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

Chapter 342.2: Dog's Chain

If I leave her as she is, she will probably get carried away, so I will do a follow-up just in case.

Relax your shoulders. It is the Leader's job to believe in their companions and stand strong in times like this. (Cry)

I-I see Is that how it is? (Serene)

If something happens, they will tell you something happened I understand that you are anxious because the destruction of the world is approaching, but when you are in front of a god, there is not much a humanA Spirit People can do. (Cry)

(Serene)

Serene looks down and falls silent. I think she is too pessimistic. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but when seeing her with such a sad expression on her face, it always also makes me sad too.

Then I remembered something I had been thinking about for a while.

Right, I have a great Relic that is perfect for someone like you, Serene! I will lend it to you. (Cry)

Eh? A Relic, you say? (Serene)

It is called the Perfect Vacation (Cry)

Perfect Vacation? (Serene)

Well, I will no longer be comfortable, but I don't have any plans to participate in the battle or do anything, so it won't be a problem. Perfect Vacation is also a Relic that no matter how many times I recommend it to Liz and the others, they never use it. I just wanted others to experience its power.

The effect is powerful, but apparently, people don't like the visuals Isnt it fine, it is stylish.

I was wearing it when we went to lift Luke's curse, but apparently, she didn't know its name.

I think it is perfect for you, Serene. Come on, I will lend it to you immediately Sytry, I will leave the device part in your care. (Cry)

Y-Yes Then I will leave it to you (Sytry)

Sytry says this in a slightly less excited tone than before.

What is she leaving it to me? Well, whatever. Let's have Serene try the Relic as soon as possible. Maybe my number of Relics friends will increase.

I leave the place in high spirits, accompanied by a confused Serene.

The Dogs Chain runs through the dense forests. Adler and the others are looking at this scene through the mirror of reality.

The Mana Materials flowing through the earth's veins strengthens all things. The grass and tree, which had been fully affected by the enormous power flowing through the earth, had grown to the point that you need to look up, so the small dog's chain is completely hidden in the tall grass.

It is supposed to be running, but from an outsider's perspective, it just looks like the bushes are *gasagasa* rustling.

It has been a few dozens of minutes since the dog's chain left. So far, no major problems have occurred. Uno, who is looking at the mirror with her special eyes, says with admiration.

It is running well, riiight. I never thought that a Living-Chain would have such a hidden function (Uno)

I can't think of a good use for it though. There are many monsters of similar size but smarter. (Quint)

That's for sure. (Adler)

I agree with Quint. Indeed, things are going better than I imagined. However, that only means that there are no problems at this stage.

A Living-Chain that listens to your instructions is certainly interesting, but it is only interesting. In the first place, the reason why it is so useful now is because of the Mirror of Reality that we have, so there is no reason to go out of our way to use a Relic in this situation.

Enough chitchat! There's no way Cry-chan will take the easy solution. You bastard just have to do your job! (Liz)

Liz, who is standing there as if monitoring us, clicks her tongue and shouts angrily. The sharp look in her eyes clearly shows that she is wary of us.

And that is obvious. We are not on Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) side. I just follow him because there is a merit to it. It would be disconcerting if they become too familiar with us.

In the same way, one of the Spirit People in their party who doesn't hide her vigilance comes to check something.

So Can you see the earth's veins properly, desu? (Kruz)

There's no problem on that sideee. However Even though that place is still far from the Treasure Shrine, the concentration of Mana Materials is unusual. It may be difficult to distinguish between the strong ones and the weak ones thoooo'. (Uno)

There are dense earths veins around the World Tree. What we should find this time is the point where the earth's veins that gather in the World Tree join together and form one large earth's vein.

According to the story of the head off Yggdra"Princess Serene (Serene-kojo)", who has special eyes just like Uno, there is a gathering of power so strong that you can clearly see it even if you look at it lightly.

The black-haired girl who is staring intently into the mirrorTino looks at Liz next to her and says timidly.

However, there are no animals at all Even though it is a forest with such a strong amount of Mana Materials (Tino)

Hmph. Maybe it is because the Mana Materials are so strong. The more powerful and intelligent a Magical Beast is, the more cautious it becomes. It can probably understand that the top of the ecosystem has already changed. (Lapis)

Lapis shrugs her shoulders. If it had been a Monster that we had subdued or a Thief that we had dispatched, they would have noticed the unusualness of the situation, but the Dog's Chain doesn't notice this and keeps moving forward. Fear is useful for your sense of danger. Not feeling it is both an advantage and a major drawback.

Even if an intelligent Magical Beast escapedIt would be unnatural for it to be so quiet. If anything, it is more likely that it has been Chased Away . (Adler)

As expected of a Treasure Shrine containing the Phantom of a god. It is unprecedented that the Phantoms use the power of the earth's veins to create a barrier around the Treasure Shrine, but things that deviate from common sense occur one after another. We were able to give some damage once, but we no longer have any army. I would like to avoid coming into contact with the Phantoms that created this phenomenon.

Then, at that moment, Eliza, who is staring blankly in the mirror, suddenly makes a sound as if she has noticed something.

That kid, is deviating from the planned route. (Eliza)

I check the mirror again. The dog's chain appears to be moving straight forward without any hesitation.

However, although it is hard to tell from the surface seen from the Mirror of Reality, it must be true since it is a high-level Thief who said it.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

In the first place, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) is the one who suggested the investigation route by pointing the way on the map when he gave instructions to the dog's chain.

I wondered if this was really alright, but apparently, it was not alright at all.

Apparently, it is possible for it to come back even if it gets lost, but there is no point in the investigation if it deviates too far from the route. If Eliza or Liz was the one who had been sent to investigate, this wouldn't have happened. Really, why did he use dog's chains?

As I frown and think about it, Tino suddenly says with a stiff expression on her face.

Onee-sama Uhm I hope I'm wrong but this kid Seems to be heading towards the Treasure Shrine (Tino)

Haaaah Ti~, what have you been watching at all this time? I'll say it again, there's no way Cry-chan would choose the easy solution! (Liz)

Thanks for reading! Cry never take the easy solution! What is his plan? Is he gonna provoke the Treasure Shrine with the dog's chain!?
