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

"I was wrong."

In the Clanhouse lounge of "The Beginning Footprint (First Step)," Gilberto looked around at members of an extraordinary, organized party.

"White Wolf's Nest" strategy. Surviving a hellish request, a day had already passed.

Gilberto was transported unconscious, so he was later asked, but the debilitated rescue target was also able to safely deliver him to the Imperial City.

It can be said that the request made by the Seekers Association has been fulfilled.

As for the anomaly of the White Wolf's Nest, it became the depository of the exploration and empire. A higher-level hunter will be dispatched soon to investigate the causes.

"I thought I was much stronger. I thought I was stronger. But... not yet."

See the Purgatory Sword erected beside you.

Until now Gilberto has had no enemies. I have defeated all of that on my own, even if I have struggles.

I was proud, and later I thought I could get to the strongest as long as I had time. But I caught a glimpse of it in this exploration. That's too far.

I'm not resenting being half-killed all of a sudden. Because Gilberto doesn't remember anything about that moment.

I wasn't alarmed. Instead, the spirit was strained. Despite that, I don't even remember what they did.

It shows that there was a difference between him and me that was too great.

At first I was alone.

I met a talented strong companion, a phantom that I still couldn't defeat if I didn't join forces, and finally, a monster who could wrap them up and crush them with one hassle.

And of course, the thousands of changes that lead it will go far beyond that.

The awesomeness could not even be understood by Gilberto, who confirmed the actual appearance with his eyes, every move. Perhaps too different standing positions, but therefore.

It was a very short period of events, but those experiences were extra ones that changed Gilberto Bush's mood.

Rewards were the dangerous task with little, but that was all worth it.

Just for a little over a day, Gilberto says, seeing a fellow who had some idea after the battle.

"I still hadn't seen the top at all. Not me right now, but I can't possibly get that far.... to the previous party... apologize and work out again from scratch - I'll start over"

"... yes"

To the words, Tino nodded small without changing his expression.

Hunters grow. After the battle, after the defeat, and knowing much more.

There are few who are half-witted and frustrated. But there was a great frustration in his eyes, and a strong will, knowing despair.

Then there's little I can say to Tino.

Gilberto gets up with a neat look.

I put my baggage on my shoulder, looked at my buddy's face, and finally told Tino.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to thank me for everything. I'm sorry I bothered you so much. After that... well... watch, you'll soon be able to grab as many bullets,"

"I don't think so"

Tino with a flashing look.

Gilberto thrust his finger vigorously at that apparently unbelieving look.

Shout out loud. As if to even declare it.

A member of the footprint in the lounge turned his gaze to Tino's table to see what was going on.

"Don't get me wrong. I didn't give up the best yet! I'm just gonna change the way a little. I'll catch up with you soon. You too, Leader! Bye!

"Ah... Gilberto, forget something -"

Ruda stopped Gilberto trying to get up and leave early enough.

Point to the Purgatory Sword on the table.

It's not a sane shack, such as forgetting a weapon that can also be called the most important life for a treasure hunter.

But Gilberto didn't look back. I open my eyes just a little bit and give my voice back rough.

"I don't want that anymore. It's just a weapon to me now! That's powerful, for sure, but I wouldn't be strong if I relied on treasure tools! I'm gonna be able to grab a bullet with my bare hands, like Shadow Out!

"Yep..."

"So, that's going to change me a thousand times! No... just keep it, I guess. I'll keep it till I'm strong! Look, I'll get it back to you soon!

"Come on, you haven't changed a thing."

Greg's voice like a shudder. But that expression showed that the word was not serious.

Purgatory swords are powerful weapons, except for their power as treasure tools.

As soon as you become a hunter, you get it, and for Gilberto, who has been waving it, the battle without the Purgatory Sword will be hard and arduous.

There's no way he doesn't know that. But with that in mind, the boy threw down his weapon.

I was ready for that. Prepared only to be understood by the person. No one is allowed to tarnish it.

Tino frowned and was a little lost, but decided to speak up on Gilberto's back.

"Gilberto"

"... what? Don't stop me."

"No, I'm not stopping or anything..."

I'm sure Gilberto will be stronger.

Tino doesn't see a human future, but he didn't see it right after the party, but somehow he's the hunter the master of the divine conspiracy called into the party.

And Tino took a deep breath once, dropped his shoulder and said.

Pray that its future is glorious.

"Your sister's mask is specially made with no holes in the eye area... even when you take the bullet, you shouldn't be seeing it all the time... if you're going for it, you should... keep that in mind too, maybe..."

"... Huh?

§ § §

It was a day of mental and physical exhaustion.

"Safe Ring" is only a defense for times of need. The fact that it shreds by more than half indicates that my life was in danger.

"Good luck, Mr. Klee. Explorer, you seem to be making a fuss."

"Mmm."

I try to keep my entire body in the office chair and listen to Eva as I loosen up.

The anomalies that occurred in the White Wolf's Nest were of a scale that rarely occurred.

This time they had managed to survive all of them, but it was originally an anomaly of the kind known for the first time after the death of many hunters.

It's nothing but luck that the dead didn't come out.

Without Liz, who ran home leaving everyone at an unlikely rate of shit, ten hunters, including me, would have been wiped out.

Watch Liz sleep with her knees on a larger couch.

I guess I was still getting fatigued, I should have been able to tell you that the way I'm sleeping without shrinking and wandering around would be adorable if I wasn't even wearing a creepy mask.

I was the one who designed the mask. I forgot to empty my eyes, but it's not my fault that Liz and the others keep using them.

I can't really see anything when I put it on, but it's moving flat.

The rate of growth of Liz and the others has shown no signs of decay at all since they first came to the Imperial City.

Maybe it's a bad idea that I stopped going to the treasure house, but the difference between him and me is no longer a hundred times or two.

I don't really feel it because I'm usually flustered at the top of the cranhouse, but I haven't actually been to the treasure house in a long time and I clearly figured that out by tapping the irritation into my peacefully bogged head.

Will Liz fulfill and realize?

That I look like a hero. [M]

To be honest, there is also the fact that there is so much room for improvement, but still manages to live in human society.

I sighed loudly once and said ready.

"I, Hunter, will stop."

Eva says it again, looking at me like that.

They don't believe me because I say it all the time.

But I mean it this time.

"This time, I found out by putting the Tinos in danger. I can't be on the front line anymore. [M] I have a blank, and it didn't do me any good."

"Mr. Tino said the master was a god or something."

"Even though I didn't mean to offend you, I did something bad to Tino this time. I don't think quitting leads to taking responsibility, but I'm already punished. Hahaha...... I guess I'm old now"

"You must be the top young man."

"If I were any more hunters, I'd feel like making an irrevocable mistake this time. That's what I'm afraid of. There's a little bit of money, you should be able to go back to the country and hide."

I don't need a lot of money. You don't have to be extravagant. I wish I had enough money to live discreetly that I was at my height.

It's a clear rain reading, a clear rain reading. All right, a world where lives aren't in danger.

I can't deal with phantoms anymore. I'm shaking a little just remembering. I don't want to do human missiles again either.

Gilberto Boy, Master Greg, even people who feel that little thing have the power to do it.

There is no more curtain for me.

Times have changed.

The golden age of hunters. It's just a little too dazzling for me.

Eva lifted her glasses and said with her eyes to me, speaking with a sense of reality. [M]

"I'll tell you what, I don't think Mr. Klee will ever be able to live in peace again. I need to change my face."

"I don't like it."

I should at least break the person Liz converts (Reverse Face)......

"But I think we just have to go so far that there's nothing anyone knows. My face is plain, and if it were, I'd be dead."

"eheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh

Soon Liz, who was turning behind me, hugged me from behind the chair.

The chair shakes tightly at the weight for both of us. Check on the couch, but there's only a mask left.

That one? You slept well, didn't you, until just now? A ghost or something?

"No, no, you still have a dream for Liz, don't you?

Or the mourning ghost, it's everyone's goal.

Level 10. The apex of Treasure Hunter.

To get there, we became hunters.

I gave up early, but most hunters couldn't handle it, and Liz's talent could make it.

Liz's certification level is still 6, but that's because she's transferring some of her performance points to me, the leader, and would have been at least level 7 without me.

Liz smiles and sticks her cheeks together perfectly.

Its temperature is much higher than mine. [M] The energy-filled hunter's body temperature is much higher than that of an ordinary person.

And the fever showed a huge difference between me and Liz.

"Yeah, but if Klee's gonna stop, let's go. It's boring to be alone, and I'm already the strongest anyway?

The voice is bright and sweet, but I knew it wasn't something I could give up if that dream was something I could give up for such an easy reason.

Hunters are talent. But that talent shines for the first time with effort.

The efforts Liz and the others have made so far have made the training grounds more demanding than any hunter of their age.

But I don't see a lie in that word.

If I stop, at least Liz won't hesitate to follow me and choose the path to retirement.

Do you want to stop? Do you want to stop? Won't you stop? I probably won't... I don't feel like it. I can't?

"Liz, you're gonna break up the party when you're gone."

"It's okay. We'll all stop then."

Liz says something that's obvious and incredible. I didn't think so and shook my shoulder.

I don't have any fences, but Liz and the others aren't.

Its strength is known even in the Empire, its influence is quite broad and strong.

Some are officially part of the national institutions, while others have received offers from some nobles and the military to hold them.

Absolutely a chaser can be turned over. It is also likely that a high level of hunter will be provided.

And if they found out the reason was me, they'd buy a damn strong grudge. There's a good chance they'll kill you.

'None' without even thinking about it.

In the first place, you can't let Liz and her efforts go away because of me. [M]

I thought about whether there was a good way for me for a while, but I couldn't think of anything with my pathetic head in a peaceful mess.

"... try harder."

"Yeah. Hang in there! I'll do my best!

Liz puts her cheeks on perfectly and gives her a distracted voice as she hangs out her legs.

That's right. You don't have to go to the treasure house. Gurk bastard, you're pushing me for a weird favor.

I'm never gonna take a favor when Ark's gone again.

I turned away from reality and carved it into my heart. [M]
