“Glutton! Take care of this guy first!”

A scream calling me.

As I was told, I trudged towards the monster.

The monster was several times larger than a human.

But the guy’s breath had already stopped.

It was a shabby death that did not match his appearance.

“Yeah···”

Anyone can see that it is an excellent achievement.

But my voice was laced with fatigue rather than admiration.

‘I was impressed at first… but after watching it a few times, it became boring.’

It may be because of the main character of the activity.

Because the guy who defeated the monster was the one with the worst personality.

“This much is nothing. Let’s go deeper.”

I glanced at the protagonist.

The guy is talking to his colleagues.

The person he is focusing on is a beautiful nun.

“But··· the goal set by the guild has already been achieved··· and it is unknown what threats lie below.”

“That’s why I have to go in even more. If not for this warrior, who would investigate such a threat?”

brave.

That’s nice to hear.

Tristan is an adventurer who has been showing remarkable performance recently.

I actually think that his skills are worthy of the nickname of warrior.

But his personality was far from that of a warrior.

“When this is over, how about you join my party as a regular member?”

“Ah, that··· I think it would be better to bring someone else instead of me. I don’t have any special abilities···”

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come this far.”

That Tristan guy is harassing me.

It’s a scene I’ve seen several times already.

Every time, the nun expressed her embarrassment.

On the contrary, the Tristan group created an atmosphere of secret encouragement.

‘You must have a hard time because you’re beautiful…’

On the other hand, I am completely ignored.

The only times I call is when I have to order someone to do something or when the situation is bad.

I would rather be ignored.

Rather, you should take care of the monsters before a troublesome situation arises.

Because I’m the only one contributing to this party.

“I’ll go help him for a bit.”

“There’s no need for that. I brought a guy who doesn’t even have the skills to do chores. We’ll do all the hard fighting anyway, right?”

Oh man, sparks have flown.

But it’s not the nun’s fault.

Even if I had just stayed still, Tristan would have compared himself to me.

“Haa···”

There’s no need to open your mouth.

From his point of view, I’m just a prop to promote himself.

He was brought here to reveal his position.

It is already known among lower-ranked adventurers.

“I··· am sorry··· for making you uncomfortable···”

The nun who approached had an apologetic expression on her face.

Knowing the circumstances, I just passed the situation with a wink.

“It’s okay. It’s time to talk about it anyway.”

“Sure··· That might have been the case. Hehe···”

The nun smiled secretly at Tristan.

I answered dryly and thought about it, but it seems like he liked my answer.

Or maybe it was more that Tristan guy was uncomfortable.

“You dismantled such a large monster… That’s amazing.”

“If you don’t move, it’s a matter of time. And··· Since you can’t take everything, you can only take the expensive parts.”

“Do you remember which parts of this monster are expensive?”

“I can’t remember everything, but I remember the expensive ones.”

Chatting with the nun was quite enjoyable.

Of course, the back of my head felt a little prickly.

“···Awesome!”

A beautiful blonde nun.

If there is no evil intention, it would be a lie.

I got excited without realizing it and continued to explain actively.

Until that Tristan guy ruined the mood.

“Let’s get going!”

He told his flock,

In reality, it was something he said to both of us.

“Ah···”

“We’ve got everything important, so let’s get going.”

I packed my bags and walked to the back of the group.

But he ran into an unexpected difficulty.

As I was passing Tristan, I was forced to stop in my tracks by the strong force.

“Wait a minute!”

The guy’s hand holding his arm tightly.

It’s too painful to restrain a colleague.

In fact, I wouldn’t even think of you as a colleague.

So, it’s a blatant warning.

“From here on, you take the lead.”

“···What are you talking about.”

“The low-ranked guys learn what thieves do, right? They do things like scouting and all sorts of odd jobs. ”

But things are different now.

There is a big difference in level compared to the dungeons I usually go to.

That’s why he didn’t leave it to me in the first place, knowing that.

The reason I’m asking for something like this now is…

‘Do you want to see me being scared?’

It’s quite a bother.

I tried to erase my presence in my own way, but I guess I was eventually perceived as an obstacle.

“···Okay, but I’m not an expert so I can’t take responsibility if something goes wrong.”

“Don’t worry. Your mistakes were all expected.”

Then why don’t we just do what we’ve been doing from the beginning?

I had to hold back what I wanted to say.

“Ugh··· I, I’ll help you too!”

“There is no need for Sister···”

One of Tristan’s colleagues said:

There was concern in his voice.

But surprisingly, Tristan stopped him.

“He’s a weakling, so it might not be a bad idea if the nun helps him out a little.”

“···Tristan?”

My colleagues look at me with puzzled expressions.

It is common sense for nuns to be positioned in the back.

It was of different importance to a guy like me.

That’s why everyone looked at him with questioning eyes.

“If you run into any trouble, come to us right away. He’s trained for odd jobs, so he’ll be good at running away.”

Oh, I see what you mean.

You’re trying to create a situation where you abandon me.

It seems like they are deliberately trying to portray it as useless.

‘You annoying guy… I heard you already have a lot of women around, do you want to get drunk on nuns too?’

It doesn’t seem like he’s going to give up easily.

Basically, they are inferior in number of people.

There are three of them, including my colleague, and me and the nun.

Considering that I was an outsider, it was difficult for me to express my opinion further.

“Okay, if there’s a problem, leave it to me.”

“Leave it to me.”

The guy tapped my shoulder.

It probably strongly implies that you should try hard once.

“Hoo···”

Eventually, a bizarre exploration ensued.

There will be no party with nuns and janitors scouting out the place.

I walked carefully through the dungeon, using my shallow knowledge.

‘Honestly… I don’t know what’s going on…’

A moment when I was vaguely concentrating.

I felt like my feet were sinking down.

“Ah···!”

“That guy···! He stepped on a trap!”

Judgment and action occurred almost simultaneously.

I quickly grabbed the nun and turned her around.

But the trap was faster than that.

Click—

“There’s no way I can get out like this···”

The floor is slowly collapsing.

It’s so extensive that I can’t get away from it.

“Tristan, that guy···!”

I swallowed my anger for a moment.

It’s not that I was being patient, I just didn’t have time to talk.

Tristan was already far away, out of the trap.

From the beginning, I had no intention of helping.

“That, Glut!”

The nun’s urgent voice.

But there was no other way.

I tried to hold on to anything, but my hands felt like they were floating in the air.

‘Falling.’

A dizzying sense of floating engulfed my body.

All I could do was protect the nun.

‘That bastard… I will definitely go out and get revenge…!’

Dust that obscures the view.

But in between, the guy’s back was clearly visible.

Unlike his peers, Tristan was easygoing.

A very brief moment.

The guy and I locked eyes.

Tristan’s eyes, which met mine, were laughing at me.

“Fuck···”

The fall was slow and fast.

My body kept going down, bumping into things here and there.

More than the pain, I was afraid of when I would hit the floor.

‘If I were strong···’

The terrible speed peeled away the layers of my heart.

The further down I went, the more honest I could become.

Maybe it’s a reaction to death.

In the dizzying time, memories of the past flashed before my eyes.

The excitement of first becoming an adventurer.

The confidence I had when I first picked up a sword.

The freedom you feel when you first step out.

If I go back, I won’t give up.

I wanted to aim to become strong again as I had hoped.

‘If only I could survive…’

Even in dire situations, laughter emerged.

I might go crazy when I fall.

I fell into endless self-deprecating laughter.

When I even forgot my fear.

My body unconsciously tried to land.

simplicity and honesty-!

I felt something breaking.

Pain was far beyond my reach.

It felt like a funny sound was echoing inside my body.

I stupidly absorbed all the shock with my legs.

“Ugh···”

I couldn’t even scream.

The scream just rang out violently inside my body.

‘Still… I guess that’s a good thing.’

The nun in his arms looked fine.

The nun’s hands gave out and she fell to the ground.

But things were much better for me.

“That, Glut···?!”

The nun stands up in confusion.

On the contrary, I lost my mind as if a thread had snapped.
