‘I have no value here, haaa…’

His suggestion to set up a budget for them was blatantly ignored by Alex first, and since Miss Rin could not get in between the two of them, she did not speak anything.

Misha and the little creatures did not even understand what a budget was so they were just running ahead with Alex and now, he was walking behind them, with Sera on his shoulder.

‘That girl…’

Alex just walked inside the shop without any hesitation and behind her, the little creatures- with Miu inside Az’s slime body- also jumped in.

Miss Rin waited for him but he told her it was fine to go ahead with his eyes, and with a sigh, Miss Rin walked inside the big shop as well.

[{ “Do you think I have any value here, Sera?” }]

Value– it was a big word, especially to the natives of this world who directly connected it with the importance in this world and their own life.

He walked inside the big shop, questions about his worth troubling him.

He knew he was not much visible when the rest of them were around, but until now, Elio had just taken this as him experiencing this new world that She loved.

One of the reasons he started with this specific game was because of her love for this world that he understood very well, but after meeting her in Moongold, seeing the world from how she saw it, the experiences they had together have been quite different from what he had expected.

[{ Of course master! Of course you have value! }]

[{ “Haha, right. Of course you would say that.” }]

Most of the time, she overshadowed him.

He was not as familiar with this world as her, he was not as powerful or unique as her, and he also did not have any objectives to become a progression narrator until now.

He understood that perhaps much better than she did…

[{ “Tell me, Sera.” }]

They were inside the shop now, and as always, Alex was choosing all the things that they would need for this dungeon run.

She was with Misha, the people around them in the shop did not like a Slime jumping around so she was also holding Miu and Az, and now that they were shopping for something they would need for an important dungeon run, Miss Rin was also helping them.

Elio on the other hand, was in the back. Watching them and looking around as he mostly does.

[{ “I’m not a strong narrative driver, am I?” }]

[{ … }]

What he wanted to say and what his servant understood were simply if he had any unique presence among the countless normal people around them.

[{ “Tell me honestly. I will appreciate an honest answer.” }]

Alex had experience of this world, she was strong, she had so many things to tell that there was no better presence around them other than her.

And just like Alex, Miu and Az were special, Miss Rin had her secrets, and Misha was a knot that tied everyone together.

If Olive was here right now, she would have a better presence than him as well since unlike him who liked to stay at the back and watch them, watch the world around him, and experience this world, she would take part in every little thing that happens around her.

[{ Master, you are amazing. If you want, you can be the center point even stronger than someone like Alex. }]

She knew how instead of someone who had many secrets, someone strong, or someone special, someone who did not know a lot of things, someone who had no experience, and someone who was looking, hearing, perceiving everything around them would be the best narrator there is.

But, unlike someone who would want to be That person, he liked to stay back, click screenshots, and just smile at the cute things around him.

When he was with her, unlike the real world, he had no need to act or come in the spotlight.

[{ “But that’s the thing na, Sera. I’m faulty because I willingly do not want to to be That voice.” }]

They were finished with their shopping on the first floor, so they moved on to the second one.

And when they were done there as well, they looked around the third, forth, and fifth floor, but there weren’t many things that caught any of their attention, so with Elio walking at the back, they all moved to the top floor where all the birds were living freely without any cage.

There were ID check-ups first and other procedures, but again… thanks to some new kind of ID Alex had, they were able to get past a lot of things a lot quicker than they would have.

[{ “Look at those birds, adorable creatures.” }]

He clicked three screenshots as soon as they entered the floor and later, many more.

The adorable birds, the fierce birds, the small birds and the big birds. He took grouped pictures and he took single pictures.

Some photos came out good so he immediately pushed them in his Liked folder as well.

That was what he did most of the time when nothing much was happening, and right now as well, he was doing the same.

[{ “Haaa…” }]

Sera wanted to say something, tell him there was nothing wrong with him being invisible among them, but she could not find the right words to put her thoughts into.

[{ Master-. }]

[{ “You don’t have to try that hard, Sera.” }]

He smiled at her, and shook his head as he watched the starry eyes of their younger friends.

[{ “Do you see how Misha is smiling?” }]

As if she liked all the birds around her, she was trying to talk to every single one of them.

Unlike Miu and Az, she surely did not get any special response from them, but she liked these birds. And, only he could see the unique smiles she had for every bird around them.

[{ Pardon, master? }]

[{ “Haha, I’m just saying if you can tell how Misha smiles a little differently for each bird around her. Or, how Alex is currently thinking about something completely unrelated to these birds… or how the soft eyes of Miss Rin have nostalgia in them at the moment.” }]

He saw a lot of things.

When it came to human emotions, when it came to colors and angles, he knew what he was seeing.

But Alex did not see this world the same way he did.

[{ I… Do not understand it, master. }]

And the same was true for all of the people around him.

[{ “Simply put, Sera.” }]

Sadly, Misha loved all the birds around here. So, she could not choose just one of them.

“We can look at the birds in the other shops when we reach the city, Misha. How about that? There’s a bigger place just for the birds.”

“Really~? Yes~! Let’s do that, Sister~!”

[{ “Everyone has a POV.” }]

He did not know if he had any worth in this world yet. He was not anything special yet, did not have any special strengths, and he was not like the rest of them.

But, just like the rest of them, he also had his own point of view. And that point of view had unique ways to perceive things.

[{ “I know I’m not as effective of a narrative driver as the rest of them. What I have to offer is very personal and it’s not as dominant as the cuteness of the gecko-slime duo, youth of Misha, Experiences of Alex, or anything like constraints of the past that Miss Rin has.

I like to keep what I have.” }]

Like these screenshots and like the feelings that he does not talk about.

[{ “But…” }]

He was looking at a certain bird for a while now. It was a pretty green owl that had been sleeping and ignoring the rest of them since a while ago, something he found interesting, so he was trying to Observe it.

[{ “I don’t like it when she outright ignores me.” }]

The way she ignored his suggestion about the budget got on his nerves. But he won’t tell her that since she knows about it already.

[Ding!]

Observation finally resulted in Identification.

============

[Green Flin Owl]

-A Flin bird that has been trained very well.

============

He will just do what he usually does not. And make her pay for ignoring his genuine suggestion and once again splashing tens of gold on barely useful stuff.
