"No, no, no, that won't work!"

She almost choked on the food in her mouth and nearly vomited it all over him.

Fortunately, she managed to hold back this time.

"That's a Gold-tier magical beast! You and I would die!"

"That's what Nellie said."

"Actually, there should have been one more person, my original teammate, but she suddenly fell ill, and I couldn't complete the task by myself, so I had to recruit another teammate."

"That's what Xize said."

Looking at the girl's timid appearance, Xize really doubted whether this guy was the right candidate.

He wanted reliable adventurer companions, not unlucky guys who couldn't even afford to eat.

In fact, it is virtually impossible for any professional to starve to death, so it is quite rare for someone to end up in such a state.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen the girl in front of him.

The last time I saw her, she was also starving.

However, she still had a bit of wildness, after all, the staff in her hand was indeed very heavy, and it would be impossible to lift it without some strength.

But a little strength isn't enough.

Not to mention she's a legal professional, so physical strength isn't really useful to her.

If you just want to find a follower to cheer you on, you can find anyone.

But what he needs is a qualified teammate who can provide crucial support spells at critical moments, buff herself, protect herself when he can't attend to her, and remain calm and collected in the face of danger, handling battlefield information effectively.

However, he didn't know if the girl in front of him had such potential.

In fact, he had been secretly following her for a long time—although it might seem a bit perverted, there was no other way.

We need to make sure she's reliable. Being an adventurer isn't an ordinary job; if something goes wrong at a crucial moment, it could kill everyone.

By the way, some wretched elf actually slandered him.

His selfless dedication to the team was misinterpreted as some kind of illicit vice and was thus slandered.

Really.

Is he the kind of person who is not serious?

The thought of this made Xize somewhat angry.

In short, a certain elf abandoned him and ran away, saying he had something to take care of, leaving him alone here.

After these days of observation.

The general image of the girl in front of him was also formed in Nishizawa's mind.

This is... how should I put it?

Fool?

Or rather.

A kind-hearted fool.

After all, they are professionals from the Vatican, so they are impeccable in this regard.

But to not even be able to find a job is a bit too foolish.

I feel like if we don't take care of her, she might starve to death.

Have they even sunk so low as to compete with stray cats for food?

Nelly, you bastard...

If she actually snatched it, Xize might even praise her.

Is it because they'll stop at nothing to survive?

You might have a dark side to you too.

But in the end, the guy obediently returned the food.

It makes people wonder what to say.

If you insist on saying so.

It seems there are some advantages, though?

Xize thought to himself.

At the very least, this guy is really fast when he runs.

She seemed unaware of why she had offended a group of adventurers.

Of course, in Xize's eyes, those guys were all just small fry.

However, for Nelly, she couldn't fight off several people at the same time and could only be chased around.

Those petty thugs bear a large part of the responsibility for her falling to this state.

What's commendable is her incredible speed in escaping; even when she was so hungry she was unsteady on her feet, those guys couldn't catch her. However, this was clearly not going to work.

This won't solve the problem.

Not quick-witted enough.

This is the evaluation given by Nishizawa.

If their situations were reversed, Caesar was confident he could solve these problems.

In short, this is a general assessment of Nelly in Caesar's current situation.

"I'll find a way to pay you back for the meal. As for the matter of the commission..."

"That's what Nellie said."

According to him, he originally had another teammate.

But it's not here now.

However, even with three people, she didn't think the mission could be completed.

Sure enough, his teammate must have realized he was unreliable long ago, so he used the excuse of running away to avoid going to his death with him.

She looked like she was about to cry.

This gave Xize a bit of a headache.

If this commission cannot be completed, his subsequent plans may be hindered.

Let's give it a try, even if it means forcing a duck onto a shelf.

"Don't be afraid, you won't die."

As Caesar said this, Nellie over there seemed to be about to cry.

He forced a smile.

Of course, in Nelly's eyes...

The man's smile at that moment was even more frightening.
