Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

The growth of Angus’ force has gone much bigger than what I had originally anticipated. The person who accomplished this was Jin Gordon, who came from outside and became an executive officer. When that man came to Code a few years ago, he quickly defeated the nobles under Angus and took an executive officer seat. It didn’t take long for Angus’ already large force to become a force to be reckoned with.

No matter how you plan this, there is no chance of winning in a proper fight.

However, Cry doesn’t show any reaction at all to what I said. He just *niconico* smiles and says to Alisha.

“Well, you can just leave it to me as if you were riding a wave in a big ship. I have my own keikaku. It won’t be a bad thing for you.” (Cry)

“!! Tony Onii-sama, let’s leave it to Cry! My Royal Guard is extremely skilled!” (Alisha)

Alisha’s eyes sparkle as she shakes my arm. Her expression shows a deep trust in him.

For me, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy you can trust like that. Certainly, his comments are interesting and he has produced some unbelievable results, but in the end, his overall rating is only 4. The evaluation criteria are unclear, but there is a strong theory that the evaluation takes into account not only ability but also motivation. In other words, the man in front of me should have neither ability nor motivation.

However――That is the best we have, huh.

There is no point in struggling now. Besides, there is still, a possibility. Cry has found a loophole in the system and unlocked the lock the King had placed. It would take a miracle of that magnitude to defeat Angus.

“I see…… If Alisha says that, then I will leave it all to you. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know.” (Tony)

And this choice is, probably, the most――Interesting.

He blinks at what I said, thinks about it for a moment, then gives a half-hearted smile and says.

“There is nothing special you can do for the time being――Well then, I am sorry, but could you fix that small Spider I broke? Ohii-sama wants to ride it.” (Cry)

In the end, the sightseeing plan with Ohii-sama was a great success.

We met Zachary-san, we met Nora-san, we met Tony. There were a lot of unexpected things that happened, like recruiting Kuubi, Ohii-sama throwing a tantrum, and Tony-san opening a shop, but Ohii-sama seemed to be having fun throughout the whole thing, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

Despite walking here and there and talking to so many different people, Ohii-sama shows no signs of fatigue. In fact, compared to before we left, she seems overflowing with energy.

“Cry, that was so fun!” (Alisha)

“Un, un, that’s right. That’s good.” (Cry)

I am glad that it seems like she was able to relieve some stress. I cannot believe she was locked up until recently, not at all.

“So, where are we going tomorrow? It looks like we are going back though――” (Alisha)

“That’s………… Riiiight. How about a ride on the Spider that Tony-san fixed for you?” (Cry)

“!!” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama *kokukoku* nods enthusiastically. I feel like I am going to lose against her incredible vitality. Unlike Nora-san and Tony-san’s areas, we walk along a road that is not crowded and arrive at the familiar Ohii-sama’s building. Ohii-sama goes inside and just as I am about to follow, I am called out by Kool.

“Cry-san, so…… What is the keikaku? If you have any work for us, please share it with us.” (Kool)

“Aaah, the keikaku. It’s okay, it’s okay, there’s no need to share it, no need.” (Cry)

“…………” (Kool)

It is because once the Kaiser and Saya have secured Angus-ouji and joined us, we will just run away with the rest of the Royal Family.

Kaiser and Saya will be the ones to come up with the concrete plan. It is so easy when you have capable allies.

“………… I will do as I please, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. I don’t know what you are thinking, but I am not interested in getting friendly with you. Call me when your keikaku or whatnot starts.” (Kuubi)

With those words, Kuubi leaves. Does he not realize that he is a convict? While showing Ohii-sama around today, he had a frown on his face as if he was thinking about something the whole time――.

“Well then, Cry, I think I’ll head back too. I need to train on my anti-code weapons skills.” (Kryhi)

《Strange Friek (Nageki no Akuryo)》 leaves after saying some disturbing things. Everyone is so energetic.

I am already tired, so let’s go to bed early today. I sigh and enter Ohii-sama’s building.

§ § §

――And then, when I came to, I found myself lying down in a mysterious room.

A high, *kirakira* sparkling ceiling. An endlessly wide metal floor and transparent walls.

I shake my still half-asleep head a few times and somehow manage to get up.

I am sure that yesterday after we finished sightseeing, I set up a bed in front of Ohii-sama’s room and slept there.

While in confusion, a familiar hoarse voice reaches my ears.

“Well done, Cry Andrich. That was beyond Code’s expectations.” (?)

Thanks for reading! Tony has now fallen too! Only Morris is left before Nora joins Alisha. How is she going to convince him?
