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

Chapter 339.1: New Strategy ②

There are no absolutes in the profession of Treasure Hunter.

A Hunter's job is a series of encounters with the unknown. If it is a Low-Level Treasure Shrine, it is possible to force through it, but when it comes to a High-Level Treasure Shrine, the power of the Phantoms and the gimmicks in it are no longer something at a level where it can be ignored.

The most needed power for a High-Level Hunter isThe ability to respond to the situation. The true value of a Hunter is tested when they find themselves in an unexpected situation.

In that sense, the people who came to Yggdra this time are definitely first-rate. Even the ideas of violating the Ten Sins can be described as their ability to respond to emergencies such as the manifestation of a god.

But now, in front of the map handed down in Yggdra since ancient times, everyone, including "Princess Serene (Serene-kojo)", is making a difficult expression.

The map centers on the World Tree and describes the vicinity, including Yggdra. When you look at the map, you can clearly see how big the World Tree is.

The strategy Sytry proposed is simple, but there are many hurdles to overcome. Although it is a simple problem, it is one that is difficult to solve.

It is no good. No matter how we assign it, we don't have enough people. (Lapis)

Moreover there is only one Serene-san (Sytry)

Says Sytry as she *chirari* glances at Serene and she raises her eyebrows in trouble.

In the first stage of preparationThe investigation of the earth's veins around the World Tree doesn't have enough members.

Those members must be capable of surviving the attacks of the Legendary Beasts and Magical Beasts that live around the World Tree, where an excessive amount of Mana Materials has accumulated and must have the ability to judge the amount of Mana Materials flowing through the earth's veins.

Leaving aside the former, the only person who possesses the latter skill is Serene, who has special eyes as a member of the Yggdra Royal Family.

Spirit People also have eyes that can see through Magic Power, but when the target is Mana Materials, the story is different. Mana Materials are said to be the source of Magic Power, but they are not Magic Power itself. If you take the time, you might be able to figure out the flow of the power, but in a forest infested with powerful Magical Beasts, you probably won't have the time to do it.

Actually I was wondering if Yggdra didn't already have that kind of information Because Yggdra seems to have better technology regarding Mana Materials. (Sytry)

Serene sighs as she receives a confused look from Sytry.

If it is from 500 years ago We do have those. However, the area around the World Tree has dense earth's veins, so the flow of power changes frequently. (Serene)

The flow of power will change Then we can't spend a lot of time investigating it. (Sytry)

Hmmm Shall I run with you on my back? (Liz)

!? Don't say something crazy like that, desu! In the first place, if Liz ran at full speed, Serene would *barabara* fall apart, desu! (Kruz)

The area around the World Tree is very dangerous. It is a long distance and it is not realistic to run with people on your back. (Eliza)

Everyone had prepared themselves for the trip to Yggdra, but they never imagined something like this would happen.New chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

And of course, Sytry, a renowned Alchemist, probably did not expect it to go this far.

Sytry sighs deeply and says reluctantly.

It may be difficult to investigate all the surrounding areas of the earth's veins. It will take a lot of time, so we may have no choice but to bury the device with a certain amount of guess-work. (Sytry)

What happens if it fails, desu? (Kruz)

Well, there are a lot of possibilitiesBut the worst case scenario is that the speed of Mana Materials accumulating in the World Tree will accelerate or something like that? (Sytry)

Her friends gasp at the words that are spoken so casually. It would be putting the cart before the horse if you try to stop the god's manifestation and end up hastening the process.

The guess-work installation is a last resort solution. Her friends offer opinions one after another.

How about checking it from the sky? Well We have Master's~ flying carpet. (Tino)

Uuumu (Anthem)

It is probably going to be difficult. The forest is all around and the trees are in the way, so we can't see the earth's veins from the sky. (Lapis)

How about we just burn down the forest? (Lucia)

!? Lucia-san, you're j-joking, right, desu (Kruz)

I-I cant believe you would burn down the forest (Serene)

Seeing her suggestion that doesn't involve any strategy, Serene turns her eyes to Lucia as if she is looking at a savage. Lucia's cheeks turn red with shame as she realizes how insane she has sounded when she receives stares from Kruz and the rest of her companions.

Lucia may not be as rational as I, Lapis, thinks. Sytry lets out a small *fuu* breath and says.

In the first place, if we burn down the forest, the Phantoms from the Treasure Shrine might notice our movements and take some kind of action I wouldn't say it is very wise. (Sytry)

Kuh (Lucia)

There were various opinions, but from my point of view, it was not decisive. And this is only the beginning of the operation. It is a difficult operation to begin with. Normally, just walking around the Temple of Origin would be quite dangerous. Although the Phantoms are currently holed up inside the barrier of the Treasure Shrine, they could come out at any time.

This is not a problem that can be solved with just wisdom.

There, Tino raises her hand while *kyorokyoro* looking around.

Umm How about we discuss it again after Master~ comes back? (Tino)

Ti-chan Don't say that now! Besides, pursuing Cry-san's thinking is also a learning experience! (Sytry)

If you rely on Cry-chan all the time, your brain will become dull!! (Liz)

I-I'm sorry, Onee-sama (Tino)

Tino makes herself smaller at Sytry and Liz's reprimand.

The man who shows his true value in situations like this has not returned yet despite saying he would go out for a moment.

After leaving Sytry to do the explanation, he remains silent, and as always, he is a man with mysterious thoughts. Lucia, his Imouto who probably knows the most about Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) frowns and says.

Indeed, this time, Leader has brought more Relics than usual, so he may have a way to deal with this situation. (Lucia)

Yowaningen has strange Relics, desu. Even during the escort request to the Conference, he showed off his strange Relics, desu. (Kruz)

I don't think this problem can be resolved with just Relics, but Hmph. Relic Collector, huh Can he do something by combining multiple Relics? (Lapis)

As far as I know, Relics aren't all that convenient, but if there is any possibility of breaking through the current situation, then that would be what I said.

Thanks for reading! True that Cry took his whole Relic collection with him! Are we finally going to see Cry at his full powaaa!?
