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

Roma came over to Litty’s side and held her hand, trying to bring down Litty’s temper. Aldis clicked his tongue for a moment in response to Roma, which made Litty uncomfortable.

“I wonder if it’s thanks to Aldis-san that that girl was able to become Rank 3.”

“Rank 3?!”

“That’s right.”

“I see. Then we’ll have to work hard too.”

“Hey, girl. I know how you feel, but it’s wise to hold back here. You know the situation, don’t you?”

Litty wanted to brush off Zhul’s earful, but her head cooled down a bit. She thought about it. Zhul was right, even if she did confront him, it wouldn’t change anything.

Besides, what was his purpose? Litty looked at Roma, gave a small nod, and went to the request board.

“Oh, wait. Here’s… here’s the request. We’ll take care of it.”

“Wha…!”

Aldis intervened and ripped off all the request posters. An ordinary adventurer would have been turned down at the reception desk if he did something like this. After all, there was no way he would be able to fulfill all the requests. But with Yggdrasia, the story was different.

“We’ll take care of hunting monsters that everyone else is having trouble with… You can follow us.”

Litty’s fists were shaking, and she was getting close to her limit.

Aldis gave Litty a small comment.

“You got to Rank 3 with your luck, but don’t get carried away, okay? Watch, this is the power of achievement.”

Litty turned to Aldis, who was in a good mood, with a glare.

Aldis finally remembered it was something about Litty that made him feel discomfort or threat from her many times.

It was also because of this that he intentionally made sure that Litty wouldn’t survive back then.

Looking at the situation, Baider also joined the conversation, “Aldis, she may be your apprentice, but she’s really cheeky, you know. We were having a hard time with her, as well.”

“Don’t worry. Now that I’m here, I won’t let her do anything she wants to do.”

“That’s a relief.”

Litty was inwardly annoyed, wondering why there were only such a bunch of jerks in the world. Litty’s answer to these people was simple.

“Roma-san, let’s go on an adventure.”

“What? Fine, let’s go.”

Litty and Roma simply walked out of the Adventurers’ Guild. Aldis wondered if he missed a request that they had already taken.

Not liking that, he crumpled the request paper in his hand.

“A, Aldis-san?

“Oops, sorry.”

Aldis’ anger simmered even as he unfolded the request sheet that someone had pointed out to him. The girl he thought was dead was alive and still rebelling against him just as he was about to establish his own personal paradise in the capital.

“Captain Baider, I want you to immediately notify the designated facilities. Also, we’re going to rent all the bedrooms in the Adventurers’ Guild here.”

“Understood.”

Aldis muttered to himself over and over again, his distorted nature growing more and more twisted in the face of a girl he couldn’t even remember the name of.

“Um…are you alone?”

A little further away from the Adventurers’ Guild, Kuufa found a shabby little girl. Judging by her appearance, she did not appear to have parents.

The girl raised her head at Kuufa’s call, but did not speak.

“Are you hungry?”

She nodded this time and munched absentmindedly as Kuufa handed her a simple snack for adventurers.

Relieved, Kuufa observed the girl and saw in her a reflection of her former self.

“Don’t you have a father and mother? Or a place called home?”

The girl finished eating, but still did not answer Kuufa’s question. Deciding that if things continued like this, she might steal from someone like herself, so Kuufa offered her a hand.

“Will you…hold my hand?”

Kuufa remembered Litty, though she did not know why she did so. The girl in front of her remained silent, but eventually reached out to her.

“You are free to accompany me.”

Kuufa did not know if this was the right thing to do to a girl whose identity was unknown. She simply did so naturally.

The girl, who had been treated badly by vicious adventurers and had never disobeyed them, gradually moved on.

A memory from when she was just a child came back to her. She remembered how she had once been treated as well.

“Hey, are you crying…?”

A single tear streamed down the girl’s grimy, muddy cheek. It was the moment when the girl regained herself, even if only slightly.
