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

No, I didn’t intend to leave for that long tho’, you know!

When I arrive in front of Ohii-sama’s room, I take a deep breath and make the window transparent. At almost the same time, I can hear Ohii-sama’s voice.

“!! Cry, welcome back! How was it?” (Alisha)

“Hm…… I am back?” (Cry)

Ohii-sama greets me with a big smile as she rests her forehead against the window.

………… Huh? Nothing seems to have changed tho’.

I *jirojiro* stare at Ohii-sama’s face. I was told that I would understand if I went there, but……  I have no idea. In fact, it even seems like Ohii-sama’s excitement is a little higher than usual.

I move my head and check the room, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. It is the same empty room as always.

“How have you been?” (Cry)

“…… The usual.” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama’s eyes widen for a moment, then she quickly reassures me. Apparently it was the usual.

What the hell did the king see that made him tell me to hurry home.

In this case, maybe it would have been better to wait another day and go buy some souvenirs, no?

I want to check with the king, but unfortunately, I don’t know how to contact him. As I tilt my head to the side, Ohii-sama comes to check me while looking *sowasowa* fidgety.

“So…… How was it outside?” (Alisha)

“Ah, well it was *nakanaka* quite fun. Each area has its own characteristics depending on which Royal Family manages it――Ah, here’s a souvenir.” (Cry)

I sent over the small Spider that I brought with me, which doesn’t look like it would move again, along with the strengthening accessories and supplements that I sent to Zaza and the others. Ohii-sama has a subtle look on her face when I give her the items I got as souvenirs, but as soon as I start to talk about what I experienced in Code, she immediately returns to her smiling face. At first, she used to only smile gently, but her face seems to have become much more expressive now.

It is not like I am telling a particularly interesting story, but it is worth telling if there is someone who enjoys listening to it.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Then, when I finish speaking, Ohii-sama says.

“So…… Cry. When are you going to show me around the city?” (Alisha)

“?” (Cry)

Ohii-sama looks at me *wakuwaku* excitedly with upturned eyes.

Show you…… The city? Did I mention that? I was simply looking around the city to search for Relics and sightseeing――But in the first place, the door to Ohii-sama’s room would not open. Ŕ

The door has been locked by the king, likely under the compulsion of the nobles, and even Kryhi cannot open it. Ohii-sama doesn’t seem to be complaining about being confined――But did you actually, want to get out?

“No, well, that…… That’s just, you see. The door won’t open.”  (Cry)

“……………… Eh?” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama exclaims in a shocked voice and her expression looks like a pigeon that has been hit by a peashooter. I feel the same way too, you know.

And there is one important thing. There is a possibility that our conversation is being watched. At the very least, that self-proclaimed king must be watching this scene.

I know this is a bit late to say, but if I were to try to get Ohii-sama out, it would expose me as an enemy of the force that locked her away. Well, you will just have to be patient for a little while until Kaiser and Saya come to our rescue……

I clear my throat, cross my arms, and say with a stern expression.

“Really, this Ohii-sama. We cannot open the door as the King has decided so. Isn’t that right?” (Cry)

“Th-That’s…… B-But! Then why did you say you wanted an escort? You were going to check the route to escort me, right?” (Alisha)

“………… Ohii-sama gives me too much credit. In the first place, we cannot even open the door……” (Cry)

“D-Don’t say it again and again!” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama starts to have tears in her eyes. No, that is just for appearance’s sake. If we can safely escape this city, you will be able to walk outside as much as you want…… It is hard not being able to say it out loud.

“So…… I’ll be here forever?” (Alisha)

“……………… Well, if that is what the King of Code has decided.” (Cry)

“Hh!!” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama covers her mouth with her hand as if in shock.

“No, but Ohii-sama, you have been living like this your whole life, so…… You will be fine, right.” (Cry)

“” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama freezes at what I say.

…… Somehow, Ohii-sama’s reaction is strange. Her reaction is a lot more extreme than I would have imagined, you know?

Besides, hasn’t Ohii-sama been living comfortably in her room all this time? She was *niconico* smiling so much, so I have no idea why she suddenly started saying something like that.

I wait for a while, but Ohii-sama remains frozen. I *hirahira* wave my hands in front of her, but she doesn’t react, as if she cannot see anything.

Thanks for reading! Happy new year, this year is going to be the year where I will catch up with the raw! Cry just “Finish her” and now when Cry looks at Alisha the response you have is: There’s no response, it’s just a corpse
