Chapter 93.1 \n<h1>Chapter 93 Achievement</h1>\n\nâDo you understand? Ti, what I mean by troubled is⊠I feel that way because you lack ability. Whether it is experience or ability that you are lacking, well-trained humans shouldnât get into trouble so easily!â
âYe, yes. Onee-sama. ButâŠâ
âNot but. But, but then! I have already told you many times, right? How many times should I tell you before you understand?â
Her fiery eyes are looking down at Tino as if there were strong flames on it. Tinoâs Shisho, Liz Smart is shorter than Tino, but every single time Tino shrunk in front of her.
The place they are right now is in the living room of Tinoâs house. Lizâs figure of sitting comfortably on the chair and crossing her legs seems to be more overbearing than the house owner.
As a matter of fact, the house Tino rented is also one of the places where Liz use as her base when she stays in the Imperial Capital. This is why there are two sets of beds, chairs and plates even though she lives alone.While Liz jumps over, she takes the palm-sized silver treasure chest I was working on. She moves carefully the silver wire lock-picking tool inserted into the keyhole.On top of the table, there were countless other treasure chests with various type of lock. It was used as practice for a âThief (Tozoku)â to unlock treasure chests.
Unlocking rarely found treasure chests from a Shrines is an important role for Thieves.
Particularly, treasure chests are different from Relics which appear only one at a time. If you find one, there are often multiple items inside, and for Hunters discovering one can be consider as having a lot of luck.And unfortunate stories about Thieves having to carry a heavy treasure chest back because they couldnât open it, is often told as a funny story among Hunters. And for Thieves, that is a very shameful story.
In order to unlock a treasure chest, it is necessary to have lock picking techniques from every corner of the world to open a lock of a treasure chest appearing in a Shrine.
Check the shape and the material of the chest, confirm if there is a trap before opening it and in some case break the chest without trying to open the lock and many more. The job of Thieves require you to make a judgement depending on the situation, it has often more thing to do than a pure vanguard job.\n
A Thief canât do its job by just counting the number of monsters he killed. Tino is afraid of her bloodthirsty Shisho, Liz, but there were many occasions for Tino to learn lock-picking technique with her.
âEvery hardship can be translated as trials. Those who run away from adversity will always remain small fries no matter how long they are Hunters, people grow when they overcome though trials! If you complain, then donât do it from the start!â
Liz throw the treasure chest in her hand on the table.Tino hurriedly catch it and the chest on her hands opens without making a single sound.
âThat scum is having a hard time right now because he was idling around. He should at least be able wipe his own ass!â
Tino thinks she was absolutely right.Lizâs training is rigorous but Tino isnât afraid or dissatisfied of it because she knows that her Shisho is also imposing the same kind of training on herself. It is just that she doesnât show it in front of other people⊠High-Level Hunters isnât something you can become with just talent only.
But then. Tino put the sample of treasure chests on the table and terrifyingly says.
âBut, Onee-sama. Greg isnât a merchant, but a HunterâŠâ
âI donât care. Cry-chanâs advice is telling him to not just polish his hunting skills just because he is a Hunter!â
âNo wayâŠâ
Tino recalls the sight of his acquaintance Hunter whon a few days after winning the Golem, is suffering from various troubles because he took Tinoâs place at the auction. She lowers her gaze.It isnât like she holds special feeling for Greg but as she isnât a coldblooded woman, Tino feels bad for Greg who is suffering instead of her when she should have been on the receiving end of it.
One billion was the highest bid between all the lot that was knocked down on the auction that day. It was probably bad that Greg won while he wasnât representing anyone and participated as an individual, moreover he is just a Mid-Level Hunter. \nÂ
Greg has been plagued by various troubles since he won the bid instead of Tino. He got a lot of loan offer, he was being sought by many dubious people, many merchants proposed him multiple business proposals, and he even got noticed by a lot of nobles.I met Greg by change and his face has lost weight as he wasnât familiar with the trials, he said that he is trying to not go to any place with a lot of people.
Â
Compared to the trials that Tino has experienced so far, the gist of his trial is quite different. Compared to being driven into a corner in a Shrine, there is still less danger for your life but the burden on his mental might be on a higher end.Even so, I think it is as expect of a Hunter with a long background that the information about him acting as a proxy or whose proxy he was, wasnât leaked. Maybe his ability to judge when to run according to the situation is better than Tinoâs.That is also why you can say that he is having a hard time nowâŠ
When I consulted with Shisho when I came back, she responded like that, it was only strict words.When Liz stared at Tino who was at a loss of words, she continues to speak while maintaining her high attitude.
âIn the first place, you can stop being like this, Ti. Right now, Syt is commanding some people to monitor him. Why would you think Cry-chan purposely set up a Mid-Level Hunter as a proxy who isnât even from âFootprintâ?â
ââŠâŠ Eh?â
Tino lost her word when she hears that.
At that time, it was Tinoâs fault as she lacked preparation that Greg who was next to her, had to win the bid for her, it was just a coincidence. At least, Tino didnât expected this to happen.
