Chapter 65
A Horrible Request
Translator: Masakibluei
It’s been a while since I dived to the 17th 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 <
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!
