After Kuro left, the members discussed among themselves.
“Why is our leader so clueless?”
“That’s one of Kuro-sama’s charms, isn’t it?”
“Alma-chan, why did you have such a serious expression earlier?”
“Ugh. It’s because Kuro-kun is being nice to Rafia even though our responses are sloppy!”
“Nii-nii…”
“Master…”
“Hey, Yuma-chan, Ally-chan. It’s just a temporary separation from Kuro-kun, so don’t look so sad. Look, big sis baked some cookies, let’s eat them over there.”
*Sulking*
“The master seems angry with me…”
“Kuro-sama doesn’t want to be with me, huh?”
“And this situation is also your fault, Horus…”
“Oh? If we’re talking about the cause, it’s your impatience that brought us this trouble, Guruga…”
“Guruga, Horus. If you continue this brawl any further, I’ll make sure you die this time.”
“Tch…”
“Hmph…”
Lulsiera, watching the door through which Kuro had left, let out a sigh of exasperation as Guruga and Horus argued with each other.
Nevertheless, he truly is clueless. Not only does he not boast about his own abilities, but he even hides them. Even that mask of his, we have an unspoken agreement not to touch upon it, so why does he resist showing his true face? We would accept him no matter what he looks like. After all, he is our only hope, our light.
On that day, we were abandoned, forsaken, betrayed, sold… It was him who reached out to us in the midst of such despair. We… hold you in high regard, despite your self-proclaimed ugliness.
This is the story of the protagonist, self-proclaimed “ugly” Kuro, and the guild members who admire him to an extreme level.
