Chapter 160 Return

Part 2

“Welcome back, Cry-san...... How was your vacation? I have heard...... Rumors about you.” (Eva)

“Well, a lot happened, but it was fun. Here’s a souvenir for you.” (Cry)

Unlike Sven, whose blood went into his head as soon as he saw my face, Eva behaved as usual.

She received the Onsen Dragon Manju with a dumbfounded expression on her face while I was *nikoniko* smiling.

This is it. This is what I am talking about. This is so soothing.

Whereas, what’s with that look on Sven’s face, it was like he had just found the murderer who had killed his parents. What did I do to deserve that...

“I am sure Cry-san had a tough time with the Barrel Bandits Group, but over here it was also...... It was very hard while Cry-san was absent...... . If you could, go patronize our Clan Members later......” (Eva)

I did and I have already given them Onsen Dragon Manju, you know.

“...... Speaking of which, have you lost some weight?” (Cry)

She didn’t have bed hair and her uniform was worn perfectly. Her glasses were also polished.? But overall, she looked a little slimmer than the Eva I remembered.

Eva was not a Hunter, but she was the real head of this Clan. Since the Clan Members were so exhausted, it was no surprise that Eva was just as tired as they were.

I am just a figurative head, so it didn’t matter whether I was there or not, but not having someone to take responsibility when the time came might have been mentally tough.

“I must have troubled you when I left my seat vacant, so if you have work to do, I will do it instead, so you can get some rest.” (Cry)

The work to manage a Clan is enormous. I don’t really understand most of them, but with Lucia and Sytry’s help, it will work out, yup.

Sytry can do anything and everything, and Lucia helps out every time she can as if she was worried about her brother’s lazy behavior, and she is also a good friend to Eva’s subordinates.

At my suggestion, Eva’s eyes relaxed a little, and then she sighed and shook her head horizontally a little.

“It is alright, the turmoil has already died down...... I left the report on your desk, but due to the conflict between 《Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue)》 and the remnant of the Tower of Akasha, the whole Imperial Capital was in a huge uproar like we were inside a beehive. Even though I said remnants, it seemed that there was still quite a lot of big shot who was still hiding ―― So our Members received an urgent request to help them and we had been mobilized quite considerably.” (Eva)

“Well, that...... Must have been tough.” (Cry)

As I was going to eat a strawberry-flavored Red Dragon Manju, Eva suddenly said something incomprehensible.

“By the way, Cry-san. About the 『White Sword Gathering』 ――” (Eva)

“Ngfu? Nghh............ *Keho, keho* Cough, cough...... Ah, I am sorry I have been away. I promise I wasn’t playing around.” (Cry)

I swallowed my strawberry Dragon Manju and immediately started to make excuses when Eva blinked her eyes mysteriously and said.

“Eh? No............ As it has been postponed...... It will be held in three days. I was wondering if I should call in your absence, but I am really glad you got back in time.” (Eva)

Author’s notes:

Here comes the 5th Arc! Now that all the members are finally here, on the 5th arc I am thinking of expanding the world and write while using adventure as the theme.

Since the 4th part was so long, I’d like to finish the 5th as quickly as possible, but I am still very much at the plotting stage.

At any rate, I hope you will continue to follow my work. ( ′ー`)

I posted this week’s StranGri News in the Activity Report.

It is the release of part 2 of the character design of Volume 3.

For the 2nd part, it is that person who is playing an active (?) role in Volume 3 and beyond. Please check it out if you like.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Haha! Cry tried to run away but will still assist the White Sword Gathering! So much luck XD

And that Lightning Spirit is definitely the one Arnold fought against! That’s why it was already exhausted! So in a way, Cry did help them XD

Tchao à plus!
