Chapter 248.2: Eve



Chapter 248.2: Eve

Woooooooooooooooooooh, powerful unseen foes are waiting for usss! My sword is whispering to me that it wants to suck blooddd! (Luke)

But Luke-chan, your sword is made of wood, no? (Liz)

I willll! Advance to a new stageee! In the Supreme Martial Arts Festivallll! Cutting with a sword is powerful, but cutting with a wooden sword is even more powerfulll! The strongest swordsman canCut the world with a wooden sworddd! (Luke)

Umu. (Anthem)

A meaningless roar echoed through the room. Luke and the others tension had reached the maximum in anticipation of the Supreme Martial Arts Festival.

Apparently, they were not satisfied with bounty hunting with Touka and her group.

However, I didn't have time to worry about that now. I crossed my arms and stared at the tournament match-up.

Uuuun (Cry)

What is wrong? Cry-san? (Sytry)

Sytry called out to me with an upward glance.

Cry Andrich is mentioned in this tournament.

The question is whether this Cry Andrich is me or another Cry Andrich.

I have never heard of anyone with the same name as me, but there are examples such as Kryhi Andrichhi. In the first place, I came here to watch the games, not to participate in them.

Who would like to attend a Muscle-Brain Fest? I am here to watch the games with Tino and the others while eating popcorn, you know.

Are you maybe Worried about the match, Leader? (Lucia)

Cry-san will be fine! After all, the other party is a fake! (Sytry)

Sytry is encouraging me while Lucia is grumpy today too. Apparently, in order to hear what they think, I need to ask them.

Heh? Do you think I am going to be participating in the tournament? (Cry)

Hah? (Lucia)

Eh? (Sytry)

Lucia and Sytry stiffened. I laughed at what happened.

Hahahahahahaha, I will not participate. There is no way that I will participate. (Cry)

Me participating in the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, that's absurd. I am a man who has always just barely avoided many deadly troubles in the past, you know? I can't even fight, let alone battle. One-on-one is my weakest point. Well, I'm not good at many-on-one battles either.

The Cry Andrich mentioned here is probably a Cry Andrich that is not me.

Wh-What What are you talking abou (Lucia)

The Cry Andrich mentioned here is a Cry Andrich that is not me. (Cry)

In the first place, I had to apply in order to participate in the tournament. How could I be listed in the tournament match-up if I had not done so? I was indeed surprised for a moment to see my name written on it, but if I took a deep breath and thought about it calmly it was self-explanatory.

Ni-Nii-san!? I-It is the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, you know!? It is not just any random martial arts tournament, you know!? (Lucia)

With a smile, I avoided Lucia whose face was twitching and was having an intense look.

No, this is just a simple martial arts tournament. (Cry)

Nii-san!? Are you serious!? Nii-san!? (Lucia)

Ti-chan You poor thing. (Sytry)

Lucia yelled out loud. And Sytry muttered with an unusually sorry expression. Hearing the commotion, Luke and the others rushed in. And so the night before the Supreme Martial Arts Festival passed.

Really, human village is such a noisy place. For those born and raised in a Treasure Shrine, the village in the desert was noisy, but the noise of this city on the eve of a festival far exceeded that.

No one in the crowd paid any attention to the tiny figure. It was surely there, but no one noticed it.

For the fox Phantom living in the Lost Inn deceiving people is now proof of their existence.

I'm done playing in this town. I tricked people into frying Aburaage, and I have also played a trick on a human organization that I don't really understand. It's a shame to leave that huge amount of Aburaage, but I can eventually have it again if I use the same trick.

God's kins are fickle. We only get involved with people when we want to get involved with people.

Now, what should I do? Should I go back to the Lost Inn, or should I go back to the desert village again? As I was walking while humming a tune, a piece of paper that had fallen to the ground suddenly caught the Imouto Kitsune's eye.

It was the tournament match-up for tomorrow's Supreme Martial Arts Festival.

Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Butaisai).Although the Imouto Kitsune did not have much common sense of the human world, she had already grasped a general idea of what was going on from the conversations of the people in this region. It is a festival to compete in strength. Even though it is obvious that the strongest of all is "Mother (Haha-sama)", Humans are truly foolish, competing with each other in warfare among lower races.

And there, as I casually glanced down, a familiar name suddenly came into my eyes.

Cry Andrich VS Kryhi Andrichhi? (Imouto Kitsune)

Cry Andrich.

It is a name that even the Imouto Kitsune, who have no interest in human name, could never forget.

NoHe is the natural enemy of the Lost Inn itself.

Once, the Phantom of the Lost Inn lost a battle of wits with that man and was robbed of its tail, which could be called the main body of the Treasure Shrine. As far as the Imouto Kitsune goes, he is a foe with whom I have a history, as I have been cleverly trapped and have even been imposed a rule prohibiting me from attacking him.

That man lacks respect for the Imouto Kitsune. My pride as one coming from a divine lineage would not allow me to stay defeated, but he was too dangerous to face alone. That is what I thought.

After checking the tournament match-up for a while, the Imouto Kitsune murmured.

Interesting. (Imouto Kitsune)

With high intellect, I assemble my next operation. I was thinking of going home already, but with this, I'll be able to pay back that Kikkikan-san this time.

Although I cannot attack him directly, there are many ways to deceive humans. This time I am going to show that man what I can do. I will trick him, get him down on his knees, and force him to comb my tail.

The strongest Hunter. A Level 8. I'm going to tarnish your reputation in the human world.

Thanks for reading! Cry is still running away from reality even after seeing his name on the tournament match-up! Sasuga Cry, his running away from reality power is too strong! And what is the Imouto Kitsune plan!?
