Chapter 49 (2/2)
– Adventurer's Life Day 50 (Mon) – Night – Comnes Inn – Nessos' Temptation
… This was the first ti the gloo about it, tells ht of it
After that incident, even though she had escaped to a town further up north froation in that direction, and so she had broken off from her brother who had stayed to take on the forces
It was through the inquisition's interrogation of the captives from their old territory had they been aware of her existence as a holder of 'Prudia's Blessing', and their pursuit for her was more relentless than that of her brother's
At that, she had to ns of the inquisitions, and escaped southwards… By the time she had reached Comnes, she had already hidden her name Yulia to athe horse…
After that… was things I already heard about
According to Benedetta, her late father was an extre, and as such she had to endure situation of the conspirators against Rendal's King
”Even if the house's recovery cannot be done, I would at least like to achieve in recoveringbut a dream for h, if they were to attack us right now… even with the two of us, I doubt we'll be able to do ainst theued by an innuious wars
Adventurers fro south, so it isn't simply just a ru, even now Rendal had been proactively fighting against the sect and the rebellious groups in partnershi+p with the current king
”… But, I don't think a ti like a prediction?”
”Yeah”
Well, this really is just wishful thinking on h power to cause trouble on various areas around the north, it doesn't look like they would have ht
Their actions are too radical, and they're bound to collapse because of that
Even so, there's nothing we could really do now…
I try racking s, but no soonerelse entirely…
(… Hain?… Ah, that's right)
”Hey? … You told me this story was 'difficult to tell', but why is that?”
Somehow… the tension in the roo that…
After a brief pause, Benedetta spoke with a somewhat lowered tone
”You really, haven't noticed it have you?”
”Eh… ? Noticed what?”
She pressed her hand onto her forehead… I' important I missed…
”Didn't you noticed people, and especially the feet close to you at all?”
”Eh… did that happen? Why was that?”
”… To put it simply, some adventurer's with an extreet people to do most of the work for them”
”Wouldn't people like that be called 'leechers'?”
”Nemo… so you did know of it?”
… Aah, so the terh…
It should function differently in this world, but I iame
I've often seen it in MMO's, where weak characters would party up with strong players and level quickly through that
It's usually done in reement, where the weaker player just want to skip past the early grind, so I never really thought about it too h this really is only for when the level difference is wide When both characters have a si where just one character would sit about doing nothing, while the other does all the work…
… I wonder, is it even fun to play the gaames, and it's often easy to spot when it is like that… but… I' it would be a littlealone, I would get persistent requests like, ‘can I join the party?'… and there are tis like, ‘it's not fair how only you get it yourself', to et to e of, you know?”
It doesn't seem like Benedetta had this sort of encounter with other adventurers only once or twice either… Hold on, if I wasn't able to recognise they were trying to leech off ofet it…”
“Merous situations like that this entire ti… Much appreciated
“But then, what does this have to do with being ‘difficult to say'?… Though I'm not sure if I just missed it”
“The difference of ability between me and you is really too wide I don't want to be seen as if I'm like the rest of those people who try to suck up to you, and focus on getting stronger first!”
It seemed like she was already aware of how lax I am when it co her out any time soon, but she didn't want to feel like she was just ‘leeching' off of h, I' with a lot of other people who have at least an above average level of self awareness
“Because of that, I didn't want to tell you since I wouldn't want you to be syet why the reward is split evenly between us…”
She didn't complain too uilt accu, and with the envious stares from other adventurers, she couldn't take it anyht
“The reason I have difficulty saying it was because of that The more I came to like you, the harder it beca the type of person who doesn't notice these sort of things… just s worse”
“I don't think… there was any mo it, if you were able to notice it then… no, never a little unreasonable here… but I won't say anything It was uild even talks tooff of you That just s… ahh, jeez!”
“Er, but… sorry”
It's the first time Benedetta acted like this, and it sees she had pented up until now… it's kinda hard to speak up
“Now then, with that all said, let's do a do-over with the reward ratio”
And so, changing the topic to so completely irrelevant to what I wanted to say, she asks to have her portion of the reward greatly reduced
“This should've been done froiven half of the reward is definitely not so normal”
“… then, how about 30?”
“That's still way too high!”
The negotiation continued on for a while She asked for so here about how the two of us are the only real people in the party, we settled for 20 in the end…
Weren't we just talking about her dark past a while ago… ?
