“You're a prick, I told you I don't want it.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Frey grudgingly agreed and put on the clothes she had taken off.

 

I mean, you're not wearing a bra, right?

 

I was about to tell her, “You're going to get saggy if you don't wear a bra.” but I thought it was none of my business, so I closed my mouth.

 

I thought Frey, who had put her clothes back on, was going to leave quickly, but she was still standing there.

 

And she remained silent.

 

I sighed again and called out to Frey.

 

“What's the matter, you still have something to say?”

 

“……You're a strong guy, aren't you?”

 

“I'm not strong.
I'm just a little more experienced than you.”

 

“……”

 


I asked Frey, who wasn't convinced by my deceptive words, in a slightly serious voice.

 

“When we were competing, I knew your means of attack.
What do you think that is?”

 

“……I don't know.”

 

“Because I deliberately stirred you up.
I'm sure you wanted to punch me in the face right then and there.
That's why you didn't take precautions and came straight at me, and instead of kicking me in the face, you threw your fist in my face.
You fell right into my trap.”

 

“So you're saying that I was led into punching you in the face?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“What the hell?”

 

She clenched her fists tightly.

 

She's probably angry at her own stupidity, not at me.

 

I couldn't help but……
act like an old man again, but I would give some advice to the young woman in distress.

 

I spoke to Frey, who was gritting her teeth.

 

“Do you understand why we're telling you to work together?”

 

“Because it's a party and that's what we're supposed to do?”

 

“No, it's not.
It's because collaboration is far more powerful.”

 

“What?”

 

“I'm sure you realized today that the pair of me and Mirialia defeated the monster faster than the pair of you and Athena, didn't you? That's because I had made a plan with Mirialia beforehand.
Even during the battle, when I gave the signal, she would immediately release the next magic, right? But you didn't even discuss it with Athena, you just went ahead by yourself as usual.”

 

Frey looked down at me, and I continued.

 

“Mirialia is an excellent magician, so there are few misfires.
But, when you're stuck fighting monsters all the time, you can't use magic like you did today.”

 

“……”

 

“If you just want to wield your power, just go to the labyrinth alone.
There's no need to go out of your way to form a party.
But you chose to join the party.
If you can't do that, then you're not a liability to the party.
You're more of a hindrance to the party.”

 

When I told her clearly, Frey looked as if she was about to cry.

 

Phew………
I'm sure she would cooperate a little if I said this much.

 

“That's why……
I'm sorry.”

 

Frey apologized for the first time.

 

She was able to properly reflect on her actions and apologize.

 

She was still a kid, and there were plenty of times when she made mistakes.


 

She was still a kid, and there was no one to correct her, which was why she had gotten so worked up.

 

But now, Frey was fine.

 

To be honest, I didn't expect her to be this remorseful, but this was a big win.

 

Frey would be strong.

 

“I'm not the only one you should apologize to.”

 

“I know.
I apologize to Athena and Mirialia too.
I want to be strong.
I'm sorry to Athena and Mirialia.
How can I get stronger?”

 

Wow……
this was a surprise.
She herself was aware of Athena's potential?

 

She must have had sensed it by instinct or something.

 

And she was terrified.
She was terrified of Athena's growth rate, which was so fast that she was catching up with her from below.

 

Maybe that's why she was hitting Athena so hard.
Even if she wasn't aware of it.

 

“I don't know anything about that.
I'm not strong.
Even if I were, I wouldn't tell you.”

 

“Why? Because you don't like me?”

 

“Of course not.
Don't be naive.
It's up to you to become strong.
Don't take the easy way out, don't try to learn from others.
Watch and learn, watch what other adventurers do and think, steal it for yourself, and make it your own.
At least, that's what I've been doing, kid.”

 

“……”

 

“I understand your impatience.
But, Frey, I think your potential is as good as Athena's.
If you think and try to be strong, you will not be able to do it yourself.
If you think about it and try to become stronger, the results will naturally follow.
I guarantee it.
If you want, I'll even put my life on the line for you.”

 

When I told her what I really thought, Frey clicked her tongue and said, “Damn.”

 

“Okay……
I know I can be strong.
Watch it, I'll definitely get stronger and get my revenge on you.”

 

“Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.”

 

“……hmm.”

 

Frey turned on her heel and walked out of the room.

 

Well, I wasn't sure what was going to happen when she started taking off her clothes, but the story had taken a pretty good turn.

 

It was going to be interesting from here on out.

 

Sorry Athena, I gave your rival some advice.

 

But you know, Frey was an essential part of your development.

 

But there was a possibility that Frey would beat Athena.

 

But, let's see.
