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

“Danna will…… Take you out?” (Kutry)

Alisha-ojou *niconico* smiles and *kokukoku* nods vigorously at what I, Kutry Smyart, say. I swallowed the words “How on earth will he do that?” at the last moment.

The system in Code is rock solid. Although I tried out various functions within my authority, I could not find any loopholes.

The king has placed a lock on Alisha-ojou’s room, and only he can unlock it. The materials that makeup Code’s buildings are incredibly strong and nearly impossible to break through by brute force. If Kryhi used all his strength he could destroy them, but on the other hand, he would have to do that to even scratch them, and even if she managed to escape by such means she would be pursued by the city system.

I have no idea how he will take Alisha-ojou out of her room.

Maybe he had some sort of deal with the king?

I have heard the story from Rusha. 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 made Alisha-ojou throw a tantrum, to suddenly vanish in the middle of it, and when he returned, he said he was speaking with the king.

If this information didn’t come from one of my companions, I would have just taken it as a load of shit. No, but Rusha has some parts where she is often out of the loop, so even now I cannot fully believe it.

As always, that Danna is as crazy as ever…… Wouldn’t 《Absurdity (Kotomukei)》 be better as his Alias than 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》?

Alisha-ojou is imprisoned because she can become a nuisance in the battle for the throne. Even from my point of view, it seems a bit excessive, but the throne succession is a sensitive issue in any country. This is especially true in this country, where princes and princesses are all equal in the eyes of the city system.

And despite that………… He will take her out?

Those are dangerous words that I am hesitant to even utter in this city. Those with high authority can review past footage and various sensors are constantly checking for any signs of rebellion.

I thought for sure that the protection of Alisha-ojou would be achieved by taking advantage of the chaos in the city at the moment of the throne’s succession, but perhaps that will not be the case?

Letting Alisha-ojou out at this stage would only unnecessarily raise alarm among the people around――.

“So, where did Danna go?” (Kutry)

“He went to check the route I will take when I go out…… He should be back soon, normally.” (Alisha)

This is a problem. I came here because Rusha forgot to tell him that we met Zachary Code, but………… Well, I guess Danna would already know without me having to tell him, huh.

Zachary has no intention of harming Alisha-ojou at the moment. However, there is a dangerous atmosphere in the camp.

Zachary and the lower-class people who follow him――Have a strange enthusiasm as they wait for the king’s demise. Some of the lower class people are even prepared to die while triggering an explosion if necessary. Those who are determined are strong. If things continue like this, a catastrophe may occur.

Zachary wants to talk with Cry, the Head of Alisha’s Royal Guard. He most likely wants to find a way to get to the King before he dies.

“I am sorry, but can you tell Danna something when he comes back. Please tell him we are with that certain man.” (Kutry)

“………… Alright.” (Alisha)

Sending messages through the city system is dangerous. Those messages may be monitored by higher authorities. Since 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 had been in contact with the lower class people himself and had expected Zachary to be their king, these words should be enough to convey what I mean.

In response to my request, Alisha nods with a somewhat bored look on her face. I chuckle and quickly leave to carry out my role.

I, Alisha, stare at the door through which Kutry left for a while, then I eventually turn my face away, look outside, and mutter quietly.

“………… Somehow…… It is boring. I wish he would come back soon.” (Alisha)

Thanks for reading! And thanks hazaelgutierrez for the Ko-fi! I’ll try to post an extra chapter next week. Now only Cry is able to entertain Alisha. But time to place your bet on how Cry will free Alisha!
