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

Chapter 392.2: Jolly People

Zuri, who has been pretending to be dead in the room opposite to Kool’s, quietly remarked. Her expression still shows some exhaustion.

The vehicle is not shaking at all and is moving at an incredible speed. Especially, the way it uses the walls as footholds to run around freely makes it seem more like a Monster than a vehicle.

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 says while making a big yawn.

“In return, I will ask you guys to work for us. We are currently experiencing some problems due to a shortage of people.”

“………… What…… Did you, come here to do?” (Elise)

There, Elise, who has been silent up until now, speaks up for the first time.

After the “Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)” was over, we scouted Elise Peck as a new member, in her home country where the head temple of the “Light Spirit (Kourei)” Church is located. A Level 4 “Paladin (Shugo Kishi)”, she is the second most powerful member of 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》 after Kryhi. To be honest, the reason she was scouted was because her name was similar to Eliza’s from 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》, but she quickly became part of the Party.

By the way, the reason she became a Paladin is because by being one she doesn’t have to move around much, so she was treated as a problem child in her home country. Even though she is typically quiet and introverted, she seems to have endured being locked up in that display-like place――But I am glad to see that she has regained her energy.

In response to Elise’s question, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 smiles and answers as if he has found something fun.

“Aaah. Just between you and me, but…… I am here to protect the Royal Family of this country. There are apparently a total of seven of them……” (Cry)

“!?” (Kool)

I involuntarily open my eyes wide. I still don’t know much about the city. However, I can tell it is going to be a difficult task. However, protecting the royal family, it seems like when you are Level 8, the scale of your job also becomes larger. It is a big difference from us, who chased bandits, learned about a city called Code, and threw ourselves into a reckless battle.

“Right now, various things have happened and I am having trouble with one of them. Well, I think I can manage the request somehow, but I need some manpower until I can join up with my companions.” (Cry)

The request itself is somehow manageable, huh. As usual, his appearance and abilities don’t match up at all.

But to begin with, discussing such secret talk in public like this is in itself a sign of great confidence.

This is an Advanced Physical Civilization city, so there must be plenty of ways to eavesdrop, but Cry doesn’t seem to care at all. Is he sure he is not being eavesdropped on, or is he confident that it won’t be a problem even if he is?

To be honest, we don’t have much skill as Hunters. The events at the “Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)” have changed everyone’s mindset and we have become more enthusiastic about training, but the results don’t come so quickly. In fact, we were no help when we attacked Code. However, our inability to play an active role has led to our release, so it may not be all bad news……

Anyway, we know nothing about this city. For now, let’s completely follow 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 instructions. No matter how dangerous his order may be――Even without discussing this between us, there is no doubt that this is the best course of action we can take right now.

As I clench my fist in determination, Cry says in a light tone.

“I know, Kool, I want you to come up with a plan to rescue Kryhi.” (Cry)

…… Come to think of it, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is famous for imposing trials on people.

While my face turns pale at the sudden and unreasonable request, Cry is still making his usual smile where I have no idea what he is thinking about.

Thanks for reading! Well, RIP Kool, looks like even Strange Freak is not able to avoid an Infinite Trial.
