Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 313，Part2: 2 - Preparation

Chapter 313 Preparation Part 2

My Relic collection also encompasses other subtle, small little things that seem to be perfect for every situation but are in fact not.

There are few things that are useful for hunting, but there are plenty of things that are pointlessly rare or fun to look at, so it might be useful to help us get along with Yggdra’s residents.

I looked around at my prized collection for a while, but could not co to a conclusion on which one to choose, so I got up from Mimic-kun, *ponpon* tapped on its lid, and said.

“Mimic-kun, get all of them.” (Cry)

The super-excellent treasure chest, Mimic-kun, begins to move.

When he jumps up without making a single sound as ever, he opens his mouth and swallows all the Relics one by one by using the arm that grew on his side. He looks exactly like a monster! Mimic-kun’s high functionality knows no bounds.

And then one of the Relics Mimic-kun tried to swallow caught my eye, and I hurriedly *ponpon* hit his lid.

Following my command, Mimic-kun stops moving his hand. The Relic he was holding, rolls on the floor.

It is a saddle-type Relic with a black leather-like texture.

The na of the Relic is 『Black Firm Saddle』. The effect is that it will not co off unless you try to remove it.

However, most saddles are made this way even if they aren’t Relics, so it is completely unpopular and boring. I had forgotten that I have a Relic like this, but――.

I check the saddle I am lifting alternately with Mimic-kun, who listens to my instructions obediently, and I make a big nod.

“Un. Just by having Mimic-kun, you are a Level 8.” (Cry)

It has self-propelling functionality, is secure, and even has a town inside. No other Hunter has a treasure chest like this, right?

I don’t know how to say it, these days I tend to forget that I am a Hunter, but doesn’t it make more Treasure Hunter-like than anyone else.

§

With a *batanbatan* bang and a noisy clang, I descend the stairs of the Clan House.

I feel like I have opened a new door of possibility. The Clan staff mber who I pass by gave a frightened and startled look, but I wasn’t too bothered by it.

After vigorously descending the stairs and forcing open the door, I rush into the Lounge.

All eyes focused on , who appeared triumphantly.

Lyle *buuuh* spurt out the alcohol he was drinking, and the Hunters in the Clan, who were about to stand up, looked at with a stunned expressions.

Tino, who was sitting in her usual spot, let out a small scream and took a step back.

“Hiiih!? Ma-Master~!? What is it this ti!?” (Tino)

“Wha-What are you doing, Cry!? M-Moreover, that treasure chest is――” (Lyle)

“Fuuuh………… Actually, I ca up with a new way to use my Relics.” (Cry)

The patterned shirt-type Relic which maintains my comfort, the 『Perfect Vacation』, and the saddle-type Relic which secures the stability, the 『Black Firm Saddle』.

Thus, the world’s first Treasure Chest Rider, Cry Andrich, was born.

Normally, there is no room to attach a saddle on Mimic-kun’s flat and stiff top, but there is no problem with the 『Black Firm Saddle』, which would never co off unless you tried to remove it.

In addition, the power of 『Perfect Vacation』 can overco the shaking that would normally be a major hurdle to ride it, so this is a brilliant synergy that only a Relic collector who knows the characteristics of many Relics and has acquired even trashy Relics can co up with.

Is its weak point its noisy footsteps? When Mimic-kun is alone, his movents are so quiet that they could be compared to a snake aiming for its prey, but it seems that it is different when I am on it.

But even with that in mind, it can work. Unlike so carpets, Mimic-kun listens to what I say and moves properly, and while petting him, I was filled with confidence for the first ti in a long ti, and Lyle, who has a drawn-back expression, said to .

“N…… Normally, you don’t do it even if you co up with that idea, you know!? Do you have any idea how you look right now?” (Lyle)

“Well………… U-Uhm………… Y-You’re very cool, Master~…………” (Tino)

Lyle offers a harsh opinion. Even the eyes of the generally loyal Tino are swimming left and right.

Hmph………… How can soone who can ride Car-kun know how I feel?

In a sense, riding on a Treasure Chest is the royal road as a Treasure Hunter, and unlike Car-kun, this one has a storage function. I have no regrets.

Tino is *bikubiku* freaking out as I *bakonbakon* approach her while riding Mimic-kun. Well, I am sure it is because she doesn’t have good mories of him after being swallowed or being washed away in him.

“You say that, but it is surprisingly fast. Unlike living creatures, he doesn’t run out of stamina…………” (Cry)

“I-I don’t think so, but………… Master~, don’t tell …… You’re planning to go to Yggdra like this?” (Tino)

“………… Is it not good?” (Cry)

“N-No…………………………………………” (Tino)

Tino *bunbun* shakes her head and is silent. Say sothing……

However, this isn’t sothing you can just ignore. It is a good idea to have him follow us from behind, but in the unlikely event that he runs out of charge and loses his self-propelling function, he will be irretrievable. We already have a track record of dropping Car-kun once.

Besides, the purpose, this ti, is to treat Luke’s petrification. There is nothing better than making an impact when asking for help from the royal family, who may not be very cooperative with humans.

I am going to put Luke’s statue in Mimic-kun anyway, so if we are going to take him anyway, I might just as well ride him!

Then Tino *gokuri* gulps and swallows her saliva and says, as if she has made up her mind.

“How-However…… Right! Well…… If you’re on Mimic-kun, even if it is you Master~, won’t you be slow to react in an ergency?” (Tino)

“It doesn’t matter.” (Cry)

Because Mimic-kun has a higher ability and sense of danger than I do…… On the contrary, it seems safer to be on the treasure chest. You can even hide inside it in case of ergency, and since it is a treasure chest, Mimic-kun seems pretty sturdy.

“!? I-Is that so…………………… Master~, do you really want to ride the treasure chest that badly?” (Tino)

Tino asks with a complex expression that is a mixture of fright, dismay, awe, and pity.

Even I want to ride on a carpet if I can. I envy so hard Tino who can ride Car-kun in the blink of an eye.

“We’re all set! Let’s go, to Yggdra!” (Cry)

“I-I think I should quit this Clan too…………” (Lyle)

Lyle said with a dry smile to who shouted in desperation.
