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

The confusion, the anger, the mockery, stood in the venue on purpose.

I'm not proud of it, but I'm good at dirt.

All I could do was take responsibility for not being able to fight and not even accompany Hunt anymore. Because my childhood breeders will never apologize, and if they do, they will not be bad.

Even this time, Liz didn't ask me to just follow her on her own. Even if Luke caused a problem, for example, it's a bad sword saint who put indiscriminate slaughter on security. In the first place, I'm not their guardian.

But I can't help but say so. I even bow my head and ask forgiveness. [M]

To date, various scandals have been wiped out in one dungeon. Some of them are beauty stories for some reason, and I've made them cry.

But I didn't expect to be grounded in front of the Emperor in a meeting of origins...... something too terrible has made it fun the other way around.

I feel sick with my freshly grated shirt sticking in cold sweat.

If you get your tongue out, you're staring at the fluffy carpet from a distance that's likely to touch the floor, and the blemishes just fit in a little bit, and a calm voice waves from overhead.

"... even if they bow their heads like that, yeah. I haven't even said hello yet... Thousands of Changes, give me your head. We should explain the situation first."

It is the voice of His Majesty the Emperor. Apparently, there's nothing that could be cut off at once.

Now, how can I be forgiven? No... you can no longer be exempt from punishment more than you have broken the rules.

His Majesty the Emperor seems to be quite forgiving, and I should be honest with you. When I raise my head, I apologize with all my heart.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. My party members seem to have followed me on their own. I said you can't take me with you, but you always have the personality to follow me... no offense, I just love every festival... accidentally"

It's really a troublesome thing for Liz to be casual.

That's something similar happened many times before, but I didn't think it was enough to break into the emperor's event.

"Accidentally..................?............... What's going on with the castle security? No matter how disrespectful you are, you don't have to be rude."

His Majesty the Emperor frowns and looks around.

Blood draws from the faces of the knights in charge of security who were gathering.

But I don't want to pursue the responsibility of the knights of security. Liz is a bandit. I almost forget about it because it's always raging around, but she boasts not only combat abilities, but also high enemy abilities, and her ability to hide herself is top notch.

Says before the knights open their mouths.

"No, I suppose you have no problem with security, Your Majesty. She is a bandit. It will also be unavoidable that the castle security passed inside without any notice of her intrusion................ oh sure, I was surprised when I found her under the table in this venue where strict security was supposed to be laid, too. Ha ha ha..."

Rarely, Liz is quiet. He opens his eyes and breathes roughly, but there are no signs of rumbling.

Mr. Gark is turning his face bright red. Kaina, who probably has accompanied her, doesn't have the usual smile.

His Majesty narrowed his eyes. My body strengthens my sharp gaze.

"I see... I mean... is this what you're trying to say? The security of this castle was so monstrous that I accidentally let it in, it was bad."

Why does that happen? You didn't say that.

Security is not incompetent, as far as I can tell, the security of this castle was appropriate. It's just that our Liz is too awesome.

The knights are staring at me like they could just kill someone. I guess the reason I'm not exaggerating is because this is where His Majesty is.

This country is an absolute monarchy. His Majesty the Emperor is the supreme power, and the word takes precedence over anyone.

Rotate your head desperately. Here's the bad one.

But shallow the wound… shallow as possible. Worst case scenario, we all just want time to get out of this country.

"Yes, no... that sort of thing... oh, just... yeah. I'm sure she hasn't been tested for invitations."

The entrance to and exit from the venue was firmly secured by the knight, and I was also confirmed with an invitation upon admission. I don't know how Liz got in, but if you think about it well, there's also the possibility that security is incompetent... No, no, no, let's be modest. There's nothing good about making enemies.

His Majesty the Emperor remained silent with his eyebrows frowned for a while, but eventually nodded heavily.

"... apparently, later... you'll need to speak to the Secretary of Security"

"Sire! We should capture them first."

"But there must be many leading Zebuldia hunters present on this occasion. You sure nobody noticed?

His Majesty looks around without answering the prophecy from a knight equipped with fine armor.

The emotion that stood in that voice was stronger than anger.

I guess so, it's weirder not to notice. If Liz was suspicious, they'd all be dead, right? Aren't we innocent?

"Oh man, it's utterly impudent... since when did Zebuldia let guests guard her?

Out of the crowd, a frightened voice rose. It's a sound.

What came out was an old woman in a red robe like a flame. The spine is pinned and quite tall for a woman. But its appearance is engraved with countless deep wrinkles, and behind the crimson eyes as embedded in it is a burning light.

To a woman who could not see any respect for the emperor, but no one around her pinched her mouth. I shrink, too. [M]

Women are exceptional magicians. Son of the Red Lotus, certified Level 8 with unlike me, is one of the finest magic conductors in the Empire (Magi) - "Abyss Fire Extinguished".

He just halved the Empire the other day, but there's nothing in that voice that seems to care about it. No matter how powerful this old exorcist is, there is a verse that has no respect for the burning opponent.

I slip away and retreat so that I can't find it in those diminutive eyes.

It's the epitome of hand before mouth. I don't know why such a dangerous person has been invited to the 'gathering' every time, but it's probably because you can burn the Imperial Castle if you don't invite him.

The Wizard, known for attributing anything that faces his teeth to ashes, continues flat among the gaze of countless reproaches.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to take part in security... but I'm going to protect your life. Just in case a host is assassinated while I'm here, it's my ticket."

I'm really glad she's not a party member. I guess it's accompanied by a familiar boy demon mentor holding his forehead.

I think this grandmother is more rude than Liz.

"Abyss Fire Extinguished," Speaking of guests, a little mouth... should be cautious. I know your sexual roots... "

The first person to open his mouth to the word was Ark in a white tuxedo. "Abyss Fire Extinguished" glanced at the arc with his mouth pinched, but once he sounded his nose and grinned deeply. Apparently, the arc is non-combustible.

I can see some of the attendees breathing relief in the arc that comes forward.

Rodin is a house of particular relevance to the imperial nobility as well. Even the imperial aristocrats are convinced of what the hunters do.

"But Your Majesty. Thicken your guards before you capture them... I was wondering if we should listen."

"If level eight hunters wanted to do that, they would. It doesn't suit me sexually, but that kid is especially good at that. You should be thankful you've broken in in in a calm way. Hey. I wouldn't be such a pain in the ass if I were you."

I don't want to be left with people like you who don't think you're going to kill them if you don't leave a body.

"Abyss Fire Extinguished" is pointing its index finger at this one, which was a savior.

"It's a waste of time. I'll get this crap over with. Kid, be honest. It would be possible to break in. But why did you imitate it like you could find it?"

"Because I was a fool."

"... I'm not going to tell you a joke... kid. Let's forgive him for the first time. I don't... I don't like to play tricks."

I don't care what you say... I know I'm not comfortable with it, but I'm not kidding.

How can I answer without being wiped out of charcoal......

One of the knights says in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, this man... was giving something to his people under the table"

Apparently they were seeing everything. If you know so much, it seems easy to understand why... but maybe you're going to humiliate me in the eyes? Then why don't we take it spoiled? Even if that lowers the level, there's no choice.

I raised my hands to show my willingness to surrender and sighed small.

"I'm sorry. It's very hard to say, actually, I'm not too strong for poisons and medicines... so the wine didn't fit my mouth a bit -"

"!? Poison or... medicine, you say!?

His Majesty the Emperor opens his eyes. Mr. Gark's expression becomes more rugged and "Abyss Fire Extinguishes" narrows his eyes.

That's right. It's a pitiful story, isn't it? I had no idea Hunter's normative level 8 would expose such an ugly state. But you can't drink what you can't.

"It's a really pitiful story. Ha, but don't get me wrong, see, Liz doesn't leave it properly, does she? I'm the only one who can poison you."

The place was quiet. A knight man, ignored earlier in his speech to His Majesty the Emperor, kneels vigorously on the spot.

"Your Majesty, I need your permission to cut this man off! We're trying to make a lie and confuse this place. At this traditional meeting, alcohol and dishes are mixed with poisons and medicines… it is absolutely impossible. We also monitor everything during cooking and inspect it without a neighborhood just before we carry it in."

"Oh, sure, to this extent for hunters, you might not even call it poison or medicine. But as strange as I say, it's poisonous enough from the average person. Doesn't that make sense enough for the host who set it up?

"Stupid. A setup... a setup, you say!? There's no such thing as poisoning alcohol or cooking!

That's crazy...... I can't talk to you.

My surroundings were bogged down. The great ladies are turning their faces bright blue.

Is that a bad way of saying it? Are you saying something funny about me?

"I'm sorry I can't read the air. If it's a bad way to say setup… let's call it a tradition"

……

"You don't have to cut the shira so much. What is it? If this wasn't tradition... the Imperial Castle security would be so monstrous as to allow intruders to attend meetings attended by His Majesty the Emperor, and so dumb that he wouldn't notice if the alcohol mixed with poison..."

I'm not having a home party. Exactly. That's impossible.

In my words, a great knight rises up and argues with a strong tone.

"Bye... that's ridiculous. Then what? Is that what you're saying when you find a poisoned cup and you don't report it, you behave like a member of your own party?

"Yes."

"Heh... Impossible, Your Majesty..."

Apparently, my predictions were wrong.

His Majesty the Emperor had closed his eyes for a while, but made a quick decision.

He looks grand, stares around, and gives instructions.

"Call the magician and let him examine all the booze and dishes. If that word is true, some trace will be found. It is forbidden to touch alcohol or food until the end of the examination. Is there anyone out there?

Those present leave the table at the same time, to the word of His Majesty.

Now, in case you don't find anything, it's all going to be my fault.

§

And after inspecting all the food and beverages, the policeman's complexion had passed through the pale and had now turned into a dying look.

"Impossible, not..."

There is a magic called "Poison Detection". Famous magic for detecting poisons and drugs.

It is a preliminary magic that must be a party or hunter party attended by these dignitaries.

Although it is not possible to identify in detail the types of poisons, etc., most of the existing poisons and drugs are caught up in this magic. It's a magic that can definitely be played if people are poisoned with reasoning novels and such.

So... if poison is infused with food, etc., at least this magical, uncatched poison is often used.

But now, one dish was clearly responding to the 'Toxic Detection (Ditect Poison)' of the Wizard brought by His Majesty the Emperor's command.

Where have you been so high, the guard turns to me for help and gives me a trembling voice?

"'Poison Detection' is fundamental. Sure...... I should have done the magic. Other than that, I used all sorts of detective magic. The leak... never."

"But this is how the reaction is actually... Should I say I'm glad the victim didn't come out..."

That's right, His Majesty the Emperor did not break his fortitude even in this state. Perhaps being an emperor is well tolerated to poison.

No, if you're a nobleman, you should be taking as much action as you can to combat poison.

"Apparently… as unprecedented as it may be, 'The Collection of White Swords' has to be opened"

Face to face with His Majesty's words.

That's crazy...... that's crazy.

Only alcohol reacted in my "Right Silver Crown (Silver Brace)". At least, the food didn't respond.

Although the effects are slightly different in Correct Silver Crown (Silver Brace) and Toxic Detection (Diect Poison), it is unlikely that Correct Silver Crown (Silver Brace) will miss out on poisons that are reactive in Toxic Detection (Diect Poison). And I generally cover all types of dishes. [M]

One of the Wizards speaks up. In that hand is the glass Liz was using.

"But, Your Grace. Look, from the glass... no response"

".................. Find out more about the type of poison. And how it was planted. I didn't know you were going to water the" gathering ".............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In a voice with unfathomable emotions, the Wizard trembles, and the knights of his subordination scatter the nearby aristocracy.

The only time my "Right Silver Crown (Silver Brace)" reacted was with alcohol.

But on the other hand, the only thing that "Toxic Detection (Diect Poison)" showed a reaction was cooking. Just one of the dishes.

Whatever was wrong with alcohol, there was hardly anyone with a hand in cooking. It is obvious that no one is caught that they planted the poison.

You didn't even aim at me. Ordinary high level hunters take action against poisons, and some can use detoxification magic. It is visible that it will only have the result of messing up the place in vain.

"Toxic Detection" is applied to everyone in turn.

I was particularly mindful of the magic hanging on me, but I can't possibly bring in poison or anything. I was just a little worried about Citrie, but apparently she cut through safely.

Discovering poison in "The White Sword Gathering"...... would suck for Zebuldia.

Well, it's where we want the gathering to be. The discovery of poison is likely to make Liz's intrusion absent. Is it someone's conspiracy or something... I don't know what I'm after or how, but it's not my job to look into it.

Likewise, Abyss Fire Extinguishes, which breaks through the examination, distorts the lips and leaks disturbing inclusive laughter about what's funny.

"Goddamn it, I've been... calm. Something's going on..."

And "The Gathering of the White Sword", which was supposed to be an honorable meeting, remained a disturbing air, leaving only the roots of evil between me and Zebuldia, with the result of closing the curtain.

By the way, apparently it was Citrie who poisoned the cook.

He thinks I'd be a pinch if I didn't find anything like this, and he snuck in before His Majesty the Emperor kept people away from the food. I'm going to cry.
