The Author's POV

"huuuu..."

Standing on top of two giant furry carcasses, Kevin exhaled as turbid air escaped from his mouth. By the side of his face, a droplet of sweat dripped down from his cheek.

"Good job!"

Looking upwards, I couldn't help but praise Kevin. It only took him two minutes to dispatch two ranked monsters.

Although he had my instructions, it was still a very impressive feat. Something that I, with my strength, could probably not be able to achieve.

...At least not without some preparations.

-Spurt!

Removing his sword from the carcass of one of the two-horned sheep, Kevin jumped down and moved next to me. Arriving before me, looking at me straight in the eyes, Kevin slowly said

"...so it's true"

Taken aback by his sudden action, I couldn't help but ask

"What's true?"

"The fact that you can see the future"

Stopping for a second, I nodded my head.

"Ah...yeah"

I guess you could put it that way.

...With the aid of the book I really could look into the future. Albeit only ten minutes, it was still a small glimpse into the future.

Glancing at Kevin who seemed to be more convinced about his decision, I smiled inwardly.

I guess this worked out in my favor. With the aid of the book, I managed to thoroughly convince Kevin about what I had previously told him. This could probably help me explain a few things in the future when I was planning on scam-keummm, making more deals with him in the future.

"Anyhow, that aside, let's see if there's anything good"

-Spurt!

Walking towards the two-horned sheep, I took out my sword and stabbed it straight towards where their heart was.

"Let's see..."

...I was currently looking for a core.

Because one of the requirements for going to Immorra was a ranked core, I obviously needed to find one.

Therefore, what better way to get one than through monsters that the protagonist killed? With his luck, there was a high chance I could find one today.

Not so far from where I was, staring at me in confusion, Kevin couldn't help but ask

"What are you looking for?"

Snapping my head in his direction, pointing towards the area I was cutting, I rolled my eyes

"Isn't it obvious?"

after a bit of thought, Kevin

"A core?"

"Yeah"

-Spurt!
