Chapter 231 Strange Freak ②

Part 2

However, if I don’t leave Luke and Liz with them, Lucia’s mood is going to drop dead. I closed my eyes and thought for a while.

“………… W-Well, I never, said that I was the “Byakko (White Fox)”, okay? They just misunderstood on their own, okay?” (Cry)

It is not my fault, okay? What is bad is their vague system that makes you the boss if you have a white fox mask, okay?

It is not my fault, okay? I don’t know anything, okay? And I don’t want to know, okay?

…… Just in case, I will consult this with Sora. Just consulting. We are just going to have a little talk.

If it doesn’t work…… Should we all make Aburaage?

§

Lucia and I, Liz and Luke. The four of us walk down the street.

The street was thriving. The crowds made it hard just to walk, but since Sora’s Kitchen is located on the outskirts of the city, it was only a matter of time before we got there.

Walking together in an unfamiliar city like this reminds me of the old days when we all still hunted and traveled around the world together.

Liz, who was walking next to me, suddenly raised a surprised voice.

“Isn’t this the first time Cry-chan introduced us to an enemy?” (Liz)

“Aaah, indeed, this is surely the first time he is taking us to a place while telling us about it beforehand.” (Luke)

There was never a time when I took you somewhere without talking to you about it first.

“Cry-chan, be careful of pickpockets. There seems to be a lot of them around here.” (Liz)

“As expected, they wouldn’t try to touch him with all of us around. Well, even if they steal it, we won’t let them get away with it.” (Lucia)

Wearing a black robe and a tricorn hat. No matter how you look at it, Lucia with her long staff is a Magi.

Putting aside if I was alone, even pickpockets will choose their target.

No one will pick a fight with Hunters who are routinely exposed to Mana Material and strengthened by it.

As I walked in the *pokapoka* warm sunlight, I suddenly spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

A distinctive black outfit. He is not tall, considering the average height of Treasure Hunters, but he has a distinctive staff and is good-looking, so he catches people’s attention just by being there.

The real me. Kryhi Andrichhi, the 《Infinite Sky Flowers (Senten Banka)》.

I greatly waved my hand at our unexpected reunion.

I never thought I would be this lucky to meet so many people. I wonder if he remembers me?

“Oiii, Kryhi-san! Long time no see!” (Cry)

As expected of the real thing, Kryhi Andrichhi turned toward us with badass manners that would make people fall in love with him.

When he saw me, his eyes widened and lost his calm demeanor.

“!! You――So, you really came to this city!” (Kryhi)

“Aaah, so he’s the guy Syt was talking about……” (Liz)

I have told Liz and the others not to say anything rude if they saw him.

No matter how similar we are, it is not good to call him fake just because of that. I mean, as far as I am concerned, that one is clearly stronger than me.

Lucia glared at Kryhi with a still, sullen expression, but it is not like I can make her stop doing that.

The crowd spontaneously split. So this is――Real charisma, huh. How badass.

Kryhi approached with a *niconico* friendly smile and said in a cheerful voice.

He acts as if he were meeting a friend he has known for ten years. I am sure he has high communication power. He is just impeccable.

“What a coincidence! I was just wondering yesterday if I would see you again too!” (Kryhi)

That’s…… What a coincidence indeed.

………… By the way, who is the girl clinging to his arm?

Kryhi had a girl glued to his arm. A girl with long black hair.

A pointy hat and black robe. She has a long staff. Judging from her outfit, she must be a Magi.

The girl blinked her eyes at me――Or rather at Lucia. Come to think of it, they don’t really look alike because some points are different, but, yeah, if I were to just look at their features, they look really alike.

Kryhi introduced her with a troubled look on his face.

“Aaah, she is Rusha Andrichhi. She is a Magi and……………… Well…… My sister-in-law? And also, she is my apprentice. She still doesn’t have an Alias, but her talent is quite decent.” (Kryhi)

“!?” (Cry)

Lucia said nothing. There were just her cheeks that were twitching.

That’s, how to say…… What an amazing coincidence. Our Lucia isn’t my apprentice, tho’.

W-Well, that kind of thing happens too. I would like to leave quickly, but it would be unbecoming if I didn’t at least say hello.

I regained my composure and spoke to Rusha, who clung tightly to Kryhi’s arm.

“I see, nice to meet you. I am a fan of your Onii-san.” (Cry)

Rusha, whose eyes had been blinking frequently, smiled as if it was blossoming.

And then, she said in a very sweet voice.

“Aaaah, yeeees~, you are, the fake one, riiight~! I’mmm~, Onii-chan’s girlfriennnd~, and his future waifuuu~, Rusha, desuuuu~!” (Rusha)

“Hah?” (Lucia)

Lucia’s eyebrows were getting closer and closer together. Oh no, Lucia’s lucidity is dying.

Liz’s cheeks were also *pikupiku* twitching, but I am sure hers was because she was trying to hold back her laughter.

Rusha hugged Kryhi’s arms as if she was pressing them against her chest and said in a joyful voice.

“Onii-chan wiiill~, never lose, against someone like youuu~! Onii-chan is, sooo~ cool, sooo~ strong, sooo~ smart, and sooo~ kind…… He told me thaaaat~ if I become stronger and become a first class Magi, he would marry meeee~!” (Rusha)

What a stunning personality.

Personally, I don’t dislike it, but Lucia’s expression has changed from anger to nothing at all. It’s bad.

Kryhi frowned his eyebrows and rebuked Rusha as if he was truly exasperated. There was no hint of embarrassment in his expression.

“H-Hey, hey. I’m sorry, Ruscha is always like this. She even calls herself my Imouto at that………… B-But she might be strange but she isn’t a bad girl. Come on, Rusha, apologize. You were way too rude.” (Kryhi)

What do you mean she calls herself your Imouto, even though she is not your Imouto?

My Imouto, who is my Imouto, but stopped being Imouto-like, was completely stumped.

Liz calls herself in the first person when she snaps, but Lucia stops saying anything when she snaps. Rusha’s life was only hanging by a thread.

Being scolded by Kryhi, Rusha looked *pokan* blank for a moment, but then tears begin to well up in her eyes.

.

“I-I’m sorry, I, love Onii-chan so much…… That’s why, I always immediately go out of control when it is about him……” (Rusha)

Her eyes were *chirachira* glancing towards Kryhi. This girl, she was definitely not sorry, wasn’t she?

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Here comes Lucia’s fake! And of course, she is a “Brocon”, even if she isn’t Kryhi’s sister.

And Lucia reaching absolute zero when seeing Rusha, lol!

Tchao à plus!
