Chapter 918: Chapter 422.2: Zachary's Case ②

Zachary-san’s threatening voice causes a stir in the surroundings. Ohii-sama’s eyes widen and Kool and his friends gasp.

There is no point in being intimidated. I straighten my back and give a badass smile.

I have Kryhi here with me. And because Ohii-sama is here, the Royal Guard Mechanized Soldiers are here. I even have my Barrier Rings.

“I won’t be a bad thing for you. Even the casualties would be much lower than in Zachary-san’s operation.” (Cry)

“………… What will happen to Alisha and me in that plan of yours?” (Zachary)

*Yareyare* Good grief, what is he talking about? It was Zachary, the client, who came up with the plan to protect and take all the members of the Royal Family, who have the authority to operate the city system, outside.

The Explorer Association will be in charge of what happens to them after they are taken outside, but it won’t be that bad. After all, they will be under their 『Protection』.

I *chirari* glance over at Ohii-sama, whose eyes are wide, and carefully choose my words.

“Well, the future is up to you guys…… But I think you will get to see a much bigger world. A much bigger world than this Code.” (Cry)

“…………” (Zachary)

“!! Zachary Onii-sama, Alisha wants to see a bigger world-desu! Zachary Onii-sama!” (Alisha)

Zachary-san is quiet. Ohii-sama immediately grabs his arm and 『Begs』 while shaking him.

No well, it is me who chose words that I thought Ohii-sama would like to hear, but aren’t you a bit too selfish?

Zachary Onii-sama has a serious look on his face while his whole body is being shaken, but eventually, he sighs deeply.

“………… Very well. I’m willing to go along with your plan. Even with the power of the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, our strategy has a low chance of success…… I don’t mind dying if it means I can give them a painful lesson, but I can’t drag my Imouto into it.” (Zachary)

“”Your Highness Zachary (Zachary-denka)”?” (Man)

The other people in his group are abuzz at the sound of his strained voice. Zachary-san removes his hand from Ohii-sama who is still shaking him and looks at me with a frown.

“But now is not the time to make the final decision. It will only be after confirming your plan first. If it looks like it will fail, we will take action ourselves. You are not royalty. If you want to go through our way, show us your strength.” (Zachary)

“Just what I was hoping for.” (Cry)

Show us your strength, you say? Who are you talking to?

The ones carrying out the keikaku are Level 8. Heroes who have stepped into the realm as close to the top as possible in this golden age of Treasure Hunters.

To think he wouldn’t know the 《Celestial Dancer (Hagun Tenbu)》 and the 《Little Witch (Yaen Saiden)》, being ignorant of the world truly is a frightening thing. Well, he probably didn’t say anything considering that he was being watched, but…… Zachary will soon find out the true power of High-level Hunters.

§

We spend the night at Zachary-san’s place and then head off to our next destination.

My next destination is Nora-san’s place. I have already been there once, and I know people there, like Zaza and the others, so it should be safe. I am sure Ohii-sama will be able to enjoy the arena, which I didn’t enjoy very much. This time I am taking Kryhi with me so Nora-san will probably be in a good mood.

It seems that Ohii-sama has become quite close with Zachary-san’s friends after just one night’s stay as they are surrounding her.

“Ohii-sama, please be careful.” (Man 1)

“Please come back anytime. “His Highness Zachary (Zachary-denka)” is kind as long as Ohii-sama is here.” (Man 2)

Some are in tears and others are shaking Ohii-sama’s hands. Their expressions look as if they are saying their final goodbye, so Ohii-sama looks a little troubled.

“Alisha. If you ever get tired of your current situation, come to me anytime. I’ll shelter you.” (Zachary)

Finally, Zachary-san says as he looks down at Ohii-sama. When I first met him, I got the impression that he was a typical thug with bloodshot eyes, but now it seems like his mood has softened a little bit.

“Thank you very much, Zachary Onii-sama. However, Alisha is still a member of the Royal Family, so I won’t abandon my position.” (Alisha)

“………… I see. Oi, Cry. My Imouto…… Please take care of her.” (Zachary)

Says Zachary-san as he glares at me. How should I put it, it feels like…… If it is him, it would be a piece of cake to get him to call her 『My Very Kawaii Imouto Alisha-chan』. I also doted on Lucia when she became my Imouto, but looking at it objectively, this is how I looked like, huh…… I have gained some new knowledge.

However, Alisha-chan’s character has changed thanks to Rusha’s input.

I get into the Spider I have summoned outside the building. This time, since we are in a large group consisting of Ohii-sama, the members of 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》 and me, I called two Spiders.

Ohii-sama’s eyes light up when she sees the Spiders that have been called. She had ridden it on the way to Zachary-san’s building yesterday, but it seems that knowing what they are and riding one is not the same.

Ohii-sama, who is swaying along with the Spider and gazing out the window, asks.

“Cry…… Where are we going today?” (Alisha)

“At Nora-san’s place. See, she is the one who made the enhancement accessories and supplements I gave you as souvenirs.” (Cry)

“Aaah…… This?” (Alisha)

Alisha lifts her bangs and touches her forehead. There is a *kachiri* click, and when she removes her hands from her forehead, she is holding something like a pendant――It is the enhancement accessory I have given her as a souvenir.

………… Heeeh, so enhancement accessories are something you wear on your head. I was told to just think about it to wear it, but when I did, I was repelled, so it doesn’t really concern me…… But heck, you are going to wear it! It is not noticeable at all when you are wearing it.

“It enters the head and lays special neuronal pathways throughout the body to improve physical abilities.” (Alisha)

“………… Isn’t that dangerous?” (Cry)

“…… If there was any danger, I would have been repelled. Code’s technology takes safety into consideration.” (Alisha)

I see, I see, I was repelled, huh. Code’s technique, awesome. Ohii-sama places the enhancement accessory on her forehead once more. The next moment, she removes her hand from her forehead and the accessory has vanished from sight. Ohii-sama has no hesitation in using unknown techniques, you have so much guts.

“Those ability-enhancing supplements too………… I think the person who made them is quite amazing. Although I feel like they may have been a bit reckless and used too many resources……” (Alisha)

Come to think of it, you were taking the supplements with your meals, didn’t you. She was delighted when she received the broken small Spider, so maybe Ohii-sama would be happy no matter what she received.

“Buuut is it really alright to take Onii-chan to Nora-ojou’s hooouse? I, am not really good with people like heeer.” (Rusha)

“I don’t think she likes us that much either.” (Kool)

Says Rusha and Kool, who are riding on the Spider with us.

“That’s not true. One way or another, she was considerate and accommodating, so I don’t think she is a bad person at heart. In the end, she came to terms with Kryhi’s case and gave up on him…… Although I don’t know why tho’.” (Cry)

Also, you guys seem to have forgotten, but Nora-san is one of the people I have to protect. Kaiser and Saya are the main characters for the requests, but since I have the time anyway, I should see her.

“I, would like to meet her. Nora Onee-sama.” (Alisha)

“But, I think that the begging I taught you is counterproductive on that person.” (Rusha)

Rusha, you are quite calculating, aren’t you. But I am not too worried about Ohii-sama.

For someone who has been imprisoned for so long and has almost no communication with the outside world, Ohii-sama is doing well. And there is no point in thinking about things that won’t go well, so let’s stay positive.

Thanks for reading! Cry took up the challenge and will show Zachary his perfect Keikaku! And looks like Alisha is not a weak girl. So was able to equip the enhancement accesory that rejected Cry. But well it is not like Cry needed that because Master~ wa kami!
