The City of Barse Tavern

I don't like it!

D-level hunter Lyga Easter slammed a wooden cup of wine on the table.

You've been squeezed to death by Mia. In addition, it looks like your admirer, Ilsa, has bought a lot of that Kai Heinemann.

Hook, his best friend, chief of staff, and restraint, says this while pouring wine down his throat and looking at Raiga, who is still trembling with rage.

Raiga is from Lamur. The things in that city like to set the pecking order of a person's worth, especially in terms of the favors (gifts) they are supposed to receive from God. From that Raiga's point of view, Kai Heinemann, who has the gift of [the greatest incompetence in the world], is a person who can never admit it.

(If it weren't for this, he'd be a nice, good guy.)

If I confess to myself, Hook can't help but like this Lyga's disdain for gifts.

The gift is just a measure of ability. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good look at them.

You're not going to be able to find out what's going on.

I'm not sure I was defending her from her point of view, but I'm not sure I was defending her from the guild's receptionist. I'm sure the receptionist of the guild would be upset. It's a good thing that you have a lot of experience in this field.

"Screw that!　What did I do?

Did you really mean it?

Of course.

Raiga is blinded when it comes to the gift.

"You should not get involved with Kai Heinemann anymore. Ilsa-san just wants to recruit Kai Heinemann for the archaeological dig team.

I told you I could be on the team, remember?　And now she's telling me that a B grade or higher is a requirement!

It's just that it's a difficult quest, isn't it?　We're still in Class D, you know?

"Class C coming up!　With my gift, you can get up to Class A in no time. But that woman, she looked down on me rather than that incompetent!

Hook doesn't believe that benefits (gifts) make all the difference. In fact, there are more than a few obviously unprofessional gift holders who make a name for themselves in a particular field.

As long as Ilsa Harnish, the critically acclaimed archaeological (treasure) hunter now on the market, recognizes Kai Heinemann, he must have significant value in making the search for the site a success.

But he won't accept it, even if I explain it to Raiga, whose head is full of blood. Now, what to do.

"Hey, Raiga, Hook!　He wants you guys to have this.

When one of the fellows comes to sit with Hook and his friends, he puts a letter and a pendant on the table.

'Who's that?'

He had his hood over his head, so I couldn't see him well. As soon as I handed it to you before I got your name, you were gone.

It's too stinky. It's a good thing you don't touch it.

"Raiga--

Hook nearly opened his mouth, but

It's about the search for the Ancient Temple. They have two of the most promising girls in Barse, Lyga and Hook, and they're only going to teach us.

He is proud to say that such a liga is specially stimulated.

"Well, wait, Lyga--

I knew it was futile, but I tried my best to restrain myself.

Surely, if Hook had successfully persuaded Raiga to tear up the letter at this time, he would not have faced such a horrible nightmare.

However, contrary to Hook's wishes, Raiga reads the letter.

'Haha!　Kuhuhahaha!

Raiga laughed like a man possessed, and then

"We'll investigate the effects of this pendant, and if it's true, we'll go on a search for the 'Ancient Temple' by ourselves!

Spinning words to the worst way. Thus began Hooks' march to despair.
