#T/N:「スイーツ（笑） Suiitsu Kakko Wara (lit. Sweets (lol))」is an internet slang, derogatory term used to refer to a snobbish woman who mindlessly follows trends.
Looks like there’s still some time before the ship’s departure. We joined the line along the breakwater in order to board the ship.
Anyway, the guy in front of me was looking around restlessly, seemingly having too much spare time on his hands.
“Hell yeah! We’re going to get on the ship and keep moving forward! Therese, let’s explore inside the ship later!”
“Yes, L’Arc! We’ll be even more polished on this voyage~!”
Ugh… they look like a stupid couple, and I mean it in both ways.
With the two restless folks in front of me, I feel my stress building up.
Also, exploring the ship… how old are these guys? Not even Filo would say something like that.
… She won’t, right?
“Hmm? What’s the matter, Kiddo~?”
“…”
He spoke to me, but I averted my gaze and feigned ignorance. I don’t want to get involved with this kind of guy.
“Hey, didn’t your parents teach you to make eye contact when talking to people?”
Ugh! I don’t want to be hearing that coming from someone like you!
What’s more, for some reason or other, we all ended up in the same cabin… It’s only going to be a one-day voyage, but I can feel the stress burning a hole in my stomach.
“Kyahaha, Naocchi, I heard you can make beautiful accessories? I heard from Raphchi! Can you make one for me~?”
“Um… Naofumi-sama, I’m sorry. I… couldn’t keep it a secret…”
Why me!? We were in the same cabin, and Raphtalia seemed to be at a loss for words, so it seems like she ended up having to reluctantly talk with her!
These kinds of people get really annoying to deal with when you turn them down.
“Okay, okay. I understand, so if you have the materials, I’ll make it.”
“Seriously!? I’m really happy, you know~!”
I’m really annoyed, you know~!
“L’Arc, when we get to the island, let’s look for sweets!”
“Gotcha~!”
Sweets…? What are you two going to Cal Mira Island for? For her, it’s more like she’s sweets(lol).

After that, when we arrived at Cal Mira Island, we kept a distance from the two airheads and worked hard to raise our levels.
They asked us to go hunt together, but of course I declined. To be honest, I don’t want to be with these guys even for a few hours.
However, since I was asked to do so, I made an accessory with the ores I received.
These kinds of… easy-going guys only get louder when people break promises.
Do what you have to do, and then stay away from them.
That said, she had provided good ore, which led to me making a good accessory for her, just out of interest.
“Hey, here’s the accessory you asked for.”
I threw the bracelet to Therese, who I met at the port.
Therese looked at the bracelet and checked it out, jumping around in high spirits.
“Kyaah! This is amazing! Unbelievable! It’s too amazing, you know~!”
What is unbelievable is your high spirits!
“Wow! Wow! So wow! Seriously! You’re a genius, aren’t you, Kiddo? To be able to make an accessory that makes Therese feel so excited?”
“I don’t care!”
Why do I not feel happy whatsoever even though I’m being praised?
These kinds of people… I used to not mind them in the past, but I suppose they exist in other worlds too…
“Wow! So wow! Kyahaha, Filo is happy too~”
“Filo! Don’t imitate that!”
Filo began imitating them. I can’t let her get close to them!
“Then let’s go hunting together! I’ll teach you how it’s done as a thank you!”
“Don’t follow me!”
The two then followed us just like that, regardless of our wishes, ripping apart the enemies we fought.
Afterwards…
“Hmm? Well, Naofumi, we don’t hold any grudge against you, but~”
“Yeah yeah. We don’t~ have any grudges. But we have our own circumstances, you could say~”
I have a bad feeling about this.
However, regarding my hunch with L’Arc’s scythe… The big question within me had now turned into certainty.
“For the sake of our world… please die~”
L’Arc moved at unbelievably high speeds, instantly closing the distance, and swung his scythe before I could even process the situation happening in front of me. I then reflexively aligned my shield with the trajectory of his scythe and deflected it.
“Well… it’s not going to be easy after all, it seems~!”
“… What is the meaning of this?”
“What are you doing to Master~!”
When Filo attempted to attack in a rage, I held out my hand and stopped her.
How do I put this, I got a feeling that a reckless assault would get her more than just an injury.
“Die for the sake of our world”? What is that supposed to mean? Besides that… my patience already is at its limit!
“It’s bad, but this is just something we’ve gotta do~!”
“Yeah yeah, there are some things we can’t give up on, you could say~”
“Some things we can’t give up on” my ass!
Think of those you met on the voyage to Cal Mira Island who had to spend every day with you two!
“Like I’d hesitate over shit like this! DIE! BLOOD SACRIFICE!”
I’ll get seriously injured from the curse, but I don’t care! I’ll make you pay for the crime of thoroughly pissing me off with your lives!
A reddish-black rusty bear trap-like object appeared below L’Arc and Therese’s feet and crunched them!
“No, this is baaaaaaaaaad!”
Ugh… I’m now seriously injured as a result of the curse. But I have no regrets.
Because I was able to beat those really annoying people.

Conclusion: With Naofumi holding no attachment towards L’Arc and Therese, he kills them without any care for the aftermath.
