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

"White Sword Gathering" day. I always prayed that the thunder would fall and the Empire would not perish, but it was a wonderful and beautiful day out the window.

For the record, I'm a rain man. There is a good chance that when you go for a sea bath or mountain climb or something, you will be hit by rain.

For the most part, it rains during leisure relations, but it does not stop when such an unpleasant event occurs. Does God hate me?

The gathering of the White Sword began only after the sun had fallen. In a few hours, I will be surrounded by many nobles and many hunters, and turned into the algae scraps of the poor Empire.

I know Ark will help, but as the time approached, my stomach just ached.

Eva tells me on the desk that she is still the same as usual.

Eva was in uniform. The gathering starts at night, so I guess I'll change into a dress at night.

"... what is it, Mr. Klee?"

"I can't do this anymore. I don't want to go."

"............... What happens to me when I'm not even a party member and I can be escorted?

The look on Eva's face didn't change when she looked at me pitifully. I'm used to it because I'm showing you a little bit of crap.

And the words are the best. But there was no other choice.

"Eva has agreed to this."

"... that I declined Mr. Klee's request, was there?

"............... I don't want to go"

"No. And that's not a favor!

Sure... no. It's so rare that I can't remember it as much as I tried to remember with my eyes closed for a moment, such as when Eva asked me to do something and said no.

Well, technically, she must have been turned down for not being convenient or something, but she accepted me instantly at any time, at least for some major favors.

............... Let's rely more next time. Really, the one to have is one arm of acumen.

Stop going in and out on the desk, put your feet together on the chair and flinch back.

"Well, seriously... you don't know what would happen if I took Liz, do you?

"That's... right... but that's what Mr. Klee cares about, too"

Eva looks unexpected. What the hell does she think of me? [M]

I'm not proud of you, but I've always been a man who's been watching people's faces.

"This time it's on a scale... Look, it's me... because I've never learned how to be polite... if you don't mind, why don't you tell me?"

There are many opportunities for people to call me when I reach level 8, but I have been absent from most of them.

A massive clan master, sometimes summoned by nobles and merchants, but that is a round throw at Eva. With the exception of Hunter, the greatest person I've ever met is Gark, head of the Explorers Association's Imperial Capital Branch.

I don't want to cause any problems! It's still better this time because Liz and the others aren't around, but sadly, in politics, the harmlessness of humans and animals can also be a sin.

To my serious expression, I make my eyebrows ha-ha lettering like Eva was in trouble.

"... no... I don't have to be so elbowed, I don't think hunters require that much courtesy..."

I know that. I still... intend to be decent. [M] I even use salutations. It is as grumpy as it gets.

Yet it often pisses someone off.

I'm sure they don't like me skinny because Macchio is my favorite. Huh? Is Ark liked?... Yeah, yeah, you are.

Maybe you don't like the fact that I'm level eight, you fucking mutt. But that can't be helped unless you suddenly wake up with your hidden abilities.

"But that's right... if you want the nobles to like you, you might want to give them something"

"... a gift?

A bribe. Did you have that hand? I don't really want to get involved with each other, but the way it works... there may be. Much better than pissing me off.

Eva keeps looking at me.

"Nothing, it doesn't have to be expensive. Because a little object that can only be obtained in a high level treasure hall can become a status among the aristocrats... Look, you're famous for growing 'flowers in the sky' in the deepest part of the [White Flower Garden (Prism Garden)] that Mr. Ark attacked during this time..."

"Uh, you know, flowers that don't make any particular sense... what do you want..."

I remember because our members have picked them too. It is a clear petal flower made of mana materiale.

It was beautiful and mysterious when it came to beauty, but it's a sad thing that you can't keep your entity outside the treasure hall for long because it's not stable, especially if you don't have any power.

It is accompanied by paintings and the like occasionally decorated with castle-shaped treasure halls and the like. It's more of a part of the treasure hall than an item, so it disappears quickly like a phantom corpse when you take it home.

Presented by Liz and Citrie with a bouquet of flowers. That, too, I didn't know what to do in the end, and it disappeared at some point if I had lived in a vase in the lounge.

I have no idea what it's good for... but I can't keep them in shape outside for a long time. They don't work either, so they could certainly be status in the sense of rarity.

"We'll talk about it, and if there's anything..."

I have no idea what you think.

"Hmm, I wonder if something's happened... I'll look for it..."

Conveniently, our party just recently attacked a high level treasure house called [Castle of Ten Thousand Demons (Night Palace)].

Basically, the effect of bringing it back should be phantom drops and treasure. You can't give away the fruits of a party on your own, but the members of The Ghost of Mourning are free dams, so it's possible that they're bringing something back that's perfect for a gift, like The Flower of the Sky.

This is also one of the responsibilities of the clan master. It's troublesome but I can't help it......

When I got up, I decided to go find out if there was anything affordable to ask.

§

When the sky stains red, a carriage comes in front of the eyes of the cranhouse.

I was wearing Eva's tuxedo and holding on to my crispy stomach in the Clanmaster's room.

Firmly fitted treasure ring on fingers of both hands, treasure pendant from neck, on chain of treasure tool lowered on belt, this again treasure earrings. A bracelet-shaped treasure piece - "The Dancing Light Shadow" - is also available on the arm, a ring that could not be fitted into the nostalgia and, finally, the "Evolving Face", but still the fine dust didn't make me feel better either.

It is the ultra-high level hunters who come together for the gathering of the White Sword. What can an average person do in front of such a mixture with a bit of treasure? When I get here, I really just have to hope Ark does something about it already.

It's okay, I have an ally. There's Ark, and there's Eva. There are no gaps in both offenses.

Plus... there's a trump card. Drop your gaze on the 'gift' you have on your desk. It's okay, it's okay. I'm making a big deal out of it. I'm sure it'll work. The hunters should be taking care of themselves, as the Empire's heavy towns gather.

That's when the door to the Clanmaster's room opened.

"Sorry to keep you waiting...... what a face, Mr. Klee"

It was Eva who came in. Unexpectedly forgets his painful stomach and opens his eyes to the way he came into view.

Eva was in a long blue dress.

I look at each other like every day when I'm in Imperial City. Even though Eva hasn't changed her hair or glasses now, she just didn't wear her usual uniform and looked like someone else.

The dark dress has nothing to do with flashiness, but fits well with the grown-up Eva. Always exactly stiffened in uniform, but now she had a wide open shoulder area and an indescribable hue.

I also wear accessories that aren't very flashy, but I don't usually wear them, and I review them over and over, from my toes to the tip of my head unexpectedly.

Citrie and Liz are childhood friendly, so I still look at them with the same gaze as I did when I was a child, but Eva is different.

I fall in love unexpectedly because I'm not usually very conscious. She is only one thing older than me, but there was calm and majesty in that position that seemed very unlikely.

Damn... this could be noticeable if you were next to Eva.

But it would be if they took her. We need to keep our heads tight.

"You look great, Eva. I'm glad I asked you out."

To the praise of letting go, but Eva does not dye her cheeks, she becomes a jito eye.

"............... Mr. Klee doesn't always follow me to the party, leaving the clanmaster's responsibilities to me. If you follow me, I can show you as many times as I want."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Look, butterfly tie, it's crooked...... not at all"

Eva gets a lot closer, and she ties me up. I checked in the mirror, but I could see that I wasn't used to it.

Do you wear the perfume lightly or it smells very good. Tightening the tie tightly, Eva turned back in an elegant motion.

I feel like getting a souvenir photo. Something about it feels like a great deal.

"Come on, let's go. I already have a carriage. … So, do you want to practice? Escort well."

"Oh, of course."

It's a cash story, but I was feeling just a little better because I showed you something good. Hold the gift and go outside with Eva.

Outside the clan house awaited a carriage engraved with a Zebuldia crest. It's not the kind of carriage that will be prepared for hunters very much.

My gaze is gathering. Take Eva's hand and do an escort that doesn't know if it fits or is wrong.

As we both boarded inside, the carriage moved out with little vibration. I'm nervous, but even though I'm a clanmaster, I can't show pity in front of Eva, who's dressed.

The carriage runs like a flying.

Ahead lies the heart of Zebuldia, the most luxurious building in the imperial capital Zebuldia - the Imperial Castle. The gathering of the White Sword will take place within the Imperial Castle. Naturally, I've never been in.

Eva asks me to take a big, deep breath and relieve the tension.

"With that said... Mr. Klee, that box, what is it?

"Oh... look, Eva's taught me, it's a bribe. Trying to make my heart certificate a little better... Look, my party, it's got a lot of notoriety..."

Even during this time, Sir Gladys just asked me to nominate him...

You didn't really expect me to bring it, Eva opens her eyes unexpectedly.

"A bribe... don't say it at the venue, will you?... Is it the product of [Castle of Ten Thousand Demons]... I'd like you to tell me if I may, what's in it?

Of course I don't mind. stroke the box and answer with a smile.

"No... it's a souvenir I bought for vacation. There's nothing suitable for what I brought back from [Castle of All Demons]..."

Well, it's not unusual, but it would be better than 'empty flowers' or something. It's delicious, and I bought a lot of them, so I had a few spares.

I'd rather not give you a gift.

Eva gives a frightened look and looks at me seriously. I can see it that way.

"... Yes?... Wait a minute, a vacation souvenir? Are you serious? A vacation souvenir is a bun if……?

"... no... hot spring eggs though. It's a famous Sulphur, and it's delicious."

Besides, "Hot Springs Dragon Egg" was just a little higher than "Hot Springs Dragon Bun".

Eva pulled her cheeks and stared at me and said:

"... Mr. Klee, are you really nervous?

................................. Huh?
