Chapter 442.2: Under Suspension
Chapter 442.2: Under Suspension
“There were many people who wanted to join the Clan, ?First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)? as a Party. But they didn’t have any recommendations, so we turned them down.” (Eva)
“Aaah………… You can basically turn them down. I am still suspended after all.” (Cry)
“Also, it seems that there were a few people who wanted to meet the famous ?Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)?.” (Eva)
“……………… I am suspended after all…… If they want to meet me, they need to at least defeat the Clan Members first.” (Cry)
“…… It is not like they are trying to challenge a dojo.” (Eva)
No, people like that are usually Hunters, so they are similar to people challenging dojos…… Needless to say, I will not meet them. Because, you see, I am suspended after all.
The thing I need to think about now is what I am going to do during my suspension. I look at Lucia to check with her.
“………… By the way, what are you going to do, Lucia?” (Cry)
It has been a while since I have Relics on hand, so if Lucia has some free time, it might not be a bad idea to ask her to join me and play around with the Relics I haven’t used recently.
With that intent behind what I said, Lucia blinks her eyes and then says with a thoughtful look on her face.“Actually, Sensei wanted me to look into something, So I took her request……………… I was thinking about doing it.” (Lucia)
Sensei. She is one of the professors at the Magic Academy of Zebrudia, and the professor of the research lab that Lucia is a member of, the ?Immortal (Fumetsu)?, Sage Cluster.
Although it feels like I made her quite angry with the Black World Tree incident, it didn’t seem to have affected Lucia and Sage’s relationship. Well, Lucia is excellent, unlike me, who gets scolded by everyone and anyone……
But Lucia, so you are busy, huh…… Looks like I will have to ask someone like Kruz to recharge my Relics.
As I *un, un* nod, Lucia continues.
“………… It seems that it has been discovered that several students from the Magic Academy have disappeared recently………… Considering the circumstances and the number of students involved, it doesn’t seem like a simple case of kidnapping or anything like that.” (Lucia)
“That’s…… Quite a disturbing story, isn’t it.” (Cry)
The students at the Magic Academy of Zebrudia, the top magical academic institution in Zebrudia Empire, are true elites. Many talented aspiring Magi have gathered there from the surrounding countries, and there should have been quite a few children of nobles as well…… So when so many of them disappeared, it is a wonder that this hasn’t caused a big uproar.
………… Well, it is possible that it has caused a big uproar, but I didn’t know about it.
Liz’s eyes open wide as she looks surprised at what Lucia said.
“Heeh, asking Lucia-chan for help, it must be quite a big deal. After all, despite how she is, that person isn’t the type to mix business with her personal life…… She wouldn’t bring up Lucia-chan in most cases, right?”
“If it looks like it is going to be difficult, we can help you. We can put off checking the loot for later……” (Sytry)
“Lucia, if a swordsman seems to be showing up, don’t hesitate to tell me! It doesn’t have to be a swordsman too!” (Luke)
“Umu, umu……” (Anthem)
The members of ?Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)? work together mainly on hunts. They each handle the requests that are brought to them individually. However, being able to easily help each other out when in trouble can be said to be an advantage of a Party made up of old friends.
Needless to say, I am only getting help.
“Thanks, but I haven’t looked into it thoroughly yet…………” (Lucia)
“Right, right. If anything happens, just let me know. Well, I am suspended tho’!” (Cry)
“………… Why do you look like you are having fun, Leader?” (Lucia)
Says Lucia with a surprised and subtle look on her face. I told her to tell me, but the key point is that I didn’t say I would help her. Lucia can do everything I can do by herself. But I can at least listen to what she has to say.
But everyone sure is all really hard workers.
Liz then seems to regain her composure and asks with a big smile on her face.
“So………… How was Code? Was it fun? It seems like you have withdrawn from the level up exam tho’??” (Liz)
“That’s because…… I did something unnecessary at the end. I feel really sorry for the other two Level 8s who took the exam with me. They forgave me, tho’.” (Cry)
To think that the city would fall if I stabbed it too deeply. With the Key of the Earth, when I stabbed it deeply, everything was resolved smoothly, but this was a too short-sighted action just because it was a similar situation. Kaiser and Saya didn’t say anything about it…… Seriously, just like how they are, they really are good people.
Sytry clasps her hands together and smiles.
“I would love to hear more about it. And about the souvenirs you gave me!” (Sytry)
“Oooh! Cry, so, were there any dangerous swordsmen around? There were, weren’t there? Can’t you do something about it even now? I want to test the results of my training in Yggdra……” (Luke)
“I-already-told-you, like Syt said, there’s no way they’d be there! It’s a city of an Advanced Physical Civilization. Right, Cry-chan?” (Liz)
…… Yup, there was. By the way, even everyone’s fakes and my real self were all there. They even have a new member called Elise, and there is even the story about Ohii-sama and the others. There is no shortage of topics to talk about.
As for how I managed to conquer the Level 9 Exam, it was mostly over while I was sightseeing, so I would be in trouble if they asked me about it in detail??.
I cross my arms, put on a badass smile, and decide to talk about the two Level 8 Hunters who took the exam with me, people I think everyone would be interested in.
Thanks for reading! Here is the extra chapter thanks to Fletch and Anonymous. Still 4 more extra chapter to go. I wonder how Cry is going to describe Kaiser, a Dancer, and Saya, a Sarasara user, XD
