Chapter 155 Strange Grief Wants to Retire 4?

Part 1

Dressed in black armor, a group of people riding horses surrounded the city of Surus.

On the flags that were fluttering in the air were three swords interlocking ―― It was Count Gladys’ coat of arms.

Riding a battle horse, the leader of the group, a man in magnificent armor descended to the ground and looked up at the wall.

“What is this wall............ What happened......” (Gladys Knight Order Leader)

“What a very, late arrival......” (Sytry)

“!? Who is here!?” (Gladys Knight Order Leader)

“To think the first thing you say is “Who are you”...... Isn’t that too rude to the people who did your work for you? Well, it was 『A bonus』 while we were on our vacation, though.” (Sytry)

The commander and his men who were lined up behind him, drew their swords in unison at the shadow that appeared from the gate.

When Kilkill-kun was all excited and was raising his body up and down, Sytry smacked Kilkill-kun’s arm, and responded with a smile.

She took out a request form from her pocket and threw it on the ground. The Commander’s eyes widen at the sight of the request form with Gladys’ crest on it.

“If it is only at this level, then there isn’t even the need to cooperate with you. As you were too slow, we have already crushed the Barrels.” (Sytry)

“Cooperate...... Don’t tell me...... You are a Member of 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》!?” (Commander)

“Yes. I am the one who is in charge of the negotiation for 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》, my name is Sytry Smart. I have heard a lot about the valor of the Gladys army.” (Sytry)

Her short pink-blonde hair was swaying in the wind, and her calm demeanor didn’t make her look like she was engaged in a life-threatening line of work.

The commander’s eyes widened at her calm and enamoring smile. His subordinates, who had their swords drawn and ready, were also flustered.

I had heard that we had made a nomination request to a Treasure Hunter. It was a shame to cooperate with people who didn’t care for public safety and did nothing but search for Relics in Shrines, but Gladys’ army doesn’t let their personal feelings get in the way on their missions.

“............ I see. We will confirm the details with you later ―― But for now, we thank you. So...... Where is 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》?” (Commander)

“I am sorry. Cry-san is in the middle of his vacation...... However, I will relay his message.” (Sytry)

“............ Fumu. Wait, what?” (Commander)

Sytry said with a smile to the Commander who had a nervous look on his face.

“The only thing I didn’t expect was that Gladys’ army wouldn’t make it in time. They really are useless, was what he said. Ah, that’s right. About the bandits, unlike the previous information, there were about three hundred of them, you know. However, this was still within the margin of error......”? (Sytry)

The city was in an uproar due to the bandit group attack and the sudden frog transformation.

As usual, I left Sytry to deal with the late arrival of the knight order and told her to handle the post-processing, and returned to the inn with Luke and the others who had finally joined us.

I feel bad for Sytry, but when I do it, I would immediately piss people off, and also it couldn’t be helped as I don’t understand the situation.

It had been a long time since I had seen Luke or Anthem.

We had known each other since we were childhood friends and before we became Hunters, and we used to see each other almost every day, so it was really unusual for us to not see each other for more than a month.

When we entered the inn room, Luke took off his creepy mask and this was the first thing he said to me.

Like fire, his crimson eyes really represent his personality.

“Cry! This time was too boring! The biggest one wasn’t much either, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?” (Luke)

Luke’s appearance was as usual. He didn’t have any serious injury, and his well-dressed cloak was almost spotless. It seemed that raiding a Level 8 Shrine had gone off without a hitch.

But still, what a terrible thing to say. I wonder if the occupation of the city by the bandits is something like a welcome party for Luke.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading! Thank you Peter for your donation!

Haha so funny when Sytry relayed Cry’s message! No wonder Cry has people who have a grudge against him despite doing “nothing”! XD

Finally, we will have the whole team interaction, Luke asking if Cry is feeling wrong because the enemies weren’t strong was so funny! Wait for the next part for more!

Tchao à plus!
