Chapter 81

Episode 81:

Ever since I told Mahol to bring the last blow.

Mahol interfered with Ahar to the extent that he showed his will to strictly keep his word, or more than that.

What I said was to bring the last hit.

Other than that, I never told him to do anything else.

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

When eating rice.

When going to solve menstrual problems, etc.

Every time he did something, I was on guard like a soldier watching over a criminal.

When eating, they ate from a distance, and if anyone tried to get close, they showed signs of fear and did not allow them to approach.

Ahar, who was reluctant to do so at first, seemed to be unable to bear it as it continued, so he often disappeared from his seat to relieve stress.

Mahol followed and monitored even that.

Since it had nothing to do with me, I completely turned off my nerves.

Perhaps because my indifferent attitude bothered him, he quietly followed me as I moved to resolve my menstrual problem.

“Can we talk for a moment?”

“….”

I closed my mouth at the murderous look in his eyes.

Why did he suddenly follow me?

No, the timing is more difficult than that.

“now?”

Grumble.

“….”

“….”

Me and Ahar were silent for a moment.

In the silence, the only sound was the sound of water flowing.

“…Wait.”

Ahar left the place.

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 could guess what he was thinking when he came to me.

It would have been easier for me to talk to him because I was calm compared to my companions who were very irritable.

And what he was seeing was that I had a seemingly useless talent called ‘acting’, so I must have seemed more formidable than anyone else.

“There’s no need to deal with him, but…”

In the end, we will end up killing each other.

No, it’s still the same now.

My honest feeling is that I want to kill him right now and feel at ease.

However, like Mahol, he doesn’t stop being on guard, so it’s a pity that there is no chance to do so.

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

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

I know for sure that if you kill me, you will get a certain reaction from my companions, but there is no way they will attack me.

“But where did you go?”

Even though I searched quite far, I couldn’t find Ahar.

If you remember I told you to wait, I can’t have gotten that far.

I looked for it for quite some time, but I couldn’t find it.

“You’ll find out when we get back.”

When you return to where your group is, it will come to you on its own.

So you don’t need to worry too much.

It would be better if it didn’t come.

Then you can quickly resolve the matter, get out of the mountains, and stop worrying about Ahar.

My expectations soon turned to dust and disappeared.

Behind the bonfire, Ahar was surrounded by the group.

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

Mahol was glaring at Ahar with an angry face and was full of life.

“…don’t approach me. “Because I’m going to kill you.”

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

“He’s someone who can’t even be compared to someone like you.”

“Such a useless bastard.”

“You are useless. “You’re so mean, chasing after someone else.”

“Bad quality.”

Following Beatrice, Reina glared at Ahar with eyes full of contempt.

Next to him, Ellis was showing anger that could not be hidden on her face that was disguised as calm.

‘What’s happening.’

The atmosphere was so bloody that it would not have been strange to swing a sword at any moment.

Normally, when the atmosphere gets that bad, it’s not strange for Ahar to swing his sword, but he was holding it in well.

It could be that he liked the talent so much, or it could also be that he didn’t have the confidence to make it through his own strength yet.

“There are degrees of ignoring me…”

But I think I just watched for too long.

Ahar’s patience, who was being harassed by four people, seemed to be slowly cracking.

As life was slowly blooming, I stopped watching and approached.

“what’s the matter?”

“ah. Ray… Red Mill.”

“it’s nothing.”

Mahol and Beatrice looked at me and quickly left the room.

Reina followed Mahol and Ellis approached her and asked if they were preparing a meal.

The bloody atmosphere disappeared in an instant, as if there had never been a fight from the beginning.

“Wasn’t that what you wanted to talk about?”

“…Tsk.”

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

I scratched my cheek as he turned his head and ignored me, as if to distract me.

***

It was from the first time we met.

Ahar didn’t like this guy called Red Mill.

The only talent he had was ‘acting’.

Although it showed a dazzlingly bright light, it was of absolutely no use to me.

I thought he was a worthless guy.

Isn’t that so?

Except for clowns and storytellers, there was no place where acting talent was needed.

There was no need for postponement, especially in the North, where you never know when you might die.

‘I wouldn’t accept talent like that even if I had to pay for it.’

It was a talent that was so unnecessary.

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

Isn’t that so?

The greatest talent I have is acting.

It was fortunate that he was able to swing a sword properly with such talent.

“I don’t know. “I really don’t know.”

I couldn’t understand.

Everyone who was with that piece of trash had great talent.

Even if you have just one talent, it’s enough to avoid doing a few things you want to do.

I even thought that maybe it would be enough just to acquire and hone that talent.

There were not one, but three people with such talent.

‘But what is that talent?’

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

It’s clear that it’s an incredible talent, as I feel strongly that I have to have it.

It was difficult to know what that talent was.

There were two ways for him to confirm talent.

The first is the size of light.

And how that talent affects you.

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

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

‘They are all monsters.’

If you look at it individually, you win.

Since I had the talents I gained against monsters, it was strange to lose.

“It’s creepy.”

I wasn’t confident that I could win against an assassin who knew how to hide his strength completely and a genius magician of the 5th circle.

There’s nothing you can’t do if you tell them to.

‘The woman next to me is annoying.’

I can’t tell what kind of talent it is, but it’s a talent so desirable that it gives me goosebumps just by being close to it.

That in itself requires caution and caution.

“Everything is good up to this point.”

It was definitely a great opportunity to join a team with such talents.

If you let your guard down at any time, all of that talent will become yours.

Even though the first impression was not good, I thought it would be better as time went by.

‘But what on earth is that guy…!’

That damn Red Mill, Red Mill… I heard it so often that it hurt my ears.

What is it about that guy that he takes care of it like that?

I couldn’t understand it at all.

There’s so much a person with the talent for ‘acting’ can do.

However, the emotions in their eyes were not that simple to attribute to loyalty or affection.

trust.

These were eyes that could only be seen when one fully believed in the person himself.

What on earth?

What’s wrong with this guy that makes him cheat like that?

“…sir.”

“…?”

Finding them was by chance.

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

Merina was talking to Red Mill.

At first, I tried to ignore it and pass it by, but the content contained therein was not simple.

“How long are you going to stay still?”

“I probably won’t go out until I get out of the North. But why is that?”

“You are not someone who can be ignored. And the master I know is not the kind of person who will sit still when ignored.”

“It’s not bad. Because there are people who will take care of the problem without you having to bother them. “You can easily overlook that level of disregard.”

young master?

What does it mean to not step forward?

“And don’t call me master in the North. Here I am Red Mill. “At any moment.”

“sorry. “I was short-thinking.”

Ahar’s brows narrowed.

The atmosphere and content were not light enough to be called a joke.

I’m serious.

No matter how I looked, I couldn’t see anything special other than the talent of ‘acting’.

Plus, the momentum he had wasn’t that great.

I’ve never seen anyone capable of deceiving one’s own eyes.

So, it turns out that he is as insignificant as I first thought.

I should have done that.

“uh…?”

What is that?

I saw another light that I couldn’t see because it was hidden by the bright light.

“crazy.”

The light, as bright as his acting talent, was sticking his head out as if it was finally recognizing him.

Why didn’t I recognize that?

I can’t believe I’m so distracted by the talent called ‘acting’ that I can’t see it.

“haha.”

It was the talent that I needed the most right now.

I was moving around because of that talent.

‘Talent in swordsmanship!’

The talent for magic and assassination is so overwhelmingly bright that it’s hard to see.

Ahar was mesmerized.

This was the first time I had ever seen a light this bright and a talent this intense.

“ha ha ha.”

I laughed.

Ahar felt a strange impulse take over his body and approached Red Mill.

okay. I finally understood it all.

Why are they surrounding the author?

Why do people with talent gather around him?

“Red Mill.”

“hmm… Is there a problem?”

I suddenly became curious.

What kind of expression is on his face that is hidden behind the mask?

Perhaps he was laughing at himself for failing to recognize his talent.

Wouldn’t it have been funny?

“You…”

I don’t feel bad.

In fact, I even thought it was natural that he had such talent.

Because talent was something that proved a person’s worth.

And Red Mill had the talent he needed most right now.

That was important.

“Were you hiding something like that?”

Swordsmanship talent.

He even went to Warrug County to get it, but was in vain.

The person with the talent for swordsmanship who appeared in such a situation was like a very desirable fruit.

“I didn’t know you.”

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

So, I need to bring that talent now.

Ahar showed an eerie smile at him.
