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

“Now that I think about it, you made a promise to me too. If I could free Kuubi, I wonder whaaaat it was again…” (Cry)

“!! That’s right…… Nora-sama, breaking your promise would be a disgrace to your good name.” (Knight)

“Hh………… Guuuh…… Muuuh………… You bastard, why are you, so fussy about what I call her!?” (Nora)

No, it is fine anyway, I don’t really care about it anymore………… It doesn’t seem like she is calling her a spare anymore. Even though I look like this, I have an Imouto too, so there was some time when I thought of calling her like that. But, however, even if I say she can forget about it, the people around her don’t seem to want to.

Nora-san is overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the surrounding knights who keep saying  『Kawaii Alisha-chan』. Then, Kryhi and Kuubi, who have been missing, return.

“Well, I’ll be damn, this guy is a sore-loser……” (Kryhi)

“Shut it. You are the one who kept running!” (Kuubi)

The two Super-Magi are arguing as they come in. Nora-san’s face switches from being embarrassed to a serious one as she sees Kuubi.

“Cry, it certainly looks like the negotiations were successful. Kuubi…… I have seen your face before in the prison, haven’t I?” (Nora)

“Hm………… So you are 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 『Current owner』, huh?” (Kuubi)

Kuubi crosses his arms and *jirojiro* stares at Nora-san with a rude look.

“Well, I don’t care whoever it is. As long as I can kill that “Sword Tail (Kenbi)”. I will cooperate with you as much as you want.” (Kuubi)

“”Sword Tail (Kenbi)”――The woman who brought you here, huh………… Fine. That woman has ingratiated herself with Angus. Our goals seem to be the same. I doubt Angus would think that the sealed target would come to my side.” (Nora)

Eyes and eyes collide as Kuubi and Nora-san look at each other. Even though it would have been fine if they took it easy and lived more comfortably……

Then, at that moment, Ohii-sama, who has her eyes tightly closed, steps in between them. She looks at the startled Nora-san and Kuubi and she puffs out her cheeks.

“Wait, a second! Nora Onee-sama isn’t Cry’s owner! I, am the owner of Cry! If you have some business with Cry, you should talk to me first!” (Alisha)

“!? What are you talking about, Alisha! It’s true that Cry is your Royal Guard, but, it is not like we are talking about that right n――” (Nora)

I’m a stray cat named Cry who has no one to look after me. If I had to choose one owner…… I think it would be Eva. If you want to be my owner, I want you to do as much for me as Eva does first, okay?

Kuubi frowns, looks at Ohii-sama, and says.

“Then, are you saying that you have the strength to have me cooperate with you?” (Kuubi)

“Hh…… Nora Onee-sama, said, if it was me, I could have been the king!” (Alisha)

“…… I only said that you are better than Angus. But unfortunately, you have no power. Rest assured, Alisha. When I take the throne, I will set you free. No――As my Imouto, I will give you the rank of a great noble――Class 7. How about that?” (Nora)

………… No, my mission is to protect you, the family that can operate Code and help you escape, tho’?

As I am confused by Nora-san and the others who are starting to talk about something I don’t really understand, Ohii-sama grabs my arm and shouts.

“Cry is my Royal Guard! Cry is the one who found the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, and Kuubi! So they are mine!” (Alisha)

Nora-san says in a troubled voice to Alisha who suddenly starts to say something selfish and incomprehensible.

“Alright, alright, Alisha. It is as you said. Then, when I succeed to the throne, I’ll give you Cry. How’s that sound? Don’t be selfish.” (Nora)

“Uhhh, uhhh……” (Alisha)

Maybe still not convinced, Ohii-sama groans and looks at Nora-san and me with teary eyes. I don’t really understand what is going on, but this is very troubling. Then Ohii-sama opens her eyes wide and cries as if she has just thought of something brilliant.

“I know, Nora Onee-sama! The promise earlier for winning the race! Please give me the throne!” (Alisha)

Thanks for reading! Cry knows that his true owner is Eva! So now Nora has 2 promises to keep: Give the throne to Alisha and call her My Very Kawaii Imouto XD
