Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter235，Part1: 1 - Solution

Chapter 235 Solution

Part 1

The two pursuers were waiting in a common area on the ground floor of the inn, looking like ordinary people.

However, Gark-san had a terrifying face, and the Baa-san, who burns everything, had an aura of a champion around her, so she was tremendously intimidating.

The atmosphere of a big merchant or nobleman is different from that of an excellent Hunter. This is probably the reason why there is empty space around the two of them.

As soon as he saw me, the look in Gark-san’s eyes, which was bad enough in itself, turned into that of a criminal.

The expression on the Baa-san’s face did not change that much, but I knew that she was an arsonist who would burn her surroundings when she is in the mood to do it.

There is a part of her that thinks that as long as you don’t die, it is okay to do anything she wants, and if she kills you, there would be nothing left of you so it is also okay.

I am sure that she destroyed the city during their clash with a magic organization during my vacation, but the fact that she is able to walk around out in the open like this makes her much worse than a mere criminal organization.

A space had formed around them that I would normally never approach, but Lucia was pulling my hand, so there was nothing I could do about it.

Somehow my stomach, head, and heart hurt. My body was heavy. I wanna puke.

Sytry pulled out a chair for me, so I sat down. Then I let out an involuntary deep sigh and said.

“Gark-san………… Do you have nothing else to do?” (Cry)

“Haaaaah!? You open your mouth and that’s the first thing you say!?” (Gark)

“I am not free, you know……” (Cry)

“Leader, please be serious about this.” (Lucia)

Lucia chided me when I was completely giving up. Maybe have no allies…… I turned my gaze to Sytry who was standing nearby, but Sytry was just *nikori* smiling.

You are wrong, you know. I don’t want you to smile.

Normally, this would be a scene that would attract strange stares, but as one would expect, everyone is skilled at avoiding danger, so no one is looking at us.

A few customers even quickly ran away.

《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 who tilted her teacup with graceful movements said in a hoarse voice.

“I didn’t want to interfere with the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, either. It is an exciting and bloodthirsty festival, even I used to compete in it to be the strongest.” (Rosemary)

“I heard about it, Rosemary-san. Moreover…… I hear you are banned from it since you burn down the audience.” (Sytry)

Does this Baa-san have any limiter…… Seriously, our Liz and Luke are still better in that case.

That Baa-san stared at Sytry because of her sarcasm, which she said with a big smile, but she immediately looked back at me as if she had regained her composure.

I feel like I was being stared to death even though she was just looking at me. The power of her eyes is tremendous.

“《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, it is your fault for leaving before we had a detailed meeting. But…… Well, fine…… I do not know if that was your intention, but I was going to come to Cleat in the first place.” (Rosemary)

I don’t mind if you forgive me, but why do I not have the right to veto this meeting? Is it because of my fame…… You are valuing me too much.

I *chirari* glanced at Sytry and Lucia, who was *jii* next to me and staring at me.

Thanks to that I regained some of my composure.

Let’s think calmly. This time is better than last time.

Unlike last time, when I was suddenly abducted to 《Hidden Curse’s (Ma Tsue)》 Clan House, this time Sytry and Lucia are here.

Sytry is the brain of the Party and Lucia is my barrier. She is my ironclad shield that completely covers me, even against stray bullets. Above all, this 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 Baa-san is a bit lenient when facing Magi who are like her.

In any case, they will come after me even if I run away. Let’s settle it right here while the two of them are still with me.

I badassly say.

“So, what was it already? Was it something about a fox?” (Cry)

“Idiot, don’t mention their name here. You don’t know where their ears might be. Let’s change places for now. I’ve rented a conference room at this Explorer Association branch.” (Gark)

What a hassle…… In the first place, what is the fox?

At this point in time, I don’t really understand the important part. I had been meaning to ask, but it was something I didn’t want to do, so I kept putting it off.

I know that it is an organization so crazy that it is trying to assassinate the Emperor, but I don’t really understand the dangers of secret organizations because they are basically out of my league.

Are foxes in rage these days, I mean, we have Fan Club and Treasure Shrine about foxes? How many organizations are there? You have to make it easier to understand.

Why don’t you just find them and burn them on your own? What do you want me to do?

Yeah, I know.? Even if I say I don’t like it, you are still telling me to help you, right?

Gark-san and that Baa-san probably don’t have enough manpower, so I will lend you Anthem. Return him to me immediately after, okay?

I could not speak out against these two people, so I kept silent and argued with them in my mind, but that was when Sytry interrupted me.

“Ah, that is what you are talking about. Gark-san, if that is the case, all the preparations are already over.” (Sytry)

What…… Did you say!?

“Muh…… Did you tell Sytry?” (Gark)

“………… I didn’t talk, but we have been together since childhood, so.” (Cry)

With all my might, I suck up Sytry.

My reliable Party brain is looking at me with a *kirakira* twinkle in her eye.

I don’t really get it, but it seems that Sytry had finished preparing everything before I knew it. As expected of Sytry, as always, thanks for everything!

………… Will it really be alright, tho’?

Sytry smiled confidently and smugly.

“Real first class ends thing before it even begins.” (Sytry)

“Kukuku…… Big talk, you little girl.” (Rosemary)

Contrary to my anxiety, Sytry provoked Baa-san with a cute face.

Certainly, no one is better than me when it comes to being done before it even starts. In a bad way, though.

Their gazes collided with each other. Lucia also silently stood still.

Indeed, indeed. When you don’t understand what is going on, it is best if you keep quiet.

Gark-san says in a low voice and with an irritated smile.

“What did you do, Cry? Tell me what you did in detail.” (Gark)

“I, didn’t do anything, you know.” (Cry)

It was Sytry who did it. But when did she do it? How can she guess what I haven’t told her? I take my hat off to her insight.

I wonder if the reason she looked so busy since she came to this city was because she was preparing for this? I am sure she was busy with the preparation for that matter with the Aburaage, but Sytry sure is awesome.

Sytry is awesome. Sytry is really awesome.

“Everything is already in the palm of Cry-san’s hand.” (Sytry)

…… I am *kurukuru* turning the palm of my hand, but is it really going to be okay?

Don’t tell me you are just saying some random stuff? It will be a problem if you tell me later that you were just spouting random stuff, do you?

Those anxieties passed through my mind for a moment, but I have faith in Sytry.

“Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)

“And Cry-san said he would give me an organization as a gift!” (Sytry)

TL notes:

Moreover if she is getting the Kitsune, who know what kind of experiment she will do with it!
