Chapter 61.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunterâs Hero Dream Chapter 61.1 \nClan Master is a difficult position.\n
In the first place, the organizational system called Clan, consists of gathering multiple parties, so the situation tends to be complicated. To me, except âStrange Grief (The Lamenting Ghost)â, I am closer to Clan Members than other party, but we are not friends.
Even if we say it is a Clan, they all have various purposes and organizational system.
While in some Clans, the Masterâs commands are absolute. Whereas in other Clans, there are those who they let their parties operate separately from the Clan. If there are ridiculous Clan who forced lower party to go in the front, then there are also Clan who wants to incorporate a party who work for a noble to get his connection and form a faction.
âFirst Step (Footprint of the Beginning)â is a very general Clan whose purposes are mutual assistance, information exchange and exploration support.
The reason I created this Clan wasnât for wealth or power. So, this is probably why this clan is looser than other Clans.
I have only set up three rules.
Everyone should get along. Donât bother the ordinary people. And democracy.
There are other detailed rules set up by Eva and the others but those are the only major rules.
Initially, âFootprintâ was a clan made by gathering multiple parties of the same rank. So, it was very difficult to choose who was going to be at the top, the Clan Master. Hunters values hierarchy. If there is a big difference in each other certification Level, it will be simple. But everyone would want their party leader to be Master.
âFootprintâ solved this hurdle by giving the Clan Master little authority. The Clan Master of âFootprint of the Beginningâ would be elected by majority and would have no control right over the party belonging to the Clan.
In short, when the Clan Members are mostly listening to my requests, it is just them doing me a favor.\n
However, my childhood friends doesnât take that truth into consideration.
Contrary to Liz or Luke, Sytry doesnât resort to physical violence but that point doesnât change much.
âIs it going to be okay⌠I wonder if they will leaveâŚâ
âI think it will be all right. Cry-san. Surely one day those people will understand Cry-sanâs kindness.â
In the Clan Master Room. I sit on my chair and recalls what happened in the Lounge. The main culprit, this time, says with her eyes closed.
Why are you saying it as if it was my fault�
I was just thinking of asking a little favor⌠But the way of doing it is too horrible. It wasnât an atmosphere where I could stop them when they started. She has a talent to be an agitator. It is difficult to beat Sytry in a word fight. I have always been beaten since a long time ago.
âUn, un, you are right? ⌠But I wanted to make it a little bit easier for them.â
Peacefully. Easily. Even if they give me a hundred step1 because I am in the Clan Master position, as it is going, I may be stabbed. To my words, Sytry made a dark look.
âYou are, right. As Cry-san says, they were⌠much more useless⌠than we expected. As a Hunter from the same Clan⌠It is very, embarrassing. Even more⌠They dare to blame their own weakness on my potion!!â
Somehow coming with us, Tino casually enters the Clan Master Room which is off limits. She opens her eyes and look at me as if she was distraught.\nI didnât say⌠I didnât say it, I didnât even think about it. Rather than weak, it is not a word uses to describe the âFootprint of the Beginningâ which is known as a rising star.
âIn the first place! If you were screaming with just that⌠What about Lucia-chan!! Every day, no matter where, she charges with a smile⌠Thinking that Lucia-chan was in fact forced to do so⌠Is so pitiful⌠UuuhâŚâ
Sytry further shout in a trembling voice. She bits her lips and her eyes start to be filled with tears. She is like a tragic heroine. This is some excessive acting.
When she hit my weak spot, I decide to shut my mouth. I donât really remember doing this. If I say that, I will probably pour more oil in the fire.
Tinoâs line of sight go down one more step, it is as if she isnât being looked as a person. It was a bad case of misunderstanding.
⌠Sytry isnât telling a lie but there are times when her expressions are overkill.
âFor the time being, letâs stop with that topic.â
âWell, you are right. I obtain some good data⌠Letâs think about what to do for the remaining Relics.â
Sytry quickly stops her fake cry and wipes her tears and starts to think about the next thing to do. On the contrary, Tinoâs expression cramps up.
I am used to it so I donât think about it anymore but Tino may have been really lucky that Sytry didnât become her Teacher.
âWell, well, I have a little more extra room now with those ăSafe Ring (Barrier Finger) ă. So, I wonder if we should wait for Lucia to come backâŚ\n\nIt might be because she is a Hunter, but I donât want to see my Kouhai3 pukingâŚ
With a terrified footstep, Tino walks to Sytry, as she approaches my desk, she opens both of her hands and cries with teary eyes.
âI, I am also, a Hunter too, Master! I donât have magic power but what you need is, mental strength then⌠I can endure it!â
I think it is probably not possible. I heard that the taste of magic medicine is difficult to describe. The Mages who should be used to it are like that. No matter how often you are treated by Liz and has an unusual mental power, there must be a limit.
âNo, I am happy for your feeling, but you donât have to do it. It is not Tinoâs job.â
âNo wayâŚ, please let me do it! Master! I can do it too!â
âEeeh!?â
Thank you for reading. More Clan explanation in the beginning So Cry really unknowingly forced his sister to do that magic charge and he plans to keep doing it. XD And Tino really loves Cry to do all that despite knowing how she will end up, respect. Ok, Tchao Ă plus!
1. Give a hundred step: It means the members will ignore his action because he is the Clan Master. But there is still a limit.
2. Ano: similar to English âerâ or âummâ, said when hesitating in speech. From wikitionary.
