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

Chapter 76 Fire Spread

Part 2

Just as I have reached my conclusion, Sytry came in with a slight sigh.

“This is why… I hate merchants and nobles. Each time and each time, they resort to violence with their money or their authority, and with underhanded method, they aim at Cry-san’s target, and steal his prey…”

Instead of the bag she is always carrying, she is now holding large trunks case in each of her hands.

Her expression is calm but dwelling in her eyes is a strong light.

It is a little abrupt but Sytry is a sore loser. She has a cheerful demeanor, but her core strength won’t lose against Liz.

My heart is already half broken but it seems that Sytry still want to fight.

“Cry-san, we do have … Money. We can still fight. I had delivered some of my secret potions without interest but as soon as they knew that I have a criminal record those nobles turn their jacket, tried to lay me off and return all of my potion so let’s wholesale my potion at a high price to those fat merchants and blow their bubble. Two bird one stone.”

Somehow, she is more serious than me… Didn’t our purpose change?

It seems that a strange fire has been lit in her due to the intervention of companies.

Sytry puts the trunk cases in front of me and unfasten them. What emerged from inside was shining white coins which are different from the commonly used Imperial gold coin.

An Imperial white coin is worth ten time the value of a gold coin… It is a hundred thousand Gils coins. It is not one hundred or two hundred. The white coins were so full inside her trunk cases that some spilled and fall into my feet.

The expression of Eva who is a former merchant tighten. I think even for Eva, it is the first time she sees so many white coins.

Normally, rather than using such trunk cases full of white coins, you use a check when you have to do a large transaction.

The polished white coins are reflecting the sunlight and start to shine.

How do I react to this…? I ask Sytry.

“… What, is all this?”

Didn’t you say you didn’t have money? The amount of white coins in front of me… is well over one hundred million.

Sytry’s white skin softy turns red and says.

“I kept it a secret from Onee-chan… It is my marriage funds. There is about eight hundred million.”

“!?”

“Marriage funds!?”

I see. Marriage funds, eh…

Eva opens her eyes to those unexpected words.

In the first place, it is way too much money for marriage funds, I mean, when did you start saving it? I mean, you really have a good head on your shoulder, I mean, do you have someone? I mean, there are many things I want to say but such important money, I can’t accept it lightly.

Heavy. It is too heavy, Sytry. It is not on the level you can take it out on a whim.

“No. Initially, I was planning to use it for Cry-san so I wonder if I can use it a little ahead, or something…”

Sytry has her ears turning red and says something I doesn’t understand.

“Eh…? Those marriage fund, don’t tell me those are my marriage fund?”

Even though we are old friend and don’t share the same blood you saved money for me? No way.

“? No, it is for my marriage fund though…? But if you think of it as a money deposit…”

“The money deposit is paid by men.”

It is something you pay for the person you will marry later.

Sytry makes a soft look and hit her hand *pon*.

“You are right… But look, here. After all, when we get married, we have to cooperate with each other. I am after all the serving type… kusukusu.”

“Un, un, you are right. Hahahaha…”

Sytry is unexpectedly airhead.

Eva who had been silent until now suddenly shook my shoulder as I was chatting.

“What, are laughing at, Cry-san! If you keep going on, you will get married!?”

“Eh… No, no, don’t be stupid.”

Eva’s expression was serious. In Eva’s head, how does she saw Sytry?

It is Sytry’s usual bridal joke. Apparently Sytry has the desire to get married.

I will get… Married? I have never thought about it. It is only once in a lifetime so I should retire from being a Hunter and I settle down on a steady job before seriously thinking about it.

“If we obtain the auctioned Relic, let’s have it as stand-in for Cry’s engagement ring.”

Eh… No way. No matter how it is, a flesh mask won’t become a ring.

Sytry continues with a passionate voice while contrary to her small suggestions I am calm.

“For me… If you could, like… If you could give me one ring that Cry-san has collected, then…”

There is no problem here. My collection is important but Sytry and the other are more important than it. There is nothing wrong with parting with one ring-type Relic.

But won’t it be too advantageous for me?

Except the barrier finger there isn’t a lot of ring that is worth eight hundred million.

How do I repay Sytry for all this? When I cross my arm to think, Eva comes in front of me and strongly hits the desk. I look down at Sytry who is smiling *nikoniko*.

“Sytry-san… Didn’t you say you will let, Cry-san repay, all of his debt?”

“Eh…? No, no he doesn’t need to… Our bond isn’t so weak to be broken with a debt.”

“Financial trouble is the number one reason for a Hunter’s Party to collapse!? In the first place it is because you have that kind of attitude that Cry-san is so lax with money…”

“Eh…? No, no. I will take over the sloppy Cry-san, so you don’t need to worry…”

“This isn’t the point I want to make!”

Eva’s response is firm even against a High-Level Hunter.

For the time being, I told Liz to never touch the staff, but I am glad that I said those words.

“Don’t! Make! Our! Clan Master! Swear! Weird! Promise! Please! If there is! Weird rumor! About it! What would you do! Ah, ah… We will, definitely, repay, the debt. Even this times, Sytry’s marriage fund, will also be repaid, completely. Do you understand?”

“…Haa. This is why, I hate, merchants.”

Sytry raises her shoulder as if she was giving up. When Eva saw this her expression returns to the usual.

I have no word to say. I am completely on leash.

Imma sick of it. Sytry’s marriage is more important than the 『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』. I just thought that I wanted to get it if it was reasonably cheap. I am sorry that my sense of money is out of order.

… I wanna puke.

“Please look at me, Cry-san. I will show you that I can definitely get it.”

“In the end, is it really fine… I am sure it will be really expensive. There is the possibility, that eight hundred million will be insufficient…”

I tried to randomly raise an appropriate reason to stop her but there is no way that eight hundred million won’t be enough…

When Sytry hears my word, she clenches her fist.

“Come on… You don’t need to hesitate because of me. I can collect more. I will show you that I can get it with any means necessary. For now, let’s spread a bad reputation for that Relic, it is easier to lower the price than to collect money!”

“Ah, un. …… No, no, no… Do, do it moderately, okay?”

When I look at the brilliance in her eyes, I decided to stop her rampage no matter what.
