Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save The World

Chapter 81: Two of a kind

Training that could be done while going about ones life.

It could be done even while casually walking. Just like Ada said, Nick practiced using Light Body on his way home from visiting Leon. He went through a park with no people around and walked on top of a fence, like a tightrope act.

Nick was absorbing what Ada had taught him like a dry sponge.

Ah, we should pay Olivia a visit on our way back. Theres something I want to ask her.

Fine But Nick

What?

Is that fun?

Its really great. Its like Ive grown wings or something.

Fufu, youre like a kid.

Karan snickered, and Nick blushed.

He finally realized he had been excitedly playing around like a child.

Ah, s-sorry.

You dont have to stop.

I cant go on after you said that.

Its fine.

You really think this is funny dont you?

Ive never seen you that excited over something thats not about idols.

Well I guess

Nick hopped down from the fence and started walking alongside Karan.

His movements were silent like a cat.

I didnt know how to put it, but I like that theres a real feeling to it.

Its fun to look at.

Thats nice Can we rest for a bit? Training and talking to that bothersome guy made me a little tired.

Yes.

Karan nodded, and they sat down on a park bench.

Thanks.

Hn? For what?

For caring about my orb.

Ah.

Nick purposefully gave a vague answer out of embarrassment.

Karan sighed and continued talking.

Nick youre great.

Stop it, its embarrassing.

Talking normally to that hateful guy I couldnt do it.

Said Karan as she hugged one of her knees.

No, you did well. I didnt see you lose control or anything, even when we found out clues about your orb.

No, I was just holding back. When we were talking about the Dragon King Orb I wanted to scream, but I didnt want the knights to throw us out.

I guess theres that too.

I dont think I can stay calm like you. If I saw my old partners, I think Id rip them apart or bite them to death.

Karan snickered, exposing her pointed canines. They were white and glossy like a magic sword.

She was not joking. If a dragon person really wanted to kill someone, they could very well kill a person without using a weapon.

Im actually happy. I got some clues, Im working, and Im studying It feels like Im moving forward. Back when I was just surviving, I couldnt imagine living like this. But when I remember things I dont like, I start having cruel thoughts and wanting to rampage.

Ah

Thats why Im happy I became an adventurer. If I didnt, I think I would be hitting people that didnt deserve it and stealing from them, like the people weve been catching. Sem said something like that too, but I think I wouldve become way worse.

I dont know what wouldve become of me if I quit being an adventurer either.

If you were a bad guy back then And you told me to do bad things with you in order to survive I wouldve become a villain too. Thats why I want you to stay a good person.

Karan

What?

Karan was looking at the distance, and did not see it coming. A mistake unbecoming of a warrior.

Teyah!

Ouch!?

Nick flicked her forehead.

W-w-what are you doing!?

Youre being an idiot Just kidding.

Karan didnt understand what was going on, and looked at a snickering Nick with bewilderment.

Were two of a kind. Our worries are the same too.

Y-yes.

Ill keep doubting you and keeping an eye on you to make sure you dont turn bad.

Nick

For now, Ill make sure to stop you if it looks like youre going to bite someone to death.

Karan looked at Nick with an uneasy expression, but Nick smiled.

I mean, that would definitely give you a stomachache. You should eat something better.

Im not talking about eating!

Im joking. Do what you want. Ill be with you even if you do something that turns into trouble. But

But?

Theres a lot of tasty and fun things in this world.

Yes.

Im not a priest or anything, and Im not going to tell you not to take revenge. Ive been doing things that can be considered revenge too, but what Im saying is that you dont need to devote your whole life to that. I like idols, and I have fun going out on adventures with our party. I dont give up on things I like just for revenge.

Itd be a waste if you threw away what you like and what you want to do for the sake of awful people.

Nick got up and pointed at the bench.

And I want to get better at using the techniques I learned. This is what I want to do.

Nick did a handstand on just one finger. Karan was impressed, but soon became flustered.

I-idiot! What if you get hurt!?

Its alright, Im used to it.

Im gonna get mad!

Karan lifted Nick up by grabbing his leg, and waved him around.

An upside down Nick smiled awkwardly.

This Light Body magic makes it really easy for people to grab you doesnt it?

Youre really light.

Thats the whole point.

Karan put Nick down on the bench, and quietly sat back next to him.

What I want to do

In your case thatd be eating, right?

Thats not really what I want to do Thats what I always do. Its a hobby, its not a big deal.

Its nice to have hobbies.

Thats not what I mean What I want to feels different. And getting my orb back and getting revenge isnt really what I want to do either, its more what I have to do.

Thats right.

What do I want to do?

Mumbled Karan.

I cant think of anything.

Thats fine too. I think its good if we just continue adventuring like weve been doing.

Yes.

You left your hometown to become an adventurer right? Then enjoy the adventurer life to the fullest.

No.

No?

Karan shook her head.

It wasnt to become an adventure, it was to fulfill the duty of the dragon god race.

Duty?

Its my se

Karan stopped.

Se?

Secret.

Eh? Youre keeping secrets now?

I-I dont want to say.

Eh Well, Im not going to force it out of you or anything.

For some reason, Karan hugged her knees and buried her face in her legs.

Through the small gaps, her red face could be seen.

Im not saying.

I told you Im not going to force you. But

But?

Take good care of whatever it is.

Yes.

Before they knew it, the sky had begun to turn red.

Nick and Karan walked out of the park, and onto the street.

Their long shadows painted vague silhouettes on the ground, looking similar, despite their different races and background.
