Chapter 50: Honest one
Part 2
Sven overlooked the others. Apparently, I didnât have any allies this time, Sven and Gark-san all watch me with a severe look.
I turn my head to look at Eva who was behind but looked like she wasnât my ally either. She shook her head vertically with a troubled look.
What should I doâ¦â¦? All I am saying is that I donât know what I donât knowâ¦â¦
It seemed like an emergency, so I canât lie my way out.
When I was confused, Gark-san sighed deeply.
âWe suspect the secret organization who did the experiment to be the ãTower of Akasha (Akasha no To)ã. I heard that you, ãStrange Grief (Nageki no Bourei)ã, are after them.
ãTower of Akasha (Akasha no To)ã? I recently heard that name. Moreover, ãStrange Grief (Nageki no Bourei)ã are after them, you say?
I am at least paying close attention to my Party butâ¦â¦ It was the first time I was hearing this. I was twisting my neck for a while, but as expected, I donât remember hearing any of that.
âWhere does this information come from?â (Cry)
âLooks like Talia heard it from Sytry. ãThey are âStrange Griefâs (Nageki no Bourei)â enemiesã. Among them, two Magi, one named Noto Cochlear and another named Sofia are particularly troublesome.â (Gark)
The little girl who was waiting in the back shuddered when she heard what he said.
I have heard of Talia. She wasnât my acquaintance, but she is Sytryâs friend and a rare Alchemist in our Clan. Sytry is a special type of person so I was a little worried as her friend, but I remember feeling relieved when I heard she made a friend.
I lightly wave my hand in her direction, I thought a little, and told Gark-san who was waiting for my word with a serious expression.
âSorry, I donât rememberâ¦â¦ But if I donât know about it, doesnât it mean that it isnât that big of a deal. And it is not like Sytry tell me every single thing.â (Cry)
âTsk⦠Damn. Do you want to do those trials of yours so much!?â (Gark)
Gark-san strongly hits the table.
I am sorry. I am sorry for being so incompetent.
I know the member of our Clan has lived through terrible things because of me and called it a trial to make fun of me.
I am not doing it on purpose⦠It is not done on purpose. Even if I said that they wouldnât be convinced, but it was really just bad luck.
I canât do anything now that the Magic fuel inside my Relics is emptyâ¦
I think someone from the âRabbit Club (Rabbi-ken)â was called Noto, but I donât know anymore, my assumption was that they were Sand Rabbit researchers, so I didnât ask anything more.
It was because I have mastered a certain amount of my essential skill, my ignoring skill.
In the first place, a Magic organization that burrows themselves inside a Sand Rabbit burrow⦠What kind of magic organization is that?
âOkay, thatâs itâ (?)
This was when the door next to the bookshelf opened and made a small noise.
The one who showed up was Liz. She came closer to us. Her strong muscle on her long and slender limbs makes her a powerful beauty.
She suddenly encountered a serious scene in front of her but there was no sign of her shrinking.
Liz looked over all the gathered people and smiled.
âCry-chan is tired, you can ask about it later with me. A lot happened on our side ⦠Itâs good, right?â (Liz) n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â⦠Ah, I will leave everything to you, Liz. If something happen you can let me know later.â (Cry)
Usually, Liz doesnât listen to anyone, but she doesnât only have this peculiarity. Lizâs power as a Hunter exceeds mine in everything. Even in term of knowledge, she is superior to me. I can leave the rest to her with relief.
Since I canât do anything, it is better to leave everything to her.
âYes. As it will bother Cry-chan if we do it here, I will listen to you downstairs.â (Liz)
âWait a minute, Lizâ¦â (Gark)
âWhat? Gark-chan, are you dissatisfied, when I am the one answering your questions?â (Liz)
To Gark-san who said something, Liz crossed her arm and shut him only with her gaze.
The two investigators said nothing. They know they were insignificant in front of her.
However, Sven was stunned by Liz attitude.
Un, Un, thatâs right. If it was the usual Liz, she would have already cut them offâ¦
Today Liz is in a good mood as if her mood before now was a lie.
The only shortcoming is that it only lasts a little, she is only temporarily alleviated, Liz didnât have the time to stay in a good mood like this.
ââ¦Did something happen?â (Sven)
âHmâ¦? Ufufu⦠Does it show?â (Liz)
To anyone who knows the usual Liz, seeing her now, anyone would have asked the same question.
When Sven asked her, Liz made a blooming smile.
When she glances at me who was all messy, she put her palm together and say.
.
âActually⦠Cry-chan helped me. Isnât it awesome?â (Liz)
âHa?â (Sven)
âWell, I wasnât in a pinch, but he was worried about me as I was having a hard time⦠Hey, isnât he so kind? I am falling in love all over again. Right?â (Liz)
Donât ask me to agree. Everyone was having trouble on how to react.
Apparently, there was an operator inside the Golem, it seems that when I release Luciaâs gravity magic âPressureâ, they also got involved in it and that defeated them.
The effective range of Luciaâs magical attack is terrifying. But even more horrifying was⦠The fact that Liz who was also inside the gravity magic radius was down on the ground and she didnât care a single second about it.
Even though she could avoid the golemâs attack, looks like it was impossible to avoid Luciaâs magic.
I canât help but feel sorry for Liz, who is so fondly speaking of it.
â¦Sorry. Sorry I hindered you.
I would have never thought that it could have reached where you were. Next time, I will ask her to narrow the range a little more so, forgive me please.
âSo, Cry-chan, see you later.â (Liz)
âHai, hai, see youâ (Cry)
Liz made a wink and took everyone outside.
Even if she was in a good mood, there was no one who would stop the Genocide Monster.
The only one who was left was Eva, who was silently listening to the report. The Clan Master Office, which was so full suddenly feels wider.
â⦠Was it alright?â (Eva)
âWell, it will be fine one way or another⦠Until now, it has always been fine one way or another.â (Cry)
Everyone in the Clan, except me, are talented so I can rest easy.
Now that nobody was left, I immediately put both my leg on the table in a comfortable way and sighed.
âFirst Step (Ashiato)â is overwhelming. Even if the âRabbit Club (Rabbi-ken)â (Provisional name) was a terrifying Magic organization and did decide to gather and attack, we can handle it.
This time I understand the cause of the uproar, until Lucia comes back and recharges the Magic inside the Relic, I will not do anything dangerous, I already cross the peak.
I donât want to think about exploring any Shrine for a while.
After only one exploration my shoulder was stiff, so I massaged it, and I recalled what I asked Eva before and turn around to ask her.
âBy the way, did you look for a delicious ice cream store in the Empire, as I have asked you the other day?â (Cry)
