Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~-Chapter 435.2: Jin’s Case

The mission will finally be over, huh. It was a really long one.

After three days of preparation, the doors to the Royal Tower, which had been closed, opened. I, “Sword Tail (Kenbi)”, watch the whole scene from the rooftop of the tallest building in the area.

From this point on, we will be allowed to enter the King’s Area. From there on, whoever first obtains the King’s Royal Staff at the top of the Royal Tower will become the next King. It is a simple rule for such an advanced city.

Jin has already deployed his entire army.

Having inherited the foundations of the former Angus army, Jin’s military strength is overwhelming. In addition, the area Jin controls is a wide area facing the entrance to the Royal Tower――The most advantageous location.

A rumbling sound can be heard from far away. Taking advantage of his advantageous initial position, he plans to mobilize his entire army as soon as the area is released and as soon as the battle begins, surround the Royal Tower and obstruct Alisha and her companions’ movements.

Of course, the other party would understand this as well.

The sound of gunfire begins to be heard here and there. The streets begin to stir, and screams echo throughout the city. Someone from the Royal Family must be using the city system to move the city and obstruct the movements of Jin’s army.

All the citizens are holding their breath for fear of being drawn into the war.

The atmosphere in a war is always the best.

But, at that moment, a communication came in that dampened my mood.

『Kenbi, where are you? It is time to fight.』 (Jin)

“I’m coming now, Ou-sama.” (Kenbi)

What a worrisome king. I sigh, kick off the roof, and leap toward the Royal Tower.

§

The army that Jin has assembled is truly astonishingly large. Is he showing off his fighting power…… Even the 『Fox (Kitsune)』 will use any means necessary to complete a mission, but this isn’t at that level.

There is no one in the area around the Royal Tower. The rest of the Royal Family must have been advancing as soon as the area was liberated…… The fact that he is proceeding without any hindrance shows that nothing unexpected has happened.

Looking at the tough-looking men surrounding him, I look at him and check with him.

“Ou-sama, you have brought a lot of soldiers with you. Aren’t you planning to use them to stop the other side’s army?” (Kenbi)

“It is just to be safe, don’t worry about them. Besides, I left enough of them behind to stop Nora’s Knight Order.” (Jin)

Jin’s army, which took over from Angus’ army, is made up almost entirely of mercenaries. Mercenaries and mimic soldiers, artificial human beings created to mimic the mercenaries.

The small man walking next to me says as if he is trying to threaten me.

“We, want to kill that man, kill 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 too! There are a lot of people here, like us, the Dontan family, who have a grudge against 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. Right?” (Dontan)

“Woooooooooooh!” (Army)

The army roars at the small man’s words.

I see, it is for a personal grudge, huh…… 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 has incurred a lot of resentment. And so, they jumped at the opportunity to surround him with a large group of people.

There is a limit to how much of a small fries they can be, but well, I guess they can serve as shields against bullets, huh.

As I walk along the deserted road, I reach the center of Code. The Royal Tower comes into view.

It is the tallest building I have ever seen. It is pitch black as if it is mourning for the king, and so tall that I cannot see the top even when I look up.

Just as expected, there is no one around the Royal Tower. The entrance in front of us is wide open.

There is nothing inside the open door. Just a wide open space. Jin looks inside and says to me.

“Seal off the entrance. This is the only entrance to the Royal Tower. Don’t let even a rat in.” (Jin)

“Understood. Don’t you need an escort?” (Kenbi)

“No need. Only the next king is allowed to enter this tower.” (Jin)

If that is the king’s will, then there is nothing I can say.

――There, I draw my sword.

I cut down the 『Lightning』 that comes rushing on the ground toward me. Some of the surrounding army is blown away from the aftershock.

They are much faster than I have imagined. They probably rushed over in a small number, leaving behind their army that was slowing them down. That has to be the case.

I *perori* lick my lips and shout at Jin who has stiffened.

“Go now. Next time I see you, you’ll be king, Jin-ouji.” (Kenbi)
