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

f she was blaming me.
Does she know that I have a debt to Tino?

“Ah…Uuun… Ehm……”

Tino is staring at me.
What should I say? I can invite you now, but you already have a prior arrangement and being close to Liz and Sytry will make them always be in your mind.

It is at that time that I came up with a good idea.

“… Tino, if you like… Do you want to try participating in the auction as my proxy?”

“……Eh? A proxy?”

Zebrudia Auction has a system called proxy.

As the name suggests, it is a system where someone else take your place to participate in the auction.

’

I am also going to the auction, but I won’t speak out and I will send a signal to Tino and have Tino speaks as my proxy.
It is often used by highest bidders who want to hide his or her identity information.
In this case, it is a well-known fact that I am aiming for the 『Reverse Face』 so it isn’t really useful, but it will help you enjoy the auction.

My suggestion makes Tino eyes go black and white.
Sytry narrows her eyes and make a small nod.

“… I see… It is not bad.
It is unclear how the Ojou-sama will react, but it can confuse her… It may become a good consolation for her.
But is it fine? Cry-san, didn’t you want to bid yourself?”

Indeed, I love auction.
Participating in a heated auction, the catharsis when you get the highest bid for the product you wanted is wonderful but this time, I should give it up to her.

“I have participated many times last year and the year before that.
This year I am all sloppy… Look, Liz.
Don’t look so greedy.”

Perhaps she wanted to act as my proxy, Liz was itching all around me.
No matter how much you are too immature.

Liz replies in a slow voice while staring at Tino.

“……Haiii.
Tsk, Ti, definitely win.”

’

“Y, yes! Please leave it to me, Master, Onee-sama! I will absolutely win the Relic in question!”

Tino strongly holds her fists.
Well, she says to definitely win but even if we lose, it will be because we didn’t have enough money, it won’t be because of Tino’s fault.

On the noble entrance, a carriage approaches.
From the carriage with Gladys coat of arms, a girl in a pure white dress and then an old man wearing butler clothes comes down.
Éclair-jou looked around left and right and when she finds me, she is staring at me with a look that you wouldn’t think it is from someone younger than me.

There was no trace of the stunned expression she showed us at the end of that time negotiation.
Apparently, she has collected more than two hundred million.

Without showing it on her face, Sytry holds my hand tightly.
Looking from the side, her expression seems to remain smiling.
However, I know that there is a deep feeling of anxiety behind that expression.

Is this… Our lost?

Thanks for reading! Oh damn now the showdown will begin! Éclair can bid up to 1 billion but not Cry! How will Cry reverse the situation? Tchao à plus!
