The next day, morning.
Kalt woke up early in the morning, finished training, asked Nadia’s understanding, and then swung his sword in the backyard of the inn.
In the backyard of Nadia and Runia’s inn, boom! Boom! The sound of a sword cutting through the wind appears.
“Wow….”
Runia was staring blankly at that scene.
Runia had also seen adventurer and warrior parties in the village several times.
Some people woke up in the morning and sharpened their weapons, while others rented a backyard to train.
Runia had also seen that scene from time to time.
I just passed by, thinking, “You work hard every time.”
However, I could not take my eyes off the sight of Kalt training.
The sight of the handsome Kalt swinging his sword looked like a work of art.
It was as if I was seeing an illusion of the statue coming to life and moving.
What made me think like that was not only Kalt’s decent appearance, but it was also a phenomenon within Runia’s brain that occurred because Kalt’s movements, which had been trained through various experiences, were neat and uncluttered.
Kalt had already noticed Runia’s mesmerized gaze.
Kalt did not think that Runia’s gaze was interfering with his training.
Rather, Kalt liked that view.
How can you dislike people who look at you as if you’re so cool that it’s so mesmerizing?
However, there were people who expressed that they were tired of Kalt’s efforts.
‘Those bitches are really… .’
It’s the Maybelle Party.
-Kalt, are you swinging your sword again this morning? Rather, hurry up and make some breakfast.
-Ha, the smell of sweat in the morning is a bit… Can’t we do it some other time?
-Kalt, what is that? Perfume? Do you really need to buy perfume to get rid of sweat odor?
Memories of being with Maybelle’s party, who kept saying they were annoyed and uncomfortable, and who tried to come up with a solution but they tried to find another solution, flashed through Kalt’s mind.
Kalt stopped training without showing his irritation on his face and approached Runia.
“Hello, Runia. Good morning.”
“Joe, good morning, Mr. Kalt! Well… you’re sincere!”
Runia smiled awkwardly to hide her fascination.
“Because training is important. It’s essential to becoming stronger every day.”
“Well, I think that attitude is cool. Oh, and you can just say it.”
“Really? Okay, Runia.”
Kalt is not particularly particular about honorifics.
To be polite, I use polite words to people I am meeting for the first time, but I use polite words to people I am close to or have no need to respect.
“…!”
A shiver ran down Runia’s spine as the handsome man called her by her name in a friendly manner.
“Runia, where are you?”
I heard Nadia’s voice calling for Runia, who had not come because she was too distracted by Kalt.
After hearing her mother’s voice, Runia came to her senses and hurried into the inn.
“G-go now, Mom!”
Kalt watched Runia’s back as she hurried in and ate her food in her heart.
‘I like Nadia too… Runia is also very appetizing.’
The blatant increase in sexual desire after his first experience in this world made women even more attractive to Kalt.
However, the increased sexual desire was not enough to completely control Kalt.
Kalt washed up and went into the inn to have breakfast.
“Good morning, Mr. Kalt.”
“…hi.”
“Hello, Mr. Kalt.”
When we entered the inn, Nellis’ party, like Kalt, was on the first floor of the inn to have breakfast.
Kalt greeted Nellis Party with a gentle smile.
“Hello, everyone. Good morning.”
“Huh? Mr. Kalt. Your hair is wet.”
“I trained and washed.”
“Training from the morning?”
“yes.”
“Mr. Kalt, you’re working hard! I also want to wake up early in the morning, but I’m just too sleepy. Hehe.”
Nellis said while scratching her cheek awkwardly.
Kalt liked that Nellis spoke honestly.
‘Maybell, she’s whining and asking why she’s up so early in the morning.’
“If you keep doing it, Nellis, you will be able to do it too. If you want, I can help you.”
“Oh really?”
Nellis did not show any displeasure at Kalt’s proposal, but rather her eyes twinkled as if it was a windfall.
“Nellis, don’t make promises like that when we’re not even in the same party yet.”
“Scarlett too. You shouldn’t push her away like that.”
“Anyway, I’m going to give it a try today and then judge. I’m not making promises I can’t keep yet.”
Scarlett scolds Nellis.
As if defending Scarlett, Aria spoke to Kalt.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kalt. I didn’t mean Scarlett in a bad way either.”
“Yes, I know. You’re just being cautious, Scarlett, right?”
Compared to the pretense experienced at Maybelle’s party, Scarlett’s more cautious and honest reaction was better.
“…joy.”
“Everyone~ Breakfast came out today!”
Runia brought food to the table where Nellis Party and Kalt were sitting.
First, after everyone finished eating, Kalt pulled a chair and moved to the table where Nellis’ party was.
“Everyone, what request are you going to make today?”
Nellis’ party had already decided on today’s request in one room yesterday.
“Exterminating kobolds. That’s the most common request in this village, and we’re used to it.”
“Okay. Then, shall we go straight to the guild and go through the formalities?”
In order to make a request, you first had to go through procedures at the guild.
Before the warriors awakened, it was possible to catch monsters in advance and deal with them later.
Now that the government has warned against using tricks to prevent the heroes’ performance from being falsified, the warrior party always had to go through the request process through the guild unless there were special circumstances.
After leaving the inn, Kalt walked to the village guild with Nellis’ party.
“….”
As she walked, Nellis’ mouth became itchy.
‘Oh, should I ask? Should I not? After all, it would be better to ask, right?’
As Scarlett said yesterday, Kalt is trying to break up with his existing party and join his own.
So why did you leave the existing party?
Nellis was very curious about that.
They say he has a good personality, good looks, can cook, and although I’m not sure, he can also provide mental counseling.
Why did Kalt break up with his old party?
As her curiosity increased, Nellis’ mouth became itchy.
‘okay! Anyway, if we’re at the same party, we shouldn’t hide things like this! If you want to be in the same party, shouldn’t you make it known in advance?’
“Hey, Mr. Kalt!”
“Yes, Mr. Nellis.”
“Mr. Kalt, why did you go to the old party….”
Before Nellis could finish speaking, Scarlett elbowed Nellis in the side.
“100 million!”
Scarlett immediately pulled her ears and scolded Nellis in a low voice.
“You idiot! No matter how much you have to ask, just look at the situation.”
“When is the right time to ask…”
“I should at least check the situation when I leave the village after receiving the request! Now I’m going to receive the request, but are you asking me outright, what about you?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kalt. I didn’t ask with bad intentions, Nellis.”
Aria nodded and bowed her head.
“Yes, I know. I’m sure you’re all wondering why I broke up with the original party. Of course, I was planning on telling you on the way to the request. So, please raise your head.”
“Well, look. I said I was planning to talk.”
“You be quiet.”
As soon as they entered the guild, which now had few adventurers, Nellis Party immediately approached the receptionist.
“I’ll ask you to exterminate kobolds.”
“Yes, I understand. But Mr. Nellis? How about taking on requests other than kobolds sometimes? I think you can handle more difficult requests.”
The receptionist only recommended a request of higher difficulty, but did not expect a good answer from Nellis Party.
The receptionist already knew that Nellis’ party was a sloth party that only hunted monsters above a certain level for a long period of time.
But today was different.
“Uh… I’ll think about it after this request is over. Oh, and I’ll add one more person to the request.”
“yes?”
I never thought I would get an answer saying they would consider it.
There’s one more person than that.
The receptionist saw Kalt behind Nellis’ party.
He is the first handsome man I have ever seen in town.
Even though Nellis was behind the party, I thought she was waiting for her next turn.
I never thought it would be someone who was with Nellis’ party.
“I see. What is your name?”
Since it was his first time seeing the receptionist, Kalt answered politely.
“It’s Kalt.”
“Yes, Mr. Kalt. Kalt… Kalt?”
While filling out the request application form, the receptionist repeated Kalt’s name and tilted her head.
It’s a name I’ve heard a lot somewhere.
The receptionist shook her head desperately.
And I remembered where I had heard the name Kalt.
‘Kalt of the fastest hero Maybelle Party?’
The names of all active warrior party members were written down and passed on to each guild, so the receptionist was also able to hear many of Kalt’s names.
They may just have the same name.
However, information was recently relayed to the receptionist.
The Maybell Party recently let go of one member and is recruiting new members.
Still, Kalt, who was in the fastest warrior party, is with Nellis’ party, a sloth party?
Although suspicious, the receptionist cautiously asked Kalt.
“Hey… are you Mr. Kalt, who was in the party of Maybelle, the fastest hero?”
“yes that’s right.”
“”… !?””
At Kalt’s words, not only the receptionist but also Nellis Party looked at Kalt in surprise.
