Chapter 103 Vacation Begins

Part 2

Sytry opened her eyes widely. Just before I opened my lips and started to say something when White and Black hit Gray.

It was a clean hit without any hesitation. There was a terrible sound as if he was hit with a blunt instrument. The most slender of the three, Gray, bounced off the road and rolled all over to the next street.

An angry roar flies in front of me when I was frozen by the sudden violence. The cadaverous Gray who was sent flying by White and Black was mercilessly kicked by them.

“This! Shit! Didn’t you promised that you would be quiet! For the time being! Die!”

“Apologize! Sytry………… -san, apologize to her! You are more useless than a piece of sh*t! Keeping your useless pride! Aaah!”

His skull was slammed on the side of the road and blood started to spatter. However, Sytry hasn’t changed her complexion at all.

Eva was pale. I felt like I was having a nightmare.

Sytry put her hand on her cheek and said with a troubled look in front of me who wasn’t able to stop it and didn’t know what to do.

“Indeed, I certainly thought that you would have kept at least one but to think that all three of them…”

“Just… Just kidding. It was just a joke.“

Aaah, it was just a joke. It is fine, it is fine to come with me. I just have to put up with it. I should just put up with it.

Sytry stroked her chest in relief and looked at Gray who was unilaterally hit.

“Eh……? What, it was just a joke. What a relief………… Actually, I was in the middle of their training. I will prove it to you as much as possible, so please excuse me if it is a little noisy.”

“Un, un, you are right……”

Was it really going to be okay?

When I looked at Sytry splitting them, I was terribly doubting it, but I forcibly shook my head to forget about it.

Even if I worry about it, there is nothing that I can do about it.

“Don’t apologize to me, if you want to apologize, then apologize to Cry-san! With your current attitude, it is better if you aren’t here!”

The sun had already set, but there were still some people around me. Right now, we still weren’t surrounded yet but if it continued like this then the Knight Order may come.

While listening to Sytry’s sharp reprimand from behind her, Eva makes a dry laugh.

“………… It is a fun, fun vacation, you know.”

“………… Ha, haaa. ………… Please have a good time.”

As expected, even Eva won’t be coming with me.

I want to stay at home forever.

When my heart was being broken, a noisy voice entered my ears.

“Nooo! Please forgive me, Onee-sama! I can’t, possibly, show my face, to Master!”

“Enough! I am telling you to come! No matter how long you are depressed ――Ti is a small fry! Cry-chan knows it already! I am telling you that it is fine, ok!?”

I see Liz walking while dragging a screaming Tino, I silently walk into the carriage and hold my knees as if I saw nothing.

I want to go back……

§　§　§

I have to rectify the situation one way or another. The position of 《Fallen Mist (Thunder Dragon’s Mist)》 in Zebrudia is declining day by day.

Originally that would be impossible. A Level 7 Dragon Slayer. Deed that may allow you to be called 『Hero』.

In fact, Arnold and his companions reigned over as the best Hunters in Nebranubes, their hometown.

All their failures were due to the high number of high Level Hunters in the Imperial Capital.

Originally, I had expected their Hunters’ Level to be high, but to think that it was that high ―― I thought I could be counted as one of the strongest Hunters in the Imperial Capital.

High-Level Hunters who possess powerful fighting abilities and can bring back a lot of wealth from Shrines were something that any nation wanted to reach out for. Even nobles desired them, that was what a Level 7 is.

However, Arnold and his companions’ position were now in a delicate situation.

Since they came into this country, they had a quarrel with 《Strange Grief》 and right after that, they had a confrontation with 《Hidden Curse (Magic Wands)》. And that had been seen by many Hunters and citizens.

No one wants to have Hunters who are only causing troubles. If there was a limited number of High-Level Hunters then it wouldn’t matter but this country has many Hunters above Arnold’s Level.

However the most important, was that Arnold wasn’t able to show off his power at all.

For Hunters, 『Strength』 is the most important factor. A Hunter who is powerless is considered more worthless than a Hunter who caused only troubles.

The situation was bad. There was a difference in strength. Those are not an excuse.

In order to completely change their current situation, it was necessary to get achievement to make people think that 『After all,《Fallen Mist》 has the ability equivalent to Level 7』. Moreover, it was necessary to get achievement to prove to them that their abilities weren’t something from the past but that they still have it even now.

As it is now, not only the evaluation of the Explorer Association and the Higher-Level Hunters will look down on them but so will the Lower-Level Hunter and the general citizen. There are limits to silencing people with physical means.

The quickest way to solve this, is to burst the bubble of 《Strange Grief》, the origin of the downfall of 《Fallen Mist》.

《Fallen Mist》 and? 《Strange Grief》. The difference in strength between our Party was clear. Even if you take the average Levels of their Members, Arnold and his companions are way inferior to Strange Grief.

However, it is fine. We don’t have to win. All we have to do is to challenge them to a battle and show off our bravery.

That alone will prove that 《Fallen Mist》 aren’t cowards. The fact that we have a clear difference in strength works in our favor.

And that, Arnold has the confidence to do it. Even if there was a difference of strength in our Party, if it is only Arnold’s abilities then I am confident that I won’t lose to the Members of 《Strange Grief》.

I will defeat not one but even two of them. Furthermore, if the opponent was Infinite Variety then I would have nothing more to say.

I will make the name of 《Fallen Mist》 and 《Heavy Thunder Strike》 roar in the whole Imperial Capital.

The inn training facility. As if to dismiss the humiliation he received during this afternoon, Arnold was swinging his beloved sword intensely when one of Arnold’s companions rushed to him.

“Arnold-san, it is serious! I caught my ear in a conversation between people from 《Footprint》 ―― It seems that 《Infinite Variety》 is leaving the Imperial Capital today. Moreover, on a vacation, it is unclear when they will come back.”

After all that had happened in the afternoon, vacation you say!?

Blood rushed into my head for a moment but I gave a brief exhalation and gave a short order.

“………… We are pursuing them. Get ready.”

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Aaaah cutting just when Tino and Liz show up! Such a tease you are Tsukikage-sensei.

And Arnold did you seriously think that you can take on Cry’s party members? Keep dreaming!

Tchao à plus!
