Chapter 91.2

Chapter 91.2 \n<h1>Chapter 91 Strange Grief Want to Retire ③</h1>\n\nHis fighting abilities are extraordinary even among all Hunters. When it comes to how strong he is, then it is so extraordinary that none of the monster in “Strange Grief” can win on a one-on-one duel against him.You might wonder if this is all he can do for the one called strongest but the Shrine we capture in our Party are Higher Level than theirs, even though there should be a difference in the Mana Material absorbed, he is still stronger than us, so it can’t only be possible with extraordinary talent.

And this kind of Ark becomes all tattered. If a monster strong enough to make Ark fight with all his might and still come back tattered, appears in the Imperial Capital, it would have been a big incident, but there was nothing about it. So, the next thing I can only think is that a monster that Ark can’t fight at full strength has appeared.

So, there is only one possibility.

I can’t believe how Ark who is always so cheerful, speaks in such a bad mood tone.

“……… What are you doing, suddenly, lowering your head?”

“Ojou-sama threw a tantrum, right?”

“…… Tan, tantrum, you say?”

Bingo.I am sure Ark couldn’t respond like an adult when the Ojou-sama presented him the mask on her high horse.There is no mistake, he must have said that he doesn’t need it or that Cry would be happy about it.

And when she heard this, the Ojou-sama started to sulk, exploded and threw a tantrum. The reason why Ark is tattered is probably because he had a hard time restraining the violent Ojou-sama.There is no mistake, even the strongest Ark can’t raise his hand on the small monster.

I raise my head and push away the trembling Ark.

“Don’t get me wrong, Ark. I thought that it would have gone smoothly if it was you, Ark! I would have never expected that you would need to do so much hard work. Maybe I didn’t speak enough.”

There are remorse and frustration inside of me.It was my fault that I couldn’t predict that. I should have told him to not offend the Ojou-sama.

However, if you think it calmly, it would be normal to think that Ark can dealt with this problem without any trouble.It is certain that I have some fault as I am the one who made the request, but I can’t say that Ark was faultless.

“But you know, Ark. Don’t you think it was needless to say to not piss off the Ojou-sama?”

“That is…”

“In the first place, didn’t you have an excellent Mage in your Party. If the Ojou-sama started to rampage, you could have use 『Hypnos Cage (Sleeping Shackles) 』or whatever it was necessary. I would have order Lucia to do that.”\n

It seems that Ark main magic is attack magic and body strengthening magic but, in his party, there is also an excellent Mage who has mastered a wide variety of magic.Isabella Melnes with her light purple hair peculiar from the northern people, raises her eyebrow when she hears me.

“Haaaa!? Are you saying, my technique is inferior to Lucia’s!? I used it! I used it and it didn’t work!”

“Eh… Ah, it was like this… Somehow, I am sorry.”

“Don’t apologize!”

“No… You see, it is fine. Everyone has some areas where they aren’t good at. Like me, I am not good in everything. However, it is better to learn how to use abnormal condition type magic because it can be useful in case of an emergency. If you want, I will talk to Lucia…”

“Don’t, don’t try to comfort me!”

Isabella cheeks become red and she stomps on the ground.

To think that she couldn’t make an ordinary Ojou-sama who isn’t a Hunter or anything, to sleep… I thought she was an excellent Mage, but I wonder if it wasn’t the case.

" "

I take a deep sigh and reach out for the decoration in the Clan Master room. Eva is standing while looking uneasy and asking herself what she should do.

“For the time being, I was waiting because I thought you would be coming back soon. We have cakes and I also prepared some champagne.”

Seeing the twinkling decoration on the ceiling, the priestess Yu says amazed.

“So, so many decoration…”

“I decorate it with my own hand. In the middle of it, it got really fun… There are even candles too.”

“………”

“It is my bad. I wouldn’t have thought that it will takes so long… I thought that Ark could have done it in a smarter way.”

I didn’t overestimated Ark. He managed to be so popular and unlike me, he is as good as his reputation says.Why would I think that he will struggle against one single Ojou-sama.Ark keep being expressionless and didn’t say anything for a while but he finally breathe deeply.

\n 

“… Cry, you are… Using too few words. I don’t know everything.”

“It was my bad.”

“I heard that Éclair-sama did something rude to you. You also warned her that it was a dangerous Relic. But still… if it was you Cry, you should have been able to do it in a better way.”

“It was my bad.”

“It is okay to involve me, but it isn’t good to involve unrelated citizen. Wasn’t it you the Clan Master who decided to implement the rule to not bother ordinary citizen?”

I didn’t say enough. I could have done it better. This is exactly true.I didn’t mean anything bad, but it isn’t because I didn’t mean anything bad that the story is fine.

I reflect on it higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea1.

“There is no way that I would think it would become something so important. What you said Ark, is absolutely true, so from now on I will try to only involve Ark as much as possible.”

“You didn’t reflect at all.”

Isabella stretch my cheek and looks at me.

It is a fact that I regret it. No, it can be said that everything is wrapped up.

But more than that, I am relieved that Ark didn’t think about leaving the Clan.

Ark is one of the few fighting friends my childhood friends have. I didn’t mean it like they are always fighting each other but that they are still friends even after a fight. Their violent impulse will explode if they aren’t release regularly, so Ark is their best partner.

“So… That… After all, did you get your hand on it?”

It isn’t really the timing to ask this, but I can’t not confirm it.

To my question, Ark throws out a leather bag that he had in a bad mood.

“I struggled. I really struggled. It was hard to hold down Éclair-sama who was rampaging while holding her sword. The speed of her attack was on another level, it was exerting her power to the very limit of her physical strength. I managed to pull them apart, but what exactly is that? She didn’t try to wear it by herself, but it seems to have jumped at her…”

In the middle of it I couldn’t hear what Ark was saying.I feels like I got a present for my birthday. I unravel the string on the bag in trance and stick my hand inside. Ark and the others open their eyes as if they were startled.
