Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter’s Hero Dream

High level certified treasure halls often have an atmosphere as dangerous as you can see.

[Castle of Ten Thousand Demons] didn't leak into that example either, and it had such a heterogeneous atmosphere that it was understandable to look at it without knowing anything. The information that the hunters just confirmed from the outside that they gave up their housekeeping strategy is apparently not eyebrow spitting.

[Castle of Ten Thousand Demons] existed on the high ground on the cliff. The countless spires that protrude swirl with thick clouds and constant thunder. The walls surrounding the castle are enormous and you cannot peer inside. Contrary to the dark atmosphere, there is no such thing as the appearance of a demon outside, and the fact indicates the degree of threat of its treasure palace.

Mana Materials, the source of the treasure hall, is also fascinating to demons. So the vicinity of the treasure palace is often the territory of powerful demons. It shouldn't be strange for a powerful phantom beast, such as a dragon, to be in the territory of a place where a Level 8 treasure palace can be made, but [Castle of Ten Thousand Demons] doesn't see such a trend.

Destroyed, it would be natural to see. To the phantoms who nest in [Castle of All Demons].

And the fact that it remains so quiet then should be considered that that treasure hall has a highly unified phantom.

The Phantom of Intelligence is horrible. Though it rarely appears, there are theories that if the phantoms were able to retain power outside the treasure hall, the world would be consumed by the phantoms of the past.

In other words, it is not a place where petitioners with a high level of certification like me should enter.

The treasure hall moves away with tremendous momentum because the horse also couldn't help but want to escape. The wind storm was strong, but the cros manipulating the carriage were also desperate.

Tino, unfamiliar with seeing the high level treasure hall, takes his head out of the carriage window and relaxes. You look like you're going to throw up.

He must have been hit by intimidation. I used to go to various treasure halls scattered around, and I'm used to throwing up Guero, so I'm still trying to figure it out, but I know exactly how it feels. That's the normal hunter reaction.

That's when Liz looked back at the not-so-normal treasure palace where she was looking away with her eyes like an abandoned puppy.

"Klee, by the way, did you accomplish the purpose of the vacation?

"Hmmm...... maybe half"

"!? ma, still hanbu-su, sorry...... uhh..."

Tino speaks up, panicking and silencing if he has nauseated. Maybe we should stop the carriage and get some rest when we get some distance.

There were three main purposes for this vacation.

The first is to pick up Luke and the others. I can't do this anymore. Well, it was an effort goal, so you couldn't help but put it in the wrong place.

The second is to go to the hot springs and get some rest. This is going to happen.

And the third is - not to make it back to the White Sword Gathering in Empire City in time.

Needless to say, this is the most important thing. In other words, it was like there was no purpose in this vacation.

I don't want anything to happen to the White Sword Gathering! It's been less than a week since I got here. As long as it takes me to get home, I mean, I have to kill time somewhere for a week.

Even if I could join Luke and the others, go to the hot springs, get some rest, and work Liz and Tino, I wouldn't be leaving if I still had time.

It would still be better to have been dancing around the campfire with Arnold and the others if they were enough to get caught up in the gathering of the monsters. Without a party or a clan, I'd be on my own fleeing the country.

"Well, it's Klee's vacation, and Klee can do whatever she wants - I just thought [Castle of Ten Thousand Demons] was still tough on Tino..."

"... but I didn't mean to go in originally"

If it looks like Luke and the others are still here. I was going to wait outside until you came out. Exactly. If I get into a Level 8 treasure house, I'm dead. I'm going to have that much common sense.

I look at Tino in tears with a blue face and say.

"There's nothing more at stake. Well, I'm not planning on doing anything dangerous originally... hahaha"

"Wow, I don't know. Yes..."

Tino argues with my joke in a small voice. [M]

I can't laugh either. But in retrospect, isn't it all Arnold's fault?

There were a few near-misses on this trip, but if there was something that sucked directly, it was over the mountain. But if it weren't for Arnold in the first place, we wouldn't have forced him over the mountain.

"It's all Mr. Arnold's fault."

"Do you want to finish?

"... I won't"

What's the end...

All we have to do is take a slow vacation in the hot springs. I might as well take a week or so.

I'm only afraid of Arnold's pursuit, but he's just not going to follow me with a no-tip. Coincidences shouldn't last twice or three times, and the rain will erase them.

I just have to think that if I just met him at the hot spring, I'd be doomed by then. There's not much treasure to bring inside the hot springs.

"My next destination is Hot Springs. Oh, let's be careful not to enter Gladys territory only"

It's pretty close to its current location. We have to remember it by accident.

"? Hey, Klee. Is there anything on Gladys territory?

Liz gives a strange look.

Surely it's already the limit to push it through just by looking... I trust Liz and Citrine. And I intend to trust Tino as much as I do.

"Actually... you're asking for a nomination."

"Yeah? From that Hunter hater Gladys? Klee, wow! What kind of request is that?

That's - I don't know.

I haven't received a request, and I haven't decided to take it yet in the first place. I rather decide not to take it.

I will never take it. I'll never take it, I will. It's bad for Ruda, but you should just go home. I have decided not to do anything to request the nomination of a militant nobleman.

Contrary to Liz, who sparkles her eyes, Citrie proceeded to talk to me like she was so convinced.

"Okay. Then avoid Gladys territory. It's a small town nearby, but there must have been a famous place in the hot springs. Gladys' jurisdiction is shattered."

Spread the map, and Citrie gives a finger. As the words put it, it was quite critical, although the place citrie pointed to was only in Gladys territory.

I can't do anything if I worry too much, can I? You should accept it because it's not in there.

All you have to do is make it clear that if you find him, he won't take the request.

"What's a mixed bath there?

"Nor, sister! There's no such thing as a mixed bath hot spring today!

"Hmm, okay."

I'm sorry about Luke and the others, but if it's a good place, we just need to take Luke and the clan members again this time.

That's right, we'll do the liberation of Mr. Crowe and the others after we get into the hot springs and get some rest.

Otherwise, the carriage moves on making a sound that gives you a splash. Contrary to the weather outside, I felt somewhere sunny.

§ § §

Run all the way down the carpeted hallway. Hitting the maid, the young knight gave her a bitter face, but only now she ran, forgetting her modus operandi and disturbing her breath.

It was behind the mansion, the study of Van Gladys, the current head of the Gladys family. Van Gladys frowns at his daughter as she jumps in, opening the door with the momentum that hits her body.

But Eclair couldn't afford to care less about it and shouted in a high voice.

"Father, is it true that you raised a request for nomination to that" Thousands of Changes "!?

"Eclair... be discreet if you are the daughter of the Gladys"

"Answer me! Why is it in The Thousand Changes?

"I don't have the in-laws to answer... but I can't leave something noble, a hunter, to make a debt"

That sharp gaze seemed as if you were telling Eclair it was your fault. I get gaze and accidentally bite my lips.

The request for nomination from the nobility is a first-class testimony and a testament to having connections with the nobility. If that is also a request from a nobleman who hates hunters and is famous, the meaning of it extends greatly. For hunters, the mere fact that they received a nomination request from a nobleman makes a strong point.

Fame. That's what's most valuable to a hunter that nobles can pay for.

Money can also be earned by taking requests from large chambers of commerce, but fame is not readily available from anyone.

Van Gladys remained silent for a while, but continues to his daughter, who bites and silences her lips.

"But yeah... not that I'm not interested in that guy. He's the man who got to level eight, apart from the Rodin family. It is also a good opportunity to identify its strengths"

The Gladys have a reputation for hating hunters, but never just hating hunters.

It's just that I have absolute confidence and pride in my own martial arts, in the Knights I own. So if even hunters deserve to be honored, then I will reuse them, and I'm actually cordial with the Rodin family hunters. However, there is no denying that it is aristocratic, but the 'honorable value' has therefore become higher.

"So, put that barrel crusade on that guy?

"............ who told you that?

"Montor taught me"

"... the only thing sweet about you is that guy's faults"

It reminds me of the appearance of a belly-hearted decree, and Van Gladys sighs.

Perhaps you intend to make them understand what the consequences of their nonending led to. Or simply, did you consider it a topic of ecclesial preference?

Gladys territory was plagued by a certain group of bandits yesterday.

Barrel Bandits.

Cruel and resolute. It's a massive bandit regiment of hundreds combined with force and cunning.

By the prestigious Knights in their possession, they vandalized the Gladys territory, which has been feared and repelled by all criminals, attacking villages and towns everywhere.

I sent many crusades by the Knights, but all of them ended up empty. It's the difference in footwork. If you attack in large numbers, you will escape, and if you attack in small numbers, you will be returned. It's a humiliating story for Gladys, known for his martial arts.

The opponent is not as strong as that vile M.O. Even members of former high level hunters are paying back. I multiplied it by a hefty bounty, but that doesn't work either.

I had to attend an auction event as a noble responsibility, but as it is, it is possible that even criminals who have so far avoided Gladys territory will sneak in. It was an unconscious situation.

Nearby, I planned to smash it with all Gladys' might.

I was going to ask Ark Rodin for help in that, but I can tell you that this is a good opportunity in a way.

Joint operation with the Knights. Through it, you will also be able to measure the strength and depth of nostalgia of The Thousand Changes.

And if that strength were real, the face of the Knights who don't really like hunters must also acknowledge that power.

Rodin is a good and evil, a famous hunter in Zebuldia. After all, there are many members watching with colored glasses. But "Thousands of Changes" is different.

Acknowledging its power. Hence, the change would be made to Gladys, where there is hunter negligible soil.

Ask Van, who narrows his eyes, that Eclair is afraid of.

"So, Father. When will The Thousand Changes come?

"I have been contacted that I have left the capital. You'll get there soon. Forget about your past obsession and get ready for hospitality."

"... ok"

Past tenacity, etc. All Eclair has on that man is fear.

Van Gladys frowned a little worryingly for the first time at his daughter, who lowered her head as she shrunk her body.
