Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 324.2: Drifting Road of the Divine Tree ⑤

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lapis then looks down at her companions, who are still slumped over and says in a serious voice.

And it looks like you girls lost the bet just now. If what that Spirit said is true, then this incident has nothing to do with this man. In addition, this man accepted the Spirit's request without hesitation. Needless to say, as a Spirit People, we owe him a lot. I suspect you understand? (Lapis)

That's why, I told you it isn't Yowaningen's fault, desu! (Kruz)

The mbers of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) lower their heads in response to Lapis' stern gaze and Kruz's astounding words. They are always strong around, so if they suddenly change their attitude like that, it makes feel unsettled.

In the first place, rather than accepting it, it was more like I didn't understand what it was saying Heck, I doubt you owe anything, no?

It goes without saying that having my reputation lower because of misinformation is troubleso but having my reputation go up due to a misunderstanding is also troubleso. I call Lapis in a hurry.

It is okay, Lapis. I don't think you owe anything due to this incident. I just did what I wanted to do, you don't need to worry about the bet. That wasn't fair. (Cry)

I knew that I was not at fault and the bet was too favorable on my side as we had drowned out what I would have to do if I had lost. If I had actually lost, there is a possibility that they would have made a new request, but even then Sytry would have cleverly cheated our way out. As for the Spirit's request, I have not yet decided whether to accept it or not. I inadvertently said "Ah Yes.", but I should still be able to take it back.

The problem is when should I confirm the contents of the request with Lapis I hope there will be a good timing for that.

When I frown and think about such a thing, one of the Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) stands up vigorously. She *girori* glares at and stands in front of , still slightly staggering. Her eyes are like jewels shining silently with clean lines and sharp features. As I stiffen involuntarily under her mysterious pressure, the female Magi says to in a low voice.

I-I madeWe made a mistake. Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka). I apologize for all the rude words and suspicions I have raised. I hope you will forgive Desu. (Astor)

A total surrender from them was completely unexpected.

The female Magi lowers her head deeply and following her, the other mbers lower their heads too. How would they feel if they knew I don't even rember their nas? Because, you see They rarely co to the Clan House, so I don't have a chance to interact with them.

Kruz says to with a sorry look on her face for so reason.

Yowaningen, please forgive them, desu. Astor also apologized using honorifics. It is just that, well They don't really understand much about you, Yowaningen, desu. (Kruz)

No, of course, there is no problem, but I also think that it can't help that I am being suspected in a situation like that. (Cry)

In the first place, I don't need an apology or anything Rather, the way to use honorifics isn't unique to Kruz, huh. That is more surprising to .

When I don't know what to do, the female Magi that Kruz called Astor raises her head. At the sa ti, the other mbers of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai), who are standing behind her, swarm towards .

You are a good guy, desu. It seems I was wrong about you, desu. Level 8, I thought it was just a silly scale made up by humans, but it seems to be correct in its own way, desu. (Astor)

On top of fixing a Spirit which has power close to that of a deity, you even rescue our captive comrade It would be a sha to let him with human, desu. No wonder Lucia thinks so highly of him, desu. (Starlight mber 1)

What's more, you responded to a request from such a Spirit without hesitation! I will make you my friend, desu! (Starlight mber 2)

The mbers of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) are talking to excitedly. There isn't even a shred of contempt that had been floating in their expression until a mont ago.

Lucia's cheeks are twitching due to their excessive transformation and Kruz is also vexed.

Eh? I don't rember Spirit People being this friendly?

No, before that, what did that Spirit ask of ? I am thinking of refusing, but it is hard to say nooo.

I know, human. It is not exactly quid pro quo, but as an apology for my rudeness, I will give you my treasure, desu! Take care of it, desu! (Astor)

N-No, I don't want itThat's (Cry)

Astor even tries to hand over a ring with a green gem that she is wearing. I heard that Spirit People who are salty toward humans are also lenient toward those they are close with, but her sudden change in attitude is too much.

I can't accept her treasure. It is becoming harder and harder to say no. Moreover, I am out of free fingers.

Astor looked hurt for a mont at my firm refusal, but as soon as she thought of sothing, she took out a knife from her pocket and without hesitation slid it through her long hair. A strand of hair like gold thread falls down. Astor gives a confident smile and offers a bundle of her hair as my eyes widen at her incomprehensible behavior.

I know, if you don't want my treasure, I will part so of my hair, desu! It is my thanks for listening to the Spirit's request. The hair of a Spirit People is a rare catalyst for Magic. It is not sothing a human would normally be able to obtain, be thankful for it, desu! (Astor)

Everyone is stunned by her actions. In particular, Sytry puts her hand to her mouth and her expression is filled with surprise and delight. The expression on Sytry's face is the one that cos to her when a truly impossible fortune strikes. I really envy her for being at her own pace even in this kind of situation.

O-Okay (Cry)

As expected, I cannot not accept it. After all, she has already cut it. If you go this far, I can't say no to the Spirit's request I feel like puking.

The strands of hair are as shiny and beautiful as real gold, a little cold and mysterious. The story about it being a rare catalyst for Magic must be true.

But what do you want to do with this? And really, what the hell did the Spirit say to !?

Kruz approaches hastily and asks with a timid look.

Yowaningen Well Do you want my hair too? Desu. (Kruz)

For the ti being, can you tell Astor and the rest to stop with that weird honorific? It is confusing. (Cry)

!? (Kruz)

What are you competing for I don't need it! I an, handing out your hair is so pretty heavy stuff, you know!? For the ti being for the portion I have received Sytry seems to want it, so let's give it to her.

But those looks of expectation, are so unsettling. It wasn't my intention to make the Spirit return to its senses or that I have accepted its request.

The hot gazes of the mbers of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) are piercing all over. The fact that I had done sothing that would cause such a change in attitude just scared . What is the kind of thing that a Spirit, which even with almost everyone from Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) (except Luke) could not defeat, could ask for?

And then, from outside of the crowd of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) mbers, a sowhat displeased voice could be heard. It was Liz's voice.

Cry-chaaaan, I'm properly taking care of her just like you said, so properly look at , k!? It looks like she's gonna regain consciousness soon! (Liz)

Thanks for reading! Good thing Cry told Astor and the others to stop saying desu. If he didn't I wouldn't know when it is Kruz that is talking, lol.
