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

Chapter 336.1: Great Idea

!??? Eeeeeeeh??? Something so fun happened while we were asleeeep!? (Liz)

In the inn of the town inside Mimic-kun's. Liz listens to my story and lets out a thunderstruck voice.

In the dimly lit dining room, lit by a lamp, all the Members of Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) are present. It hasn't been that long since they collapsed, but apparently, they are already back to full strength. Not only Liz, but Sytry, Lucia, Anthem, and even Tino are listening to me as if nothing has changed from the usual.

To come all the way here, we really got the attention of a troublesome opponent All because Onee-chan couldn't finish them off properly (Sytry)

Noooo, I was surprised too. Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) was chilled over too. (Cry)

Luke's curse-lifting operation is truly a series of surprises in many ways.

After all, when we entered the Treasure Shrine after making sure there was nothing there, Phantoms appeared in front of us, and just when I thought this was bad and tried to run away, the "Demon King (Maou)" that Liz and the others had chased away burst in and started a big war. It was all a mess.

That was tough, Master~ And, uh Who won? (Tino)

Eh? I don't know because we slipped out halfway through. (Cry)

!? Eh???? (Tino)

Uuumu. (Anthem)

Tino makes a face like a pigeon that has been hit by a peashooter and Anthem groans.

However, it is simply amazing that Tino also recovered from her intoxication at the same time as everyone else. I really wanted Tino to experience the atmosphere at that time. I really didn't know what to do Adler and her group were saying a lot of things, but I had no idea what they were talking about

Cry-chan, I'll definitely be there next time!! My intoxication's gone and my body's in great shape! (Liz)

No matter how many times I experience it, I can't get used to that feeling of being in great shape the day after not feeling good. (Lucia)

Lucia lets out a small sigh.Follow current s on ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

The advantages and disadvantages of Mana Material  Intoxication are two sides of the same coin. Excessive absorption of Mana Materials can temporarily seriously worsen your physical condition, but Mana Materials is basically something that makes you stronger the more you absorb them.

This time, all of our Members, including Anthem, collapsed due to Mana Material Intoxication. In other words, now that they are back in shape, their abilities are higher than before they collapsed.

They were already strong to begin with, but how will they be now? It is a little scary, but in the current situation, the more fighting power we have, the better.

So What are we going to do now? (Lucia)

Uuuun I guess we will just have to wait and see for now (Cry)

As for what to do next will depend on the outcome of the battle between Adler and the Phantoms.

It is going to be quite a hassle no matter who wins, but we don't have enough information to decide what to do next.  I have sent Eliza on a reconnaissance mission, so I am waiting for her report.

And there, Lucia has a slightly sullen expression on her face, so I add some information.

I understand the level of the Phantoms in the Temple of Origin. In order to do something about those PhantomsThat's right. We need an unusual method. (Cry)

The army that Adler summoned from the rift in space was clearly not a force that normal bandits could have. In addition, if what she said was true, Adler's army back then was more powerful than when they fought against Liz and the others. And although I don't know that much detail because we quickly escaped, there is no doubt that the Phantoms from the Temple of Origin are as powerful as Adler's army.

No matter how incredibly talented Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) is, it will be difficult to face them head-on. Phantoms are the enemy. And Adler is also an enemy. It seems like both of them are enemies right now, but when I am unlucky, it gets awful, so there is a possibility that they might join hands.

The best thing would be for the two to settle the matter in a near-total destruction situation, but Well, I guess I can't expect much of it.

As I smile nihilistically, Tino *pikuri* twitches her cheeks and whispers.

A-An unusual method that Master's~ has thought off (Tino)

You don't need to be so worried, it is not like I am thinking about something. The only thing I am thinking about is that we need to avoid fighting.

I will say it again and again, but our purpose is not to enjoy the Super-High-Level Treasure Shrine we found for the first time in a while but to help Luke. For that purpose, I would become a demon or a devil. Well, if it seems impossible, I guess we can run away.

As I make a firmNo, soft resolve. Sytry holds my hands as if to entice me and asks me in a sweet whisper-like voice.

Actually, there is something I want to try too! We will still be in Yggdra for a while, right? (Sytry)

Un, un, that's right. (Cry)

Why is Sytry's eyes *kirakira* sparkling even in such an emergency situation? Have you forgotten that Luke has been petrified?

Try what? Well, it is good that you are curious, but are you going to do an experiment in a situation like this? 

When I shrug my shoulders, I look around at everyone and say.

For the time being, I have something in mind, but if you come up with any good ideas, please let me know. We don't have much time anymore you know (Cry)

By the way, what I am thinking of is to have Liz rush back to the Imperial Capital and call Ark and his team.

It is quite a distance to the Imperial Capital and Ark is someone busy, so I don't know if he is in the Imperial Capital or not. There are many uncertainties in this strategy, but the opponent is a god. We have no choice but to rely on god for this too.

Thanks for reading! Love Tino's reaction when Cry said that they need an "Unusual" method. If the Usual Infinite Trials are not gonna work, then what is going to happen on this Unusual Infinite Trial!?
