A Girl Who Was Told “You Have No Talent” Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster

Litty agreed with Charl.
If he really was just a big tall guy, he wouldn’t have made it to Rank 1.
Litty guessed that he had to go through a lot of hardship.

 

Litty noticed that Jennifer was holding Kuufa’s hand and pondering something.

 

“Hmmm, I don’t think she’s the right girl for this.” (Jennifer)

 

“Right? She’s so nervous when she goes on (dancing) stage that she’s useless.” (Aquaria)

 

“She may overcome her nervousness, but I don’t think she’s the type of person who can handle the stage.” (Jennifer)

 

“Well, what about me?”

 

Jennifer and Aquaria were starting a debate without Kuufa’s consent.
Charl, who had come up behind them, grinned, and Caron gave him a look of disdain.

 

“Oh, don’t mind me.”

 

“Come on, let’s get some sleep today.
Charl will be the one to keep watch for first half, right?”

 

“Yeah, I guess so.
Litty and Kuufa can rest easy, too.”

 

“Are you sure about that?”

 

“Where in the world is there a Rank 1 who takes advantage of his juniors? Don’t worry about it.”

 

Charl’s words were delivered so lightly that Litty was about to mention Yggdrasia.

 

Even if it was no big deal, the atmosphere changed as soon as he held his halberd in his hand.

 

“…That guy is amazing.”

 

“That’s right.
I’d rather say that his strength is his only merit.”

 

“That and the fact that he doesn’t spend a lot of money playing with women.”

 

Litty didn’t know what his other merits were, but he still reminded her slightly of Aldis.

 

And then there were the Branch Managers of the Heavy Warrior Guild, Dimos, and the instructors during the Skarb raid.

 

She envisioned what she would be like one day when she became a great adventurer and could proudly show off her skills to her juniors.

“Caron, how’s the situation?”

 

“Maybe a little further.”

 

A few days later, they finally reached the bandits’ sphere of influence.
At the entrance to the mountain, Caron performed magic sensing and confirmed the presence of surrounding life forms…

 

She was an excellent wizard, but magic sensing required a different talent.
Caron could recognize, within a certain range, the magical power that creatures, large and small, possessed.

 

“I’m sorry, Caron.”

 

“It’s my job.
Why are you apologizing?”

 

“I know how hard it is.
I’m counting on you, but please don’t push yourself too hard.”

 

“As Daido said before, I only have magic to offer.
I’m just doing what I can.”

 

After working with them for a few days, Litty realized that both Daido and Caron underestimate themselves.

 

If they were right, they were not geniuses or anything.
Still, they were strong, and Litty knew firsthand what it meant to be in their position.

 

In fact, Litty and Kuufa had little to do in defeating monsters along the way.

 

“And I’m just dancing for fun, you know?”

 

“You’re a big help, Jennifer.”

 

“I wouldn’t have fallen into exile if it weren’t for Charl.”

 

“What? Explain.”

 

“Aquaria, I think it’s time you guys start getting ready.”

 

It was obvious that Charl said that to break off an unpleasant conversation, but there was no mistaking his words.
They were already in the bandit’s sphere of influence, and they should not let their guard down.

 

In particular, the head of the group, a mercenary-like man, had defeated several adventurers of Rank 3 or lower.
He was such a skilled man that he had often made a name for himself in conflict zones.

 

There was no way to comprehend how he had fallen into the banditry, but Red Flag’s job was the same as ever.

 

“Magic power detected, confirmed! The number of people is just as we have been informed!”

 

“Well, let’s do this.
You two can do as you please, Litty and Kuufa.”

 

“…Yes!”

 

It was Charl’s intention to follow through, no matter how they moved.
Litty knew that this was not a statement out of pride.

 

She concentrated, removing from her mind the fact that she was dealing with humans.
She was following the advice of her seniors, who told her to do that, or else she would die.

 

“A, Aquaria…”

 

“I’m here, right? Do your best.”

 

Kuufa was less certain, but Aquaria told her that she could do whatever she wanted with the power of the high-ranking spirit of water.
