The Girl Who Is Said to Have No Talent, Turns Out to be a Talented Monster
Episode 14

Later that day, Litty and Roma were invited to the Branch Manager office of the Swordsman Guild.

They were currently sitting on the sofa located inside. Litty was thrilled with the softness of the sofa that almost made her scream, but given her surroundings, she held it in.

The branch manager once again bowed towards the two girls to apologize for the disaster caused by Rogai.

“That's all my fault. Forgive me.” (Branch manager)

“Ya, right. Please lift your head.” (Rome)

The Branch Manager of the Job Guild was a person of Rank 2 or higher, so it was understandable that Roma would feel uneasy after receiving the respect of such a person.

Litty wanted to say something, but was annoyed by the warmth of the tea served to her. The branch manager watched in worry as he blew on the tea and finally managed to take a sip.

“I don't expect a Ranked 6 rookie to defeat a Named Devil. Even if one were to flip through the history books of the Adventurer Guild, there would be no such incident.”

“Hmm... If I remember correctly, rank 6 beginners are forbidden to hunt demons, right? Will we be punished for it?” (Litty)

“Nothing to worry about. It's not that we want to stop people from doing it, but it's just to keep low-ranking adventurers from any danger.” (Branch manager)

“Oh so. I'm relieved..” (Litty)

The branch manager did not take his eyes off Litty, who was comforted and patted his chest. Rome was also aware of her curiosity towards Litty, which was only natural.

“By the way, Litty, you are from Ruiz Village right? Do you have a mentor? (Branch manager)

“Yes, I am from Ruiz Village. No, I don't have a mentor.” (Litty)

“Hmm, I understand.” (Branch manager)

Very few people dare to start as a Rank 6 beginner, even if they have a good background. It was only because the reward for the quest was too low and there was no benefit.

Of course, there were some freaks who joined the rookies and used them to increase their sense of superiority, but they were extremely rare. And if Litty was one of them, it could definitely explain a lot of things.

If he had no battle experience nor was he from this city, then how could he end up in this city?

He wanted to find out, but if he did not want to talk about it, then he could only let go. It could be said that he was talented, but could not explain the many questions answered.

To be honest, Litty still can't afford to talk about Aldis. The sad part of being cheated is the only thing that holds him back.

Although she learned from him, she did not want to call Aldis her mentor.

“Well, instead of talking about it, let's move on to the next topic. I promoted you two to Rank 5.”

“Eh?! After everything that happened in the exam?”

“You could say it was because of what happened. No, well, so. If I were to hand over the title of Rank 6 to someone capable of defeating Named Demons, then the Adventurer Guild would probably question my position as branch manager and even my ability to judge.”

“Do you really not exceed your authority as a branch manager to do so?”

“I understand Roma's doubts. Although I entrust the responsibility to Rogai for the inspection, I still have the authority to do whatever I deem necessary.”

To obtain a degree in one of the job guilds, applicants must acquire the basic skills of an adventurer. After acquiring the basic skills, they would take the examination, and if passed, they would be promoted to the 5th rank.

After which, the Adventurers Guild was responsible for the progress.

Each occupation guild was a sub-branch of the Adventurers Guild. In other words, the Adventurers Guild had higher authority.

It was no wonder that the branch manager was jokingly confused by the possibility of being summoned by the Adventurer Guild.

“For now, let's finish the formalities.” (Branch manager)

“Iya!” (Litty)

“...I will wait..” (Rome)

“Wait, Roma, I told you I promoted you too.” (Branch manager)

“But, I failed my final test to become a swordsman.” (Rome)

“Don't be too serious, defeating the Named Monster is much harder than passing the final exam against Caddock.” (Branch manager)

Feeling enlightened, Rome relented and decided to undergo the procedure. Although he was still troubled about it, this gave him more leverage to gain excuses against men.

It was then that Roma realized that Litty had something she did not have.

“Litty-san, can I talk to you later?”

“Ya, of course.”

After completing the formalities in the branch manager's office, they were about to exit the Swordsman Guild when they were greeted by a large group of people.

That included Toito, James, and many other instructors they had never met. Even the man at the reception desk was there.

“Congratulations. Let's take a look at the adventurers who left the nest today.”

“I wonder what will happen to the man who has exchanged blows with me on the first day, he has been here a long time. And I also feel sorry for Rogai-san.” (Litty).

“Your path is yours to choose from. You can continue as an adventurer. Or you can be a knight like me.”

Litty was speechless.

In the village, Litty is praised for trivial things, but she never achieves anything meaningful.

And then there's Yggdrasia. Let's not talk about them.

Now, he had finally achieved something important and there were so many people present here to praise and congratulate him.

Litty's face brightened at the thought of it, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

“Um, everyone. For people like me..” (Litty).

“You sometimes underestimate yourself. Being humble is good, but you should have a little confidence.” (Branch manager)

“Ya I will.” (Litty)

“Roma, you have a lot of potential. It would be better if you could try a different guild job, not just this one.” (Branch manager)

“Thank you for your valuable advice.” (Branch manager)

The tears in Litty's eyes almost fell due to the words of the shy and gentle Toito.

James's drive made Rome even more determined.

“Um, well, Daniel, who took the field exams with me earlier, has told me that some of the higher ranks require more than one title.”

“It's true. For example, a magical swordsman would require the title of Swordsman and Mage. However, there were not many guilds for higher level jobs. From then on, it will take a lot of time and effort to reach some of those places.”

“I understand..”

The expression “various job guild” caught Litty's attention as well.

There are still Heavy Warrior guilds in this city.

He had a hard time deciding which one to choose, but for now, he had other goals in mind.

“Now that you are a Rank 5 adventurer, you will officially be able to receive all sorts of tasks. I'm looking forward to seeing you in action.”

“Yes! I hope you all stay healthy!”

Although the time spent in the guild was short work, it was very memorable. Litty was truly grateful to those who acknowledged him and his abilities.

He carved out advice about having confidence in his heart and tried to change his mind accordingly.

After turning around to get out of the gate, she cried happily.

Litty and Roma sat in the restaurant, where the old couple welcomed them with open arms, let alone Litty bringing a friend.

Roma, who had been greeted with sandwiches, juices and desserts, were surprised by the warm welcome and could not hide the embarrassment.

“Um, you don't have to ..”

“Ah..”

He was once again shocked by the unexpected warmth as he ate.

Rome looked around the restaurant and was amazed that there was a place in the city that served such delicious food.

Not many customers. It doesn't even look like a popular place, which is a pity.

“Even the sandwich tastes very different. It will definitely bring in more customers.”

“I would really appreciate it if that's the case. More and more restaurants are serving cheap food. Times have changed.”

“The quality of food in such restaurants is acceptable for the price. However, restaurants that serve this kind of delicious food should also get the popularity they deserve.”

“I also hope to get more customers, but after Litty helps in the restaurant, it is not too important for us anymore.”

“Because Litty-san?”

Litty, who had finished all her sandwiches, was sipping her juice. With the sauce around her mouth, she looked like a neighbor girl.

Not long ago, Roma must have wondered how this girl changed the couple's life. But now, he was somewhat able to relate to them.

“If I can make a food that makes me satisfied and there are people who want to eat it, then it is more than enough to make me satisfied. Since the money we make is more than enough for our lives, then there is nothing more I can ask for.”

“Yes, yes, the days before Litty-chan came, we felt very depressed, you know.”

“I understand..”

Rome never had the chance to talk heart to heart with Litty, but this girl mentioned that her dream was to become an adventurer and live all kinds of exciting adventures.

At first, Roma thought Litty was the same as her because they were the same age, but she never expected their aspirations to be so different from each other.

“Litty-san, you only work hard just for adventure, right?”

“Yes that's right. That's all I ever dreamed of.”

“It's really all you want, huh?”

It seemed like he was not even aware of the idea of surpassing or defeating others.

Competition can be a great weapon to sharpen yourself, but sometimes it can also be a double-edged sword. A setback will occur when one of the competing parties realizes that they can never outperform the other party.

Rome's goal is to prove herself and make the man who once mocked her in her honor, which in turn, requires her to be the top of everyone and second to none.

When he was defeated by someone stronger than him, he began to descend the bottomless pit.

Instead, people like Litty are those who keep running forward and have a strong belief in their goals.

While there may be differences in their talents, Roma realize that it is not bad if he sees the situation from the point of view of a broad-minded person.

“Thank you for stopping me when I was about to attack Rogai on Mount Baruni. If I really did make that attack, I would play out the plan. (Rome)

“Roma-san is an amazing person.. I don't want you to forget your purpose, just because it is.” (Litty)

“What do you mean ‘great people’?” (Rome)

“I can't force myself to leave the house because my parents are against it, but Roma-san did. You did something I couldn't. Since the first day we met, I know that you are a person with a strong will and also a great woman.” (Litty)

“You really overestimated me when you said it like that.” (Rome)

“No, I will remain in that village if I never get the chance. That's where I failed compared to Roma-san.. ”(Litty).

Litty's unexpected praise left Rome at a loss for words. He thought that Litty did not have good feelings for him.

After all, it was natural for him to think so, as he had always regarded Litty as a person with great potential and someone on it.

Looking back on herself, she also realized the importance of what Litty showed her.

“From the beginning, I just followed the instructions of others and convinced myself that I should do what they asked, and realize that it is actually a weakness. I am very grateful to you, Roma-san.” (Litty)

“Ah, you don't have to thank me. I'm not doing anything specifically to help you. (Rome)

“Ya, right.” (Litty)

Despite his words, Roma contemplated his strength, which even he did not know he actually had.

If you look at it from a different point of view, it probably is.

Because of this strange conversation, Litty was silent. To eliminate awkwardness, Roma decided to change the subject.

“As the instructor said, now that we are both Rank 5 Adventurers, we can accept the task of hunting, but.. will you take the task of hunting, Litty-san?”

“Yes. But I'm more interested in Heavy Warrior’s Guild, so I thought about checking out the place as well.”

“That's a great way to go. Also the guild requires you to wear heavy armor, so I'm sure you.

He was about to say something, but stopped in the middle of the sentence. He was in no position to suggest anything to Litty.

Heavy Warrior, due to his nature, was not very suitable for women, but he decided not to say anything.

Moreover, it is not a job that women like because of its image as something heavy and big.

But for Litty, it might be a good choice, and it would be foolish to stop it.

“I will receive a request to hunt and collect achievements as quickly as possible and aim for 4th Rank.” (Rome)

“If I get promoted to Rank 4, I can do more adventures. Hmmm, I'm not sure what to do next! (Litty)

“By the way, Mount Baruni is a great location, but the Bikki Mine Ruins and Peatland could also be considered a great location to receive a 5th Rank request. Peatland, in particular, is connected to the capital, so it will be highly appreciated if you can hunt demons in the area.” (Rome)

“Heeh! Looks like I'll have to work hard then!” (Litty)

There was also the Demon Forest in the south, but it was still too early for the two of them to go there, thought Roma.

The more she listened, the more excited Litty became, realizing how lucky she was to be able to survive in the Demon Forest.

Supra and Yangra are Rank 5, and Salamander is Rank 4. Going deeper into the forest, there were demons that were much more dangerous and could even reach rank above 3.

“Litty-san, let's work hard to achieve higher rankings!”

“Ya, Roma-san, I will do my best.”

“You don't need to add ‘-san’ to my name. We are not much different in age, and more importantly, we.”.

“Kita?”

“No, don't mind, just call me Roma. I'll call you Litty too.”

With that, he politely thanked the old couple and left the restaurant.

As for Litty, he felt uncomfortable with the idea of calling her without a title of honor. After all, to Litty, she was a senior, older and more experienced than him, making him feel more respectful towards her.

But as long as Roma want him, he can't help but follow.

“Roma..”

He tried to say it out loud, but was still not used to it. When he was in the village, he was taught that it was better to treat strangers with respect to convey respect rather than malicious intent.

He understands that there is no need to do that with Roma. Assuming that it was all about getting used to, Litty decided to stop and rest.
