Chapter 260 Strange Grief Wants to Retire 6

Part 1

What in the world did I do?

Before I knew it, I found myself in a gray world where Gaff, Sora, the Imouto Kitsune, and Kryhi were dancing with their hands linked together with a lot of people with fox masks.

There is no context at all, but for some reason, they seem to be having so much fun. I hit my head and try to remember why I am in this place, but I can’t remember anything at all.

Am I in heaven or in hell? As I watched Kryhi *kurukuru* spin around happily with lightning falling behind him without any sound coming from the sky, I felt as if nothing mattered anymore.

As I slowly blinked my eyes, I was suddenly grabbed by the arm from behind.

“What are you doing, with such a pitiful face――Former Clan Master.” (?)

The one who grabbed my arm was Touka, the Leader of “Torch Knights (Touka Kishi-Dan)”. Behind her, the Party Members led by her, all wearing identical colored equipment, were *kurukuru* spinning around while holding each other’s hands.

It is a simple move, but at any rate, it is spectacular because there are so many of them. Then, I suddenly noticed uncomfortable words mixed with what Touka said.

“Hm......? Former Clan Master?” (Cry)

“Are you sleep talking? You retired a long time ago as a Hunter and as a Clan Master.” (Touka)

“......!!” (Cry)

Retired.................. So, I am retired ...... I don’t remember how it happened, but Touka is not the type of person who makes jokes. Touka’s words are more credible than my memories.

As I rub my eyes, Touka, unusually, says with a big smile on her face.

“So today I have to take care of the rest of my requests. Let’s dance.” (Touka)

Shouted Touka in high spirits. Member from “Torch Knights (Touka Kishi-Dan)”? who had been holding hands spread out as if they were bouncing and began to perform a shaky dance with small steps.

When I was stunned, she now began to reduce the number of fingers one by one――To finally settle on two.

In contrast to me who was shocked, Sytry had a big smile on her face. She is having fun again, doing weird things――.

“Two days? I slept for two days? Just because I am tired, didn’t I sleep way too much?” (Cry)

“No, this is a peace sign.” (Sytry)

“Don’t do something so confusing~!” (Liz)

Liz slapped Sytry’s head vigorously on my behalf. Sytry...... Did something really good happen to you?

Just as I was about to open my mouth, Luke and the others came rushing into the bedroom with their usual vigor.

“Ooooh, Cry. Are you okay? You know what, Gark, the branch manager told me not to chase after him――.” (Luke)

“Haaah...... You finally woke up, Nii-san? Seriously, you made everyone worry about you――” (Lucia)

“...... Umu.” (Anthem)

In the end, I don’t know how many days have passed, but the situation seems to have calmed down.

While I was still slowly being dragged out of my dream world, Sytry gave a small cough and as usual, stepped forward to represent everyone as usual.

“Now then, from where should we begin............ I know, let’s talk about the damage that Cry-san must be concerned about and how we missed the fox even though we had such an advantage.” (Sytry)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

What do you think people would think if they hear Cry say “What a terrible dream” and him being all soaked up when he woke up?

Something along the line of “This is the harbinger of doom”, but good thing it is just Strange Grief who heard him.

And Sytry is such a troll!

Tchao à plus!
