…If you’re going to give it an F, can’t you just not give it?

It’s absurd to look at it. Why is the performance proudly included as a characteristic when nothing plausible is created?

Since Philia was possessed and played frantically, is this a characteristic that developed in the aftermath?

I felt a bit uneasy about the fact that I had an F-rank trait.

I know very well that I have no talent for music, so why are you giving me a performance trait? Wouldn’t it be better to give me at least one useful trait?

I had no choice but to seriously consider whether the status window was trying to insult me, or whether I was stupid and had no answer.

Thanks to this, I was able to roughly figure out that F was the lowest rank.

“F is the lowest…”

I guess they didn’t put this on just to let you know?

Anyway, then the order is F, E, D, C, B, A, S.

I was dumbfounded by the information I had just learned. In this day and age, isn’t it necessary to include at least a tutorial? At the very least, add a Survival Academy-style status window.

Is there any case where you have to interpret the status window one by one?

However, since I wasn’t given enough points, I became irritated at having to worry about a small amount of points. It would be nice if you sprinkle some points generously.

I don’t know what the b*stard’s intentions were, but if he caused someone to possess him, he must take responsibility.

It’s a shame I don’t even give this one a star.

[Contractor, look at that!]

Will I discover something interesting? I turned off the status window and approached the strange grimoire that was clinging to the window and calling to me with its tentacles. When Lue looked forward through the uncovered window, she saw a child making a snowman.

Are you asking me to look at that?

There’s nothing special about it. It’s an ordinary scene of making a snowman.

[Contractor, what is that kid making?]

“It’s a snowman. “It’s a game you can play when there’s a lot of snow.”

[Humans play amazing games, right? I want to try it too…]

“Isn’t it okay to do it?”

[Don’t go out!]

You’re unusually good at listening. I took Lue off her window and hung it on her waist. Anyway, if I still have time, I should go for a short walk.

[Contractor, are you going to leave?]

“I’m thinking of taking a short walk.”

I immediately opened the door and went out of the inn.

————-

[Oh, it’s amazing. How did humans create something like this?]

Lue continued to admire the giant snowman she was someone she had made. It was like a child seeing a snowman for the first time, and a smile came to my face. For someone who uses brainwashing beams, he has a cute side to him.

“Do you want to touch it?”

[Can I touch it?]

“Don’t break it.”

[Don’t break it!]

I picked up Lue, which was hanging on my belt, and held it toward the snowman’s head. As her snowman got closer, Lue stretched out her tentacles and closed to her snowman. It was a scene similar to an alien attack, but I watched what Lue was doing with her arms crossed.

[Oh, what an amazing feeling! It looks hard, but it’s strangely shaky!]

Lue was as happy as a child, clinging to the top of her snowman’s head and looking around her. Fortunately, there were very few people nearby, so there was no need to attract attention.

[Hmm, I want to try making it myself~]

“Hold on to that. “I don’t have much time right now.”

[Is it okay to make it during break time after work is over?]

“…Do whatever you want.”

I want to do something like that, so what’s the point of saying out loud that I can’t do it? In any case, in order to get Rue’s help her, I had to build up her her favorability, so I allowed her to have a brief affair.

[It’s a promise!]

… Since she plays with Milia often, she probably passed it on to Milia.

I chuckled and put Lue on her waist again. People were slowly showing up, so it was time to quietly retreat.

[Where do we go now?]

“Well.”

Basically, going for a walk is not about deciding where to go. It’s just like walking down the street aimlessly. I took a walk around the city with Lue, who was rolling his eyes here and there.

Actually, I said it was a walk, but it was more like exploring the surroundings to see if there were any rumors of people coming to the city. How to eavesdrop on rumors people say and filter out useful information.

I thought about going to a bar, but the alcohol here was too strong, closer to rum. Since drinking for no reason could result in a person becoming speechless, I planned to walk around the streets and collect information if possible.

“Well, Leslie…”

“Lumia said yesterday…”

Filter out useless rumors and select useful information.

It was a grandiose thing to say, but the reality was just eavesdropping.

I walked around like that for about two hours. I was just walking around empty-handed, so I went into a coffee shop. The employee standing in front of the counter was started when he saw me, but then he smiled awkwardly and asked me, probably out of professionalism.

“What would you like to order?”

“Do you have iced Americano?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you know about iced Americano?”

“Uh…What is that?”

“…I’ll just order an Americano. “I wish they would give me ice if possible.”

If you don’t have it, you can make it. I took a small wooden plaque with the number 6 written on it from the receptionist who took my order with a puzzled look on my face, sat down in an appropriate seat, and waited.

[What is Iced Americano?]

“It’s cold coffee.”

[Is the coffee cold? Doesn’t coffee mix with hot water?]

“It’s refreshing and good if you drink it cold.”

[It’s really cold here?]

“It tastes better when it’s cold.”

“Well, the coffee and ice you ordered came out.”

“Thank you.”

Without hesitation, I dropped the ice onto the coffee cup.

————————

[Contractor, the reaction from people the day before yesterday was amazing~]

“How many times is that story?”

[But it was the most violent reaction I’ve ever seen. Why are you so angry? I just put some ice in my coffee?]

Lue asked me as if he was honestly curious.

“There are people in the world who hate drinking cold liquids that are not alcohol. I guess he was that type.”

I looked out of her window while responding appropriately to Lue’s chatting inside her carriage.

The crevasse mountains are getting closer. As the faint appearance of the tall mountain gets closer, it feels even more majestic.

How many meters above sea level is it?

I just hope it’s not as bad as Mt. Everest.

[Wow, that’s really high.]

“I’m already tired thinking about taking a picture of the summit.”

It’s hiking. When did you try it?

There was nothing worth calling a mountain on the uninhabited island, so it was my first time climbing in at least 10 years.

Now that even the feeling of reaching the highlands was fading away, I instinctively realized once again that climbing up those crazy high mountains would not be easy.

…Well, first of all, we’ll do thorough maintenance in the village, so it’ll be okay.

[Contractor, how long until the next village?]

“There’s probably about half a day left.”

The name of the village was Wendigo Village. It’s a name that has a somewhat ominous feeling.

When I purchased equipment at Wendigo Village and started hiking alone, that was when it really began. Tom was planning to wait below for now. Because the mountain terrain was too rough to take them there.

Unlike me, who was confident of surviving even if I fell into the middle of the wasteland, this coachman was just an ordinary coachman.

I don’t know if I can use the modifier ‘ordinary’. There was something about the coachman who traveled with the Archmage that seemed a bit ordinary.

[Is it still half a day?]

“Yes.”

[Too long~]

Ji Lue, bored of riding in her carriage for so long, grumbled and fell from her window and rolled around on her sheets. She had been watching for so long that she seemed to be sick of it.

“Sigh, sleep. It will arrive when you sleep.”

[I want to see more!]

“I see. “I’m going to sleep for a bit, so just have fun.”

[What? Are you going to leave me alone!? No! I’m bored!]

It’s noisy.

I ignored Lue’s loud words and closed my eyes.

—————-

“You guys, we’re here, so get up.”

“…We’ve finally arrived.”

I stretched after listening to Tom. After riding the carriage for so long, my whole body ached and I felt like I wanted to lie down on the inn bed right now.

[Uuuuu-]

Why does this guy look like a zombie? I picked up Lue, who was lying on the floor, and put it on her waist.

“Like I said at the beginning, you can wait here. If there is no news after about 15 days, you can go back and inform Principal Merlin.”

“Okay.”

I looked up at the crevasse mountains, which were now much closer.

Is this the beginning?

Please, the phoenix should not have gone somewhere else.

With anxiety, I entered Wendigo, a village below the crevasse mountains.
