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

Level 8 Hunter. Saya Kuromizu, the 《Little Witch (Yaen Saiden)》.

”Sky Tail (Kuubi)” and I have powers that rival or even surpass those of high-level Hunters, but the power of the girl in front of me is different. It is too alien. My arms…… Won’t move. I cannot, draw my sword.

There is nothing here. At least, as far as I can see. But there is only a presence. A very vague presence, that is.

Then, without even looking at me, her enemy, Saya takes a small breath and speaks for the first time.

“Phew…… That was close. I cannot believe…… I was really able to use my powers in the morning……” (Saya)

“Tsk……” (Kenbi)

But not yet. Saya is not on guard.

I misjudged her. I failed. I should never have let her use her power. I should have killed her immediately. Before she sealed my arm. I never should have listened to Jin’s request. This is――Without a doubt, an ability that would make her one of the bosses in the organization.

However, although her ability is certainly strong, her body is fragile. I have heard the story of when they captured Saya.

A huge piece of rubble the size of a head approaches Saya at high speed, aiming straight for her. At almost the same time, I take off running toward Saya.

My arms still wouldn’t move. It is true that my roots are in swordsmanship, but that doesn’t mean I cannot fight without a sword.

Here――I will finish her off for sure.

As I approach in an instant, Saya reacts for the first time. With her eyes glowing red.

“You――You don’t understand anything. You should have――Killed me straight away. Before I could use my power.” (Saya)

“Hh!?” (Kenbi)

The rubble, which I should have kicked when it was out of her perception, *barabara* breaks into pieces just before it reaches Saya. I hear *sarasara* rustling sounds next to my ears. My body collides with something. My knee kick that would easily kill a person couldn’t reach her small body.

It is then that I finally notice it.

On Saya’s crimson eyes that are directed at me――There is something other than myself reflected there.

Saya sighs softly and says in a whispering voice.

“Kaiser, let’s do some work at least at the end.” (Saya)

Kaiser, who has been waiting for orders, collapses on the spot.

No――There is something pressing him down from above. Countless palms appear on the mask Kaiser is wearing while he looks as if he is being crushed.

“Nice to meet you. I am Saya Kuromizu. Saya, the 《Little Witch (Yaen Saiden)》. And these are――My Sarasara. You can’t see them, can you? I can see them clearly with my own eyes, these children.” (Saya)

It is said that witches get their powers by making a pact with demons. But this isn’t her summoning something.

This is――Demon eyes.

The power to 『Recognize』 and control something hideous that has autonomous thinking!

No, it is not just about controlling them. If she was controlling them, Saya would have followed my orders and killed Kryhi with this Sarasara.

There is only one thing I know at the moment.

With this power, this woman, fought for seven days and seven nights.

To think that such a Level 8 exists――Even if it was a surprise attack, to be able to take on both “Sky Tail (Kuubi

Kaiser’s mask is torn off, freeing his mind.

Kaiser is collapsed on the ground but quickly gets up and clicks his tongue loudly.

“Damn, *yareyare* goodness, I’ve screwed up really badly. I can’t believe that this Kaiser Zigurd couldn’t do anything during the Level 9 Exam. Seriously, without you, it would have been the worst disgrace of my life, Saya-kun. Or maybe…… Is everything going according to 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 plan?” (Kaiser)

Saya says in dismay to Kaiser, who shows no sign of being concerned about this strange situation.

“There is still the cleanup left to do.” (Saya)

In the distance, the sounds of battle can be heard between Jin’s forces and the allied forces of the other members of the Royal Family.

While “Sky Tail (Kuubi)” is being strangled and suspended in the air, he raises his arm and points his palm toward Kaiser. The other troops surrounding him are completely intimidated and useless. I distance myself from Saya and catch my breath.

Kryhi, who has been frozen until now, suddenly becomes enveloped in lightning.

Not yet, the battle is not decided yet.

Kaiser shrugs his shoulders and says with a smile as if he has regained his composure.

“That’s right! Yes, exactly, Saya-kun! This 《Celestial Dancer (Hagun Tenbu)》 has no time to be ashamed of himself! And to tell you the truth――I’m also very good at cleaning up after the war. After all, I’ve been cleaning up the aftermath of the wars of fifteen countries. I’ll leave the main dance to 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, so let me dance at least at the end.” (Kaiser)

And in the darkness deeper than the night, only the *sarasara* rustling sounds can be heard echoing in my ears.

Thanks for reading! Thanks Fletch for the ko-fi! Finally, Kaiser and Saya are free! But Saya’s Sarasara sure is powerful, Kuubi and Kenbi are powerless against it Now Cry just need to take care of Jin and this request will be over
