Chapter 127.2 \n<h1>Chapter 127 Heart Pounding Vacation ⑄ </h1>\n\nIf I had to go through something like this, I would rather be captured as a “Red Hunter (Criminal)”.That was now the common understanding from Black and the others.
I was angry when they put shackles on me. When I found out that I was going to be taken as a coachman to go on a vacation, I was thinking of removing the collar and rebelling if there was an opportunity. But now, all I have is a profound feeling of despair and resignation.
White, Black and Gray have been dealing with Hunters and knights as Red Hunters since a long time. They have been through more than a few battlefields. They can’t remember how many people they have killed and there were also times where they were laughing when they cracked the heads of people who were crying and begging for mercy.However, even from their point of view, the infamous 《Strange Grief》 in the Imperial Capital was insane.
We already don’t have the energy to resist. The battlefields they have been through were too different. Now we can understand why we were captured so easily.
Gray was suddenly thrown out of the carriage and just that had made his exhausted expression seem like he took ten years at once. As for White and Black, although they were better than him ―― They were already at their limits, both physically and mentally, from dealing with the Monsters that were constantly attacking them. Their swords were smeared with blood and greases and had lost their sharpness and had become mere blunt weapons, while their cloaks were soaked with blood that no amount of washing would ever remove the blood and smell.
The next time we find ourselves in a similar situation, someone will undoubtedly die. No ―― It wouldn’t be surprising if all three of us died.
And even if Black and the other three died, the carriage would continue as if nothing had happened. I was convinced of that. For some reason, that makes me extremely afraid.
I knew that 《Infinite Variety》 was a Level 8 Hunter and had resolved many serious incidents.As if to confirm that, the 『Vacation』 that Black and the others were caught up in was like a Shura’s1 journey of breaking through powerful Monsters and problems.
Lightning Spirit. Large number of Orcs gathered to the point of building a fort. On the way to the Garest Mountains, an abnormal number of Monsters attacked us and the worst Monster that indiscriminately attacked all Monsters ―― The 『Lost Giant Demon』 attacked us too. If it was a normal situation, even if they needed to take on only one of them, Black and the others would have chosen to flee.
However, 《Infinite Variety》 and the other Member of his Party, 《Absolute Shadow》, dismissed it as a vacation.\n
Sometimes he avoids the problems, sometimes he pushed it to other Hunters and sometimes he forced his way through. He passed through while laughing at the path Black and the others had opened with the determination to die and without hesitation, he tried to use Gray as a bait.
From his course of action, Black sensed a strong 『Used to it』 from him.
《Absolute Shadow》 and her companions are used to deadly battlefields like those ones. No, they have probably experienced something more deadly than those.That’s why she laughed, that’s why she doesn’t stop. 《Absolute Shadow’s》 certification should have been Level 6, but it was clear that her experience and ability didn’t fall into that category.
" "
There was no way we could compete with them. Their power, experience, determination and even malice were so far apart from us that it is hard to imagine it from their appearance.
No matter how many times I imagine it, I can’t get an image of us winning against them. There is no way out of this despair. The only ray of light is ―― To end everything with our own death.But will that woman, the woman who put the collars on Black and the others, the woman who always smiles and shows no remorse or fragment of guilt towards Black and the others, allow such salvation for us?
Hugging my knees, I complain in a small voice and ruminate as if to escape from the reality. And at that time, a voice suddenly called out from behind Black.
“Anooo2

 Are you alright?”
“Hih!?”
I involuntarily let out a small scream as my dazed consciousness was called. White, who had been lying dead up until now, and Gray, who I wasn’t sure if he was awake or not, jumped up as if they had been called by the god of death.
A powerless voice. An undignified voice. This voice is, the most terrifying one.\nCry Andrich. 《Infinite Variety》. 《Strange Grief’s (The Lamenting Ghost)》 Leader and the man who 《Absolute Shadow》 and 《The Worst of the Worst》 are fully obeying to.
He was also the only one whose strength wasn’t demonstrated during this vacation trip.
From his appearance, you can’t see that he is strong. His body is weak and untrained for a Hunter, and he doesn’t have an aura of supremacy coating him, something which is peculiar to those who have absorbed large amounts of Mana Material.He was unarmed and his appearance only showed openings. If I had seen him in a town, I would have dismissed him as a mere civilian who isn’t making a living through fighting.
 
But that is why he was so terrifying.
His black eyes were deeply calm, not screaming in anger like 《Absolute Shadow》, nor smiling no matter what happened like 《The Worst of the Worst》.
Along the way, he was watching us. He was observing us.He didn’t do anything in particular. He didn’t care about his companions when they jumped out in front of a crowd of Monsters, there weren’t any noticeable actions or emotional changes in him. He was such an ordinary man.
However, it was unmistakably this man who is deciding on the destination of this vacation.
《Absolute Shadow》 and 《The Worst of the Worst》 are this man’s mistress. When they talked to him, the expression on their face had a glossiness in it and every one of their actions showed that they were trying to not be disliked by him.
I remember the expression in the beginning when they almost got rid of us before we could do anything. He was the boss of those two, there was no need to think about what would happen if we were to go against him.
\n《Infinite Variety》 saw the expression on Black and the others’ faces and relaxed his shoulders as if he was relieved.
As if it was waiting for this ―― My field of vision suddenly turned white and a roar echoed in the distance.
