It’d already been over five years since I’d become a treasure hunter, and in that time I’d learned a few things.

One was that this world was teeming with troubles, more so than one could imagine, and unless you trod the line carefully, you could easily get into a crash course for one. And the second was that one’s responsibility or status was directly proportional to the number of troubles there’d be; one trouble would often lead to another, and from there a chain of new troubles.

For me, the latter was particularly a problem. The number 8 in my level and my status as the clan master had dragged me into hellish situations over and over. The fact that I’d been assigned to “carcass-collect” in the White Wolf’s Den and made to investigate it further were all thanks to the responsibility and obligations forced onto me as a clan master and a high-level hunter respectively.

Of course, I am a person utterly incapable of doing anything myself. I just delegated anything assigned to me to someone else. But this time, two such assignments came my way in a row within a short period—and moreover—during the absence of my party.

I had to be careful.

As I was lounging in the clan master’s office after the meeting, trying to unwind from the exhaustion of the conference, Vice Clan Master Eva Renfied came in. Unlike me, she was dressed in First Steps’s uniform, and there was no room for slack in her stride as she walked with a straight back.

“Welcome back. How was the meeting?” she said.

“Ah, thank you. It went without a hitch. I was a mere decoration there though...”

Eva exhaled a relieved sigh as I rolled my shoulders to release the stress in my muscles.

I’d usually ask Eva to help me with handling the aftermath of incidents. This time, though, the fallout was really only trivial. Since there were also other clan members there who could help, I’d told Eva, who was much busier than I was, that she didn’t have to come. But perhaps that concern of mine might have ended up unnecessarily adding to Eva’s mental burden.

In any case, we should be able to consider today’s meeting as an end to the recent string of events.

It felt like a weight had finally been lifted off my shoulders after a long time. While I hadn’t personally exerted much effort myself, the members of the parties under my command could’ve suffered serious injuries because I’d picked them for this quest.

“A decoration? Of course you weren’t; I don’t know what would I’ve done without you there, Krai.” With that, in came Sitri, who’d done a herculean job this time around, carrying a large metal case with her.

With her pinkish-blond hair slightly hanging around her eyes, revealing glimpses of their color between its gaps, Sitri and her older sister, Liz, were like two peas in a pod. Though Sitri’s gentle gaze and ever-present friendly smile gave her a rather distinct impression.

She was graceful and lovable, thoughtful and devoted to knowledge, and valuing diplomacy over brutality.
