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

“Hh!?” (Kryhi)

Maybe because he has good intuition, the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 takes a big step on the side. At the same time, a powerful wind blew.

No, it is not wind. It is――An impact. Sky is the art of manipulating space. Cracks appear in the road and a hole literally appears in one corner of Jin’s army that has surrounded him.

The sound of mercenaries being launched high into the sky and slamming back down to the ground is heard.

“………… Kuubi!? What on earth does that mean!?” (Kryhi)

“I thought that, it was strange. The more I observed him, the more I realized that, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is not the kind of person that “Sword Tail (Kenbi)” would want as a subordinate. Every time I saw his crazy behavior, my doubts turned to certainty.” (Kuubi)

”Sky Tail (Kuubi)” speaks slowly with his palms still facing the sky. I smile.

”Sky Tail (Kuubi)” contacted me yesterday.

The content was about――”Sky Tail’s (Kuubi)” nemesis, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. Apparently, “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” believed that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 was my pawn and that he was sent to the Supreme Martial Arts Festival to drag him down from his position. His basis for this was that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 knew too much about inside information and that his move would only have been possible if someone of considerable rank had been involved, but this is ridiculous. Unlike “Sky Tail (Kuubi)”, I have no interest in schemes.

The shocking truth that the one who was about to activate the Key of the Earth at the Supreme Martial Arts Festival was, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka

It was a ridiculous plan. The spectators, the countries, the organization, everyone has been deceived. Anyone looking at the situation would have thought that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 was preventing the activation of the Key of the Earth. Who could have thought it was the other way around?

And so, “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” and I reconciled.

I vow to tell the truth to the organization, and “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” agrees to put the past behind and cooperate with me. It is a deal that benefits both sides. This must have come as a bolt out of the blue for 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, who has been counting on “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” to fight. However, “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” and I are originally bosses of the same organization, so 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 should know better than anyone that we are the root of all evil.

It is a one-against-four situation. The 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 is instantly put in a difficult position and takes a step back.

“Hh………… No way…… A betrayal…… Now!? 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 …… Is this the 『Infinite Trials』 !?” (Kryhi)

“Is this the time to say that, Kryhi-san!? W-We have to run away……” (Kool)

He lost his final chance when he failed to notice the betrayal and put his trust in 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. His companions who have once been blown away by Kaiser gather in a circle around the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》. However, even if they get ready, everyone except the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 are just rabbles.

Realizing that they have an absolute advantage, Jin’s troops begin yelling “Kill them, kill them!”. The weakest ones sure bark the loudest.

There, I check on something that has been bothering me.

“What about 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 ?” (Kenbi)

“They entered inside via another route. Once I have dealt with this, I will go after him and make him regret underestimating me.” (Kuubi)

Another route…… I haven’t heard about that, you know?

”Sky Tail (Kuubi)” probably didn’t say anything on purpose. He thinks that if he told me, I would try to kill 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》――One of “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” bad habits.

However, I quickly change my mind.

Being able to certainly crush the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 in a single fight is not a bad deal.

This is an overwhelmingly favorable situation. Let’s rip them apart with one swing. Just as I ready my sword, I suddenly remembered that I had received an order from Jin. I give an order to the girl wearing a white mask, who is standing blankly behind me.

“Saaya――No, Saya. Use your powers and kill them.” (Kenbi)

Thanks for reading! Another betrayal! Well this one was more predictable as Kuubi end was either betraying Cry or being toyed by Cry until he regret cooperating with him just like Term and Kecha.
