A Horrible Request

Translator: Masakibluei

It’s been a while since I dived to the 17^th floor, and currently, I still haven’t found any fighting style that is suitable for me. First of all, having not even a single of fighting art is terrible for an adventurer.  Therefore, day by day, in order to kill time, I start to practice <<Knock Out>>. Today’s practice is already over. After I wash my sweat and take a bath, I sit in the living room when suddenly a voice coming from behind.

 

Erin: “Note, can I have your time for a moment? I want to ask for your help……”

 

The voice belongs to Erin. When I turn around to look at her, her expression looks really bad and she looks downcast. Nevertheless, she still tries to make eye contact with me as much as possible.

What’s with her downcast facial expression……? It really makes me anxious……

I feel like I don’t want to listen to her request……

 

Note: “Help?”

 

Even though I have a bad feeling and I want to run away, Erin looks pitiful so I can’t walk away from her. Thus, I listen to her request.

 

Erin: “At the moment, you are trained by Reese of the Valkyrie about art technique, right?”

Note: “Well, yeah……”

Erin: “Then, it should be fine.  I also want to be trained about spells by a member of the Valkyrie. The spells that I know are not that much……so I need to learn as much as possible……”

 

Suddenly I remember Erin’s confession about her past.

She told me that after she quitted school and joined the Arriver, she stops being diligent in learning magic. At this point, I start to feel obliged to help her. Erin’s request may be the first step that she takes in order to face her past and to change around.

Her change makes me happy. If there is anything that I can do for her, I want to help as much as I can. Maybe she keeps diverting her eyes from me because she feels embarrassed to ask. That must be it.

 

Erin: “Then Note, can you talk to the sorcerer of the Valkyrie on behalf of me? It should be fine if you ask Reese as the mediator. Actually, I don’t have a good relationship with that person……”

 

I see. So, this is the problem.

In conclusion, she wants me to be the one who asks that sorcerer of the Valkyrie. This should be an easy task.

 

Note: “Alright. Calm down. You look so depressed, so I thought that your request was heavier.”

Erin: “That’s true……If Note is the one who asks, then she will definitely accept the request……”

Note: “Leave it to me.”

 

I raise my thumb up to assure her. However, for an unknown reason, Erin looks really anxious when she sees me looking so confident. At this point, I still think that this is an easy request to fulfill, but her uneasy expression becomes a weight in my mind. There is something suspicious about this. Therefore, it’s better for me to check it out first.

 

Note: “Just in case, can I ask you a question? Is there something that you keep from me?”

Erin jolts when I ask her this question. From her reaction, the answer is pretty clear. It seems that my first hunch was right after all.

 

Note: “I want you to be honest with me……No matter what I am still going to accept your request……”

Erin: “You have to abide by your promise, ok……The sorcerer that I want to learn from is…that person.”

Note: “Who?”

 

In the middle of our conversation, I come to realize who is the sorcerer that Erin wants to learn from. Is it that lunatic leader of the Valkyrie that Reese told me about? Erin wants to learn spells from her? Reese told me that she came from a famous family with magician lineage.  It’s pretty rare for a party to have more than one person with the same roles or profession. Therefore, the possibility that this person is the one that Erin wants to learn from is pretty high.

 

Note: “By any chance, is the Valkyrie leader is the person that Erin wants to be taught by?”

Erin: “Th, that’s right!”

 

Finally, the sense of discomfort disappears.

Does she feel guilty to send a man like me to ask the man hating sorcerer on behalf of her? But if this is what she is worried about, there is nothing to worry about. If I ask Reese to help me, then I won’t be directly involved with her.

 

Note: “Although I don’t hear any good rumor about her, you don’t have to worry that much. I want to ask Reese to be the one who negotiates with her. It should be no problem. Erin won’t be affected by her past grudge because Erin is a girl……”

 

As I see Erin’s obvious dark expression, the words that I want to say become stuck to my throat. A little cold sweat falls down from her cheek.

 

Force: “Oi, oi, Note. Don’t you know about it?”

 

It seems that Force has been listening to our conversation. Force comes into the living room and cuts into the middle of the conversation. For some reason, he looks amused by what he has heard.

 

Force: “This fellow used to fight with that Leader in the past. In order to determine who is the best sorcerer in this town, she challenged that Leader who was famous at the time for a match.”

Note: “So there was such a thing happened……Then what about the result?”

Force: “It was this fellow’s overwhelming victory. Mainly due to her abnormal skill. Despite her lack of experience, she viciously beat down that leader with her skill. Well, as a result, that leader’s pride was shred to pieces. Lastly, she said some nasty words too: “Not only that you lose to me who is practically 10 years younger than you, as a woman you are already expired. You are truly pathetic. “Even I was feeling sympathetic with that leader.”

 

I turn my eyes on Erin. I look at her awkwardly.

 

Erin: “That was me in the past………It was my rebellious phase……I totally regret it.”

 

Oi, Erin. What had you done? It was savage!

In addition, you were trying to thrust me into that minefield……

I think her evilness has not changed that much since then………

 

Note: “Can you ask someone else to teach you spell? Even though I promise you before, this responsibility is too heavy for me.”

Erin: “Tha, that’s why I verified your response first! Moreover, Note has guaranteed that you will do it……”

 

That is true, but! I did promise her, but! This is a trap!! It’s a horrible request! Several times worse than my previous wild guesses!!

Then I remember that Reese likes to call Erin as Bratty Girl. From her nickname, I can imagine the feud between Erin and that leader of the Valkyrie……

 

So, there is a reason behind it!

It’s impossible! No one can guess it!

 

It can’t be helped. If this is the situation, she must be desperate. I have to accept her request as a man!
