Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 275，Part1: 1 - In Return

Chapter275，Part1: 1 - In Return Chapter 275 In Return Part 1

“I thought I should listen carefully to what you have to say for once. Seriously, what do you guys in 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》 think my disciples are!” (Thawne)

Thawne Rowell, the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》 is famous as a swordsman who possesses a perfect combination of mind, technique, and body. His contribution to the developnt of swordsmanship is astounding, as is his skill with the sword, and the Thawne style swordsmanship he developed from his original techniques is now widely recognized in the Empire. The ability of the Thawne School is also very high compared to other schools and is said to be on par with that of Hunters who have improved their basic abilities by absorbing Mana Material.

He is highly trusted by the nobility and his school is recognized in the public as one of the forces protecting Zebrudia and is on the sa level as the regular Knight Order. The fact that he sent Luke to guard the 『White Swords Gathering』 last ti is still fresh in my mind. In other words, he has enough power to send a manslayer to an important eting and enough influence to remain calm even if that said manslayer goes on a rampage. Aweso!!!

What I am trying to say is that our Luke, who had learned the Thawne-style swordsmanship and absorbed a ridiculous amount of Mana Material, is the most dangerous.

Thawne-san continued while *zuruzuru* dragging .

Lucia sighs and follows from behind, but she doesn’t help .

“Do you know how many petitions I get because of Luke? Hmm? I am 80, but I can’t afford to give way to the next generation!” (Thawne)

“………… My apologies for everything.” (Cry)

But isn’t there a problem with them too, as they didn’t nurture his heart and only nurtured Luke’s skills?

“During the White Swords Gathering, I sent him there because he said he would listen to what the security guards say but he completely ignored it, he completely disregarded the job I gave him in exchange for the right to participate in the Supre Martial Arts Festival. He tried a new strange technique on the senior disciples, he tried a new strange technique on the junior disciples, he tried a new strange technique on the new disciples, he tried a new strange technique on ――” (Thawne)

He keeps on trying new strange techniques, huh………… I am glad to see that he is doing well!

“I let him ditate for ntal training, read books, get hit by waterfalls, entrust him to guide his junior disciples, teach him soft techniques, let him handle requests that co in, let him handle escort requests, but nothing changes at all! At the end of the day, he will incite other disciples to raid a Treasure Shrine, launch a raid on bandits’ ho base, or use our na to challenge other dojos without permission, and do whatever he wants! Do you know how I feel when I tell him to think about sothing other than swords?” (Thawne)

Said the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》 as if he was fed up. It seems that the complaints are accumulating because I rarely stop by.

Even though I wasn’t trying to run away anymore, Thawne-san didn’t let go of my hand. I was dragged into the mansion. And I said while feeling like a cow being shipped.

“Well………… I think you should directly tell that to the person responsible.” (Cry)

“Hoh. You think I did not tell him that?” (Thawne)

“………… I don’t think I am the person you should tell that to.” (Cry)

“………………” (Thawne)

“!? Nii-san !?” (Lucia)

Thawne-san fell silent at my words that ca out unintentionally.

This person is really a person of character…… If it had been Franz-san just now, he would have definitely been furious.

I smiled from the bottom of my heart and said cheerfully.

“Luke is lucky to have you as his “Master (Shisho)”. I can leave him to you――No, let leave him to you!” (Cry)

“………… Do you think you can fool with this!? I thought that he would calm down if he t soone, but Luke cut down the woman I introduced to him, you know!?” (Thawne)

Eh!? This story is new to . This guy is more of a challenger than I thought. Even I, his childhood friend, would not be willing to make such an attempt. He is truly a master of his craft.

And since Luke, who rather talks about everything, didn’t say anything, my guess is that――He didn’t think it was a matchmaking, I think?

“He thinks that there are only two types of people in this world: those he can cut and those he shouldn’t cut too much. He is really troubleso. Was the other party a swordswoman?” (Cry)

“Does Luke cut anything if his opponent is a swordsman? Hmm?” (Thawne)

“…… Well, he will if it is a reasonably strong opponent. Although, I usually let him have a wooden sword, or else he will cut his opponent……” (Cry)

I don’t know if it is because of the Mana Material or because of Thawne, but Luke’s abilities know no bounds. Godspeed to Luke Psykol as he continues on his own path!

“Luke said this, you know. If she’s a strong swordswoman, I’ll et her!” (Thawne)

“………… Let’s stop talking about it anymore. It is useless and there is no point talking about it with . I am sure the years will take care of everything.” (Cry)

I said sothing that I didn’t believe at all.

I heard that Thawne-san used to rampage as well, so I guess the probability of it is not zero. I would like to believe that it is not zero.

“Besides, even with this――I am trying to teach him not to aim for vitals as much as possible! Because if he kills them, even Anthem can’t bring them back to life!” (Cry)

“…………” (Thawne)

Thawne-san said nothing.

In a delicate atmosphere, I was dragged into the mansion without question. It was only after entering a magnificent tatami-matted reception room that I was released.

Thawne-san’s mansion has a different structure than those in the Imperial Capital. If I had to say so, I would say it is a little closer to the Onsen inn in Surus.

As soon as I took off my shoes and was led into the tatami room before anyone said anything to , I sat straight on my knees, put both of my hands together, and bowed my head deeply.

So people aren’t used to sitting on their knees because they usually wear shoes in the Imperial Capital, but I am different. For , it is almost unsatisfactory because the hard ground is not under .

Thawne-san didn’t react at all when he saw do a dogeza. Is this the ikyo Shisui?that is in the Thawne swordsmanship style?

Lucia is so much more responsive. With deadly cold eyes looking at , tho’.

Thawne-san, who was sitting in front of , said.

“I heard from Franz-kyo. It seems that Zebrudia has received a prediction of calamity. And it is speculated that the identity of it is a curse.” (Thawne)

Huh? What’s that, that’s new to . When I asked Franz-san to diate with the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》 on the Symphonic Stone earlier, we didn’t talk about that in particular.

I raised my head. Thawne-san was sitting cross-leg on the floor with his arms crossed, looking at with a sharp gaze as if he could see right through .

“That’s………… It is like a bargain sale of calamity, isn’t it? How many tis have we been here already this season……” (Cry)

“So you are telling that you are used to it by now, right 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 .” (Thawne)

No, that’s not what I wanted to say……

As far as I know, there are several things that co to my mind. I wonder why the Imperial Capital is so peaceful with so many things happening. Could it be that incidents with Treasure Shrines and the “Fox (Kitsune)” are not as big as I think?

Ark and the others aren’t there every ti I want them, so are they unexpectedly stopping incidents in places I don’t know about? I will ask him the next ti I see him.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Haha Luke is really trying to master the Lightning Sword move!

I wonder when he is going to show this technique

And lol at Thawne Jii-san trying to find a waifu for Luke

Tchao à plus!
