I was currently secluding myself, becoming the highly acclaid NEET.
Its impossible, you know! Definitely impossible! I was so scared that I couldnt walk outside! Yeah, this is not a joke.
Its been around a week since I got attacked by those mysterious thugs in the forest that day. A terrible thing almost happened to Yeah, I wouldnt step out of this room after all of that. By the way, this was Lilys house.
Seriously, this was already light trauma. Normal people would start having androphobia. Just looking at the butler made tremble. Whats with this chicken, you ask? No, its !
What happened to my ntal tolerance skill! Its fucking useless! I guess this matter had exceeded the permissible limit. So LV10 wasnt completely resistant to anything? Its seriously no use.
They saved before those n could do anything to , but experiencing a crisis of chastity had nothing to do with being n or won, okay? Shocking thing was still shocking. Ugh.
I knew my mind was too weak. I was so gloomy. I didnt want to breathe. Its hard to be alive
Norns fur was the only thing that comforted . I had been sticking beside her the entire ti. But only Bell accompanied when I went to the toilet.
In the dayti, I was burying myself in Norns belly as she curled up near the edge of the room. I just stared at the ceiling. At night, I was so scared that I couldnt sleep. In the end, Lily accompanied until I fell asleep. Thats why the dark circles under my eyes were deep. Recently, I forced myself to sleep using a sleep potion.
Ah Well, thats why I had been depressed, but I couldnt admit it. Anyway, lets talk about what happened after I was rescued.
Vector ca a few days ago and told about them hmm, where should I start?
For the ti being, lets start from why Lily and Arisa ca together with Vector. No, maybe earlier than that? Hmm.
Well, Ill start from why I got attacked.
To put it simply, it was because of our poor contact. The main problem was I didnt share information with Vector.
I originally had escorts as a reward for eting the various conditions Vector presented at the blacksmithing request. But he didnt tell about the escorts. Naturally, he didnt tell any information about the total escorts and how they moved to protect . For the ti being, Master told about it at the beginning of the year, but I still knew little about them.
So there were various misunderstandings starting there. I thought Vector reduced the number of escorts because my security had been ensured, but that wasnt the case.
Thanks to Masters efforts, the people who were sniffing about had mostly disappeared. But there were a few groups left. By the way, they were friends of those who attacked . The client was a weapon rchant with a bad reputation.
And the number of escorts was decreasing since they were involved in the investigation. Moreover, it was under Vectors command.
I misunderstood and thought that I was safe. And after going out, the execution team found an opportunity and tried to kidnap When I heard all of that, I wanted to say that this was all Vectors fault. His debts increased now, huh!
By the way, it was a coincidence that Lily and Arisa ca to rescue with Vector. They didnt have any particular connection with him before.
And Gim, Triela, Cain, and the others actually ca to rescue too, but I lost my consciousness imdiately after Lily rescued . I didnt know that they got involved until I heard about it later.
And the story beca complicated because of various coincidences
Hmm, lets start with Lily and Arisa first. After we broke up in the royal capital, they returned to Harula, eventually stopped working, and beca a full-ti adventurer. And after discussing this and that, they invited to join their team.
In the spring of the New Year, when the snow lted, they returned to the royal capital with a carriage.
However, I just left the workshop when they arrived at the royal capital and searched for . It was bad timing. But to surprise , they decided to chase after in the forest, which they thought should be my destination. And they t Gim and Triela on the way, who were talking about sothing.
Actually, Lily and Arisa were acquaintances with Gim. Gim was the one who taught them the spot to collect herbs. And they learned a lot of things from him when they were just starting out people sure were connected in unexpected tis, huh.
I went off track, huh.
Seeing that the acquaintance they t after a long ti seed panicked, Lily and Arisa talked to him to know what happened. And when they listened to the story, they knew that a rookie adventurer who helped him before was being followed by bad guys. And after listening to the details, they found out that the rookie adventurer was .
They were surprised that everyone, including Triela and the children, knew , but they could sense that sothing bad was happening.
And as they discussed whether to follow , Vector who ran at full speed appeared.
Vector told that the last escort who I thought had left and disappeared shortly after I entered the forest actually rushed to call him.
The escort realized that he couldnt deal with all the people who were following with him alone.
Now that they knew the situation from Vector, everyone ran around in the woods looking for with all their might and made it in ti.
Well, its sothing like that. But I heard it from soone else and didnt actually see and hear it, so I wasnt very sure.
By the way, the n who attacked had been known to have bad behavior for a long ti. They belonged to a criminal guild in the royal capital, regarded as a problematic group.
They had been involved in various cris in the past, but no one could catch them because its hard to find their lead. But their activities had beco more and more recently, causing them to make a slight mistake. They tried to do a stupid thing with when they were kidnapping instead of moving quickly. That ans they got ahead of themselves because of their pride.
I also heard that they were shrewd poison users, but lets omit that.
Anyway, they were also involved in using multiple poisons to make Norn and I incapacitated without noticing anything. Apparently, various dangerous poisons and other amazing techniques were shared in the criminal guild. Criminal guild sure was amazing. Too scary!
By the way, so of those n died in the forest. The rest were arrested and died during interrogation. It seed like they were bound with a lot of restrictions on magic, so they died after spitting out various information.
Ah. By the way, the order of arrival for the people who helped was Vector, Arisa, Lily, Gim, Kuro, and everyone else. Kuro was still a child, but wasnt she a bit too fast? And Triela, Cain, and everyone else arrived at the sa ti.
After that having the poison derail her sense of sll and other things, Norn got angry and minced one perpetrator. Norn thank you? However, Bell who was together with Norn was a little injured, so that man probably resisted a little.
After mincing the criminal into cuts of ats, Norn arrived by my side. She was so angry that no one could calm her down Lily and Arisa, whom I once traveled with together, struggled to calm her down along with Triela and the other kids. They then returned to the city.
In addition, Norn carried on her back the entire ti. Its more like Norn started rampaging when soone else tried to carry Huh? Im being loved by Norn?
After that, in order to ensure my safety in the royal capital, I hid in Lilys house since I had stayed there before.
Anyhow, Vector told all of that as he prostrated himself.
I didnt care if the royal family was prostrating to . Its all his fault, anyway.
That being said, he now owed big ti Should I use that as my shield to ask about the orphanage? No, Im still a bit anxious. Its more like a bad premonition This all feels like a one-man show, you know?
After all, he already noticed the perpetrators from the start. Its like I beca his decoy Yeah, lets stop it for now. This all scread suspiciously. I couldnt believe him. Impossible.
My distrust of n because of this incident was probably one reason I couldnt believe Vector, but I wasnt confident that I could make the right decision in my current ntal state.
So I asked Vector to go ho without saying anything special.
Ah, the rchant who was the mastermind also had been caught and sentenced to death. His business also crashed in a go. I didnt really care, though.
Later, the criminal guild got exposed. Right now, Vector was busy getting rid of the remnants. But then, there were still many other criminal guilds.
I felt sick living in the royal capital.
After that, I was buried in Norns belly in the dayti, living my life being gloomy and all.
I didnt like this kind of .
However, my [ntal Tolerance] skill seed to gradually work after a week. I beca a little ntally better, so I decided I shouldnt stay like this and ca to think of how to cure this.
Yes, I decided to ask Lily to have a date. To be more specific, I had her hold my hand all the ti.
I wanted to make fun mories with the people around , overwriting the unpleasant ones. If this went well, I should beco better! My [ntal Tolerance] was also a great help!
I was being too optimistic? I had to take that so-what attitude, or else I would continue becoming a hikikomori all day. Thats not good. Besides, I couldnt make Lily take care of in her house all the ti
Well, doing that should improve my mood, even if it didnt heal completely.
A date you an going out? I dont mind, but are you sure you will be fine? As long as you hold my hand, I think I can manage? Hm I guess you cant stay like this all the ti I understand, lets have a date!
I asked Lily about it when we slept together at night. I was glad she understood . Yay! Im having a date with a cute girl!
No, Im faking my courage, okay? I need to stay excited
