The Girl Who Is Said to Have No Talent, Turns Out to be a Talented Monster
Episode 3
The girl had been asleep all night. After leaving the cave where he was sleeping, he had no choice but to check for demonic signs.
If he felt in danger, he would move from place to place and wait for the morning.
He was full of vigilance all night, and now his consciousness was at its limit.
Towards sunrise, the girl stood at the mouth of the forest, a meeting point, waiting for Aldis and his entourage.
He wanted to sleep, but it was impolite to be in such a state when they arrived. The girl strengthened herself and waited patiently.
“They didn't come... why?”
Even when an hour passed, he did not think much and waited.
Only after two hours did dark clouds cover the girl's heart.
For some reason, they didn't show up. Maybe there's something I need to do first.
He had expected such a comfortable result, but he finally got the worst answer.
“Leaved? But I survived? Why?”
His body trembled, and his eyes burned in a hurry. No matter what he did to her, Aldis would always be a hero in her eyes.
Aldis tested it in his eyes.
The girl said that to herself, and endured all this time until now.
But in this situation, no matter how positive the spirit of the girl was, she would reach her limit.
“It's no use because I don't have talent…. But then they shouldn't make this kind of promise…. I think I was just made fun of by that guy.”.
He had been living with the Hero troupe in such an environment where everyone with sane minds would probably escape within a day or so.
During that time, he believed that the situation would improve if he remained dedicated and worked hard to improve himself.
If all of this was just a joke to Hero, then the daily treatment he suffered was nothing more than harassment. It was not difficult for him to accept this, but it did not lessen his frustration and anger.
The girl clenched her fists and hit the tree with all her might.
“Ugh, dammit!”
Is he stupid for believing? But the girl held back her tears that were about to spill.
It is easy to despair. Even if he was destroyed here, no one would help him.
If he was an adventurer, there would be times like this. The girl pondered her father's words in her mind.
He could imagine the face of his parents, who were strongly against him, but in the end told him to leave with good intentions.
“...Alright!”
Above all, depending on how he thought about it, even last week would be considered a waste of time.
The girl looked up and saw the blue sky. This world was as big as this blue sky. When he realized this, he decided.
“I will not give up. My dream is not that simple. That'sthat's all. OKAY!”
He braced himself for a change of heart.
If he remained depressed here, he would feel sorry for his parents, who told him to leave willingly.
The girl changed her mind and focused on her next goal. First, he decided to go to the city.
However, it would be dangerous for him to walk around without a proper purpose.
His body was already nearing its limit, but this was no time for whining.
He traced his memories and recalled the location of the last city they had visited while he was with Aldis and the others. It was about two days from where he was.
There should be a water source and a comfortable place to rest along the way, he thought. Struggling against her fatigue, the girl begins her journey.
“Oh, that's it! City!”
The girl screamed in excitement as she looked at the city.
He passed through the gate and the view of the bustling city seemed to break the thread. He fell to his knees and slumped to the ground.
Although he could defeat demons, he no longer had his stone blade. In other words, he could not dismantle it, so his food was just water.
The girl praised herself for having made it this far despite her physical strength being on the verge of breaking.
But then he realized something. He realized that just because he had arrived in the city, did not mean that everything would be fine. He has no money.
All the money and travel supplies his parents gave him had been confiscated by Aldis.
His immediate problem was a place of rest and food, but in order to obtain it, he needed money.
The girl knew exactly how to get the money. If he doesn't work, he won't be paid.
Even in the village, children help adults. From babysitting to farm work, some kids even help from morning to night.
The girl was no exception.
“Excuse me! Please give me a chance to work!”
“Oh? Wait a minute.”
The girl visited a restaurant. He remembers eating there with Aldis and his group before.
However, as usual, the girl should not order, and the food is leftovers.
The owner seemed to remember it and rushed up to him.
“You, I remember you. As I recall, you were with Aldis...san and the others, right? You look messy.”.
“We are separated now, I have no money..I will do anything..”.
“First, you need to shower. After all, you may already be too tired.”
“...OK. Once you have finished your shower, you can replace it with this. Hi!”
The owner called his wife, who took him to the back of the house. Since the store was fused with his house, it didn't take long for him to bathe.
The girl almost fell asleep involuntarily after rubbing the dirt for the first time in a long time.
However, the girl reminded herself that she should not be negligent here.
He had to earn money and raise his spirits before going to the Adventurers Guild.
He had not even taken the first step towards his dream.
“Have you changed your clothes? It's late in the afternoon, so there won't be many customers. Can you wash dishes?”
“Ya!”
“Good, then please do!”
From then until night, when the crowd was crowded, the girl worked tirelessly. He was used to this kind of task.
If he were slower, his work would be out of his hands. The girl was efficient, and if there were too many customers, she would happily carry their things.
The couple and the customer were all in a good mood, as if his energy had been passed on to everyone in the store.
“You work hard! Are you new here?”
“Yes! Oh, you're out of water! I'll give you more!”
“Oh thank you.”
Later, he was reminded that in Yggdrasia, the slightest mistake would be met with a kick in the back.
The whole place is taken with consideration of who wants what. The girl could see clearly.
With the instantaneous strength he had developed further in the Demon Forest, he immediately went into the hall. The girl made everything more efficient.
“You must be hungry, little girl. Uncle will buy you a drink.”
“Eh! No, not at all.”
“Do not be shy. I can see that you are pushing yourself too much.
“Hey, Pop! Can I talk to them for a minute?”
“Yes, no problem. I was just about to ask you to join them.”
The beef soup that the guests brought for her was delicious.
He also prepared food for Yggdrasia on the field, but nothing could compare to this.
When the restaurant was about to close and all the customers were gone, everyone in the restaurant finally sat down.
“Thank you for saving today. Thanks to you, little girl, for the first time in a long time I feel like re-experiencing the first days of restaurant opening.”
“The first day you open?”
“At my age, we don't get as many customers as we used to. I was thinking of closing. But thanks to you, I have decided to keep working a little longer.”
“I'm happy to help!”
The owner sat at the counter and his wife brought him a cup of tea. The girl, asked by her owner, took a sip from the cup, which felt hot to the touch.
The owner chuckled at the girl who blew it.
“It's my fault the food in the restaurant is in bad shape. However, the way they threw the plate at me and asked for free food. I was disappointed because it was really the party of the hero they were talking about.”.
“I'm sorry. I don't know what to do then.”
“Oh no. It wasn't your fault. I know you don't feel comfortable. You intern?
“Yes, but I was fired because they said I wasn't talented enough.”
“I understand..”
Actually the girl was lied to and abandoned, but never said it.
While some parts of him were angry, it was true that they gave him the opportunity to get out of the village.
He is treated badly, but if he travels without knowing what is right or wrong, who knows what will happen.
In that case, he thanked Yggdrasia.
The girl is very optimistic.
“Um, the food here is not bad. It's very tasty.”
“I appreciate you saying it. By the way, it's today's salary.”
“Oh, this much ?!”
“Yeah, this uncle has not felt so energetic for a long time.”
That is enough to cancel today's earnings. He tried to reject her, as expected, but the owner insisted.
He gently placed the leather bag containing coins in the girl's hand.
“I'm happy.. You did this for me..”.
“You don't even have a place to stay, do you? If you want to stay in the city, I'll let you stay here. What's your name?”
The shopkeeper had barely known the girl since she arrived. However, he immediately hired her without asking her name.
The girl's appearance was very pitiful.
“I Litty.”
The girl mentioned her name, which even Aldis had never asked her, for the first time since coming out of the village.
