“What, there is no Kalt?”
The Maybell Party, who returned from the request, asked about Kalt’s whereabouts to check whether the people they had recruited from the guild had gathered.
“Yes. Right after you all left the village to request the request….”
Maybelle didn’t know that Kalt would leave town right after leaving his party.
I thought that if it was the Kalt that Maybelle knew, even if they left, they would find a new party in this town, or they would stay until they came and question them again.
Ianna shrugged her shoulders after hearing the news.
“Didn’t you just listen to our advice and leave?”
Marti smiled brightly.
“Kalt, who has always been strong in his opinion, is like this… I think this withdrawal has been better medicine than I thought. I hope that Kalt can spend peaceful days.”
“Tsk, I was going to ask you to make me some medicine.”
While hunting monsters for this request, Maybelle felt something strange about her body.
The more monsters I hunted, the more I began to sweat and my heart beat faster.
Living up to his name as the fastest hero, he quickly defeated monsters, so the symptoms were short-lived.
Maybelle was unhappy that the symptoms were continuing to appear.
When I was feeling low, Kalt noticed right away and gave me a tonic.
If I just give it to them, they complain that it doesn’t taste good, so I made the tonic as sweet as possible.
Maybelle remembered that when she took that medicine, her body felt warm and her energy improved.
Meanwhile, the receptionist facing Maybelle’s party was embarrassed.
‘What, didn’t we break up because of a fight and a passionate fight?’
I couldn’t find a connection between the way Kalt had looked when he came to the guild and the appearance of Maybelle’s party in front of me now.
Looking at Kalt’s reaction, it seemed like they had broken up in the worst possible way, but looking at Maybelle’s party now, it felt like a party member left for no serious reason.
But that didn’t stop the receptionist from asking about it.
From experience, in cases like this, there’s no way you’ll get any good results from needlessly asking or interfering.
“Well, it can’t be helped if Kalt left. But was there anyone who wanted to join our party?”
“Yes, there was.”
The fastest hero, Maybelle Party, is currently at its peak.
There were those who wanted to join the party and seize the opportunity to make a name for themselves.
“First of all, these three people applied.”
Recruitment conditions given by the Maybell Party before leaving for the request.
That was the person in charge of the vanguard.
Twin swordsman Tx.
Heavy armor warrior Rodrik.
Mutou is there.
These three people posted their names on the recruitment notice to become new members of the Maybelle Party.
“TX, Rodrick, Dinyo. Yes, it’s a name I’ve heard before.”
“How will you meet? Are you going to meet each other one at a time, or all at once?”
“Hmm, I’d like to meet them one by one. Anyway, if we meet them all at once, we won’t be able to know what they’re like right away. In the end, I have to make a request at least once to check their skills.”
Maybelle turned around and asked Ian and Marti.
“Is that okay?”
“OK.”
“I agree too.”
“Okay. Who would you like to meet first?”
“TX.”
“Then, I will tell Mr. Tex to come to the guild tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, please take care of me.”
After completing their business, Maybell’s party left the guild.
Maybelle stretched as soon as she left the guild.
“Ugh~ Let’s quickly go to the restaurant and have something to eat.”
While walking towards the restaurant.
“It hurts!”
Maybelle Party found the child crying in pain.
Seeing that his knees were slightly bruised and his nose was bleeding, I thought he had tripped while walking and fell forward.
Sister at Maybelle Party.
Marti approached the crying child.
There was an injured child, so he wanted to use his divine power to heal it.
‘Now there’s no Kalt to say anything to.’
More than anything, Marty felt a sense of freedom in being able to freely do the things that Kalt had scolded him for until now, and he knelt down to make eye level with the child.
“You must have fallen. Does it hurt a lot?”
“Aaaah! It hurts!”
“Okay, just stay a little while. My sister will treat you.”
Marti prayed and used divine power to bless the child with healing.
Basic recovery blessing heal.
White light surrounds the child.
The wound on my scraped knee disappeared completely, and the nosebleeds that had been flowing from my nose stopped.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, right?”
“Oh, it’s real!”
The child was amazed at the pain that went away after receiving the blessing of recovery.
“Should I be more careful in the future?”
Marti stroked the child’s head and then wiped the blood from his nose with his hand.
“Thank you!”
The child was grateful and ran somewhere.
Looking at the child’s back, Marti felt proud.
‘Why did Kalt really stop such a good thing? Now there is no Kalt nagging me. In the future, it would be nice to extend a healing hand to more injured people.’
Marti looked at his hands for a moment, thinking about what was to come.
His own hand covered in the child’s nosebleed.
“…!”
My heart pounded! Marti’s heart responded.
The thought of wanting to quickly do something about the child’s blood on his hands filled Marti’s mind right now.
Marti quickly took out a handkerchief from the pocket on his thigh with his other hand and wiped the blood from his hand.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
Only after the blood was wiped away did the suddenly beating heart return to normal.
‘This can’t be… . Oh, no. That can’t be possible. I should have already been healed… .’
Marti has experienced many similar sensations in the past.
A problem that had been bothering him so much.
It was similar to the feeling I once had when I was unable to grow further and was experiencing problems that other parties could not accept.
‘Probably not. It’s much weaker than it was then. that’s right. I was just a little surprised to see blood on my hands. I’m sure it will.’
Marti hastily stuffed the blood-stained handkerchief into his thigh pocket.
‘That can’t be possible. There’s no way it could happen again now… .’
“Marti, what are you doing? Come quickly.”
I heard Maybelle’s voice calling me.
“Oh! I’m sorry, Maybelle!”
“I’m sorry. I was watching everything too, right?”
“You were watching everything?”
“Okay. Treating the child who fell. Let’s go faster than that. I’m hungry.”
On the surface, Marti’s behavior was not problematic.
I just stood still and wiped the blood from my hands with a handkerchief.
“Yes, yes. I am.”
Marti followed Maybelle and Ianna back toward the restaurant.
With anxiety in mind that has not yet been clearly revealed.

Late afternoon, before dinner.
Aria called Nellis and Scarlett to her room, saying she had something to say.
“What? Are you going to talk about it?”
In response to Scarlett’s question, Aria took a deep breath and spoke to her precious colleagues.
“Actually… I decided to receive psychological counseling from Mr. Kalt starting today.”
“what?”
“really?”
The two people widened their eyes in surprise at the sudden declaration.
“Then you really said that? And that too?”
“Yes. To solve the problem, you need to know Mr. Kalt properly. Besides, you are a colleague, so you need to know Mr. Kalt, right?”
“…What was he like?”
Scarlett asked seriously.
For Scarlett, Aria is also a valuable colleague.
I was worried that Kalt might have reacted rudely after hearing about Arya’s problem.
“Thank you for your concern, Scarlett. Mr. Kalt listened to my story, took it seriously… and said he would do his best to resolve the issue.”
“…okay.”
“As expected, Mr. Kalt is kind~. Actually, I sparred with Mr. Kalt today too.”
“What? You sparred with that guy? Weren’t you there to watch him train?”
“Are you okay, Nellis? Mr. Kalt is better than Nellis….”
“Yes. Watching you train, I really knew that you were much stronger than me. Plus, I saw you practice swinging the Mana Blade while drawing it out. Really, it was like watching a work of art!”
“No, it’s okay for that man to swing a sword. He said they sparred. Don’t change the story.”
“I’m sorry. I… we sparred, but we couldn’t do it for a long time. Mr. Kalt only defended at first, and later he adjusted the speed so that I could block as well….”
“Have you been caught?”
“No! I didn’t get caught! Mr. Kalt just saw my condition and said he seemed tired, so we stopped sparring.”
“Nellis, why did we spar?”
“Well~ Mr. Kalt said that pure swordsmanship skills are important to draw the Mana Blade. I couldn’t refuse when he said he would check my skills….”
“Ugh.”
Sensing that Scarlett was trying to nag her, Nellis immediately changed the subject.
“What Aria wanted to say is more important than what I said! Aria! So, how was the psychological counseling? Do you think it was effective?”
“I’m not sure because today is my first time. Still… I want to do my best.”
“What did that man say during the consultation?”
Aria said they should start counseling right away and told Nellis and Scarlett what Kalt had said to her.
“Wow… Impressive! Should I think like that when I fight? When this fight is over, everyone will have fun…!”
“Shut up! If you talk, it’s more than just embarrassing, it’s embarrassing!”
Nellis pouted her lips at Scarlett, who slapped her forearm.
“Ah, why~.”
Looking at that, Aria smiled happily.
‘To see this sight. is it so. Not for something grand like world peace, but for time with precious colleagues… .’
After seeing the scene highlighted by Kalt in front of her eyes, Aria became even more determined to overcome and solve her problem.
