Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~
Chapter Summary
Master~ who has many enemies usually has an escort when he goes outside. And there have been times when Tino has been chosen when I was much more inexperienced than I am now, but a Level 8 doesn't need an escort in the first place. Tino can't do it, but if you reach Level 8, you should be able to easily fly in the sky and if you want, you can also ask Lucia Onee-sama to carry you.
Chapter 298.
1: ProphecyBreathing steadily, I stand ready behind Master~.
When I sharpen my nerves and prepare to respond to anything that may come, I feel like I have become a splendid first-class Hunter.
It had been a long time since I had been Master's~ escort.
Master~ who has many enemies usually has an escort when he goes outside.
Sometimes he has an escort even when he doesn't go outside.
Perhaps, rather than being his escort, it was probably for the purpose of interacting and checking your abilities.
And there have been times when Tino has been chosen when I was much more inexperienced than I am now, but a Level 8 doesn't need an escort in the first place.
Usually, it is the members of Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) who is in charge of being his escort.
Onee-sama and everyone else is always busy, but there are many times when someone is available for some reason, so except when Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) are on a hunt, I am rarely picked.
There is no other choice but to call it luck that Tino is the only one who has free time today.
A good amount of tension and excitement filled Tino's entire body.
I am usually ready to give it my all at any time, but my condition is perfect today.
It's not like it's been a long time since we've seen each other, but it's been Quite a while since we've been alone together.
That alone feels great.
There are two types of escort missions: Trial missions and Non-Trial missions.
When strange incidents are happening, it is often the former case, but my Master~ intuition told me this.
This time, it is probably the latter.
It's still a little noisy, but it seems that the recent series of strange disturbances seem to have settled down to some extent, and Master~ says he doesn't plan to go outside for a while.
He also got involved with a terrifying Relic Box (Which Master~ seems to have named Mimik-kun), and albeit few, we also achieved our quota of Trials.
In the first place, the Imperial Capital is basically safe, so I don't think anything more will happen.
In other wordsThis is like a date.
We aren't going out, but this is something like a date.
I don't know why he needs an escort when he's not going outside, but it's a date.
It must be what you call a house date.
The ring I found was delivered to him properly too, so I feel that my luck is going in the right direction.
We finally found a contractor for the Lounge which had been half destroyed during the attack and the cleanup was progressing smoothly.
The crack that you could see here and there on the floor had already been fixed, so all that remains is to replace the glass and the broken tables with new ones and everything will be back to normal.
In a corner of the Lounge.
Master~ was facing the Carpet at a table that was fortunately spared from the attack.
He has a very serious expression on his face as he places Mimik-kun, possibly the most fearsome Relic Tino has ever seen, beside him.
That carpet is not just any carpet.
It is one of the most well-known Carpet Relics in the world.
He received it as a reward for escorting the Emperor, but according to what I heard from Lucia Onee-sama, it won't let people ride on top of it even though it is a Flying Carpet.
The carpet remained calm even after being summoned by its master.
While crossing its legs (?
), it holds a cup of coffee that it hasn't had in its hand (?
) and looked (?
) at Master~.
It acted like a prominent man.
If it wasn't a RelicAnd if Tino's role wasn't to stand behind and guard Master~, I would have chastised it.
I'm used to Master~ starting things out of the blue, but what on earth is he going to do this time?
Tino was hoping that we would be able to talk together for the first time in a long time and even go out to eat some sweets.
I kill my breath and watch the situation like a loyal knight.
Master~ closed his eyes for a few seconds and crossed his hands, but when he opened his eyes, he stared at the carpet quietly and said.
You know, I think you are a guy who can do much more, you know.
To begin with, the Flying Carpet is one of the most famous Relics and its usefulness is no less than that of a Magic Bag.
Moreover, you have high specs on everything you need for a flying carpet, whether it is about the space, payload, travel speed, and required magic power in order to be used.
Of all the Relics I own, you definitely have the most potential.
This is something to be proud of.
(Cry) (Tino)Believe in your power, Car-kun.
I don't know what happened to you in your past, but you can't continue to lead a debauched life with the other carpets.
You are not the kind of man to stop here!
This is my advice as a friend.
Fly And carry people with you!
I am sure you can fly as high as you want and faster than anyone else!
(Cry)Master~ You're preaching a carpetIn response to what Master~ said, the carpet *tonton* tapped the table with its finger (?
).
It was obvious that it was not listening.
Well, the first question is where its ears are in the first place, but Master~ really has a lot of different Relics.
My common sense on Relics is already a mess because of him.
In the first place, why is Master~ so obsessed with flying carpets?
The reason why flying carpets are particularly famous and fetch a high price is because they are very sought after by merchants and the like.
If Hunters want to fly in the sky, all they have to do is to fly themselves.
Tino can't do it, but if you reach Level 8, you should be able to easily fly in the sky and if you want, you can also ask Lucia Onee-sama to carry you.
As I was *musumusu* squirming and watching the world's most unusual sermon on a carpet, Master~ says with even more fervor.
If you are not confident, I will help you practice hand-in-hand.
Let's increase what you can do little by little.
(Cry)Does carpet even have hands Rather, if you're going to be so nice to the carpet, please be nice to me, Master~!
When I was swallowed by the box and properly got the ring, he didn't praise me for it.
It's just a little bit, but I feel like I want to become a Relic when I'm reborn.
Please teach Tino various things too.
The carpet did not change in any way its reaction to Master~ whose status was getting lower and lower.
If it had been Tino, I would have been so happy that I would have wagged my tail if Master~ spoke so kindly to meNo, sorry, Master~.
I might think that there's something behind it.
Because that's how I've been subjected to special training for so many years nowLook at Mimik-kun.
It is an exceptionally excellent Magic Bag!
It is at a Level where you are asking if you even need this many functions.
But I'm sure if you try, you'll be able to do this too (Cry)The carpet *peshiri* slapped Master's hand as he reached for it with a desperate expression on his face.
After being treated so badly, Master's~ expression changed.
Master~ Why are you looking so happy!?
However, that's as far as it goes.
Tino is an escort, but I can't stand by and watch the carpet go unattended any longer.
We don't even know when people will come into the Lounge.
To begin with, even though we are alone together, why am I left out.
Even if it is a Relic, why should an inorganic object interfere with my date?
I make a dignified expression and *panpan* clap my hands to get Master's~ attention.
Master~, please leave it to me.
With the training techniques that Lucia Onee-sama taught me, I will definitely make that Car-kun obedient!
(Tino)Eeeeh It is fine even if you don't do that.
He is a child who can do it if he tries.
(Cry)This is not good!
We can't show who we are if we don't do this!
(Tino)It is outrageous to take advantage of Master's~ kindness.
Even a carpet should be beaten into a pulp by an Infinite Trial.
And then, it should learn its place!
Even Tino is a girl who can do it if she tries.
Even for Tino, who has received various requests in the past, it will be the first time I will have to catch a carpet.
I take a stance and slowly approach the carpet.
The carpet's shoulders (?
) shivered when faced with Tino's serious expression, and then gently floated up to pass over Tino's head to finally go behind Master's~ and clung tightly to his back.
I unintentionally swallow my breath.
Its movement was too natural.
As one would expect from a carpet that Master~ took a liking to, it seems it is no ordinary carpet as it was able to go over my head.
Hh What audacityNo, how despicable to use Master~ as a shield Or rather, please resist a little bit more, Master~!
(Tino) Wait a sec?
If I can't get on it, why not just put it on like a cape?
(Cry)Master~ says something funny and ties the carpet tips in front of him like a cape.
It's not good, when Master~ is like this, he is useless.
Thanks for reading!
Look at the carpet being so smug Looks like the hierarchy of power in Strange Grief is about to change XD But Tino, don't worry Car-kun will not take your place as the mascot of Strange Grief
