Monsters in this world have a low probability of giving birth to special individuals. Unique, special, subspecies, whatever you call it. However, they are born with some kind of characteristic. You donât know what kind of abilities they have until you fight them, but in fact, you often donât even notice them.
For example, if there is a goblin with complete magic resistance, it cannot be killed by any kind of magic, but otherwise it is just a goblin. In other words, if you cut or hit him, he will die. Even if you do it poorly, it will fall and die.
Even if they are skilled with swords and bows, they can be defeated by new adventurers with only a club as a weapon.
Even the most troublesome ability is useless if you donât know you have it.
Conversely, if they are aware of their own abilities and have the intelligence to use them, they can be quite troublesome.
It is possible that the monsters I killed today were such special individuals. There was an extremely fast goblin on the way.
âŠIâm thinking those are what we humans call skills or blessing gifts given to monsters.
It would be fair if the church asked about this.
I donât think God or anyone else cares about such details as being human or monster.
Just as humans have heroes, saints, and people with skills, those guys probably have such beings as well.
âThank you for the mealâ
After eating, close the lid of the lunch box and put my hands together. The lunch box that Ariamel made for me was quite delicious. Sometimes itâs nice to eat while sitting on the grass. Maybe next time Iâll go on a picnic with the kids.
Ariamel can do all the household chores and can read and write⊠Well, sheâs got a pretty face too⊠Iâm sure she will be popular when she goes out in the worldâŠwhat if she brings a boyfriend in the future?
Maybe I should practice patience or somethingâŠ.
After getting up and stretching in the warm sunshine, I returned to town.
When I entered the Adventurersâ Guild, the place was filled with the usual hustle and bustle, unlike in the morning. I couldnât see Sasha, so she was probably taking a break.
I knew she would not like it, but when I got in line for Melinda, she gave me a look of disapproval.
When it was my turn and I properly submitted the part I had killed on the counter, she was incredibly relieved. I donât usually submit a headâŠ.
âIs âThe War Maidenâ Back Already?â
âYes, I think theyâre up there right now talking about something with the seniors and Guild mash~. Ah, are you also interested, Gray-san? The âWar Maidensâ are all beautiful women, you know.â
âItâs not like that.â
Do not abbreviate Gilmas, he is your boss for the time being.
âAgain~â
What is this annoyance?
I was going to ask them about the house, but Iâll save that for another day, theyâre probably tired.
Itâs annoying (for the second time).
âHey, arenât you going to wait for them? I think theyâre already on their way down.â
âI donât mindâ
I received my reward and left the Adventurersâ Guild. I had just returned, so there would be no immediate expedition again, so I could ask at the Adventurersâ Guild another day.
What was I thinking at the timeâŠ
When I got home and told Ariamel that the lunch was delicious, she looked happy.
âGood, Iâll prepare it again tomorrow.â
She said, I have to say thank you properly.
That night, while everyone is eating dinner, taking a bath, and going to bed, Iska and the others are playing cards, and there is a knock on the door.
Who is it at this timeâŠ
âHey, what time is it nowâŠâ
I opened the door and checked outside to see two women standing there. One was a swordsman with long straight blond hair and blue eyes, the other a healer with wavy silver blonde hair and jade eyes.
Emilia, the leader of the party âWar Maidenâ and Kasha, the sub-leader, two of my former party members.
I wondered what on earth she was doing there⊠and then Emilia opened her mouth.
âItâs been a long time, Gray. I have a lot to say but first Melinda tells me that you were on the first floor of the guild while we were upstairs debriefingâŠ..isnât that a little cold? You heard we were coming down in a few minutes and you just left.â
Melindaâs superfluous!
âWell, anyway, if we talk outside like this, weâll stand out, so can you let us in the house?â
When Kasha said that, a voice called out from behind.
âGray-san, is there a guest? Would you like some tea?â
