Chapter 282 Useless Person?

Part 2

When I was walking while immersed in nostalgia, the force that was pushing my back suddenly stopped.

Sytry says in a small, but unmistakably excited voice.

“Huh? Nobody is here? Could it be that...... We can retrieve not just one thing but the entire treasury? Don’t tell me this was the plan all along!?” (Sytry)

“This is not the plan, you know......” (Cry)

She is saying something ridiculous. The whole treasury you say, that is no longer retrieving but just plain thieving.

Could it be that she is Liz with her hair cut instead of Sytry?

... No, no, no, as expected even I wouldn’t mistake Sytry for Liz in broad daylight. To begin with, Liz is a 『Thief (Tozoku)』 but she is very non-materialistic...

Sytry has a very disappointed look on her face. At this rate, she might secretly retrieve something while she is out of my sight.

Before she can think of any more bad things, I pull Sytry’s hand and head up the stairs.

“Aaah――” (Sytry)

“Come on, let’s finish this and go see Lucia’s “Teacher (Sensei)”.” (Cry)

............ Huh? By the way, why am I... Climbing the tower? It is not like I have any business with Lucia’s “Teacher (Sensei)”.

That’s not good. I can’t help but be swept away by Sytry’s momentum.

Since a while ago, you have been using the word “Retrieve” as if it were a matter of course, but――Hmmm, I don’t get it. Is there a problem with my head?

I would like to check what is going on, but I don’t even know where to start.

“I see............ So you mean you are going to retrieve it directly from Lucia’s “Teacher (Sensei)”!” (Sytry)

“...... In a way, I think Sytry’s overly perceptive nature is a weakness.” (Cry)

I have no idea what Sytry is talking about because she is too perceptive. Or maybe it is because I am too unperceptive...... I want to go home.

Just as I sighed deeply, a shining magic circle suddenly appeared beneath my feet.

Whether it was true or not――She was a rare person in the world with both 『Human』 and 『Spirit Person (Noble)』 blood.

Her body has the characteristics of both Human and Spirit People, and although she is only as tall as Liz, the tip of her ears are slightly pointed.

There are only a few Spirit People living in the Imperial Capital, but none of them will talk about her.

A miraculous flower blooming in Zebrudia. One of the best Magi in the Imperial Capital, who is said to have been recruited by Radrick Atrum Zebrudia himself when he took the throne.

A human, but at the same time, not a human. The 《Immortal (Fumetsu)》, Sage Clasta.

Was it because of her overwhelming strength? Even though I wasn’t being stared at, I felt oppressed, so I looked around and hurriedly greeted her.

“Oooooh............ Goo-Good morning?” (Cry)

What the hell is going on?

Leaving me confused, Lucia’s “Teacher (Sensei)” said to Sytry.

“And Sytry, the one next to him, you had better stop feigning sleep. Apparently, you are exactly what Lucia told me you are.” (Sage)

“............ Guuuh... Guuuh...” (Sytry)

Sytry clings to me tightly.

I understood everything, accepted it, and sighed.

“I see......” (Cry)

She was acting like a thief, but apparently, she was not Liz.

It is just the useless Sytry. It seems that today’s Sytry is the useless Sytry.

It should have been Lucia! I should have just let myself get caught by Lucia instead of letting Sytry push me in the back at that time! It is too late to regret now.

As I smiled half-heartedly because I was left with nothing to do, Lucia’s “Teacher (Sensei)” declared in a chilling voice that could scare me to death with just that.

“From now on, the trial will begin. Lucia’s brother. You are charged of partially destroying this prestigious Academy. Do you have anything to say?” (Sage)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading! I had a busy week so I couldn’t post the chapter yesterday. But here’s the chapter.

Lucia’s Sensei finally appears! But now she is going to judge Cry for destroying the Academy!

Moreover, all Lawyer Sytry is doing is cuddling Cry! Will Cry finally be convicted or will he be judge innocent!

You will know it in the next episode of Strange Grief, Law and Order!

Tchao à plus!
