Chapter 420.2: Loophole ②
“Hah? Wh-What? A loophole in the system!?” (Olivia)
She is Ohii-sama’s Grand Chamberlain. The voice of Olivia-san, who I haven’t seen in a while since she disappeared with a tired look on her face, rings out. Next to her, the Head Butler, Jean-san, who I haven’t seen recently either, is completely frozen.
The person they are both looking at is Ohii-sama, who was released from her imprisonment last night. She is gazing down at the outside of the window in high spirits, ignoring their gazes. Even though she could have just looked at the view from the window of her own room, Ohii-sama’s mood has remained at its peak since last night.
If I hadn’t stopped her from leaving the building, she might have flown away somewhere like a kite whose string was cut.
“Th-There’s no way there’s a loophole in the king’s system, no way!” (Olivia)
“Heck, what kind of eyes do you have to have to notice something like that? I’ve tried tinkering with the system and looking into that door, but I couldn’t get anywhere……” (Zuri)
Zuri, who has also arrived that morning, speaks with a distorted face as Olivia-san is in the midst of a state of utter confusion. Apparently, the members of 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》 are so loyal that while I was away someone had come to check on Ohii-sama every day.
“Well, it was full of loopholes, un.” (Cry)
If anything, it is the king that has loopholes, rather than the system. That was definitely the king who opened the door. What, create a loophole. There was no other option but to open the door.
