Chapter 231 Strange Freak ②

Part 1

The inn was comfortable. The rooms were spacious and air-conditioned, and the food was delicious. The bath was large and the lounge was beautiful.

The Party’s assets are managed by Sytry, so I don’t know how much it cost per night, but I could easily live here if I wanted to.

Sinking deeply into the sofa, I looked at the newspaper delivered to me by the inn service and made a big yawn.

“Ho ho…… This seems so dangerous……” (Cry)

The newspapers were full of stories listing the destructive behavior that occurred last night.

It seemed that the war between the hot-blooded strongmen who came to the festival VS the ruffians who resented them was intensifying.

However, the person who brought me the newspaper from the room service only frowned and didn’t seem to be particularly agitated. Maybe this is some kind of a tradition at this time of the year for Cleat.

There are really some outrageous cities out there. It is hard to believe that this is a civilized country.

But what a surprise?

Even though incidents like this were happening outside, when you are inside this inn, all of it becomes irrelevant.

Maybe because the inn is frequented by noblemen and wealthy merchants, the security at the inn is flawless. There was once a Fox Mask Fan Club member stuck under the window, but other than that, no other suspicious people have entered the inn.

Well, even if they did come in, it would not be a problem because our manslayer has a lot of time on his hands.

To begin with, if you are in danger in a place you thought was safe, it is still more satisfying to be in danger in a place where you know it is dangerous, QED.

This is――An 『Enlightenment』. It is also called giving up. I have had too much bad luck so far.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, this is my new technique, the dividing sword! Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” (Luke)

“Hey, watch out~! Your sword, it’s breaking~! Luke-chan, you can’t do that with a wooden sword~!” (Liz)

Liz and Luke were having a mock battle because the living room was spacious.

There were abnormal sounds of swords cutting through the air, but there was no sound of their footsteps. At first, they were *dotan batan* noisy, but when I told them to stop because it was disturbing the neighbors and would destroy the room, they started a mock battle while taking that into consideration.

Moreover, they were starting to talk about how it was a training to give their all while being quiet. It was good that they could enjoy themselves with anything, but that wasn’t my point.

No matter how spacious the room is, there is no need to conduct a mock battle indoors. There are plenty of training grounds outside, so why are you doing it here?

Then, at that moment, Liz raised a short voice.

“Ahh!” (Liz)

There was a tremendous cracking sound. A broken wooden sword pierced through, shattering the windowpane right in front of me.

Having no idea what was going on at all, all I could do was smile.

I couldn’t even see what kind of trajectory the wooden sword had taken.

Liz’s movements were too fast for my eyes to see, but Luke and the others’ movements being this fast isn’t a new thing for me. If my Barrier Rings weren’t something that activated automatically, I am sure I would have been inadvertently killed by my best friends.

Rather, my Barrier Rings, they didn’t activate just now, did they? I was between Luke, Liz, and the window. How could the wooden sword be dexterous enough to break the window without hurting me?

I would rather have it hit me than pay for the window, tho’……

And then Lucia, who was on the sofa with me and was reading a book, yelled at me.

“Heyyy! No matter how bored you are don’t do anything stupid indoor!” (Lucia)

“You deflected my dividing sword, huh!? …… Not bad, Lucia!” (Luke)

“Don’t not bad me! Don’t do it!” (Lucia)

Aaaah, Lucia deflected it with her magic. When did she do that……?

Magic is something that has a time lag when you use it, but her speed of activation, which seems to bypass a disadvantage like that, was undoubtedly something that she had cultivated thanks to Luke and the others.

Lucia was surely glaring at me when she pointed her staff, which was by her side, at me.

“Leader too! Why are you spacing out when there is a sword flying at you!” (Lucia)

“………… Because I wanted to space out?” (Cry)

“…… Moooh!” (Lucia)

No, I couldn’t see it, you know. I didn’t notice it, you know. Rather, it has been a long time since I couldn’t see it. It was just a habit that I don’t become agitated. It’s because I have given up.

I looked at the shattered inset window and asked Lucia with a hopeless attitude.

Is it a blessing in disguise that the street of the broken window side has few pedestrians?

“Lucia, fix the window with your magic.” (Cry)

“Huh…… How, do I do that?” (Lucia)

“Look, use that one, you know…… Window Restoration Magic.” (Cry)

“…………” (Lucia)

Lucia looked at me as if I was a carp on top of a cutting board.

It’s okay, I am sure it is going to be okay. I am sure it will be fixed by tomorrow. It has been fine so far. Lucia is excellent, so it will be fine.

…………

I stood up to avoid her gaze and performed a scolding performance on Luke and Liz.

“! Hey, Luke, Liz stop fidgeting! Stop always bothering Lucia! This is what I am always warning you about! This!” (Cry)

The strongest and badass Hunter’s weakness is his excellent sister-in-law. He has never been able to oppose her.

Lucia, see, it is not my fault. It is Luke and Liz who are bad.

“Buuut, there are no enemiiies. Enemies~.” (Liz)

“Exactly, enemies. Give me enemies! My soul is trembling with the desire to slay!” (Luke)

There is something wrong with you seriously doing a mock battle with one of your Party Members just because you are bored or because there are no enemies.

Learn from Anthem and Sytry who went to treat the victims of last night! Seriously, you guys are really…!

Then when I showed my indignation to my heart’s content, I came up with a good idea.

I know, let’s leave them with the Fox Mask Fan Club.

Letting them rampage indoors now will become a problem and Lucia’s mood is bound to get worse.

It is also a problem to let them exhaust their energy right before the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, but apparently, they have too much energy in them……

Both of them have been denied by Touka, but this time I am not leaving them with Touka. They may have to fight together, but they aren’t with Touka.

This is what the Divine Strategist is all about, this is also known as sophistry.

.

“…… Aaaah. Uuuuun, but you know……” (Cry)

If you think about it rationally, I am the wrong person to be cooperating with the Fox Mask Fan Club.

Sora insisted that I was the real deal or something, but they have destroyed several criminal organizations, so I can’t take back what I said, but it doesn’t change that it is a misunderstanding.

Is it really a good idea to leave Luke and Liz with them?

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Lucia, time to take out the grimoire Cry wrote to learn Windows Restoration Magic.

Just leave Luke and Liz with the Kitsune, Cry.

They will wipe all the secret organizations that are in Cleat in one fell swoop!

Tchao à plus!
