Chapter 401.1: Strange Freak Wants to Retire

――And so, we crawled our way back to Ohii-sama’s building.

The battle of Kryhi VS Code’s interception system was more spectacular than I expected and ended faster than I imagined.

Kryhi Andrichhi’s Magic proved to be extremely effective against Code’s security system. As Kryhi transformed into lightning, all of the prison’s weapons, including the mechanized soldiers, were blown away with just a touch, rendering them unable to fight. The countless turrets stopped functioning without even opening fire.

Most of the buildings in this city are made of metal, so Kryhi has discharged Lightning Magic into the ground with all his might. Then, the lightning spread over a wide area, incapacitating everyone there (Including Kool, his friends and the staff member) except for me (Who had Barrier Rings) and Kryhi.

Maybe he deserved to be caught? Kryhi was so overwhelming that such a thought even crossed his mind for a moment.

This is definitely the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》.

There are probably only two ways to defeat Kryhi with Code’s weaponry. Either by surprise or by sheer numbers.

Even after destroying the weapons that were there, the prison’s weapons continued to be deployed endlessly, but after Kryhi had been dealing with them for a while, the reinforcements suddenly stopped at one point.

Nora-san must have rewritten the rules. She seemed quite passionate, but she may not be a bad person after all (Although that may be because of Kryhi).

I wondered what would happen when weapons were activated…… But in the end, all of the prison’s security devices that were activated were destroyed, and our casualties were almost zero――Just Kool and the others, who were lying on the ground and twitching.

He was strong before, but as Kryhi said, his abilities seem to have improved since then. Even though Luke had taken his staff away from him…… Kryhi was just too strong.

As for Kool and the others who fell to the ground and convulsed, they were obviously used to this happening. Lightning Magic is known to be particularly difficult to control. No, I guess he had it under control to a certain extent as the Kool, his friends, and the staff member are still alive――.

Looking up at me, who was calm thanks to the power of the Barrier Rings, Kool spoke coolly while twitching.

“It’s, the usual, so, don’t worry, about it. My glasses, are also, insulated. Elise, will heal, us, once she, recovers.” (Kool)

“You guys are having a hard time too……” (Cry)

All I could do was give such a trivial comment.

§

Ohii-sama welcomes the newly brought-home Kryhi with great excitement and registers him as one of her Royal Guards.

The man she is meeting is a man who has been imprisoned for serious offenses in Code, but that doesn’t seem to matter to Ohii-sama. Rather, she seems to be happy that more people are coming to her door.

In terms of generosity, there is no doubt that Ohii-sama is fitter to be a king than Nora-ojou.

Although Kryhi looks *boriboro* battered, he recovers remarkably quickly. Apparently, his punishment was a desperate measure to reduce his strength and enormous amount of energy. This highly advanced physical civilization most likely had not anticipated a human being who could freely control lightning.

And this time, I am apparently really on a roll.

There were many troubles, but releasing Kryhi will definitely help us complete the request. His combat ability is undoubtedly top-notch, not inferior to Kaiser and Saya. I doubt he will be of any direct use in protecting the Royal Family, but he should be fine as an escort.

That means――I will be able to freely go sightseeing in Code.

Thanks for reading! Here’s an extra chapter thanks to Maidenless Tarnished! Easy win for Kryhi and Kool insulating his glasses, you Shinpachi or what, XD! No character said it but Cry’s attitude toward Nora is not one toward a royalty but more like an acquaintance or a friend. Sasuga Cry, royalty is nothing in front of a god!
