Chapter 193.5 The Melancholy of Kechakchakka?

Part 1

The reason for all of this is that self-proclaimed 『Thirteenth』――Cry Andrich.

To Kechakchakka, that man didn’t look like a brilliant man. Before he revealed himself, he didn’t look like a Level 8, but even after he revealed himself, he still looked the same.

That guy is too carefree, and no matter how you look at it, he is too ridiculous.

Up until now, there was no one who had ever said 『Kekeke』 to Kechakchakka, moreover, he did whatever he wanted such as turning the Emperor into a frog and calling forth Sheet Spirits. If you say it was all part of his plan, then that’s fine, but how could Franz Argman, the Captain of the Imperial Guards, not kick him out? Kechakchakka even wanted to re-evaluate the Knights of the Imperial Guards, whom she had previously thought were just a bunch of incompetent.

If she may be honest, if that is really a top executive of the 『Nine-Tails Shadow Fox』 then Kechakchakka is not confident that she can stay in this organization any longer.

Is he really an executive……? That doubt had been swirling inside Kechakchakka long after his identity had been revealed.

There is no doubt that Term is a member of the 『Fox (Kitsune)』. But there is no telling about that guy.

Witchcraft is a magical art that uses vindictiveness and strong emotions to create a phenomenon. Kechakchakka, a master of this art, is skilled at seeing through people’s character.

According to the way she sees it, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is just a――Happy-go-lucky guy. No, he is an incredibly happy-go-lucky guy. There was no malice or planning behind his ridiculous actions, and more than anything, there wasn’t something a Hunter would naturally have, a 『Scent of Death』.

However, this isn’t possible. It can’t be true.

Looking at the raindrops hitting the window with tremendous intensity, Kechakchakka weakly let out a 『Keke……』 whines.

She couldn’t keep her confidence in her own opinion. And as a first-class agent, this is something that should not happen.

In Kechakchakka’s view, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is not a member of the “Fox (Kitsune)”. And at the same time, he shouldn’t be a Level 8 Hunter either. He should be just an ordinary person (Moreover a very weak one).

But actually, leaving aside if he was a “Fox (Kitsune)” or not, there was no doubt that he was a Level 8 Hunter. She also suspected that he was a body-double, but even if he were to use a body-double, no one would have chosen that to be your body-double.

Besides, there is no way that an ordinary person would know the code of the “Fox (Kitsune)”.? She had never heard of any leaks on code, and this wasn’t something that you could get right by chance.

There were too many contradictions. So, the only thing she could think of is that he is hiding his competence with his perfect acting. However, that will prove that Kechakchakka didn’t have the eyes to see through him.

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 is so full of opening that if you want to kill him, you could do it at any time. Instead of looking for an opening, he only has openings.

Kechakchakka didn’t know what was the truth and what was the lie.

It is a complicated and tedious process, and it will affect Kechakchakka’s own reputation, but the “Fox (Kitsune)” have an emergency member verification system for just occasion like this.

She will definitely check it when she returned to the Imperial Capital. He will check it not for the sake of the mission, but for her own sake.

It was a perfect storm outside. This wasn’t the kind of ship that would fall because of a storm, but the inside of the airship was in an uproar similar to a beehive that had been poked.

The storm wasn’t due to Kechakchakka’s power. It is not due to Term’s power either. It was just a coincidence. It was too convenient for Kechakchakka and the others, but it must be just a coincidence.

Kechakchakka’s superior, Term Apokris, widens his eyes and mutters.

“A storm――I have heard of this before. 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 can call forth a storm. Has the time come……? If it crashed now, then it wouldn’t look suspicious.” (Term)

It is impossible. Some Magic can cause a storm, but the storm outside doesn’t have the unique sign that could be seen when it is caused by Magic, moreover, she couldn’t feel in that man the Magical power to use such Magic. If it was the usual Kechakchakka, she would have asserted that without hesitation.

However, the fact is that the Thirteenth Rank had turned the Emperor into a frog without showing any magical signs either.

“Keke……” (Kechakchakka)

“Are you anxious, Kecha? No problem. Even this airship’s Magic is vulnerable to attacks from within.” (Term)

Term rubbed both of his bracelets that were on his arm when Kechakchakka let out a small voice.

If it is this man, the strongest water Magic-user, then he would certainly be able to do it.

Term Apokris is strong. In terms of stealthiness and power, Kechakchakka had never seen a Magi as powerful as this man. If it was limited to humans, he would probably surpass even 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》. In fact, if all he wanted to do was kill the Emperor, he could do it in any number of ways. It doesn’t matter how many guards he had with him.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Oh no Kecha is starting to piece things together!

That Cry’s is really just a happy-go-lucky guy XD

Tchao à plus!
