Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~-Chapter 391.1: Prisoners

The companion of the one who attacked Code, huh.

Having briefly explored the city and feeling its greatness, it is hard for me to believe what she said. Even without going inside, you can understand the terror of Code just by looking at its exterior. They must be pretty crazy to see this huge city and then launch an attack.

But on the other hand, that’s all there is to it. She attacked Code, but she didn’t commit a crime like Biker and his group. Well, in the outside world, attacking a city makes you a criminal, but Code is an exception.

Hmm, what should I do? Normally I wouldn’t consider making reckless people who attacked a city my Royal Guards companions, but she looks just like Eliza. I am not a demon either. Finding a look-alike of my friend and not freeing her when I can that would be very, very…… Moreover, even their names are look-alike.

When I am hesitating, the staff member speaks to me.

“Apparently, you are curious about her. Her accomplices are also incarcerated. Would you like to check them too?” (Prison Staff Member)

“I will check them out just in case.” (Cry)

Elise Peck’s companion. I would be lying if I said I am not interested in who they are. I only want to free Elise, but it is not like I can do that just for her.

The staff member guides me without a single complaint.

And when I see the criminal at the head of the path I am led to, I am truly at a loss for words.

A Magi with eyes bright red probably due to crying for a while and hair all messy and unkempt as she sobs tears. An Alchemist lying on the ground with a sulky expression on her face, and a Thief lying on the back with her stomach exposed, clearly pretending to be dead.

And then, at the moment a red-haired young man with glasses sees me, he jumps towards the glass but is then blown against the wall as if he bounced off something.

The Magi, Rusha Andrichhi. The Alchemist, Kutry Smyart, the 《Lowest Mountain Range (Saitei Sanmyaku)》, and the Thief, Elizabeth Smyart, the 《Absolute View (Zekkei)》, who is apparently called Zuri by her friends. And while it is not entirely clear whether he is a swordsman or not, he does seem to be a brainy guy, the cool and awesome guy, Kool Saiko, the 《Foresight (Senken)》. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The people there are――The members of Kryhi Andrichhi’s Party, 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》, whom I had met at the “Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)”.

Lucia’s look-alike, Rusha opens her eyes wide for a moment when she sees me, then immediately begins to cry loudly, with no shame or dignity whatsoever. Kutry stares at me in shock, while Zuri remains dead and unaware of me. And Kool Saiko is *bikubiku* twitching like a dying caterpillar, staring right at me.

………… It has been a while, guys.

That means…… The Leader imprisoned in the lowest level is Kryhi, huh. I have no idea how it had come to this, but he certainly has the power to attack Code. Someone give him the Level 9.

The staff member asks in an irritated tone as I *un, un* nod in agreement at the unexpected situation.

“So, what should we do? They are a group with an overall rating of 25 to 70, so those ones are neither good nor bad, but their Leader is a dangerous man. There is no reason to use them given their low rating. If we were to release them, I can recommend you other criminals.” (Prison Staff Member)

“Before that, there is something I am a bit curious about…… Just to be sure, I want to confirm one thing――” (Cry)

“?? What is it?” (Prison Staff Member)

I point to Kryhi’s friends, who are looking at me with a variety of expressions on their faces, and ask the staff member for confirmation.

“Are these all their companions? Isn’t there one more person besides the Leader?” (Cry)

Where’s the Anthem look-alike?

§

When I told the staff member I wanted to release them, she, who had warned me so many times, immediately began the procedure. She must have felt that something was weird when Kool and the others’ reactions changed as soon as they saw me, but she didn’t ask me any questions or check anything.

The staff member, maybe sensing something about my discomfort mood, begins to speak to me while operating the terminal.

“The release of criminals is a citizen’s right recognized by the city system. We have no right to stop it. If we tried to stop it, it would be considered that the staff broke the city rules, and we would be punished. Of course, if there was a little more difference in rank between you and me, I could have forced you to act.” (Prison Staff Member)

“That’s extreme.” (Cry)

“People from outside often say that Code’s system is strange. It’s a feeling that those of us born in this city don’t understand. However, I am allowed some freedom in areas that don’t involve the regulations. The warning I gave you earlier falls into that category.” (Prison Staff Member)

The glass in the room where Kool and the others are locked up changes color, making it impossible to see inside. They may be preparing to leave the room.

I see…… So even though it seems like we are controlled by the system, there is a certain amount of freedom.

It seems that this staff member is pretty fair. Or rather, maybe…… She just has a lot of free time. The system is probably doing all her work after all.

I decide to check with her, even though I don’t think it will work.

“What do I have to do to free the Leader who is trapped on the lowest level?” (Cry)

“You can apply for release with the authority of a Class 6 or above. Even if you meet the conditions, I don’t recommend you to apply――” (Prison Staff Member)

Jean-san and Olivia-san are Class 5, if I remember correctly. It seems that saving Kryhi will not be easy.

Well, of course, it is not going to be easy to release someone who has attacked the city from the outside and caused some damage.

Thanks for reading! Let’s gooooo! Strange Freaks the return! An overall rating between 25 to 70, huh. Not bad for impostors But them being here can only mean one thing… Everything is Just according to keikaku!
