"Why–why can't I hit it...?"

Just a moment ago, I was able to perfectly hit any of my targets with my bow, yet, why can't I hit even a single can right in front of me?

Confused by the situation and just staring at the collapsed tent, Sophia approached me while leaning on her staff.

"It seems your mana didn't flow."

"Mana? Why didn't it flow all of a sudden?"

"It's probably because you're not as tense as when you're hunting monsters."

"Aha..."

Whether facing monsters or during moments of crisis, I had noticed my sight and hearing unusually sharpening.

Maybe my mana instinctively activated whenever I felt danger, and right now, with a safe target, my mana probably didn't stir.

"Try shooting with the tension you feel when facing monsters."

"Okay. But first, I should clean this up."

"Mm... Yes, that would be best."

I moved towards the scattered glass shards.

One piece at a time.

With my small hands, I diligently picked up the glass fragments.

The glass bottles, costing a hundred and twenty won each, now shattered.

All together, that was over five hundred won.

Tch.

My tail expressed my frustration, thumping the ground on its own.

It was then that someone called out my name from afar.

"Gyeoul! I sold the mana stones!"

"Yes."

Turning my head, I saw Yeoreum waving at me from a distance, holding a bundle of bills.

The guild apparently bought mana stones, and it seemed to go quickly since a guild member, Yeoreum, handled it.

"Gyeoul—Huh? Why is the tent like this?"

"Well, I was practicing archery and accidentally broke it..."

"I see..."

Yeoreum scratched her cheek, then squatted near the glass shards.

Unfazed by the broken glass, she skillfully scooped up the pieces with both hands.

"I–I can do it—!"

I couldn't let someone else clean up my mistake.

I hurriedly squatted in front of her, but she pushed me back, preventing me from getting closer.

"I'll clean this up. Gyeoul, you still have a lot to do."

"But, still..."

"It's okay. I want to finish quickly so I can play with Gyeoul."

I closed my mouth at Yeoreum's kindness.

Whether teaching me how to hunt monsters in the dungeon or helping clean up the glass.

She seemed nothing but kind.

'Is she really a good person?'

My doubts were frustratingly unresolved.
