Chapter 57.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 57.1
Recently, I have been unlucky. There are ups and downs in people's luck. When it is up, whatever you do, it will go well. When it is down, casual action will lead to a bad result. Despite me, I have been a Hunter for a few years so I have the sensation that I can feel those ups and downs.\n
I am a Hunter, but I am mostly in the Clan management, so I rarely explore Shrines. And despite that, I went outside two times in such a short period of time. Something happening every time I go out is the usual, but I am sure that I am on a downhill right now.
What I need to do right now is to charge my Relics.
If Luke restart his training in the deepest room of a Shrines, Lucia will not come back before some time. Most of the Magical Power of my Relics are exhausted, and I have already used my trump card I received in case of emergency. There are only a few 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger) 』 I used to protect myself, left. Usually I will lock myself up and roll around in the Clan House waiting for Lucia's return but considering my recent condition, it is quite dangerous.
The question is how to charge over 500 Relics I have in my possession.
Originally, the magic recharge of a Relics put a great burden on the Hunter.\n
Relics requires tremendous magical power in proportion to its enormous power. If it is a normal Hunter, their limit is often one or two charge, and even a Mage excelling in magic can charge up to five or six. Those who have exhausted their magical power have the urge to pass out and can't even stand. If you are not used to it, it is even possible that you lose consciousness. In a Shrine, magic exhaustion is one of the state Hunter must be careful about.
Therefore, Hunters do not possess many Relics. Even if your companion "Magi (Madoushi Mage)1" can charge it for you, there is a limit. In the first place, Mage use magic power when they want to use spells. They don't have room to spare.
Magic power slowly recover naturally when eating and sleeping. This is why, it is often mistaken, but magic is a valuable resource for Hunters.
Above all, the problem is… Their numbers.
If it was one or two it would be fine, but with more than 500, it is doubtful if I can charge everything even if I called for all the Mage in the Clan. Inside the Imperial Capital, there are many Mage who sell their service to charge a Relic, but they can't even charge up to a tenth of it. Well, they would refuse first because they don't want to pass out.\nIn that sense, My Imouto… Lucia who always charges my Relics is a 『Special』 Mage.
The amount of magic power required depends on the Relic. And the Relic which requires a particularly large amount of magic power is the 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger) 』.
It prevents one attack. It is a simple yet powerful effect. It is a Relic anyone would want to have, just in case. But as expected of its power, the 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger) 』 requires a great amount of magical power. The quantity is around… five to ten times more than an average Relic. It is not a quantity an average Hunter can charged. And this is one of the reasons why Barrier Finger are rarely used.
But I can't go on without charging it. Barrier Finger are my lifeline. If I don't have it, I would be dead at least ten times in the last few weeks.
Anyway, for some reason, Sytry-chan, who just returned and should have been exhausted, is giving me a shoulder massage.
\nSpeaking of which, she has a deep knowledge on the human anatomy. What you called Alchemist is a great scientist, a great Mage and a great doctor.
All member of 『The Lamenting Ghost』 are in good terms, but Sytry is especially in good terms with me. This is because in the time when we were training to become a Treasure Hunter, Sytry was growing slower than the other member and that bother her.
Finally, the reason was because the job of an "Alchemist (Renkinjutsu-shi)" requires an enormous amount of knowledge and the need of a lot of equipment, it was just the story of a 『Weak becomes Strong』2 overtime. Sytry seems to remember the fact that when she was feeling down, irritated, talentless, and inferior, I went to cheered her up when I had nothing to do. Sytry often take care of me, like now.
It has been a long time that she had repaid me plentiful and with interest. In the first place, it is doubtful if she owes me anything because I helped her, but I can't refuse when she sadly said, "If you don't like it, I will stop…".
It is true that if someone rub your shoulder your body becomes lighter…
Thank you for reading! This first part is all about Cry and his relics. Some background story to say why no one is like him and his 16 Safe Ring. And the second part is Sytry massage be patient because there is a lot of skinship if you know what I mean. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Tchao à plus!
1. Magi (Madoushi: Mage): When in the raw there is Kanji and Katakana, I will leave the Kanji untranslated. And put in parenthesis the translation if it is differen from the Kanji. 2. Weak becomes Strong: I put that because it is a trope in the recent light novel, but the literal translation is a 『Big Instrument with Late Growth Type (大器晩成型)』. It means it takes a lot of time for her talent to blossom. Like wine which get better the older it is.

Chapter 57.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 57.2
She gently applied strength on the acupressure point and loosen my muscle. Sytry looks delicate but she is strong. Her body heat up as if it were burning. Her breath behind my ears and the back of my head sending me shivers\n
A hot and sweet voice enters my ears.
"Ngh… It is so… Stiff… Cry-san, it feels so goo… d! Ngh! Aaah…!
I don't care but it feels like receiving a sexual service, so I want you to stop making those funny voice. Why do you make that kind of voice with a shoulder massage? I am not that stiff.
I try my best and stay calm. And I try to suppress her sensual voice which you wouldn't think coming out of a massage.
A Party Leader are required to always stay calm.
I take a deep breath and calm my heart. For some reason, the tension is getting hotter, so I talk to my party's Brain.
"… Ah, what should I do for the Relics charge. It is starting to be bad."
"Ngh… Mmh!"
Sytry responded with a pitiful voice. Where does such a voice come from…?
Although Alchemist is a type of Mage, their magical power is about the same as an average Hunter. To the point where the general public think that an Alchemist is the path of a Mage without talent. Sytry's magical power is better than a regular Alchemist but she is no ordinary person, she is an excellent Alchemist and her magical power is worth a thousand gold.\n
"If I could, have…! Properly! Remodel Noto Cochlear… Ngh! Aaah!"
I stopped breathing, I just heard her say something dangerous with a glossing voice.
I can't react to each and everything if I want to talk to her. She says more jokes than Liz. Those sisters…
Sytry's heartbeat is transmitted to me from where her body is tightly pressed against mine. Her fingertips which was massaging my shoulder doesn't have any strength anymore. She is rubbing powerlessly, but it still feels good.
"In the worst case, I might need to ask 『Starlight (The Star's Holy Thunder)1』. "
『Starlight (The Star's Holy Thunder)』is the largest party of Mage in 『First Step (Footprint of the Beginning) 』. Each of the six members are talented Mage in the Imperial Capital. They are not pure 『Human』.
They have a Magic aptitude far higher than pure Human, they are 『Noble (Spirits People)2』. And they have a unique sensibility, in short, they naturally look down on humans3.
It is quite doubtful if they will hear my request with their personality.
Sytry's scream quietly, wrapped her arm around my neck and bring her flushed cheeks.
"No… Don't! Cry-san… When you are, with me, don't talk… about other women… Please…!!"\nIt seems you are having fun but the one who is always misunderstood is me. Sytry's whispering voice tickles my ears.
"Onee-chan isn't here… Now is my only chance, you know. Feel, me, more…"
"… Un, un, you are right."
If Liz is here, I will fly. Anyone will misunderstand. If you only hear the voice, it will be terrible. Then at that time the door to the Clan master room opened as if it was waiting this.
Eva put her hands on her forehead and curve her eyebrows. Her cheeks were slightly red. There are few people who can make the expressionless Eva looks like that.
… I am sorry I am always bothering you.
"… I will at least ask… What are you doing?"
"As you can see, I am receiving a shoulder massage."
"Thi… This floor… are prohibited from Hunters."
I was properly wearing clothes and there was nothing strange happening between me and Sytry.
\n"I have a great potion. I am sure… It will feel so good, like you have never felt it before."
"It looks like I will become useless, so I will abstain."
I feel like she is aiming at each gap in my guard, I feel extremely in danger.
Is it because she is an Alchemist? It is one of Sytry's weakness to try to use drugs or needles for everything.
"Yosh, I don't feel like it but let's go get our Relics charged. Preparation are important, right?"
"Let me negotiate. … I am partially responsible for some Relics being empty… I have always been interested in 『Noble (Spirits People) 』. … I wonder if I could have create a wonderful Mage if I cross-breeded Noto-san."
Why do I feel something is off each time we have a conversation? I lean my head and decide to take Sytry to the Clan Lounge.
Thx for reading! I learn how to add anchor link on the footnote so now by clicking on the small number you will be redirected to the footnote and by clicking the number on the footnote it will redirect you to where you stopped reading! I will modify previous chapter so that works. Who knows what kind of fate would have awaited Noto if he was caught by Sytry. Well the choice was either that or become a vegetative state. XD Sytry's massage remind me of Final Fantasy 7 Remake where you can get a "Hand" massage from Madame M. Oh and talking about this Aerith red dress was gorgeous and Tifa's kimono was so pretty! Oh, and by the way, I am fully supporting ZacksXAerith! They deserve to be together!!!! Tchao à plus!
1. 星の聖雷 (Hoshi no Sei Rai): was translated as The Star's Holy Thunder.
2. 精霊人 (Seirei Hito): was translated as Spirits People.
3. I think they are the Elf in this universe but still need confirmation.
4. Hai Hai means Yes yes.

Chapter 58.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 58.1
"Oh yeah Sytry, you seem to have been busy lately, but are you fine now?"\n
Excellent Treasure Hunter often have multiple roles.
If we take our members as example, we have Lucia who boasts an outstanding magic power as a Mage, Anthem who can used healing magic which can recover defective limbs and Sytry an Alchemist who possess various knowledge is often called from various institution, she is often busy.
After receiving that weird Alias, she was rarely seen in the Clan Lounge. Even if I say that, one of her labs is located on the third floor in the Clan House. Although she comes see me from time to time, I wonder if the member who recently join knows of Sytry's face.
"No… Actually, the laboratory I was in until recently… Fired me…"
"!?"
I was so surprised I lost my word as Sytry was walking next to me. Sytry is talented. She got a weird Alias and might be shunned because of it but her technology made her once called 『The Best』 in the Imperial Capital. If it was because they couldn't afford her anymore, I can get it, but I can't believe she has been fired.
Should I give her, some words of comfort as her friend? When I was wandering what I should say, Sytry continues with a thoughtful look.
"… Well, rather than fire… The laboratory… is more like gone. How to say it… Argh! … Cry-san, it is as you already know it. I lacked power… It is so embarrassing."
Sytry cheeks become redder and embarrassingly look down.
I see… The laboratory you were affiliated in collapse. I got convinced.
The economy of the Imperial Capital is not bad nowadays, but it is not like there are no company who collapse. Alchemy is an academics subject that literally produce gold but even so there will be research that doesn't make any money.\n
Sytry is a genius but she is not god, she is an Alchemist and not a merchant, everything can't turn out well. I don't know what the circumstances were, but it must have been a situation where only one excellent member isn't enough to save them.
As far as I know… Well, I am not sure but maybe we are talking about a big laboratory I knew.
"Well, that kind of thing happen. It is fine if you learn from your mistakes. If it is you, Sytry, you will do better next time."
"… You are, right."
"I don't really know about Alchemists and I don't know which laboratory is gone but I know about Sytry."
She is smart, dexterous, curious hardworking and she is a little strange, but she is a talented girl.
From my point of view, she seems to have the tendency to think too deeply about things but that wouldn't be a weakness. It is just me who is not thinking enough.
"… Right. Cry-san doesn't know anything at all."
"If you want, you can do the rest of the research in the Clan House Laboratory…"
"!?"
To the word I casually said Sytry raise her head and continue to look at me.\nDid I say anything strange?
I am certainly an outsider. I have no idea what Sytry's research was about and even if she explains it to me, I wouldn't understand. However, the laboratory in the Clan House is state-of-the-art. It has been prepared by Sytry herself. The room are large and there shouldn't be any shortage.
Well, there is a possibility that the research can't be pursuit because of reason other than equipment… But…
Sytry seemed to be lost for a while, but she says with a smile.
"Thank you very much. But it might bother Cry-san so I will abstain."
You don't have to worry about me… I almost said that but stopped at the last moment.
Me and Sytry isn't in a relationship where we consider each other discretion. If she is saying it will be bothering me then it is a dangerous experiment that will really bother me. For example, she doesn't have enough equipment, or she doesn't have enough hand to do it alone.
It is too bad that I can't help but an amateur shouldn't say anything.
Sytry put her hand together and says in a bright voice.
"And it is okay. I will find the next laboratory soon. time, I will do it better."
"Un, un, you are right. Well, do it in moderation."
\n"… Upper class party are often busy."
By the way 『Starlight (The Star's Holy Thunder) 』 didn't participate in the investigation of the White Wolves Den… I completely forgot about that. The party that was hanging around begins to notice our appearance. A person with a gruesome expression, a person with a rough face, a person with shining eyes. Some are pointing their hands here.
Sytry raise a finger with a thoughtful look.
"The number of "Magi (Madoushi: Mage)" is… eight. There are ten dozen of high-class "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)" and three different kind…"
""Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)" is extremely awful, right."
"Yes. It has a taste of something doesn't seem to come from this world. It is because the effectiveness is proportional to its taste. If you are not used to it, it will render you unconscious."
"Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)", as the name implies is a magic potion that has the power to restore your magical power. When you are exploring a Shrine, it is an extremely useful item to use when battling against powerful monsters and Phantoms, but it has the fatal drawback of having a bad taste. And it is not just a bad taste. It is bad enough to hesitate to drink it in a life-threatening situation.
In the past, Lucia shared a little bit to me to try it. But at the time where it touches my tongue, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, a few hours has already passed. I don't remember the taste but for some reason I know that it is bad enough that you want to die.
It seems if you can drink a magic restoring medicine, it is a proof of being a first-class Mage. Since then, for me, Mages is an existence to be respected.
Hey, thank you for reading this. I started to play Valorant and yeah it is pretty fun, I suck though but I won most of my games as I got carry every single time XD Don't worry I will try to not delay my translation because of it. Cry the destroyed lab was an infamous one so I am sure you have heard of it. It is called Tower of something… XD In the next part you will see the return of someone you know! Tchao à plus!

Chapter 58.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 58.2
"We might need a cleaner."\n
"But it is always perfectly clean."
"From now on… I think it will get dirty. Probably everyone here… have never taken a highest-class "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)" so…"
Is it so dangerous? I mean, isn't it impossible to ask? If I were in their position, I wouldn't think of taking such a bad medicine to charge someone else Relics.
Perhaps Sytry was thinking the same thing but she continues with apologetic tone.
"If we prioritize the thing to charge then…"
"For the time being, I think it will be 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger) 』. There are fourteen of them."
"It is impossible. That alone will require fourteen 『Noble (Spirits People) 』 Mages.
Well, I had a feeling it would be like this. Even if you use a contractor, it costs a huge amount of money to charge a Barrier Finger. It seems that most Mage doesn't have enough magic power to charge it. But this is troublesome.
"Can't it be done?"
"… It might be possible if I tweak their brains."
Sytry says with a thoughtful look. It means… It is impossible.
That means, I must have someone on my side until Lucia returns.
And at that time, a familiar girl speaks from the table in the back.
As usual, she wears a black jacket and a short. She is wearing her black boots which cover her knees and attached on her is her weapon.\n
Recently, she left me a strong impression of always having a dying expression, but it seems she isn't with Liz today. So, she is healthy. But why is that?
"Master! Why are you here… Did something happen… ed!?"
When Tino face melted, she started to happily approach me. But both of her legs stopped.
Her eyes are looking at Sytry next to me. With a look as if she saw something unbelievable, she stepped back a few steps and called with a blunt voice.
"Sy… Sytry… Onee… sama?"
"It has been a while, Tee-chan"
"Hiiii1!"
Tino solidifies as if she was a frog stared down by a snake, and Sytry approaches her with a relatively relaxed gait. Tino is Liz disciple. She has experiment terrible thing because of Liz but if you need to know which one Tino was bad with, it would be Sytry.
On the other hand, Sytry seems to like Tino, well there are probably various reason.
Sytry's eyes brightens and approaches where Tino stands.
"Tee-chan, are you healthy? Did you get stronger again? You weren't treated horribly by Onee-chan?
"Ye… Yes. It is okay."
"If she did terrible thing to you, l could go and tell her for you."
"It… It is okay. Re… Really, it is okay."\nTino trembled at Sytry's gentle voice. She looks at me with an expression which looks like she will cry.
… Un, un… You are right.
Sytry-chan lick her lips with a bewitching gesture and puts her palm on Tino's cheek.
She looks at her black eyes as if she were doing a medical examination. And her voice is more excited than usual.
"If it is too hard, you can tell it to me anytime. If you leave it to me… I can make you far stronger and far easier than if you were learning from Onee-chan."
"Hii…"
"You don't have to train while feeling like dying. There isn't any training. If it is with Tee-chan's qualities, I can definitively do it. I can even recommend you in 『Strange Grief (The Lamenting Ghost) 』 right now."
"Sytry… Onee-sama! You are too close."
Sytry draw the outline of Tino's cheeks to her neck, with her finger and then touch her clavicle. Tino's left arm was pins on her back so her escape route was denied. There should be a difference in strength between Sytry, who is an 『Alchemist』 and Tino, who is a 『Thief』 but Tino's slender body is only trembling, there is no sign of her running away.
Sytry sticks closer to Tino. They were close enough to be confused as them hugging.
In this strange atmosphere, all the line of sight in the Lounge is gathered on them, Sytry, without worrying about it, makes an ecstatic voice. And her small nose moves and confirm her smell.
Tino is red from her head to her hand because she is being touch all over her shoulder. As if Sytry was confirming its feeling she keeps going and go further bellow. Every time she touches Tino's skin, Tino's body makes a small shuddering.
"High-quality muscles trained in actual battle. A slender build with all the five-sense sharpened. A healthy body specialized to be a Thief as a Hunter. Blood, flesh and bones are overflowing of talent and well trained. Aaah, Cry-san. Why didn't you give it to me but to Onee-chan…? I would have made her perfect."
"Hiii!? Master, please help me…"
\nSytry look at Tino who is lifelessly sit on the floor. Of course, her cheeks were red, but her neck was also bright red. And Tino looks at me as if she was a puppy on the point of being abandoned.
In the first place, there is no way that Tino, the victim, will agreed. I immediately answer without the need to think.
"Not good."
"… Even if it is for the Party?"
"No."
All those are No. If you think with your common sense, it is No. I can't turn Sytry into a criminal. If that happens, I can't show my face to the Smart family in my hometown.
I am not sure, but each time I denied Sytry's question, Tino's eyes are more and more grateful. Sorry. I am really sorry for our member. I am sorry, I was late to stop her.
Sytry drop her shoulder and you can see a depressing aura on her back.
"Now… It is the time to charge my Relics. You were going to help me, right?"
"… Oh yes, right."
Sytry raises her face. When she did, there was no sign left from her earlier depression. Her switching gears is as fast as her sister.
She quickly looks at all the other party who were paying attention here, and brazenly say.
"Let's ask for everyone help, all of those who was stretching their noses when they were looking at Tee-chan. From now on, it is the 『Thousand Trial2』."
Hello, thanks for reading this second part. Cry what are you doing you have to protect Tino from Sytry. Her chastity/live depends on you! At least you saved her in the end XD And the return of the Thousand Trial! What can it be? You will know in the next episode of Strange Grief! Tchao à plus.
1. Hiiii: She isn't saying Hello she is screaming.
2. Changed One Thousand Tribulation to Thousand Trial.

Chapter 59.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 59.1
A wooden doll with no eyes, no nose and no mouth come out while holding a large wooden box. It is a Wood Golem… A wooden golem that Sytry often uses for her work. Alchemist often use Golem and other magical creature to supplement for their low physical strength.\n
From inside the sturdy wooden box, you can hear the rattling sound of bottle hitting against each other.
The Lounge was wrapped in a strange atmosphere. There was a dangerous atmosphere settling down. But nobody can't escape because Sytry is blocking the entrance.
It was only supposed to be charging my Relics, but what is this atmosphere? I also feel a little bit the need to run away.
Tino, the victim number one, who was still feeling uncomfortable approaches me as if clinging on to me.
"Master… I have always been wondering… Is Sytry Onee-sama, well… Lesbian?"
Her shoulders were trembling and tear floating around her eyes. Well, if she was only touching you a little bit, it will be okay. But after being touched like that, it is normal to feel fear.
To think the day will come where I would need to confirm my childhood friend sexual orientation. What kind of karma did I have in my previous life to have to do that?
"No, I don't think she is… Probably."
"…"
"It is fine. Fine. Maybe."
"…"\n
When I saw the smile on Sytry's face when she was touching Tino, it is difficult for me to be sure but… Her interest in Tino is probably purely academical. I wonder if it is fine on its own way. Tino's expression didn't change when she heard my answer. She just bites her lips and hug my arm. I don't mind you relying on me but, when the reason is one of my childhood friends, I am really sorry about that.
While patting her head to calm down, Sytry talks to the members in the Lounge with cheerful movements. They were all assemble in one place. Apparently, even if she rarely goes to the Lounge, she remembers the Clan members' faces and names. I am sure her head is different than mine.
In front of the confused members who are gathered here, Sytry-chan clap her hand once and say with a smile which can even attract woman.
Before I knew it, there was eight stone Golem lining up behind me. Stone Golem… Compare to the wooden one, those Golems are known for having a higher fighting power. Even if I say that, they are not an opponent when facing against "Footprint" Hunters.
"To everyone who is in the Lounge today… You are very lucky. Cry-san will give everyone here… A very efficient training, is what I am saying."
"No, no, no, I never said something so bossy!?"
What are you saying all of sudden? I inadvertently tsukkomied1 to those sudden words.
Training… What are you talking about? I just came here to ask them to charge my Relics. I am in a position where I need to bow my head. The Clan Master has no power to force something on someone.
"Let's leave Cry-san words aside…"
To the good news which is no one is raising a complaint to me. Sytry raises her index finger, hunch down as if she was telling a secret and continue.
When she looks at everyone with her quiet and shining eyes. One of the members who was listening to the story swallowed his saliva.\n"What is amazing you say? This training is different from the usual Trials… Who would have though…? There is no danger of dying!"
"What did… you say!?"
To those words, everyone who was in a low tension became noisy. Even Tino who was clinging to me, open her eyes and surprisingly looks at Sytry.
I was the only one who couldn't keep up with the situation. It is good that everyone is getting along.
"… Well, I want you to stop tying Trial on everything."
"It is okay even if you are on vacation, no preparation is required. It takes little time… And the effect is visibly obvious! If you take this, everyone can become a Mage on the level of Lucia-chan! To tell you the truth, this is a secret training method that is only done inside our party, but this time we will exclusively… Reveal it to everyone."
To those words, everyone's expression is half-doubting it.
Lucia Roge is one of the most recognized Mage in the Imperial Capital. 『Starlight (The Star's Holy Thunder)』, the party of 『Noble (Spirits People) 』 who look down on human, is in 『First Step (Footprint of the Beginning) 』because Lucia is in it.
It can only be heard as a joke that anyone could become a Mage like her. I can only hear it as a joke. Or rather, I have no recollection of such a training method.
If there is such a training method, it wouldn't be strange if it was more widespread.
With satisfaction, Sytry nods at everyone's expression.
\nThe female Mage from the party next table snorts and says with a exasperate voice. There are many voices of consent from the others around.
"Please rest assured, the depleted magic power will be restored immediately. I will bear the cost of the "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)". … By the way… It isn't… It isn't like, I am taking you for an idiot… But is there anyone who is bad with "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)" and can't drink it?"
To that voice which sound terrified, all the Mages look at each other. They look dissatisfied. Being able to drink Magic Recovery Medicine is a proof of being a first-class Mage. All people gathered here are confident of their own ability as a Hunter. If you suspect this, it is normal if you get a complaint.
"Don't take us for an idiot. Even if we are not to your level, we are still active Mage. We have already drunk "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)". We aren't going to hesitate, now."
"I am sorry. In that case… I think there is no particular problem."
Sytry bow a little and apologized, she once again looks at the face of the one gathered here. She opens her lips with a serious expression.
"Then this is the final confirmation. This is… a secret training method. If you decline now, you will probably never get it again. But it is certainly not something to do on your vacation. We won't force you but, once you receive it, you will be with us until the end. Is there anyone who doesn't want to receive this training?"
It is a bit late but Sytry is relatively shrewd.
Compare to Liz, she looks more mature and she is easily mistaken but she isn't harmless to human. She always acts with precaution. Although she isn't telling a lie, she has a habit of playing with her words, among all my childhood friend, her words are the one you need to be the most careful about. I don't want to remember it too much but because I let it pass once, Liz and Sytry had a sibling fight and had almost killed each other.
For example, Sytry said you wouldn't die but she didn't say that it would be so painful, you would want to die. And it is often those important informations, that she doesn't say.
Thank you for reading! The Title is "Hidden" like in log horizon noice. Sytry what a fearful girl, osoroshi ko. XD What can be the training Cry created for Lucia will it be an easy one probably not. Run mages from Footprint! Tchao à plus!
1. Tsukkomi: The act of pointing out that something is ridiculous or silly. Usually this is something another person (known as the "boke") says or does. From urbandictionary.
2. Price: He is not talking about monetary price but more like a compensation just like when you make a deal with the devil.

Chapter 59.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 59.2
"… I am… not feeling well, so I will abstain."\n
"!? Are you really sure? It is a great opportunity though…"
A Mage with a sense of crisis raises his hand a little and leaves with his party members. Sytry smiles and look at them without complaining.
I silently wait for a while, but it looks like no others member chooses to leave. Sytry checks the face and the determination of the remaining Mages and their parties and ask again.
"Are there really no one else who don't want to receive the training? You can't get frightened after seeing it and give up later."
I look at their face but there is no one who stands up. I wonder if it was a good publicity to use Lucia's name. Behind me, Tino is also terrified but she is still listening to Sytry's word.
But is there really such an efficient training? For Hunters, who sometimes has to shoulder each other's lives, 『Trust』 is a very important factor. It is an indicator of your ability as a Hunter, this is why your certified Level is a proof of trust. And that is why the Level Down is regarded as the worst penalty in the Explorer Association.
Even if your opponent is a member of the same Clan, if you lie in such a place, Sytry's reputation… And maybe even Strange Grief's reputation… will be greatly lowered.
Sytry nodded after confirming that no one left.
"And now, let's get started. Even if I say that, the content itself is not that difficult and it doesn't take a lot of time… For the time being can I have the cooperation of one person?"
In respond to those word, the previous male Mage, who said with confidence that he could drink Magical Recovery Medicine, stands and approaches.
Sytry-chan pulls out a silver pocket watch from her pocket and glances at it. She raises her index finger and says with a bright voice.\n
"First of all, please charge the Relic with your magical power. Conveniently, Cry-san has a lot of empty Relics."
… I completely forgot about it. We came here to ask them to charge my Relics…
I pass the empty 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger)』 to Sytry.
The male Mage began charging with a suspicious expression while everyone's eyes look at him. Time goes by silently. The man's expression changed from a suspicious one to a rugged one.
"... Wait a second. What is that, Relic, the charging, doesn't want to end!?"
"It is fine, please keep charging."
"… Kuh."
The fiery appearance of the man visibly turns white. On his forehead, oily sweat start to appear. From his previous self-confident words, he seems to be a High-Level Mage, but even for such a Mage, the Barrier Finger seems to be a heavy burden.
It seems that magic power exhaustion is similar to the feeling when Lucia is drunk, and her wobbly legs can't make her stand up.
"You should sit down."
"… Ha, haa…"\nHe falls to the chair Sytry pulls out. After waiting a few minutes, the Relics is finally charged. After he finish charging the Relic, the male Mage lips are blue, and his fingers are shaking. Perhaps he has a headache, he put his hand on his forehead and frown.
Sytry picked up the Barrier Finger on the table and nodded satisfyingly and hand it to me.
"Okay, now that the first charge is over, the next thing is… To charge the next Relic again."
"!? What, did, you, say!?"
"Wait. Fuvil is at his limit. He can't do it anymore!"
"It is okay. I will stop when he reaches his limit. He will not die."
No matter what the protest of the party were, Sytry gave the next Relic with a smiling face. The male Mage who is called Fuvil, received it breathlessly and resume charging with a small complaint.
His breathing was getting rough. It is an obvious sign of symptom of magic exhaustion. If he continues to charge, his magic power will be completely exhausted soon.
Sytry begins to explain with a soft voice to everyone who is watching him breathing roughly.
"Here is a brief explanation. Mages' ability is proportional to the total amount of their magic power. Generally, it is said that women are better suited to be Mages because the total amount of magic power grow easier for women. And the upper limit of magic power usually grows from childhood to mi-teens and stop there. 『Noble (Spirits People)』are excellent as Mages because their aging speed are different from human… Their magic growth period is very long."
Fuvil's breath becomes rougher and rougher. His one last breathing leaks from his lips and he lose his strength and lies on the table. The hand holding the ring naturally opens and the Barrier Finger rolls on the table.
\nWasn't "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)" a more beautiful color?
Sytry picks the man down and puff out her chest which was bigger than her sister.
"Because it is adjusted for Lucia-chan maybe… Fuvil-san will recover with a few drops."
"Wait, a sec…"
Fuvil-san's party member wanted to stop her, but they were too late. A few drops of special magic power recovery medicine are sucked in a pipette and is then inserted in the mouth of Fuvil who is having a magic exhaustion.
Then Fuvil-san's body which wasn't able to move, like a dead fish, suddenly jerk up greatly. With his behavior which doesn't seems like human, his party member, which was surrounds him, screams and go behind him.
Sytry-chan approaches the pitiful Mage, who lies on the table and doesn't move a single finger. She lifts his eyelids, checks his white eyes, gently tapped his cheeks and tilted her neck and takes out her pocket watch and confirms the time.
"In just three minutes and twenty seconds, his magic power was improved by ten percent. This is the secret magic training technique devised by Cry-san to raises Lucia-chan. By repeating it, you can expect a drastic improvement of power. If the amount of magic power increase, the ability to keep fighting improve and you can learn new magic which consume more magic power. When the Mage who is the pillar of the party, grows, it greatly increases the survival rate of the entire party. How efficient… It is awesome!"
… I don't remember giving this idea.
"Bu… But Fuvil's consciousness is still…"
To this outrageous training methods, the female Mage makes a quivering voice, Sytry points at the back of the eight stone Golem and says with a big smile.
"No problem, the Golem is here for that. It is fine if all you think about is charging Relics. Leave everything to the Golem. I don't think you will but if you try to escape… It is impossible."
Thx for reading! Here is the fearful training design by Cry without knowing about it XD. I am not sure if the Super recovery happen when magic recovers naturally or only if there is a fast recovery due to potions. It is probably like muscle but as the most I do is a few pushups every day I don't know if we get more muscle if the recovery is faster. I can picture the mage jumping like a fish out of water when he drinks the potion and then falling flat on the table with his little soul coming out of his mouth XD Tchao à plus!

Chapter 60.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 60.1
In the Zebrudia Empire, there are a lot of Shrines, so the status of Treasure Hunter is high.\n
Hunters who go to those hostile environments and has absorbed a lot of Mana Material surpass even Knights on a horse. Initially, the Zebrudia Empire tend to emphasize power as a nation. When you become a High-Level Hunter with an Alias, it is not uncommon to receive a summon from a high-grade noble.
The Rodin House is a prestigious Treasure Hunter in Zebrudia.
Their origin starts when the Level 10 Shrine, which once existed near the present Imperial Capital appeared… When the [Star Shrine] appeared, the residing singularity god who can burn to ashes in every direction in a thousand miles1 was destroy by a Treasure Hunter. This was the beginning of Solis Rodin. At that time, Zebrudia tried to capture the Shrine without avail the [Star Shrine]. And in the honor of its capture, the emperor at that time considered giving a noble title to the Treasure Hunter Solis, but Solis considered himself as an adventurer and declined it. The Emperor praised his humble behavior and wishing for Hunters to take him as a model, gave Rodin the title of 『Hero2』. Since then, only the Rodin House was allowed to claim the name Hero in the Empire.
Ark Rodin is a descendant of such a family and since his childhood, he has been educated to become a prestigious Hunter.
Solis Rodin was an omnipotent existence. He was a Hero with no weakness. The Rodin blood running in their family has always been highly achieving in their fields of expertise for generation. And Ark is another example of that. Even if he is young right now, he may be a candidate to be the strongest Hunter in the Empire. If you are an average Hunter, you have to go through a High-Level Shrine on your level, get an Alias.
The Rodin House is proud of its blood and not of its authority. Eventually, Ark's name will one day be associated with 『Hero』, just like his ancestors was.
Rodin is a special name in the Empire. From the beginning of his career as a Hunter, his name has been the center of attention. It is not the first time he has been invited by a noble.
To be away from those in power is one of Rodin's rule. But at the same time if you want to go smoothly as a Treasure Hunter you can't be completely disconnected with the upper brass of the Empire.
Ark and the others from 『Ark Brave (The Heaven's Son) 』 has achieved the capture of the [Prism Garden (White Chalk Garden) ] and went to see Marquis Sandline who was far from the Imperial Capital.
"So, this is the famous 『Sky Flower』. It is wonderful…"
A mature man in a calm crimson coat sighs as he looks at the strange flowers with transparent petals in a vase. This time, the host of the party who called Ark and the other is the head of the Sandline House, Neyham Sandline.
He was given a vast territory in the west of the Zebrudia Empire, he is one of the upper-brass noble. In the past, a Shrine existed in his territory and since its fateful capture, his house was especially friendly. Many Zebrudia nobles, are jealous of other nobles who are favored by Hunters.
Compare to those noble, Sandline Marquis is by no means a hard person to get along for a Hunter who goes to hostile environment places… On the contrary, he seems to have some kind of longing for the Rodin, as they have saved the Empire once. So, he calls them every time something happens.\n
The flower with clear, colorless petals is a substitute for a Shrine Treasure. It is transparent like a glasswork, but it has the texture of an ordinary flower. Its delicate form is so beautiful that no craftsman can recreate this.
"It is made from Mana Material. It is not a Relics. So, it won't last long in the outside world."
It is a flower that grows in the wild in the deepest part of the [Prism Garden (White Chalk Garden) ]. Contrary to its mysterious appearance, the 『Sky Flower』 doesn't possess particular power, it is a trivial item for a Hunter on the level of Ark. This time he picked some up and brought it back with him as a souvenir because he was in the deepest part of the Shrine, there was no particular reason at all.
However, there is no doubt that [White Chalk Garden] is not a Shrine which can be captured by ordinary Hunter. Once the Mana Material inside the flower disappears in the air, it will lose its shape. For nobles, Sky Flower is a proof that they have an excellent Treasure Hunter.
Except a few objects, objects inside a Shrine can't retain their shape once in the outside world.
In the outside world, 『Sky Flower』 is treated as a Temporary Phantom. When the times comes, it will disappear without leaving a fragment behind.
Recalling the time when it was rotting in the Lounge of the Clan House, Ark smiles without showing it.
The Marquis didn't answer anything to Ark's word, he just put his hand on his chin and squints.
"It is ephemeral. But that is why it is beautiful. Ah, a garden full of flowers like this… I would definitely like to see it once before I die."
… Unfortunately, it will be very difficult, thought Ark without saying it.
The [White Chalk Garden] is not a place where only Hunter can enter. But there are pollen floating around like a thick fog and erodes the body of those who get in. Hiding in the countless blooming flower, 『Phantom (Illusion) 』 who adapted to the environment are aiming at the invader's life.
It is fortunate that the terrain is flat, but even if a troupe of knights made of a hundred knight guard you, it is impossible to cross there. Their jobs are too different.
"How about this, Ark? If you, the one known as the strongest in the Imperial Capital comes as an bodyguard…"\n"His Excellency. That place is not a place where noble human like his Excellency can enter. Of course, we can defeat 『Phantom (Illusion) 』… But it is not an environment where human can adapt. This time, we also had a hard time.
To Ark who responded promptly, Marquis Sandline grunts but doesn't force him. He probably understands his own position.
In Zebrudia, a thoughtless nobleman occasionally goes in a Shrine with his private soldier and fell into a distress.
It is much more difficult to bring a dead weight Explorer than just exploring a Shrine. Even more, in an escort mission. It might be a good opportunity for a Hunters to work for an aristocrat but in most case the escorted is killed.
So, Marquis Sandline greatly shakes his head as if to change the subject. He says with a deep and friendly smile. But his eyes are incredibly sharp.
"And Ark-kun. Did you think about that matter?"
"…"
Ark is often scouted to become an exclusive Treasure Hunter for Marquis Sandline.
Treasure Hunter can be called the strongest card for the Zebrudia Empire. No matter how many High-Level Shrines exists, it is meaningless if there is no Hunter with the ability to bring back the treasure inside. Therefore, noble from all territory are eager to acquire excellent Hunters. Ark and the other are the focus of many of them.
Possessing the exclusivity is so to speak a noble personal Hunter. In exchange of a certain rewards, these Hunters must give their request the highest priority.
Their freedom is reduced, but it is not a bad story for a Hunter. The exclusivity for a noble family is some kind of status for Hunters.
You could receive preferential treatment for materials. You may be able to obtain excellent members with their connection. You may be able to enter Shrine which have an access restriction. You can receive a certain amount of reward even without continuing capturing dangerous Shrines, is one of its perks.
Above all, the exclusivity to an aristocrat is close to the best form of 『Trust』 in the Explorer Association.
\n"『Strange Grief (The Lamenting Ghost) 』. I often hear his name. His famous and also infamous deeds. Well, to think the day will come when a Hunter will threaten the Rodin…"
The sky was blue. There were no rivals. All the Hunters who come to the Imperial Capital are the ones who had just made a name for themselves. But even among them, Ark stood out. Of course, if it is only strength, there are some who exceed Ark. But they are the one he will one day, eventually catch up.
There was a time, where Ark was only looking at the top. And it was enough.
But who would have thought? To the one who has the strongest bloodline, training his very best in the best environment, Ark Rodin's rival will be someone of the same age.
Marquis Sandline said threatened the Rodin. But those words are false. In the Rodin's dictionary, there is no such word as a 『Afraid』.
If a talent comparable to his appears, he will confront him from the front, fair and square. Rather than just running alone, this is what he wants.
Ark remembers the young man's face and says with a look as if he bit something bitter.
"But his Excellency. He… 『Infinite Variety』 is, from the bottom of his heart, not motivated."
"Muuu…!?"
To Ark unusual disappointed voice, Marquis Sandline made an incomprehensible expression.
§ § §
Thank you for reading! We have a little more backstory for Ark and his family. We can also see how people think about the relation between Cry and Ark. Who will be the strongest? A Hunter can't be the strongest forever UNLESS he never has that power to begin with but is still consider the strongest right Cry? But I can so see Ark asking for a fight with Cry and he respond while sitting in his chair, waving his hand, yawning and saying, no way I don't want to fight you, you can take the title of strongest for all I care XD Tchao à plus

Chapter 60.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 60.2
It was an unbearable sight. I don't mind the hard feeling of the Stone Golem I am using as a chair.\n
Sytry put her finger on the throat of a female mage who is lying down, Sytry sighs and gazes at me in trouble.
A sour odor attacks my nose. The Lounge was a mess. Even though there was no sign of liquor on the table, every Mages is lying down on the ground as if they are drunk. A Stone Golem is cleaning the vomit with a rag.
I know Sytry very well. She is intelligent sincere and cautious. And as she has initially predicted, it seems that eight Mages couldn't fully charge my Relics.
Sytry's training was much steeper than what she said. Perhaps even those Mages who have been a Hunter for a long time have never experienced so many magic power exhaustions in such a short period of time. And the special potion made by Sytry further steal their energy.
"Umh… I am troubled. It seems they don't have the energy to use their magic power to charge anymore. Ah, of course, as promised they are still alive. There is a pulse. It is just that their consciousness… are not coming back."
"Un, un… you are right."
"Their magic power has also recovered. The potions used are actually used over and over in our party, you don't have to worry about it. The upper limit of their magic power has also increased. It is just that their consciousness… are not coming back."
"Oh, oi are you all right!? Keep it together!!"
A male Hunter push away Sitry's shoulder, he was until now, holding his breath and watching over the trial, then greatly shakes the shoulder of his companion who is not moving. The situation looks like he couldn't believe the death of his companion during an exploration in a Shrine. It looks as if they were clinging to a corpse.
My heart hurts. I'm gonna puke.
"It looks like they can't charge their magic power in the Relics without their consciousness. They lack training. It is a pity, but this is the end."\n
Even if she looks at the dead corpse, Sytry says without changing her complexion. Only one bottle of magic potion prepared has been finished. Rather, should I say that it is amazing that eight people could finish one bottle…
The Relics charge wasn't over at all. I haven't even half of my Barrier Finger charged. In the first place, the only Mage who could fully charge a Barrier Finger because he had enough magic power was Fuvil-san, except him there was only two more people who could do it. The others five charge wasn't wasted as it serves to charged other treasures. It seems like I should have secured a way to charge the Relics in case Lucia is absence for a long time.
"? What is wrong? I didn't say… Any lie."
A brown-haired Hunter glares at Sytry and embraces his foaming companion. To his glare Sytry unknowingly tilt her head and blinks a few times.
Sytry doesn't have any bad intent. Of course, she didn't do that to destroy the Mages. She has always been a girl like that.
"I am sorry. I wouldn't have though that something like that would happen… But everyone is satisfied, and everyone have increased their magic power so much. So, we can say that there is 『No Problem』."
Her voice was calm but there was a strength inside that couldn't let you object. I look at the other members who were looking at us like they wanted to shoot us dead, and Sytry make an apologetic look.
In the first place, this training (?) can't be done without the consent of the person himself.
Watching Fuvil-san lying down and the other Mages who is sat on the ground. Each one of them thought, for their growth, for their party, the pain is only for now, they won't die. But it is certainly Sytry who switched the Relic to charge from their hand.
But it was the person himself who took that decision.
Well even if it is like this, if I say that it is for their companion, I am in a position where it is hard for them to refute so I will leave it at that.\nHunters' action are their own responsibilities. No one would blame Sytry's action. But from the inside… it is different though. And the person himself says he will do it for the party. So, the outsider can't stop them.
After all, it is a sad story but, there is a reason why she kept the name "Deep Black (The Worst of the Worst)" no matter how long time passed.
"It is too te… Terrible. But, in fact… is that potion, really just a Magic Medicine!? I have never heard of magic power being fully restored with just a few drops!"
The members raised a voice of protest with a trembling voice, as if she was hurt, Sytry lowers her eyes.
With a look which doesn't looks like she was the perpetrator, she makes an expression as if a victim. The member who was looking at her as if she was their parents murder up until now are shaking. With a delicate body that can't be seen as a Hunter, her trembling voice makes me feel a little sorry for her, even for me who has known her for a long time.
"You are terrible… To doubt my potion. I just used rare ingredient and changed the dilution ratio. It is clearly a "Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine) ". It is extremely expensive… You can look it up in the lab."
The Wood Golem takes a potion from the wooden box. It is store in a bottle a little smaller than the one Hunters usually use. Sytry shook it lightly and place it in front of everyone.
The black liquid is so dark that it can only be seen as poison.
"In the first place, their magic power is completely restored… It is very difficult to say but… It is because everyone's magic power is so low. Lucia-chan can't recover with… Only one. Well, it is true a magic medicine with a lower performance have a better taste. The next time I will prepare a potion with a lower performance. If there is a next time…"
Each party takes over, and Sytry looks at the Mages who haven't regained their consciousness and squints her eyes. Maybe… It is just a hunch, but she may be disappointed that the Mages doesn't show any sign of recovering over time.
"They can get stronger so easily, but they can only do it four times…"
\nInitially, the one who should be blame for, is the one who requested to charge the Relic, me. Did Sytry draw the short straw?
One of them… The Hunter who is nursing Fuvil-san open his mouth. As if to cover it, Sytry say in an amazed voice.
"What, with such a scary eye… Studying is one part of being a Hunter. Lucia-chan received the same trials and she didn't whine. Rather, you should be thankful to Cry-san for telling you, your weakness, is what I think."
Word full of pride. I don't want you to pour oil on the fire. To those who are swearing because of those prideful content, Sytry shyly laugh. And while placing her index finger on her mouth.
"It isn't talent. Lucia-chan or Cry-san's level is a little higher than everyone is because… the trials we went through… the amount of sweats, bloods and tears shed are a little higher than everyone else. Don't tell me you are going to whine about a challenge where younger Hunters has overcome?"
… As always, she knows how to talk. None of the countless gazes gathered and neither their strong emotion matters. Rather than being amazed, I am first impressed. Tino also opens her eyes and listen to those words.
To those words, the Hunters who wanted to open their mouth, close it. They can't probably say anything back at this point. The irony is, in this Clan I am the one with the Highest-Level… But I have never sweat, shed any blood nor tear.
But those who knows it are the member of 『Strange Grief』 and no one else.
The Stone Golem holds the wooden box, puts away the cleaning tools and leaves the Lounges. Sytry takes my arm and finally with a mysterious or a stern look turns back to the member.
"Ah. I don't think it will happen but… If they regain their consciousness but have any problem, please let me know. I will keep, my promise. I will, sincerely, deal with it."
Thx for reading. Waaah so scary and Cry made Lucia go through all that without him knowing. No wonder if they are one of the strongest parties in the Capital. I wonder what kind of other training Cry (unknowingly) made for the other member. Tchao à plus

Chapter 61.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 61.1
Clan Master is a difficult position.\n
In the first place, the organizational system called Clan, consists of gathering multiple parties, so the situation tends to be complicated. To me, except "Strange Grief (The Lamenting Ghost)", I am closer to Clan Members than other party, but we are not friends.
Even if we say it is a Clan, they all have various purposes and organizational system.
While in some Clans, the Master's commands are absolute. Whereas in other Clans, there are those who they let their parties operate separately from the Clan. If there are ridiculous Clan who forced lower party to go in the front, then there are also Clan who wants to incorporate a party who work for a noble to get his connection and form a faction.
"First Step (Footprint of the Beginning)" is a very general Clan whose purposes are mutual assistance, information exchange and exploration support.
The reason I created this Clan wasn't for wealth or power. So, this is probably why this clan is looser than other Clans.
I have only set up three rules.
Everyone should get along. Don't bother the ordinary people. And democracy.
There are other detailed rules set up by Eva and the others but those are the only major rules.
Initially, "Footprint" was a clan made by gathering multiple parties of the same rank. So, it was very difficult to choose who was going to be at the top, the Clan Master. Hunters values hierarchy. If there is a big difference in each other certification Level, it will be simple. But everyone would want their party leader to be Master.
"Footprint" solved this hurdle by giving the Clan Master little authority. The Clan Master of "Footprint of the Beginning" would be elected by majority and would have no control right over the party belonging to the Clan.
In short, when the Clan Members are mostly listening to my requests, it is just them doing me a favor.\n
However, my childhood friends doesn't take that truth into consideration.
Contrary to Liz or Luke, Sytry doesn't resort to physical violence but that point doesn't change much.
"Is it going to be okay… I wonder if they will leave…"
"I think it will be all right. Cry-san. Surely one day those people will understand Cry-san's kindness."
In the Clan Master Room. I sit on my chair and recalls what happened in the Lounge. The main culprit, this time, says with her eyes closed.
Why are you saying it as if it was my fault…?
I was just thinking of asking a little favor… But the way of doing it is too horrible. It wasn't an atmosphere where I could stop them when they started. She has a talent to be an agitator. It is difficult to beat Sytry in a word fight. I have always been beaten since a long time ago.
"Un, un, you are right? … But I wanted to make it a little bit easier for them."
Peacefully. Easily. Even if they give me a hundred step1 because I am in the Clan Master position, as it is going, I may be stabbed. To my words, Sytry made a dark look.
"You are, right. As Cry-san says, they were… much more useless… than we expected. As a Hunter from the same Clan… It is very, embarrassing. Even more… They dare to blame their own weakness on my potion!!"
Somehow coming with us, Tino casually enters the Clan Master Room which is off limits. She opens her eyes and look at me as if she was distraught.\nI didn't say… I didn't say it, I didn't even think about it. Rather than weak, it is not a word uses to describe the "Footprint of the Beginning" which is known as a rising star.
"In the first place! If you were screaming with just that… What about Lucia-chan!! Every day, no matter where, she charges with a smile… Thinking that Lucia-chan was in fact forced to do so… Is so pitiful… Uuuh…"
Sytry further shout in a trembling voice. She bits her lips and her eyes start to be filled with tears. She is like a tragic heroine. This is some excessive acting.
When she hit my weak spot, I decide to shut my mouth. I don't really remember doing this. If I say that, I will probably pour more oil in the fire.
Tino's line of sight go down one more step, it is as if she isn't being looked as a person. It was a bad case of misunderstanding.
… Sytry isn't telling a lie but there are times when her expressions are overkill.
"For the time being, let's stop with that topic."
"Well, you are right. I obtain some good data… Let's think about what to do for the remaining Relics."
Sytry quickly stops her fake cry and wipes her tears and starts to think about the next thing to do. On the contrary, Tino's expression cramps up.
I am used to it so I don't think about it anymore but Tino may have been really lucky that Sytry didn't become her Teacher.
"Well, well, I have a little more extra room now with those 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger) 』. So, I wonder if we should wait for Lucia to come back…
\nIt might be because she is a Hunter, but I don't want to see my Kouhai3 puking…
With a terrified footstep, Tino walks to Sytry, as she approaches my desk, she opens both of her hands and cries with teary eyes.
"I, I am also, a Hunter too, Master! I don't have magic power but what you need is, mental strength then… I can endure it!"
I think it is probably not possible. I heard that the taste of magic medicine is difficult to describe. The Mages who should be used to it are like that. No matter how often you are treated by Liz and has an unusual mental power, there must be a limit.
"No, I am happy for your feeling, but you don't have to do it. It is not Tino's job."
"No way…, please let me do it! Master! I can do it too!"
"Eeeh!?"
Thank you for reading. More Clan explanation in the beginning So Cry really unknowingly forced his sister to do that magic charge and he plans to keep doing it. XD And Tino really loves Cry to do all that despite knowing how she will end up, respect. Ok, Tchao à plus!
1. Give a hundred step: It means the members will ignore his action because he is the Clan Master. But there is still a limit.
2. Ano: similar to English "er" or "umm", said when hesitating in speech. From wikitionary.
3. Kouhai: It can mean a junior or a subordinate.

Chapter 61.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 61.2
Tino screams with a loud voice with tears on her eyes. Why do you want to suffer that kind of hell to this extend? I can't understand at all.\n
Certainly, your magic power may rise but in the first place Tino is not even a Mage. It is true that it is better to have high magic power but… You can fight against a Golem which is much stronger than me, what kind of education does Liz teaches you?
However, whatever I say, Tino doesn't show any sign of retreating. She doesn't even notice Sytry who slowly approaches her from behind.
Then Sytry-chan makes a big smile, she yells and hugged her defenseless back.
"So… Cute!"
"Hi!?"
Before Tino can turn around, both of her arm is restrained, and she is tightly hugged preventing her of any movement. It is a very sophisticate move.
It was the return of what happened in the Lounge but maybe Sytry-chan is a Yuri1 after all. I don't have the confidence to denies it when I see her melting smile.
"Please look at this, Cry-san! This child is head over hell for Cry-san! Just like Onee-chan! But she still doesn't have her power or her speed… She is way cuter than Onee-chan!"
"Please, stop! Sytry Onee-sama! Iya2…!"
Question arises about their sisterhood. And I don't think that is just on the level of just being cute.
Sytry's hand are messing around Tino's body as she is trying to get out. Tino who is in front of me… falls to my desk.
In a moment, Tino's face looks up. There is no way for me to know whether it is due to her liking it or her fearing it.
"Please look at this! Cry-san! Ti-chan's weakness is her legs! Rub along her blood vessel from her groin to her inner thigh, if you stroke it, she will be all meromero3!"\n
"Uh!!"
Tino quivers and shouts loudly. Extending her neck to its limit, a drop of sweat runs down to her exposed white throat. I was dumbfall to Sytry-chan who was caressing my Kouhai's body until her cheeks was dyed red.
What do you want me to do with that information? Hmm? Do you think, I will think, I see, next time when I have the chance, I should caress it? It won't happen. It won't. Is the groin under her belly? What do you think of me?
You can hear, Tino's lips making a *pakupaku* sound. Sytry's finger caress her extended neck. She is squinting her eyes and says with a fascinating look, as if she is looking at an art piece.
"Well, unfortunately, as Cry-san says, that trial is impossible for Ti-chan…"
"Eh!?"
"In the first place, if anyone can do it… I wouldn't have asked someone to do it, I would have charge it by myself… right?"
Tino gives a small doubting voice. Sytry doesn't release Tino and continues with a heated voice.
"Ti-chan, looks like you don't know, so I will tell you, Magic has a very heavy 『Cost』, you know? There is a trade-off between your physical ability and the sensitivity of your five senses. Mages can usually only live as a Mage. There is no problem if it is only a little bit, but if Ti-chan repeat such a trial, the body you trained to be a 『Thief (Tozoku)4』 will no longer be useful."
Eh, is that so? So, this is why there are almost no Magic Swordsmen. I have lean something.
Sytry's hobbies are reading and experimenting. She has always been a smart child. No matter what I ask, she will always answer immediately and even if she doesn't know, the next time I met her she would have learned the answer.
But how did she become like that?
"So, this is why… Even if there were many members other than Mages, I only use it on eight people. Hey? I am properly thinking about it, right? One of this clan rules is 『Everyone should get along』 and reducing the strength of the clan is not what Cry-san wants. I am also, at least, thinking before acting, you know?"\n… It is good that I made that rule.
While explaining with a whispering voice, Sytry's fingertips was in between touching and not touching. Sytry is caressing the 『Weakness』 she just taught me. It was Tino's mistake to wear her short she always wears for an exploration. Perhaps to emphasis her ease of movement, there is no clothes to block Sytry's fingers, her legs are wide exposed.
Every time her fingertips rubs the inside of Tino's thigh, her limbs quiver as if being struck by lightning. Her clear white skin is dyed in vermillion and her lips often makes wordless voices.
My head was swaying left and right saying no, no, no. Sytry scoops the sweat on Tino's neck with her fingers, and she bewitchingly look at me and licks it. It is a smile that makes me feel irritated.
"Ti-chan… Can you still hear me? Did you think I was holding myself back? Did you think that there was no reason that I am not charging those myself? There are times when I fail… but I won't restrain myself. Like Ti-chan when you explore Shrines… I don't hold back."
"… I think it is about time you hold back and let go of her hand."
I interrupt her so she stops escaping reality. It is not something you should do in front of me, right? I am still the Clan Master, a Level 8, I did say to not lay your hand on my best friend's disciple but, I am still a man, you know? No… I am not saying it is good if it isn't in front of me.
You guys are way too defenseless. If Eva was here, I will be stared at again. I already don't do a lot of work, so I would like you to make me avoid losing as much point as possible.
To the advice I said with a mind of steel, Sytry makes a small nod and whispers in Tino's ears.
"It is nice to flirt… But Cry-san is also busy. If you have something you don't understand, I will teach it for you. Hey? Do you understand?"
"Ha… Ha… Ye,s."
I don't think she was flirting with me…
Hearing Tino's weak answer, Sytry finally let her go. Perhaps because Tino's legs doesn't have any strength, her body greatly sways. Sytry support her right before she fell.
\nGolem has unexpected bothersome restrictions. I thought it was a convenient thing which can do everything. But that doesn't matter. If I left Tino as it is, she will bring Tino to her house. I can't let my friends turn into a criminal.
"... I understand. Indeed, it is a difficult field but if I can succeed, it will be useful. The laboratory might be destroyed and the research related to Mana Material are temporary suspended… But I will think about it…"
At that time, I suddenly heard a noise from behind. At the same time as the loud sound of the windows opening, a strong wind blows away the piled-up documents.
I have repeatedly told her to use the stairs if she is coming. Usually I will make a sigh but what a good timing. It is better to leave it to the big sister to confront the little sister.
"Good Morning! Cry-chan! Mhh? Syt-chan. Why are you here? Maybe everyone is back?
When she invades the room with familiar movements, Liz looks at Sytry with round eyes. She doesn't even look at her disciple who is being supported on her shoulder.
Sytry also doesn't care about the crime scene she committed. With the appearance of her sister, her eyes were shining.
To this situation, I realize how naïve I was thinking. They may not be salvageable anymore.
I am sed. I wanted to change the battery of my phone, but I broke the LCD screen TT.TT Don't worry there is no impact on the next release but just wanted to say it somewhere. TT.TT But anyway, thank you for reading. The chapter title is safe like in baseball term. It's safe because Liz arrive just before Sytry took Tino to the bath. Poor Tino all she wanted was to help Cry. Hope she will get a better treatment later. But it is also eye candy for us. Tchao à plus!
1. Yuri: It means lesbian, Girls love.
2. Iya: You know what it means if you watch too many hentai XD. (If not it means Nooo)
3. MeroMero: It means smitten in love, totally in love.
4. Thief (Tozoku): I decided to leave it untranslated when they say the same word in Kanji. So Tozoku means Thief in japanese.

Chapter 62: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter's Hero Dream Chapter 62
Zebrudia has many stores for Treasure Hunters.\n
For example, training center. Weapon shop and armor shop. Stores which sell various support items for Shrine exploration, an information seller store specializing in information about Phantom and monster. There are also stores that rent excellent Hunters as temporary member in a party. And some stores specialize in buying and selling Relics.
Among them, the one we have the most are 『Taverns』 in Zebrudia.
All Treasure Hunters love alcohol. Most of the parties who finish capturing a life-threatening Shrine, have a party in their favorite bar and praise each other accomplishments, praising their good luck that allowed them to survive together. And they wash away their fear, excitement and exaltation with food and drink. Compare to regular citizen, Hunters eat a lot. Of course, it is the case for close-combat warrior who move their body a lot such as Swordsmen and Thief. But it is the case even for the rear guard, such as Mage and Healer. And that will serve as their fuel for tomorrow.
The amount of food and drink they spend on are far higher than an average person. Most of the Hunters are rude so there are several taverns dedicated to Hunters in the Imperial Capital. It is a place where you can drink alcohol as much as filling a bathtub, they place importance on the quantity rather than the quality. Do you know how much I am talking about when their drinks come out in a barrel?
I took Sytry and Liz (and Tino with her wobbling legs) to my favorite tavern… We are in the 『Golden Chicken Pavilion』.
The Golden Pavilion is a tavern for Hunters operating in the Imperial Capital. The specialties differ depending on the name of the restaurant but today I felt like eating chickens. Liz prefer quantity rather than the taste, and Sytry let me pick, so, it is always my role to decide which place to go.
When I open the large double door which even giant Hunters can enter, a strong odor of alcohol surround and welcomes us. Perhaps they finished exploring a Shrine early, the hustle and bustle of Hunters fills the spacious room. When I entered this world for the first time, the anger and the laughter of a light drinker made me terrified but I am already used to listening it. A big man who fell down on the floor because he drank too much is being kicked to a corner by a robust female Hunter. The giant man who had rolled down to the wall begins to snore loudly without him noticing that he had being kicked.
Each Hunters weapon leaning against their table indicate that it is a Tavern for Hunters. Some of them still have blood stains on it. If they were fighting against Phantom their blood will disappear, so it is probably the trace of cutting a monster.\n
The Feast of Heroes. From this tavern I can see the scene, I pictured when I was longing for Hunters long ago. The weak are weed out and only the strong and survivor are praised. It is a place I will never get in without Liz and Sytry.
"I take the seat next to Cry-chan! Sit, you are next to me. You will slip something in if you are on the other side of Cry-chan."
When we reach the innermost round table, Liz take the seats on my right… and sit on the aisle side and threaten in an excitingly good mood. There are often six people in a party. The tables in the tavern are lined up and designed so six people can sit comfortably. Liz is as always, a little too close.
Usually, I don't mind because I have Anthem and Luke but I bought three pretty girls (In appearance only) with me, so I am attracting a lot of attention. I hope Liz-chan doesn't go wild.
".... This isn't really bothering me. It doesn't matter but… Shouldn't you put Ti-chan right next to you? She is still, at least, your disciple, and I also have something I want to talk about with Cry-san."
To Liz who is intimidating with her glaring eyes, Sytry is smiling without shrinking, I grab Tino's arm who doesn't have her strength and was swaying (already washed in the water).
Tino's body tremble from the surprise. She is like a frighten small animal. The appearance has changed from her previous short which exposed her thigh to a half pants that are longer and covering up to her knees. Although the clothed area has increased, it may not be effective as a countermeasure against Sytry.
Her Teacher looks at her frightened disciple with her line of sight and without concern about her condition, says.\n"Hmm… Aah... It is okay. Ti doesn't need a seat because she will help with serving. Bring the food and sake I command! For the time being, Golden Ale. Take ten mugs, okay? Extra fast, please!"
She is too pitiful. As expect, I say something. I was already full of regret. No matter if she is her disciple, she is still a full-fledged Hunter. And if she is on Sytry's side, she wouldn't rest.
Please don't bully our mascot, please.
"Tino, my left seat is open so sit there."
"Eh! Is… Is it fine!?"
After Tino stops for a moment, she smiles likes a blooming flower.
At that time, I noticed.
Is this possible… what you called a flower in both hand? I always thought about Ark who is always in a Harem state with only girls with him, but this is amazing… There is no sense of superiority at all. Let's apologize next time.
\nThe liquor for Hunters is several times more expensive than ordinary alcohol. If you are going out with a High-Level Hunter, no matter how many livers you have, you won't have enough.
I lift my mug. Sytry and Liz smiles and raise theirs, and Tino nervously raises hers.
"Well, it is a little early but to celebrate the safe return of Liz and Sytry from the [Night Palace (Myriad Demon Castle) ].
… Kanpai1!
The mugs collide with each other and make a beautiful sound. The feast has begun.
Thanks for reading this small chapter. This chapter was pretty short so there isn't a second part. If you saw Danmachi it is the same scene when Loki familia goes to a tavern to celebrate the return of their expedition. This chapter was all about explaining taverns dedicated to hunter, next chapter will be about them feasting. Oh and looks like Tsukikage-sensei made a spinoff of this series with Cry opening a bar/restaurant. There is 4 chapter right now so maybe one day I will translate those! Tchao à plus!
1. Kanpai: Means cheers you know when you do a toast (not the bread XD).
