Naidrian.

A high elf archer from the Elven Forest.

Apart from large-scale firepower, she is surprisingly the second most powerful member of the Hero’s party, right after Lucy. While Arsil, as the Saintess and the party's healer, stands out with her boxing skills, Naidrian is skilled in maintaining a precise distance and calmly cornering her opponents, shooting arrows from their blind spots when they least expect it. Her in-game performance is quite efficient.

Despite this, she ranks low in popularity because she has little presence unless she is with someone she’s really close to, making her almost seem like she has communication issues. While the porter’s gimmick is that he is openly ignored, Naidrian’s character is tinged with innocent sadness—her words are often overlooked, but her comrades always try to take care of her.

Furthermore, her scholarly personality often leads her to overthink things, so when she speaks, she tends to jump ahead by a few steps, causing misunderstandings or leading people to think she’s boring.

This is happening now as well.

The reason she kept clearing her throat at Lin was to let him know someone was there so he wouldn’t be startled when she suddenly called out to him. Her warning about keeping quiet because it was a place for reading and research was meant to indicate that there were ears everywhere, and their conversation might be overheard.

Of course, only Lin, who had played the original version of Arrogant Saga countless times to clear the porter’s route, could understand this.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It’s nothing, Lucy. She’s just warning us that it’s particularly quiet here, so our conversation might be overheard."

Lin gently explained, trying to calm the agitated Lucy.

Naidrian was greatly surprised that his explanation matched her intentions perfectly.

However, rather than being impressed, she became more wary of Lin.

Her cautious gaze made Lucy even more irritated.

‘Should I kill her?’@@novelbin@@

Because of her prayer to the goddess of Epalteria, she couldn’t do that.

The prayer was to spare Lin while seeking revenge on everyone else except Reinhold.

Of course, it was only a promise not to seek revenge first.

If Naidrian continued to provoke her like this, she was ready to snap her neck without needing to use her temporary Holy Sword.
