Chapter 153 The End and The Beginning ②?
Part 1
He seemed to have lost his great sword, but apparently, when you are a Level 7, a lack of weapon isn’t even a handicap.
Anthem is also a Level 7, but he can also fight with or without a weapon, so I guess that Level 7 are probably all like that.
However, why do I keep coming across situations like this when I am only here for a vacation. I could only *nikoniko* smilingly nod at the incomprehensible situation of having a siege in a luxury Ryokan.
I felt like everything I do was backfiring. Also, I don’t care what you do, but please don’t fight while shouting my name.
“Cry-san, your tea is ready.” (Sytry)
“Aaah… Thank you……” (Cry)
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Sytry was still the same as usual, and sipped on my tea.
Tino was looking at me frighteningly, but I can’t do anything about it as there is nothing I can help with even if she was anxious.
I have been through a lot of battlefields in my life, but never have I been able to do anything about it. I call that turning my back on reality.
If I hadn’t just gotten out of the Onsen earlier, I would have entered into one right now.
“Master~…… Well…… Are you sure I don’t need to join the fight?” (Tino)
“Uuun…… If you want to fight, you can go ahead and fight, you know?” (Cry)
“!?” (Tino)
What do you want me to do? I mean, look at me now. I don’t have a weapon, do I? No matter how you look at it, I am not dressed to fight, right?
……Well, the yukata that Tino wore was also not a dress made to fight though. However, I’m much weaker with my usual outfit than Tino in her yukata.
Tino shuddered once and was silent for a while, but then said in a fading voice. Her eyes were moist.
“………… Y-yes, Master~. I want to fight…… Please.” (Tino)
“N-no, you don’t need to force yourself.” (Cry)
“……………… Let me fight, please.” (Tino)
It was like I was forcing you to say this……
Tino has worked very hard. I think that she has done enough now that Arnold-san is here, no?
I know, we have Sytry with us, so why don’t we ask Sytry to go? She’s an Alchemist, but she used to mix with Luke and the others and throw potions around on the front lines, so it is not like she can’t fight.
I looked at Sytry and she smiled at me as if she understood my feelings.
She lifted up the “Over Greed (Evolving Devil Mask) ” that was on the table and as if to push it to her, she gave it to Tino, who was looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.
“Here, Ti-chan. Cry-san is telling you to go get them.” (Sytry)
“………… Eh.” (Tino)
“Come on, put this on ―― You want to show him your good side, don’t you? Fight!” (Sytry)
“Eh? Eh……? Master~……?” (Tino)
I always thought about it but, it wasn’t me who said that, you understand right?
It was my fault to have Sytry as my spokeswoman, but I also think that it is strange that Tino recognized it as my words. If you don’t like it, you can say no, you know……
With a bitter smile, I took the mask from a shaking Tino.
And at the moment I felt the dampness of the mask on my hand ―― Tino, who was supposed to be right in front of me, suddenly disappeared.
There was no warning at all. My kouhai who had been looking at me with eyes that seemed to be clinging to me just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen. Sytry’s eyes too were wide open.
Hah? What? What happened?
In front of me who froze up in place, Sytry sighed a little and picked up something from the tatami mat and placed it on the palm of her hands.
With an unusually troubled expression on her face, she spoke to me as I didn’t understand the situation at all.
“Cry-san, it is terrible………… Lucia-chan is *kankan* very mad. Look at this, Ti-chan is……” (Sytry)
“!?” (Cry)
On the palm of Sytry’s hand, a small and cute black frog was *guruguru* spinning around in a rush while looking around.

Confused by the sudden appearance of the gray unintelligible creature, Jeffroy’s brain completely froze at the appearance of that.
I don’t understand the situation at all.
The wall created by the Relic was three meters high. However, the head of 『That』 was peeking out from the top of the wall.
Nearly twice as large as Jeffroy who is already over two-meter and blessed with a body you will rarely see even among Hunters, it was truly an inhuman body ―― A giant.
The dull-colored helmet tilted slightly and looked down at Jeffroy.
It is alive. No, is it a living being, or is it a Golem or something? I don’t even know something that basic.
I picked up the axe I dropped on the ground with my trembling hands. Even a huge battle axe was like a stick compared to the giant.
“O?! Why is that…… How? Why didn’t you see that coming?” (Jeffroy Barrel)
“S-sorry, but something that huge, we should have seen it coming ――” (Subordinate 2)
Do we run away? Can we escape? Is it just for show? What does it want?
Various thoughts swirled through my mind.
Among Monsters, there are some extremely large species. Some of them are much larger than three meters, and I have even hunted some of them.
However, the presence that appeared in front of me was too different.
It is not a human. It is definitely not a human. No, this thing should not be a human.
The presence of Mana Material that you should sense from such a huge body was unbelievably thin. However, would such small details really be good news for Jeffroy?
TL notes:
Thanks for reading! Another huge thank you for Mahammad for his donation! I’ll do my best and post an extra chapter tomorrow!
What Jeffroy meant when he said that the mana material inside the giant was thin is that something over 4 meter should have much more than what he has right now.
It’s something along the lines of “He is strong but something over 4 meter should be even stronger than that”.
Next part is the so anticipated appearance of Strange Grief!
Tchao à plus!

Here Sytry said “Fighto”, she isn’t ordering to fight but cheering her.
