“It’s a sight to behold! Indeed! Even if it’s still far away! It’s not a bad idea to set foot in a place you’ll find later!”

    Smoothie noticed that Kalt changed his words when he saw Nellis and nodded and moved his head.

    “Then, Kal~t! Let’s meet again at the auction house!”

    Smoothie walked towards where his party was.

    And after completing the payment, Nellis, who was having a hard time holding back, asked Kalt.

    “Mr. Kalt! Are you really going to the auction house?”

    “Yeah. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to stop by.”

    “Nellis, are you really looking forward to the auction house? There’s nothing special there.”

    Scarlett, who had experience participating in auction houses as a noble, was unfamiliar with Nellis’ reaction.

    “That’s right, it’s an auction house! A legendary sword or something! A promising weapon! Don’t you think it’ll be exciting just to look at it?”

    “okay?”

    While Scarlett still didn’t understand, Arya agreed with Nellis.

    “I’m also a little excited about the auction house. They say there are a lot of precious items coming out, so I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of items will come out.”

    The reactions of Scarlett, who was a noblewoman, and Nellis and Aria, who were just ordinary villagers, were bound to be different.

    but.

    “Well… if you’re that excited, you might as well go.”

    Scarlett didn’t think it was a bad thing to see her colleague’s anticipation and joy.

    After deciding to go to the auction house to be held in a week, Nellis told Kalt what she couldn’t say yesterday.

    “Mr. Kalt! You know Tridia well because you’ve been here, right?”

    “To what extent?”

    “Then… can you guide me to a good place to see in Tridia?”

    “of course.”

    “Hurray!”

    And as Nellis had hoped, she toured various parts of Tridia with Kalt’s guidance.

    First of all, since it’s almost lunch, let’s eat at a restaurant recommended by Kalt, watch a street performance in a crowded square, and a jewelry store that is not helpful in battle but attracts the attention of the women.

    As I wandered around, it was already getting late into the evening.

    After a satisfactory tour, the Nelis party returned to the inn and repeated the usual process.

    Before dinner, Kalt enters Scarlett’s room to check again the results of the counseling and training.

    After Scarlett’s turn, she goes into Aria’s room for counseling and to check her progress in overcoming trauma and the new training added as of yesterday.

    Conduct 10 minutes of training to get Kalt used to looking directly into secret places.

    “This time, let’s get used to being looked at from behind.”

    “Yes… Kalt.”

    Arya turned around and pushed aside her long nun’s veil and the cloth covering her rear end, exposing her tights-covered buttocks to Kalt.

    “Aria’s butt line is also really pretty.”

    “Is that so?”

    It was difficult for both of them to just look at each other in silence for 10 minutes, so Kalt continued to compliment Aria’s body from time to time.

    Aria felt her body subtly becoming warm as she listened to Kalt’s words for 10 minutes during the new special training.

    Although I was embarrassed, I had no desire to quit this special training because I vaguely felt like my problem was being solved.

    In fact, I was worried that there might be something that could be more helpful for special training.

    Up to this point, it was no different from Kalt’s usual training.

    But starting today, Kalt wanted to add a new course.

    After having dinner together.

    Knock knock.

    “Nellis.”

    Squeak!

    “Mr. Kalt?”

    Kalt went to Nellis’ room.

    “Can I come in for a moment?”

    “Ah yes!”

    Tridia is a commercial city where you can encounter not only kobolds but also monsters of other classes.

    This is where Kalt planned to begin counseling for Nellis.

    “What’s going on, Mr. Kalt?”

    “I think I’ll start with Nellis soon.”

    “You’re starting?”

    “Counseling.”

    “ah….”

    ‘Finally, that time has come for me… !’

    When Nellis heard the word “counseling,” her expectations soared.

    Not only Aria but also Scarlett received counseling, and Nellis could see that their current condition had improved.

    However, Kalt has not yet taken any action to improve his condition.

    No, rather, Nellis was thinking that the training and advice to become stronger that had been given so far was probably just counseling.

    But I can’t believe I’m having a consultation here!

    Nellis arrogantly thought that her turn had finally come and that she was now qualified to consult.

    ‘Perhaps since I’m fighting directly, I wouldn’t be able to consult unless I have a certain level of skill!’

    Nellis imagined, understood, and accepted her own reasons for the delay in her consultation.

    “Yes! Let’s begin!”

    Kalt sat down next to Nellis and said.

    “Nellis, as you know, we have to deal with stronger monsters. Among them, there are difficulty C monsters that you are still uneasy about.”

    “yes.”

    “Isn’t Nellis still scared of facing and fighting someone stronger than her?”

    “…yes.”

    No matter how much courage I tried to overcome, there was nothing I could do about it.

    Nellis could only lament, thinking once again how pathetic her problem was as a warrior.

    And towards Nellis.

    “Nellis.”

    Kalt spread his hands.

    “From now on, answer everything I ask honestly.”

    “…yes.”

    Kalt decided to first touch on the root of Nellis’ mental problems.

    “Why is Nellis afraid when dealing with someone stronger than her?”

    “I’m afraid I’ll get hurt. What if my protection doesn’t work? I’m afraid. Once I think of that, I keep thinking about it and my body starts to tremble.”

    “I see. So… is that still the reason?”

    Kalt thought that if Nellis valued her colleagues, a new factor would have been added to the original problem.

    And Kalt’s idea was correct.

    “No… yo. There’s another reason… at first, I was alone, but… I’m afraid because I can imagine what will happen after my protection doesn’t work.”

    “For example?”

    “I’m afraid that if I don’t win and the protection doesn’t work… if it breaks through, Scarlett or Aria will get hurt… I’m scared.”

    Originally, it would be possible to gain courage because of that fear and fear.

    In fact, when Nellis encountered the Kobold King, she did not back down because she thought the villagers would get hurt.

    But I didn’t back down and my body didn’t move well due to fear.

    And the fundamental problem was that the divine protection did not work properly due to that enormous fear.

    then.

    ‘Just help me overcome that fear with hypnosis and that’s it.’

    Nellis has talent.

    In reality, Nellis is so scared that she can’t fight properly.

    He never ran away or anything.

    Therefore, what Kalt did through hypnosis was to amplify Nellis’ courage and at the same time remind her more strongly of the beings she wanted to protect.

    Kalt continued by changing the method of hypnosis so that Nellis could not remember Kalt’s words.

    “Nellis, the more times you repeat the special training I’m talking about, the more courage you will gain.”

    “courage….”

    “The courage to stand up to an enemy stronger than yourself. As that courage grows, your body no longer trembles. And with your blessings, you will strongly believe that you can protect yourself and your friends.”

    “So that I can protect my colleagues….”

    “Yes, because you are a hero. The courage to want to protect someone is what gives you strength.”

    “Courage is strength….”

    After applying hypnosis to solve the fundamental problem, Kalt made Nellis remember his words again and continued talking.

    “Nellis, from now on, I will teach you how to train. If you repeat this method, you will be able to gain a little more ‘courage’.”

    “Yes… Mr. Kalt.”

    “Your problem is that you end up feeling afraid in front of someone you think is stronger than you. And the closer the target is, the bigger that fear gets. Right?”

    “yes….”

    “Then, let’s take special training to resist and show courage while being suppressed at close range by a powerful opponent. Do the special training I thought of and develop ‘courage’. Do you understand?”

    “Yes… Mr. Kalt….”

    Kalt withdrew his hand again.

    “Okay, now I’m going to explain the special training method. Should you listen carefully?”

    “Ah… Yes! I’ll listen carefully, Mr. Kalt!”

    Nellis, who only remembered that Kalt was going to give her special training to show off her ‘courage’, was filled with motivation.

    and.

    “Uh, ka, ka, Mr. Kalt. Is this… special training?”

    “that’s right.”

    Nellis was very embarrassed while receiving special training from Kalt.

    Special training to develop courage while being subdued at close range by a powerful opponent.

    Nellis thought that the only powerful being here was Kalt.

    Therefore, Nellis only thought that the content of the special training would be for Kalt to restrain her by her arms and subdue her while she was lying face down.

    But what Kalt did was different from what Nellis expected.

    No, it was like restraining my arms.

    However, what Nellis was thinking of was a subduing pose that involved restraining both hands together, and what Kalt was doing was a pose that looked like a monster was attacking a woman.

    Kalt was holding both wrists of Nellis, who was lying on the bed, with both hands. Nellis’ legs were spread like a frog, and Kalt was firmly holding them in place with his thighs.

    It’s just that it doesn’t adhere closely to your private parts, but it’s definitely a very embarrassing posture from the outside.

    “Is this really special training!?”

    “Just stay still, Nellis.”

    Kalt smiled his usual kind smile.

    It gave off a cool, deadly vibe.

    “…!”

    Nellis’s heart, which had been embarrassed by the evil energy emanating from Kalt, was transformed into fear of being overcome by a strong man and unable to move.
