A Girl Who Was Told "You Have No Talent" Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - Chapter 160.1
Ex-Piece Watches Mirai’s 5th Rank Promotion Test 3
Mirai meets Catalana in the conference room.
Catalana doesn’t seem to be taking notes, just sits and rests her arms on the table.
Until recently, Mirai had been constantly with Kuufa, calling him Master.
After her life as a slave under Grand Shark and her life after being picked up by Kuufa, Mirai has never become a likable person. This brings about extreme tension.
“The rest is you and Maamu. Let’s get started.”
“Huh…”
Mirai, whose heart is pounding, is intimidated by Catalana, who hasn’t done anything yet.
No one has passed this interview so far. If she fails here, the next promotion exam will be a long way off.
If that happens, it will obviously hold back Kuufa and the others who are working as Ex-Piece.
If she ended up staying in 6th Rank, it won’t count as achievements, and she won’t be allowed to join a party.
She is free to act together, but it would be a waste if she thinks about her achievements as an adventurer.
“Why did you want to become an adventurer?”
It’s a question that’s been asked many times before. And many people have failed.
Mirai’s mind goes blank. Together with Ex-Piece, she has worked out a plan that considers Catalana’s personality, but now she is speechless.
If she stays silent, she will fail. She must say something. This obsession makes Mirai’s mouth even tighter.
“…Why did you want to become an adventurer?”
Without any follow-up, Catalana asks the same question in the same tone of voice.
Mirai clenches her hands tightly on her knees, trying to squeeze out the words.
“I…”
Did she really want to become an adventurer?
Now she has returned to her roots. She was picked up by Kuufa and traveled with Ex-Piece.
She had recently reunited with her parents, and Mirai should have made up her mind.
And she draws out the thoughts she had expressed in front of her parents.
“Because I was saved…”
“Hmm?”
“When Kuufa saved me… I wanted to help people like that too…”
“People?”
“When Kuufa saved me… it was warm. She bought me clothes and cut my hair… Then, little by little, I remembered.”
When Mirai was a slave, her heart was dead. She couldn’t think about anything, not even the events that had happened up to then, nor about the future.
Because of this, she was unable to remember anything about her own life, which gave Kuufa the wrong impression.
He thought Mirai was closing her heart off because she didn’t want to talk about it.
“Did you want to become an adventurer because you wanted to help Kuufa-chan? But Kuufa-chan is no longer in a position to help her. She has grown into a fine adventurer.”
“I mean, if I could help her with healing…”
“I see. But being a healer is difficult. There are times to support her, but can you cast healing spells without getting close?”
“No, no…”
“Then it’s tough. The enemy isn’t stupid, so they’ll target the rear guard first. What if you stuck to the front line at that time…?”
Mirai was silent. She had no ill feelings towards Catalana.
All of her points were correct, and it was something Mirai herself lacked. She had almost no track record in party battles, and no confidence.
Unable to say anything back, she was about to burst into tears, but she remembered her parents who sent her off with a smile.
“Well, I know I’m still immature. But I want to help her… I really would like to be with you, big sister…”
This time Catalana was silent. He doesn’t look down on Mirai’s halting tone. He doesn’t deny it either.
