“Does this make sense? How… how can this happen!”
Maybelle trembled and clenched her fists.
An adventurer who applied after seeing a recruitment advertisement after expelling Kalt.
Twin swordsman Tx.
Heavy armor warrior Rodrik.
Mutou is there.
In the Maybelle party, all three people formed a party with one person each and took the test.
And as a result, the expression on Maybelle’s face now told the answer.
Twin swordsman Tex boasted that he was confident in his speed.
However, he could not keep up with the speed of Maybelle, who was called the fastest warrior.
“Wait a minute, isn’t that too fast!”
“What? How can it be this fast?”
To check his skills, Maybelle was astonished to see that Kalt was already making weak noises even though he was only going at half the speed he was following.
Even though we had only encountered three monsters, Tex was out of breath.
“It should be twice this speed.”
“Two times as much? How is that possible when you don’t have any divine protection!”
“You can do well by strengthening your body. Kalt did it.”
“I-I can’t do it!”
Twin swordsman Tex gave up on joining Maybell’s party that day.
Next is the heavy armor warrior Rodrik.
Maybelle’s specialty was her specialty, so she didn’t expect Rodrick to move in harmony with her.
Since he didn’t have Kalt, he thought it would be enough to protect Ianna and Marty for a while from the monsters he might unleash.
but.
“How much are you spilling? This is too much!”
“Hold on just a moment! I’ll just kill these guys and then I’ll be gone.”
“Wait a minute! Whoa! Hey! Don’t just sit there and watch, hurry up and use some magic.”
“I know.”
Suddenly! Ianna’s magic cut down the monster pressing Roderick.
“Can’t you use a bigger spell? Don’t just knock it down!”
“…There’s no need to use big magic on such a trivial monster, right?”
“What? This is nothing special! How can you tell?”
After somehow defeating all the monsters, Maybelle complained to Roderick.
“What, I can’t even stop it that much.”
“I wish you hadn’t gotten too far ahead in the first place! Why are you moving forward unnecessarily!”
“Because it ends faster.”
“It’s going to end quickly? It’s better to think about safety even if it’s a little late.”
“It’s noisy. It’s best to defeat monsters quickly.”
“Profit! Is this what you want to eat?”
Heavy armored warrior Rodrik left Maybelle’s party in anger.
Lastly, there is Mutuga Dingyo.
“Please take care of me, Lord Maybelle.”
“Uh, okay.”
Having already experienced the attitude of the two people before, Maybelle gave in as much as she could and defeated the monster without speeding up or getting ahead.
Although the monster itself was slow, it could be defeated smoothly.
but.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
‘Really, why are you doing this? why… “Why are you doing this recently?”
The longer she had to deal with the monster, the longer Maybelle’s heart began to race, she began to sweat, and for some reason she felt anxious.
But Maybelle wasn’t the only one who had problems.
“Ianna! Wipe it out at once!”
“….”
Whiuuut!
“No, Wind Storm is good, but why not get a bigger one?”
Obviously, the high-power magic she normally used would have wiped it out in one go, but Ianna did not use magic that exceeded mid-level power.
“This is enough, we need to see more of Dingyo’s skills.”
“Hehe, I’ll do my best!”
Because Maybelle controlled herself, Dingyao was never unable to follow in battle.
However, due to the nature of being a martial artist, you have to hit monsters directly and are the most vulnerable to damage, so you often end up in Marty’s favor.
“Please take care of me this time too, Lord Marti.”
“yes….”
A wound that is worse than a minor wound, but cannot be called a major injury.
However, Dinyo, who suffered from several wounds that should not be ignored, received healing from Marti’s blessings several times.
And every time that happened, Marti’s complexion got worse and worse.
“Hmm? It’s okay, Prince Marti. You don’t look good.”
“It’s okay… It’s okay, so just go do your business.”
“…? Okay.”
After completing the quest to exterminate the monster, the Maybelle party secretly checked each other’s complexions and intuitively realized what each other’s condition was.
and.
“Dingyo, I’m sorry. I can’t include you in the party.”
“Hmm, I guess that’s right. I guess Soin’s skills have caught the eye of Lord Maybelle. I’ll just work harder in the future. I understand.”
Fortunately, Dinyo was able to break up with Maybell Party in the easiest way.
That night.
Maybelle’s party gathered in one room and looked serious.
“Ianna, Marti, you guys are the same… right? That’s what I think, right?”
“…Is that maybe Maybel is like that too?”
“Two, two people, no way….”
The situation where the complexion was dark and the attitude of watching each other continued made Maybelle look at reality.
And the reality that Maybelle saw was so terrible.
“Does this make sense? How… how can this happen!”
Something unbelievable happened.
“Why! Our problem is coming up again! I’m sure everything will be better!”
They finally realized it.
A problem they were sure they had solved.
The fact that the problems that caused them to be labeled as a slacker party in the past are rising again and attacking them.
“How much… how much? It’s definitely not the same as the first time, is it?”
Not only Maybelle felt the same mixed and despairing feelings, but also Ian and Marti.
But the good news is.
“That’s… no.”
“me too.”
It was better than when their problems were at their most serious before they got better.
But that was okay.
They judged their own problems.
It’s better than the first time, but if you leave it like this, it will never be possible for it to function as usual.
It is difficult not only to hunt high-level monsters that have been done so far, but also to make long-term requests.
It was obvious that everyone would think it was strange if I received a request for a problem that had recurred.
“To what extent….”
Marti spoke first in response to Maybelle’s question.
“Blood… I can’t pray properly if I keep seeing blood up close for more than eight times.”
Marti was a nun with a fear of blood.
Normally, unless it was a small amount of blood from a needle prick, I would feel dizzy and even faint when I saw blood flowing from a wound.
“I can use up to intermediate level magic. But when I get to advanced level, I can’t concentrate like I used to.”
Ianna had the problem that the more difficult the magic, the lower her concentration when forming the magic.
The theory he needed to use was clear and he had enough magic power, but he just couldn’t manifest it.
When I met Kalt and Maybelle, they were at a level where they couldn’t even use intermediate level magic.
And finally, Maybelle spoke.
“Encountering a living monster for more than 10 minutes… I can’t do it.”
Maybelle, the fastest hero.
What she has is a fatal problem as a hero.
It was monster phobia.
The problem that bothered Kalt the most at the beginning of the adventure.
This was a problem that was discovered only after Maybelle, who grew up in a peaceful village where there were epidemics but no monster attacks, went on an adventure.
Ianna and Marti joined at Kalt’s recommendation because they seemed in some trouble and at the same time seemed to have potential.
And the problems faced by Maybelle, who came along at the request of the lady next door who accepted her, were clearly on a much better level compared to the first time.
But they could never be satisfied with that level.
There is a glory that I have already tasted.
They still remember the joy they felt when they overcame it.
But the problem reoccurs again.
For them, the current situation was more desperate than anything else.
At the same time, it was a problem that needed to be resolved quickly.
Feeling anxious and desperate, Maybelle raised her voice and shouted at Ianna.
“Ianna, can you think of anything? You’re smart! Think about why you’re doing this!”
“Be quiet! I’m thinking about it too!”
“Why on earth… Why on earth are you putting us through this ordeal… Ah, God.”
Not only Ianna, but also Maybelle and Marti desperately racked their brains to figure out why they ended up in this situation.
But no matter how much time passed, no specific cause came to mind.
Their nervousness grew, their anxiety gnawed at their hearts, and their despair made them think of the worst possible situation.
Maybelle shook her head and bit her thumbnail, trying to get the worst-case scenario out of her mind.
‘No, no, no, no! If it continues like this, it will be the same as before! Things will never go back to the way they were! Another day when Kalt nags me… ! sleep… Can Kalt?’
“Khalt.”
“huh?”
“Khalt?”
It was a vague idea.
It was a baseless guess.
But coincidentally.
“Khalt must know something!”
That was the answer closest to the truth.
“What do you mean Kalt knows?”
“Maybelle, please tell me more.”
“Woah, if you think about it, we ended up like this after Kalt left! I don’t know what they did, but what did they do to us when Kalt left!”
“What did Kalt do?”
“Maybelle, no matter what, that’s….”
Ian and Marti couldn’t believe what Maybelle said.
That’s because after announcing Kalt’s exile, we haven’t seen each other even once since Kalt left the room.
After making that declaration in the first place, they immediately posted a recruitment notice and requested monster extermination, so Kalt didn’t even have time to do anything to them.
But to Maybelle, none of that mattered.
If there was even the slightest possibility, I wanted to grab it.
Even if it wasn’t the case, I didn’t want to accept my situation easily.
“Then what is it? Even Ianna! Even Marti doesn’t know! Then there is only Kalt! Now we have no choice but to go find Kalt!”
They both know that what Maybelle says is raw.
However, rather than blaming Maybelle, the nervousness, anxiety, and despair that the problem had reoccurred sympathized with her feelings.
“…Okay. It’s highly likely not, but I have no choice but to look for it.”
“I agree, too. Although I have good intentions, I am reluctant to face Kalt, who kicked me out.”
The policy of the Maybelle Party has been decided.
