Lily's Observatory

Announced by the Japanese Hunter Guild through television and various media: the birth of the “ Fourth 〘 Regalia 〙”. That information spread in an instant, rippling outward across the world, not just within Japan. At the same time, the long-held perception of “ Japan ” by other nations was overturned from its very foundation. One S-Rank dungeon. Only five S-Rank Hunters. A weak hunter nation with barely any say in global affairs- That had been Japan until now. And yet, in that country, there emerged a hunter bearing the title of “ King ”, possessing power capable of destroying a nation alone. No longer could anyone afford to look down on it as inferior. Except for the hunter superpowers like China, Russia, and the United States, other countries were forced into a position of carefully watching Japan’s every move. While the upper echelons of countless nations trembled in fear, only Russia and the United States, both possessing members of〘 Regalia 〙, remained unfazed. » Somewhere in Russ...

Now then, next is my matter with Saori. “There’s one more thing I need to discuss, Saori.” “ ~Sniff~sniff~sniff~ah~~ , yes?” “Could you stop sniffing and listen seriously for a moment?” “Understood.” When I asked, Saori properly stopped sniffing and stepped back for a moment. “We’ve received an inquiry from the Runegard Kingdom regarding the missing Saint.” When I said that, Saori finally put on a serious expression. “So it’s finally come.” “Yes.” “Then I suppose this peaceful time is over.” Saori said this with a lonely tone. However, I shook my head and denied it. “No. I’ve already replied that we have not yet located the Saint.” “Huh?” “So, will you continue to stay by my side, Saori?” When I said that, Saori’s eyes welled up slightly, and she smiled. “Thank you, Yūichi-san.” “It’s only natural. You are already my wife.” Saying that, I pulled Saori into an embrace. “However, it is true that the Kingdom is relying on your power. And it’s also true that I am under suspicion. So we’ll ...

After inspecting the facilities under construction, I headed to the temporary infirmary. Since this was still a developing base, it was inevitable that there would be a large number of injuries. So, the injured were gathered here, and personnel with powerful healing-type skills were mobilized to provide concentrated treatment. There were mainly two reasons for my visit here. One was to meet three members of Suzuno’s party who were working here: Nishina Yuki, Suzuhara Ayumi-sensei, and Kinoshita Tomoe-senswi. When I entered the infirmary, Suzuhara-sensei had just finished treating someone. “Alright, your wounds are closed now.” “Thank you very much!” A member of the security division, apparently injured in a battle with monsters, bowed his head to Suzuhara and left. Beside her, Kinoshita-sensei was helping with the work, seemingly handling simple clerical tasks. “How is work going for the two of you?” “Otogi-san? Yes, treatments are proceeding smoothly. Though, since we’re surrounded by...

At present, I was visiting the Hunter Guild headquarters, seated on a reception sofa in the office, facing the guild master. After that, I was able to get in touch without issue, and the guild master’s schedule happened to be open, so I quickly got ready and left the house. And now, here I was. “Hunter Matsubara. I’m glad to see you’re safe.” The Guildmaster began with that, wearing a relieved expression, yet his gaze held a trace of caution. “In China… well, did anything happen?” “Sorry for the concern. I was clearing S-Rank dungeons day after day, getting excited and disappointed over the rewards, although… it would’ve been nice if that were all.” When I answered jokingly, the guild master’s expression tightened. “…Please tell me what happened.” From his serious demeanor, it was clear he was genuinely worried about me. Well, everything had already been settled. There was no reason to hide it. I told him everything that had happened in China. Right after clearing my first S-Rank dunge...

A hunter superpower, China. From the storage vault of its Hunter Guild headquarters, I obtained a Mythical-grade item,《 Orb of Skill Paragon 》. It integrates skills and gives birth to new power. A true embodiment of a divine miracle. I cautiously reached out toward the blue crystal orb placed on the desk. The moment I touched it, the orb emitted a blue glow, and a translucent window unfolded in midair. What appeared there was not the familiar list of skills. “Extra Skills”… A classification I was seeing for the first time. It seemed that by integrating my current skills, I could create four Extra Skills. First, I checked their details. ━━━━━━━━━━ 【 Physical Overdrive 】  - Permanently; Strength, Endurance, and Agility value × 8 . 【 Spell Overcast 】  - Power of all magic spells = Intelligence value × 8 . 【 Inviolable 】  - Nullifies physical attacks such as impacts or slashing and piercing attacks. ※ Unique Skills and special effects of divine artifacts are excluded. 【 Spell...

Having conquered every S-Rank dungeon in China and, in the process, defeated some of the world’s strongest figures such as〈 Kowloon 〉and〘 Hunting King • Regalia 〙, I had gained even greater power, something I could clearly feel. The matter of Chairman Li Wei, the mastermind behind the attacks, had already been settled, and there was no longer any reason for me to remain in China. Without hesitation, I activated【Void Magic】and returned home in an instant. This power I inherited from Haoran, the former〘 Hunting King • Regalia 〙, was more convenient than I had imagined. There was no need for tedious travel time or long waits at the airport. As long as it was a place I had visited once, I could simply picture it and arrive there in the blink of an eye. That day, after returning home, the continuous S-Rank dungeon clears and intense battles had pushed my mental fatigue to its limit more than my physical exhaustion. After briefly showing my face to father and mother to let them know I was ...

Accompanied by the brainwashed chairman and secretary, I stepped toward the exit to head for the storage vault of equipment and items, when my eyes met Jin’s. He neither ran nor stood in my way. He simply watched me quietly. In his gaze, there was not fear, but resolve. …Determined eyes. He had likely understood the moment he laid eyes on me. The outcome his choices had brought about. And that this was now a fate he could no longer resist. That was why he did not try to protect the chairman, nor did he attempt to block my path. He stood there, prepared to accept everything. Now then… What should I do with Jin? As a local support staff member, he had assisted me with everything from dungeon guidance to processing material sales. But in the end, he was also the one who followed the Chairman’s orders and delivered me to that battlefield. To me, Jin was also a target for purge. That said, he had never directly raised a blade against me, and it was also true that he had been courteous throu...
