It seems that my eyes, which were constantly growing with SSR characters, feel strange when I see an ordinary awakened person.

First, I lifted the ax and cut off the necks of the squirming creatures, cutting their lifelines.

Kwasik! Kwasik!

“Wow~”

Clap clap clap!

The woman clapped as she watched me end the monster’s life.

“This thing can really kill everyone. “So fucking sexy.”

“… … .”

She casually spits out vulgar swear words that a noble lady should not utter.

Anyone who sees him will think he is a mercenary, not a nobleman.

“Why is such a talented person here? ah! “Did you meet Adari when you were trying to go into a really deep place?”

I was planning on going deeper, but since I had to join Thalia, I ended up wandering around the beginning.

“Whatever happens! thank you. Even though you were the one who provided the cause, you saved me. “Thank you for saving my life!”

The woman bowed her head 90 degrees and said thank you.

At first, I thought he was a rude person for pointing things out at me, but I think that was a hasty judgment.

“But.”

The woman raised her head and carefully made a fortune.

“I know this is really shameless, but can I ask you one more thing?”

No, he might just be a rude person.

“… Say it. “I also want to hear what happened.”

Let’s die together because this happened because of you! Isn’t that just embarrassing?

“How did that happen… .”

The woman calmly began to explain.

A group of monsters appeared that we couldn’t handle, so the group hid, but I suddenly made a loud noise, which attracted the monsters’ attention, and we were in danger of being caught, so we had to run away.

I understood that it was a crisis because as many as 20 monsters had appeared, and I could somewhat sympathize with the statement that this division was created because of me.

“So, what do you mean? I don’t want to do this either, but it’s very dangerous for my colleagues, right? Since I dragged 8 of them, it means that my other colleagues are being chased by the remaining 12. “Everyone would have been scattered here and there, so how could we handle 12 of them?”

“How many colleagues do you have?”

“There are six people including me.”

“5 people, 12 birds? Hmm.”

You can’t even get that far, what about regular parties?

No, this is probably the skill of the average awakened person.

It was a refreshing feeling to live among people who were stronger than me and to be asked to protect them.

I will continue to meet ordinary awakened people in the future, and I felt that I needed to adapt to the gap between SSR and ordinary awakened people.

I looked so high that I was ignorant of what level was below.

“Besides, there’s no way two or three of us can follow each other, right? Someone, like me, is probably taking on a lot of responsibility and running away. So, can you please save my colleagues? There is no way I can save my colleagues with my skills. “You are strong enough to do something like this without any trouble.”

Strong… .

“Tell me what you want and I will do my best to accommodate it. Please.”

“Hmm, do you have anything?”

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like something a penniless person with nothing would suggest.

“One body is healthy!”

“You’re going to pay me back with my body? “I’m expensive.”

There is no place for this woman right now.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I thought that there would be no place to use it even though I had an awakened body.

‘It would be nice to have.’

Plus, they say my actions unintentionally influenced them… .

“I’m prepared!”

“You will have to keep your promise to repay with your body. “You said there were 6 people including you, right?”

“yes!”

“Wait here. “I don’t know if I can save all five people, but I will try.”

“Thank you for just trying. “I will recover my strength and move as quickly as possible.”

The woman wasn’t sitting down for no reason.

Even if I wanted to get up, I couldn’t.

Although I was just standing there saying thank you, my legs were still shaking.

In this state, I can’t go to rescue my comrades even if I want to.

That’s why you asked me to do it.

“follow your heart. “I’ll be here in two hours.”

“Will it be two hours? !”

Whiing~!

I think the woman said something, but I couldn’t hear it because I was already flying up into the sky with telekinesis.

It was a hassle to go back down.

It didn’t seem that important, so I decided to ignore it and went up a little higher, opened my eyes wide, and checked the tree.

“There are traces over there.”

Perhaps because he is the type of person who crashes into trees to clear a path, he seemed to be able to find the woman’s companion by checking the fallen trees.

“Let’s go over there.”

I climbed onto a strong tree branch and jumped on it to gain momentum.

A rather loud cloud of dust was rising quite nearby.

* * *

“Huh, oh oh… Hey, are you alive? “Did you buy it?”

A man rubbed his eyes in disbelief after seeing the monster fall down spouting blood after being hit by an axe.

I offered water to the man who was losing his senses to help him come to his senses and then said,

“You should find a colleague about 10 minutes southwest. “There will be traces left, so follow them and move on.”

“Who are you?”

“I am a person who was asked to do this by a colleague.”

“colleague… Are you okay? “What about other people?”

“You are second.”

“omg! Ah, I see. thank you! I’m fine now, so please go and save me. “Can we just go over there?”

“yes.”

The man didn’t drink all the water and held it out to me.

“Everyone will be very thirsty from running around so hard.”

“There’s plenty of water, so take it.”

I was planning on spending a few days here, but I guess I brought only water.

I left the man behind and returned to the sky.

After successfully rescuing a total of 4 people through several processes, I was left with a headache when only one person remained.

I told Damon to look around, but it looks like he hasn’t found it since he hasn’t returned yet.

“Where did you go?”

I didn’t think I would come up with a good number if I kept searching alone, so I moved to where my group was gathered.

I saw the five people who had been rescued and joined the group huddled together and chatting.

“uh? “You have come!”

“Benefactor!! welcome!”

Everyone welcomes me happily, but they also diligently check behind me.

The goal is to find traces of the last remaining person.

But in the end, when he couldn’t find one person, his happy expression faded.

“I couldn’t find it. “I don’t know where he’s hiding.”

“It’s because he’s sensitive to signs. “He must have felt the presence and hid himself further.”

Those who were rescued quickly calculated the situation.

“I think we can conclude that they are well hidden, but how many did we catch in total?”

“To be exact, the benefactor caught it. There are 8 here, 5 were attracted to you two, 3 to you, and 1 to you. “Then are there three left?”

“It’s a bit dangerous with three… . “Just know that I really lived and died.”

“Yes, you had a hard time. “I’m sorry, benefactor, but did you find the monster?”

The eyes of the rescued people focused on me.

I shook my head and answered.

“There was no trace of the monster. “It would be fortunate if they moved to another place while looking for it, but it would be dangerous if they continued to be chased.”

“Ugh.”

A situation where even the monster’s location cannot be confirmed.

They talked back and forth and said:

“Thank you so much for your help. “We will find him.”

“Can you really do it in that condition? “I think it would be troublesome if I came across a monster while wandering around here.”

I probably couldn’t recover all my strength because I had to use up all the strength I had from breastfeeding.

Everyone was grumpy and in bad shape.

Even when I arrived, some people were already injured.

I would have recovered some of my stamina by resting here, but the time was too short and I would not have been able to get a proper rest because I had left all my baggage behind to survive.

“But since there are only three left, it will work out somehow. “Everyone can do it, right?”

“of course! “They ran away because there were 20 of us, and we could easily catch three of them.”

“Thank you for your help. And if you are blessed today, please contact us here and we will do our best to accommodate you!”

When I took what the man handed me and checked it, I saw that it looked like a business card.

“Hmm, wait a moment.”

After thinking for a moment, I stopped them from moving and rummaged through my bag.

“yes?”

“Eh? Oh, you don’t have to!”

My companions waved when they saw the items I was taking out of the bag.

“Well, I don’t think this is too much of a burden.”

They immediately took out the items they desperately needed.

These include nut bars that will restore your stamina appropriately and consumables that will increase your physical abilities, which may otherwise not be effective due to exhaustion.

“Wow, this is really interesting. “You can make it and eat it like this too.”

“Wouldn’t it be good to eat it when you’re weak?”

“thank you. “Benefactor!!”

“I think I’ll survive because I ate something.”

“I think I can do it now.”

I helped him this much, but I wonder if he can’t even take care of himself.

They must have thought that they too owed this much, so they obediently left the place and moved to find their remaining colleagues.

-You’re so needlessly polite.

When no one else was there, Damon flew over and sat on my shoulder and said,

It’s true that I saved their lives, but more than that, they probably couldn’t have treated me carelessly because of my skills.

Being strong in this world meant being able to enjoy everything.

“You gathered the monsters here.”

I haven’t gotten used to absorbing power yet.

So, I tried to collect them later and absorb them all at once, but fortunately, it seemed like they had gathered all the monster corpses and organized them neatly.

If you absorb all 8 here and the remaining 9 from a little distance away… .

‘Are you full?’

It seemed like a good experiment to see how much power I could absorb and digest at once.

-gulp!

Damon swallowed hard, as if he knew he was planning to absorb the monster’s vitality.

It’s ridiculous that even though it’s a spirit, it makes blatant swallowing noises.

“Would you like to have a taste?”

-It’s best eaten when you catch it. It’s been a while, but it’s probably not that bad. How many can I eat?

“Uh-huh, what are you talking about? “I will absorb your power first and then hand it to you separately.”

-what!! Where is that!?

“I’m here. Please know that I will continue to do this in the future except for the most important things. If you don’t like it, say it. “I can eat it all by myself.”

-Nope! too bad! How hard I helped!

It’s not like I’m starving, so there’s nothing to feel unfair about, right?

Ignoring the fact that I was pretending to cry, I diligently absorbed the power from the corpses of eight monsters.

‘Whoa…’ .’

The more you try it a few times, the more you get used to absorbing the power.

If I kept trying, the day might come when I could absorb power without contact like Damon did.
