Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 269.2: Assailant

Golden (Konjiki) crossed her arms and squinted her eyes, but her partner said while trembling.

Aaaaah, thats true I-I knew that, it might not work. B-But, he is not just strong. Aaaah That guy, threw, my, special bomb, at Ga-Gark. Th-There are definitely a few screws, loose in his head. (Mutou)

(Konjiki)

H-H-How are we, w-w-weakling, g-g-going to kill someone even crazier than us! (Mutou)

The bar was silent. Neither the manager wearing all black at the counter nor the other customers said a word. But what he said was right on target.

The strength of an assassin is that he is aware that his actions are culpable from the start.

Therefore, Golden (Konjiki) does not need to be picky about her means to achieve her goal, and as long as her opponent is normal, the advantage is on the Goldens (Konjiki) side. This is true no matter how powerful her target is.

However, what if her opponent had no intention of being picky in the first place?

Golden (Konjiki) clearly understood the meaning behind the fear in Zero Struggles (Mutou) eyes.

W-We are on the same battlefield. Golden (Konjiki

). Th-Th-That guy is standing in the s-same battlefield as us! L-Listen, th-th-that guy, is gonna do it! So-So-Something that even we wont. Th-Th-That guy will kill our friends, acquaintances, and family membersAnd hang them. To-To-To make an example of us! He isnt afraid of crossing the line! (Mutou)

I have no friends. Well, except you. And my family is long gone. (Konjiki)

I-I-I still have, some. (Mutou)

As Golden (Konjiki) narrowed her eyes, Zero Struggle (Mutou) stood up unsteadily and emotionally waved his arms around and shouted. The table *gatari* rattled and the air froze.

Lo-Look! Almost all of those gu-gu-guys who came here with us fu-fu-full of confidence, r-r-ran away! Just after h-h-hearing how the Explorer Assoc. is afraid of Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)  going t-t-too far! (Mutou)

Well, damn. (Konjiki)

IndeedIt is the worst. If information gets out that the Explorer Association which Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) belongs to is afraid of them going too far, then even assassins will run away. Even their allies are afraid of that Partys actions, so there is no reason for their enemies, for Golden (Konjiki) and the others to not be afraid.

Obviously, he is a bad deal. He is a real monster, a monster that is not worth the billion on his head. The only way to avoid retaliation was to eliminate the entire Party, it would be one thing if there is only one of them but there was no way that just two people could take out an entire Party full of people with Aliases. She was going to hire other pawns if the situation warranted it, but they all fled.

When the first shot was fired, hostility began. Retreat here would be extremely dangerous in many ways, but in this case, it might still be better to run away. She couldnt even see the limits of her target yet. Neither bombs nor arrows worked. It is possible that even poisons are ineffective. But above all, it is rare for the smart Zero Struggle (Mutou) to insist so much.

It was a complete waste of time. She couldnt help but sigh with disappointment.

Tsk. Its not cool to give up on a target once youve set your mind to it, but if you insist, I guess weve no choice. Since its decided, lets get the hell out of this country. (Konjiki)

Un. Mo-Mo-Monster hunting, i-is not our, j-job. (Mutou)

The other side is probably waiting for our next attack. They definitely know that the first shot was just to test the water. Even the Divine Strategist would not think that we would immediately switch to escape after such a blatant display of force.

Just as they were thinking this, the store shook violently. It was the sound of something heavy hitting the metal door.

As if in reflexes, the manager stood up and the other customers got into a fighting stance. Zero Struggle (Mutou) groaned and backed up against the wall with a pale expression on his face.

The air trembles. A heavy sound strikes the door again and again. The door is sturdy but it is not designed for people who would come and head-on attack skilled assassins. No, to begin withThere should be very few people who know about this tavern. Where did the information leak from? They looked at the manager, but he was shaking his head.

From behind the door, they could hear a shout. It was the cry of a young woman who seemed to be desperate.

I will not let Master~ become a criminal! (Tino?)

One person huh. Is she a member of Infinite Varietys (Senpen Banka) Clan? We can do it. There is no problem if she is alone. As if to break through such escapist thinking, a man with a bad-boy-sounding voice could be heard outside.

Hey, we know you are here! Surrender, there are fifty of us, we will not hang you, nor will we make an example out of you! (Sven?)Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

Fifty people You say!? Impossible. There are too many. In the first place, unless it is a fairly large clan, there arent even fifty members in it.

It could be a bluff, but it would be dangerous to say so. There are a lot of presences behind the door. Even if there were really only 30 people, it would not make a big difference. To begin with, Golden (Konjiki) and the others were not even equipped for battle. There were guards outside, but they must have been beaten up as well.

There is a back door. (Manager)

The manager says shortly and disappears behind the counter. The door bent and the hinges *gatagata* rattled. It will be breached by force, there was no time to think.

Damn, lets get away! (Konjiki)

She pulled Zero Struggle (Mutou) arm and headed for the back of the counter. Almost at the same time, the thick door, weighing several tens of kilograms, collapsed violently.
