Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~-Chapter 398.2: Captive Lightning Emperor ③

Now, I wonder what I can say to rebut her…… But before I can speak, the staff member speaks fearfully.

“Nora-ojou…… Forgive my rudeness, but…… Even though a release request hasn’t been made, a request for guidance has already been made. If there are multiple people, we will guide them in order of whoever came first.” (Staff Member)

“Aaaah?” (Nora)

She says in a low voice. The staff member receiving her murderous gaze tries to smile but fails.

“T-These are the prison’s rules. As much as I would love to give priority to Nora-ojou, there’s nothing I can do. Or are you planning to rebel against the city system?” (Staff Member)

“Hh………………” (Nora)

Nora-ojou says nothing, but her face turns redder and redder. A drop of crimson drips from her lip, staining the floor. She has bitten her lip.

Her expression reveals intense emotions.

A storm of passion. Nora-ojou stomps her feet in frustration. Her hair floats up. A murderous scream echoes throughout the prison building.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! F-Fuck! I’ll definitely kill you all!! Angus, Tony, the Spare, and even you, Royal Guards! When I become king, I’ll exterminate all those who got in my way!! How dare you take that gentleman away from me!! Even though I’m the one who cares about that gentleman the most!! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!” (Nora)

“………… Cry-sama, let me guide you.” (Staff Member)

The staff member who has been watching Nora-ojou with a pale expression turns to me and says this. Does she want to leave as soon as possible? Nora-ojou is like an angry dragon. I would like to run away too, but that is not an option.

After all, I came here――To secure the royal family.

Nora-ojou doesn’t seem like the type to be the puppet of the noble, but leaving that aside, she is someone I need to protect. I could leave it to the Kaiser and Saya, but before they start making their move in earnest, I think it would be a good idea to make their job a little easier. I approach, knee down in front of Nora-ojou, who is pounding the floor with all her might, and say.

“You know Nora-san…… If you don’t mind…… Would you like to come with us?” (Cry)

“………… Ah?” (Nora)

“Cry-san!?” (Kool)

Kool and the others look at me in shock. The staff member is also at a loss for words. However, the one who seems the most surprised is Nora-ojou herself.

She looks up at me as if she is looking at an incomprehensible creature and speaks in a trembling voice.

“Ah…… Ah? Wh, at, are you, talking about?” (Nora)

“It is fine if you negotiate first. However, there is a condition. No brainwashing. That is not what you want, is it? I wouldn’t do something like that either. The 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 is not someone you can brainwash.” (Cry)

I came here to free Kryhi. However, I am not sure if my application for release will be approved. After all, Nora-ojou’s application for release was rejected many times, so it is up to the city system to decide whether or not to release him――So I think I should try to do something to make things go as smoothly as possible (Let’s wait and see how it goes).

I hold my hand out. Nora-san looks at my hand for a moment, but soon enough she *pechiri* smacks it away and stands up with her own two feet.

“Y-You will, regret it, okay? Showing mercy to me, to Nora Code!” (Nora)

“I don’t mind having one more regret now. It will only just add one more to my collection of regrets.” (Cry)

“????” (Nora)

At least for now, Nora-san’s rage seems to have calmed down.

Kool and the others are shocked at my sudden betrayal, but they aren’t saying anything. Well, well, let’s keep it civil. Nora-san speaks to the soldiers behind her who hadn’t moved an inch while she was writhed in anger.

“Wait here. I will be right back.” (Nora)

Now, how is 《Infinite Sky Flowers (Senten Banka)》 doing after such a long time?

Thanks for reading! Yooo what is going on!? Cry is letting Nora free Kryhi first? Is he planning to have him infiltrate Nora’s faction like Kaiser? What is Cry’s endgame?
