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

Chapter 341.1: New Strategy ④

After finishing the strategy meeting, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) leaves in high spirits. After a few minutes of making sure the door is closed, I take another look at the chain left on the table and finally speak.

Dog's Chain? Why? (Adler)

There are still some members left in the room other than Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka). However, no one seems to be able to answer my questions. I look at Sytry, who was the one planning the strategy, but she looks away.

The chains placed on the table moved like a living being, forming the shape of a dog, but that was not a Monster that I specialized in.

It is a Relic. A Chain-Type Relic so famous that even Adler knows itA variation of a Living Chain.

Dog's Chain.

It is a Chain-Type Relic that, when activated, begins to move as if it was infused into life and captures its target.

The dog's chain turns its head (?) towards me and sits down. Its behavior certainly resembles that of a dog and is certainly a little cute.

However, even if you say it seems like it has been infused into life, it is in no way alive at all.

I know that Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) is a Hunter with a great deal of wisdom and skills. However, after thinking about it for a few minutes, I couldn't understand the meaning of that man's attempting to use the Dog Chain here.

Relics are basically inflexible. Living Chain type Relic also acts as if it is alive, but it should not be able to execute detailed instructions It is true that if we target the Living-Chain as the far-sighted target, our strength will not be reduced even in the event of an accident occurring, but that means that the Living-Chain is not what we would call a fighting force.

In the first place, the original function of the Dog's Chain is to capture a target. It is doubtful that it can fulfill its role as a reconnaissance tool. At the very least, if I were in Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) position, I would not choose to use a Living Chain. After all, the other side has already seen through the effects of the mirror of reality.

The deepest part of the Treasure Shrine reflected by the mirror of reality. The black fog that has gathered above the jet-black altar. While we were looking at it, huge eyes suddenly appeared and certainly caught us in the act. It was so obvious that it couldn't be dismissed as a coincidence.

Something transcendent. That was a glimpse of an evil god in a different category than the Star-Eater Centipede who is feared for its fighting prowess.

There, Uno, who, like me, looks unclear about Infinite Variety'ss (Senpen Banka) decision, blinks her eyes and speaks without confidence.

Adler-sama, perhaps It is necessary to use a Relic. Needless to say, there are many other options for Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka). And from among them, the Living-Chain is the one chosen. (Uno)

What can be the necessity that needs to use a Relic? (Adler)

Well I don't understand everything either, but Phantoms and Relics are both originally composed of Mana Materials. Maybe for that god, Relics aren't considered as its enemyyyyy. (Uno)

I've never heard of something like that? Do you have any evidence that supports that? (Quint)

No. But if you don't think like that, I don't understand the point of using the Dog's Chain at allllll. (Uno)

Quint makes a disgusted expression at what Uno said. Uno's guess is reasonable. Adler became Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) apprentice in search of his ability as a Guide. If Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka), who should have known that, chooses a Relic that has nothing to do with a Guide's ability as his next move, there must be a good reason for it.

It is just hypothetical, but maybe it is possible that using a Relic is one of the steps to subdue a Phantom.

Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) is the only one who didn't change his attitude even after seeing the god's eyes that froze everyone in the room. This means that Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) has a method to overcome that god.

I feel someone's gaze on me and look up. The people watching us are the rest of the people who were in the same room listening to what Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) said.

The infamous Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) and a Party of beautiful Spirit People. I've fought against them once and know their abilities. NoEven if that's not the case, you can tell that they are first-class Hunters from their behavior.

If they include us, we have enough strength. Putting aside whether we can or cannot defeat the god head-on, I am sure we can at least carry out the strategy that Sytry explained. Even if it is in front of my former enemies. I can't show them my pathetic side. I lick my lips and narrow my eyes.

Hmph It's getting interesting. Let's see how good your Leader's skills are (Adler)

You guys Don't understand Anything about Cry-san. (Sytry)

What did you say? (Adler)

I couldn't help but open my eyes widely due to the emotion behind her voice.

Excitement and awe. AndA strong will.

Her eyes do not doubt her Leader's action at all. No, there are some interrogations mixed in it, but at the root of it is trust in Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka). Sytry puts her hands together and says with a smile.

There is no mistake in Cry-san's course of action. That is why we accept Adler-san and your group as well. It is impossible for an amateur to guess what Cry-san is thinkingRight now, we just have to do what we have to do. Well then, we have some preparations to make, so please excuse us (Sytry)

You guys, still don't know how terrifying Master~ is (Tino)

Hh!? (Adler)

Just before leaving the room, the last girl to leave with black hair tied up with a ribbon points her index finger at me and says something as if to threaten me. However, more than anyone else present, her expression looks like she is going to die.

A Treasure Shrine is an unknown world. It is known that the difficulty of conquering it basically increases in proportion to the concentration of Mana Materials in it, but once you reach a certain level, it becomes difficult to challenge it without careful preparation and research.

Conquering a Treasure Shrine can sometimes be likened to a puzzle. Some extremely High-Level Treasure Shrines cannot be conquered without following a set procedure. Treasure Hunters refine their skills outside of combat by gradually increasing the level of the Treasure Shrines they conquer.

And among the Members of Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei), a Party who think it is fine to just punch through it, Sytry Smart is particularly skilled at that kind of thing. The Temple of Origin can be called an exceptional Treasure Shrine, but I am sure the experience she will gain this time will be useful in their next adventures.

That's perfect, mmh Then please take care of the rest. Well then, I will go help Sytry and her group (Cry)

Wai-WaitCry-chaaaan!? (Liz)

One day has passed since Sytry announced her strategy. I quickly activate the dog's chain at Liz and the other place, shake off their restraints, and head towards Sytry's group.

Sytry is making preparations with Lucia and Serene in a workshop built in a section of Yggdra. It seems that the spacious place with only a roof in place was originally a place to conduct magical research.

Thanks for reading! Sorry I'm late but here's yesterday's chapter. You can keep racking your brain Adler, but an amateur like you will never understand Cry's plan!
