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

de, Yowaningen, I’m just following Lapis’ orders, desu.
It means that Yowaningen’s dishonor will dishonor us too, desu.” (Kruz)

“Kruz you are such a great girl.” (Cry)

　If all Spirit People are like Kruz, it would be no wonder that humans are looked down upon.

“…… If we look at the result, everything turned out well, but the situation is quite dangerous now, desu.
So we should have a little talk, desu.
Isn’t that right, desu?” (Kruz)

“Etto…… It is not like there is any danger, though……” (Cry)

　Resultwise, the Emperor safely arrived at his destination.
And since he was attacked, he would not reduce the size of his escort on the way back.
　Air travel would no longer be possible, but land escorts should not be a problem as long as he had enough people with him.

　I never had an escort request that hasn’t been attacked, but I also never had an escort request that resulted in someone’s death.

“It’s not safe, desu! Yowaningen, you’ve brought in two traitors from the 『Fox (Kitsune)』!” (Kruz)

“Aaaaah………… That was…… A blind spot, isn’t it?” (Cry)

“You want me to punch you, desu? Hmmm? If you have a plan, clearly say it, desu! Do you have a plan, desu?” (Kruz)

’

　Kruz was getting closer and closer.
Her skin is soooo white…… I hope you will come dressed properly and not in your pajamas.
　Spirit People are supposed to be wary of humans and look down on them, but perhaps I am too much of a goofball for them to be wary of me.

　I am precious? Maybe I am precious to her? Am I being trusted?

“No, I don’t.
Now that you mention it, I forgot about Term and the otheeeer…… Where did they go?” (Cry)

　I looked all over the ship, but there was no sign of them.
They probably had been swallowed up by the 【Lost Inn】, but I can’t say for sure because I don’t know everything about that Treasure Shrine either.

“Don’t ask me! Wh-wh-wh-wh… What do we do, desu.
I honestly don’t think, I can beat that guy with his staff, desu!” (Kruz)

“Uuuuun……” (Cry)

“Once he’s on to you, it doesn’t matter how many guards you have with you, desu.” (Kruz)

　Kruz’s expression was grave.
As Spirit People excels in magic, she must be able to accurately grasp Term’s power.
Actually, I don’t really have a very accurate grasp of it.
　But it is indeed a conundrum.
Term’s ability is reliable when he is an ally, but he is extremely troublesome when he is an enemy.
Or rather, if it was the power of 《Stillwater (Shisui)》, he could have taken care of the Emperor at any time, regardless of the guards.
Why did he go to the trouble of hiding as a companion? If you’re going to assassinate someone, you should have done it when I am not protecting the target.

　And let’s not forget about Kechakchakka.
If she is as powerful as Term, then we wouldn’t be able to raise a finger against her.
My Barrier Rings wouldn’t be enough either.
The more guards we have, the more dead we will have on our shoulders.
In other words, there is nothing we can do.

　I imitated Sytry and *pon* hit my hand.

“Yosh, I get it.
I’ll take care of it.” (Cry)

“Huh? Haaaah? What are you gonna do, desu?” (Kruz)

　Kruz opens her well-shaped eyes wide.

“It’s a secret.
Well, you might think as well that you are on a mud boat1.” (Cry)

’

“………… Didn’t you mistake it for a big boat, desu.
Hey, what’s the secret, desu? Yowaningen, I am your companion, desu! Say everything properly, desu!” (Kruz)

　Kruz kept coming back at me.
It seems like she is back to normal.
　I smiled with a badass and fearless smile.

　Even if we struggle, there’s nothing we can do about it, anyway.
Even if we double our security, we won’t feel safe against Term.

　However, I have an Alchemy Ghost that will rush to me as soon as I call her.

　No matter how strong 《Stillwater (Shisui)》 is, against my full set of my ghost troup (even if the Wandering Ghost, the one who is the most ghost-like, isn’t here) winning he will not.

I wanted to put you might as well think that you are on the Titanic, but those on board the Titanic didn’t know that it will sink whereas with a mud boat you know that it will sink XD
