’t want to waste my strength.”

“Casting monsters is always a patriotic thing to do, so it’s welcome.”

I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep, perhaps because I had a good taste of it today.

Plus, I think you’ll fall in love with the fun of hunting.

When I asked why nobles make hunting monsters their hobby, I sympathized with them because they couldn’t forget this taste and went hunting.

“But, Thalia.”

“hmm?”

“What did the Third Prince do?”

I couldn’t bring up the Third Prince in front of other people, so I couldn’t ask them properly.

Even though I was curious, I had no choice but to hold back, and it was only now that I was able to answer my curiosity.

Seeing that they chased after me so quickly makes me feel relieved that it wasn’t that difficult… .

“Ah, that matter was resolved well. Well, not everything went well.”

“???”

Thalia’s answer was a lot worse than I thought.

“I safely conveyed your opinion to the Third Prince, and of course, he did not go down smoothly. “I received an absurd threat that they would only let me go if I told them who I was working under.”

“You were threatened?”

“Okay, so I ignored it and left. It’s absurd. “I knew the royal family lived in flower fields, but I didn’t know they were so indiscriminate.”

Even though Thalia said that she had been threatened by the royal family, she acted as if she was talking about something insignificant.

“I’m so surprised. Threats can be cute when a puppy barks. “If it’s a rabid dog, all you have to do is kick it.”

“ah.”

Thalia made it clear how much she despised the Third Prince.

No matter what, you treat the royal family like a rabid dog.

It was an amazing analogy.

“The problem is that when the third prince was rejected, other royal family members appeared and lined up as if they had been waiting.”

“yes? What about the other royal family members?”

To avoid that, I left the capital as quickly as possible, but the royal family acted faster than I expected.

“I had no choice but to make this decision because everyone was asking who on earth I was using as my backend.”

“Decision?”

“Yes, we attracted Princess Mona.”

“!!”

Thalia’s bombshell statement made me dizzy.

“I haven’t even met Princess Mona yet?”

“You’re still going to do it, right?”

I’m sure I’ll do it.

“He is someone who will do it, so I trusted him and went for it. When the story of Princess Mona came up, everyone left without even saying a word. I knew it would be a burden for you, but everyone seemed so blinded by money that they didn’t even think about letting me go. “He was thinking of stopping me until he chose someone there.”

It is said that Talia did not know that the royal family would be so reckless as to dare block her path.

If I couldn’t convince Princess Mona, it seemed like the royal family who had been deceived by her lies would never remain silent.

‘This is a situation where we absolutely have to persuade Princess Mona to join us.’

In fact, even though Thalia had an accident, the situation did not change much.

Anyway, I was definitely planning on attracting Princess Mona to us.

The only problem is that the timing is a little tight.

“It’s a bit strange that the royal family is so hungry for money.”

“I plan to investigate that separately as well. “It is true that the amount of money that purification liquid will make is enormous, but I had no idea that he would be so blatantly rude to me.”

As is always the case in politics, the basic rule was to act like a snobbery in front and then manipulate behind the scenes.

But this time, the royal family acted hastily and vulgarly.

“There were no loan sharks.”

After listening to Thalia’s words, I thought it was fortunate that she escaped by using the name of Princess Mona.

“Well done. “I think it actually worked out better.”

Isn’t this something that had to be done anyway?

Because I felt that I had to persuade Princess Mona, I became extremely determined.

‘There are so many things prepared to seduce me. One of them might work.’

When we met at the museum, I remembered that the conversation I had with Princess Mona wasn’t that bad, so I decided to be confident.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay? “I’m sorry if it was a burden.”

“It’s because you trust me.”

“Yes, I’m sure you can do it.”

The belief that I will definitely achieve it.

She didn’t lie because there was no risk.

If the Third Prince finds out that our successor is not Princess Mona, Thalia will also suffer a loss.

“If you believe in something and commit it, please believe in it until the end. “Let’s try, okay?”

It wasn’t my first time doing it, and I was confident that I would do well since I was doing something I had done many times.
