Chapter 392.1: Jolly People
I, Kool Saiko, do my best to remain calm as I am suddenly offered salvation in an otherwise hopeless situation. No, maybe I can’t keep my calm. Even though I have been released, I feel no joy or sense of reality.
My friends are probably feeling the same way as me.
Led by a staff member who rarely visited the prison before, we left the building by a different route than the one we had taken when we were incarcerated. I see towering buildings and the blue sky. And also a large metal spider-like object resting in front of the gate.
When I was arrested and taken away, I was not given the freedom to look outside. So this is the inside of that enormous floating city. I feel like I am having a strange dream.
Normally, there is no way help would come. The enemy that 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》――Kryhi Andrichhi challenged is so huge that no other nation or organization has ever dared to challenge, an Advanced Physical Civilization city. What are the odds that――A Level 8 Hunter would come to this city that is hostile to the Explorer Association, and that this person is someone we have previously been involved with?
Cry is thanking the staff. The relaxed smile on his face, which is not intimidating or charismatic at all, is not much different from when I met him at the “Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)”.
“Thank you for everything. I will come again.” (Cry)
“It is part of the job. I don’t think it is possible, but if you want to release the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, you should come after you have gained the authority to do it. Class 6 and above is the starting line. ………… Come to think of it, your name sounds similar to the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 .” (Prison Staff Member)
“Right, right, it looks exactly alike, doesn’t it? In fact, I even got his autograph once.” (Cry)
