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

Chapter 400.2: Captive Lightning Emperor ⑤

The one who answers instead of the staff member is Nora-ojou, who is following behind with her knight squad. Nora-san has remained silent and refused to make eye contact since Kryhi was released, but apparently, she understands what is going on.

“Prison break!? Who?” (Cry)

“The 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》. Angus rewrote the prison’s rules. You went outside the prison without following the rules, so you’re now recognized as an escapee.” (Nora)

You are kidding…… I am quite curious about who this Angus guy is, but this city is a mess.

“I was wondering what he was planning to do by giving the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 to the Spare, but――He played some cunning tricks on you. If I become king, I’ll definitely kill that man.” (Nora)

Spits out Nora-san.

By the way…… What happens if you are recognized as an escapee?

As I stand there while staring in wonder, the staff member cries out in distress.

“When a prisoner is recognized as having escaped from prison――The prison’s security will be mobilized! They will eliminate the escapee and those who collaborate with him!” (Staff Member)

The huge mechanized soldiers that have been waiting in the courtyard slowly begin to move. The thick gates are closed, and the countless turrets that have appeared without anyone noticing are all aimed at us.

I don’t sense any murderous intent. It is not trying to kill me. They are just following the system and trying to process things robotically.

I take a deep breath and check with Nora-san.

“…… Nora-san, is there any way you can do something about it?” (Cry)

“…… Just hold on for eight minutes and fifty-two seconds. I’ll rewrite the rules back to normal. Anyway, we’re leaving now.”

Light pours down on Nora-san and her soldiers from above.

Before I know it, a large disk-like object is floating directly above them. Bathed in light, Nora-dan and her knights float up and are sucked into the disk.

The mechanized soldiers don’t react to this obvious desertion in the face of the enemy.

I want you to take me with you……

“Aren’t you going to give us a ride too?” (Cry)

“If I let you guys on board, my saucer might be attacked.” (Nora)

That is so cold…… Even though I was doing everything I could to accommodate you.

“Well, you know that the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 you were trying to free is also with us, right……” (Cry)

“!?” (Nora)

Nora-san, who is floating in the air, is momentarily at a loss for words at my words, but then she quickly loudly retorted.

“I couldn’t free him. I’m not interested in what I can’t have.” (Nora)

I see, so it is like that…… It seems like you can switch gears quickly, which is great.

However, it doesn’t change the fact that we are in a pinch. I have my Barrier Rings with me as usual, but will we be able to escape? Even Kryhi, who I am counting on, has just been released, so he is likely exhausted…… Kool looks at me desperately, but, don’t tell me he is expecting something from me? No way, man.

As I am pretending to be badass and at a loss as to what to do, Nora-ojou snorts and says with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

“Besides, the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 I wanted to free would not be defeated by the prison’s defenses.” (Nora)

“……” (Cry)

Hearing this, Kryhi *panpan* dusts his hands and steps forward as if to protect us.

“Of course, Nora! And Cry! I don’t want you to compare me to how I was, back then!” (Kryhi)

He is still as confident as ever. I think he was plenty strong as he was back then, but now――.

Of the mechanized soldiers deployed in the courtyard, one that is particularly large leaps at him.

Kryhi turns his hand at the shining saber that is being swung down with a roar.

A-Areh……? Come to think of it, I think you cannot use Magic here, right?

Disregarding my questions, dazzling purple lightning flashes from Kryhi’s entire body. Then Kryhi shouts.

“I was always thinking about this while I was chained up! Here is my answer!” (Kryhi)

You are too bright. You are (Literally) too bright, Kryhi Andrichhi……

“If the Magic construction I shoot is dismantled, then I will become lightning itself! Receive the power of the heavens! 『I Am The Eradicating Blue Lightning Dragon God (Ga Raisei Ryu Kai Kijin)』 !” (Kryhi)

“…… Onii-chan, you are making an original spell agaiiin……” (Rusha)

This is the first time I hear Rusha’s exasperated voice. And the moment the saber touches Kryhi, the giant mechanized soldier is blown away with great force.

Thanks for reading! Let’s go chapter 400! Can’t believe I made it this far. Gotta keep this up and catch up to the raw!

Never thought it would be possible but Nora potential tsundere!? And Kryhi Super Saiyen mode activated!
