Chapter 400.1: Captive Lightning Emperor ⑤

“………… The release request has been approved. Kryhi Andrichhi will be released.” (Staff Member)

It seems that my application was approved. I thought there was a good chance it wouldn’t be approved…… So why on earth did Nora-san have such a hard time with this?

Kool and the others cheer while I still don’t quite understand what is going on. Nora-ojou stands by the wall, watching the whole thing in silence.

Apparently the rooms on the bottom floor and the top floors are treated differently. Kryhi, who was locked in a cell, was in a terrible state. His hands and feet were chained together and he was hanging in the middle of the room, wearing only a pair of underwear and nothing else. His body, which is well-trained for a Magi, was covered in wounds that looked painful.

However, his eyes still retain the same sparkle he had when he was outside.

I wait in front of the opaque door for a while. It didn’t take a long time.

The door gently slides open.

The last time I saw him was during the “Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)”, huh.

The master of Lightning Magic. My real one, Kryhi Andrichhi, the 《Infinite Heavenly Flowers (Senten Banka)》, strides out the door with a dignified attitude and speaks in a lively voice that makes it hard to believe he has been chained up just a few minutes earlier.

“I don’t really understand what is going on, but…… It seems like you have saved Kool and everyone else, Cry. Thank you.” (Kryhi)

“I didn’t do much. The main characters who were doing things were Kool and the others.” (Cry)

Kool and the others look at me in surprise, but…… This isn’t humility, okay. I seriously didn’t do anything. I was just eating chocolate with Ohii-sama.

In terms of workload, I don’t think I even worked a tenth of what Kool and the others did. No, really.

“I see…… Thanks for looking after me, Kool, Zuri, Kutry, Rusha, and Elise.” (Kryhi)

“Kryhi-san, it is only natural for us to do this. However, I wish you would have the discretion to consider retreating if you are in a pinch.” (Kool)

Kool *kuikui* lifts his glasses frequently and says to Kryhi.

Discretion…… Un, un, that’s important, right…… But it is pointless, you know. I have said the same thing to my friends multiple times, but heroes are the kind of people who don’t listen to such words.

Nora-san doesn’t respond. She remains silent and watches the exchange. I was surprised when she gave up her turn to apply for release, but apparently――Something has changed in her.

*Yareyare* Good grief, I don’t know what is happening, but I am glad it somehow managed to work out.

“For now, we have achieved our goal, so let’s go back. We will think about the rest later.” (Cry)

§

With the staff member’s guidance, I return to the ground from the lowest level together with Kryhi and the others.

“The release application procedure has already been completed. You may return home as is. I will guide you to the exit.” (Staff Member)

“Thank you. I’ll be back.” (Cry)

“………… This is just my personal opinion…… Please don’t come here again.” (Staff Member)

The staff member says something harsh with a tired look on her face.

Even though I didn’t work that hard, I am feeling a bit tired. When we get back to the building, let’s have a second snack of the day with Kryhi and the others.

With such thoughts in mind, I leave the prison building.

And then――An ear-splitting siren rings throughout the prison.

I quickly check my surroundings. I see Kryhi flipping his cloak and getting ready for battle.

We-Well, well, calm down. This is a prison, remember? Even if there is an attack, the prison guards will be able to deal with it.

I ask the staff member who is checking the terminal with a pale face.

“Officer-san, what’s wrong with, this?” (Cry)

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

“………… It’s a prison break. You’ve been had.” (Nora)

Thanks for reading! Finally Kryhi, the “real one” is free. Now what next for Strange Freak? Also… It’s a traaaaap! What is happening!? Let the first Infinite Trial begin!
