Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~-Chapter 408.1: Tantrum

Ohii-sama is excellent. From what I have observed, her learning and athletic abilities are superior to mine, her personality is much gentler than Nora-san’s, and she is even willing to listen to the words of a lowly person like me.

Her only weakness is that she has been imprisoned and is therefore somewhat ignorant of the world. In the outside world, Ohii-sama is just an ordinary person, so as she is being protected now, she must learn to some extent how to force her way through.

Fortunately, I know how to force things through even though I don’t have any skills. Well, I don’t have many opportunities to use my skills because I have childhood friends and an Imouto who are both excellent and supportive――. freewebnøvel.com

On the other side of the door. In the only room where she is allowed to move, Ohii-sama speaks with a nervous look on her face.

“A-Am I really going to do it?” (Alisha)

“Well, it is fine even if you don’t do it………… But in the outside world, if you want something or want to do something, you have to do something about it on your own. That is how everyone in the outside world does it.” (Cry)

“………… Honmono-san, is this reaally, how Honmono-san has been doing it up until noow? Somehow, it seems different from what I’ve heard…………” (Rusha)

Rusha looks up at me with a frown on her face, half-believing, half-skeptical about it. No, it is not like I got here just by throwing a tantrum, but I won’t deny that I have continued to rely on other people’s help and have been deceiving and misleading people with on-the-fly responses. Well, I don’t think there is any other way out this time, though.

To be honest, I don’t care if the King of Code makes chocolates or not. I love chocolate, but I am not that obsessed about it. There are plenty of other sweets in the outside world besides chocolate. If I could include other sweets besides chocolate in my Relic, my lineup would have been much more varied.

Ohii-sama takes a deep breath for a moment, then steps away from the door and stares at one spot. Maybe that is where the King of Code is watching from. An indescribable sense of tension is coming from Ohii-sama, who has only shown a carefree side until recently.

Then Ohii-sama clasps her hands together and says in a sweet voice.

“Papaaa, Alisha…… Wants you to make some chocolates. It’s my once-in-a-lifetime wish! Can you?” (Alisha)

Ohii-sama tilts her head and stares into space.

………… Not bad, even though you were so reluctant when Rusha taught you how to do it.

The way she acts, casting aside all pride, has the dignity of royalty (I don’t know what I am saying). Even Rusha, her Shisho, is wide-eyed. That is how perfect her 『Begging』 is. Although I don’t know if that will work on the King of Code when that magnificent 『Dogeza』 didn’t work on him――.

“………… Honmono-san. I am thinking that I should take a moment to reflect on my actions up until noow.” (Rusha)

Don’t regret it after making someone else do it! I feel so sorry for Ohii-sama!

Ohii-sama remains frozen with her head tilted to one side for a while, but soon, her already flushed face turns even redder. Her neck is now bright red. Beads of sweat are streaming down her face. If this 『Begging』 directly taught by Rusha doesn’t work, then she will have no choice but to make up her mind.

Then Ohii-sama collapses on the spot, rolls onto her back on the floor, *bunbun* shaking her head wildly, *batabata* flailing her arms and legs while screaming.

“Nooo waaay! Alisha wants some chocolate! Cho-co-la-te! Pa-pa! Cho-co-la-te!!!! I want it!” (Alisha)

…… It seems her 『Begging』 was useless. I was really hopeful about it because Rusha said it would definitely work……

Her 『Tantrum』 is quite pitiful and a great one. However, it doesn’t really convey the feeling that she wants chocolates.

Maybe Ohii-sama has already given up on herself. After having made it this far, she cannot retreat now.

As expected, even the talented Ohii-sama seems to lack the talent for throwing a tantrum.

Past Liz-chan’s tantrums were nothing like this in the past. She would throw a tantrum in a mud puddle, *gorogoro* roll around, cling to me, and even start removing her clothes. She was invincible. Now Liz has become a fine Onee-san (Saying that for the second time).

The trick to throwing a tantrum is to keep repeating the request until the other person gives in to your demands. I shout at Ohii-sama to try to encourage her, as I can tell from her expression that she is about to give in.

“Ohii-sama, you are not being shameless enough! Throw away your shame and show it off! It is working! It is definitely working!” (Cry)

“That’s amaziing…… Honmono-san, just so you know………… I’ve never done anything like this before, you knoow? It’s true, you knoow? I mean, there’s no way I’d show such a shameful side to my Onii-chan, right? Even though I look like this, I’m still quite the lady, you knoow?” (Rusha)

Says Rusha, who is not very helpful when it comes to 『Throwing a Tantrum』. Well, it is because if you are shy, you cannot throw a tantrum.

As you can imagine, even I know I can’t throw a tantrum. Even if I did, my demands would never be accepted, so I would be better off doing a dogeza.

However, for now, let’s support Ohii-sama. Right now, she is fighting after abandoning everything.

I open my eyes wide, firmly burn the image of Ohii-sama’s brave figure into my retinas, and cheer her on.

“*Ganbare, ganbare* Do your best, do your best, Ohii-sama! Just a little bit more! Come on, throw everything away!” (Cry)

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

『So it is you bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! You are the one making the Spare do strange things!』 (?)

“!?” (Cry)

“Hiee!?” (Rusha)

Suddenly, I hear a voice coming from nowhere and my eyes involuntarily open. Rusha *bikuri* shudders and looks around with her eyes cast up, while Ohii-sama, who has been wriggling and flailing around, stops moving.

?? What? Was that just now?

I check behind me, but there is no one there but us. I cannot believe that I heard a voice even though there was no one around…… What’s more, it is a voice I don’t recognize.

……………… Oh well. I pull myself together and encourage Ohii-sama, who has stopped moving.

“Ohii-sama, come on, why are you stopping! Even though it is going so well!” (Cry)

“Eh? !?? Cho…… Cho-co-la-te!” (Alisha)

『Cease that!!』 (?)

It is a loud shout that is as loud as a lightning bolt striking close by. At the same time as the voice, a strong feeling of dizziness hit me.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

――And then, when it calms down, I am standing alone in an empty white space.

There is no sign of Rusha, who has been with me just a moment ago, or Ohii-sama, who has been throwing a tantrum. In the first place, there are no rooms or corridors. I can barely see my own body, but other than that I cannot really see anything else. It is completely white.

What is going on here? As I blink at the sudden turn of events, a voice comes down from the sky.

『Tell the Spare to stop that right now! It is unbearable to watch!”』 (?)

“………… Who is it?” (Cry)

『………… Our name is Cross Code. We are the King of this Code.』 (Cross)

Cross Code. The King of this Code.

My eyes open wide at what he says.

The King of Code is one of the people I have to protect. And he is supposed to be the most difficult one to protect. After all, the King of Code is the most privileged person in Code’s city system. Naturally, he is also an important figure for the nobles, our hypothetical enemies who are imprisoning the Royal Family, so it is easy to imagine that he would be the most heavily guarded.

It would be one thing if he had contacted his daughter, Ohii-sama, but to have him contact me――And I don’t expect that those who are imprisoning the King will allow something like that. Also, if the information that Kool and the others had gathered is true, the King shouldn’t have been appearing in public for a while――No one had even heard his voice in a while.

Contacting the King of Code is normally the biggest hurdle in completing the request. No matter how incompetent I am, I can tell that something is definitely wrong with the current situation.

………… Is this really the voice of the King of Code? That sounds suspicious.

Thanks for reading! Thanks Valis1911 for the ko-fi! Let’s go! Contact with the king! Sasuga Cry! Time to make the king see the true power of a dogeza! But Alisha’s face during the tantrum is so funny (>o<)/
