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

Chapter 353.

2: Sytry's Strategy ⑥If you continue to be active as a Hunter, you are bound to come across opportunities like this where you are required to steel yourself.

I find myself in desperate situations like this all the time.

This time we have members who can fight.

There is a reliable control tower named Sytry.

No need to wonder how much easier it will be compared to being surrounded by enemies all by myself, right?

Come to think of it, I didnt get to call Ark in the end.

I completely forgot about it because of Serenes impact when she became comfortable.

It is possible that even if I tried to call him, he wouldnt have accepted it tho.

Well, Nii-san is right.

There are too few cases of capturing a Temple-type Treasure Shrine.

No matter what we say, in the end, we have no choice but to fight with the resolve to die.

(Lucia)Umu.

(Anthem)I-I believe in Master~ too!

(Tino)Tino, please be a little more suspicious of me.

At that, Lapis snorts and says to Miles and Serene.

Hmph There is no need to apologize now.

The World Tree is important to the world, and it is only natural to fight for it But, I will just say this.

If the operation is successful, I will make sure that the price is paid.

For us Starlight (Hoshi no Serai), this is a matter coming from our people, but for Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) it is different.

We cannot have the Spirit People to be embarrassed any further.

(Lapis)I heard that Spirit People are kind to their relatives, but Lapis treats everyone the same no matter who they are, isnt sheee.

And apparently, it seems like Miles was apologizing to me.

However, as Lapis says, an apology is unnecessary.

It is not like we can go back in time and even without that incident, it is highly likely that things would have played out similarly in the end.

I do have bad luck.

I know.

The people of Yggdra will never forget what you have done for us.

Once this matter is resolved, we will give you whatever you desire.

(Serene) It is a courageous thing to say that we can get whatever we want as a reward.

But for Hunters, reward and risk are two sides of the same coin.

Big rewards demand big work, and I, as an incompetent Hunter, am under a lot of pressure if I am told that much.

I have to take precautions.

push({}); I dont need a reward.

When things get tough, we should support each other.

And we might not be able to do much either.

(Cry)!?

Human, you You really have no greed.

(Serene)Serene opens her eyes and says with admiration.

Kruz and the others are speechless, but Lucia and the others, who are used to my behavior, look dismayed.

It is not that I dont have greed.

What I dont have is not greedIt is the sense of responsibility that I dont want.

If you are getting paid, it means you are responsible for it.

If you are not paid, even if a problem arises and you cant do anything about it, you can use the excuse of saying that you didnt get paid for it.

Sytry, who is in charge of the overall finances of Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei), pokes me on the shoulder with a troubled smile.

Good gracious, Cry-san is saying something like that again Well, it is an experience that is difficult to have again.

(Sytry)Well, no matter what I say, Sytry will collect the rewards if necessary.

Our members are cunning.

It is because I have that peace of mind that I can say whatever I want.

The Mana Materials Stirring Devices that were taken out varied in size, but there were eight in total.

After clapping my hands, Sytry seems to have regained her composure and begins to explain.

Normally, I would have preferred to bury the device in the ground, but since we are expecting interference from the Phantoms this time, we will place it on the ground for the sake of speed.

Once the device is activated and its influence is transmitted to the Temple of Origin, the other side will not remain silent either.

I dont know how long it will take from the activation of the device until the Treasure Shrine is affected, but the other side counter-attacking us is what we want.

If they use their power without supplies, the time it will take for the Phantoms to be gone will be shortened.

(Sytry)So you dont know how long it will take before it affects the Treasure Shrine It looks like it is going to be a long battle.

Well, I will buy as much time as I can and then run away inside Mimic-kun.

The device placed on the ground looked unstable, but it looked balanced for an object.

Looking up at the device beside her with satisfaction, Sytry says.

The fateful decision will be at this time.

At exactly 10 oclock, the strategy will beginThe time to activate the device!

It is essential to activate each device at the same time in order to create a new path by interfering with the flow of Mana Materials that gather at the World Tree like a great river.

(Sytry)Everyone is listening intently.

Finally, Sytry pulls out a large blue jewel-like object from her bag and holds it out to me.

As you probably know, this is the Magic Stone that powers the device.

By inserting it, the Mana Materials Stirring Device will begin to activate.

I will now give one to you.

(Sytry)Ah, thank you.

I will use it depending on the situation.

(Cry)It will start just by inserting it in It is easier than I thought.

If it is like this then even I can do it.

I will hand out what you need.

The equipment is sturdy but it is made of glass.

Please carry it carefully.

It will be a disaster if it breaks on the way!

(Sytry)She takes out the things needed for the strategy from Mimic-kun and begins to give them.

A Mana Materials Stirring Device and a clock.

A set of Potions to be used in battle and a Magic Stone to power the device.

After going through the whole process, Adler looks sullenly at the Magic Stone she received from Sytry and says.

Then, we will begin preparations right away.

I also want to see the state of the place we will be defending.

(Adler)Quint, its your job to carry the deviceee.

(Uno)I know, I know!

(Quint)The human-sized card soldier that Quint has with him lifts the device to hold it.

I dont know where he got it, but it looks slender and seems to be strong.

Then Quint looks at me.

Right, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka).

Can you give me back the sword you took from me?

(Quint)Thats right Liz took it away from him.

There is no choice.

You wouldnt be able to fight without a proper weapon (Cry)I dont really want to give it back, but there is no result without a sacrifice.

  Night Parade (Hyakki Yako) are undoubtedly bandits, but now they are part of the strategy.

They have a more important role than me, so I wouldnt want them to lose so easily.

Even though they were able to run away from Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei), they had an army at that time.

It is unknown how long they can fight without an army.

Adler, what about that centipede?

(Cry) It is completely healed.

Thanks to you.

Yuden!!

(Adler)As soon as Adler shouts its name, the ground shakes violently.

The earth rises, fangs stick out, and a red armor that looks like it has been burned appears as if it is tearing the ground apart.

The giant centipede crawls out of the ground with Adler still on its back and lets out a strange roar.

I havent seen it since the battle in the Treasure Shrine, but it is still as big as ever.

It is too big.

I have seen Insect Monsters many times, but this is the first time I have seen one this huge.

Did she say it is an ancient species?

If insects like this were living in abundance in ancient times, I can only be thankful that I was born in the modern era.

Liz, who is looking at Yuden with her arms crossed and sharp eyes, narrows her eyes and says bluntly.

Isnt it a little shorter than before.

Is it okay?

(Liz)Everything except its head was blown off, so I guess it cant be helped.

Its okay, theres no problem with its fighting ability.

It has become stronger because it absorbed a lot of Mana Material.

(Adler) (adsbygoogle = window.

push({}); Even though it was already strong enough to take on the Phantom Army of a Level 10 Treasure Shrine, now it is even stronger I dont think I need to worry about them, but it is kind of complicated.

Uno jumps on Yuden and *hirahira* waves on top of it.

I will call you if anything happeeens.

Good luuuck.

(Uno)Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka), Ill be watching your actions with the mirror of reality.

Im looking forward to it!

(Adler)Even though bandits are bandits, I feel a little disheartening when they are so cooperative I sigh and wave back to Adler and the others as they quietly leave.

Lapis stands up, looks around at the members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai), and encourages them.

We are going too.

We cant lose to Night Parade (Hyakki Yako).

(Lapis)Sounds like she is very motivated.

If I stay here like this, I might be swept away and have to fight together.

I received what I needed, and I heard the strategy.

Lets get the hell out of here before people expect something from me.

Then I better get going too.

Good luck everyone.

We dont have much time either, so lets finish this quickly.

(Cry)Now that I think about it, there is just one problem I cant reach my destination by myself.

I check everyone one by one, and then I see Tino, who is standing next to Liz, looking out of place.

I need a Thief.

And needless to say, it would be great if that person could drive the carpet too.

Thanks for reading!

Aaah, I wonder who perfectly fits Crys description Poor Tino, having so many Infinite Trials in continue If you are in a generous mood and want to support me, I will be very grateful!
