Chapter 265 Return to the Everyday Life

Part 1

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!” (Cry)

Imperial Capital of Zebrudia. The private room of the Clan House.

Somehow, when I returned from Toizant, I did something similar. With a sense of déjà-vu, I spun around in a big circle on the spot and fell back onto the bed that had been so familiar to me for so long.

A custom-made bed with just the right amount of bounce softly accepts me.

”Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)”. A trip that was supposed to be just sightseeing ended up in a terrible mess.

My body felt heavy as if the gravity around me had increased. Although there was no substantial damage (Although my reputation took some damage), I felt strong fatigue.

Physically and mentally――I was glared at a lot by Franz-san, the bad foxes held a grudge against me, and I somehow managed to cheat about the Imouto Kitsune who should have been a huge problem if it was known that she had been outside and in the end, even though it was 90% my fault, I was able to suppress the Key of the Earth that had activated. I should have the right to rest now.

I have decided. I will never go outside. No matter what happens, I will never leave my room for a while!

Fortunately, I have everything here. I can have my meals brought to me, and there is even a bathroom. I also have a large number of Relics to polish.

It seems that the Empire will negotiate with neighboring countries and cooperate with them to eradicate the “Fox (Kitsune)”. It seems that Treasure Hunters who had gathered there have also received a request.

I also received a request to cooperate, but I firmly refused. I was glared at by everyone, including Gark-san, but I don’t care, I have other things to do!

With firm determination, I declared to Eva who was standing near the entrance of the room with a dumbfounded look on her face.

“Eva! I am not allowing any visits for a while! Even if it is from the country, merchants, Gark-san, or anyone who sends me a request, turn them away! I have other things... To do!” (Cry)

“Ehhhhh...... What is it that you have to do?” (Eva)

“Nothing is what I am going to do.” (Cry)

“Are you............ Being philosophical?” (Eva)

I am not philosophizing. I just need a rest for my brain. Well, if you are asking me if I am using it to the point of exhaustion, it is pretty doubtful tho’...... ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

I twist my heavy body on the bed and stretch my back as far as I can to relax my body.

Now, the letter only says one sentence, but I have an idea as to why Eliza entered the room while I was away.

When I got up, I looked around the room and discovered a box at the foot of the side table. It was a rugged wooden box.

When I moved the heavy box with difficulty and opened the lid, I found a large amount of junk that I did not understand what it was.

Old worn-out boots and rusty coins. A bladeless knife and a simple metal ring. All of these seemingly worthless items were Relics coming from Mister Treasure Shrine. Perhaps they had been found by Eliza while she was wandering. Maybe some of them might have been store-bought items, but that was of no importance.

Initially, it is said that Spirit People of the Desert had a nature that made them love the earth and travel the world. Spirit People of the Forest are known for never leaving their forests, but Spirit People of the Desert are all travelers, though not as much as Eliza.

”Spirit People of the Desert (Desert Noble)” are natural-born Hunters who have traveled to many magical lands with their superior magical qualities, affinities for spirits, flexible bodies, and keen intuition. Even today, there are many uncharted natural areas in the world, and the areas they enter include many Treasure Shrines.

I also met Eliza at a certain desert Treasure Shrine.

Eliza is a skilled, happy-go-lucky, intuitive, and genuine Hunter――And isn’t very materialistic.

Eliza Beck’s goal was to enter the Treasure Shrine in itself, so she showed little interest in the Relics that exist inside or the drops items from the Phantoms she had defeated. Of course, she needed money to wander around, so she picked up items that looked valuable, but most of the time she left them there.

I was the one who stopped her from doing that. She had gone to the trouble of entering a dangerous Treasure Shrine and found Relics, it would be a shame not to bring it back home with her.

Even though most of the Relics she found in the Treasure Shrines are junk-Relics, they can be worth a good amount of money if you collect enough of them.

Thus, an agreement was made between Eliza and me.

Eliza brings back the Relics and I sell them and give her the profits. I don’t take a commission, but she promised that if I find a Relic I want in the loot, I can get it. It is a contract in which no one loses.

Sytry manages the loot during their activities as a Party, so the only things she brings to me are those she obtains during her solo activities, but the more times she does it, the more items she gives me.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

I am baaack! And what a fantastic news I got Strange Grief Light Novel is being officially translated by J-Novel Club. Normally, we shouldn’t have a bad surprise with them. Now finger cross that they will make a physical release of it!

We start the 7th Arc with a truckload of information on Eliza, the only member of Strange Grief we never see, nice!

But if she is really sensitive to disaster, I think it is normal that we can’t see her as Cry is a walking disaster XD

Hope we can see her soon!

Tchao à plus!

Footnotes

Here there is no pronoun but it can be “you” or “it”. But further down seems to make me think that she mean she can’t find Cry.Horo: mean Wanderer or Lost one.
