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

Chapter 373.1: Prestige

What a strange smell. So this is A human country, I see. And also, this buildingYou have built it so high without using trees Why would you do that!? (Serene)

I dont know what to say if you ask me why. But you are not going to ask how, huh.

Now, Serene You transferred inside the Clan Masters Office, didnt you? When Serene was sending me off, she said it was a pain to have to check and specify the destination before using Teleportation Magic, so I guess she avoided that trouble this time. Maybe she will keep transferring to the Clan Masters Office from now on? No, it is not like I particularly mind.

But still, she is here a lot sooner than I expect. I *jirojiro* stare at her outfit carefully, frown and say.

What happened to the reconstruction of Yggdra, which has turned into a wasteland? It seems like You are not, in your comfortable mode. (Cry)

I have left command to Ruin. Besides, all the Magi in Yggdra are excellent. In fact, inspection is a job that only I, the princess, can do. (Serene)

Declares Serene with confidence and with her chest puffing out.

Is that so You said something like you are here to play, but well, if that is what she says then I will leave it at that. Regardless of whether the Magi in Yggdra are superior or not, there is no doubt about their loyalty to Serene, and now that the threat is gone, Serene is free to move around as she sees fit.

Lets leave the details aside for now. The timing of her appearance is awful, but what is done is done. Lets stay positive.

I couldnt go outside because I didnt have an escort. Serene will be more than enough as an escort.

I guess it cant be helped. If you want to look around, I will show you around the Imperial Capital. Do you like sweets? I will show you some great shops. There are even stores selling Relics. (Cry)

Human, I gratefully accept your proposal. However, I would like to make it clear that I am not here to play. Please do not forget that. (Serene)

Says Serene in a good mood. I guess she is curious after all.

Even at this point, Gark-san and Franz-san are still completely out of the loop. They still havent said a word. It is the first time I have seen both of them so lost in thought. Kaina-san and Franz-sans subordinates are also watching the exchange between Serene and me with bated breath.

The Princess of Yggdra who has teleported inside the Imperial Capital is likely an extremely sensitive issue for both of them. It is clear that she has entered the country illegally, but she is a member of the Yggdra Royal Family, whose existence is unknown up until now. It would be troubling if they were to lose the diplomatic relations that were about to begin due to a legitimate complaint.

And the reason why I havent been yelled at yetIs probably because they cant scold me in front of the head of Yggdra. Serene, what a fearsome girl.

Among the frozen members, the first to successfully speak up is Eva, who is sitting next to me.

She is aware of herself. She is aware of the responsibility and the need to pursue the Clans interests in my place!

Uh-Umm Cry, -san? Surely, that person over there is (Eva)

At these words, Serenes gaze finally leaves me and looks at Eva.

She has a puzzled look on her face, as if to say, why are you there. Well, it is understandable that Gark-san and the others are completely frozen by Serenes sudden appearance, but even though there are so many people around, Serene completely ignored everyone except me, so it seems that there is something fundamentally different about her than that of other humans.

Well, it is not like the two of us can keep interacting together like this forever.

Aaah, she is the leader of Yggdra I was talking aboutSerene. Serene, she is my right-hand woman, Eva. She is working hard in my place to make sure the Clan doesnt fall into ruin as I do whatever I want. If you need anything, just let Eva know. She will help you. (Cry)

Eh!? (Eva)

Make sure the Clan doesnt fall into ruin as I do whatever I want Aaaaah (Serene)

Serene nods as if she understands something, then says with a captivating smile to Eva, who has frozen in place at her sudden gesture.

Nice to meet you, I am Serene Yggdra Frestel. I will be in your care. (Serene)

Li-Likewise Thank you very much for your introduction. I am Eva Renfeed. If there is anything I can do for you, I will be happy to assist you on Cry-sans behalf. (Eva)

I see that you are excellent. I will remember you. (Serene)

Good, good, good. It seems like Serene can recognize other people if I introduce them to her.

Lets introduce everyone else while their judgment is still impaired. I dont think I will be of any use to Serenes future activities. I am second to none when it comes to pushing work onto others (Or you can say I am good at passing the hot potato).

I stand up, walk around to where Gark-san is while he is frozen in place and *bambam* tap on his shoulders, and say to Serene.

And this is Gark Welter, the head of the Imperial Capital Branch of the Explorer Association. This is the person to talk to when talking about setting up a branch in Yggdra. Thats right If I have to say, I would say he is something like my left-hand man. Haha (Cry)

!? O-Oi, hey!? (Gark)

Alright. (Serene)

Serene nods without a trace of suspicion even as Gark-san stands up in a panic. It feels like she is imprinting him or something. Finally, I put my hand on Franz-sans shoulder and say.

And this is Franz-san. He is a big shot in Zebrudia. If any problems arise, I am sure he will be able to solve them. He has been very helpful to me, so if you are ever in trouble, just ask Franz-san. He will even cover up your application for entry into the Capital (Cry)

Hh Y-Yeah, thats right. (Franz)

Alright. So Which arm is that human? (Serene)

!? (Franz)

Serene blinks and asks a simple question. She has a bit of a naive side.

Which arm, you say? People only have two arms, you know. I look down at Franz-san, who sounds like he is choking, and reply while tilting my head.

Ummm My left wrist, or something like that maybe? (Cry)

Your left wrist I will remember it. (Serene)

!? (Franz)

She has remembered it now No, but, there is no way I can give you a good answer if you ask me something like that so suddenly. He doesnt say anything, but the veins on Franzs forehead are *pikupiku* twitching. Looks like I have done it again.

Gark-san said to bring the princess immediately, but if she really does come all of a sudden, that will be a problem too. It is too sudden, so there are surely some adjustments that need to be made.

I say with a smile to lighten the mood.

We-Well then, I will show you around the Imperial Capital right away. I am sure Gark-san, Franz-san, and the others will need some time to think things over. Eva, please listen to what they have to say, I will buy you some time. (Cry)

!? O-Oi, what a second, thats (Franz)

!! It is very helpful that you are so comprehensive. I cannot do anything without knowing about human cities and their culture after all.

As if to cut what Franz-san is about to say, Serene speaks with *kirakira* sparkling eyes.

Maybe it is no good? Too bad the timing is really bad today.

As I try to escape from reality, I smile at Franz-san whose face is bright red, and he gestures with his hands as if to tell me to hurry and get the hell out of here.

Thanks for reading! Sasuga Eva, even the Princess of Yggdra understands how important her job is for Cry to do his trials with peace of mind! Poor Franz, being stuck at being Crys left wrist. What even is the job of a left-wrist person!?
