Chapter 208 Living Calamity SP
Part 1
Aaaah...... Another shitty day.
The scorching sun was shining and burning the land. The men working outside tilted their tanned faces and grudgingly stared at the cloudless sky while wearing white cloaks to protect their skin.
Most of Toizant’s land, the Land of Sand, is a barren desert. It used to be a land of constant strife. The massive influx of Treasure Hunters looking for the Treasure Shrine has united the people, but the fact remains that most of the territory consists of useless land.
Rain falls only a few times a year, and the temperature varies widely between day and night. Sandstorms bewilder travelers, and most of the land is infested with powerful Monsters that adapted to the climate, making it impossible to even build a road.
The only place that is reasonably prosperous is the capital, which is centered around one of the few large oases in Toizant, while the rest of the city still lacks food for their daily life.
There are many Treasures Shrines in Toizant, but their average level is high, so there are no Treasure Shrines where commoners can dive like there is in the great Empire of Zebrudia. This is one of the reasons why Toizant had not developed for a long time, and even now, although things have improved, most of the people remain poor.
“Damn, it’s not good, this one’s not growing either.” (Man)
The organization where those men belong to has the goal to save the country.
In a small village built a few dozen kilometers away from the capital. Their activity was taking place in a village that was built exactly over an earth vein.
It was tree plantations.
On endless sand and gravel. There were long, brittle trees planted at even intervals. The scrawny villagers were desperately sprinkling them with water, but the leaves were brown and dying, and the branches are as thin as a man’s pinky finger, and they didn’t look like they were growing properly at all.
“I am sure it will enrich this land. Maybe it won’t work, but it will stay the same as before, no? Just give it a try.” (Cry)
It was such a ridiculous story. Originally, what he said would have been laughed out loud.
However, the Treasure Hunter certificate that the man presented was real. The title of Level 8 carried weight. The Certification Level of the strongest Hunter in Toizant was 8. The man in front of us did not look that strong, but his title was too great to ignore.
.
When the villager was stunned, the Hunter―――Cry Andrich said.
“Once a day, offer a piece of Aburaage to her. If you do then I am sure it will work.” (Cry)
“...... Three piece” (Imouto Kitsune)
The fox-masked child beside him tugged at the hem of his cloth and said that. Cry quickly rephrased.
“............ You will offer three pieces. Aaaah, also...... I want you to bury this. I want you to bury it deep in the ground. Okay?” (Cry)
“Aaaah, Cry-san...... No way, such a waste.” (Sytry)
The pink-blonde woman widens her eyes and lets out a small scream. It was such a tenseless exchange, but our leader’s eyes were glued to the divine white tail that the Level 8 Hunter―――The hero offered him.

TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Too bad Cry didn’t take the Imouto Kitsune to the Clan! It would have been so funny to watch everyone in the Clan’s reaction.
Now, how much time do we have to wait before what Cry did will come and bite him in the ass (In the good and the bad sense)! XD
Tchao à plus!
