“About that potion you asked me to identify, it’s a potent hangover cure.”

“Huh?”

Arnold was talking with a famous apothecary, well-known even within the imperial capital. The blood rushed to his head and the rest of Falling Fog were abuzz. Sitri Smart had pulled the wool over their eyes. The potion she had charged upwards of one hundred million gild for was a hangover cure. It was, in a sense, a sort of anti-poison, but that was beside the point.

Thinking about it with a cooler head, it did seem improbable that a hunter, no matter how dangerous, would poison another hunter’s meal. She had been mocking them. Arnold considered getting revenge through legal action, but it would be hard to win with just the appraisal results.

However, Arnold decided that didn’t matter. He decided he would put all other plans on hold for the time being. Grieving Souls had invited the wrath of Crashing Lightning. They had wounded his pride. It didn’t matter that Thousand Tricks was of a higher level than Arnold. If he didn’t settle this matter, he would both remain unsatisfied and possibly lose party members.

He would take down Grieving Souls as quickly as he could. He didn’t care about any past promises; he preferred to keep things simple. Arnold looked back on all the misfortune he had run into since arriving at the capital.

At the inn, Liz Smart attacked him without warning and his defeat had been witnessed by other hunters. In a public area, he had been defeated by Thousand Tricks. Sitri had all but extorted him into buying a hangover cure at an exorbitant price. He realized that these schemes had led to Falling Fog’s being at odds with Hidden Curse, a well-known clan— another incident that had been witnessed by many.

What bothered Arnold more than anything was that he hadn’t once been able to display his strength. There was nothing more important for hunters than strength. A weak hunter was worth even less than a hunter prone to stirring up trouble. If he didn’t get an opportunity to show his might, it would be hard for Arnold and Falling Fog to make a living in the capital.

Things weren’t looking good. They were a strong party, but that didn’t change the fact that at this rate they might fall apart.

If they wanted to turn things around, they needed to do something that would make everyone realize what Falling Fog was capable of. At their current rate, Falling Fog was at risk of being belittled not just by high-level hunters and the Explorers Association, but also by low-level hunters and civilians.

They could resort to a more physical means of stopping people from badmouthing them, but that could only go so far. Taking down Grieving Souls would solve their problems in a flash. Arnold had briefly buried the hatchet, but it was Grieving Souls who provoked them. That gave Falling Fog plenty of reason to go after them; they had no obligation to hold back, either.

Grieving Souls had picked a fight and Falling Fog couldn’t just ignore it.
