Chapter146,Part1: 1 - End of the Vacation
Chapter 146 End of Vacation?
Part 1
At the Ryokan’s room. I was *gorogoro* rolling around on the tatami mats.
While feeling the cool sensation and the unique scent of the tatami mat, I became a creature that could only breathe. The other day, I had been *gorogoro* rolling around in the Clan Master room where tatami mats were strictly forbidden to be installed, but unlike that time, I can now roll around without worry.
At this very moment, I was completely one with the world.
Unfortunately, Liz and Sytry were out, so I am the only one in the room. Liz went to the mountains to look for Onsen Dragons, and Sytry cheerfully went to deploy her Golems in the morning. Both Liz and Sytry really can’t sit still.
It was a cloudless blue sky outside, and I was tempted to go out because I was at a tourist spot, but I couldn’t do that now that I had angered Arnold.
The creature called Treasure Hunter is a violent creature. And as I am unlucky, at times like this, if I go out, something terrible would usually happen to me.
Whether I have a bad feeling or not, something terrible will happen to me. I felt like crying right now.
I wonder when Arnold will be gone. I will ask Liz to go check on it when she comes back.
I succeeded in pushing the bill to Arnold, but that man has ruined my vacation. I wonder what kind of grudge he has against me?
I am confident that I am the most harmless Hunters of all the Hunters living in the Imperial Capital.
There was a discreet knock at the door when I stretched out my body and fully felt the gravitational force of the earth. Before I could reply, Tino walked in.
Since I often stay in the open-air bath for a long time, I handed her a duplicate key.
Tino’s eyes opened widely when she looked at her pathetic Master lying on the tatami mats.
“Excuse me, I am coming in Master............ What are you doing?” (Tino)
“I am training. I am feeling the earth.” (Cry)
“The... The earth......?” (Tino)
“It is a kind of spiritual training. I don’t have anything to do anymore, so I am feeling the world. ............ Luke was able to break an iron sword with a wooden sword through this training I devised, you know.” (Cry)
“Luke Onii-sama has!?” (Tino)
“No...... No way ―― Master’s training is ――” (Tino)
Isn’t she a good girl? Luke is the only one who can train by just lying down.
Until recently, Tino had dark circles under her eyes due to a lack of sleep, but thanks to the Onsen, she has recovered and her complexion was now good. There were various things happening like the Onsen dragon among other things, but it seems that a vacation here was a good cure for Tino.
Now, how can I persuade this earnest kouhai of mine...... When I thought about it for a moment, I said to my cute kouhai whose face was red up to her ears.
“It isn’t a training where you can do it only by lying down, you know. You can also do it when standing up. ...... Right...... Even if we can’t go outside right now ―― Let’s do that training! Training to drink tea and eat snacks.” (Cry)
“Eh......? Drink tea and eat snacks ―― Is-is there such training!? ............ W-well, Master. I am not doubting Master’s words, but what would I gain with that training?” (Tino)
There was no way you could gain anything out of it. What you could gain by drinking tea and eating snacks for a long time is to become something like me. In truth, I just want to drink tea while eating snacks.
However, I am very worried that she will be fooled by a bad guy one day. I don’t feel anything because she is something like an Imouto to me but even if you don’t know her, Tino is cute and has a good style.
I want you to act while having suspicion rather than just taking my word for it. With that feeling in mind, I said.
“If I had to say ―― I would say it is blessing time.” (Cry)
“...... Eh?” (Tino)
Tino stared in wonder. Even after all this, she still didn’t seem to doubt me.
“Well, you will understand when you do it. I am sorry, but can you get some tea and snacks from the innkeeper? I will leave the choice to you, Tino. Let’s train to eat snacks and drink tea together.” (Cry)
“Eh......? Y-yes. I will be right back, please wait a moment!” (Tino)
“Be back in less than ten minutes.” (Cry)
“Yes!” (Tino)
Tino ran out of the room with just enough strength to not make a mess of her yukata. When she returns, I will give her a lecture while we destroy the snacks and tea.
While yawning, I saw her back off and lay down on the floor once again.

TL notes:
Thanks for reading! Here’s an extra chapter thanks to Mohammad!
That training! No regular men can get stronger by feeling the earth. Only the true genius can succeed!
Remind me of Reborn, where Ryouhei was training with Colonello by resting his body XD
Tchao à plus!
