Chapter 245 Great Sinner 3

Part 1

Franz-san and the Emperor’s cold gaze pierced my whole body.

I have no idea what is going on at all.

Apparently, I shouldn’t have it, but this is so confusing.

I want you to clearly start by saying something like “There is no way you have it but”.

I closed my eyes for a moment to calm myself and tried to recover from the situation.

“Maybe it is just a Relic that looks like it......” (Cry)

“Y-You bastard, are you trying to make fun of me? Hmm?” (Franz)

Franz-san came in front of me and looked down at me.

As he is appointed to the Imperial Guard by the Emperor, he is quite skilled. Although not as large as Anthem, he is quite large and he has a scary face, so if he pressed me, my body would take the Dogeza?position on its own.

However, I can’t take an attitude like that here. Even if I am like this, I am still 《Strange Grief’s (Nageki no Borei)》 Leader. There is a limit to how much of my pathetic side I can show.

They shouldn’t think, that having a Leader like this, 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》 isn’t worth much, but they should at least think, 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》 has it so hard because they are so skilled but their Leader is so useless......

...... Nothing is different compared to the usual, tho’?

I make a serious face and say.

“Don’t, get me wrong. I am not making fun of you, even I know when to do it or not. I will at least see who I am against when I do it. I am serious when I say this, you know.” (Cry)

I might be blind, but no matter how blind I am, I could at least tell the difference between a skilled person and an ordinary person.

A nobleman who has been entrusted to be the head of the Imperial Guard is surely an elite person. Who could make fun of Franz-san?

“!??? ??? ???” (Franz)

For some reason, Franz-san’s eyes blinked frequently and stared at me. His face is so busy, turning blue then red.

....... Hmmmmm?

And then, Sytry clapped her hands vigorously.

“Well, let’s put the jokes aside. You tease too much, Cry-san.” (Sytry)

“I see.” (Cry)

Apparently, like all the other magical creatures she created, she inputted a command to protect me.

Now is the perfect timing.

“Well, Franz-san, calm down. I did charge it, but you can’t blame me for doing it.” (Cry)

“!? Y-You did charge it......” (Franz)

“It is only natural to recharge it when you have a Relic. Even Arnold, even Ark, even 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》, everyone does it! So would...... Any Treasure Hunters!!” (Cry)

“D-D-Don’t you dare activate it!” (Franz)

That is why I am not wrong.

The ones who are wrong are...... Yeah... Arnold, Ark, and 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》――No, the ones who are wrong are all the Treasure Hunters.

I desperately appeal to Franz-san, whose face turns red, with my justification.

“Recharging a Relic is――Not illegal.” (Cry)

“Are you going to destroy our country!? The Key of the Earth is classified as a first-class dangerous Relic!” (Franz)

“...... I didn’t know it was such a dangerous thing, you know.” (Cry)

Even the newspapers didn’t mention that...... But in light of the information that Franz-san gave me, the flow of information must have been controlled.

As there are a surprisingly high number of Relics that can be dangerously powerful under certain conditions, so this is a common story. And this time, he seems to have learned of its abilities through a (presumably a Relic) book――

“Stop lying! 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, the divine strategist! How could you not know, you who have a power close to foreseeing the future and an information network throughout the Empire! You should have noticed it when the amount of Magic to recharge it was strange! You bastard, you better stop doing that or I’ll seriously throw you in jail!” (Franz)

“*Uwa*...... Franz-san’s rating of me is supra high.” (Cry)

“Kuh!! Kuhhhhhh!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” (Franz)

When I said my honest thoughts, Franz-san’s face turned red and yelled out loud.

It would be a problem if even the bigwigs of a big country believed in such wild rumors...... I am neither a divine strategist nor do I have the power to foresee the future nor do I possess an information network.

Rather, the basic is that things do not go the way I want. If it weren’t for Luke and the others, I would have been killed in an accident long ago (As I am a very unlucky man, I won’t say that if it weren’t for Luke and the others, I wouldn’t have gone to places where I would get into accidents.).

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Poor Lucia, working so hard to recharge the relic but all Cry is thinking is along the line of “Yup, that looks hard, glhf”!

And Cry it is not like you got to places where there are accidents, it is the accidents that go to you!

Tchao à plus!
