Chapter 245 Great Sinner ③

Part 2

When I was at a loss for words because of Franz-san who was emotionally unstable, the Emperor made a wondering expression.

“But that should have been an item that could not be filled even with a hundred Spirit People Magi. How did you――Don’t tell me you got your hands on a recharging Relic?” (Radrick)

“………… Eh?” (Cry)

When I opened my eyes, the Emperor saw my expression and got his eyes popped out.

“Don’t tell me………… you really, recharged the key, with your own power? Is that even possible? What a surprise…………” (Radrick)

“Otou-sama……” (Murina)

The True Imperial Princess snuggled up to His Majesty when he was disoriented.

*Fumufumu*, I see………… Even the Emperor, who is also known as a warrior, would have his eyes popped out just by listening to this. Apparently, it seems to be a really bad thing.

I let out a small sigh.

Seriously, where did the (Tentative) Fox Fan Club get such a dangerous Relic? Next time I run into Gaff-san I should ask him.

I love Relic. I love to collect them, I love to use them, and I am even willing to go into debt to Sytry for them. But I think even I have a sense of crisis.

I took behind my back――The 『Key of the Earth』 that was on my side, sheath inside a random scabbard, and presented it to Franz-san.

“Alright. I will give it back. You guys can keep it.” (Cry)

“Huh!?” (Franz)

The moment he sees the Key of the Earth, the Emperor stands up as if he was pushed away.

Franz took a big leap and covered the Emperor and His Imperial Princess behind him.

Sytry opened her eyes and the fake Imperial Princess certainly voiced out a small *killkill*.

I am the only one left behind.

“Eh!?” (Cry)

“H-Hey, what do you dare to do in front of his Majesty――” (Franz)

“I told you I will give it to you――” (Cry)

I offered it to him, but Franz-san shielded His Majesty behind his back and glared at me like a bodyguard would when there is a weapon pointed at his Lord.

“Don’t point that thing towards us! Your Majesty, just in case, get out of the room! Assailant!” (Franz)

“!?” (Cry)

Before I knew it, the knights were rushing in from outside the room.

Franz shouted as he let the Emperor escape outside the room. Even at a time like this, Sytry was still smiling at her own pace.

Wait a minute, I am not an assaillant!

“Don’t touch the key! Once it is activated, this country is over! Restrain him!” (Franz)

Eeeeeeeh…… What do you want me to do?

§　§　§

After all, the human realm is the best.

To the Imouto Kitsune and to the Phantoms from the 【Lost Inn】, people are of a lower race and at the same time lovable fools.

Of course, that is only limited to those who can be easily fooled.

『Kikkikan-san』 who cannot be fooled even when using all their power is an opponent to be wary of (Although the Imouto Kitsune herself can no longer attack him because she has already lost in a battle of wits).

But at least there were no such enemies in this kitchen now. If I folded my arms and nodded my head, people would come out of nowhere, swinging frying pans and mass produce offerings.

A girl in white vestments looked at the Imouto Kitsune with a worried look. Drawing out humans’ true feelings is the Imouto Kitsune’s specialty, and she already knew exactly what was going on.

Apparently, that girl is someone in the position of being a Miko who worshiped the Imouto Kitsune’s Mother as a god. I had no idea that such a person existed, but it was a foolish thing for a human to do, and it had nothing to do with the Imouto Kitsune.

Today, as always, the Imouto Kitsune is using her innate power to the fullest and enjoying her late youth. Eating Aburaage produced by fooling people is a supreme pleasure that satisfies not only her appetite but also her instincts.

Apparently, the people in front of me were members of a secret organization and had an important mission, but that was of no interest to the Imouto Kitsune.

Increasing the number of people to fool is like solving a puzzle that has become a little more difficult.

Then, at that moment, the door suddenly opened.

At the same time, the Imouto Kitsune’s appearance――Had changed into 『Kikkikan-san』, the person that the man worshipped.

When Gaff came without making a single sound from his footsteps and frowned――I turned into the person he thinks is the strongest, into 『Kikkikan-san』.

With my fingertips, I played with a fox mask I had made by transforming an Aburaage that was close to my hand and confirmed this to Gaff in a calm and composed manner.

“What is wrong?” (Imouto Kitsune)

“Yes. The mission is going well, Boss. But the headquarters is saying something strange――” (Gaff)

The man in front of me does not know that I, the Imouto Kitsune, took the appearance of 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》.

Created as a Phantom of a wise divine fox, the IQ of this Imouto Kitsune far surpasses that of humans. She can speak any language she wants and understands the inferior races with ease.

Unless you have an overwhelming intelligence, it is impossible to transform into another person without the opponent you are talking feel a discomfort feeling.

There is no opening in it. As the Imouto Kitsune puffed out her chest, she clearly said.

“…… Bullshit. The Boss is Kikkikan, this one.” (Imouto Kitsune)

“Kikkikan……?” (Gaff)

“But I know what they want. Look, if the headquarters wants it, give it to them. This stuff is actually just for a backup.” (Imouto Kitsune)

The Imouto Kitsune quickly reached behind her and took a *atsuatsu* hot Aburaage from the table, instantly turning it into what Gaff was looking for――A *atsuatsu* hot 『Key of the Earth』.

Gaff hurriedly received the Key of the Earth that I let go and let out a small scream because of the heat.

“Uh…… Why is it like this――?” (Gaff)

“I just put a little too much heat on it. You can take it with you. This will satisfy the headquarters.” (Imouto Kitsune)

Gaff looked puzzled for a moment, but quickly thanked me and walked out of the room.

After all, humanity is stupid. Gaff is considered to be quite strong among humans, but he can’t distinguish between an Aburaage and a Relic.

It is true that the Imouto Kitsune’s illusions are powerful, and in some cases, they can even deceive the laws of the world and they are something that can only be broken if seen through by a strong person with a certain degree of power.

The discomfort will become stronger as time goes on, but the process of deception is only complete when the other party realizes that he or she has been deceived.

The Imouto Kitsune breathed through her nose in satisfaction at the stupidity of the inferior races and the accuracy of her Relic transformation, and then she lay down in the air and started *pochipochi* fiddling with her phone.

…… Come to think of it, that Kikkikan-san still seems to be able to use his smartphone made from different Aburaage wrappers just fine, but when will he realize that it is an illusion?

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

In case you wonder how Cry can still send messages to Imouto Kitsune even though the smartphone is fake it is because her power is so huge that Cry’s fake smartphone could even trick physics law and has the same functionality as a real smartphone.

So as long as Cry does not suspect or discover that it is a fake it is like he has a real smartphone on him.

So you can think that he really has a smartphone as Cry would never suspect that he has a fake smartphone XD

Tchao à plus!
