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

………… I gave you everything I had, so now I can only laugh. Ohii-sama, you love chocolate too much.

“There are no more. She said there are no more. Fufufufu…………” (Cry)

“Hh………… There is, no man, in this Code, who has disparaged this Nora Code, as much as you have! I have never seen, a man as incompetent, as you! No, something must have been missing in your brain for you to think about saving the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 …… To think I handed over the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 to such a man…… I can never forgive my past self!” (Nora)

“N-Nora-sama, please stay calm…… It is bad for your health! Listening to the words of a man like this――” (Knight)

The knight approaches Nora-san, who is growling with a red face but is shaken off. It might be best to leave this place quickly before her anger reaches its limit.

“I will go back now.” (Cry)

“What did you come here for! Dammit! I can’t forgive myself for even thinking of meeting you! Even though I am busy preparing for the battle for the throne!” (Nora)

“The battle for the throne…………?” (Cry)

What’s with this strange expression? Seeing me with wide eyes, Nora-san sits down on her throne as if she is tired.

“………… Even I don’t have the energy to explain further. Get lost already. Next time you come…………… Bring the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 with you.” (Nora)

What you are saying is completely incoherent…… Oh well, whatever.

It is important to know what to prioritize. Nora-san doesn’t seem to be imprisoned, so it is fine if she is the last one to be protected. I will let Kaiser and Saya know about that when we meet up.

I never thought I would use my legs to gather information, but I guess I have at least the awareness that I am a Level 8 Hunter, too.

As I stand up, a sudden thought occurs to me, so I ask Nora-san.

“Now that I think about it, if we actually have chocolate, does that mean we can somehow manage to manufacture it?” (Cry)

I am asking because it might be possible that I will meet someone other than Nora-san who can use the system, and there is also a chance that Ohii-sama might be able to use it. I am really reliable today. I am able to check what needs to be checked at the right time. This is how a hired Treasure Hunter properly works. I wonder when was the last time I was this reliable (Self-praise).

That makes me a little tired now.

“………… Who knows? I can only say that it depends on the item. From what I can tell, it’s not on the list so it seems like it can’t be made at the moment…… But if we have the resources, there’s a chance it could be made, somehow.” (Nora)

Nora-san sits down on the throne with a thud and explains the procedure with a tired look on her face.

“Just that, it was the first King of Code who created the infrastructure we live in today. After activating the 『City Seed』, the first King of Code used the “Royal Decree (Grand Code)” to create a fortress city with a system that could accommodate a large number of people. The resources that Code generates as standard was decided by the first King of Code…… So it’s possible that even the authority of a Class 8 would not be able to counter it. There are a few unnatural aspects to Code’s city system that even a Class 8 cannot do anything about………… Anyway, only the King can do something about the core functionality of Code.” (Nora)

I listen to Nora-san’s story while *un, un* nodding in agreement.

I see, I see…… There are a lot of words I don’t understand, but I guess there is only one important point.

If you are the King of Code, you can make chocolate bars. That’s it!!

The question is whether the King of Code, who is apparently imprisoned, is allowed to do something like that, but well, I guess it is free to just ask him to try. Ohii-sama is his daughter and was allowed to send chocolates to him. So maybe if she asks, she will get it.

“Thank you for the useful information. I will let Ohii-sama know right away!” (Cry)

Oh right, I forgot to check one thing. Just to be sure, I check with Nora-san before leaving.

“That’s right, there is one last thing I want to ask…… I am looking for someone called Kaiser and Saya. Do you know them?” (Cry)

Thanks for reading! Haha Cry just went to Nora’s place, provoked her, and then dropped a hint on Kaiser and Saya.
