Chapter106，Part1: 1 - Fun Vacation

Chapter 106 Fun Vacation?

Part 1

“Training is forbidden.”

“Ehー ?”

To the conclusion I made after thinking about it carefully, Liz was sitting on her knees while complaining and having a dissatisfied expression.

Now that I thought about it, my childhood friends were always doing their best.

I had never seen them cut any corners, from the time we were training in our hometown to become a Hunter to the time when we came to the Imperial Capital and faced many ordeal in order to gain fame as a Hunter.

Being able to do their best without cutting any corners may probably be another quality needed to be to be a Hunter.

For a long time, I had only been able to watch them do that. However, this time I had to tell them.

Tino managed to breathe again thanks to Sytry’s potion, but she was breathing roughtly while having a face full of wounds.

Until just now, she should have been scorched up to the point of having black smoke coming out of her but now there were almost no scars left on her. Her clothes were slightly scorched but their original shape was still maintained.

Sytry’s potions were what kept our hunting going until Anthem’s healing magic became somewhat powerful enough. It wasn’t as potent as Shrine-san’s 『High Elixir (God’s medicine)』 but its effects had been tested and validated.

Of course, it can’t revive the dead so it was Tino’s strength that allowed her to breathe once again but putting that aside, I can’t stand them doing anything more that could ruin our vacation.

I was not only thinking about myself. It was also for Tino, Liz and Sytry’s sake. It may not be convincing when it came from my mouth but it was sometimes important to take a break from training and rest your body and mind.

The carriage was quietly driving on the grassland with a weakened pace due to the rain.

There were no other travelers around us. Despite being daytime, the sky was still dim and lightning could be heard from a distance but the rain and the wind were much better than yesterday.

It was still unclear if another storm would hit us again but since it was a vacation, I would like to avoid sleeping under the starry sky.

Yes, it is a vacation! This time, it is just a vacation trip! It isn’t a training trip!

I have said it a few times, but Liz and the others still don’t seem to understand it yet.

Liz looked at me with upturned eyes without having any thought of having reflected about it (By the way, it seems that Liz was also hit by the lightning, but luckily she seems to be intact…… So that kind of thing can also happen huh).

“But Cry-chan, it was the perfect opportunity. If you don’t train it now, you will die when you need it, right?”

“It will be fine………… Probably.”

I did hear of training under a waterfall but I have never heard of a training where you need to be struck by lightning.

Moreover, it seemed that you weren’t being hit only once. Liz was happily talking about her training as if she was telling a funny joke.

Sytry, who was sitting with her hands on her knees and listening to us, opened her eyes as she had a sudden thought.

“…… Is it perhaps, a training curtailment?”

This is another word I have never heard of……

“It is to have less training and hamper your ability in order to experience a more life-threatening battle. This is what it is, right?”

…… It isn’t like that at all.

Her idea was exceeding common sense. My childhood friends seemed to be dyed with the color of being a Hunters to their core.

Liz was happy. Tino was looking at me with a look of terror.

“And if you die in the middle of it ―― I don’t need such an unskilled person. That is what you meant, Cry-san. I think it makes a lot of sense!”

“As expected of Cry-chan, so strictー !”

It isn’t like that at all. Why are you so happy, girls?

Tino dragged her body here and rubbed her body against me. Tino, who was struck by lightning and in a tattered appearance, looked at me with a face on the verge of crying, she looked a lot different from her usual appearance when she was a solo active Hunter. I want to hug you.

“Master, I, well…… I want to train…………”

“Aaah? Tiー, when Cry says it is white then it is white! I have told you so many times!”

Liz pushed Tino who clung to my side and scolded her with a high pitched voice. I was completely the villain.

Somehow, it seemed to have become white even though I didn’t say something was white…… I hadn’t been adventuring together for over a year, but I didn’t expect that it would have become so extreme. When I was eating ice cream, polishing my Relics and playing with Eva in the Clan Master Room, Liz seemed to have become a Hunter addict.

I had that feeling for a while but I would have never thought that they would forget how to take a vacation……

This was bad. Even her low sociability had been lost. If it continues like this, Tino may also be affected by it.

“…… I think that this needs to be rectified.”

One more purpose had been added to my vacation.

Teach them how to rest. wasn’t it a perfect job for me who was unrivaled when it comes to skipping my job.

Liz looked at me while her eyes were shining when I made a badass smile. It is not good. Even if you make such a face ―― I will stop you. I will show you that I will absolutely stop you.

…… Neee, isn’t it weird to smile after hearing me say that sentence?

Tino’s shoulder, which was pushed and thrown away, was trembling. After all, it seems that I shouldn’t have brought her even if Liz insisted on it.

“I will tell it to you from the start, okay? First, training is prohibited during this vacation.”

And then Liz raised her hand and asked me as if to confirm something.

“Neee, Cry-chan. How much training is considered a training? What about muscle training?”

“…… Muscle training is no good.”

“What about running?”

“……. Running is also no good.”

“Then then, isn’t wearing heavy clothes…… No good?”

“…… No good.”

Please stop finding any loopholes in my words.

“Hmmmー, what about a light mock battle? Does that also count as a training?”

“Does administering potion also count as training?”

Even Sytry was starting to play pranks. Didn’t I say that we were on a vacation…… It also counts. Every training counts. Enjoy your vacation a little more.

“It targets everything you do to become stronger.”

“!? Eeeh!? How about breathing? How about walking? Is it also targeted even if you do it unconsciously?”

“!? Would you also consider it training when you prepare means in case of being at a disadvantage? Is it training if you use people or mix potions?”

I was a little pulled away by Sytry and Liz who were seriously confirming everything.

Too much training was involved in their everyday life.

“Aaah. All this is training. It is prohibited.”

“Uh!!”

“Uh!?”

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Hahaha did you prohibit them from breathing and walking, how do you want them to live. You do know that they will follow all of your instruction even if you say to stop breathing right Cry XD

Tchao à plus!

Danmachi Episode 4 Review Corner

Spoiler Warning

Finally with this episode, Volume 10 begins!

For me there is still no drop of quality in the anime! It was a nice and slow episode with no battle but still good as there was a lot of exposition! Good to know that they left the part where Ouranos tells Hestia (Seriously, stop with the boob shot when we see her!) that Ganesha knew about the Xenos! GANESHA… DAA… DAa… Daa… He is so funny!

And that frame by frame, overly dramatic separation of Bell and Weine! It was well done!

Keep up the work JC Staff because now we enter into the serious stuff!

Footnotes

Curtailment: Here she just said restriction but as Cry doesn’t know what it meant I found a fancy word to say restriction.
