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

Chapter 345.1: Withering One ?

Chapter 345.1: Withering One ?

All I did was to wear the fancy patterned shirt that Cry handed me. The effect it has seems miraculous.

I feel like my field of vision has opened up. The world has changed. My whole body feels lighter, as if I have taken off a heavy armor. No, to be exact, it is not that I am lighter. Maybe this isAll the pressure I felt before is gone.

Perfect Vacation.

According to that human, that shirt is a Relic whose sole purpose is to make its wearer comfortable.

However, the change is too shocking for me.

My worries about the current situation that had always been in the corner of my mind, the stress that had accumulated from dealing with the world crisis without much sleep, all melted away, and it was there that I finally realized how tense I had been lately.

What followed the feeling of comfort that could be described as pleasurable is a strong feeling of sleepiness. It may be that what the Relic provides is comfort and not the effect of eliminating fatigue itself.

If I was the normal me, I would have suppressed those urges and continued working. I must have thought that there was no time to rest in front of the world crisis. However, my thoughts have now changed. Once the pressure is gone, your state of mind will change. My head, which has stopped spinning due to extreme stress, calmly begins to spin.

While I am in a daze, I hear a knock and the door opens. Cry, who enters the room, is amazed when he sees me slumping on a chair.

Oooh, you look quite comfortable. You look like a different person Though I didn't look that different when I first wore it. (Cry)

I was wondering what you were thinking when you gave it to me But now I understand why you gave it to me. (Serene)

It is a Relic worn by humans. I had some conflict about borrowing it, but now I am glad I listened and put it on. The brain does not work properly when you are stressed out. The mind also affects the body. I am sure the irresistible drowsiness is proof that my body is craving sleep.

I don't want to move. I just want to surrender to this peacefulness. I let out a small breath at the sensation I was feeling.

When I wear this Relic Everything seems trivial Even the World Tree's outbursts. (Serene)

Un, un, that's right Eh? (Cry)

Cry looks at me as if he is looking at something strange.

With the help of his Relic, I am freed from all the chains and reach enlightenment.

It is originally presumptuous of us to think we, Spirit People who believe in the flow of nature, live and die together with nature, could stop the World Tree's outbursts that are originally supposed to occur. In the first place, there is no need to feel fear. Since we tried our best and couldn't do anything, we should have resigned ourselves to our fate of destruction. The only thing left for us to do for the next 100 years is to be grateful to the world and live in peace. (Serene)

In the first place, there is nothing a Spirit People can do in front of the laws of the world. Even if we can stop it now, we don't know what will happen next. Miles, the Guardian Spirit of Yggdra, was infected by Mana Materials and went berserk, baring its fangs at me. Maybe that too was God's will.

Hearing what I say, Cry blinks his eyes and tilts his head.

No matter the effect, your opinion has changed too much No, well, it is a story a 100 years from now onWait a minute. Then what about Luke who has been petrified? (Cry)

(Serene)

Say something? (Cry)

I completely forgot about it. Of course, I did my best to lift Luke's petrification, but that was just the process of resolving the World Tree rampage. I take a deep breath of cold air and say comfortingly.

Well, that kind of thing happens when you live for so long. (Serene)

Even though human lifespan isn't as long as Spirit People. (Cry)

I am feeling really sleepy right now. Let's think about it later. (Serene)

It is starting to look like there could be a flaw in that Relic. Even though nothing happens when I am wearing itCan you take it off now? (Cry)

Throw away This Relic, this comfort?

When I hear what he says I open my half-open eyelid and look at Cry very seriously. I have initially received this Relic from Cry. It is natural to return it, but I have only just put it on.

If you can take it off me, just try to take it off then However, if you touch me you will be cursed. (Serene)

The effects of my accumulated stress have not disappeared yet. If the person in front of me had lent me his Relic out of consideration for my health, then he still has not achieved his goal. Cry frowns in confusion as I cling to the chair with such excuses in my head, but as if he has thought of something, he takes out a board from his pocket.

I hear a strange *kechakacha* sound.

? What was that sound? (Serene)

No I was thinking of showing it to Lapis and the others later. (Cry)

What is he talking about? I am a little curious, but I am too lazy to think about it. Right now, I just want to surrender myself to this comfort. I am aware that I am showing a shameful appearance. But, I don't care about the Spirit People's pride anymore. BecauseIt is so comfortable.

Cry *poripori* scratches his cheek and says to me, who leans my whole body on the chair and only gazes at him.

Come to think of it, I was like this when I was first invited to Sytry's house, wasn't I I never thought that the Perfect Vacation had a weakness (Cry)

No This Relic is perfect. I know I will have to return it someday since he lent it to me, but I want to have it as long as possible. It is neither hot nor cold. There is no pain at all, and everything that troubled my mind is shut out, including the effects of the excessive accumulation of Mana Materials that had been tormenting me for a while and the mysterious presence that had been coming from the World Tree. Now, I am sure I will be able to spend a comfortable time inside that Treasure Shrine.

Then at that moment, I suddenly heard a loud sound from far away. A slight tremor hits the room. Judging from the distance of the sound, it must have been inside Yggdra Apparently, something happened. My superior sensory organs, unique to Spirit People, can detect the presence of powerful Magic being used.

There is no sign that Yggdra's barrier has been activated, but could it be an attack from the enemies?

The forest outside Yggdra has turned into a magical realm after Mana Materials has accumulated, but this is the first time that something has penetrated inside Yggdra.

Yggdra's barrier is created using the power from the earth's veins, just like the Divine Tree Path, and is supposed to keep all external enemies at bay. It would be difficult to slip through it without my knowledge (Even if they were to break through by force)Even if they have the power of a god.

Maybe not expecting an attack at this point in time, Cry is also frequently *kyorokyoro* looking around with a fidgety look on his face.

Apparently An unusual situation has occurred. I can't believe Yggdra's barrier has been breached. I have no idea what happened. (Serene)

There is nothing I can do about it. The reason I have been able to maintain Yggdra until now is because of the help of my companions, and even though I am Yggdra's Princess, I am not a Divine Strategist or anything like that, I am still nothing more than a Spirit People.

Isn't that dangerous But it seems like you have plenty of leeway, right? (Cry)

It is because there is no point in worrying about it now. Although if it was me before I wore these clothes, I would have made a big fuss (Serene)

Now that I am free from all stress, there is nothing that can scare me. I am not even afraid of losing this comfort. As I slide off the chair I am clinging to and fall on the floor, Cry sighs and asks me.

Seriously I never expected it to be this bad. So, what do we do? (Cry)

? What do you mean by what do we do? (Serene)

What do you mean by what do you mean Something happened, right? We need to check what happened. (Cry)

Indeed Indeed, the human in front of me is right. I am Yggdra's Princess and the future of Yggdra rests on my shoulders. It is frustrating to be told this by a human who has been swinging everyone around with his unconventional behavior.

I look at Cry with dull eyes while enduring my sleepiness.

Haaah You are right. I don't think I can do anything about it, but I know, human. You do something about it. I will give you full authority over Yggdra. I entrust you all command rights of the people of Yggdra, its surrounding land, and its magic arts and techniques. This is unprecedented in the long history of Yggdra, you know. (Serene)

!??? (Cry)

Thanks for reading! Thanks Faisal for the Ko-fi, I'll see when I can post an extra chapter
