"Well, a little."
Hulim nodded.
“Really… Eh—?!”
Mi Ke was dumbfounded.
Why is this answer different from what I expected?!
"Um... what did you just say... what did you say?"
"Um?"
Hulim tilted her head.
"Mike, don't you usually have good hearing?"
“… …”
"I just said you were weak."
"Well--!"
Miko felt as if an arrow had hit his heart.
"Not only are you weak, you also lack self-awareness."
"Well--!!"
The heart was hit hard again.
"Not being able to recognize your opponent is also quite fatal."
"Well--!!!"
"besides... ..."
"No! Stop talking! If you keep talking, I'll really die!"
Mi Ke hurriedly stopped him.
“… …”
Hulim just looked at Miko silently.
Then he said slowly:
"Do you still have the idea of giving up on yourself?"
"I... ..."
"It seems there is more."
"G-Gone! Really gone!"
Miko quickly jumped up, grabbed Hulim's shoulders with both hands, and shouted loudly.
"Really? That's good..."
Miko let go of Hulim's shoulders. After Hulim's action, her emotions gradually calmed down.

"Mike, there's absolutely no need to waste your time on meaningless people."
"Waste...time?"
"Well, like I said, you're weak-!"

"Huh?"
"Miko... compared to the Demon King, aren't you weak?"
"Well, that must be it!"
"Yes, compared to the Demon King, everyone in this world is weak. Even heroes need to work together to defeat him. But even if they're not the Demon King, there are many powerful beings below him, S-class, A-class, even B-class... Any one of them is beyond your current ability to defeat."
"But are you really weak? You have to know that your strength actually exceeds that of most people in this world. If you are weak, then what about those who are weaker than you?"
"So, don't be limited by your temporary strength, and don't be upset by your temporary lack of strength. I know you've worked hard in the past, and failure has made you very frustrated, but..."
"Miko...you will become stronger."
"Will I...become stronger?"
Mi Ke looked at Hulim and murmured.
"I will become stronger..."
"...But now those three people——"
"Don't worry."
Hulim interrupted Miko calmly.
"These three will not appear at the conference on behalf of the White Cat Royal Family."
