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

A tight bald head stared down at this one with swordswallowing eyes. Even with the presence of neighboring healing Kaina, the atmosphere is not neutral.

Whether you know that that's the face for treasure hunters to not lick you, and that you're not going to stare if you try that look on Mr. Gark, as a cowardly me, the roots will atrophy when I sit in front of them.

I was abducted by the Seekers Association for the first time. [M]

I don't care what you think of Mr. Gark coming all the way to Cranhouse to get me, who's supposed to be extremely busy as the head of the Imperial Branch. And I'm in the mood to say a word to Eva, who's going to flatten out the branch manager, who's a natural enemy to me.

Sitting in the visiting reception room for a few minutes, you will receive a vision that could kill the phantom.

Mr. Gark said in a generally low tone of intimidation when he opened his mouth.

"Klee, you messed with Count Gladys' house, didn't you?

"No... I didn't wake you up"

"Branch chief, then it sounds like you called me to reprimand you, Klee."

I didn't wake you up, but I was getting ready for the dugout, and I hear Kaina's hobby.

Apparently, the requirement was not a novel. I was too used to being scolded, and Mr. Gark was too used to scolding me.

Mr. Gark coughed up small when he gave him a slightly bumpy look.

"That's not what I'm going to do. A thank you note is coming from Gladys. You and Ark."

I don't know why a thank you note is coming to me, but if a thank you note is coming to me and Ark, they should catch Ark, not me.

Unfortunately, we're busy here. It's not a lie, it's true.

Phantom generation is really deep. I just have to get home and resume my practice of creating a miniature empire -.

"And in addition to the thank-you note, I'm getting a nomination request from you. Count Gladys, the hunter hater. It sounds like a bad case there, but the reward is good enough, I guess I intend to thank you and give it a try. Take it."

A nomination request is a request sent in the name of a specific hunter or party with the hunter's personal name inscribed on the order terms.

The request for nomination is a testament to the increased visibility of the hunter, as well as a testament to his trusted and recognized strength.

The trend in the content of the request is that it is difficult, but the rewards are often even higher, and depending on the client's character, further glory is promised, it is a good value job.

I also celebrated the first time a request for nomination came along (I didn't take the request myself, by the way).

Formal request through the Seekers Association. If they are also aristocrats, they have to be handled with caution. I confirmed the most important thing with a serious look. [M]

"Can anyone take that?

"Are you boiling your head?

It is the request of a nobleman who hates hunters. As for exploration, it would be a great opportunity to show Sir Gladys the usefulness of the hunter, but I definitely don't want to take it.

You don't have to ask me what's inside. I know that's out of my tolerance, and it's nothing but troublesome for a retired hunter who wants to be a nobleman.

I use my usual hands pretending to worry seriously. [M]

"There's only two of us at our party right now... it's not like I don't want to get a job or anything, but I think we should leave it to Ark"

Mr. Gark sighed deeply at the words he put out as he peered into his complexion. Behind you, Kaina is laughing bitterly.

Mr. Gark said in a calm voice that went against my expectations.

"............... you should take it. Klee, you didn't take any requests this semester, did you?

"Oh... Norma. Is it that time of year?"

"That's not funny, is it?

Norms exist for hunters belonging to the Explorers' Association to fulfil according to their level of certification. It can be a treasure palace search, a powerful phantom/demon crusade, or an accomplishment of a request brought in from the outside, but if you fail to meet it for a certain period of time in a row, you will be branded Hunter Disqualification and subjected to a heavy disposition called removal from the Explorers Association.

Most importantly, those norms are measures to prevent "name hunters" who only register names and do not operate, and removal from exploration cooperatives is rarely the case.

Norma is an amount that you don't normally need to be aware of if you are acting as a hunter. Many hunters forget its very existence because if there are reasons such as being heavily injured and unable to operate, it will also alleviate, and if you achieve the next period even if you fail to meet the norm once, it will be fine.

But the system was a gateway to me that I don't usually take requests from.

The activity of the members of Beginning Footprints and Mourning Ghost keeps accumulating my merit points as a leader semi-automatically, but that's not enough to achieve the norm.

I don't remember my norm, but basically, the norm has a longer request quality and deadline to achieve it in proportion to the level.

I frown, but I couldn't remember my norm no matter how much I thought. Right... maybe you don't remember it in the first place.

"... What period is this?

"It's the third period, you idiot! Klee, you're getting expelled!?

Period classification is one period in six months, so in the third period, I did nothing for about a year and a half.

If you ask me that, I remember them complaining the same way six months ago and last year.

Kaina smiles like she's in trouble.

"Klee, I know that you didn't do anything, but the other hunters are the only ones who got a superficial request..."

"You don't have to apologize, Kaina. That's on Klee's own when he says he wants to add members."

'Cause I didn't do anything.

For example, it was Tino and the others who did the bone pickup in The White Wolf's Nest, and it was Sven and the others who investigated the anomaly. How can I say it's my own merit when I've barely had a hard time just throwing in a request?

Not to mention, most Hunter's requests have a quantitative reward. If I participate, the rewards of the other hunters will be reduced for that. Then, even if I rot, I am certified level 8, so the rewards and points of merit that can be allocated will be huge, and the other hunters will lose only that amount.

If the rewards of the other hunters aren't diminishing, adding my name isn't a rush, but it just doesn't bother me.

This Klee Andrich, I'm gonna throw you a favor. I'm gonna owe you, I'm gonna leave Eva with all the operations. I'm aware that you're not a lot of people, but I don't remember being so thick and shameless.

"It would be unprecedented if level 8 were to be removed because the norm had not been achieved. This is a good opportunity, isn't it? You don't have to call me. You won't be here forever."

Is it VIP treatment that the Branch Manager comes to call himself?

...... I'm so sorry to bother you all the time.

But still, I was completely unmotivated.

In the first place, it is not stingy for me to be removed as an emotion of my own, and I would prefer a slightly simpler request, rather than a request for a nomination, even if I were asked to do so.

In addition to that - there is also the sweet idea that Mr. Gark may manage to mislead us even if we fail to achieve the norm. Right... you're a bad person.

Somebody make a request like creating an imperial miniature with illusion.

"Um, I'm actually a little stuck right now..."

"Klee, you always stick around..."

"Hmm? Now what are you doing with your hands?

Mr. Gark pulled his cheeks and distorted his lips, grinning as if intimidating.

This grin... my lies are completely uncovered.

Check the calendar of the wall properly. There were still about three months left in the quarter.

Anyway, in the unlikely event that you decide to take the request, you will not be allowed to fail the request from the nobility. I can't do this alone. We have to get respite at all costs until Luke and the others get back.

Because of this I felt like fun with my new treasure, but I had a headache problem.

I was served in front of my eyes and drank the tea I hadn't put my hands on in one breath, clearly clouding the tea.

"Ma, there's still a period of time, and I have plans. I'll consider it positively while adjusting."

"If you don't come in forever, I'll call you back. Oh, yeah, I'll give you the requisition I left with the Gladys once."

"I don't need it now. I'll come get it when I'm ready."

I have a reliable ally. [M] Pride isn't what happened, either, but if you have to, you can just sit down at the arc and get a joint request.

There is also a loophole in the system of the Explorers' Association. Norma doesn't care. The only question is how to receive the thankful nomination request from Sir Gladys.

I'm tired of not doing anything. Let's go back to your room and play with the 'Dancing Light Shadow' and think carefully about any good ideas.
