Chapter 133.2

Chapter 133.2 \n<h1>Chapter 133 Smiling Vacation</h1>\n\nBecause I haven’t received the request form and in the first place I haven’t decided to accept the request yet. Rather, I decided to not accept it.I am not going to take it. I’m definitely not going to take it. I am sorry for Ruda, but she should quickly go home. A nomination request from a family of warrior noblemen is, after all, something that is, of course, no good at all.

Contrary to Liz’s sparkling eyes, as if Sytry was convinced, she smoothly continued the story.

“I understand. Then let’s avoid Gladys’ territory. Although there is a small town nearby, it is famous for its Onsen. It would be just outside of Gladys’ jurisdiction, though ――” (Sytry)

Sytry spread the map and pointed at it. Just as she said, the place she pointed at wasn’t in Gladys’ territory, but it was quite close.You can’t do anything if you worry too much, huh. I guess I should accept it as it isn’t inside his territory.

If they find out, I just have to make it clear to them that I wouldn’t take the request.

“Do they have mixed baths?” (Liz)

“Mooooh, Onee-chan! Nowadays, there isn’t such a thing as an Onsen with a mixed bath!” (Sytry)

“Fuuuun… Well that’s fine though.” (Liz)

I am sorry for Luke and the others, but if it is a good place, then next time, we can take Luke and the other Clan Members with us.Right, let’s release Black-san and his friends after they took a good rest at the Onsen.\n

The carriage advanced while making a *bachabacha* splashing sound. Contrary to the weather outside, I am in a somewhat radiant mood.

I ran as fast as I could on the carpet they put on the hallway. I almost bumped into a maid and a young knight gave me a bitter expression, but just now I will forget about my manner and run while breathing heavily.I arrived at the back of the house, in the study room of the current head of the Gladys House, Van Gladys. As if I was hitting the door, I opened the door with a crushing force, Van Gladys frowned at the appearance of his daughter jumping in.

However, Éclair didn’t have time to pay it any mind and shouted in a loud voice.

“Otou-sama, is it true that you submitted a nomination request to that 《Infinite Variety》!?” (Éclair)

“Éclair…… As the daughter of Gladys House, have some modesty.” (Van)

“Please answer me! Why send it to 《Infinite Variety》?” (Éclair)\n“I don’t have the obligation to answer you…… But as a nobleman, I can’t keep having a debt to a Hunter.” (Van)

His sharp gaze was like telling Éclair that it was her responsibility. As I met his gaze, I bit my lip involuntarily. 

A nomination request from a nobleman is proof of being first-class and also proof of having connections with a nobleman. If it is a request from a nobleman who is famous for hating Hunters, the meaning of the request will be significant. For Hunter, the mere fact of receiving a nomination request from a nobleman has a big meaning.

 

Fame. It is the most valuable thing that a nobleman can pay to a Hunter.Money can be earned by accepting requests from a large company, but it is obvious to everyone that fame isn’t something easy to come by.

Van Gladys was silent for a moment, but continued talking to her daughter who was biting her lips in silence.

“However, right…… It wasn’t as if I wasn’t uninterested in that man. He is a man who went ahead of Rodin House’s son and reached Level 8. It is also a good opportunity to determine what he is capable of.” (Van)

Gladys House has a reputation of hating Hunters, but they don’t prejudice against Hunters.It is just, he has absolute confidence and pride in the Knight Order he trained. Therefore, if there is a Hunter worthy of his respect, then he will be well-valued, and in fact, he is very close to the Rodin House’s Hunters. It is just that it can’t be denied that the bar set to be someone 『Worthy of respect』  is high because of them being nobleman.

“So, do you want that man to subdue the Barrel?” (Éclair)

“………… Who did you hear from?” (Van)

\nFor the first time, Van Gladys frowned a little worriedly at her daughter figure as she shrunk her body and bowed her head.
