Part 2
Did I, ever say that? I don’t remember and I can’t imagine how I could give that organization or whatever it is as a gift to her at all.
I turned away from Sytry, who seemed to be enjoying herself, and I took over.
“…… Well, putting aside her joke………… We (Sytry) have already done all we can. There is nothing more I can do, so how about you do whatever you want on your side.” (Cry)
Sytry’s power is in other words my power.
As always, I tried to drown things up by puffing my chest and answering with an appropriate answer, when Gark-san leaned forward and furrowed his eyebrows.
“Cry. Do you………… You do realize that they’ve got a weapon and they’re going to do something in this city, don’t you?” (Gark)
Seriously, you are so persistent…… There is nothing more I can say, you know.
“Un, un, that’s right……………… Hm?” (Cry)
I feel like I just heard a word I shouldn’t ignore……
By the time I blinked my eyes, Gark-san had clicked his tongue loudly and leaned back.
“Damn it, Cry, where do you get your information from? We’ve been trying for years to get information on them, and only recently we finally found some information……” (Gark)
“Eh!? ……………… From Eva……?” (Cry)
Sorry, Eva…… My mouth moved by itself…… But, being questioned like this is really unfair. I am really sorry.
“Aaah? No matter how good your intelligence network is, there’s no way you can get information that we’ve spent years trying to――” (Gark)
And just as Gark-san was about to say that much, my smartphone suddenly shook in his pocket.
I took it out in a hurry and checked it.
I am getting the hang of this Relic. Lucia, who has to charge it every day, had a dissatisfied expression on her face.
Gark-san looked at me while raising his eyebrow as I started fiddling with my smartphone in the middle of our conversation.
But the rule is to check it as soon as it arrives. While feeling Baa-san and Gark-san’s stares, I read my message.
“Ehm…… 『Aburaage Naw?』” (Cry)
What is Naw……
The attached photo showed a familiar kitchen and empty plates.
No matter how many times I rubbed my eyes and checked the room in the picture, it was clearly the room Sytry had prepared.
………… Wut? Don’t tell me…… She is here?
Sure, I sent some pictures *chokochoko* here and there, but how did she get here even though the desert is so far away……?
Waitwaitwait, isn’t this…… Really bad? That Imouto Kitsune is still a Phantom. If this continues, there is a possibility that Sora will be fried just for fun.
It is not the time to talk about secret organizations.
“Sorry, some urgent business just came up. I have to leave now.” (Cry)
However, even if I say that I do not intend to throw them out.
For once, I feel like I should listen to them properly.
I heard some disturbing words, and I would like to make sure to fully understand what happened, including what kind of preparation Sytry did.
But for now, the priority is on human life.
Later, I will find some time to discuss this with Sytry――Huh? Right now, aren’t I…… Really Leader-like?
As I was thinking about this, Gark-san clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. Damn, ah, okay. Do whatever you want. You always do whatever you want without saying a word――I won’t say anything if you deliver, but we will do it our way.” (Gark)
Eh!? No………… We need to talk and act together――.
As I fumbled around without expressing it, I heard something evaporate in front of my eyes.
《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 pointed her bony finger at me.
Her fingertips blinked several times. The flashes of light that she emitted were continuously being evaporated a few centimeters in front of my eyes. Lucia must have defended me because there was no reaction from my Barrier Rings.
《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 blew on her fingertip that was smoking and said.
“Aaah, I understand. I do owe you a debt. I too am a reasonable person and this time I am doing you a favor, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. And to begin with, it is not like I am much of a thinker……” (Rosemary)
Confused, the Baa-san stood up before I could say anything.
She *pin* straightens her back which is hard to believe will come from someone that old. She is a little taller than me, and I hear that when she was young, she was often mistaken for a Spirit People.
I don’t remember owing you anything in the first place, but in any case, I would appreciate it if you would stop attacking me as a greeting. Lucia had a dissatisfied expression, but she did not seem to be offended at all.
Her voice was hoarse, but she could not hide the heat lurking behind it. Her eyes were shining like Liz’s eyes would.
This person should be at a good age now, but when will she retire?
《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 said with a deep, monster-like smile. Her voice was filled with a power that would only allow you to say yes.
“However, we are in――A festival. When the time comes, give me a signal, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. I have come from such a long way home, by whipping my old bones. I still have to retaliate because of the matter with Term. Understand?” (Rosemary)
“Y-Yes.” (Cry)
“Tsk. Oi, Cry. Don’t slack off and do a good performance during the Supreme Martial Arts Festival too. If the winner comes from our branch, we can show it off.” (Gark)
As the Baa-san quickly leaves, Gark-san clicks his tongue and chases after her.
That Baa-san is just like a storm. What an overbearing person…… Gark-san was completely overwhelmed. That Baa-san was already a skilled Hunter when Gark-san had just become a Hunter, so that may have had something to do with this pecking order.
Do Hunters usually say that they will retaliate? As for me, I just hope Lucia won’t become like her.
Gark-san, for the most part, said whatever he wanted tho’.
………… In the end, I couldn’t hear the story, no?
A new photo was sent to my smartphone. It is a picture of Sora, who was confused while continuing to make Aburaage.
No, let’s solve things by starting with the easiest problem for now.
Why is this happening when I just came to watch the Supreme Martial Arts Festival?
§ § §
”Byakko-sama (White Fox)” is a fearful person. That is what I have been taught all my life.
In class, in daily prayer, or in lullabies sung to me as a child.
Power, wisdom, luck, charisma, vigilance. And――A cruelty that rivals God’s.
The 『Nine-Tails Shadow Fox (Kyubi no Kage Kitsune)』 is a secret organization. Although Sora and other priests are given special powers, it is by no means a religious organization.
The organization, which seems to have originated from an intelligence agency of a now-defunct country, has grown through the exceptional skills of its Bosses over the generations.
It has absorbed many talented criminals and talented people who are dissatisfied with their country, honed their skills, taken roots in various countries, and has grown quietly but surely.
The thoroughness of the “Fox’s (Kitsune)” existence was so great that no one in the public world was aware of its existence until the moment when its power grew sufficiently large.
The fox mask is just a symbol. Very few of the members truly believe in the Fox-God.
The mask the Boss first brought back was a special item for Sora and the others who worshiped the Fox-God. And the Boss needed a cause, a banner, for everyone to rally around.
As a result, an organization was created. A solid organization that has not wavered over the years.
The white fox mask given by the God is the proof of being the Boss.
The Boss of the organization is not hereditary. There is always fierce conflict inside the organization.
Therefore――The Boss is the strongest in the organization.
It is not clear at all by what criteria the Boss is selected, but at least no weakling has ever been the Boss.
The money, power, and technology that the organization has make the Boss the most powerful.
A terrifying existence that even high-level Hunters who have absorbed a lot of Mana Materials cannot handle.
Even among the priests, only a few of them have ever seen the Boss.
No one knows where the Bosses is, and there are not many opportunities to verify the Boss’ authenticity in the first place.
Sora too had never seen their figure before. She had always hoped to see it.
However, she did not believe in them being the strongest.
That was why when I first found “Byakko-sama (White Fox)”, I had no doubts at all even though I did not feel any power coming from him.
I didn’t realize it until I was tossed around shamelessly and him exposing himself.
I was going to do everything I could. The “Byakko-sama (White Fox)” who appeared was a fake, but only his mask was real.
Hence I told him that it was my rightful duty as a priest to serve him.
That was until that moment when I saw the real thing in front of me.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Cry randomly throwing Eva’s name killed me!
Now Gark will also think that Eva is a master in gathering information (Which she kinda is, she did find Akasha no To’s ice cream hideout XD)
And don’t forget, final part of the chapter tomorrow!
Off-topic but I’m having One Piece withdrawal symptoms
Where is my weekly chapter of One Piece TT.TT
Tchao à plus!
Footnotes
Baa-san: Grandma or Old Lady.Aburaage Naw: Aburaage NowHere the word she uses to say retaliate is the same word that a gang or mafia would say. Hence Cry’s question.
