Ever since I told Mahol to bring me the last shot.

No, more than that, Mahol interfered with Ahar to the extent that he seemed determined to strictly follow my words.

All I said was to bring the last hit.

Other than that, I’ve never been told to do anything else.

However, in addition to bringing the last blow, Mahol also harassed Ahar in other ways.

when eating rice.

When you go to solve a menstrual phenomenon, etc.

Like a soldier watching over a criminal, he guarded him whenever he did.

When they ate, they ate at a distance from each other, and if they tried to get close, they would kill themselves and prevent them from approaching.

Ahar, who at first thought so, would often disappear from his seat to relieve stress, as if it was unbearable because it continued.

Even then, Mahol followed and watched.

It had nothing to do with me, so I completely turned off my mind there.

As if my nonchalant attitude bothered me, I quietly followed me as I moved to solve my physiological phenomenon.

“Can we talk for a minute?”

“… .”

I shut my mouth at his murderous eyes.

Why did you suddenly follow me?

No, the timing is more difficult than that.

“now?”

Squeak.

“… .”

“… .”

Ahar and I were silent for a moment.

In the silence, only the sound of the water could be heard.

“… don’t wait.”

Ahar is out of place.

In my heart, I was worried about what would happen if Ahar attacked, but I was relieved.

Because you can’t swing a sword while urinating.

‘I think my patience has reached its limit.’

I expected what he was thinking when he came to me.

Compared to the party with a lot of thorns, it would have been easier for me to talk to them calmly.

And since the me he was looking at was a seemingly useless talent called ‘acting’, I must have looked more easygoing than anyone else.

“There is no need to deal with it, but… .”

It will be between death and death later.

No, that’s still the case.

My honest feeling is that I want to be comfortable by killing him even now.

However, like Mahol, he never stops being vigilant, so it’s a pity that there is no such opportunity.

‘I guess he’s just trying to complain.’

Other than that, there was no reason to follow me to talk.

I know for sure that if you kill me, you’ll see some kind of reaction from the party, but there’s no way you’ll attack me.

“But where did you go?”

Despite having searched quite far, Ahar was nowhere to be found.

If I remember telling you to wait, I couldn’t have gone that far.

I’ve been looking for it for quite some time, but I haven’t seen any nose plucking.

“You’ll know when you get back.”

When you return to the place where the group is, they will come to you on their own.

So don’t worry too much.

Rather, it is better if it does not come.

Then you can quickly get things done, get out of the mountains, and put aside your worries about Ahar.

My expectations soon turned to dust and disappeared.

Behind the campfire, Ahar was surrounded by the group.

The atmosphere was so brutal that I didn’t want to approach it.

Mahol was glaring at Ahar with an angry face and was purring to kill.

“… don’t come close Because I will kill you.”

“What kind of guy is he? Are you taking care of that much?”

“You can’t even compare to someone like you.”

“Such a worthless bastard.”

“You are useless. Running after someone meanly.”

“Low quality.”

Following Beatrice, Reina glared at Ahar with contempt.

Beside him, Ellis was showing anger that could not be hidden on a face disguised as complacency.

‘What’s happening.’

The atmosphere was so bloody that it wouldn’t be strange to swing a sword at any moment.

It’s not unusual for Ahar to swing his sword when the atmosphere deteriorates to that extent, but he managed to endure it.

It could be that he liked his talent that much, and it was also that he didn’t have the confidence to take it down with force yet.

“It’s okay to ignore me… .”

But it seems I’ve been watching for too long.

I could see Ahar’s patience slowly cracking as he was being bullied by the four of them.

I stopped watching and approached at the creeping life.

“what’s the matter?”

“ah. Lay… Mr. Red Mill.”

“it’s nothing.”

Mahol and Beatrice looked back at me and quickly left their seats.

Reyna followed Mahol, and Ellis approached and asked if he was preparing a meal.

The bloody atmosphere disappeared in an instant, as if they hadn’t fought in the first place.

“Isn’t that what you meant to talk about?”

“… Tsk.”

Ahar glared at me, clicked his tongue, and sat down by the campfire.

As if to turn his attention away from me, I turned my head and scratched the cheek at him who was ignoring me.

***

It was from the first time we met.

Ahar didn’t like the guy named Red Mill.

The talent was ‘acting’.

Although it showed a blindingly bright light, it was of no use to him.

I thought he was a no-nonsense guy.

Isn’t it?

There was no need for acting talent, except for clowns and story sellers.

Particularly in the North, where one could die at any moment, smoke was not necessary.

‘I won’t accept that kind of talent even if I ask for money.’

It was such an unnecessary talent.

And I thought that the person himself would be as useless as the talent.

Isn’t it?

The biggest talent you have is acting.

It was fortunate that he wielded a sword properly with such talent.

“I don’t know. I mean, I really don’t know.”

I couldn’t understand

All the people with that scumbag had great talent.

Even if you have only one talent, you don’t have to do a few things you want to do.

It was to the point where I thought that it would be enough just to acquire that talent and polish it.

There was not one person with such talent, but three.

‘By the way, what is that talent?’

I understand magic and assassination, but I’m not sure about the other.

It’s clear that he’s a great talent when you see how strongly he thinks he should have it.

It was hard to know what that talent was.

There were two ways he identified his talent.

The first is the size of the light.

And how that talent affects you.

I could tell by looking at the color and shape of the light, but I couldn’t figure out what that light was pointing to.

Normally, I would have killed it and checked it, but I couldn’t do that here.

‘All of them are monsters.’

Individually, you win.

With the talents he gained from fighting monsters, it was rather strange to lose.

“It’s kind of creepy.”

He didn’t have the confidence to win against an assassin who knew how to hide his momentum thoroughly and a genius wizard who was the 5th circle.

There’s nothing I can’t do if you tell me to do it.

‘The woman next to me is annoying.’

I don’t know what kind of talent it is, but it’s a coveted talent that makes me goosebumps just by being close to it.

That in and of itself should be vigilant and careful.

“Everything is good so far.”

Being able to join a team with such talent was definitely a great opportunity.

If you are vigilant at any time, all of that talent will be yours.

Although the first impression was not good, I thought that it would be fine if I showed a good appearance over time.

‘But what the hell is that guy… !’

That bastard’s Red Mill, Red Mill… It was almost deafening to hear it so often.

Why is that guy taking care of him like that?

I couldn’t understand it at all.

How many things can a guy with the talent of ‘acting’ do?

However, the emotions in their eyes were not so simple to see it as loyalty or affection.

trust.

These were the eyes you could only see when you fully believed in the person himself.

What the hell.

What’s wrong with him, why is he so cheap?

“… sir.”

“… ?”

Discovering them was accidental.

It was time to return to the party after finishing hunting.

Merina was talking to Red Mill.

At first, I tried to ignore it and pass it by, but the contents inside were not simple.

“How long are you going to stay still?”

“Probably, I won’t go out until I get out of the North. But why?”

“You are never going to be ignored. And the young master I know is not one to stand still when ignored.”

“Not bad. There are people who will take care of it without bothering you. It’s about that level of ignorance, so I can easily overlook it.”

young master?

What do you mean by not going out?

“And in the North, don’t call me youngster. Here I am Red Mill. at any moment.”

“sorry. I was short-tempered.”

Ahar’s eyebrows narrowed.

To say it was a joke, the atmosphere and content were not light.

It’s a joke.

No matter how I looked at it, I didn’t see anything special except for the talent of ‘acting’.

The momentum he had there wasn’t that great either.

I have never seen a person capable of fooling his own eyes.

So, like I first thought, he’s an insignificant guy.

I should have.

“uh… ?”

what is that

I saw another light that I hadn’t been able to see because it was hidden by the bright light.

“crazy.”

The light, as bright as the talent of ‘acting’, was sticking out its head as if it were finally recognizing itself.

how come i didn’t know that

To be blinded by the talent of ‘acting’ and not be able to see it.

“hahahaha.”

It was a talent that I could say I needed the most.

I went all over the place because of that talent.

‘Swordsmanship talent!’

The talent for magic and assassination boasts an overwhelming brightness that is blinding.

Ahar was stunned.

I had never seen such a bright light, such intense talent.

“ha ha ha.”

A laugh came out.

Ahar felt a strange impulse settle in his body and approached Red Mill.

yes. I finally understood everything.

Why do they surround the author?

Why do those who have the talent to him gather?

“Red Mill.”

“Well… what’s going on?”

I suddenly became curious.

What kind of expression is his face, hidden behind a mask, making?

Maybe he was laughing at himself for not recognizing his talent and showing off.

Wouldn’t it be funny?

“you… .”

I don’t feel bad.

Rather, since I have such talent, I even thought it was natural.

Because talent was to prove that person’s worth.

And Red Mill had the talent he needed most.

that was important

“Were you hiding something like that?”

Swordsmanship talent.

In order to get it, he went to the Countess of Warrug, but in vain.

In such a situation, the owner of a talent for swordsmanship was like a very coveted fruit.

“I didn’t know you.”

Yes, it’s my own fault for not knowing that talent.

So, I have to bring that talent.

Ahar gave him an eerie grin.
