Reincarnated as a... Completely Average Person?

Chapter 21 Magical Musician?

Kotori was sleeping in today

"Why?" you ask?

Because Mari won't dungeon dive with her

"Weird right?"

Kotori was equally confused as well.

It all started a week ago. It had been a month since Kotori asked the boss if she could leave the village. She would still go on dungeon diving trips with Mari and Amelie but there was no difference in her situation. She was beginning to worry about whether or not the boss had actually taken her request to heart.

That was until one day when she went to meet up with Mari and Amelie as usual. Mari only told her

"We're not assigned together anymore"

"What does that mean?" Kotori asked confused

"It means I'm no longer responsible for you," Mari explained despite her curt tone Mari seemed a bit sad over this fact.

"Who decided this?" she asked

"The boss" Mari answered

"What am I supposed to do then?" Kotori asked even more confused

Mari shrugged her shoulders

"Not my problem"

Then she walked off with Amelie and others.

Kotori was unsure of what the bosses intentions were with this order

[Is she trying to push me away?] She thought

Upon thinking further Kotori didn't think it made much sense

She decided to take this time as a well-earned break.

This is why Kotori is currently sleeping in right now. Kotori herself knew she was a lazy person and she happily took her free break.

Still, there was a bit of anxiety in her heart. Ever since the order, the boss was looking at her with an expectant eye, but Kotori didn't know what she wanted.

When she tried asking the boss if she could leave the village but the boss still denied her request.

Kotori's life had returned to her pre-training lifestyle every day she lazed about and waiting for Amelie to get back.

It was rather comfy.

But still, Kotori was still feeling as if something was off. This was obviously meant to teach Kotori something but she is not sure what it meant.

Although Kotori was physically 8 years old she is mentally around 40 years old.

Although she was technically quite mature. At this moment she felt more like the child she physically looked like than the adult she mentally was.

[For someone who's so simple-minded she's rather abstract in her thinking] Kotori thought about the boss.

Still, Kotori was getting bored and started roaming the forest herself. With Shu, there wasn't much danger of running into beasts. She also had a general idea of where all the main dungeon spots were and thus could avoid many of the different dungeons herself.

Still, she went to the smaller dungeons and would occasionally kill the few beasts that spawned out of them.

She now was aware of Kotori's need to get the last hit on monsters and would leave them in a half-dead state for her to kill. Since her roaming in the forest Kotori's stats had grown a little, But it was still slower than her.
