Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ - Chapter 366.2: Masked God ⑤

This is bad. I know this from experience. This guy is pretty pissed. The pressure that has vanished is the calm before the storm. His shoulders are *purupuru* shaking――It seems I have forgotten something very important.

No, not yet. I cannot give up yet. I certainly don’t remember anything. His impact is so strong that I doubt that I am mistaking him for someone I don’t remember or has mistaken him…… But I guess it is not a case of him mistaking me for someone else. After all, he named me.

However, my mistake should be recoverable.

I take a deep breath and fearfully say.

“May-Maybe…… If you tell me, I might remember.” (Cry)

“Im-Impossible………… I poured it directly into your brain, you know? I have never done that much to one of my followers before. Sure, Sure………… The reception was, incredibly weak, but………… You don’t remember the contract, you say?! What, an idiot! Are you, still a herooo?!” (Keller)

“………… I don’t remember ever saying I am a hero.” (Cry)

Contract? Directly poured into my brain? That is some messed up talk, but a contract is not something that is made verbally in the first place. At least in my Clan, we have to put contracts in writing. Well…… That is because I tend to forget things so easily.

The floor *gatagata* rattles――The entire collapsed house is trembling, as if it is receiving the rage of the mysterious kid.

Who the hell can he be?

However, things cannot continue like this. I need to come up with an alternative. I don’t know what kind of contract I made with that mysterious kid, but I have no intention of ignoring a contract I made.

I clear my throat, lift the smartphone I am holding and say.

“It-It is okay. I am sorry I don’t remember, but we can just make a new contract again. Right?” (Cry)

Smartphones have a recording function, so if I use it, I will never forget a contract I have signed, normally.

The rain is pouring and there are strong winds. There are also occasional flashes of lightning. It is no exaggeration to say that the weather is already stormy. A tremendous roar and light shake my brain. Apparently, it seems that lightning had struck nearby.

The mysterious kid moves his fingers with a gnawing motion. The smartphone in my hand suddenly slips out of my hand due to the sudden force. The smartphone glides through the air and ends up in the mysterious kid’s hand.

The crushing, intense pressure is back. I don’t even notice the wind and rain anymore. The world trembles due to his anger. The mysterious kid clutches my smartphone tightly and speaks as if he is spitting.

“Enough. If you don’t remember――I have no intention, of making a contract with you ever again!” (Keller)

No way――Why!?

Before he can argue, the mysterious kid shouts.

“In fact, I feel refreshed! I am sick of having to deal with people like you! This is nothing but a mockery! Do you know how much power I, Keller, have used for you? To think you are the reason I tried to revive myself earlier, even to the point of consuming my own temple! Shame on me! This is too much!” (Keller)

“Hh!! Ah…… Aaaah………… So, you are, Keller, huh……” (Cry)

“Ah…… Ah………… Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” (Keller)

Keller. That is the name of the god that exists in the deepest part of the 【Temple of Origin】. As expected, even I remember it. I see, just because I didn’t notice it, it seems that Yggdra’s incident hasn’t been settled yet. But whyyy…… I thought they said we succeeded in weakening the Treasure Shrine, right?

That means that the game of tag wasn’t really a game of tag after all…… I didn’t notice because it wasn’t that much different from their usual tag.

There is no way I can handle the Phantom of a god. I can understand what he is saying, but I have already made him pretty angry.

“Ca-Calm down, Keller. Look, I apologize…… Ri-Right! Um, if you are okay and forgive me, I will give you that smarpho………… The smart-smartphon………… No, never mind.” (Cry)

“Don’t say anything anymore. Just the sound of your voice is enough to make my skin crawl!!” (Keller)

“D-don’t be so angry! In the first place, you said you poured it directly into my brain, but are you sure?! Did I even say that I would make a contract with you!?” (Cry)

“You said iiiiiit!!!!!!” (Keller)

Keller is furious and is clutching my smartphone. His expression is obscured by the mask, but his voice and the glint in his eyes indicate his fury.

The space in front of Keller’s eyes is distorted. The air swirls around, engulfing a raging wind and rain. I don’t really know what is going on, but he is going to attack.

I take a deep breath and give a badass smile. I have no choice but to take the attack. I have to bet that by taking Keller’s attack, it would cool him off a bit and help him regain his composure. I still have Barrier Rings, so I can take a few hits.

“It can’t be helped, I will let you hit me once. But we will talk it over again after that. It is just a small misunderstanding. And also, give me back my smartphone.” (Cry)

“Hmph…… Kuku………… You are saying something interesting! Did you really think I would say something like that! I am not going to listen to you anymore!!” (Keller)

Kuh………… So it is no good. Even if he is willing to listen to me, the chances of the negotiations being successful would be pretty low.

Even though at the 【Lost Inn】 everything had somehow worked out before I knew it…… So this is a true Phantom of a god, huh――.

Before he can think of a new plan, Keller raises his arm, strongly swings it and suddenly the air distortion turns into a sharp spear. It is not fire or lightning, it is a spear made of a mysterious power. I can’t even imagine what would happen if I touched it. Well, it probably won’t penetrate the Barrier Rings, also without the Barrier Rings I would die no matter what attack I received, so to me it is not much different from a normal attack, you know――.

Just to be safe, I lower my body and take a stance. But it is just for show. I have no chance of dodging it. I would rather take it with dignity than fall down and waste a Barrier Ring while trying to dodge.

I hold my breath, waiting for the attack to come. And it is at that moment it happened.

My field of vision is filled with light and the ground explodes. Lightning has struck. If that had been all, I would have dismissed it as bad luck, but this time it isn’t the end of it. Before my brain can process the situation, a voice comes from directly in front of me, a voice different from Keller’s, but it sounds just as angry as his.

“I can’t, take it anymore. Give me back my smartphone.” (???)

When my vision is back, I see a mask that is different from Keller’s. A white fox mask. A white kimono, and white hair. It has been a long time since I last saw this person, a kin of a god different from the one enshrined in the 【Temple of Origin】.

I quickly raise my voice.

“ …… It is not safe over there you know?” (Cry)

“Hh!?” (Imouto Kitsune)

Keller is about to launch an attack. It is the worst timing. The Imouto Kitsune looks behind her in a panic. And then, a torrent of unidentified power swallows me along with the Imouto Kitsune who has suddenly appeared.

Thanks for reading! A lot of unfortunate characters this chapter Keller becoming mad crazy because he finds out that he is worth less than a smartphone Imouto Kitsune, who finds herself right in the middle of Keller’s attack even though she is just here to get her smartphone back. And Cry who just wants to play with his smartphone and take a nap
