Chapter 133 Smiling Vacation

Part 2

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.

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)

“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)

“Montor told me.” (éclair)

“………… The only flaw of that man is that he is too sweet on you.” (Van)

Van Gladys sighed as he recalled the appearance of his trusted retainer.

Perhaps he was trying to make her understand the consequences of her misbehavior. Or perhaps he simply thought it was a topic that éclair would like.

Gladys territory has been plagued by a group of bandits lately.

The Barrel bandits.

Cruel and bold. They are a large group of strong and cunning bandits composed of hundreds of people.

They ravaged, attacked various villages and towns in Gladys’ territory which were feared and avoided by all kinds of criminals because of the fame of their Knight Order.

We sent out many subjugation forces with the Knights Order, but all of them ended up failing. It was because of the difference in their footwork. If we attacked with a large number, they would flee and if we attacked with a small number, we would get our table turned. It was a humiliating story for Gladys, who was known for their bravery.

The opponents were as powerful as they were sneaky in their tricks. Even members who were former High-Level Hunters had their table turned. A large bounty was placed on their head, but it hasn’t yielded any result yet.

As a nobleman’s responsibility, he had to attend the auction event, but at this rate, it is possible that even criminals who were avoiding Gladys’ territory up until now might rush in. It was a situation that they couldn’t ignore.

In the near future, we were planning to crush them with Gladys’ full power.

For that case, we intended to ask Ark Rodin for his cooperation, but in a sense, this is a good opportunity.

A joint operation with the Knight Order. Through this, we will be able to measure the power and depth of 《Infinite Variety》.

And if his abilities were real, even the members of the Knight Order, who weren’t very fond of Hunters wouldn’t have any other choice but to recognize his power.

Rodin is, for better or worse, a well-known Hunter in Zebrudia. After all, there are many recruits who look at him with a biased perspective. However, it is different for 《Infinite Variety》.

They have to recognize his power. As a result, it will bring change in Gladys territory which disregard Hunters.

éclair asked fearfully as Van narrowed his eyes.

“And so, Otou-sama. When will 《Infinite Variety》 arrive?” (éclair)

“I had been informed that he had left the Imperial Capital. He will be arriving soon. You too, should forget about your old resentment and prepare to welcome him.” (Van)

“…… Understood.” (éclair)

There are no old resentments. The only thing éclair feels for that man is fear.

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

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Poor éclair, she is traumatized, looks like the cake wasn’t enough to appease her.

And you can keep waiting because he is never gonna set foot in your territory XD

Tchao à plus!
