Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 43 — The Movements of the S-Rank Hunters

While Yuito was challenging an A-rank dungeon, the incident of the stampede — broadcasted widely through television and streaming platforms — had reached the ears of Japan’s S-rank hunters.

The first S-rank hunter in the country, known by the title The Fatal Blade,〔Sword King〕, Tensei Suzuki, was speaking with his vice-clanmaster in his office.

“As I thought, my judgment was correct. To defeat an entire horde of B-rank monsters alone… it seems he already possesses power on par with an S-rank.”

“Yes. And we’ve already established a cooperative contract with him. To keep other clans in check, why don’t we make our relationship with him public?”

“Not a bad idea. But being just a cooperator feels a bit weak. Ideally, I’d like him as a full-fledged clan member.”

“If that happens, we’ll have two S-rank hunters in our clan. We’d gain overwhelming influence — in reputation, in recruitment — we’d outclass every other clan in Japan.”

“True, but the question is — how do we persuade an S-rank candidate to officially join us?”

The second S-rank hunter in Japan, known as The Martial Demon, Daiki Okamura, sat with a woman on each arm, speaking to his vice-clanmaster.

“So, a pretty interesting guy’s shown up. You dug up info on him yet?”

As he spoke, he roughly kneaded one woman’s breast with his right hand, while his left hand groped the other’s backside lewdly.

“Name’s Yuito Matsubara. Age eighteen. Works solo. Got promoted to C-rank in less than a month and already cleared a B-rank dungeon. He’s the real deal, boss.”

“If he’s solo, that’s perfect. Hey, bring that guy to me.”

“If he refuses, is it okay if we… use force?”

“Yeah. Half-dead’s fine.”

“Understood, boss. I’ll get it done.”

♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢

The third S-rank hunter in Japan, known as The Hellblaze Empress, Karen Miura, was resting in the training grounds while speaking with her vice-clanmaster.

“In this footage, he’s using large-scale «Fire Magic» and «Earth Magic». Both the range and power are exceptional. But it’s odd — he also uses a short sword.”

“Maybe his magic alone wasn’t enough for a one-shot kill, and considering the trolls’ troublesome regeneration, he used a weapon with some kind of special ability?”

“Hmm, that makes sense. Either way, with strength like that, he’ll reach S-rank soon enough. Make sure we get to him before anyone else does.”

“As you command.”

♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢

The fourth S-rank hunter in Japan, known as The Sacred Matriarch, Honoka Kikuchi, was cleansing herself in a large public bath, surrounded by several female clan members.

“Lady Honoka, what should we do about this man everyone’s talking about?”

“My clan primarily recruits female hunters, so I normally wouldn’t consider a man. But… with strength like his, I simply can’t ignore him.”

“Understood.”

“No rough handling, though. I’ll negotiate with him personally — gently and politely. Fufufu~~❤️”

E/N:

Some really annoying bugs are upto no-good again!

Sword King, he really should be grateful with what he got, greedy bastard!

Second one? He doesn't deserve his title, this Yakuza-ahh POS… Whatever, someone's gonna die…

Third, what is Megumin doing here, 😂. Doesn't really matter, this Empress not getting her King…

The last one tho… Mama~ *pacifier sucking sound intensifies* 🤣 But, it would be difficult with a clan full of women.

Let's see if Yuito takes the "cultured man" route or "Solo Leveller" route! Fingers crossed for latter! Stay tuned!
