Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 47

47 レベル８

Level 8

The sand golem slowly changed it's stance, and faced our way.

It's imposing appearance armed with a sword and shield looked like some kind of god of death.

Apparently the sand golem phantom that was famous for being a small fry, gained considerable power when it became a boss.

If the huge body only fell over I would be crushed flat. The 『Safe Ring』 wasn't invincible.

…Why do these things always happen to me.

Before falling into despair, I first felt worn out. When I thought about it, since becoming a hunter I had only gone through bad experiences.

When I went to go view cherry blossoms, I thought I would die when a shrine suddenly appeared.

Well due to some pollen I immediately fainted, and by the time I woke up everything was already over.

The golem raised it's sword in a casual motion. The jet black sword covered the moon.

And like that, it swung the sword down into the ground as if to intimidate.

Fierce wind pressure assailed me and Liz. A thunderous roar as if the whole world was collapsing was thrown against my body.

I accidentally activated one 『Safe Ring』 even though I wasn't hit by anything. Crap.

I should have only come here after asking a trader to charge the Night Hiker and it was finished.

Because it was a simple shrine, and since Liz was also here I had gotten careless.

Liz frowned and held over her ears. She was in front of me, and even though she received the impact directly her stance was unswayed.

She was grumbling.

"…Tch. The output is high… I won't be able to take any hits. A new model? It isn't a phantom… 『Akasha』 huh. A troublesome thing as usual."

What's Akasha? Is it the name of the golem?

The huge column raised it's arms to it's head, and it's legs bent. At the human like actions, I reflexively took a step back.

And all of a sudden – the sky darkened.

The giant golem made a huge jump, completely blocking out the moon. It was nimble contrary to it's slow witted looking silhouette.

While I was astonished, the golem landed at a place ten meters in front of me.

It was like a meteorite had come down. My consciousness was paralysed by the impact of a monster suddenly appearing before my eyes.

I felt like patting myself on the back for still being able to remain standing.

Beneath the moonlight, it's imposing appearance became clear. It's whole body was covered in what looked like metal armour. At a glance, instead of a golem it looked like a heavily armed knight.

The only difference was it's size. Large compared to a woman with a small build like Liz, it had a physique around twice the size of a man like myself.

I had seen golems several times before, but this was my first time seeing one so gigantic.

The sword was black with a sinister red design running along the edge.

The face of the shield was polished into a mirror, and it was large enough to cover the majority of it's huge body.

The golem looked even stronger. Was there some kind of rule recently where phantoms had to wear armour?

The head had nothing resembling eyes. No, it's body didn't have any organs like those of a living creature.

I knew with the wolf knights that you could aim for the eyes, but this monster seemed to have no weak points.

Well, even if I knew them I couldn't do anything about it.

I have no choice but to ask for the opinion of Liz-san the expert.

Liz was really uplifted at the appearance of a monster that could never have been predicted.

Whether the enemy is a human, an insect, or a golem it's all irrelevant. She spoke to me in a voice that was a semitone higher than usual.

"Hey Cry-chan. Do you really want Tee to do this?"

She was a strict teacher. Disregarding normal Treasure Hunters, that was probably asking the impossible.

No, this would probably be difficult even for Liz.

The moment I started to say that, the golem standing upright leaned slightly. The high sound of metal being struck sounded, and I saw Tino land at the gap between it's feet.

Apparently she kicked it from behind. So aggressive.

The golem turned as if in an annoyed gesture. Tino spoke in a weeping voice that seemed like it could fade away at any moment.

"Master… it's impossible."

"…Yeah, that's right."

This wasn't even a challenge was it…

The golem turned and mowed it's sword down into the ground. The pressure from the sword gouged a hole in the ground, and Tino who jumped away to avoid the slash was blown away bouncing on the ground.

It wouldn't be odd if you were cut right in half if you took that strike. For an instant my breath stopped at the sight, but apparently it wasn't a fatal blow and she got back up straight away.

"Hm hm, I see…"

I nodded in a dignified fashion. I did understand but… it looked like it's appearance wasn't merely for show.

Large, fast, and heavy. It wasn't a phantom that would appear in a Level 1 shrine. Let's follow the rules properly.

The golem didn't seem to show much interest in Tino, and it turned in order to pursue us.

Liz didn't take the golem out of her sight, and spoke shortly.

"Should I do it? Or does Cry-chan want to?"

What's with those hellish options?

Well no, I wanted to do it but I was worried about Tino! There was no helping it.

"I'll take Tino and escape, so you do it."

The movement of the golem was definitely fast, but such a large thing could never keep up with Liz. If it was just Liz on her own, she could escape easily.

At my shameful words, Liz gave a small smile. Seeing it after a long time, it was an expression she often had when we explored shrines together.

And without hesitation, Liz flung herself at the monster much larger than herself.

The golem with a giant shield at the ready stepped back as if overwhelmed.

Without actually seeing it, it was hard to believe a girl less than half it's height could accomplish it.

Successive sounds resounded in the night sky as if a jack hammer was being used.

The true origin of the sound were kicks. A shield that covered the whole body of the huge golem. Liz's kicks continuously drilled into it. No voice was let out, but it's feelings were transmitted from the way it was standing.

Sounds so fierce they made me worry about activating a Safe Ring.

Each blow was so powerful that they didn't seem like kicks. It was simply monstrous. But the sand golem that could receive the strikes of a hunter that could capture a level 8 shrine was just as monstrous.

I mean looking closely, it's like metal. Since it wasn't sand anymore it couldn't really be called a sand golem…

The broad, slightly curved shield had incredible hardness.

It was only natural something made of metal couldn't be broken by kicks, but the limits of Liz's physical strength were no longer in that realm.

It wouldn't be odd for a regular shield to be destroyed by now, so it wasn't strange for it's defences to struggle.

However, the movements of the sand golem didn't stop. Perhaps experienced in receiving blows, while being kicked it swung down the sword in it's right hand.

The blade that had the power to make the ground tremble fell right over Liz's position, and shook the sky.

The sword bored deep into the earth, and the ground quaked. An angry shout came from behind the sand golem.

"Hey, Tee. Get out of here! Don't keep Cry-chan waiting!"

"Y-Yes. Onee-sama!"

When did she get behind it?

I didn't even notice watching from a distance, so from the sand golem's perspective it would have been as if it's target jusy vanished.

As expected, Liz's speed was overwhelming. With this, she'd manage somehow right?

Tino ran across the ground. The sand golem didn't pay her any attention.

It remained with it's back to Liz without turning.

It's head was turned towards me, the one person who wasn't doing anything.

A momentary flash of light was emitted by it's feet. For an instant, my vision was dyed white.

Terrific heat was slammed against my body.

With my vision white, I heard Tino shriek.

I only noticed I was attacked after my vision returned to black.

The golem had moved back as if shaken. I could see the area around my feet glowing red.

Apparently I had suddenly been directly hit by heat rays or something. And my safe ring defended me.

Sand golems were crazy these days… they also had long range attacks. Wasn't it supposed to be a small fry? Before and even now, if I made one mistake I would be dead.

For some reason the golem didn't fire a second attack. It had just gone rigid. Like it was surprised I was safe after receiving the heat rays defencelessly.

Of course a phantom golem shouldn't have any emotions so it was all my imagination.

A dull sound echoed, and the golem knelt. Liz had kicked it from behind.

"There's no way something like heat rays are going to work on Cry-chan! This shitty small fry! He surpassed attacks by magic long ago!"

Is that right? I surpassed attacks by magic? …It was the first I was hearing of it.

With loud metallic sounds, the body of the golem clattered as it twitched.

It had put it's hands on the ground to get itself back up, but it couldn't rise. Liz's kicks wouldn't allow it.

There was more force used than when she had been kicking the shield. I guess she couldn't restrain her anger after seeing I had been attacked.

If she could, I wish she would do so before I was attacked, but there was no such luxuries.

I mean, wasn't this a little bad? That golem wasn't damaged at all.

A sturdy phantom was Liz's natural enemy.

Her way of fighting – or rather, the thieves style was to lead enemies by the nose with quick attacks and agile movement, striking at vital areas.

Liz was absurdly strong, but this opponent was without vital points so her affinity with it was bad.

Being able to kick it into the ground was incredible, but the situation was poor. Golems didn't appear to feel pain or fatigue, so defeating it without taking damage didn't seem possible.

While being attacked from behind, it raised the sword in it's right hand high.

And then swung it down towards me.

The distance between me and the golem was about ten meters. No matter how I thought about it, there was no way it could reach.

As I was being careless, the tip of the sword struck beyond it's original reach.

That guy threw it's sword. The moment I understood that, my 『Safe Ring』 deflected the huge sword away. Wasn't it's accuracy way too good?

My eyes were submerged in almost total darkness. Now as I was prepared for death, my heart beat like an alarm. Even if I knew I was protected, there was no way to get used to the verge of death.

Now I had 『died』 twice.

The deflected sword rolled several times on the ground raising a cloud of dust.

Concealing my shaking arms and legs, I folded my arms and gave a nihilistic smile imitating Liz.

"There's no way this kind of physical attack is going to work. I'm level eight you know? It's not even worth avoiding."

Well, I can't do anything either though… Was that hard boiled?

The movement of the golem stopped a second time. No way, was it at a level where it could feel nervous? I feel like golems had really progressed lately.

The number of remaining safe rings was four. I needed to escape without receiving any further attacks. …My legs wouldn't move.

"Master!"

With good timing, Tino leaped over panting for breath.

Even though she crossed in front of the golems line of sight she wasn't attacked, was this the difference in our daily lives?

I was attacked even though I didn't even do anything.

Trembling as if she was upset, I caught Tino who jumped over to me and tried to calm her down.

Her eyes were teary, her complexion was pale, her hair was dishevelled, and her equipment was dirty even though she didn't seem to have any injuries.

I noticed she was also holding the Relic she had discovered in her right hand. A model hunter.

However, having a junior rely on me like this caused an indescribable sense of superiority to well up. My shaking legs regained power.

I felt a sense of duty to protect this junior no matter what it took.

Though this junior was several times stronger than me.

"Teeeeee-! Just how long are you going to cling onto Cry-chan!?"

"-!?"

Certainly we were full of gaps, but that's not how to talk to your disciple on the battlefield. Such a strict teacher.

Tino shook as if she was struck by lightning, and slowly separated herself. Her face looked like she would cry.

But, we needed to escape. Even crying, I thought Tino would still be faster than me.

The golem rebooted. In resignation it turned to face Liz and struck down with it's arm.

Of all things, Liz used it as scaffolding to climb up and send it's head flying with a kick.

The huge body lost balance and fell to the ground. Liz was also sent back a great distance from the recoil, and landed splendidly on the ground.

With just Liz here I felt a sense of security. I waved my hand her way.

"Liz, I'll leave it to you ok."

"Yes-. …Tee, do it properly. Kill."

"Y-Yes! Onee-sama!"

All Tino had said since earlier is "Yes", "Onee-sama", and "Master".

The golem got up. It also couldn't seem to endure having it's head kicked off.

The legs that had been kicked also didn't seem to have any noticeable damage. Did it have any weaknesses?

I checked over Liz who was standing grandly, then without any reservations I took Tino by the hand and ran away.

What is that monster…

Noto shuddered at the image projected by the crystal ball.

The interception system Noto created with his disciples was a tactical type golem.

It was created through continuous research and by not sparing any expense. It cost enough money to buy several high grade relics, and he was confident it was at the forefront of golem architecture.

It was adequate to be put into use by the 『Tower of Akasha』 that unraveled the mysteries of the world.

Presently there was only one made, and the kingdom's knights were no match for it. It could even overwhelm multiple high level hunters.

The land battle model golem 『Akasha』 was designed to respond to any situation.

The specialised whole body armour covered every weak point including the joints, and could withstand the bombardments from civilisations advanced in science.

The main weapon clasped in it's right hand was the 『Sword of Truth』. It was made from a rare metal with extremely high affinity for magic, and its sharpness had been magically enhanced.

Using the vast stores of mana within it, physical strength was produced and released through slashes that could bisect an opposing blade.

The defensive armament, the 『Shield of Judgement』 was Sophia's idea.

For 『Akasha』 that had it's whole body covered in a special alloy, a shield shouldn't have been needed. But since she firmly insisted, he decided to accept it.

Constructed from metal one step stronger than it's armour, it was particularly resilient to being cut. No matter what Relic was used it wouldn't be able to be penetrated.

For thieves that moved faster it could fire magic rays, and it had a function that could use it's internal mana to form a temporary barrier. It was crammed full of features to the point it was excessive.

It was to the degree that even the 『Tower of Akasha』 that valued knowledge and research admonished them.

There was absolutely no way they could lose. It was the system created as the last defence in an emergency.

Even if it was a hunter certified at level eight they still wouldn't lose.

But that self confidence had been smashed to pieces in a few minutes. Noto's disciples that had absolute confidence just a short while ago had pale faces.

『Severed Shadow』 that opposed Akasha without receiving a single hit was also astounding, but above all –

"Impossible… Both physical and magic attacks show no effect!"

If they were evaded they could understand. If he defended himself then it could also be acknowledged.

However, Infinite Variety received the attacks defenceless. And in spite of that – he was unharmed.

The heat rays were simple but difficult to avoid, holding the same power as advanced attack magic. Even a high level hunter couldn't take a direct hit without resistance.

The thrown 『Sword of Truth』 was the same. Simple but difficult to defend against.

"I-Is it some kind of Relic!? No human can survive the attacks of Akasha unhurt!"

"But, he did it twice. It might be possible to block one using a Safe Ring, but is there a Relic that can defend against the attacks of Akasha multiple times!?"

"There is no chance it was a mana barrier right?"

"He didn't use any magic arts. Damn, what kind of trick is it?"

Watching his disciples in fear and disorder seeing the mysterious person, Noto sighed at the unsightly state of affairs.

Before the unknown he felt curiosity more than fear. Rather than curiosity, it was an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

This time his second and third most reliable disciples were staying in the lab to operate the golem, his best disciple wasn't here.

Most of all, the observing familiars that should never have been able to be noticed had been seen through.

Not only the sand rabbits that were used to watch the vicinity, but also the saimos that were used to monitor the outer area to a certain extent.

Akasha was their mental support.

One of the disciples spoke with a quavering voice in terror. It was a disciple that was particularly passionate in creating Akasha.

An expert in golem creation. It was because of that he had confidence, and also precisely why why he couldn't endure the current situation.

"Look at his expression. Look how much leeway he has. The way he's so defenceless is like he's begging us to attack! I-It's really like… he thinks we're not worth anything. Like we're insignificant."

"It's just a coincidence. Forget it. Akasha… still hasn't been defeated yet! It's the realisation of our research. Right now they're retreating from the golem, okay?"

He rebuked his shaken up disciple sharply. But, he understood that his words weren't very persuasive. To sum up the current state of things with the word 'coincidence' was too much.

His disciples regained composure from his strong words. They probably understood that arguing about it was futile.

"B-But, Infinite Variety – he said the rabbit owner was inside the burrow, it's – too late, he knows that – "

"…There are a lot of sand rabbit burrows around here."

Translator Notes

I feel like a modern equivalent to hard boiled would be 'ice cold' or something. But saying hard boiled lends it a cringish 'pretend' feel that I'm not sure was intentional.

Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 48

48 レベル８②

Level 8 ②

Within the darkness, I ran without looking back and without being able to see.

It was stressful. The sound of my heart felt frightfully nearby. I exhaled white breath that floated hazily in the dark.

A curtain of total darkness had descended all around.

I had been barely able to see in the faint moonlight before, but now a thick cloud had covered it throwing the area into near pitch black.

The grass was tall and overgrown, making the ground exceedingly hard to run through.

I simply recklessly rushed through it.

The only thing I could be sure of was the feeling of Tino's hand gripped in my right.

There were intermittent distant high pitched metallic sounds coming from behind us, indicating that Liz's battle still wasn't over.

Was it a really strong enemy…? I stifled down a sense of powerlessness I hadn't felt in a long time.

I didn't abandon her. I truly didn't abandon her. My combat abilities were worse than garbage. If even Tino was just extra baggage, then this was the best choice.

If I could use Relics I could offer some support but… After all, I really shouldn't go outside without Relics.

Right now I could use the Safe Rings and the 『Dogs Chain』 that had been recharged.

And also the one I didn't use in the White Wolves Den with a single charge of magic stored… I really couldn't fight against a monster like that.

After running for some time, when the noises became less audible I finally came to a stop.

I didn't know how far we were because I couldn't see anything, but with this much we shouldn't get hit by any sudden attacks.

Behind me, Tino matched my pace and came to a stop.

Unlike my rough breathing, Tino's was undisturbed.

Tino didn't say anything, she only looked up at me with pure eyes watching me breathe heavily.

Her gaze was like she was condemning me for leaving her teacher behind, and I gave an involuntary sigh.

I had always been depending on my friends. My level 8 status was from their achievements – like a house built on sand.

But it's not like I had ever depended on them because I wanted to. Liz and I were old friends. I always tried to give my best up until the last.

I spoke while conscious that what I was saying sounded like an excuse.

"It's okay. Liz alone is enough for that. Tino, we should do what we are capable of."

"Yes. Master."

This wasn't an unsightly desertion. It was a strategic retreat.

As if understanding, Tino nodded with a serious expression.

Now that things were calm, one problem remained.

While getting my breathing under control, I turned around taking a look at our surroundings.

Where was this?

From the beginning, the one that had guided me to the shrine was Tino. I wasn't even sure what direction the way back was.

If I could see the main road I could probably work it out, but as it was I could barely see a few meters ahead of me.

My good junior was just staring at me silently. Looking closer, what was in her eyes wasn't blame but expectation.

Her eyes were sparkling as if she was with the person she admired. It must be because Liz had been blowing so many half truths into her ears. It would have be better if she was condemning me instead.

It was a bit like this back at the White Wolves Den too.

It was good I was able to stumble upon the injured people coincidently that time, but I didn't think it could work out like that once again. I felt like throwing up.

I raised my white flag. Putting on a facade, I spoke with a hint of warning to my voice.

"Tino… I am weak."

"…Yes… Master is weak!"

…It's fine for me to say, but when it's said back so readily it feels a little different.

"B-But, for people, power isn't everything you see."

"Yes. Power isn't everything!"

Tino's eyes are wide and she's nodding. Apparently she's just agreeing with everything. Are you a devotee?

As I felt foolish I checked with her straightforwardly.

"Tino, do you know which way the Capital is?"

"?? Yes. Of course, it's that way."

Do you have a compass inside you?

Tino blinked curiously, and then pointed diagonally right in front of us as if it was only natural.

Looks like this time we didn't have to backtrack. Well that's right. No matter how poor my sense of direction was, I couldn't escape in the wrong direction every single time.

"Tino, I'll rely on you to be alert!"

"Yes. Master!"

Thank you for your energetic reply. But Tino stayed in place and without moving forward.

I waited for a moment like that, and then gave more directions.

"That's right. I guess I'll let you lead the way as well."

"Eh!? But I'll just be in the― …Y-Yes. Please leave it to me Master."

Is she someone that can't move without being instructed? Someone that couldn't move without orders or Liz-chan that moved on her own, which one was better?

"There's no need to hurry. You don't need to run, just take it slow. I don't think it's a problem for you, but it's dark around here so take care ok."

"…Yes. Master."

I gave additional orders. It was a bit pathetic, but I was already worn out.

If I needed to run it wasn't as if I couldn't, but I wanted to preserve my stamina for when it was important.

Under my directions Tino began walking cautiously, as if to smother the sound of her footsteps.

Tino was dressed in black from head to toe, and had black hair. If I carelessly lost sight of her she would assimilate straight into the darkness.

If I strayed away from Tino here it would be the end. I followed her small back closely.

The pitch black darkness coiled around us like a monster. It was as if only where we were had been cut off from the rest of the world.

I should have at least replenished the Owl's Eye with mana. But it was too late for regrets.

"Um… Master. That golem earlier… what was it?"

While walking, Tino spoke in a breathless voice.

I wouldn't know something like that.

Maybe it was a boss that rarely appeared, but for it to come out at a level 1 shrine was like some sort of scam.

It was possible that Tino or I had pulled it with bad luck, but regardless once we returned to the Capital we really had to update the records.

But while I had no recollection of it, Liz had seemed to be familiar.

Yeah, what was it she had said-

"That one huh… Right, it's 『Akasha』. It's a golem with a little bit of power, so it's only natural your attack didn't work."

I gave Tino a quick answer. If I answered her with total confidence it would help ease her anxiety.

Decide when it's time to decide. That was the way 『Infinite Variety』 does things.

"Akasha!? It can't be, you mean the infamous 『Tower of Akasha』…?

Tower of Akasha?

I frowned at the name.

It was a name I really hadn't heard before.

She said it was infamous, so I supposed it was, but unfortunately it wasn't in my memory database.

Tino had spoken seriously. Around the Capital there were a few infamous organisations (I mean, Strange Grief was also infamous). Judging from her voice though, it should be a well known one.

But it was probably unrelated to this matter.

That had been a phantom. Just a boss. I had never seen such a huge golem created before, even by Sytry that had been crazy about golem research for a time.

In the first place, it was a golem that could rival Liz who had taken on a level 8 shrine. Even someone like me unfamiliar with alchemy could tell it wasn't something that could be created with current technology.

But there was too little information to say they were completely unrelated.

It seemed like a connection was there because the names were similar. I probably couldn't say they were completely unrelated. No, I could.

I answered with a fluffy reply. I would check the details over with Liz afterward.

"It's not as if they're unrelated, but when I said 『Akasha』 I meant it was the name of the golem. It's only natural Tino wouldn't know it… I don't know the full details either-"

"W-Why, does the likes of you know that name!?"

"…Eh?"

At that moment, in a place where no one else should be, a third voice cut in. It was the voice of an elderly man.

In the lead, Tino lowered her stance and unsheathed her dagger.

The plains north of Zebrudia were vast. Furthermore this was far from the main road. There shouldn't have been any people around.

Not knowing what was happening, I stared with amazement in the direction the voice had come from.

And, I saw something incredible.

"Im…possible"

"…Pu~" (withheld laughter)

A hoarse voice. Impossible is what I should be saying.

Why? Before I could ask that question, I couldn't hold back some laughter from coming out.

From a hole in the ground―― the hole Liz had previous called a sand rabbit nest, the upper half of an old man in a grey robe was poking out.

A man. His wrinkled face spasmed, and he glared at me like I was his parents enemy.

I wasn't sure why but it was just too funny.

The situation was like a horror, but I was weak to surreal things like this.

While I was smirking, the old man crawled out of the hole with unbelievable sprightliness for his age.

Tino raised her left hand and stepped out in front as if to protect me.

"What's with this mana… just an ordinary person."

He was saying something, but he couldn't be talking to us.

"?? What's this? A rabbit?? Did you come out to make us laugh?"

I didn't get it. I was aware it was a rude thing to say having only just met, but he was also just as bad.

What do I do? While I was grinning in confusion, more robed people crawled out of the burrow.

He wasn't alone. No matter what age or gender, they all crawled out with desperate expressions on their faces. It could only be called a comedy.

"Master"

Tino called out to me. Unlike me that couldn't stop smiling, her face was deadly serious.

A single trail of sweat fell down her face, giving her graceful profile a cold impression. She looked like she would jump at the others at any moment.

Hm? Was this… bad maybe?

As I thought that, the group that came out of the burrow took up stances.

Looking closer, these people seemed like Magi. Robes and staffs. There were six people.

Because of the darkness I couldn't make them out well. However each of them held a staff, and stood a few meters in front of Tino and I as if to block the way forward.

Hmm???? Hmmm? What was this situation?

"Infinite Variety, why are you here – no, more importantly, where did you hear that name! It's a weapon that hasn't been put into combat even once – It's impossible!"

Everyone was on edge except me.

The leader of the group, the old Magi, shouted indignantly. Why did he know my alias?

…It was bad of me to laugh, but I didn't think he had to get that angry.

Tino was holding her dagger menacingly so I touched her shoulder and stood in front of her.

The old man and his group stepped back as if pressured.

I didn't really know why it was like this, but I needed to sincerely apologise. Even if I didn't think I was the one at fault.

I felt like hunters lacked the skills to avoid conflict.

"Aah, this was my bad. It was totally our fault. I wasn't considerate enough. I was just surprised, because I didn't think humans would come out of a sand rabbit nest."

See, if you apologised like this the other party would also understand.

"!? W-What did you just say!"

"No well, you see, generally no matter who it is, you wouldn't expect to see so many people fit into such a tiny burrow right? My bad. I didn't mean to step on you like that."

It was weird… I apologised to the old guy (perhaps a sand rabbit researcher or something) but his face became even more distorted and red. I could understand even in the darkness, so he must have been that much angrier.

"No, It's not like I'm trying to look down on you or anything. It's not wrong to go into burrows and there's no law against it. Yeah, I also think it's a magnificent thing."

"D-Didn't you hear what I said, I asked where you heard that name!"

We couldn't… communicate. Well, self important nobles were everywhere.

I was a small fry, but since I was level 8 I had some experience meeting with prideful nobles.

Liz and the others had been banned from places before for getting out of control.

The old man probably wasn't a noble, but from the way he carried himself he could be upper class.

However, what name was he talking about?

I crossed my arms, and observed the old man. Could he have overheard what Tino and I were talking about earlier?

To put them at ease I spoke with a calm smile.

"You mean 『Akasha』? If it's that… I heard it from a friend. They're an excellent little one."

"…What…did you say…"

The old Magi's eyes went wide, and he ground down on his teeth. Wasn't his reaction odd?

Mmm… Maybe we didn't know what the other was thinking because the gap in our ages was too big.

I gave a quick glance back at Tino, but she was also still on guard. Well I guess anyone would be on guard if a suspicious group of people suddenly emerged from a burrow.

Maybe these people were afraid of the huge golem? From their expressions I saw subtle lines that didn't give me anything else but that impression.

Pointing my thumb out to the noises continuing behind me, I spoke in a gentle voice.

"Aah, it's ok. If it's that golem then don't worry, my friend will finish up with it soon. If you want to, we can go back to town before it's done with…"

"-…"

After trying to calm them down, the elderly man's expression really hadn't softened at all.

He was shaking with rage. He must have high blood pressure.

Perhaps it was time for my kneeling down for forgiveness skill?

However, I didn't know what I was supposed to apologise for, so as a Master of kneeling down I couldn't permit myself to. My adorable junior was also watching.

While I was having difficulty, something cold went down my spine and made me shiver involuntarily.

This was – the same feeling as when a phantom or monster was in front of me. It was what they called killing intent.

…I didn't mean to make him so angry he would want to murder me.

"You, dare, to mock me――! Who do you think I am――"

It came. Don't push on his pride. Don't push on his pride…

I answered while smiling without any hostility.

"I know. Since you were in sand rabbit nests at this hour – you must be the famed throughout the Capital, sand rabbit researchers right? ...Actually, I'm a fan. Please give me your autograph."

"-…I-I'll kill yoooooooooooou!"

"Eh-!?"

The old Magi raised his staff overhead and shouted in a rage.

Was I too unreserved!?

Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 49

49 慈悲

Benevolence

Thick murderous intent washed over me, and Tino slid out from behind.

Her body moved left and right using intricate footwork to plunge herself in front of the old man.

A Magi's specialisation was long range magic attacks. Even if they were advanced enough to use chantless magic like Lucia, they stood no chance of victory against a thief from that close distance.

Tino brandished her dagger without hesitating. Perhaps not expecting the girl I was supposedly protecting to come out and attack, the old man was unable to react.

The honed edge of the dagger gleamed in the darkness. Her clear eyes had pushed aside any emotion – she was completley ready to kill. Oi oi, this is bad.

"Tee-! Those are completely ordinary people, take it easy on them!"

"…Eh!?"

"It's the duty of the strong to care for the weak. Don't forget to pay respect to the elderly!"

"!?"

Tino swung down her dagger, but the old man used the tip of his staff to divert it away. Because of my interruption she must have lost force halfway through. But even so, that must be one spritely senior citizen to be able to turn away Tino's blade like that.

The old man who escaped with his life made an expression like his eyes were caught on a demon, and backed away.

Tino shouted in a voice of confusion not knowing what to do.

"Master!? Those are not, ordinary people!"

I know, I know. In the end, Tino was Liz's disciple.

To my childhood friends, even when the opponents were ordinary people like this, if they opposed us they became enemies to be killed.

Even if the law permitted, I wouldn't tolerate it. My morals still hadn't degraded to that point yet.

"I know! But don't kill them! If it's you, you should be able to do it."

"I can't do it!? They're Magi!?"

"Aah. But they're only people that research sand rabbits you know!"

"Infinite Variety… how far, do you plan, on mocking us!!"

Why must they direct their murderous rage towards me, when I was the one protecting them from Tino?

I just wanted to work this out peacefully. It would make more trouble if they lodged a complaint with the authorities later.

If there wasn't a good enough reason, self defence against civilians wasn't recognised for hunters. One of Footprints motto's was not to lay a hand on ordinary people.

There has to be some sort of minor misunderstanding!

We could work things out if we just talked it over with each other!

I looked towards all the Rabbi-pros (short for sand rabbit professionals). They all had the eyes of prey looking at a beast.

Reaching an understanding was impossible.

"They aren't my opponents! Please be gentle-"

As I was speaking, the area suddenly became bright.

A man standing behind the leader was raising his staff. A burning blue flame was floating at it's tip.

It wasn't me that was in his line of sight. It was Tino, in disorder between my instructions and her teachers.

Are you serious…

The attack magic of a Magi was powerful. Due to chanting there was a delay before invocation, but once cast it would exceed a melee attack of similar skill.

To make things worse I couldn't hear any chanting. Chantless magic was an advanced skill. Why did people that just researched rabbits know such a technique?

Tino's eyes caught onto the sphere of flame. At that moment, the pale ball was fired.

Could she evade it? She may be able to. She may not. I couldn't make such a judgement.

I kicked out at the ground. I didn't hesitate. I knew enough about the power of a Safe Ring from my time as a hunter until now.

I leapt forward and shoved my body in the line of the magic's fire.

I activated the Safe Ring.

A fierce blast as if the world was ending swept out in front of me. The grass in the vicinity was vaporised in an instant, and the impact depressed the ground.

"Master!?"

Tino screamed. I put out my hand to stop her from leaping forward.

"Don't worry. It's no problem. I don't have a scratch."

But, that was dangerous. That flame sphere just now hadn't just been for self protection.

Even for a hunter that had absorbed Mana Material, it held the power to kill or severely wound them. It couldn't be endured without a Relic.

I pacified Tino who had a pale face, and turned towards the Rabbi-pros. To my gaze, the man that had cast the magic took a step back and dropped his staff.

Offensive power of only that degree. I was confident.

The 『Dog's Chain』 hanging from my waist was clattering and shaking as if an enemy had appeared.

I brushed around where the flame sphere had hit me, and raised my voice.

"That was clearly an attack just now. Against me it had no effect but―― I'm not sure how I hurt your feelings, but you had better leave things there. If you go any further than this, then I'm also going to start having some ideas."

"-…"

Safe Rings were rare. Even if people knew they existed, not many had seen the moment one was activated. I should be able to bluff.

I observed cautiously. At the rabbi-pros reaction, I was astounded within.

They weren't shocked. They had strong vigilance, and a little fear. This was my first time seeing a reaction like this.

Showing fear was bad. It was hard to predict what a person engulfed in fear would do.

If they all started firing magic together, I would turn into charcoal just like that.

I continued negotiations.

"…E-Even though things are this way, I'm a hunter. I have a reasonable amount of power. It would be simple to turn you all into charcoal. It wouldn't even take a second.

However, I'm a philanthropist. I was starting to get a little irritated because you attacked my junior, but I hold respect for everyone that studies sand rabbits. That would be boring for me… something like that, I truly couldn't do it. No, I'm not trying to make fun of you. It's only natural to pay respect to people that can do the things you can't."

"Master, such amazing provocation skill. Only from you."

At my desperate persuasion, Tino murmured some praise. I'm wasn't provoking them though.

I cleared my throat, and tried to tie things to a close.

"…That is, what I mean to say… is that if you leave now I'm willing to overlook this. You guys don't want to be arrested either right?"

"Master!?"

"-…What was that!?"

The leader's eyes were peeled back. His two pupils were gleaming in the dark.

Similar to a sand rabbit, but far more repulsive.

It was fine. There was no reason to fight. I was tired of this situation I didn't understand. Please just leave.

"I'll forgive and forget that last attack. We'll just call it even since I accidentally laughed at you. It was just unfortunate for both of us that we met each other this time."

"Call it… even? What are you, planning?"

I'm not planning anything, even means even.

I could understand if I was being attacked by a phantom, but I didn't understand why humans would attack me. I didn't remember ever giving someone a reason to hold a grudge.

The old Magi was silent. I had compromised as much as I could. If this still wasn't good enough, then I had no choice but to resign myself to battle.

Tino stayed quiet even though she had a dissatisfied look.

She was the one who was attacked this time. I'll take you out for ice-cream later.

"If we go back, we would have to leave this place."

Saying so the old Magi came to a decision.

"Kill Infinite Variety! Make him regret he ever mocked us. It's impossible to be unharmed after receiving our mastery over magic! It must be a trick!"

"-….Yes!"

His throat went dry giving an absurd order. Apparently my prayers went unanswered.

His subordinates behind him answered all at once. As for the old Magi himself, he kicked at the ground and retreated while facing this way. He intended to escape by himself.

If you were going to run away anyway, it was fine if you all just escaped together… Wasn't it terrible telling them to kill?

From their expressions it wasn't a joke. I also didn't plan on taking my pacifism that far.

I didn't remember ever mocking them… but they didn't seem to plan on letting us go.

The subordinates all raised their staffs up. Their faces were stiff, and there was a person that was shaking.

But, none ran away. They had resolved themselves for death.

What kind of group were these rabbi-pros? …Their discipline seemed on par with the regular orders of the Empire knights.

I rush forward silently, and grabbed Tino's arm trying to protect me. Tino's eyes went wide, and she looked up at me.

If it was Tino she could probably defeat a few of them. But there were a lot of them, it was unlikely.

I breathed a deep sigh ―― and prepared myself for the worst.

I looked like this and I was level 8. I wasn't an opponent against phantoms, but against regular people I could do anything.

I had overcome the level certification exams. What I said about turning them into charcoal before was a lie, but when I said I had my own ideas that wasn't a bluff.

My Relics were mostly exhausted of mana. But I had one trump card remaining.

I was glad I didn't use it in the White Wolves Den.

I had planned on keeping it aside until Lucia returned, but at this point it was impossible to persuade them using words alone.

Hanging from my neck, I took out the pendant type Relic from beneath my clothing.

A gold pentagram, set with an inlaid crystal. Jet black like the night sky swirled within the clear center.

『Realise Outer』. (Kanji: Longing for a Far Away Land)

The Relic's origin, was a tool created by an engineer that had a deep yearning towards magic.

At the huge cost of about one hundred times the amount of mana originally needed, it could store one magic art.

That ridiculous ability could be released at any time.

Most of my abilities came from the wealth accumulated by Strange Grief.

However, this was the most extreme of them all.

What was contained inside could crush an entire area flat except for the ones touching the caster. Advanced level gravity magic.

The person that charged the magic while always complaining, was the Magi with the strongest offensive power in Strange Grief, Lucia Roche.

My――younger sister.

Because storing magic was it's peculiar trait, it was a Relic that had an exceedingly slow rate of mana loss.

It was a trump card for when Lucia had to be away from me for a long time for whatever reason.

I was told to only use it in a crisis where my life was at risk.

If it was discovered I was using it against some ordinary people, there was no doubt Lucia would scold me.

She might not speak to me for several days.

But if I didn't use it here, even if this could be worked out somehow… I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

I gripped Tino's arm and pulled her towards me.

I looked over the Magi with confidence. Just like the original creator of this Relic would have wanted, I would use the power as if it was my own.

The Magi start forming magic with their staffs. Fire. Ice. Lightning. Wind.

Arts that were simple yet highly lethal.

And they were all chantless – it was incredible that all of the rabbi-pros seemed to be top class Magi.

But, I wasn't worried.

"Have you guys――ever seen the greatest attack magic in the world?"

At my words the Magi were startled and their eyes went wide. But they didn't stop their attacks, and fire them off silently.

Sound stopped. My thoughts became distant seeing the various colours of light approaching, and I released the magic within the Relic.

However, the ground shook only once. With just that, everything was over.

The Relic didn't have a visible effect. No intense lights and completely soundless, it just released the stored magic.

The rabbi-pros that had been aiming at us before were lying flat on their backs.

The number of people – was five. They showed no external injuries, but with a closer look you would realise there was a tremendous force from above, pressing them into the ground.

The entire area became like a vacant lot. Plants and anything else was flattened down as if being crushed.

The only one standing with me was Tino, who had been excluded from the effect since she had been in contact.

The approaching attack magic had been snuffed out like the flame of a candle, vanishing without a trace.

Magic was a phenomena that used mana as energy. If two Magi were to cast magic in the same place, the weaker art would be smothered.

Which meant that the 『trump card』 I received from Lucia greatly exceeded the magic of all the rabbi-pros.

Well, it seemed like a surprisingly dangerous group, but the difference between hunters and ordinary people was way too much.

Pressure (kanji: Gravity Magic) was an art that manipulated weight like the name suggested.

I wasn't certain of the full details, but it was an obscure magic. And among the many different arts it had an especially high degree of difficulty.

Although useful, in pure destructive power it was a step below other magic, the level of interference was higher, and it's mana consumption was large.

Only a handful of Magi had mastered it according to Lucia.

Regardless, I stored the Relic with gravity magic instead of something destructive. That was because the art was suited for human 『suppression』.

Gravity magic indiscriminately interfered with everything, dampening released attack magic and able to stop a vast amount of opponents while killing as least as possible.

It was a power unsuited for phantoms, but that was fine since I didn't enter shrines alone.

This time the Magi were twitching as they laid out flat, without even the room to raise their voice. But they still weren't dead.

『Realise Outer』 could only release stored magic cast by the original Magi. I couldn't adjust the power, but it seems like it was cast in line with my request for it not to kill anyone.

I was worried since she had recently been going through a bit of a rebellious phase, but as expected of Lucia. Your big bro is really happy.

Perhaps because he was further away then the others, the leader of the rabbi-pros had only fallen to his knees. He was looking up at me dumbfounded.

His staff had dropped from his hands and was sunken into the ground, but he still seemed able to move.

"-This is… a magic… art!? Pressure!?"

If I acted modestly I would be slandered with some unwarranted false accusations.

I immediately spoke while caught up in the moment.

"Looks like you didn't die… it was worth choosing a magic of low power."

"This is absurd… Impossible! For I who was called a sage, to pass through my barrier so easily ―― you little, …so you, were a Magi!?"

Was his anger being suppressed by shock? His eyes were opened to their limits, and he was staring at me as if looking at a monster.

A sage? Was this senior, actually a famous and upright person? Was he a forerunner of the sand rabbit world?

…Well either way, the ones at fault were the quick tempered rabbi-pros that attacked us when we didn't do anything.

I regretted getting carried away a little, but after coming so far I couldn't just step back and pretend everything was fine.

"A Magi? I'm just – an ordinary hunter."

Pretty hard boiled right?

Tino who had been silent for a while now looked up with teary eyes. Since I had held onto her shoulder, Tino hadn't received any effect from the gravity magic.

She was probably sad looking at the master of her clan act immature. Don't look at me with those eyes… I was wrong. I just wanted to look cool.

"Impossible… For I, for Noto Cochlear who absorbed Mana Material and obtained power ― with chantless magic ― damn it!!"

"Eh? Was he going to stand? Did I go too easy on him…?"

Yeah. I guess Lucia held back too much?

The renown rabbi-pro gave out a groan, and slowly got to his knees. But from his expression, it was obvious he was overdoing it.

His eyes were wide, and he was gritting his teeth while drool fell from his lips.

The atmosphere was strained. Terrific spirit.

The ability of the Relic was to cast magic without a chant. But the power should be the same as when Lucia uses one.

Even though she made adjustments, to be able to stand up in Lucia's 『Over Gravity Frame』 wasn't ordinary.

It wasn't lethal, but there should still be damage done.

I had used my final trump card. Gravity magic didn't last that long, and I was already out of ways to attack.

But in stead of feeling flustered, I felt pity. I spoke while looking down on the old man benevolently.

"You should stop already."

"What… did you say?"

I had no idea why he was that angry with me.

But no matter how much they opposed me, I had no will to harm them.

My group was always causing trouble for regular people.

"I have no intention to quarrel with you here. I'm a hunter. People like you are not my opponents – not sand rabbit researchers that dive into burrows loving rabbits."

"-......"

For some reason the old man bared his teeth, and looked up at me with blazing eyes in extraordinary fury. But it didn't look like he could get up and walk.

The limit. That body was already at it's limit. If he forced himself too hard he would do irreparable damage.

In the first place, with Tino here he had no chance of success.

At that moment, some words crossed my mind.

Stop. Don't say it.

I warned myself, but I made a slip of the tongue. And whats more, I had a full smile.

"...We were attacked, but I'll forgive you for today. Now, I won't hurt you anymore so… go back to your burrow."

Ah-, I said it. I knew it would fan the flames, but it was a bad habit.

It was probably stress built up after being falsely accused and struck by magic.

"-…Kill. I will, kill you! To insult! Our! Akasha! You will regret your mistake!"

As I thought, the old man was furious. The emotion in his eyes was hatred.

A truly villainous face. The world was a strange place for such an old man to be researching sand rabbits.

The precise moment the magic cut out, the old man regained his stance. But the after effects on his body remained.

"…Prepare… yourself! I, Noto, will make you regret, ever releasing me!"

While making a passing threat in a shaky voice, the renown rabbi-pro (perhaps their chief) introduced himself disoriented, and turned his back to me.

If he's said this much there probably wasn't a danger to my life anymore. I felt relieved.

And, realising I had forgotten something, I released the 『Dogs Chain』.

It had been constantly making noise for some time now, and as if thinking the same thing as me it raced across the ground, and wrapped itself around old Noto's feet.

Tripped up, Noto-san tumbled grandly to the ground. I pointed to his companions as he twitched there.

"Wait up. Take care of your collapsed friends properly. If you leave them here the sand rabbit researchers will turn into sand rabbits themselves."

"I don't think they will, Master."

In a small voice, Tino muttered a few words.

Translator Notes

Rabbi-pros – in Japanese it says 'Rabbiken' for the Japanese nickname Rabbit Researcher (Kenkyouka).

I tried several english versions Rabbi-chers(researchers), Rabbi-techs (technician), Rabbi-ists (scientist). I liked Rabbi-techs the best but it doesn't really make sense to be a rabbit mechanic.

Katakana strikes again. Lucia's last name is ロジェ. I probably sounds like Rodge I think? Google translate puts it out as Roger. But I thought that was ロジャー.

I figured it could stand as Roje or Roche… not really I guess. Oh well.

Chapter 50.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 50.1

"You said… you know nothing?"\n

"Yeah. It was bad luck. But well, you are safe, so it is fine."

After hearing the situation, I gave my honest though and Sven held his head.

After that agitated night, all the main member involved in the investigation of the 『White Wolves Den』 were gathered inside the clan master room in the clan house.

There was Sven, the one who took command over there, his reliable party member, 『Iron Cross』, and a few hunters from other parties. Gark-san and his right hand, Kaina-san. And a familiar researcher from the Empire's 『Relic Investigations Division』.

The clan master room also serve as a reception room, so it is spacious, but it is rather small when a large number of people gather there.

Maybe they lived something really awful, Sven and the other faces were portrayed with an intense fatigue.

Looks like while we encounter a strange golem and we were receiving attack by a group who was hidden in a burrow, it seems they were also involved in some trouble.

Originally, their purpose was already annoying, as per the request they have to do an investigation, but I can at least give them my sympathy.\n

According to them, it seemed like I was hiding information and that create more problem, but even if they say that it troubles me.

If I was really hiding some information, it couldn't help if they were angry at me, but I really don't know anything.

While watching the investigators frustratingly stomping their feet, I helplessly sighed on top of the sofa.

Is it because I am a level 8, I am often overrated. I am used to being complained.

I am relatively incompetent. If I don't train my body too much even my memory will not be good. Moreover, my luck is the worse.

For a hunter who is not looking for a fight, I am a respectable man (And this is not a quality to have as a hunter).

Even if they told me that some strange magic organization did some experiment, that is outside of my scope of expertise.

Fortunately, no one died, so my only concern was one thing.\n"That slime-like phantom didn't dissolve with Sytry's potion, right?"

"… Yes. There was any effect at all. Don't kid with me!"

Sven spit that to me.

I know more than anyone the effectiveness of Sytry's potion. If her deadly potion didn't work after being hit by it, it mean that it was not Sytry's slime.

The dreadful phantom who attacked Sven and the other just looked like a little like a slime, it was just a coincidence.

But where did Sytry's Slime go…?

Gark-san, who was seated across the table and had been quietly listening until now, raised his head with his vein popping up and said.

His tone was calm, contrary to his scowling expression. But he can't fool my eyes. Gark-san is seriously pissed.

\n"… It is fine for me. Please do it?"

Well, I have been involved in a lot of things, so, I have some experience with proving my innocence with a Relic.

There is no pain and I have nothing to hide so if they want to investigate my psyche, it doesn't bother me at all.

To me who was undisturbed, without taking out the Relic, the researcher scratched his thorny hair. His eyelids are cramping.

"… Damn. That's enough! How do you pass the Relic test! Always and Every single time."

Even if you say that…

Every single time, the Relic proves me right and they looked at me as if they saw a terrible nightmare. I am just not lying…

Thank you for reading this. As you know Redshare404 stopped translating it because Redshare404 doesn't have time anymore, so I am starting to translate this. And now that I started to do it, I really appreciate what Redshare404 did for us. So once again thank you.

Sorry if it is only one part but each chapter of this web novel is seriousy long almost 5000-character O.o

Ok see you in next part!

Chapter 50.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 50.2

Sven overlook the others. Apparently, I don't have any ally this time, Sven and Gark-san all watch me with a severe look. I turn my head to looked at Eva who was behind but looks like she isn't my ally either. She shakes her head vertically with a trouble look.\n

What should I do...? All I am saying is that I don't know what I don't know… … It seems like an emergency, so I can't lie my way out.

When I am confused, Gark-san sighed deeply.

"We suspect the secret organization who did the experiment to be the 『Tower of Akasha』. I heard that you, 『Strange Grief』, are after them.

『Tower of Akasha』? I recently heard that name. Moreover 『Strange Grief』 are after them, you say? I am at least paying close attention to my party but... It's the first time I am hearing this. I am twisting my neck for a while, but as expect I don't remember hearing that.

"Where does this information come from?"

"Looks like Talia heard it from Sytry. 『They are the enemy of Strange Grief』. Among them, two mages named Noto Cochlear and Sofia are troublesome."

The little girl who was waiting in the back shuddered when she heard those word.

I have heard of Talia. It is not my acquaintance, but it is Sytry's friend, and a rare Alchemist in our clan. Sytry is a special kind of person so I was a little worried as her friend, but I remember feeling relieved when I heard she made a friend.

I lightly wave my hand in her direction, I though a little and told Gark-san who was waiting for my word with a serious expression.

"Sorry, I don't remember... But if I don't know about it, doesn't it mean it isn't that big of a deal. And it is not like Sytry tell me every single thing."

"Tsk… Damn. Do you want to do those trial of yours, to that point?"

Gark-san strongly hits the table.\n

I am sorry. I am sorry to be so incompetent.

I know the member of our clan have lived terrible thing because of me and called it trial to poke at me. I am not doing it on purpose… It is not done on purpose. Even if I say that, they will not be convince, but it really is just bad luck.

I can't do anything now that the magic fuel inside my Relics are empty…

I think someone from the Rabbit Fellows was called Noto, but I don't know anymore, my assumption was that they were the Sand Rabbit researcher, so I didn't ask anything more. It is because I have mastered a certain amount of my essential skill, my ignoring skill. In the first place, a magic organization who burrow themselves inside a Sand Rabbit burrow, what kind of magic organization is that?

"Okay, this is it"

This is when the door next to the bookshelf opened and made a small noise. The one who showed up was Liz. She comes closer to us. Her strong muscle on her long and slender limbs makes her a powerful beauty. She suddenly encountered a serious scene but there is no sign of her shrinking.

Liz looked over all the gathered people and smiled.

"Cry-chan is tired, you can ask about it with me later. A lot happened on our side … It is good, right?"

"… Ah, I am leaving everything to you Liz. If something happen you can let me know later"

The usual Liz doesn't listen to anyone, but she doesn't only have this peculiarity. Liz's power as a hunter exceed mine in everything. Even in term of knowledge she is superior to me. I can leave the rest to her with relief.

Since I can't do anything, it is better to leave everything to her.

"Yes. As it will bother Cry-chan if we do it here, I will listen to you downstairs."\n"Wait a minute, Liz…"

"What? Gark-chan, are you dissatisfied, when I am the one answering"?

To Gark-san who said something, Liz crossed her arm and shut him only with her gaze.

The two investigators said nothing. They know they are insignificant.

However, Sven was stunned by Liz attitude.

Un, Un, you are right. If it were the usual Liz, she would have already cut them off…

Today Liz is in a good mood as her mood before was a lie. The only shortcoming is that it only lasts little, she is only temporarily alleviated; Liz don't have the time to stay in a good mood like this.

"…Did something happen"

"Hm…? Ufufu… Does it show?"

To anyone who know the usual Liz, seeing her now anyone would have asked the same question.

When Sven asked her, Liz made a full smile.

When she glances at me who was all messy, she put her palm together and say.

\nThe only one who was left is Eva, who was silently listening to the report. The clan master room, which was so full suddenly feels wider.

"… Was it okay?"

"Well, it will be fine one way or another… Until now, it was always fine one way or another."

Everyone in the clan, except me, are talented so I can rest easy.

Now that nobody was left, I immediately put both my leg on the table in a comfortable way and sighed.

Footprint is overwhelming. Even if the Rabbit Fellows (provisional) is a terrifying magic organization and decide to gather and attack, we can handle it. This time I understand the cause of the uproar, until Lucia comes back and recharge the magic inside the Relic, I will not do anything dangerous, I cross the summit.

I don't want to think about exploring any Shrine for a while.

After only one exploration my shoulder was stiff, so I massaged it, and I recalled what I asked Eva before and turn around to ask her.

"By the way, did you look for a delicious ice cream store in the Empire, as I have asked you the other day?"

There you go part 2 of chapter 50. Thank you for reading this.

Rabbit Fellow: For the Rabbi-ken, It was translated as "Rabbit Pro" but I change it to "Rabbit Fellow" from "Rabbit Fellowship" because Lord of the Ring XD. But if they say Rabbit Kenkyusha it will be translated as Rabbit Researcher.

Chapter 50.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 50.2

What should I do...? All I am saying is that I don't know what I don't know… … It seems like an emergency, so I can't lie my way out.

When I am confused, Gark-san sighed deeply.

"We suspect the secret organization who did the experiment to be the 『Tower of Akasha』. I heard that you, 『Strange Grief』, are after them.

"Where does this information come from?"

"Looks like Talia heard it from Sytry. 『They are the enemy of Strange Grief』. Among them, two mages named Noto Cochlear and Sofia are troublesome."

The little girl who was waiting in the back shuddered when she heard those word.

I lightly wave my hand in her direction, I though a little and told Gark-san who was waiting for my word with a serious expression.

"Sorry, I don't remember... But if I don't know about it, doesn't it mean it isn't that big of a deal. And it is not like Sytry tell me every single thing."

"Tsk… Damn. Do you want to do those trial of yours, to that point?"

Gark-san strongly hits the table.\n

I am sorry. I am sorry to be so incompetent.

I can't do anything now that the magic fuel inside my Relics are empty…

"Okay, this is it"

Liz looked over all the gathered people and smiled.

"Cry-chan is tired, you can ask about it with me later. A lot happened on our side … It is good, right?"

"… Ah, I am leaving everything to you Liz. If something happen you can let me know later"

Since I can't do anything, it is better to leave everything to her.

"Yes. As it will bother Cry-chan if we do it here, I will listen to you downstairs."\n"Wait a minute, Liz…"

"What? Gark-chan, are you dissatisfied, when I am the one answering"?
