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

Chapter 338.2: New Strategy



Chapter 338.2: New Strategy

Uuumu (Anthem)

Anthem lets out a somewhat uneasy growl as Sytry repeats "Theoretically". However, there are no other good ideas. The other Members don\'t seem to be complaining, so I have no choice but to believe in it.

The Mana Materials stirring device developed at the research institute I belonged to acts on the Mana Materials flowing in the earth\'s veins, reproducing changes in the earth\'s veins that would normally only occur due to tectonic movements. Two things are neededThe creation of a stirring device and a field survey. I will calculate the location where the device will be buried, but in order to determine the appropriate location, we will need to conduct a field survey and learn about the forces that flow through the earth. (Sytry)

And apparently, it is not an easy job either.

Serene brings a map of the surrounding area centered around the World Tree.

Surrounding the World Tree is a forest. The Mana Materials are also fairly dense, so Monsters and Legendary Beasts should also appear. It will not be easy to conduct an investigation there. The only fighting power is Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) and Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai). I thought they were reassuring enough before we left, but the difficulty of what we have to do increases in proportion to our strength, so I really want you to give me a break.

Let\'s split up into teams. One team will do field research, and another will manufacture the equipment. Since I am the only one who can manufacture the equipment, I will be in it and I want Lucia-chan to support me, so she will be on the manufacturing team. (Sytry)

Hearing what she said, Lapis *chirari* glances at her friends and looks down at the map.

The World Tree is really big. I don\'t know how much area we will investigate, but it will probably be a pain just to walk while dealing with the Legendary Beasts and Monsters.

So, the other members are in the investigating team. However We don\'t have enough manpower to investigate such a wide area. (Lapis)

In the first place, how do you measure the power that flows through the earth? We might be able to have a rough idea of where the power is strong, but you need accurate information, right? It seems difficult for Ti and me, tho\'? (Liz)

No It is difficult even for "Spirit People (Noble)". We can see Magic power, but we cannot see Mana Materials. (Lapis)

I don\'t need the exact number, butUhmWe need at least a rough location of the current earth\'s veins. (Sytry)

What about the Monsters in the vicinity? Desu. As expected, the power of the Monsters that appear in a place where Mana Materials are so dense is quite powerful, desu. (Sytry)

Sytry and the others start a heated debate in front of me, who has become a complete ornament.

It seems that they found an issue right away, but I am sure they will find a solution if they continue to discuss it. It really helps when your friends are so talented.

Well, if I were to go somewhere, it would probably be part of the manufacturing team, I think I don\'t have any fighting ability, I don\'t have the eyesight to see the flow of Mana Materials, and I have a relatively poor sense of direction to begin with. There aren\'t that many Hunters who don\'t have this much aptitude for research, you know? Even though the only thing I can do on the manufacturing team is to cheer them on.

Then I get up and feel like going to the bathroom. I am sorry for leaving in the middle of the discussion, but I am not participating in the discussion anyway, and I can\'t think of any good ideas. So you would be better off without me.

Sorry, I will go out for a moment. I will be right back. (Cry)

I quickly leave the room and head to the bathroom.

The bathroom is right near the entrance. Serene\'s mansion, built on top of a large tree, is not as spacious as the mansions often seen in the Imperial Capital.

I have already visited this mansion many times since I came to Yggdra. While humming a tune, I reach the bathroom and am about to put my hand on the door when the front door suddenly swings open.

Looks like I kept you waiting, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka). (?)

I involuntarily freeze due to the loud sound and slowly turn my gaze in that direction.

What I see there is a familiar face, and one I never wanted to see again.

There are three people. Leading the group is a woman dressed in a wild style.

A jet-black spear on her back. Sharp eyes and black rouge lipstick on her lips. The bandit I should have left behind at the Temple of OriginAdler, narrows her eyes, smiles and lifts her right hand that was holding something like a hand mirror, and shouts loudly.

FufuRejoice. I\'ll let you be my "Mentor (Shisho)"! (Adler)

Thanks for reading! A lot of theory in this chapter, but hey it\'s just a theory, a Strange Grief Theory! Btw everyone wants to become Cry\'s apprentice. I wonder what happen to Hugh after the curse incident.
