“Hey, what did you just say?”

    “What can I say? I told it like it is.”

    Dredd, who was drunk and had a slightly red face, chuckled and looked at Kalt with a disdainful look.

    “Maybelle’s party during the day… There was an announcement in the guild that the fastest warrior’s party was looking for new members. Maybelle, Ianna, and Marty were there. Then, everything was said.”

    Dredd let go of his hand on Jenna and tapped Kalt’s shoulder with his index finger.

    Without hiding his disdainful gaze at all.

    It’s like looking at an abandoned loser.

    “You’re saying you’re going to throw away the useless guy and find a useful one, right? You’re being unfair, aren’t you?”

    As if he had said all he wanted to say, Dread, giggling, tried to catch Jenna again.

    But Dredd’s hand never grabbed Jenna’s wrist.

    “Haa… fuck, really. Now I’m even looking down on people like you.”

    Kalt’s hand caught Dread’s wrist as it tried to reach out to Jenna.

    “You big idiot.”

    “What? What is the stubborn bastard saying?”

    Dread immediately glared at Kalt and clenched his other hand into a fist.

    “I felt bad for being abandoned, so I tried to ignore it. Are you getting beaten up? Are you upset because your usually bright and smiling child was abandoned?”

    I had the desire to live a good life and always smiled when dealing with people.

    Dread didn’t like Kalt in the first place.

    There are times when it seems as if they are advertising that I am nice, but the biggest reason is different.

    I was nagged by a fellow party member to not get into trouble and to learn from Kalt from the Fastest Hero party.

    Dredd didn’t like being compared to anyone, so he couldn’t look at Kalt in a positive light, and he didn’t like everything Kalt did, not just his smile.

    “Damn.”

    But now, Kalt’s face doesn’t have that youthful smile.

    What was directed at Dredd was an annoyed look at the idiot.

    Kalt has decided to live a good life, but he is not so arrogant that he smiles at a guy who curses at him in front of him and openly criticizes him.

    Moreover, now that I have decided to live my life as I want after leaving the party.

    Kalt decided to act more honestly with his heart.

    “What kind of bullshit is a guy who got rejected by a girl talking about?”

    “W-what?”

    Kalt decided to give Dread the pick first.

    “Aren’t you clueless? Just looking at it, Jenna doesn’t like it, but the temptation is so damn good. The bigger you are, the bigger your head you have to think, isn’t it? Ah. Is it because the head is just big and there’s nothing on the inside?”

    “이 개새끼가!”

    “Aaaah!”

    Dredd, caught by Kalt’s provocation, let his anger take over and swung his fist at Kalt.

    Xena, who was close to the scene, screamed and reflexively covered her face, and people watching the scene around her also imagined Kalt being hit by Dredd’s fist and flying away.

    but.

    “It’s not worth it.”

    “W-what…!”

    “uh?”

    What happened was the exact opposite of what they thought.

    Kalt didn’t fly.

    Rather, he was holding Dread’s fist in front of him.

    “N-that’s ridiculous! A bastard who barely works as a chore gets my fist!”

    “Who’s the chore worker?”

    Since I’m really quiet, there are strange rumors going around.

    Kalt wasn’t particularly interested in rumors, but he was shocked to hear Dredd’s words.

    Kalt was in charge of the party’s meals.

    It would be a big problem if you got sick from eating strange food during the request.

    You need to eat nutritious food to use up your energy.

    In the first place, the tastes of this world were not subtly my taste.

    Kalt was also in charge of equipment selection.

    Because Maybelle has no eyes for equipment and has thin ears.

    Kalt carried most of the miscellaneous luggage.

    Most of them contain cooking utensils and other necessary items for Kalt to use.

    Kalt was reluctant to entrust his belongings to others.

    If there’s anything more to carry, it’s Maybelle’s burden, which I had to carry through so much effort.

    However, with just that, people around him had the perception that Kalt was a porter or a chore worker.

    From the beginning, Kalt’s main role was as a vanguard, not as a choreographer.

    Maybelle, who jumps out at will and doesn’t care about the distance, fights against the monsters she misses so that they don’t get to the rearguard, Ianna and Marti.

    Or, they have come together to protect the square of Maybelle, who is called the fastest warrior.

    To achieve this, Kalt trained his body every day without missing training, and his strength never weakened.

    Because he knows his efforts better than anyone else.

    Because he knows the role he has played better than anyone else.

    Kalt was dumbfounded by the fact that something disparaging about him came from the mouth of Dread, who barely had any power.

    “profit!”

    Dread tightened both his hands and tried to shake off Kalt’s hand.

    “Let go! Let go, you dirty bastard! How dare you!”

    “Ha, you still don’t understand the topic? I really can’t think of anything.”

    Kalt let go of his fist.

    Dread’s fist suddenly swung backwards as his hand relaxed.

    Dredd, who was drunk and unable to properly judge the difference in skill between himself and Kalt, put all his strength into his fist that swung backwards.

    “Aaaah!”

    He swung his fist at Kalt’s face.

    In the eyes of Kalt, who was working with Maybelle, who was said to be the fastest warrior, that fist was so slow that it made him yawn.

    As if to prove it, Kalt clenched his unclenched hand into a fist and quickly drove his fist into Dread’s side.

    Wow!

    “Big!”

    The fist that had been swinging due to the unexpected pain stopped and the hand naturally moved to the area where the pain was felt.

    Dredd couldn’t breathe properly and couldn’t tell what had just happened.

    “You only have one room? So, can you do your part in the hero’s party?”

    Wow! And Kalt hit Dread’s chin with his palm.

    “uh….”

    Dread’s legs lose strength.

    When Kalt let go of the wrist he was still holding, Dread fell forward with a jerk.

    “D-I can’t believe Dread was defeated so easily.”

    “What, what? What happened?”

    “Wasn’t he just a porter?”

    Murmurs of people who were surprised by the scene that unfolded before their eyes floated around the store.

    Kalt was in a bad mood today.

    Just as I was barely trying to solve an already frustrating problem, I heard something that irritated me and made me feel even worse.

    Therefore, Kalt, who decided to live his life the way he wanted, decided not to end there and punish Dread one more time for offending him.

    Crouching down, Kalt reached out to Dread, who was still unconscious.

    “Uh, ugh….”

    Dread’s eyes, which were still unconscious, lost focus due to the pain.

    Kalt said, making a noise so quiet that Dread could hear it.

    “Hey, you’re a guy who can’t even act like a man from now on. You’re a guy who can’t stand up properly in front of women.”

    Kalt tapped Dread’s cheek with his outstretched hand.

    And he spoke so that everyone around him could hear.

    “Baby. He passed out after being hit a few times.”

    Kalt got up, grabbed Dread’s feet, dragged him out of the store, returned to the store, sat down at his seat, and continued eating.

    “Hey, hey, Mr. Kalt.”

    Jenna spoke to Kalt, who was eating.

    “Thank you for your help.”

    “Thank you. Are you okay with the hand that that bastard grabbed?”

    “Yes. I don’t know what to thank you for.”

    “I have everything to be thankful for….”

    The car that tried to tell me not to worry about Kalt.

    Jenna’s body came into view.

    A cause that is currently responsible to some extent for the sales of the store where Kalt is located.

    That was because Jenna, the leading lady, had a decent appearance by the standards of this town.

    Brown hair that grew to her shoulders and a cute face.

    A breast with a sizable fruit that looks very appetizing to a man.

    Most of the men who visited this store were there just to see Jenna.

    Kalt was always thinking about the schedule and support for the warrior party.

    However, Jenna came into the sight of Kalt, who had left Maybelle’s party and had sworn to live more faithfully to his desires.

    Kalt looked Jenna up and down quickly so that no one would notice.

    Her body is also good.

    More than anything, he’s showing a little favor to me by just helping him.

    Kalt made his judgment based on his observational skills, which were naturally honed through combat experience.

    ‘this… If I touch it just a little bit, it’ll come off, right?’

    Looking back, Kalt thought that he had lived too sincerely.

    I decided to live a good life and repay the kindness of my parents who passed away.

    After that, he was busy cleaning up after the tomboy who became a warrior to repay the kindness of Maybelle’s parents who took care of him for several years.

    And in all those years, I have never hugged a woman.

    ‘In my past life, I did things on false days.’

    When I think about it, I think I may have done something very sorry to my son in this life.

    “Jenna.”

    “Yes, Mr. Kalt.”

    Kalt spread his hands towards Jenna.

    “uh….”

    Kalt said after seeing that Jenna’s eyes had lost focus.

    “After the store, come out to the back alley. Tell me how you can thank me.”

    “…Yes, Mr. Kalt.”

    When Xena’s focus returned, Kalt said with a small smile.

    “See you later, Jenna.”

    “Yeah? Oh, yeah! See you later!”
