A Girl Who Was Told “You Have No Talent” Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster

Litty Thinks About How To Counterattack

 

After the Scarb horde was defeated, there were a good number of wounded adventurers.
Although there were no casualties, those with serious wounds could not be ignored.

 

In particular, a Rank 5 adventurer who was rammed by a Scarb Soldier and slammed into a wall was in dire condition.
He was still unconscious when he was rushed to the medical site for treatment.

 

“I heard you ran out of arrows.
We can no longer expect any covering fire then.” (Dimos)

 

“Dimos, it must be difficult to carry two people on your back.
Let me carry one.” (An adventurer)

 

“You should worry about yourself.
One of your legs is completely broken.” (Dimos)

 

“That’s true, but…” (An adventurer)

 

Dimos, who was using his physical enhancement to carry one wounded adventurer and an adventurer with a limp leg, was sweating profusely.
Despite being a Rank 4, he was out of commission.

 

Magician adventurers also took a long time to recover because of the overuse of magic.
The same went for Laila, the Priestess.
There was not enough magic power to heal all the wounded.

 

“Let’s hurry and close the door.
Tonight, the Swordsmen’s Guild will be on guard all night long.” (Dimos)

 

“I think I’ll be working to heal the seriously wounded first.” (Laila)

 

“Laila, take it easy.
If you use too much magic, it might kill you.” (Dimos)

 

“Let me do it until the last minute, please.” (Laila)

 

Laila would have rested herself a little earlier but she had finally found something she wanted to do and a place where she was needed at.

 

There were times when she felt uncomfortable because of the overuse of magic powers, but there were also times when she met people, like Litty, who were grateful.
Those who continued to look down on her couldn’t be helped.

 

“We’ve got three wounded over here!” (Litty)

 

“Hey, you can’t carry them all, can you?” (Dimos)

 

“I’m fine!” (Litty)

 

Dimos showed an overwhelmed expression on his face as he was Litty running over with all three people on her back.

 

Seeing Litty like that, Laila was also soothed.
She could tell that what she had been frustrated by was actually something so trivial, while people like Litty were doing their utmost to achieve their goals.

 

Laila squeezed out magic power from the core of her body and cast a recovery spell on the seriously wounded adventurer who had been brought in.

 

“U…uu…” (Wounded adventurer)

 

“Good, he’s regained consciousness.
Now you can take him to the hospital.” (Laila)

 

“Yes!” (Litty)

 

Litty had been running back and forth between the hospital and the city entrance for a long time, but she didn’t look tired at all.
She had just been in a fierce battle, and must have needed time to replenish her energy, but perhaps she was pushing herself too hard.

 

Litty’s behavior was so bizarre that it made Laila wonder if she was overworked.

 

“Let’s close the gate!” (Guard)

 

The guards closed the gate and the adventurers, who were in a better state than others, finally sat down.
The heads of two branches and the captain of the guards were discussing the situation.
Dimos, who was listening beside them, clicked his tongue.

 

“They say our strength has been cut in half at this point.” (Dimos)

 

“But, but! The branch manager and the others are also strong adventurers in Rank 3, aren’t they? Then…”

 

“We don’t have unlimited strength and energy.
And food, too.
How are we going to end this with no resources and energy?” (Dimos)

 

“Well…”

 

The adventurer, who had been at a loss for words, fell silent.
Litty took Dimos’s words seriously.
As Dimos had said, continuing to fight would only exhaust them.

 

Besides, the city’s inhabitants were also coming out of their houses and anxiety could be seen on their faces.

 

“It’s only a matter of time before those people start to panic.
If that happened, the city’s security would deteriorate at once.
In short… it’s almost a dead end.” (Dimos)

 

“What happened to the Branch manager Regal? How did this happen?”

 

“What’s wrong with you, you are also starting to panic.” (Dimos)

 

As Dimos calmly soothed the distraught adventurer, Litty thought to herself, ‘Rather than continuing to fight, the priority should be to get rid of the root cause of the problem.’

 

To achieve that, she needed to know some information.

 

“Dimos, what kind of monster are Scarbs? All I know is that they are insects and monsters that live underground, you know?” (Litty)

 

“They are monsters similar to ants that live quietly underground and feed on the creatures that live in the same environment.
So, as long as they don’t multiply too much, they’re not a problem.
However, the work at the Bikki Mine has triggered one of their nests, and now they are multiplying at an unusual pace.” (Dimos)

 

“That’s also the reason why adventurers have been hired to take them down regularly, right?” (Litty)

 

“That’s right.
I hate to say it, but adventurers are either not interested in that quest because of its low rewards or just want to use it to increase their achievements.
It’s our fault for not being serious about taking them down.” (Dimos)

 

In other words, the number of Scarbs had increased so much that they could no longer be satisfied with their food underground.
So, they went above ground and started attacking humans. 

 

But why only now?

 

Above all, she and Roma defeated the queen-like monster among them before.
Thanks to that, their reproduction should have been suppressed.
However, this situation proved that something was wrong.
