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

I take a deep breath to calm down a bit and ask.

“This is just a genuine question――Where was the loophole in the king’s locking door system?

” (Nora)There is a big difference between the loophole in the system that Angus and I are trying to exploit and the loophole in the system that Cry has exploited.

The former is nothing special, something anyone can notice, something that is like a silly bit of excuse, but the door Cry opened is a door that the king has locked by using his own authority.

Certainly, I have never tried to open that door.

And neither has Angus.

However, normally, a person with a lower class cannot open a door that has been closed by a person with a higher class.

The simple act of locking a door means there should be no gaps to exploit.

Cry frowns for a moment at my question, then sighs and says.

“Well, I don’t know why, but it opened.

Anyway, I brought Ohii-sama.

She is here because she said she wanted to meet you, Nora-san.

” (Cry)I don’t know why, but it opened, huh…… I don’t have the energy to point it out anymore.

I am busy.

Upon hearing what Cry said, Alisha Code, who has been following behind him, steps forward.

Alisha is a woman with a somewhat fragile air about her.

Her hair color and personality are completely different from mine――But there is definitely a mysterious aura about her.

So even if she is a spare, there is no doubt that she is a member of the royal family, huh.

Alisha looks at me and speaks in a faltering tone.

“Nice to meet you, Nora Onee-sama.

I am Alisha Code-desu.

It is an honor to meet you-desu.

I heard about you from Cry…… And I have, always wanted to meet you.

” (Alisha)To be honest, I have no interest in my Imouto who has no resources.

I have no intention of holding her responsible for the altercation that broke out when the door to her room was opened by Cry, letting her out, after all, I am busy.

The knights convey an air of admiration for Alisha who manages to greet me despite having been imprisoned for such a long time.

But I am not interested in someone who just got a passing grade.

“Hooh………… You seem to have good manners, Alisha Code.

I am Nora Code.

By the way, what have you heard from that man?

” (Nora)In response to my question that I have asked in a very bad mood, Alisha reaches out to touch her forehead and says.

“Yes.

Cry said that you are the person who researched these enhancement accessories and supplements that he brought back as souvenirs.

” (Alisha)“…… Cry, you bastard, did you treat the result of my research like a souvenir!?

” (Nora)“Because you know, that was the only option……” (Cry)I have indeed provided him with the results of my research in order to forge a cooperative relationship, but to think that he took them as a souvenir, you cannot even say that he lacks respect or anything similar.

But what is most unbelievable is――.

I frown as I examine the enhancement accessory that Alisha is showing me.

“You, weren’t you repelled by the enhancement accessory?

” (Nora)An enhancement accessory is not a convenient device that anyone can use.

It is a device that takes those who have been trained to even greater heights.

Even among my citizens who train hard every day to become knights, there would not be many who would not be rejected by the enhancement accessories.

Considering her circumstances of being imprisoned for so long, this should not be possible.

“Yes.

Nora Onee-sama, I have, never gone outside, but as a member of the royal family, I have, never, slacked off, on my training.

” (Alisha)“The city system’s education program………… That’s interesting.

It seems like you are not just a spare.

” (Nora)Enhancement accessories are part of the Enhanced Human Technology.

Being able to use them means that she has the potential to withstand the enhancement technology.

I stand up from my throne, place my fingers on my forehead, and remove my enhancement accessory.

Enhanced Human Technology is a technology that creates stronger people.

It is also a technology that creates stronger kings.

Naturally, I am also benefiting from this and have been working on improving myself.

The battle for the throne.

Once you reach the Royal Tower, what will ultimately matter is your ability as a human being.

From my point of view, Angus is a disgrace as he is a king who uses weapons to cover up his laziness.

“Just because you’re a princess doesn’t mean you can’t fight.

Spare, rejoice.

I, Nora, will personally test you.

” (Nora)“Yes, Nora Onee-sama!

” (Alisha)Alisha immediately responded to what I said.

She doesn’t seem intimidated at all after hearing what I said.

It is rare to find someone who can remain natural in front of me.

It seems that Alisha is different from me in appearance, personality, and everything else, but it seems we have something in common when it comes to courage.

If Alisha had been a member of royalty with resources rather than a spare, we might have been able to cooperate.

Ever since the taboo was violated, I have been in a foul mood due to all the unpleasant reports I have received, but it looks like I will be able to have some fun for the first time in a while.

Then, Cry, who has been silently watching the exchange between his owner and me, says with a frown.

“Nora-san, the way you call her!

In exchange for my help, you promised to call her 『My Very Kawaii Imouto Alisha-chan』, right?

” (Cry)“Hh?!

We are not there yet!

” (Nora)He is the kind of man who doesn’t read the mood and says the most outrageous things.

Alisha blinks and mutters the very same words he said.

She probably never thought that her own Royal Guard would make such a promise of his own accord.

Her innocent eyes somehow make me feel embarrassed, so I yell at Cry.

“In the first place, I told you!

If you want me to accept your ridiculous conditions, you have to show me your abilities.

Appease the sealed prisoner in the prison!

” (Nora)Right…… The sealed prisoner.

The worst prisoner that Angus had judged to be untouchable.

His value has only increased due to Angus’s sneak attack.

I have never actually seen the power of the sealed prisoner, but I cannot think of another way to make a comeback.

In response to what I say, Cry sighs softly and says reluctantly.

“…… Alright.

Sealed prisoner… Sealed prisoner, right?

I will give it a try, I will give it a try.

” (Cry)“Let me tell you this in advance, this is a difficult case that even I would have trouble dealing with.

After all, he is currently using his power to repel not only the city system but all kinds of interference.

One reason he was designated as a sealed prisoner is because there is still a use for him, but another reason is that he couldn’t be disposed of.

” (Nora)“Kryhi, I will ask you to come with me.

That is the reason I asked you to accompany me after all.

” (Cry)“Aah, of course.

A Magi imprisoned in a deeper underground than I was…… That is something to look forward to.

” (Kryhi)Kryhi smiles a refreshing, ferocious, and charming smile.

But compared to the sealed prisoner, even Kryhi’s power is nothing but cute.

Unlike the power of the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, that thing’s power cannot even be analyzed.

“I’ll contact the prison.

Be careful on your way there.

I’ll be playing with Alisha in the meantime.

” (Nora)There is not even a single chance that he can appease that man.

But if he can appease him――I am willing to admit it.

That Cry Andrich is a man that is useful to me.

Thanks for reading!

Here’s the extra chapter thanks to Dan Nguyen!

Nora is also starting to become interested in Alisha and starting to become her Onee-chan And Cry and Kryhi is finally going to meet the Kitsune Boss!

If you are in a generous mood and want to support me, I will be very grateful!
