'Ooohhhhhh, I'm back!



Imperial City Zebuldia. Private quarters in the Clan House.
I did something similar when I came back from Toaizant. With a sense of d j vu, I spun around and fell back onto the familiar bed.

A custom-made bed with just the right amount of rebound catches me softly.

The Emperor's Festival. What was supposed to be just a sightseeing trip ended badly.
My body felt heavy, as if gravity had increased. It's not that there was any real damage here (although there was some rumor damage), but I feel a strong fatigue.

Mentally and physically - I was stared at a lot by Franz, resented by the bad fox, managed to cover up my sister fox, who would have been in big trouble if she had gone out, and finally managed to suppress the key of the earth, which was activated even though I was 90% responsible for it. I should have the right to rest now.

I decided. I'm never going out. I'm not going out of my room for a while, no matter what!
Fortunately, we have everything here. You can have your meals brought to you. There's a bathroom. There are plenty of tools to polish.

The Empire will be negotiating with neighboring countries and working together to eradicate the fox. It seems that the treasure hunters who gathered here have received a request.
I was also asked to help, but I firmly refused. Mr. Gark and the others stared at me, but who cares, I have other things to do!

He declared with firm determination to Eva, who was standing near the entrance of the room with a dumbfounded look on her face.


'Eva! I'm not allowed to see you for a while! If the country, the merchants, or Mr. Gark send me any requests, turn them away! I've got other things to do!

'Yes, ......, what do you have to do?

'Doing nothing.

'Is that a ............ philosophy?


It's not philosophy. It's just that my brain needs a rest. Well, it's highly doubtful that you're using it to the point of exhaustion. .......

Twist your heavy body on the bed, stretch your back as much as you can and relax your body.
As a clan master and a level 8, I should avoid showing my pathetic appearance in front of everyone, but I'm fine with Eva.


Oh, no. The repercussions of the Martial Arts Festival are eating away at me. I want to become one with the bed right now.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

'...... I understand. I'd like to decline for the time being. ............ What will you do if Luke and the others come?'

'Luke? You can let Luke and the others through.

I mean, they're going to come in on their own anyway,......, and there's no way to reject them when they break in.

I've even been pushed by Luke and his team to become a dangerous hunter, even now! I'm used to being swept along.


I'm used to being swept along. I'm rolling around, rejuvenating myself, when I suddenly notice a piece of paper on the side table right next to my bed.

He stretches out his arm and picks it up. It was a very old piece of paper, folded in half. There was nothing like this before the Martial Emperor Festival.

He checks the words written inside and frowns.


'What's that ...... 'Koo, I can't find it',......'?

'? Is it a letter? Did someone enter this place while I was away...?''

Eva's eyes widened and she closed in. She puts down a simple letter and rolls over.

'No, this is fine. I see. ...... hmmm ......'

'What's that? What's that?'


That's, of course, ...... Eliza's leaving letter. Koo is a sort of nickname for me.


Eliza Beck is the only external member of the Ghosts of Sorrows, and is the most fast-paced spirit person in the party.
Her role is that of a thief. Her nickname is "Lost". She has a temperament that is far too generous (or rough) to be considered a spirit person, and she is very skilled, but as her name suggests, she has a troubling tendency to wander from place to place at will as the wind blows.

I, the party leader and the one who recommended her to the party, have seen Eliza only a few times.
The most troubling thing is that she is not aware that she is wandering at all. The wording of the letter also suggests this, but I have never tried to exclude Eliza from anything I do.

It's not that you can't find me, it's that you're gone. .......


Well, maybe you have to be that sketchy to make it in the Ghosts of Sorrows, where you can do whatever you want.


But what is Eliza ...... doing and where is she doing it? I've heard that she meets with Luke and others to a certain extent, but Eliza is a rather rare character in my mind.
She doesn't seem to be hiding, and she doesn't seem to be disliked, but something about her timing just doesn't fit.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. ......


Now, although there was only one word in the letter, I have an idea why Eliza entered the room while I was away.

As you sit up, you look around the room and find a box at the foot of the side table. It was a rude wooden box.

He struggles to move the heavy box and opens the lid to find a large amount of unfamiliar junk inside.
Worn out old boots, rusty coins. Bladeless knives and simple metal rings. All of these seemingly worthless items were treasures from the treasure house. Perhaps Eliza had found them in her wanderings. Some of them may have been sold in stores, but that is not important.


It is said that the desert spirits originally loved the earth and had a tendency to travel the world. While forest spirits are known for never leaving the forest, desert spirits are said to be travelers, though not as much as Eliza.

The Desert Nobles are natural hunters, and have traveled to many magical places with their excellent magical qualities, affinity with spirits, flexible bodies, and keen intuition. Even today, there are many natural areas in the world that are untouched by human hands, and the areas they enter include many treasured temples.

It was in a treasure house in the desert that I first met Eliza.

Eliza is a skilled, sketchy, intuitive, and genuine hunter, and - she's not very greedy.
Eliza Beck's goal is to enter the treasure house itself, and she has little interest in the treasure inside or the drop of the illusion she has defeated. Of course, she needed money for her wandering, so she picked up things that seemed valuable, but most of them were left unattended.

I was the one who put a stop to it. It would be too much of a waste to go into the dangerous treasure hall and not bring back the treasure after finding it.
Even though most of the treasures found in the treasure house are trash, they can be worth a good amount of money if you collect enough of them.

Thus, a pact was made between me and Eliza.

Eliza brings back the treasures, and I sell them and give the profits to Eliza. I don't take any commissions, but I promise to get them if I find the treasure I want in the results of the war. It's a deal where no one loses anything.



The results of your party activities are managed by Citri, so you can only bring in the results of your solo activities, but as the number of times you work together increases, so does the amount.


The incident at the Martial Arts Festival was a good experience for me.
There was a terrible treasure trove that could cause a widespread earthquake just by sticking it into the ground. As a collector of treasures, I will have to accumulate more knowledge of treasures. The key of the earth has been broken, but it does not mean that there is no similar treasure trove.

I need to practice so that I can stop the Key of Earth the next time it activates.

As he was rifling through the contents, he discovered a long, thin object wrapped in a black cloth among the pile of junk.
I quickly picked it up and unwrapped the cloth, which had strange patterns on it.

Oh, this is a ...... sword-shaped treasure trove! That's unusual.

'This is it. This is what I've been looking for!

He lifted the sword in its scabbard with great enthusiasm and observed it. The hilt is adorned with a black jewel, and it looks like a sword with a story behind it. However, it does not look like a ritual sword like the Key of the Earth.

The fact that it was sheathed and carefully wrapped in cloth suggests that Eliza was taking good care of it.

I'll ask Lucia to charge it later.


'.................. Please be moderate ......'.



I smiled at the daily life that had finally returned, and Eva sighed in exasperation.















'Huh! My brother is wanted by the underworld!

'It looks like he's been completely spotted. ...... The fox is also making a big deal inside the organization, and I don't think he can be bypassed. ......'

Sitri replied with a troubled face to Lucia's absurd voice.

'Well, if you do that much,......, you're probably also the leader of the Ghosts of Sorrows.'

In the past, skilled treasure hunters were often targeted by bandits. In the event that you have a lot of money, you should be able to get it back.

The incident at the Martial Emperor's Festival had calmed down to a certain degree. The collapsed arena has been cleaned up, and at first glance, everyday life seems to have returned.
However, this is only the beginning.

The revelation of the existence of a fearsome secret organization had a great impact on people of all sizes.

Originally, a bounty had been placed on the Ghosts of Sorrows by the people involved in the organization that had crushed it. The reason there hadn't been that many raiders so far was because it wasn't worth it.
The bounty was proof that the treasure hunter had made a name for himself. So, that much was inevitable.

Luke frowned as he looked at the list of names on the back of the wanted list that Sitri had ordered.

'You're really into this. One, ten, a hundred, a thousand............ what do you have to do to put up such a bounty. It doesn't even go up this high if you kill a hundred people. Is there some kind of trick to it?''

'Hmmm......'

'If you work a little harder, you'll be able to pay off your debt. ......'

The amount of money on the handbill was not normal.
Unlike ordinary bounty hunters, the amount of bounty on the wanted list posted in the underworld is proportional to the number of people who have bought grudges and want you to disappear. Most of those with high bounties are influential people, such as important figures of major countries or members of hunter families who have been active for generations, and whose mere death would cause a stir in various circles. It would be unprecedented for a hunter of no particular distinction to be offered such a large bounty for not having killed a single person.

While looking at the bounty list, Liz rolled her eyes.

'Ark-chan's been overtaken.

'As expected of a huge organization,......, there may be a problem with their face,......, but it seems like the organization can't afford it.

According to Citrie's research, the inside of the Fox is very unstable right now. I don't know the details, but it seems there is a civil war going on. Perhaps the activation of the Key of the Earth was unexpected even for the fox. And the organization doesn't realize that it wasn't the foxface that activated the Key of the Earth.

What is important here is not the reality, but how the people around you see you.

We've lost the plot in front of the public. If we let him go, he'll lick us. We can't afford not to put a bounty on him. That's what this huge bounty is all about.

Well, by nature, the Thousand Transformations is an enemy to some.

Fortunately, the list itself is a dark one. We don't have to worry about a famous hunter who is active on the front page attacking us.


'I like ............ cry. I wonder if he'll come.

'With such a large amount of money, I'm sure they won't attack unless they're very confident. ...... Even if they do attack, I'm sure they'll come after they've made all the necessary preparations. ...... Later, I don't think the swordsman will come.'

'Haha...... for doing something crazy......'

A level 8 hunter in the imperial city of Zebrudia, the Senhenhen Banka has been surrounded by various untruthful rumors, but there is only one truth.

He has passed through many death lines and has never suffered a single scratch.


So Citri stood up, clasped his hands together, and said.

'I heard that Mr. Cry won't be leaving his room for a while, so let's keep him under guard for a while. I'm sure you're all busy, so we'll rotate!

'...... Sito, aren't you the busiest one of all? Don't you look pale?

Sitri put her palm to her forehead at her sister's words.
Luke claps his hands together as if remembering, and stands up, looking annoyed.

'I've been absent from an important exam ...... and I don't know what to say to the professor who recommended me .......'

'Mm-hmm.'

'It's good to have an anthem brother. The top doesn't particularly interfere with him. ......'

Ansem nodded vigorously at the envious look on Liz's face.

'............ Mmm!
