Chapter 193.5 The Melancholy of Kechakchakka?

Part 2

However, those words which would have been so reassuring a month ago, do not reassure Kechakchakka now.

There shouldn’t be a problem. 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is a person with abilities that surpasses Term. When the time comes, he can just use the 『Proof of Immortal Dragons』 to call a Dragon. This airship is just like a flying coffin.

And then, at that time 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 came into the room.

When he saw Term, he made a rather dumb smile on his face and stopped Term from standing up.

“Aaah, you don’t need to do anything.” (Cry)

“…… Fumu. Do you mean that it is not the time, yet?” (Term)

“Hmm? Yeah Franz-san and the others said they are on it.” (Cry)

“What? What that man is also a comrade?!” (Term)

“Eh……? That’s…… Right, but…… Well, it is not the time for us to make our move yet.” (Cry)

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 nodded with a surprised expression when Term’s eyes widened.

Kechakchakka almost shouted “That’s ridiculous”, but stopped herself just in time.

In Kechakchakka’s eyes, Franz Argman is clear. Crystal clear. First of all, according to Kechakchakka’s research, Franz volunteered to undergo the 『Tears of Truth』, to prove his innocence. There is no way a man like this is a member of the “Fox (Kitsune)”.

But at the same time, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 had also proved his innocence in the same way. It was also proven in front of everyone at the 『White Sword Gathering』 where Kechakchakka caused a commotion. Term had actually confirmed it with his own eyes. She doesn’t know what to believe anymore.

If this request goes well, she decided that she will get some vacation.

Contrary to the weakening Kechakchakka, Term was calm.? She lowered her waist that she had raised in order to stand up.

Is this the difference of experience?? How does 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 look in Term’s eyes?? She was a little curious about it.

Term stroked his chin and asked the Thirteenth Rank.

“Fumu…… Fine, I will comply. Speaking of which, there was something I had to check. What are you going to do for Kruz?” (Term)

“Eh? Do what?” (Cry)

“You look like you’re pretty close to her…… Don’t you care if you eliminate her?” (Term)

“……!? Eh!????” (Cry)

Certainly, that Spirit People is in the way. Originally, Kechakchakka’s mission was to undermine the prestige of the Empire, but if it become an assassination, witnesses had to be eliminated.

At Term’s natural question, 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 were astounded.

Is this…… Also, acting? Why are you putting on an act even in front of your allies!

“It is not like we are that close, but…… I won’t eliminate her. Did you guys not get along?” (Cry)

It is the job of a professional to keep his personal feelings out of the mission. If they are not close, does that mean that all the friendly exchanges they’ve had were just an act? If so, was there a point to it?

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but …… Do you mean, that it is alright if we let you take care of Kruz?” (Term)

At Term’s confirmation, the Thirteenth Rank blinked his eyes and looked unsure, but nodded as if to convince himself.

“Hmmm………… Aaah, I have to do Leader-like job sometimes, right? I will give Kruz a verbal warning.” (Cry)

“Verbal……? ……………… I-I’ll leave it to you.” (Term)

I’m very worried, is it really okay? Is that gesture also an act and does it mean anything? Does he really think that he can shut her up with a verbal warning? There is no way that it will.

However, the Foxes must absolutely obey the orders of those in higher ranks.

A noisy noise could be heard from outside the room. Apparently, they are checking the effects of the storm on the airship.

There was no way it would affect the airship. The storm was rather violent, but the Magics on it wouldn’t fail just because of the storm. However, if the airship actually fell, they would actually attribute it to the storm.

It seems like the perfect timing to sabotage it, but is there a better timing than now to do it?

At that time, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 suddenly looked at Kechakchakka as if he sensed her question.

Her heart pounded really hard and a chill ran down her spine.

With a serious look on his face, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 approached Kechakchakka――And just walked past her.

He looked at the window and frowned. Kechakchakka looked at the window as well.

In the middle of the violent storm, a huge white kite was flying in the sky. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, but the kite did not disappear.

On top of it, the ridiculous Sheet Spirits she had seen before were grabbing on it.

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 said with a somewhat confused expression on his face.

“………… Not bad, not bad at all.” (Cry)

As if he had timed it, a strong flash of lightning flashed and hit the huge kite. It made a tremendous loud sound.

The kite carrying the Sheet Spirits falls down. And 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 was seeing it off with his eyebrows bent together.

Her head was hurting. She even felt nauseous.

…… It is not good, she was at her limit. She can’t deal with this anymore.

“…… Ukeke……” (Kechakchakka)

Kechakchakka gave up by making a small sound and went to her bedroom and hid in her bed.

Author’s notes:

It will be the climax of the 5th arc starting from the next chapter.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Hahaha Lucia really created “Soraton” the ninja kite move XD

And so funny that they are still wearing the sheet on them even while riding the kite!

But of course, they get hit by lightning as soon as Cry says something!

But well for Strange Grief lightning and a storm is like a daily occurrence.

Tchao à plus!
