Chapter 106 Fun Vacation?
Part 2
It is a vacation for you to enjoy yourself, but if it makes you look like this, then I would have reversed my priorities.
“………… Well, wellll, if there is no way you can stand it anymore, then let’s say that it is fine to do it……”
“!! Cry-chan, so kindー!”
“…… Indeed. Aside from Onee-chan and me, it may be a little bit too tough for Ti-chan.”
“Thank you very much, Master……”
For some reason, they were thanking me. When I saw Liz who had a big smile, Tino who had tears on the edge of her eyes and Sytry who was seriously looking at me, I felt like I didn’t care about saying anything anymore. It was one of my bad habits.
However, if I back down now, nothing will change.
I closed my eyes for a while and renewed my determination.
“Next ―― Prohibition on violence.”
“!? Cry-chan, lightly, you know, is kicking really lightlyyy considered as violence? What about punishing people who underestimated you? Is it violence when I hit Ti when I am training her?”
“Does self-defense count as violence? For example, what about the use of your authority to annihilate your opponent’s strength? What about administering potion?”
“Master’s trial is…… Well…… Rather than violent, it is just painful……”
Everything was no good. It is meaningless if I take half measures and allow them to do it and it is unlikely that your punch will be useful during this time’s vacation.
And then Tino’s words stabbed me deeply into my heart. No matter what, I have to restore my prestige as her Master.
“And last but most important one is ―― To enjoy your vacation.”
Even though the original circumstances made me run away, we were now outside the Imperial Capital. We ought to have some fun.
If we picked up Luke and the others at the same time, then there was no need to worry about my escort. It has been a long time since all the members of Strange Grief went outside, and although troublesome things may happen, I am sure that it will become a fun trip.
To my words, Liz and Sytry smiled like blooming flowers but Tino looked somewhat uneasy.

The timing must have been really bad as there was no sign of the rain ever stopping.
In any case, we arrived at the first town after a few hours. We had reached 【Ellan】. It was a town that was much smaller in scale and population compared to the Imperial Capital, it was a town that acts like a relay point between cities.
Even if I said that, usually it should be quite animated and crowded with merchants and Hunters, but maybe because it was raining all this time, there was almost no one.
For the first time in a few hours, I went down from the carriage and enjoyed the ground while stretching my numbbed limbs and body.
Despite being daytime, the sky was dark and thick clouds were still hiding the sun.
“However, the weather is really awful……”
Even though it wasn’t the rainy season, to think that there was so much rain…… I was not saying that it was ominous but it seems that the three people hired by Sytry were really tired as they had to drive all the time in the middle of the rain.
Sytry who was unpacking said.
“Cry-san, did you notice? We were on the tailwind the whole time.”
I don’t understand what you wanted to say. It is ordinary impossible to think that we were on the tailwind all the time but who cared about where the wind was blowing.
“? Aaah, we were lucky, right.”
For the time being, the horses and my body were cold and tired. Do we stay overnight to rest our body? As initially, it was a trip without any schedule.
When I was leisurely thinking about such a thing, Liz clapped her hand and said while being extremely happy.
“Aaah, I was thinking the same thing as well. For the rain to never stop after such a long time…… I was absolutely sure that the storm was following us.”
!? ………… Did I do something bad?
I saw Liz laughing now that the wind had stopped, for the time being, I decided to think about today’s dinner.

“Tsk, we were too unlucky…… So there is such weather even in Zebrudia too.”
It was an awful weather. Sudden storms and thunderstorms happened in the Mist Country as it was the rainy season all year long ―― This weather reminds Arnold and the others of the climate in their old base in Nebranubes.
When Hay said that, the other members in the carriage nod and agree.
A jet-dark curtain of clouds was always a sinister symbol in books. An adult 『Thunder Dragon』 had once attacked the Mist Country when the country was hit by a storm like that. Our preliminary research had shown that Thunder Dragons rarely come out in Zebrudia but if this storm was caused by a Monster, then it must be a Thunder Dragon class creature.
“The rain won’t last for a month like in 【Nebranubes】. It may be better to head back for now.”
Including Arnold, the eight of them were ―― split in two carriages.
Considering their weapons and items, it was quite tight to fit everything in one carriage. The more people there were in a Party means the more strength in the Party but at the same time it meant that their footwork will be slower.
Arnold, who was in the carriage at the front put his arm together when he heard Hay and immediately answered him.
“Did 『Infinite Variety』 back down in front of the storm? There was no sign of him returning to the Imperial Capital. We continue.”
Storms should be avoided if possible but a contrario, they were only that hard.
It wasn’t enough for Arnold, who had repeatedly marched in the rain, storm and fog and had countless battles in such bad weather, to stand down.
“…… Indeed…… On the contrary, we may be on a tailwind. No matter how high their Levels are, they are Hunters from the Imperial Capital, they shouldn’t be used to fighting in the mist.”
The other members agree on that. There was a certain pride in their expression.
The two carriage drive through the empty highway with large splashes.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
All your pride means nothing in front of Strange Grief! They had fought everywhere and even trained with lightning, no way that they would be afraid of fighting in the middle of the storm (Except Cry XD).
Tchao à plus!
