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

Chapter 326，Part1: 2 - Yggdra

Chapter 326 Yggdra?

Part 2

“The work you succeed in is a great one. I can see it. Wandering Spirit People――You are――A descendant of the forest Shero ruled over, isn’t it?” (Serene)

“…………” (Eliza)

　Eliza looks at Selene with sleepy eyes and nods.

　You should at least do it right at times like this. Don’t tell me you are in a comfortable state right now?

“The indiscriminate curse that Shero cast was by no means excusable. But there is ample room for sympathy there. She is not the only one responsible, the people of Yggdra and the human side are responsible too. Anyway, the order we issued is hereby completed. I feel a sense of fate that she has returned at this time after being missing for so long.” (Serene)

　Serene lets out a deep sigh. I wondered why they were looking for the Cursed Stone, but it seemed that it was an order from Yggdra.

　But while I am glad Eliza found what she was looking for, what about Luke’s petrification.

　It would have been nice if the curse had been lifted together with Shero as she calmed down, but what a tactless curse.

“And then, human――No, Cry Andrich.” (Serene)

　There, Serene stares at me and melodically says.

“I heard the general story. It is said that you found the Cursed Stone and brought it to Eliza. On behalf of the people of Yggdra, I thank you as well.” (Serene)

“Eh? No………… It is not like I did anything in particular tho’.” (Cry)

　The same goes for Eliza and Kruz, but why do all Spirit People have eyes as beautiful as jewels? I feel very unsettled when they look at me like that.

　And what kind of explanation did Eliza give to Serene? No matter how you think about it, that uproar wasn’t as simple as me finding the Cursed Stone and bringing it to Eliza.

　For the time being, I try to deceive her with a badass smile, when Serene clears her throat slightly and says something that seems difficult to say.

“Originally, I would have given something as a thank you to Yggdra’s new brethren who helped Shero――But as I briefly said along the way, Yggdra is now facing a crisis. We have nothing to give you.” (Serene)

“……………… Ah, okay……” (Cry)

　I unintentionally let out a curt voice. It was just by chance that I got the Cursed Stone and I didn’t come here to ask for a reward, but it is problematic that we cannot achieve our purpose of coming here.

　I don’t even know how long it will take for Luke to become a complete statue. If Serene cannot break the curse, we need to find another solution.

　For example, how about going to the main temple of the “Light Spirit (Korei)” Church? Anthem’s Healing Magic is strong, but it doesn’t mean he is the top user of dispelling curses. The chances of finding out something are not zero.

　Or maybe he would be cured if we peeled off the surfaces……

　When I frown and tilt my head, Serene’s expression becomes cloudy, and says.

“……………… We are really, really thankful. If you want, you can take anything from Yggdra.” (Serene)

“Ah, no, I didn’t mean to――” (Cry)

　Not only Spirit People are said to have a strong sense of kinship, but if I were to make their queen bow her head, it could ruin our entire relationship with 《Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai)》.

　And then, just as I was about to open my mouth in a hurry, a roar suddenly shook the air.

　Serene stiffens in surprise. The source of the sound was――Liz.

　An irritated expression on her face and her toes wrapped in her Relic are stuck in the ground.

　It seems that she kicked the ground with all her strength. I thought she had been listening quietly until now, but what happened?

　Serene isn’t the only one who is surprised. My heart is *bakubaku* pounding because of the sudden loud noise she made.

　Liz stands in front of Serene, who is stiff with her eyes wide open, clicks her tongue, and says.

“Your story’s too long! You’re only talking about irrelevant things, even tho’ you’re the Queen of the Spirit People, but you don’t even know what Cry-chan wantsss? See, Cry-chan, is in a bad mood now!?” (Liz)

　…… I am not. I am not in a bad mood! Besides, I don’t want anything. I have already heard that she cannot lift the curse. Even if I ask her to do it, if it is impossible, it is impossible.

　Maybe Liz has something else she wants, but it would be too cruel to ask for it from Yggdra right now.

“No, Liz, wait a minute――” (Cry)

　As expected, I try to stop her, but Liz is already not hearing what I am saying.

　Her boldness is both her strength and her weakness.

　Completely ignoring me, Liz approaches Serene and grabs her by the collar.

　And then, glaring at Serene from close range with her *giragira* glaring eyes, Liz speaks with a strong voice.

“Who cares about your boring talk! We’re busy here, so Cry-chan is telling you to quickly guide him to that dangerous Treasure Shrine that has manifested in the World Tree!” (Liz)

　………… I didn’t say that.
