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

Litty fights a Giant Heracles

“Ah! That’s the High Shroom!” (Litty)

“And the one next to it is Death Shroom, isn’t it?” (Roma)

In the middle of the forest, a mushroom-shaped monster, which looked like a large open umbrella, quietly approached them. Death Shroom moved slowly but spewed poisonous spores.

Litty made the first move and slashed at the Death Shroom. If the poison was so nasty, Litty thought, why not just kill it before it gets a chance to attack?

Death Shroom, which was lightly guarded, received a sharp cut, and was ripped apart roughly.

“Nice work, Litty. I’ve taken care of this one too.” (Roma)

“Roma-san, you are quick as well.” (Litty)

“It’s a Rank 5 monster, and Death Shroom is Rank 4, right?” (Roma)

“Yes. It’s a dangerous monster that approaches campers and sprays them with poisonous spores, but if you fight it head on, it is manageable.” (Litty)

The damage caused by Death Shroom was not insignificant. Plant types were one of the scariest monsters to face.

Even veterans could be caught off guard because they could assimilate into the forest landscape and move like assassins.

“What do we do? Death Shrooms were also posted as a request to subjugate, so we can get an additional reward if we hunt more of them.” (Roma)

“I would love to, but for now, let’s deliver the ingredients to that Cook-san.” (Litty)

The cook needed the ingredients tomorrow, so they had to deliver them by midnight today.

Orion’s request for horn collection also didn’t give them much time to relax.

“Oh! That’s it! This is it! Thank you! I didn’t think you could make it!” (Cook)

“That’s great. I’m sure your customers will be very happy.” (Litty)

“Well, well… we did our best…” (Roma)

The cook was pleased with the delivery, but something seemed off. He was supposed to be a professional cook, but for some reason, he seemed nervous to Litty.

“Um, is something wrong?” (Litty)

“No, actually, the special guest is… the woman I’m going to propose to. If she doesn’t like the surprise…”

“If you’re sincere, I’m sure she’ll understand.” (Litty)

“…That’s right. Just show her how much of a good cook you are.” (Roma)

These were the words of the not-so-professional Roma, but the Cook man seemed to have made up his mind. After seeing him off with the ingredients, Litty and her team quickly moved to their next request.

Roma was not interested in the word “marriage,” but she sympathized with the man who was serious about something. Just as Litty did at the moment.

***

Litty and Roma were looking around for some large Heracles. Heracles were beetle-like monsters. They could have hunted some smaller ones because their horns could be used as materials for armor and furniture, but they were basically ignoring them because of time constraints.

“It will be difficult to find one as large as Orion-san requested.” (Litty)

“Yeah. No wonder that lax hero-san gave up.” (Roma)

“He is only defeating monsters to make himself look good. That’s why he’s so messed up.” (Litty)

Litty was not one to speak ill of people, unless they were very bad people. However, she had a particular ill will towards Aldis.

“Let’s find a big tree. If it’s a really large tree, then maybe big Heracles will come to sip its sap.” (Litty)

Although Litty suggested looking for a big enough tree to attract a big Heracles, she was not willing to go too far into the depths of the forest. She knew that this area would be the limit, considering the time needed for the return trip.

Besides, Heracles in their ordinary states were not weak monsters. Unlike the Scarbs, they could fly through this forest in any direction.
