Chapter 59.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunterâs Hero Dream Chapter 59.1 \nA wooden doll with no eyes, no nose and no mouth come out while holding a large wooden box. It is a Wood Golem⌠A wooden golem that Sytry often uses for her work. Alchemist often use Golem and other magical creature to supplement for their low physical strength.\n
From inside the sturdy wooden box, you can hear the rattling sound of bottle hitting against each other.
The Lounge was wrapped in a strange atmosphere. There was a dangerous atmosphere settling down. But nobody canât escape because Sytry is blocking the entrance.
It was only supposed to be charging my Relics, but what is this atmosphere? I also feel a little bit the need to run away.
Tino, the victim number one, who was still feeling uncomfortable approaches me as if clinging on to me.
âMaster⌠I have always been wondering⌠Is Sytry Onee-sama, well⌠Lesbian?â
Her shoulders were trembling and tear floating around her eyes. Well, if she was only touching you a little bit, it will be okay. But after being touched like that, it is normal to feel fear.
To think the day will come where I would need to confirm my childhood friend sexual orientation. What kind of karma did I have in my previous life to have to do that?
âNo, I donât think she is⌠Probably.â
ââŚâ
âIt is fine. Fine. Maybe.â
ââŚâ\n
When I saw the smile on Sytryâs face when she was touching Tino, it is difficult for me to be sure but⌠Her interest in Tino is probably purely academical. I wonder if it is fine on its own way. Tinoâs expression didnât change when she heard my answer. She just bites her lips and hug my arm. I donât mind you relying on me but, when the reason is one of my childhood friends, I am really sorry about that.
While patting her head to calm down, Sytry talks to the members in the Lounge with cheerful movements. They were all assemble in one place. Apparently, even if she rarely goes to the Lounge, she remembers the Clan membersâ faces and names. I am sure her head is different than mine.
In front of the confused members who are gathered here, Sytry-chan clap her hand once and say with a smile which can even attract woman.
Before I knew it, there was eight stone Golem lining up behind me. Stone Golem⌠Compare to the wooden one, those Golems are known for having a higher fighting power. Even if I say that, they are not an opponent when facing against âFootprintâ Hunters.
âTo everyone who is in the Lounge today⌠You are very lucky. Cry-san will give everyone here⌠A very efficient training, is what I am saying.â
âNo, no, no, I never said something so bossy!?â
What are you saying all of sudden? I inadvertently tsukkomied1 Â to those sudden words.
Training⌠What are you talking about? I just came here to ask them to charge my Relics. I am in a position where I need to bow my head. The Clan Master has no power to force something on someone.
âLetâs leave Cry-san words asideâŚâ
To the good news which is no one is raising a complaint to me. Sytry raises her index finger, hunch down as if she was telling a secret and continue.
When she looks at everyone with her quiet and shining eyes. One of the members who was listening to the story swallowed his saliva.\nâWhat is amazing you say? This training is different from the usual Trials⌠Who would have thoughâŚ? There is no danger of dying!â
âWhat did⌠you say!?â
To those words, everyone who was in a low tension became noisy. Even Tino who was clinging to me, open her eyes and surprisingly looks at Sytry.
I was the only one who couldnât keep up with the situation. It is good that everyone is getting along.
â⌠Well, I want you to stop tying Trial on everything.â
âIt is okay even if you are on vacation, no preparation is required. It takes little time⌠And the effect is visibly obvious! If you take this, everyone can become a Mage on the level of Lucia-chan! To tell you the truth, this is a secret training method that is only done inside our party, but this time we will exclusively⌠Reveal it to everyone.â
To those words, everyoneâs expression is half-doubting it.
Lucia Roge is one of the most recognized Mage in the Imperial Capital. ăStarlight (The Starâs Holy Thunder)ă, the party of ăNoble (Spirits People) ă who look down on human, is in ăFirst Step (Footprint of the Beginning) ăbecause Lucia is in it.
It can only be heard as a joke that anyone could become a Mage like her. I can only hear it as a joke. Or rather, I have no recollection of such a training method.
If there is such a training method, it wouldnât be strange if it was more widespread.
With satisfaction, Sytry nods at everyoneâs expression.\n\nThe female Mage from the party next table snorts and says with a exasperate voice. There are many voices of consent from the others around.
âPlease rest assured, the depleted magic power will be restored immediately. I will bear the cost of the âMana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)â. ⌠By the way⌠It isnât⌠It isnât like, I am taking you for an idiot⌠But is there anyone who is bad with âMana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)â and canât drink it?â
To that voice which sound terrified, all the Mages look at each other. They look dissatisfied. Being able to drink Magic Recovery Medicine is a proof of being a first-class Mage. All people gathered here are confident of their own ability as a Hunter. If you suspect this, it is normal if you get a complaint.
âDonât take us for an idiot. Even if we are not to your level, we are still active Mage. We have already drunk âMana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)â. We arenât going to hesitate, now.â
âI am sorry. In that case⌠I think there is no particular problem.â
Sytry bow a little and apologized, she once again looks at the face of the one gathered here. She opens her lips with a serious expression.
âThen this is the final confirmation. This is⌠a secret training method. If you decline now, you will probably never get it again. But it is certainly not something to do on your vacation. We wonât force you but, once you receive it, you will be with us until the end. Is there anyone who doesnât want to receive this training?â
It is a bit late but Sytry is relatively shrewd.
Compare to Liz, she looks more mature and she is easily mistaken but she isnât harmless to human. She always acts with precaution. Although she isnât telling a lie, she has a habit of playing with her words, among all my childhood friend, her words are the one you need to be the most careful about. I donât want to remember it too much but because I let it pass once, Liz and Sytry had a sibling fight and had almost killed each other.
For example, Sytry said you wouldnât die but she didnât say that it would be so painful, you would want to die. And it is often those important informations, that she doesnât say.
Thank you for reading! The Title is âHiddenâ like in log horizon noice. Sytry what a fearful girl, osoroshi ko. XD What can be the training Cry created for Lucia will it be an easy one probably not. Run mages from Footprint! Tchao Ă plus!
1. Tsukkomi: The act of pointing out that something is ridiculous or silly. Usually this is something another person (known as the âbokeâ) says or does. From urbandictionary.
2. Price: He is not talking about monetary price but more like a compensation just like when you make a deal with the devil.
