Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Peace is always broken abruptly.

The news of his death came from the city system while I, Morris Code, am at my base, worrying for the first time in a long time about problems unrelated to my fear of death.

The news of the King’s demise is announced simultaneously through the city’s systems. But I am far more calm than I had expected, even though this message has given me nightmares until just a short time ago.

Who should I side with, should I take the throne, how can I avoid being killed, all these thoughts I have been pondering for so long finally came to a conclusion.

――I will side with Alisha.

Needless to say, the trigger for this decision is Alisha Code’s sightseeing tour, which she has been doing for the past few days.

I was monitoring her the whole time. Alisha really looked like she was enjoying herself while touring the city with her friends.

She didn’t resent her upbringing, nor did she curse the fate that awaited her in the future, which was far more tragic than mine, but she was truly happy to explore the city of Code. Seeing that smile, I felt ashamed of myself for living in hiding, afraid of my brother who would soon take the throne. And at the same time――I wanted to help Alisha.

If things continue as they were, she would be disposed of as soon as the battle for the throne begins. Although she has been released from confinement and irregularities have occurred, my Imouto will need some strength. And I have that strength.

A decisive weapon that I have been secretly researching and is already in the final stages of production.

It is a gigantic mechanized soldier that can be operated by humans.

It is over ten meters long. This weapon, which is created by using almost all of my Royal Family’s resources and is the only one of its kind, boasts exceptional performance. With this weapon, which is an impenetrable shield, the strongest sword, and the fastest wings, there is even a chance that it can blow away my brother’s carefully prepared security network and be the first to reach the Royal Tower.

I know I am not fit to be king. That is why I will not be the one to use this. It will be Alisha. If that Imouto of mine becomes king, no one will be disposed of and Code will be much more enjoyable.

The next question is how to get the weapon to Alisha. I have never even met her face to face.

Because Kenbi has driven out Alisha’s Royal Guard, Alisha hasn’t come to sightsee my area. Although even if she had, there isn’t anything particularly interesting in my area.

As I look up at the weapon that is nearly completed in the secret underground factory and wonder how to approach the matter, Kenbi――My current only human Royal Guard and a swordswoman with incredible skill arrives.

“Morris-ouji…… the King of Code has finally passed away.” (Kenbi)

“…… Aaah, of course I know. I have made up my mind too.” (Morris)

Unlike last time, this time the rules for the succession to the throne are known.

From this point on, the King’s Area will be closed and will reopen three days after the King’s death. The member of the Royal Family who obtains the staff at the top of the Royal Tower will become the next King.

Angus, Tony, and Nora are the only three people who have areas around the Royal Tower. Needless to say, the most powerful is the First Prince, Angus Code. Not only is Angus powerful, but his area is in the most advantageous position, bordering a wide area in front of the Royal Tower. It is likely that during the waiting period, my brother would deploy his forces over a wide area, preventing other members of the Royal Family from heading to the Royal Tower while at the same time preparing to march toward the tower.

Thanks for reading! Oooh so Morris was making a Megazord! Gogo Power Rangeeeer! But wait, now that Morris is also joining Alisha, Alisha just fulfilled Nora’s condition! Nora really likes to shoot herself in the foot, isn’t she… РАɴȪ฿ÊS
