Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 412.1: Sightsee ③

The rides available in Code――The Spider’s speed is incomparable to a carriage. Moving in three dinsions can be surprising if you are not used to it, but there is almost no shaking and it is quite comfortable. The Spider moves as if it is flying and stops dead in a certain spot. It seems to have arrived in Nora-san’s area.

I check the 3D map. I still haven’t fully grasped the geography of Code, but Nora-san’s area seems to be much closer to the center than Ohii-sama’s area. Even in the Imperial Capital, the area where the nobles’ mansions stand is located towards the center of the city. Maybe it is the sa in every era, the powerful live in the center of the city.

Last ti I went directly to the building where Nora-san was, so this is the first ti I am taking my ti to take a look at the streetscape. Nora-san’s area is pretty much the sa as other places. Buildings, buildings and building――If I have to say one difference, I would say that the spacing between the buildings is tighter than Ohii-sama’s area.

The roads are just wide enough for one Spider to pass through, but not wide enough for two of them to pass each other. The distances between buildings are also narrow. Co to think of it, on the way to Nora-san’s building, it seems like the Spider spent more ti running on the walls than on the ground.

The area seems a bit cramped, but unlike near Ohii-sama’s building, I can see people here and there. I get off the Spider and fearfully take my first step, entering Nora-san’s area. There is no sign of anyone attacking . I guess I was just unlucky earlier.

Before I start sightseeing, I suddenly think that I should check how many Barrier Rings I have left. Then, I frown.

“Seriously………… That’s troubleso.” (Cry)

Every single one of my Barrier Rings has been used. Not a single one is left. It seems that the swordswoman’s attacks really stopped at the last second. I don’t know if I have good luck or bad luck…… Having so many lives is an advantage, but now that advantage is gone.

If I get poked now I will die. I am not saying that I want to recharge all of them, I just want to recharge so of them as quickly as possible. In the Imperial Capital, there are many Magi who make a living by recharging Relics with their Magic (Although I am banned from those places). If only there is a Magi sowhere in this city who can recharge them for ――.

I look back at the chanized soldiers who co down from the Spider with and give them so instructions just in case.

“Just so you know, if anyone attacks, I ask that you suppress them as non-lethally as possible. It is not like I ca here to wage war or anything, okay.” (Cry)

I do not intend to fight Nora-san. No, I do not intend to fight anyone. I just want――To do a little sightseeing. If I wasn’t so unlucky I wouldn’t be so sensitive about things like this.

“And――This ti, if there is any danger approaching, co to my aid imdiately. Imdiately, you understand.” (Cry)

Part of the chanized soldier’s face flashes a few tis, as if in acknowledgnt. I understand that they are faithful to their duties, but their gestures are sohow very――Bland. They are the polar opposite of Luke and the others, who are fun to be with even if they are not very faithful to their duties. Maybe if you add them together and divide by 2, it will be just right.

I shrug my shoulders, take a deep breath, and walk toward Nora-san’s area, where the buildings are densely packed.

“A store? Again…… Recently, people from outside have been asking about it a lot, but we don’t have anything like that. The system provides everything we need.” (Mob 1)

“Cooking? I haven’t heard that word in a long ti. Look, the city will provide whatever you want to eat here. Where does it get made? Do you need to know that?” (Mob 2)

“A Magi? Ah, I get it. Nii-san, you ca from outside, right? You can’t use Magic within Code.” (Mob 3)

“Chocolate? What’s…… That?” (Mob 4)

As I *burabura* wander around Nora-san’s area, I call out to the people I pass by. Their answers are generally sothing similar. If we go back a little, the inhabitants of Code should be pretty much the sa as , but it seems that Code has brought a unique lifestyle for the inhabitants as they are fully supported by the city system of an Advanced Physical Civilization.

As I take the chanized soldier with to ask questions, people look at as if they are looking at sothing strange, but answer my questions anyway.

You don’t have to worry about anything in your life even if you do nothing. Food, dical care, housing, everything is provided by the city system. What’s more, there is sothing that is very different from the outside world, there are no Hunters.

In this day and age, which is considered the golden age of Treasure Hunters, there is no city without Hunter――Treasure Hunters are the source of vitality for any city, bringing “Wealth (And occasional trouble)” from the outside. It may explain why this city is not very lively.

However, despite living in such a convenient city, no one seems to be slacking off. Everyone I see seem to be working out to a certain degree. If it were , I would have fallen into depravity in an instant, so I wonder what is different between them and . Motivation, perhaps?

Although I didn’t find what I was looking for… I see, this is interesting in its own way. Traveling the world and experiencing unusual customs is one of the joys of being a Treasure Hunter.

As I am walking along the edge of the road through the forest of buildings, *kyorokyoro* looking for anything interesting, I suddenly see a face pop out from the gap between the buildings on my right.

The person who appears is a girl around 10 years old. She is wearing short pants that look easy to move in and her whole body is quite tanned. Her arms and legs are still thin, but she seems to be quite physically active, and although her facial features and hair color are different, she sohow reminds of the childhood Liz. She has two stars on her chest.

The girl speaks with a vibrant smile, holding the terminal in one hand.

“Onii-chan, did you co from outside-no? What are you doing-no? 4 points? Is everyone from outside all weak like you-no1?” (Girl)

“………… It is not that I am weak. You guys are strong. I am just looking around to see if there is anything interesting.” (Cry)

No well, if you ask if I am weak, I am weak. Don’t tell I am going to be called 4 points the whole ti I am in Code? I wonder if I should do so more muscle training or sothing…… But even if I build up a little muscle, it is not like it is going to help in anything.

“Don’t you train-no? We all do, you know.” (Girl)

“What are you training for-no?” (Cry)

“Of course, it’s for Nora-sama’s sake! I’m going to train my body and beco an enhanced knight-no! And if I perform well, I’ll be promoted to a higher class-no! Everyone is working hard to join Nora-sama’s knight order, you know?” (Girl)

Her eyes are *kirakira* sparkling. I beca a noble without doing anything tho’…… An enhanced knight, huh? Even in the outside world, being a knight who served one’s country is a relatively popular occupation…… But what do knights in this country do? There are no foreign enemies, after all.

As I am thinking about such things, three figures fall from the sky. They are boys. Three boys each dress in sothing that looks easy to move around in. They dexterously rolled down the road to neutralize the impact, then used the sa montum to stand up.

I look up, but there is nowhere I can jump off from. My eyes widen in surprise. I don’t know where they ca from, but their breath is heavy, and hot air is rising from their exposed skin.

After the boys catch their breath, they approach the girl in the alley and start talking to her.

“Oi, what are you doing? Lulu. That person is a Class 6, you know? …… Although he seems to be from outside――” (Boy)

“It’s alright-no, Zaza. Because this Cry-san, is only 4 points-damon2!” (Lulu)

The girl says as she *chirachira* glances at the device hanging from her neck on a string. Is that a complint? It feels strange that soone I have just t knows my na. It might be too late to point this out, but there is really no privacy in this country. Then, the girl called Lulu suddenly speaks in a high-pitched voice, as if she has just thought of a good idea.

“I know! Onii-chan, you’re looking for sothing interesting, right? I’ll show you sothing great! Follow !” (Lulu)

“Eh?” (Cry)

Lulu bends down and jumps with all her might. She kicks the walls of the buildings on either side and *tontonton* climbs rhythmically upwards.

I am unexpectedly taken aback by her agility. If she had fallen, she would have been seriously injured, but there is no hesitation in her movents. It isn’t the kind of movent that can be achieved with half-hearted training. Well, Liz can do it. Tino and Luke can probably do it too. Sytry and Lucia can probably do it too tho’…… But, well, considering her age, there is no doubt that she has a promising future.

The boy called Zaza snorts like he is looking at a fool while I have a shocked expression.

“What’s with that weird look on your face? Really that is why outsiders are such outsiders………… Maybe no one from outside can do this, but we are training for Nora-sama, so sothing like this is normal.” (Zaza)

…… This is the first ti I hear the word outsider as an adverb, tho’.

They take small breaths. The boys all take off running, and just like Lulu, they start *pyonpyon* hopping up and climbing the wall. Amaaazing.

…… By the way, how am I supposed to follow them? I don’t even need to try, I know that moving like that, I cannot.

As I blink, one of the Royal chanized Soldier Guards I have with ――The green one puts its arms around from behind as if to hold up.

Before I can even think about what it is doing, the ground instantly becos far away.

It is moving at an incredible speed, comparable 『Night Hiker (Dark Wings of the Night Sky)』 one of the few flying Relics I have. I have never seen a flying chanized soldier in this city, but Ohii-sama, you have strengthened the chanized soldiers way too much.

The chanized soldier carrying jumps high into the sky and swoops down over the rooftop where the girl is. And just like this, right before crashing into the top of the building, it changes direction and switches into horizontal flight.

The ground is flowing at high speed in front of my eyes. I am dizzy from the violent movents. But strangely, I don’t feel any wind. It must have been cut using so kind of super technology. At this point, this chanized soldier has already surpassed my 『Night Hiker (Dark Wings of the Night Sky)』. It has no brakes and can only be used at night. I am even thinking about which one is more amazing between this and Car-kun, my 『Flying Carpet』.

The children who have been running nimbly across the top of the building widen their eyes as I catch up with them in an instant.

“!? Aweso! As expected from a Class 6, so they can move chanized soldiers like that!” (Zaza)

“I want a chanized soldier tooo! I want to fly in the sky!” (Lulu)

This is sothing I borrowed. I want one tooo! I don’t want to fly tho’!

Thanks for reading! Last ti Cry didn’t have any Barrier rings left was when he was facing the Kitsune Boss What kind of boss is he going to face this ti!? Also where are those kid taking Cry?
