Chapter 119 Heart Pounding Vacation

Part 2

“…… Damn, I should have bought Ark with me……? That Ikemen?, he always isn’t here when you need him. Does he, by any chance, hate me?”

For what reason are you the strongest in the Imperial Capital. I am sure that if I tell him this, he will, for sure, make a wry smile. Liz, who called herself Ark’s rival, puffed out her cheeks *puku*. With her cheeks bloated like that, she looked more childish than usual.

“Whaaat? Don’t tell me you are dissatisfied with me, Cry-chan? Tell me if you are. It’s fine as I love you, Cry-chan.”

“No, not particularly…… Un, it’s enough. Liz is strong enough. Yosh, I think it is time to change our route. Let’s stop following the highway!”

Liz’s glint in her eyes changed and she leaned over me with a full smile on her face.

Well, Arnold. Should I show you my, Level 8 (Maybe) escape skills!

Are yah freaking serious……

For a moment, the man who was seated on the coachman’s seat and had the code-name Black, didn’t understand what kind of instructions he had been given to.

Until now, the journey had been boring yet peaceful. No especially powerful Monsters appeared, and except for the storm on the first day, the weather was pretty good.

Being on the leash, I was forced to always sit on the coachman’s seat but compared to being forced to wear that collar, their treatment was way too lenient.

The highway is flat and the Monsters are thinned out, so it’s basically safe here. However, once you step out of it, the level of danger increases by an order of magnitude.

“Bu-but, there are powerful Monsters in the Garest Mountains ―― It is too dangerous to go there with such a small group.”

“So what?”

The girl opened the small windows and laughed as she showed her face. Her clean and untarnished white skin and well-groomed appearance was so beautiful that, depending on the situation, she would have been preyed upon by Black and the others, but to Black and White, who was sitting next to him, they could only see a devil through her smile.

The Garest Mountains are a mountain range in the north of the Empire. Although the terrain is not that steep, it is known to be the home to a wide variety of Monsters, as a forest cover all over the foot of the mountains.

However, the biggest problem is the wide range of strength of the Monsters residing in that area ―― Among them, there are even some that even the most skilled Hunters can’t fight against without forming a group to fight it.

“There’s a path there, and the level of difficulty of the Garest Mountains isn’t a big deal compared to the Treasure Shrines we went through. If we eliminate the Monsters, it will become a shortcut. …… We even passed through there last time.”

“A short…… Cut?”

Impossible. I opened the map I had and stared at it.

Certainly, it will become a shortcut. Assuming that the destination is the other side of the mountains, if you leave the road and go through the mountain range and the forest at its base, you will save a day or two of time rather than bypassing the Garest Mountains.

However, even if we gained some time, it is only one day or two. There are old roads in the forest, but travelers will not choose the route to go through Garest Mountains as their first option. Even Hunters who have the ability to traverse it avoid it. Because it is too pointless and too dangerous.

Although Black and the other two are Fallen Hunters, they do have some fighting ability. It wasn’t impossible to go through the Garest Mountains, but it was dangerous to the extent that they would normally never choose this route.

No matter how much it was used to escape from Hunters, it is a measure too extreme.

“The-the destination is…… Where is the final destination we are going to?”

To begin with, Black and his companions don’t know their destination. They were just instructed to go straight down the road and were occasionally told the name of the town they were going to.

Sytry Smart gave a deep smile to Black when he was aghast, but still wanted to confirm their destination.

“Do you need to know? Please proceed. This is, Cry-san’s decision.”

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

It’s almost Christmas and the end of the year. Time went by so fast, I hope everyone got presents they wanted! Tomorrow it’s Christmas, but sadly you won’t have another Strange Grief chapter but you might have something shorter!

Looks like Tsukikage-sensei took one full year to write up to this chapter. He started on 27th January 2018. I still have more than 130 chapters to translate before catching up to him… The future is bleak… But I won’t give up (let’s hope so)!

Tchao à plus!

Ikemen: For those who don’t remember, it means handsome man/pretty boy.
