Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~
Chapter 428.1: Tony's CaseWe stayed overnight at Nora-san’s base. Ohii-sama was also very popular in Nora-san’s area. After all, Ohii-sama is cheerful and friendly and doesn’t have the intimidating aura that Nora-san has. I think she may be the second most popular princess I have ever met, after Serene.
And by interacting with the outside world, I feel like Ohii-sama’s condition seems to be improving. After all, she might have been feeling unfulfilled when she was being imprisoned.
Before we leave, Nora-san goes out of her way to the front of the building to see us off.
“You can come again when you feel like it. You can even stay for a longer period of time. It will be a good stimulus for you.” (Nora)
“Thank you, Nora Onee-sama!” (Alisha)
Ohii-sama thanks her with tears in her eyes. I was worried about what would happen when she threw a tantrum, but after spending the night catching up (Although it seems like yesterday was the first time they had met), it seems like they have built a good relationship.
“I’m leaving Alisha to you, 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, Kuubi. Although I don’t think there will be any problems in Tony’s area…… Alisha is in a special position. There’s no guarantee that there won’t be any scoundrels.” (Nora)
“Don’t worry, Nora. With the three of us, your Imouto is the safest in Code.” (Kryhi)
Kryhi laughs with enthusiasm while Kuubi snorts in boredom. Then Nora-san looks at me as if she has just remembered something.
“By the way, Cry. You, do you recognize this person?” (Nora)Nora-san *pachin* snaps her fingers and an image appears in the air.
What is shown in the image is――A large man wearing a creepy mask attacking Nora-san’s knights.
My eyes are unintentionally drawn to this sight. It may sound strange, but his unique, dance-like footwork has a strange charm――A compelling force that naturally draws my eyes toward him.
Nora-san’s knights *batabata* fall one after the other with almost no resistance.
Heck, the person in this image, is definitely Kaiser who came in Code with me. My eyes cannot be deceived by a mask.
“Yes, I do. It is Kaiser. He is the strongest dancer who has saved many countries with his Tempest Dancing.” (Cry)
“Dan…… Cer……?” (Nora)
Please don’t ask me. Even I am a little skeptical too, but this is certainly a dance.
“He is someone sent by Angus. He is being manipulated by the mask. I never thought that the enhanced knights I trained would be defeated without being able to resist. He will likely be our greatest enemy.” (Nora)
Manipulated by the mask…………? I open my eyes at these words.
When I turn my eyes to the image again, I see a large number of thugs appearing at the spot where the knights have fallen and carrying them somewhere.
*Fumufumu*, I see. This is――.
“Don’t worry, Nora-san. He is not being manipulated.” (Cry)
“What!?” (Nora)
A Level 8 Hunter is a hero. There are quite a few demons among the Phantoms that manipulate people, so he should have perfect resistance to brainwashing.
“He is just pretending to be manipulated. Look, the proof is that not a single person has died. If Kaiser was serious, not a single person would be alive.” (Cry)
“Hmmmm………………” (Nora)
Nora-san groans with a semi-convinced, semi-disbelief expression on her face. To be honest, I don’t know what Kaiser’s intentions were in attacking Nora-san’s Knight Orders, but I guess it was a necessary act to protect Angus-ouji. Even if I make a naive estimation, Kaiser and Saya should be a hundred times better at doing their jobs than me, so there is nothing to worry about. ṜАℕồᛒЕŝ
“Well, leave it all to me. Let the experts handle it.” (Cry)
“………… Who, on earth are you?” (Nora)
Nora-san sighs deeply.
I cannot say right now. But you will know soon. We are already counting down the days from completing their protection (Randomly guessing). Let’s go sightseeing in the next area before everything is settled.

Thanks for reading! Is Kaiser really still controlled by the mask or is it as Cry said and he is just acting as if he is being controlled by the mask!? The mystery remains…
