Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

ou could say that she is happy-go-lucky), and her skill is reliable, but as her Alias suggest, she had the troubling habit of wandering as she pleases from place to place as the wind blow.

　As the Party Leader and the person who recommended her to the Party, I also saw Eliza quite a few times.
　What is extremely troubling is that she is not really aware that she is wandering.
From what is written in the letter, it also suggests that is the case here, but I have never tried to exclude Eliza from anything I do.

　It is not that you can’t find me, it is that you are gone……

　Well, maybe it is necessary to be that happy-go-lucky in order to be in 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》, a Party that goes here and there doing whatever they likes.

’

　But, Eliza…… Where and what were you doing? She seems to meet Luke and the others to a certain extent, but in my opinion, Eliza is quite a rare character.
　It doesn’t seem like she is hiding from me, and it doesn’t seem like she hates me, but for some reason, our timing just doesn’t match.

　According to Liz, Eliza seems to have a high sense of danger above all else, so that is the reason why it is so hard to meet with each other or something…… What does that mean?

　Now, the letter only says one sentence, but I have an idea as to why Eliza entered the room while I was away.

　When I got up, I looked around the room and discovered a box at the foot of the side table.
It was a rugged wooden box.

　When I moved the heavy box with difficulty and opened the lid, I found a large amount of junk that I did not understand what it was.
　Old worn-out boots and rusty coins.
A bladeless knife and a simple metal ring.
All of these seemingly worthless items were Relics coming from Mister Treasure Shrine.
Perhaps they had been found by Eliza while she was wandering.
Maybe some of them might have been store-bought items, but that was of no importance.

　Initially, it is said that Spirit People of the Desert had a nature that made them love the earth and travel the world.
Spirit People of the Forest are known for never leaving their forests, but Spirit People of the Desert are all travelers, though not as much as Eliza.

　”Spirit People of the Desert (Desert Noble)” are natural-born Hunters who have traveled to many magical lands with their superior magical qualities, affinities for spirits, flexible bodies, and keen intuition.
Even today, there are many uncharted natural areas in the world, and the areas they enter include many Treasure Shrines.

　I also met Eliza at a certain desert Treasure Shrine.

　Eliza is a skilled, happy-go-lucky, intuitive, and genuine Hunter――And isn’t very materialistic.
　Eliza Beck’s goal was to enter the Treasure Shrine in itself, so she showed little interest in the Relics that exist inside or the drops items from the Phantoms she had defeated.
Of course, she needed money to wander around, so she picked up items that looked valuable, but most of the time she left them there.

　I was the one who stopped her from doing that.
She had gone to the trouble of entering a dangerous Treasure Shrine and found Relics, it would be a shame not to bring it back home with her.
　Even though most of the Relics she found in the Treasure Shrines are junk-Relics, they can be worth a good amount of money if you collect enough of them.

’

　Thus, an agreement was made between Eliza and me.

　Eliza brings back the Relics and I sell them and give her the profits.
I don’t take a commission, but she promised that if I find a Relic I want in the loot, I can get it.
It is a contract in which no one loses.

　Sytry manages the loot during their activities as a Party, so the only things she brings to me are those she obtains during her solo activities, but the more times she does it, the more items she gives me.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!
I am baaack! And what a fantastic news I got Strange Grief Light Novel is being officially translated by J-Novel Club.
Normally, we shouldn’t have a bad surprise with them.
Now finger cross that they will make a physical release of it!

We start the 7th Arc with a truckload of information on Eliza, the only member of Strange Grief we never see, nice!
But if she is really sensitive to disaster, I think it is normal that we can’t see her as Cry is a walking disaster XD
Hope we can see her soon!
Tchao à plus!

Footnotes

Here there is no pronoun but it can be “you” or “it”.
But further down seems to make me think that she mean she can’t find Cry. Horo: mean Wanderer or Lost one.
