Let This Grieving Soul Retire: Volume 5 (Light Novel)


Book Description

Krai’s vacation continues! He may have initially failed to meet up with the rest of his childhood friends, but that doesn’t mean he can go home quite yet. He still has to avoid a certain conference in the imperial capital, which means at least two more weeks on the run (that is to say, vacationing). By avoiding Earl Gladis and his named quest, shaking off Arnold and his companions, and finding lodgings in the idyllic mountain town of Suls, Krai just might be home free. But what starts off as a nice stay at a high-end hot spring (with Sitri footing most of the bill) is soon interrupted by the appearance of a dragon. The chaos is amplified by vicious bandits and the revelation that more than just hot water is circulating beneath Suls. With the fate of an entire town at risk, it’s up to the Thousand Tricks to save it by means only he and the rest of Grieving Souls could possibly pull off.
