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

It was a terrible storm.
I am used to lightning and storms, but I can only recall a small number of times where I have encountered those in the sky.

　The large rocking hull and all the lights and sound.
If I didn’t have my Shirt Relic…… 『Perfect Vacation (Comfortable Vacation)』, then I wouldn’t have been able to be as comfortable as I was right now.

　There was nothing I could do.
Franz-san told me not to do anything, so I was forced to stay in my room and play with the carpet, ready for the ship to fall at any moment.
　The carpet seemed to be in a good mood despite the rocking, and was dancing with the carpet I purchased in Vettant.
The carpet I bought was quite expensive, but it was just a simple carpet so it can not move, but it seems like it doesn’t mind about that.

　The carpet liked it so much that if I am not careful, it might elope with it.
Relics are really strange.
　I forced myself to look away from the carpet, which I felt like my eyes could follow it forever, and looked at Kruz.

“By the way, Kruz, did you do something rude to Term?” (Cry)

“Haaah? If anyone did something rude, it would be you, Yowaningen, desu.” (Kruz)

　Kruz crossed her arms and said that with a disapproving look.
It was a horrible thing to say, but I can’t argue with her because I have angered Franz-san so many times.

　But that is another story.
Term said that he wanted to eliminate Kruz.
Term, who is always so calm, said so much, so she must have done something rude to him.
Kruz is not a bad girl, but she is easily misunderstood because of her unique Spirit People attitude.

’

　There is also a possibility of Term joking though……

“In the first place, Yowaningen calls me too much, desu! I understand that you rely on me, but don’t call me for everything, desu! Every single day you call me to your room…… Are you in love with me, desu! Give it up, desu! The only reason I am doing this is because Lapis ordered me to, and not from goodwill, desu.” (Kruz)

　Even though I didn’t confess to her, I have been dumped.
　I am sorry for calling you every night to charge my Relics.
But normally you don’t usually misunderstand since I ask you to do it every time, no?

　But I don’t hate Kruz.
I love all the people who charge my Relics, and the swearing that comes with her is much lighter compared to others.
　Lapis really sent me someone nice.
It seems that my Human luck is quite good this time.

　Don’t tell me that this time…… I hit the jackpot?

“Speaking of which, it seemed that you couldn’t clear Term’s misunderstanding.” (Cry)

“Kuh…… This is why Human who are in heat all year round――” (Kruz)

’

“………… Don’t say that in front of the Majesty, okay?” (Cry)

“!? There’s no way I’ll say that, are you taking me for an idiot, desu! Don’t think that I am the same as you Yowaningen, desu!” (Kruz)

　Right now, Kruz is under my command.
If I can’t stop her and it becomes a crime of lèse-majesté, I won’t be able to face Lapis who listened to my request and entrusted her to me.
　However, when all of this is over, I will have to thank Kruz…… How about giving her a bunch of Amuzu nuts? She seemed to like the taste, and if she doesn’t use her Magic, the pain wouldn’t be so intense.

　Maybe because we had passed the most climactic point, the ship’s rocking had stabilized.
It was still raining outside the window, but we seemed to have made it through without much damage.
　My precious Sheet Ghosts were struck by lightning, but they won’t die from lightning or falling from the sky, so no worries there.

　And at that time, I suddenly heard the sound of *batabata* running, and the door opened with a bang.

“Fu……Fuhahahahahahahahaha, ahahahaha!” (?)

　It was Franz-san who was full of sweat who came in.

’
　Maybe he had been giving orders to everyone, his expression showed some fatigue, but his eyes were shining powerfully.

　Franz-san didn’t seem to notice Kruz’s shocked eyes, and gave a crazy high-pitched laugh while pointing at me.

“How’s that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》! We made it, we have made it! A storm is nothing for this ship! Your scheme didn’t work, this ship is invincible!” (Franz)

“Eh…… Ah, un, un, that’s right?” (Cry)

　Aren’t you a little bit too overjoyed? In the first place, I didn’t scheme anything and I said that the ship had a ninety percent chance of not falling.
　Franz looked so happy that it looked like he would start to dance.
If you want to dance, I can lend you my carpet as a dance partner.

“Yowaningen, what did you do, desu? You are selling too many fights in too many directions, desu.” (Kruz)

　I don’t remember selling a fight against anyone at all.
So weird.
　But if he put it that way, I feel like arguing with him a little bit.

’

“We still haven’t broken out of the storm yet…… You should better be more careful.” (Cry)

“Fuhahahahahahahahaha…… I don’t care about what a sore loser is saying! I am done with following your charade! Stay put! I have to report this to His Majesty……!” (Franz)

　Franz-san, your tension is way too high.
　After confidently declaring this, Franz-san walked out proudly with his chest out like a nobleman.
Or rather, he was a nobleman, if you think about it.

　Even Kruz stared in wonder at the momentum that made him seem like a storm.
After the door was closed, there was silence for a while, but then she said in a dumbfounded tone.

“He accumulated too much stress, desu.
In cases like this, it is better to drink herbal tea to relax, desu.
Humans should live more freely like us, desu.” (Kruz)

“Herbal tea, heh…… That’s nice.” (Cry)

　Sytry often made it for me.
When I nodded in agreement, Kruz frowned and for some reason, looked as if I missed the point.

“…… You don’t need it, Yowaningen.  You look less stressful than a Spirit People, desu.” (Kruz)

　However, his tension is so high that it makes me worry.
I hope this storm will quickly and completely go away……
