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

Chapter 420.2: Loophole ②



“Hah? Wh-What? A loophole in the system!?” (Olivia)

She is Ohii-sama’s Grand Chamberlain. The voice of Olivia-san, who I haven’t seen in a while since she disappeared with a tired look on her face, rings out. Next to her, the Head Butler, Jean-san, who I haven’t seen recently either, is completely frozen.

The person they are both looking at is Ohii-sama, who was released from her imprisonment last night. She is gazing down at the outside of the window in high spirits, ignoring their gazes. Even though she could have just looked at the view from the window of her own room, Ohii-sama’s mood has remained at its peak since last night.

If I hadn’t stopped her from leaving the building, she might have flown away somewhere like a kite whose string was cut.

“Th-There’s no way there’s a loophole in the king’s system, no way!” (Olivia)

“Heck, what kind of eyes do you have to have to notice something like that? I’ve tried tinkering with the system and looking into that door, but I couldn’t get anywhere……” (Zuri)

Zuri, who has also arrived that morning, speaks with a distorted face as Olivia-san is in the midst of a state of utter confusion. Apparently, the members of 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》 are so loyal that while I was away someone had come to check on Ohii-sama every day.

“Well, it was full of loopholes, un.” (Cry)

If anything, it is the king that has loopholes, rather than the system. That was definitely the king who opened the door. What, create a loophole. There was no other option but to open the door.

“………… It’s a problem that a Class 6 was able to open the door…… But what is even more problematic is that the king allowed it. This…… Will definitely cause chaos.” (Jean)

“This-is-the-worst! I cannot even say any excuses anymore……” (Olivia)

Says Jean-san in a strained voice. I don’t know what he means, but all the blood has drained from his wrinkled face. Olivia-san also sounds like she is about to die at any moment.

Does this mean there are a lot of people who don’t want Ohii-sama to go outside?

I *chirari* glance over at the three special mechanized soldiers standing guard as if they are protecting Ohii-sama, and then check just to be sure.

“Ohii-sama seems to have been inside her room all this whole time, so since she is finally out, I was thinking about taking a look around the city together, is that okay with you?” (Cry)n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“………… You have done whatever you wanted up until now, so there is no need to listen to my opinion, right? I can’t think of anything that can make us recover from this situation. There’s no point in staying quiet now. It’s over for both of us, and both of you!” (Olivia)

Olivia-san is upset.

I just went with the flow this whole time and don’t remember doing whatever I wanted. I found Kool in the prison because Olivia-san told me to go there, I ended up rescuing Kryhi because Kool and the others asked me to, and I gave chocolate to Ohii-sama because she was looking at it with great interest. The only thing I did of my own volition was go sightseeing this time.

Olivia-san scratches her head glares at me and says.

“Just to let you know, the Dontan family you chased away have now left “His Highness Tony (Tony-denka)” and are now working under “His Highness Angus (Angus-denka)”. What’s more, they’ve brought along a large number of sympathizers!” (Olivia)

“Hh!!” (Cry)

“That’s right, that’s the end of the line! Moreover, the mercenaries are determined to band together and eliminate you, even without the prince’s orders! You’ve really earned a lot of hatred, haven’t you?” (Olivia)

“I was wondering who Angus was, but it turns out he is a prince.” (Cry)

“Hh…………!?” (Olivia)

Everyone was saying Angus this, Angus that, so I was wondering who he was, but I finally found out who he was. In another, um…… How many people does this make now?

For the time being, I don’t know what is going on, but I do know that my life is in danger and being targeted. If it was just me alone, I could probably escape with the help of the mechanized soldiers, but with Ohii-sama there, I don’t have enough fighting power.

Ohii-sama is already in the mood and ready to go and look around outside. After all, she wanted to go outside so badly that she even froze up.

Moreover, there is also the matter Nora-san told me about. I will have to meet Kryhi at some point.

“Well, for now, I need to meet Kryhi at least once. Zuri, can you guide us there?” (Cry)

“That………… Is what I am hoping for………… But you will be taking Ohii-sama with you, right? You do know where Kryhi is right now, right?” (Zuri)

It will be okay even if I don’t know where he is. Distances are nothing in this city where you can travel freely on a Spider.

I call out to Ohii-sama, who is looking out the window and pretending not to hear our conversation.

“Ohii-sama.” (Cry)

“I’m coming too.” (Alisha)

Even though I haven’t said anything, Ohii-sama answers immediately. Up until now, Ohii-sama has lived a life with almost no contact with other people. If it was true that she had been in that room since she was born, then her first conversation with a human should have been with me.

Even now, it seems like she has a little difficulty talking to anyone other than me. It would be best if she gets used to communication to some extent before she leaves Code. Once she goes outside, she won’t be a princess anymore.

As for how to have a conversation――It would probably be fine to leave it to Rusha to teach her. She did say herself that she comes from a good family the other day, so I am sure she will teach her proper etiquette.

Thanks for reading! Lol Dontan family still exist, if I was him instead of facing Cry I would have ran away looong ago I can already see their misfortune next time they see Cry. And Cry finally discover who Angus is XD
