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

Dragons, the most powerful of the many living phantom beasts.

They say the species vary in shape, but all in all have tough flesh and immense magic, and sometimes the country is even destroyed by the power of one angry dragon.

The title of "Dragon Killer" is a testament to heroism even in modern times, and the threat of dragons is well known even in general.

But dragons don't come to people for no reason.

A mighty demon instinctively seeks Mana Materials and works along the earth's veins. When it comes to the dragon class, it creates a wide territory near the ground vein and hardly comes out of it. That was also one of the reasons why humans did not create cities over the terrain.

That raided the Imperial capital.

At least since I was based in Imperial Capital, dragons have never come to Imperial Capital, but, well, from my experience with being driven around from scattered dragons, I don't think that's an impossible story.

But it's wrong for me to have a voice. [M]

It was the Seekers Association conference room that was brought in. Maybe it's because I'm a treasure hunter.

There were Mr. Gark and Mr. Kaina in the conference room where more than ten people could be admitted, as well as a tough man equipped for the Third Knights, a few of them all.

Mr. Gark and Kaina are of course taken care of, but the testimony of the Third Knights - they also looked familiar to the big man in green light armor on the black ground. My party members make a lot of noise about the Imperial Capital, but I'm the leader of the Third Knights who comes out when there's a big incident.

The Third Knights are knights who, among the armies held by His Majesty the Emperor, have widely enjoyed the policing of the Empire and the city.

.................. always a great help.

As a todays offering, Lucia sits next to me with a grumpy look just in the Clanmaster's room.

When he took his seat, the commander, who had accumulated a splendid mustache, said in a low voice.

"You've already heard about last night's incident, haven't you?

"... can I have one before that"

"What?"

A glimpse of Mr. Gark and Mr. Kaina.

Mr. Gark still has the same tough face today, and it feels like he is painfully offsetting it with Kaina's healing.

I sighed heavily and put my arms together. I feel that there are more opportunities for people to rely on me lately. I hate to say it, but I have to say bish here.

"Why was I called that had nothing to do with the case? I'm not an expert on dragons, and I'm not free. Honestly, I'd be in trouble if they called me..."

"Heh... what, what!?

"I'll tell you what, I can't use the information, can I? If you need anything, you should tell Ark. I'm saying this for you. You can bring it to me if you can't do it in the arc..."

I want peace. [M] I like to see the Arcs hunters work, but I don't like to join them.

Lucia next door is looking at me with Zito's eyes. But I'm simply incompetent, not out of the picture or anything, and then you can't tell me if you can't do it in the arc.

"Oh, you have no intention of contributing to this empire?

The captain is shivering at the words of courage. If they say that, you can't deny it as me, whose roots are small.

"Of course, there is, but if you do, there will be the right material. If you want to repel dragons, you're good at Abyss Fire Extinguishing, and if you want dragon control, you're familiar with Silver Star Lightning. Yeah, Ark's pretty familiar with that compared to me. A dragon master. I think we'll get through the dragon eventually."

Well, I just don't know much about dragons.

Ark remembers well from the Empire, and he's warm, so he'll do well.

No, I mean, what I'm trying to say is stop calling me every time. I mean call for more intellectuals.

"All I'm saying is, I don't want you to call me until you need me at least."

"Klee, stop around there"

"Yes."

In front of my sister, Mr. Gark threatens me with blues and a low voice, dressed to argue. [M]

I put my hands on my knees in a quick motion. I want to go home soon.

The captain takes a loud, deep breath and speaks slowly.

"... has already been repelled for the dragon that struck the Imperial Castle. Yesterday in the castle - you were right, there was Silver Star Lightning."

Hmm. I see. Then we'll figure it out. You're lucky Ark was there.

The captain continues to make a serious face and not think anything beneficial to me.

"The dragon has been aimed straight at the Imperial Castle. Crimson Dragon Adult. I tied up the book, but this is the first time the Empire has moved to this place."

"Well, there's a first time for everything. It's the first time I've been everywhere."

"Klee, don't tear it up!

Even though there's no such thing as tea, Mr. Gark pisses me off. Irrational.

By and large, this is the first major incident that has occurred in Teito since I arrived in Teito. I don't suppose this city is cursed.

"Dragons don't attack people for no reason. We were unanimous in our view that something the dragon was after was inside the castle."

"I see... well, that was a disaster..................... no, wait? If what's in the castle is what you're after, isn't it weird that a dragon attacked you a long time ago?

Some dragons have the nature of storing gold and silver treasures, and when they steal their own treasures, they immediately come back to the end of the mad land.

The phantom beast boasts mighty power and intelligence, but is never generous. There is a verse that thinks that humans are a little non-edible food.

In other words, it is likely that the 'object' was recently brought into the castle.

To my name reasoning, the captain finally slammed the table hard.

"And it's a good idea to cut the shiraz. Come on! In our opinion, it's a dragon egg that you gave to Her Royal Highness!

"............ to?

Open your eyes to unexpected words.

Most dragons are egg-laying, but only lay one egg in a single birth. The more they blush it, the more angry the dragon will come to take it back instantly.

But that souvenir is not a dragon egg. As explained, it is a hot spring egg under the trade name Hot Spring Dragon Egg.

It's one of those things I sold full of, and it's chicken eggs. Frowning.

"But... that, that's just a hot spring egg"

"That's right! Yes, it is! We hurried and examined the gift. That was just a hot spring egg, just kidding! We also have confirmation with the products sold in Sulphur! You know what this means?

Bright red in the face, the commander's nose approaching roughly. I took it a little seriously.

"........................... Crimson Dragon's favorite is a hot spring egg?

"-"

The captain shivers his lips and hikes them up dramatically. So Lucia next door said in a quiet voice without changing one complexion.

"Someone was trying to fall into a leader," he said.

"Huh... right. That's right. And if your gift were a real dragon egg, you would be - surrounded by the Knights by now. Even if the eggs weren't Crimson Dragon stuff, the charges wouldn't have cleared up. There's no way it'll clear up."

Oh, I see. That's the way it's assembled...... don't learn.

Continue with the kind of voice the captain pushes to kill.

"But you dodged it. And that allowed me to narrow down the killer inside. Those of you who know that the gifts you bring are called dragon eggs… are limited. So I came here myself, the head of the Third Knights."

It is a miraculous evasion. Was it a good day to day?

I'm not going to live a real dragon egg.

"I see. But I don't know who did it, do I?

"There are only a few such people who can manipulate dragons artificially. Thousands of Changes, you know -" Fox "?

I want you to quit assuming I know common sense. [M]

But I think a little, and I snort a lot.

"Fox? Oh, of course I know.... I'll make sure, but it's not just an animal fox, is it?

"... oh. Not an animal, not a warcraft."

Again, huh? If it is not an animal or a warcraft, then there is only one answer.

Really, I'm not proud of it, but as one of my unlucky experiences, I've encountered a fox with thirteen tails.

Mana Materials, too accumulated, turned the moving place into a treasure house, an unbelievable phantom fox.

He had intelligence, experience, and power. It is out of standard that we were very unable to fathom at the time.

The encounter was a complete coincidence. It's like you can't even encounter it if you want.

I managed to make it home alive, but that haunted fox will still be wandering somewhere in the world as a phantom treasure house.

The captain says to me, "I miss you so much."

"Difficulties attacking our country yesterday. Some of them are expected to be the result of 'fox' manipulation"

"I see..."

... I see?

That fox had the power of God, but it was not hostile to mankind. I mean, there was a verse that I wasn't interested in at all.

Apart from being possible or impossible, I don't think it interferes very much in people's countries... of, but...

Tilting his inner neck,

"Zebuldia was too big. developed by heavy use of treasure hunters, but some do not often think of it. Perhaps this case is also a work to make the relationship with the hunter worse. Too much poison in the dishes."

"... oh, that's definitely the work of the 'fox'. It's a hell of a thing to fall for me. I even gave you so much fried oil."

"!?........................... Leader, that's a different fox"

"It was also the fox's fault that Luke slashed people. Definitely. Not at all. That nasty fox bastard, you thought you'd do it someday, I..."

Lucia sticks with her elbow, but it's too late.

It's okay, that haunted fox hasn't had any sightings lately, and they're circling the world, so they won't be encountered again. You should forgive me for giving you so much fried oil and grounding.

The captain had a surprise look on his face, but he rang his nose and said whether he had convinced himself that he was good.

"Anyway, as a strong historical Zebuldia, we can't let them look atrophied. Thousands of Changes, my belly, but this is how I summoned you today from the scatter - to make a request. He's already been recognized by the Gark Branch Manager."

"... Huh?

I absolutely don't like it. You even turned down Sir Gladys' nomination request, but what are you going to make him do?

Finally, if you want to add, I've never made fun of you.

No, well, now that we have the Ghost of Mourning in full membership, maybe I should say that it doesn't matter......... this Chivalrous Change, even level 8 that I've gotten through with my head down so far.

Instead of difficult requests that are unlikely to be possible, requests that seem a little difficult have also been channelled through everything. I have trouble thinking I'm going to make a cheap contract.

Should I flush it around the arc? Quickly, before I worked out a plan that seemed like a conspiracy, the Commander of the Third Knights put down the big trunk case he had brought.

Oh, come on, you don't think it's gold? I have trouble getting you underestimated. I'm a man who buys treasure, even if I'm in debt, right?

"As a reward, Your Majesty says I will give you this."

In front of me, who solidified his determination to refuse the request with perseverance, the captain opened the trunk case in large measure.

What lay inside was a slightly dull coloured cloth knitted in green, red and gold.

Not clothes or coats. It is quite thick and not quite luxurious. I accidentally opened my eyes and touched the cloth with a trembling hand. Slippery texture.

Ko, isn't this - a treasure piece famous for its rarity and rarity, which often comes up in miga stories - "Flying Carpet," a flying carpet?

I pulled my cheeks and raised my face, and the captain smiled for the first time since I came here.
