Chapter 85 Useless Human
Part 1
I am a real useless human. I am always failing when it matters.
For example, when I created my Party. Because of the name I picked, “Strange Grief” was mistaken as a “Red (Criminal) Party”, so we were constantly targeted by criminal organization inside the Imperial Capital or by Parties of Hunters even though we are also Hunters.
Another example was when I created the Clan and wanted to go view cherry tree blossoming. For some reason, there was a shift in the tectonic plates under us and a High-Level Shrine appeared.
And if it is something recent, then we have that time when I sent Tino to the 【White Wolves Den】 and something unexpectedly happened, so most of my decisions almost never goes well.
Initially, I have never been very lucky but especially after I became a Hunter my luck has made a remarkable sky dive.
I was able to overcome everything by bluffing through, doing dogeza and also because of everyone’s follow-ups. However, that doesn’t mean that I am okay with every bad thing that will happen or that I am used to it.
A few days have passed since that terrible auction, I couldn’t regain my liveliness, so I am relaxing and laying back on the sofa in the Clan Master room, I was trying to sleep.
Originally, it isn’t like I am particularly active but the after-effect of all the hard work going up in smoke was too strong.
When Eva told me that the 『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』 lot was won by éclair-jou, I made it looks like I was fine but as time went by, I became more and more depressed.
It isn’t like I am regretting winning the lot that Sytry wanted.
Moreover, most of the money initially come from Sytry and it is still true when at that time I thought that it would be better if I don’t get that Relic than making her cry. And also I am used to Lucia being angry at me.
But this and that is a different story... I need some time to swallow that.
I don’t feel like doing anything. I don’t feel like going outside or going outside to eat some sweets.
Everyone knows that I was aiming for that mask. And of course, they should also know that I turned tail and ran away without even participating in the auction.
Surely now, they are all curious and want to see how a first-class Clan Master is going to seriously handle that problem. Seeing me is the only thing that must be avoided.
One of the reasons, Hunters are prohibited to go in starting from the fourth floor of the Clan House, is to keep Hunters from seeing me as I regularly lose my vigor.
I twist my body and roll around on the sofa when I accidentally fall on the floor.
Eva looks like she is in trouble.
My dependable Vice-Master who didn’t sight one bit even after hearing me that I had used over one billion Gils or even when I told her that I couldn’t get the mask due to an unexpected expense.
She is so broad-minded that makes me want to try to know how much I can do before she can’t forgive me.
“...... If you are fine with me, I can hear you out if you have any worry?”
I have way too many worries, if I can get one Gils for each of my worries, I can easily repay my debt.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
“It is too late. It is already the turning point. Don’t have the caliber for it. Every single time, life doesn’t go as I have expected it. I want to retire.”
“Huh!?”
When I was ranting, Eva opens her eyes wide and takes a step back.
At last, it seems that I have attained the level of useless human that can even pull back my kind Vice-Master.
That is right. I am a useless human. It is no use anymore. I want to quietly live in the seabed like some shellfish. And surely, I will be attacked and then eaten by an octopus or something without being able to counter-attack.
“...... E, even after all this, it still isn’t going as you wanted?”
“If I have to rate it in a scale of one hundred point, I will say it is about fifteen point. I didn’t even get the mask.”
“Fifteen points!?”
It looks like Eva is in disarray when she hears my lifeless, random answer. I am really sorry for all the troubles I caused you every single time.
I would like to thank you someday, but I am sure that it will just backfires to me.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
No Cry, Eva isn’t shocked because you attained a new level of uselessness but because she thought that you created all those rumor about the mask and even involve a noble just to gather enough money to obtain the Golem and all that planning is only rated as 15%.
And it was so funny when Eva couldn’t answer back when Cry said that doing nothing was the usual XD
