Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 70，Part2: 2 - Relic ②

Chapter70，Part2: 2 - Relic ② Chapter 70 Relic ② Part 2

“You haven’t been bullied by “Severed Shadow”? Did Cry asks you so overwhelmingly unreasonable request? Be careful when you get into the party of the kid, they don’t know what it is to hold back.”

“Every, everything is fine. I am doing fine for now.”

“If sothing happens, rember to depend on your companion. So people have a broken personality, but “Footprint” is huge. There won’t be a shortage of people to ask for help. …Even Cry, well, he may be useful depending on the cases. Sohow, he is the Hunter who advanced his Level the most these last few years.”

“Ye, yes.”

While doting on Tino, Martis-san is talking in a worrying voice to her. Tino who is cold to outsider is unusually trouble with him. Question is, where does he stands in all this?

And in so cases, what does it an for ? I am useful when… only when Tino is entangled with Liz or Sytry.

Tino says as if to reminds it to herself.

“I already know it. Master is a wonderful person. He has a lot of debt, but he is still a wonderful person. Compared to Master I am just… Dust crap…”

“!? Oi, Cry! You, what are you teaching to Jo-chan.”

I am sitting and as I am fishing through the box, a hand was on my shoulder. At that mont when I was about to get yell at because of misrepresenting rumor about a piece of Relics cos into my sight.

It looks like a mask with an unusual texture.

A flat surface with holes only on the position of the eyes and the mouth.

The texture is close to raw at. I touch it with my fingertips. it feels soft and moist. When lifting it, I feel an uncomfortable weight on it. Although it is cold, it will be close to human body heat if you filled it with magic power and activate it.

My hands which are lifting it are shaking.

A Fleshed Mask. It is familiar to a Relics I possessed.

The shape and the size are a little different but there is probably no others Relic with such a creepy feature.

『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』.

Its reputation among my friends were the worse and finally the Relic had been destroyed by Liz, but here it was.

“?? Oi, Cry. What happened?”

Martis-san peeks at and I turn my face.

… I want it. I really want it.

『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』 is a Relic that let the wearer freely change his face.

Not only it doesn’t stand out, it can even change your hairstyle at will. If you get used to it, not only it can change your face but also your body shape, it is a convenient fleshed mask.

If I have this, I will be free of criminals and Hunters who want to try to make a na for themselves by fighting a High-Level Hunter. I could finally walk while holding my heads up. I can freely change and beco an Iken or a Bishoujo.

Last ti I coincidentally found one. I thought I would never get one again when it was destroyed.

Even if soone find it in a Shrine, only a few people will bring a Relic so creepy back at ho with them. Furthermore, there is no one who would remotely think of wearing this.

“… It is a Relics brought from the outside. It is yet identified but it is not sothing good.”

Martis-san says this with a stern look. Tino looks at the mask and lose her expression for a second.

… I want it. I really want it.

It is certainly not sothing good. Of course, if you use this Relics well, it can change your face but also your body shape and even fingerprint, it can be perfect for cris.

Zebrudia’s law prohibit its use but it is not illegal if you just own it. It is not illegal if no one sees using it.

How much is it? How much do you need? The last ti I got one was when “Strange Grief” crushed a large group of bandits. It was mixed in with the loot we got.

It was not a product I purchased so I can’t predict the price but considering the rarity and its performance… It can easily exceed Ten Million Gils.

… I want it. I really want it. If I don’t get it now, I will never get it again.

I desperately fire my brain cells.

How much is it? How much should I collect? I will do a dogeza to Eva, I will also do a dogeza to Sytry. Now that I am doing it, I will also do a dogeza to Liz.

Are you ready for this? I am ready for this. Will you marry ?

The appraisal of the Relic Tino found is already out of my head.

I can even exchange this with the best Relic I have in my collection. This 『Reverse Face (Facial Transformation) 』 is worth this much.

I raise my face and look at Martis-san. Martis-san who is always keeping a strict attitude toward is sweating profusely and takes a step back.

The only thing to do right now is to negotiate before it is being auctioned.

If he put it in the auction, I will have to compete and bid with other nobles and Hunter. If that happens, it will depend on luck if I obtain it or not. There is also a high possibility that it will be expensive.

Before he actioned it, I will negotiate and get it. It isn’t sothing to be praise for, but it is a common technique in auctions.

I have a high status. I didn’t get it by myself, but I have credibility. Now is not a case where I can choose my ans. I have to absolutely get it.

I slowly take a deep breath to calm down and ask Martis-san.

“Whatever happen, I really want this Relic. I want to … Negotiate with the Hunter who have requested an appraisal for this item. Can you contact him for ?”

“!? O, Oi, are you sane? It hasn’t been appraised yet!?”

I am sane. It is certainly a creepy Relic. It is a Relic that is uncomfortable even when you activate it. Only the person who have tried it can understand the feeling of raw at attaching to your face and eating your whole body.

But I want it. The cheaper, the better. With this, I can go visiting sweet shop by myself, without any escort.

“… Tsk. It looks like you are serious… You Relics Freak. Business is up. … Aaah, I understand, I will talk with the custor. Jo-chan, Jo-chan, don’t beco sothing like him.”

Seemingly in a bad mood, Martis-san says this. As usual, he have a foul mouth but he is a Jii-san that takes good care of us.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading.

Cry you want that mask just to go eat sweets? I though it was to evade people who want to get you but no it was in fact for your stomach. XD

It also looks like Martis don’t know that you are soone without any ability. In fact, every ti you say that soone knows that you are weak it is in fact wrong. XD

Tchao à plus!

Iken: Pretty boy or good-looking man.

Bishoujo: Sa as iken but for girl, pretty girl or beautiful woman.
