“Scarlett, are you okay?”
Kalt took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to Scarlett.
“uh, ah.”
Only after looking at the handkerchief handed to her did Scarlett realize that she was crying.
“…!”
Scarlett, who took the handkerchief as if by snatching it, quickly wiped her tears and turned her head.
‘I’m embarrassed! I’m embarrassed! I’m embarrassed! What, why are you crying! Well, how can I just hear something like that! Oh really… !’
Scarlett quickly wiped away all her tears and returned the handkerchief to Kalt.
“Thank you. I think there’s dust in my eyes.”
“I see.”
Kalt did not bother to question the excuse, which no one could see.
‘Are you softer-hearted than you think? No, since I had such a past, I might be weak against favor.’
Scarlett crossed her arms and asked in a deliberately questioning manner.
“So! How on earth are you going to try to solve the problem? I’ll tell you, I tried several times and failed. It won’t be easy!”
“That may be possible. But I have no intention of giving up. It’s a matter for my colleagues, so I have to do my best.”
“eww….”
When Scarlett heard that she was a colleague and that she would do her best to solve her problems, Scarlett tried to let out the emotions that had been overwhelming due to the past conversation she had just made.
“Scarlett, if it’s okay with you, can I get psychological counseling right now?”
“now?”
“Yes. Even if it doesn’t work… I want to try it as soon as possible.”
For some reason, Scarlett couldn’t meet Kalt’s eyes looking directly at her, so she turned her head again.
“Do it, try it.”
“Okay. Then Scarlett.”
Kalt asked, extending his hand towards Scarlett.
“Let’s say again what your problem is. First, re-identify the problem.”
Scarlett responded, slightly dazed.
“…huh.”
In a state of hypnosis where she remembered what Kalt had said, Scarlett recited her problem.
When multiple monsters come at once, the magic cannot be continued because the focus is concentrated on other areas.
Also, when faced with or thinking about a friend’s crisis, he became anxious, which also reduced his ability to concentrate for magic.
Kalt analyzed Scarlett’s problem once again.
‘Scarlett’s problem is not that she lacks concentration, but that she focuses too much. And Scarlett can’t control that concentration.’
Of course, this problem can be easily solved by Kalt using hypnosis.
What Kalt is thinking about now is how to make it convincing that there is a plausible solution.
This can also be resolved directly with hypnosis.
‘Then it’s too bland and uninteresting.’
Rather, Kalt preferred to see people rejoicing and thanking him for giving good reasons.
After thinking for a moment, Kalt spoke to Scarlett.
“Scarlett, I think to solve your problem you need to focus on two things.”
“two….”
“Yes, one is to practice dispersion so that your concentration is not focused too much on one place.”
“Dispersion… practice….”
“Okay. Let’s try it like this.”
Kalt explained to Scarlett.
In one hand is the basic magic Light.
While maintaining the glowing magic, imagine worrying about your colleagues or a situation where several monsters are approaching.
Because Scarlett’s concentration is focused on worrying just by worrying.
It is a training exercise in which you keep using magic that can be used with a small amount of magical energy while thinking about other things, worrying, or imagining a situation where multiple monsters are approaching.
“training….”
“Yes, it’s training. And what we’re going to do next… is to believe in the abilities of our colleagues and also strongly recognize that we need to focus on magic for them.
“Believe… recognize….”
“Scarlett, you have a warm heart. Because you care about your colleagues, you care deeply about them. You value them enough to focus on them. But Scarlett, that’s proof that you don’t trust your colleagues’ abilities.”
“I don’t trust my colleagues’ skills… No… Hey, I….”
“Yes, it doesn’t mean I can’t trust you at all. But even if I do, I still have a lot of insecurities. But just a little more. I keep telling myself to trust my colleagues’ abilities just a little more.”
“To myself….”
“Yes. It’ll be okay. I’m just trusting that my comrade will be able to survive without getting seriously hurt until the magic is completed. I’m with you at the party right now, right?”
“There’s Kalt….”
“That’s right, I’m here. So you can feel more secure. In addition… think about it this way. Fundamentally, in order to eliminate worries about your colleagues, you need to complete the magic quickly. The completion of the magic is most directly related to the safety of your colleagues. I mean, it’s done.”
“The completion of magic…is directly related to safety….”
“okay.”
After finishing what he had to say, Kalt immediately changed the type of hypnosis.
Just like Aria, Scarlett is now unable to understand what Kalt is saying to her.
“Scarlett, the more you repeat the training I told you about, the more you will be able to disperse your concentration. Even if you can only do a little at first, you will gradually be able to maintain concentration when using magic, even if you worry about your colleagues or face a situation where monsters are coming. .”
“If you repeat it… you can maintain it….”
“And the more you think about trusting your colleagues, the more comfortable you become.”
“comfort.”
“Yes. Comfort. Comfort of trusting your colleagues. Comfort of having colleagues. Comfort of having your colleagues’ backs. And the more you feel comfortable, the more you think. To be able to feel this comfort more clearly, you need to use magic. Yujiga. And the quick activation of magic must be realized.”
“Magic maintenance and quick activation….”
“Yes. And….”
Kalt said to Scarlett the same thing he said to Aria.
“Even if you worry about your friends, even if you fight countless monsters, when you gradually become able to maintain and activate magic. At that time, you have a strong awareness that the problem is being solved thanks to me.”
“I recognize that it is thanks to Kalt….”
“I am firmly engraving in my mind that the problem can be solved because of me.”
‘Scarlett’s preparations are complete.’
Kalt broke the hypnosis and spoke to Scarlett.
“Did you hear that right? First, train the way I taught you.”
Scarlett nodded, the light returning to her eyes.
“Huh? Uh, yeah. Okay. But is this going to work?”
“Because it’s better than not doing anything. Rather than just trying to overcome it in real life, sometimes it’s more helpful to build up from the less difficult ones, even though they’re similar to real life situations.”
“…okay.”
After the hypnosis is broken, all Scarlett remembers is how Kalt trained her to stay focused and how she specifically thought about her colleagues. The question was about what the comfort gained from that thought was directly related to.
Scarlett couldn’t completely believe that the method Kalt suggested would actually be effective.
However, he could not blindly deny Kalt’s words, who must have had more experience than him, and at the same time, he did not want to blindly deny Kalt’s method, which he said would work hard to solve his problem.
‘Yeah, it’s not really a way for me to lose money.’
“I’ll do as you say.”
“Yes, let me know if you get any results.”
“why?”
“Because I want to be happy together.”
Seeing Kalt’s soft smile, Scarlett’s face got hot and she turned her head again.
“…Yeah, okay. If there are any results, I’ll tell you.”
“Yeah. Then I’ll just head out.”
“Let’s go out?”
“I was able to hear about Scarlett’s problems, and I also received psychological counseling.”
When Kalt was about to leave.
“Now, wait a minute.”
Scarlett called Kalt over.
“why?”
“What you said today…about the past. Did you tell it to Nellis or Aria?”
“No, Scarlett is the first person to say this in such detail?
“Okay… can I tell you two what you said?”
“Yes, you can do it. It’s not like I was hiding anything.”
With those words, Kalt left Scarlett’s room.
“….”
Scarlett, left alone, put the book in her luggage and lay down on the bed.
and.
“…Ugh!”
He covered his face with both hands and kicked.
Because I was embarrassed.
Not only did she shed tears in front of Kalt, but she ended up acting completely differently from what she had originally thought.
After Aria receives counseling, if Nellis reveals her problems to Kalt and receives psychological counseling, she will probably end up receiving it herself.
That’s what I thought, but I ended up receiving psychological counseling from Kalt before Nellis.
Moreover, I tried to just tell him about the problem and end it, but when I heard that he sympathized with his story and told me to seriously solve his problem, I felt weak and ended up going straight to psychological counseling.
‘Why are you doing this! ‘Was I such an easy woman?’
Of course, I don’t think that receiving psychological counseling from Kalt was wrong in itself.
That and this and this.
There is such a thing as a woman’s pride.
◈
next day.
After finishing his usual training, Kalt encountered Nellis and his group on the first floor of the inn.
“Starting today, we’ll be exterminating kobolds again, so cheer up….”
“Mr. Kalt!”
“Khalt!”
“huh?”
“I will do my best! I will become stronger and even surpass Maybelle’s party!”
“Me too! I will definitely solve the problem and become a better party than Maybelle’s!”
“Uh, huh?”
Kalt was confused by Nellis and Aria’s sudden reaction.
‘Hey guys, why are you like this?’
Kalt looked at Scarlett, who was the calmest.
Scarlett said with a shocked expression.
“This is what I told you about yesterday.”
“what?”
