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

The Magi borrow the power of the Spirits to clear away the rubble. Yggdra, which has been in a state of ruins, is neatly cleaned up in just one day.

Originally, Yggdra’s townscape made maximum use of natural materials. For the people of Yggdra, who have formed friendly relations with the Spirits, rebuilding the city may not be that difficult as long as there is an abundance of nature.

There is no room for us in the reconstruction field. Instead, we (Or rather, Liz and the others) are in charge of patrolling the forest.

The barrier that has protected Yggdra for so long no longer exists in the current Yggdra. This is because it was destroyed from the ground up by Keller. There are many non-combatants in Yggdra. Since there are powerful mythical beasts and Magic beasts living near Yggdra, it is necessary to protect the city from these beasts until the city is rebuilt to a certain extent.

That being said, most of the intelligent Monsters have disappeared thanks to Keller’s influence. So there are not so many attacks that will make you required to have patrols. Patrolling the forest and thinning out the Monsters is like a hobby for Liz and the others.

Treasure Hunters love the unknown. Until now, they have been unable to move freely due to the presence of the 【Temple of Origin】, but the great forest in Yggdra contains many things that will pique the interest of Treasure Hunters. Unknown beasts, unknown materials. And the unexplored land is enough to make 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》 go crazy. Luke, who was depressed because everything ended while he was a statue, will probably regain his spirit a little bit. In addition, Gark-san would surely be delighted if we could bring back srecords of the area around Yggdra.

Since the end of the battle, Serene seems to be busier than ever. Leading the people of Yggdra seems like a difficult task, but the most difficult part seems to be re-establishing the barrier that protected Yggdra. Not only it is difficult to recreate it, but apparently, Keller has messed up the terrain so much that it can’t be re-established in the sway.

The World Tree problem has cto an end, but it seems that Serene’s days of suffering are still to come.

And I, too, am starting to miss the Imperial Capital.

Yggdra is a nice place, rich in nature, but there are no coffee shop that serve sweets, and you can’t go on a Relic tour. And by the way, the degree of safety――Is also higher in the Imperial Capital than in Yggdra.

Now that Luke’s curse has been lifted successfully, there is no reason forto stay in Yggdra.

There is nothing more I can do here. While everyone else is absorbed in the outside world, I talk to Serene in her mansion, which has been temporarily built in the place that used to be the plaza.

Serene, who has been working with dark circles under her eyes, narrows her eyes when she hears what I said.

“I see………… I feel a little uneasy, but if you are leaving, human, then it means it is really, truly over……” (Serene)

You are so skeptical…… Well, I can understand her feelings because I have had a lot of experiences where I thought things were going well, but then trouble arose (And actually, the reason I am trying to leave quickly is because I don’t want to get involved in any more trouble).

Now that I think back…… It feels like I stayed in Yggdra for quite a while. It feels like I have been moving around all the time……………… (In the end, I just went with the flow and didn’t do anything tho’).

Serene stops what she is doing, closes her eyes with deep emotion, and lets out a small sigh.

“No matter what the circumstances are, human, we are indebted to you. No matter what the circumstances are, you have produced results. No matter what the circumstances are, from recapturing Shero to defeating the gods――We owe you a debt that can never be repaid. We, the people of Yggdra, will forever pass on the stories of your exploits. Though the content of the stories needs to be carefully reviewed.” (Serene)

She said it in a manner that has a lot of suggestive meaning. This is…… She has accumulated quite a lot of stress, isn’t she? There are many things to point out, but no matter what the circumstances are, if Serene says so, then I will just accept it.

“Yggdra never forgets a favor we have once been given. If you are ever in trouble, we are always here to help you. Well, I don’t think we are enough to be of any help to you, human.” (Serene)

“………… No way………… Don’t belittle yourself like that. You guys are doing a great job.” (Cry)

“In fact, I would rather have your help. People are complaining about Luke Saikol running around the forest yelling, 『God, cout!』…………” (Serene)

Ah, yeah………… He will be back to normal soon…… Somehow I am sorry about him.

I am sure Luke understands that it won’t cout even if he shouts like that, but he really is a childhood friend who does not know when to give up. I think it would be fun just to be able to explore the forest, but I am sure he has a lot of issues that he can’t digest.

There Serene clears her throat and says.

“I don’t really know how to thank you――But you may take anything you want in Yggdra. Also, if you need anything, please cand seeanytime. Human, we have fought together and overchardships together. You may be from a different race, but you are undoubtedly――A fellow citizen of Yggdra.” (Serene)

“To be told that much by the princess who rules over the legendary city of Yggdra………… I guess I am not a total failure after all.” (Cry)

I don’t have anything in particular that I want, but…… It feels kind of strange when a Spirit People says that much about me. Serene gives a small smile at the words I jokingly put out.

“………… We, too, must change from now on. It may take time, but the restrictions on entry and exit will gradually be relaxed. We have learned through that incident…… That in order to fight against the gods, we need unity that transcends the boundaries of race! If you hadn’t come, the world would have been destroyed without a doubt. We will never make such a mistake again. I swear on my title as Princess of Yggdra!!” (Serene)

Serene is truly a serious person………… No, maybe this kind of personality is why all warriors in Yggdra obey her orders.

Surely, Yggdra will truly change from now on. She has a vision. A vision for creating a better future.

I don’t plan on coming to Yggdra for a while. Maybe I might never cback. However, I can only hope for this hardworking princess and for Yggdra to go even further ahead.

And that is when I remembered what Gark-san had askedto do. I half don’t really care about how it is going to end, but I should at least talk about it. It is better to gain sfavors when you can.

“Relaxing the restrictions on entry and exit…… I think that is a good idea. And…… If you don’t mind, how about setting up a branch of the Explorers’ Association here first? Actually, a branch manager of the Explorer Association askedabout it――” (Cry)
