Chapter 217 A Reliable Man ⑤
Part 2
Gark-san also had a drawn-out smile on his face and it was so terrifying that if it was the regular me I would do a Dogeza on the spot.
“Hmph, you said it, didn’t you.” (Rosemary)
“Tsk………… The staff member, who put the name on the list, had been taken care off. It was irrelevant, though.” (Gark)
Taken care off!? What do you mean taken care off!? So are you telling me that it is now my turn and I will be getting rid of?
Apparently, I said it in the wrong way. I hurriedly made an excuse.
“N-No don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you guys are wrong. Term’s performance was spectacular and Kechakchakka looked like that but she was also working behind the scenes. I don’t think it is surprising that even the senior Gark-san and the senior Level 8 didn’t notice. Fufu…… I didn’t notice it even after they revealed themselves. It was nobody’s fault.” (Cry)
“Ho…… Hooo…… It has been a long time since I have been told that so clearly.” (Rosemary)
“Un, un, that’s right. Well, of course, it is.” (Cry)
“Cry-san, please it’s enough――” (Ahrun)
As if in a panic, Ahrun came in to stop me. I unintentionally frowned.
I thought I was defending them, but why do both Gark-san and the Baa-san have a vein-popping up?
“Well, I am just glad that it ended safely. I told the Emperor that it wasn’t your fault.” (Cry)
“Kukuku…… I never thought I would owe you one……” (Rosemary)
Thank goodness…… I am so glad I kept this Baa-san on my side.
Gark-san? What about Gark-san…… I think it is rather bad for him. However, since Gark-san isn’t incompetent like me, we can agree that the “Fox’s (Kitsune)” tricks were clever ones.
Rather, if you think about it calmly…… Isn’t everyone bad except me? Even Franz-san was easily beaten by Term, and the Emperor’s Imperial Guards should have been stronger.
When I think back on it, it seems that everything didn’t quite blend together. I sighed deeply.
“Weakness is a sin. At the very least, you have to be strong enough to match your position――” (Cry)
.
“Tsk…… Are you looking for a fight or are you trying to comfort us!” (Gark)
“Ah, aaah, I wasn’t talking about you, Gark-san. Aaaah, of course, I wasn’t talking about you too!” (Cry)
Her eyes, which do not seem to be coming from someone of old age, make me raise my voice.
I am trapped from all sides. It just accidentally got out of my mouth. Can’t I even talk to myself, here? Let’s quickly finish our business and go home before I get burned.
I ate some cookies. These cookies are so delicious. I want to take some home as souvenirs.
However, we are going to talk about Term, but I know almost nothing about him. I don’t think I can answer any of their questions though……
《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 emits a voice that sounds as if it is echoing from the depths of hell.
“《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, hihi…… I’ve got a lot of things I need to check with you about, but――How is…… Term doing right now?” (Rosemary)
“!! That is a very good question.” (Cry)
I involuntarily slapped my knee. This is the only question I can answer. Taking my smartphone out of my pocket, I opened the image sent to me by the Ani Kitsune and place it on the table.
As if she was peering into the image with a quizzical expression, 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 face froze up. Gark-san was intently staring at the image.
The image showed Term and Kechakchakka surrounded by many fox-masks. The picture was taken from a bird’s eye view, and the image quality was not very good, so we cannot make out their expressions, but considering the Ani Kitsune comment that they are very lively, they are probably still playing.
I think if they just do a Dogeza they will be fine, but if they can go out of that place, they will be outside, and this would be troublesome. After all, as he is Level 7, I won’t be able to stand it if they hold a grudge against me.
“They are still playing in the Treasure Shrine. They should contact me when they come out.” (Cry)
“This photo is――No, this is what little Franz was talking about, the 【Lost Inn】, huh.” (Rosemary)
“Aaaah. I didn’t do anything but they got lost on their own. It’s true, you know.” (Cry)
“Cry, you really…… Always come up with the craziest idea.” (Gark)
“? I have no idea what you are talking about……” (Cry)
Don’t tell me, you think that I pushed Term into a trap, do you? No way that’s true.
Common sense will tell you that there is no way a Treasure Shrine would listen to humans, and it is even more improbable to use it as a trap.
I don’t set traps. Because if I set a trap, I would get myself caught in it. It is such a sad story.
“…… Will Term come back?” (Rosemary)
Suddenly, 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 asked that. Of course, it is yes. If I said no, I would be burned.
“Of course. It will take some time, but I am sure they will come out. Are you worried?” (Cry)
“He is stupid to be seduced by the “Fox (Kitsune)”, that fool. Hihi…… I will have to interrogate him with my own hands……” (Rosemary)
Her cold voice made me involuntary straighten my posture.
Her voice was flat, but it was filled with tremendous emotion that even I, a peace-idiot, could sense it.
A smile floated on her face and her eyes were wide open as if she wanted to burn the picture.
I didn’t even need to ask her if she was worried about him. This Baa-san is planning to burn Term down. She wants him to live so that she can burn him. I can’t believe that this thought can come out of a human being like me.
Deep down, I am glad she is not my enemy.
Apparently, she is not going to burn me for not bringing Term back. But I really want to get out of this place right now.
“《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》, you should leave it at that.” (Gark)
The air was tingling. But that was when Gark-san intervened.
It was indeed very courageous of him, it isn’t for nothing that he is the one who carries the Imperial Capital Explorer Assoc. On his shoulders.
《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 lifted her face and smiled.
“Yes, indeed. Before I leave it to the next generation, while I can still move――I need to clean everything up and burn everything to ashe……” (Rosemary)
Hmm?
“Let’s get into the main subject. 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, we have a big job. They underestimated the Explorer Association, we are going to――Crush the “Fox (Kitsune)”” (Gark)
Hmmmmmmmm?
Ahrun and Marie also have serious expressions on their faces.
I opened my eyes, *pon* hit my hand, quickly retrieved my phone, and raised my hand in a small gesture.
“Sorry, can I use your bathroom?” (Cry)
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Hahaha the legendary Level 8 toilet escape!
But as expected of Cry’s passive provocation skill, each time he said something it can be taken as a provocation.
And also so funny that both Gark and Rosemary think that Cry use the Lost Inn to trap Term and Kecha XD
Tchao à plus!
