Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

han poisons――There were many high-level Hunters around the Emperor during the 『White Swords Gathering』, so it would be impossible for an ordinary person to break through them.
It would make sense to have a Level 8 move in order to get past another Level 8 Hunter.” (Sytry)

“…… I see.
What a……………… Meaningless thing to do.” (Cry)

　I had a lot on my mind, but that was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

　I was the one who took that alcohol.
It is just hypothetical, but if the culprit had taken the trouble to put a drug in the alcohol in order to drive me crazy and cause great damage to the Emperor, it would have been a terrible waste of time.
　It wasn’t like I could defeat a single person there even if I was stimulated.

“Indeed…… In any case, Onee-chan endured it, so the situation must be unexpected for them.” (Sytry)

　It would have been seriously bad if Liz had gone on a rampage…… However, the reality was that she didn’t go on a rampage.
　This, smell like a conspiracy.
I doubt that there is a tradition of mixing stimulants into alcohol.

　Sytry’s story wasn’t entirely unimaginable.
But we were fundamentally unrelated, so there was no need for us to find the right answer.
　It was possible that I had accidentally taken the drugged drink, but all I needed was a plausible excuse like there was a conspiracy in order to undermine us.

　I crossed my arms and was silent for a while, but then I looked up and said to Eva.

“Eva, the country may have already noticed this, but I want you to contact the Castle and tell them nicely what you just heard.
Ah, keep it a secret that it was Sytry who put the poison in the food.” (Cry)

“………… Yes, I understand.” (Eva)

“Everything is just a conspiracy.
The fact that Luke cut someone is also a conspiracy.
Tell them in a socially acceptable way something like if there is anything we can do to help, we will do it.
Okay? Just say something socially acceptable and it will be fine.” (Cry)

’

“Y-yes.” (Eva)

　They were dreadful criminals who put drugs at the Gathering.
I definitely don’t want to have anything to do with them.
　Gather your resolve.
I am definitely not going out until the culprit is arrested.

　Luke stood up, stretched widely, and said.

“…… To resume, when the enemies come, I just have to cut them down, right? So, is the meeting over? Then let’s go grab some food.” (Luke)

“………… Umu.” (Anthem)

“Syt, do you know how to make some stimulant agents? Truth is, it was quite hard, so I’ll train while we eat, so bring some.
Ti~, hey, don’t you dare run away~! You’re doing it too~!” (Liz)

　It was an important meeting, but everyone didn’t seem to be particularly concerned about it.
There seemed to be no sense of tension.
There wasn’t even a sense of tension in the air.
　Well, they don’t have any respect for the Emperor…… I already knew about it though.

　Eva sighed deeply when she saw the Members standing up.

　I told Sytry, who was dutifully taking pictures of what was written on the blackboard with her camera.

“Sytry, I am sorry but can you get everything ready to leave the Imperial Capital?” (Cry)

“Of course, I am always ready for anything.
Should we run away, just the two of us?” (Sytry)

　As expected of her…… We won’t run away together, but she knows me very well.

’
　I wonder if it will work out with all this?

§

　The next day, a messenger from the Empire arrived at my doorstep.
　Apparently, the Imperial Castle has been attacked by a dragon.

　………… Why are they telling me this.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!
Haha so it reacted to Cry’s Relic because he is on the lookout for everything while the Magic they casted only reacts to poison! Cry being paranoid saved him!
