YM778.TV Chapter 416.1: Oversleep
That’s right, if I remember correctly…… Zaza and the others were showing me the other areas around. I was told that it was the busiest area…… Right, I went inside a building, but I don’t remember much about what happened after that.
Did I have a drink afterward?
I make a big stretch and look around. I feel great. The most surprising thing is that――I don’t feel sleepy at all. Even though I sleep a lot, this is the best awakening I have in a long time.
It looks like something good will happen today. By the way, where are Zaza and the others?
As I *kyorokyoro* look around, a man in a white coat suddenly comes rushing into the room.
“Oh! You’ve woken up! I’m so glad!” (Man)
“………… Eh?” (Cry)
Zaza, who looks very haggard and is following behind him, speaks with tears in his eyes.“I am so glad…… I am so glad, really. Well, I knew you were alive, but……” (Zaza)
“Onii-chan! I’m so glad you’re finally awake-no! Onii-chan, you’ve been sleeping for three days-noyo! We woke up right away, but you’re such a sleepyhead!” (Lulu)
“Ahh…… Yeah?” (Cry)
I tilt my head in confusion at what Lulu said. It take me a few seconds to understand what she means.
Three days, huh. That’s a new record indeed…
Even for me, it is not normal to sleep for three days. The bed I am currently sleeping in seems different from the one I used at Ohii-sama’s place, but could this be the power of Code’s technology?
I see, that makes sense, no wonder I have such a refreshing awakening. Ahahahaha……
Even though I have been lying down for three days, my condition is no different from usual. I haven’t eaten anything, but I am not hungry and my muscles don’t seem to have weakened. Maybe Code’s bed complements that as well?
I can almost consider it as a Relic.
“I will go and report this to Nora-sama! Cry-san, don’t go off on your own!” (Zaza)
Zaza leaves the room. The man in a white coat checks my whole body and then groans.
“You are not feeling unwell anywhere, are you? It is true that the effectiveness of the incapacitating gas varies from person to person, but…… Three days is a new record. We tested it on a wide range of people, both men and women, young and old, but we never had anyone whose effects lasted that long before. There were some people whose effects lasted for a short period of time, but I never expected to see someone whose effects lasted this long――” (Cry)
Incapacitating gas……? That is an unfamiliar term to me. I can be incapacitated even without that gas, you know. Apparently…… It wasn’t like I was simply sleeping for three days. Well yeah, of course.
I haven’t been particularly tired since I came to this city, and even though I am a long sleeper, there is no way I would sleep for three days despite not doing anything. Although sometimes, three days pass by while I am *daradara* lazing around tho’. I lean back down on the bed. In a panic, Lulu says.
“Onii-chan, don’t go back to sleep! Nora-sama is *kankan* furious!” (Lulu)
“Eh? …… Why would Nora-san be like that?” (Cry)
“I would ask you the same as well. We were seriously debating whether or not doing research to wake you up was necessary.” (Man)
“………… I don’t really get it but I am sorry for causing you trouble.”
“Eh………… Eeeh………
For the time being, I am fine, but after sleeping for three days, I am a little curious about whether there has been any progress on Kaiser’s part. Level 8 Hunters work fast, so it wouldn’t be strange if they could rescue one or two more people. I have to hurry and do some sightseeing…… It would be outrageous to have the rescue wait just because of my sightseeing.
“You’ve finally woken up. Cry Andrich.” (?)
At that moment, a man enters the room.
The man in the white coat, Lulu, and the other children hurriedly make a way. The man who comes in is a familiar young man with red hair and a white suit. Even I remember him because it was only a few days since I met him.
“!! You are――!” (Cry)
“Well, well, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you this time. I never thought you’d be caught by our defense system――I’m so sorry.” (?)
If I remember correctly, this red-haired young man is the same one who dropped me off when I was on my way to the prison.
He had an impactful entrance and an impactful outfit. I am pretty sure his name is――.
I *pan* hit my hands and say with a smile.
“TC-san, was it? No, no, you dropping me off to the prison the other day was really helpful. I don’t really know what happened, but let’s call it square.” (Cry)
You always need to square your debt. It is because there is always a risk of something undesirable happening.
It seems we got caught in some kind of defense system, but we weren’t particularly injured. We just fell asleep.
TC-san’s eyes widen for a moment as if he is shocked by what I said, but then he smiles nihilistically and says.
“No, no, that’s not going to work. After all, this whole incident has made Nora angry. No, it was my fault tho’………… Really, that has really cost me a lot. Just let me know if you need anything in my area.” (Tony)
“Tony-sama, no matter how much we investigate, we could not find any flaws. At this point, we have no choice but to assume this is an issue due to the individual. For the time being, this person is in good health.” (Man)
“I see. I guess I underestimated a 4 points. I can’t believe it’s possible for it to be so effective on you――Aren’t you a grown man? No, it’s not like it’s your fault……” (Tony)
TC-san sighs, holds out his hand to me, and says.
“Once again, I am TC――Tony Code. As your companions seem to have noticed, I am a member of the Royal Family of this city. I understand that you would like to sightsee my area…… You are welcome to do it.” (Tony)
“!! Say what!?” (Cry)
TC…… Tony Code. If he is a member of the Royal Family, then this young man must be one of the people we were requested to protect.
To think that I would meet another member of the Royal Family…… The companions he is talking about must have been Kool and the others who were with us at that time. Seriously, if you had noticed it, you should have told me……
I stand up, shake hands, and say.
“I didn’t notice it at all………… I am sorry for my poor judgment. Thank you for the other day. I am Cry Andrich, someone who came from outside. I don’t know if you know this, but despite my appearance, I am Ohii-sama’s――Alisha-ojou’s Royal Guard. Nice to meet you.” (Cry)
“Kuh…… I can’t tell if you’re serious or trying to provoke me…… You really are an interesting guy after all.” (Tony)
“By the way………… I don’t know if it is okay to ask this, but…… Are you being watched by any nobles right now?” (Cry)
The Royalty I came to rescue were supposed to be imprisoned by nobles, guarded, and forced to do what they were told. However, just like Nora-san, this Tony-san, doesn’t look like he has been imprisoned at all, nor does he seem like the type of person who would be forced to do what someone tells him to do. Tony-san stares in wonder in response to my question.
“Haaah…… Of course, they are watching me. The nobles who manage my area. What about it?” (Tony)
What………… So, he is being watched. He doesn’t seem to be imprisoned, but it doesn’t seem that the request is all that wrong.
So now I have found three members of the Royal Family. There are seven of them in total, so I have met just a little less than half of them. If I was truly a Level 8, I would have been able to mow down the nobles and take them out of the city. I will let Kaiser and Saya know about this when I find them. I sigh softly and try to reassure Tony-san by saying.
“It is okay, there is no need to worry. Things may be rough right now, but I am sure Kaiser and Saya will be able to do something about it.” (Cry)
“??? What are you talking about, man?” (Tony)
It is hard for me to make a clear statement under the watchful eyes of the nobles. But I know I don’t even need to try to rescue him. It is absolutely impossible. Forgive me for being so incompetent.
Thanks for reading! Haha so Cry slept for 3 days. Is this him doing a random number adjustement again like during the emperor escort request or during Yggdra’s arc What will happen this time!?
