To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 9: Nina the Seaf ③

Usually, it's time we're collecting herbs, but from today on, we're hunting goblins.

The gear has long swords and leather armor leather boots taken from The Hague.

Equipment in this world is handy, and the magic hangs when it comes to protective equipment that varies to some extent in size to suit the wearer.

Even when it comes to goblin hunting, you just throw stones at the goblins you find from a distance.

Occasionally I use a sword when I bowl it together, but because I have the skill 'Swordsmanship LV1', I kill it without any problems. Collect Demon Ball Shards from the defeated Goblin.

This shard, called the Demon Ball, was previously recovered by The Hage. By using this shard, they can use a tool that moves with magic called 'Demonic Props'. Something like electricity or gas, I guess.

Oh, complete demon balls!

From one of the goblins I just defeated, a beautiful beaded demon ball emerged.

Naturally, this one is more valuable. As for Goblin's ears, I can't take the quest. I'm totally through.

Do you practice magic again?

"Fireball"

"Ggah!?

When you release your words with magic, the fireballs of fist magnitude fly through the goblins.

Goblins, who hit him directly in the face, are falling to the ground and rolling around.

You have low ability to kill. If the magic increases, so does the power?

"Heels"

Hang healing magic on falling goblins. Gradually, the burns disappear, but you fire them before they fully heal.

For once, because you saw it, you can use magic without a problem.

Now I try to say the words in my head (...). Just like earlier, the fireball was activated.

Hmm, you activated without a problem...... the activation time doesn't change, but this one works better for highly intelligent demons and humans (...) because they can't find out the magic they use.

Next time, try to use magic while fighting.

"Gih!"

Take the Goblin attack, which has been beaten with a spike, with a sword instead of a flash, and try to use magic in the attack, but it does not activate well. I think it is due to the lack of concentration and magic.

I try a few times but it doesn't work, so I snap the neck of the goblin.

"Gahhhh."

This is pretty tough...

"Why are you so strong?

All of a sudden, he called out and stood up. It was... Nina there.

"Hey, why is Yu so strong? He used magic, and he used his sword properly."

It was about three meters at a distance. Despite how much in the mountains, Yu couldn't hide his surprise that he didn't notice at all because he didn't neglect to be alert because he didn't know when to bowl in with the goblins.

Was this guy this close? You did have the skill of 'lurking', so you were following me with that? And then why did you call down your name?

Treat Nina without hiding any discomfort.

"You... how long have you been here? And you forgot what I said yesterday?

"I've been watching you for about an hour now, haven't I? And I'm sorry about yesterday, I was wrong about Stella on my own..."

You didn't notice for an hour!?

"And then I asked Stella to apologize and forgive me."

"You met Grandma Stella? Even if Grandma Stella forgives you, I'm not forgiving you."

"Yeah, but I'm not giving up because I decided to be Yu's friend, am I?

"Friends...... with me? Haha......"

Yu stares at Nina with her black, cloudy eyes. I've been watching their reactions with this eye before. There were various reactions from those who looked down or behaved in pity and intimidation. Except Stella...

Only Stella (...) has treated Yu with the same eyes as usual.

It was also one of the reasons Yu opened his heart only to Stella.

"What.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Yu had a plundering voice, and it was best said so.

Nina, stared at by Yu, smiled (...).

If you noticed, Yu had escaped the scene.

Weird guy! Weird guy!! Weird guy!!!

"You're right, Stella. I ran away..."

Nina remembers her conversation with Stella.

I made sure Yu left the house, so I tried to apologize to Stella first.

"Well, well, I can't believe Yu had such cute friends"

"Chi... it's not. I... ugh."

Stella waited until she calmed down to Nina, who wept and mumbled.

From his interactions with Yu and his unsolicited assumptions, he speaks ill of Stella and tells him that he pissed him off and apologizes.

"Yes, it was."

Stella smiled Nico. She looked so sweet, and Nina was embarrassed to say that it was her mistake again.

"Yu is not being honest. Nina, if you want to be friends with Yu, you can't give up. I'll tell you what's good."

As Stella said, Yu has been peeking into her eyes. At that time, if you are 'smiling' without turning a blind eye, Yu must be upset and run away. Still taught me not to give up. Finally, Stella said:

"Yu is familiar and basic, and I don't trust anyone. But once you forgive me, it's gonna be so sweet. Good luck Nina!

(Makes you so sweet?

I didn't know just that part, but Nina swore she wouldn't give up next time (...).

Yu tried to ask Stella about Nina that day, but in the end she couldn't.

Stella was buying me the tools I was asking for, so now I can work on making a bath, but I slept stuffy that day.

Neither did Yu think then that the hiding place with Nina would continue from that day on.

Nina is still following Yu the next day, and naturally Yu will try to escape, but when she finds out, she will be there again. That kind of interaction lasts about two weeks, and when you have Yu, you check Nina's status.

He's got more skills!? It makes sense to lose sight of it day after day.

Nina was also slightly more skilled and agile in "Sneaky Foot LV1" and "Hidden LV1".

By this time, there were times when I hardly noticed Nina's tail for a day.

Exactly this kind of day after day, when I'm tailed, I can't practice "sword moves," "magic," "fighting." I could never find out, especially when it comes to 'robbery'.

"Hey...... come on"

"Did you feel like being friends with me?

Scattered, stalked, Yu was a little irritated by this saying but put up with it.

"Being friends with you, you got something to gain?

"I do. First of all, Yu can't take a quest in the guild, can he? I knock down goblins every day, but I can make quite a bit of money just from that quest, and with me in the sheaf, I can go to a cave in the mountains.

If Yu is defeating Goblin to raise the level and make money, the cave will make more experience and money. "

This guy... is he surprisingly smart if he thinks he's just a cowgirl? I do appreciate you getting paid for your quest, and the demons around here don't have much skill... maybe a cave can take your new skill.

"Okay. I'll throw you a party. But I don't trust you at all, so you know what happens when you act funny."

"It's not a party. I'm a friend... and I want you to take responsibility for what you did to me before you got married."

"Hum."

"Terrible!?
