It turned out that Kurtlich was quite the quiet man, making the recording rather bland as he softly recounted his stories. Apparently, for programs in the Silver territories, that sufficed. There were both cheerful adventurers, and those who were more serious and somber, like Kurtlich. Displaying the various kinds of adventurers born from a world that was as cruel as it was kind was how the Silver Broadcasting Station chose to do things.

If this had been done in the Liston territories, we would almost certainly have tried to spice it up somehow. Bendelio didn’t like it when our shows were too plain.

“Sorry. It must be boring talking with someone like me.”

We had finished recording the three of us making some camp food and giving it a taste test—that would be all for the day. Now that the cameras were off, Kurtlich could finally relax as he sat across from us around the campfire. It hadn’t shown on his face, but he must have been more nervous than I thought.

“Don’t worry about it. We’re not really looking for excitement on this kind of show,” Reliared, still in work mode, reassured him with a model answer.

“I wanted to hear more about your work, if I’m honest. Not like this chance comes every day.”

“Nia,” Reliared immediately stepped in to reprimand me.

Now just hold on a second.

“It’s not my place to criticize how a different territory does their work, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to be overly considerate. Mr. Kurtlich responding to your call means he came here with the intent to tell his stories, no?” That was why it was important to help drag those stories out of him. Though...I didn’t dislike this quiet and laid-back camping atmosphere. In fact, it was the first time I had experienced it in this life. I thought it inappropriate to ruin it with pointless chatter.

But we had come here for work, and that meant we had a job to do. All of us did.

“But...” Reliared glanced at Kurtlich. Deep inside, she seemed to have the same opinion as me, at least. Perhaps I should help give a little push?

“What do you think, Mr. Kurtlich? Do you wish to talk more?” I asked directly.

“Of course. That’s why I was called here, after all. I’ve been paid, and I’d love to talk more, but... Sorry, I’m not very good at conversation. I’m not sure where to start.” This was a start though. “I’ve seen magivision before, but I don’t have anything worth talking to people about, or any fun stories. In truth, I’m not even sure why I was asked to appear on this program in the first place. I still came because the broadcasting station was insistent, but I can’t help but feel like maybe...this isn’t quite for me.”

That. That was perfectly fine. That was exactly what should’ve been said in front of the cameras. That was a topic. That would become the cue for a topic. Conversation flowed by connecting one topic to another.
