“Haaaab!”
Suddenly!
It’s been a week since I received Kalt’s guidance.
Maintaining the now familiar posture, Nellis cut off the kobold’s head in one go.
‘It’s easier to move your body!’
And every time she caught a kobold, Nellis felt herself growing.
At the same time, I felt every day that there was nothing wrong with Kalt’s teachings.
It hasn’t even been a week since I started in earnest, but I guess it’s thanks to my persistence.
Nellis, whose flexibility had increased, felt that it was easier to stretch and move her body than before.
‘Every time I did flexibility training, it hurt a lot! It was worth the pain! On the contrary, it doesn’t hurt a little bit now, so I’m worried about Mr. Ka and Kalt’s touch… .’
Nellis is also a woman in her prime.
He couldn’t help but be conscious of the hand of the opposite sex touching his body.
How could he not care, since he is a handsome man and Kalt’s hand is kind to him.
‘No, you shouldn’t think like that! Mr. Kalt is thinking of me!’
“Nellis.”
“Ah, yes! Mr. Kalt!”
“Come here and mine the magic stone.”
“yes yes!”
Nellis has recently been learning not only how to fight, but also how to sharpen magic stones from Kalt at what angle.
Meanwhile, Nellis wasn’t the only one feeling growth.
“Nellis! Kalt! Next time several kobolds appear, just hold your feet for a moment! This time, intermediate magic will succeed!”
“What should we do, Mr. Kalt?”
“Challenges to advance are always welcome.”
“Okay, Scarlett!”
Scarlett, who succeeded in manifesting beginner magic even though there were many monsters, was seeing the possibility that she could use intermediate magic with more concentration next time.
Aria too.
“God, please hear my prayers today for my colleagues.”
Even if it was rare to use blessings directly against monsters of this level, I was actively working to overcome trauma by praying as if I was casting a blessing.
Of course, Aria was working hard every day because she was showing signs of overcoming it.
And it has been eight days since Kalt began teaching Nellis in earnest.
A day that became a holiday according to Kalt’s opinion.
Nellis carefully asked Kalt while eating breakfast.
“Hey… Mr. Kalt.”
“Why, Nellis?”
“Meh, can you tell me about what happened at Maybelle’s party?”
“what?”
“Hey, you idiot!”
“Nellis, anyway, that story….”
“Ah, no! It’s not the story of that strange, painful time! That’s…!”
Nellis shakes her head and tries to make an excuse.
Kalt first comforted Scarlett and Aria.
“Scarlett, Aria, calm down. So Nellis. You want to hear what I said about what happened at Maybelle’s party? Why?”
“Uh… Well, we have to leave this village in a week, right?”
“yes?”
“Then… Mr. Kalt has a lot of experience, so maybe he stopped by other areas during the Maybell Party and received some kind of request. I would like to hear about the scenery of other areas you have visited and what the monsters you faced were like… things like that.”
“Ah. That’s what you said.”
What Nellis wanted was not about Kalt’s hardships at Maybelle’s party, but purely about what experiences and achievements he had accumulated as a warrior party.
Both Scarlett and Aria realized what Nellis meant.
“Then can’t you say it a little more convincingly? Just say what kind of monster you’ve caught before, or where you’ve been so far.”
“But in the end, the story of Mr. Kalt’s past cannot be left out of the Maybelle party….”
“Scarlett, I know Nellis didn’t mean anything when she asked. But is it okay to talk about Kalt?”
“Well, of course, if Mr. Kalt doesn’t want to talk, it’s okay!”
Kalt looked as cute as a chick as Nellis Party glanced at him.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll tell you as much as I can. My experience will be helpful to you.”
“Kah, Mr. Kalt…!”
“So. What do you most want to hear, Nellis?”
“Monster! When I fought the strong monster that Mr. Kalt faced!”
“It’s a monster….”
While thinking deeply, Kalt mentioned a memory that came to mind.
“What about the story about the fight with the ogre?”
“Ogre!”
Ogre.
It’s about three times the size of a human.
A monster with such strong grip that it can even break rocks and swing a huge axe, causing a party of warriors or adventurers who were trying to stand out, to be killed when they try to hunt it.
A monster that ranks as B in terms of difficulty.
Therefore, Ogre is sometimes treated like a gatekeeper who tests the qualifications of veterans.
And it was a monster with power that Nellis’ party, excluding Kalt, could not even deal with.
“I want to listen!”
Kalt naturally laughed when he saw Nellis looking at him with bright eyes.
“Phew. Okay, I’ll tell you. Let’s finish eating first.”
After finishing the meal, Kalt opened his mouth as he felt the eyes of Scarlett and Aria, who were looking at him with excited anticipation, although not as much as Nellis and Nellis, who were looking forward to it the most.
“At that time, all of the party’s problems had been resolved. It was a time when we had accumulated achievements and stood out, so our name was making the rounds.”
It was a time when Kalt’s hypnosis was used to solve Maybelle, Ianna, and Marti’s problems, and the amount of requests was increasing in earnest, and his skills were also improving.
“Were you able to use Mana Blade back then?”
“No. At that time, neither I nor Maybelle were young. Ianna wasn’t good at advanced magic, and Marty was just beginning to be able to assist the party well and was learning various blessings.”
Like any other hero’s party, Maybelle’s party was in the midst of growing into prominence.
It started with Maybelle’s flock.
Maybelle actively suggested that they should catch the ogre now that their skills have improved.
After her phobia of monsters was cured through hypnosis, Maybelle became more active in exterminating monsters, as if the reins were loosened.
At the time, Kalt tried to stop Maybelle with the opinion that she needed to improve her skills.
but.
“Will we do it? Will we do it? There’s no way our skills won’t work against something like an ogre!”
Maybelle’s herd did not end.
“It’s not that it won’t work, but even if it does work, you should be able to win for sure. The skin of an ogre is tough and hard. At least you and I must learn the Mana Blade….”
“When are you going to learn the Mana Blade? I don’t like swinging my sword until it makes Kalt sweat every morning… Ah! Bo, don’t pull my cheek!”
“That’s why you’re wearing perfume. You swarm!”
“Maybelle, don’t you know that good Kalt gets angry when people interfere with his training?”
“Maybelle has been with Kalt more than us, so you would know.”
At this time, Ian and Marti also sided more with Kalt.
“Even without the Mana Blade, with Ianna’s magic and Marti’s good support, we can catch it! We are now a hero party that is attracting attention, so of course we should be more active!”
Anyway, if they objected again, they would be in trouble for three days, so Kalt came up with a compromise.
“Then, first, let’s observe what’s going on near the habitat. And if you don’t think we’ll be an opponent, withdraw immediately. Understood?”
“Hey! Ogres won’t be able to keep up with my speed, so don’t worry!”
“ha….”
And the Maybelle party finished preparing and headed to the cave where the ogre written on the request was located.
The Maybelle party arrived at the cave, smoothly defeating the monsters they encountered along the way.
“I’ll take a look first, so you stay here.”
Kalt carefully made his way through the cave, keeping his footsteps quiet.
I found an ogre chewing on a wild boar inside a cave.
The Ogre I saw for the first time was quite intimidating and I could immediately sense that it was not an easy opponent.
Kalt carefully came out of the cave again and spoke to Maybelle.
“There is one. I caught a wild boar and was eating it?”
“Okay! You mean it’s there? Then let’s attack it right away!”
“When I saw it, it looked quite strong. Honestly, I think it would be better to withdraw.”
“Hmph! Kalt scared me!”
“what?”
“How can we retreat when we’ve come this far? It’s so ugly! If they get in our hands, we won’t be able to deal with an ogre!”
“Seriously, where does that useless confidence come from?”
‘After curing my fear of monsters, didn’t my timid personality come out too strongly?’
“Kalt, how about giving it a try?”
“Ianna?”
“If it’s dangerous, we’ll withdraw quickly. Just like Maybelle said, we’ve come all the way here.”
“Even Marty. … Ha. Yes, if both of you say that, there’s nothing we can do.”
“Kalt you! Why do you accept what the two of you say!”
“Because I’m more trustworthy than you.”
“what!”
It was when the Maybelle party was about to decide to enter the cave.
Boom in the cave! A loud boom was heard.
“Well, I don’t think there’s any need to go in.”
“Maybelle, your voice was the loudest, so I think it could be heard all the way into the cave.”
“Oh, I told you to stop nagging me!”
“Get your swords out! Get everyone ready! Marti! Last time, you said you learned to improve your speed and strengthen your strength! Please do that.”
“I understand! God, please give them strength and nimble feet!”
“Hehehe, I’ll hit you like an auger right away at my own speed!”
“I always said, always be cautious, stay alert, and deal with your enemies….”
“Nun~Nun~.”
‘Oh, that’s just… .’
-Kooo!
The moment the Maybelle party is ready.
The ogre came out of the cave.
“Give me your neck!”
Maybelle, the fastest warrior, was the first to kick the ground with God’s protection.
