Chapter 245.5 Tino Shade wants to support them

Part 2

For the time being, I went to talk with members belonging to the same Clan as me and Sven Anger, the 《Storm Attack (Rengeki)》, one of the member of a Party that belong to 《First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)》, opened his eyes and looked at Tino as if I have lost my sanity.

“Haaaaah!? Bet on Cry!? What are you talking about? Are you insane?” (Sven)

“I am not crazy! Sven, if you are a member of 《First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)》, you should cooperate with me!” (Tino)

I *bam* slammed both of my hands down on the table. Tino is Onee-sama’s apprentice, and is a solo――In other words, I am by myself. I am a cool character, but for the first time in a long time, I am trying to persuade him with my passion.

Although not as powerful as 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》, the Party that Sven is leading, 《Iron Cross (Kurogane Juuji)》, is a powerful Party.

In a sense, this Party is the opposite of 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》, they possess a stable track record. So naturally, their assets are incomparable to Tino’s assets.

And once word gets out that 《Iron Cross (Kurogane Juuji)》 has put all their money on the line, it is likely that other Party of Hunters will learn from them and do the same.

The newest Member of 《Iron Cross (Kurogane Juuji)》 who was sitting next to him――Henrick opened his mouth and immediately snarled.

In the first place, Sven was invited by Master~ to come to support him. In a sense, it was natural for him to participate in the betting――Obviously.

Sven said to Tino, who was clenching her fists and puffing out her chest.

“Bet all my money on Cry you say, Tino………… Don’t you think that Cry could lose?” (Sven)

My eyes widened involuntarily at his words, which I had never thought of. I stared at Sven and said as if I was trying to intimidate him.

“!? Are you…… Telling me that you are doubting Master’s~ abilities?” (Tino)

At Tino’s best effort to keep her voice as low as possible, Sven narrowed his eyes and said.

“I do not doubt his abilities. Just his abilities though.” (Sven)

“…………” (Tino)

When Tino went silent, Marietta, a Magi who was sitting next to Sven, said.

“Think this through Tino! Master can――In order to give someone a trial…… Lose on purpose don’t you think?” (Marietta)

In-Indeed――Uh. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Master~ is awesome. He is strong. He is cool. He is graceful. But――He is a trial demon.

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is not driven by honor or money. He always thinks of his friends. And every now and then, he pushes Tino through hellish trials.

How many times have I thought I was going to die――?

“Tino, betting on Cry isn’t the only way to support him. Think deeeply about this.” (Marietta)

Marietta’s expression was one of complete concern for Tino. It was probably because she had seen Tino nearly die so many times before.

But this time, Master~ said he would do his best. And I said in a light-hearted way that I should do my best, too.

I gritted my teeth and glared at Sven.

Then Tino can――Only believe in him.

Rather than doubting my beloved Master~, Tino prefers to blindly follow him.

“No…… I, believe, in Master~. I――I will bet everything on Master~!” (Tino)

“………… Tino, have you…… Ever been rewarded for believing in him?” (Sven)

“I have!!” (Tino)

Tino answered immediately without thinking, to which Henrick, who had remained silent until now, said something horrifying but outrageous.

“But Tino-san, you lent Master money, right? Did he return it to you?” (Henrick)

“Asking you is useless.” (Tino)

This is not a negotiation anymore. I *kururi* turned around and left them.

And the debt is irrelevant now. To begin with, that wasn’t a loan, I gave my money to him! And the money has indeed been given back to me.

……………… By Sytry Onee-sama.

“You should think this through! Tino, Cry must be playing with you again.” (Sven)

Sven’s voice pierced me as it flew from behind me.

Sven is excellent. He also recognizes Master’s~ strength. That’s why his words are so painful. It hurts my heart.

Master~ is gentle. He is gentle. He is gentle towards Tino.

………… Master~, I am ashamed of myself for not being able to make any excuse.

While covering my ears and scolding my broken heart, I decided to look for my next target, the 《Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai)》.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading! And once again thank you Chulbom for the Ko-fi, it is much appreciated!

So Sven’s not gonna bet on Cry because he knows Cry’s shenanigans! Smart move!

And like a good waifu, Sytry is paying all of Cry’s debt (And closing of all of his escape option!)!

Tchao à plus!
