Chapter 222 Fan Club ②

Part 2

Gaff didn’t know about it, but apparently, there was a separate unit.

Either they are deploying their elite in case Gaff’s plan fails, or they have another plan in which a top executive has to accompany them――But if this was not the case, Gaff and the others may be purged.

I said in a stifled voice.

“We are standing by at the site. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.” (Gaff)

Was my neck only connected by a single string? The Boss was confused and silent but nodded his head as if it couldn’t be helped.

“Aaaah, I know. Can I take a picture to commemorate the occasion? It is rare to see so many fox masks in one place.” (Cry)

§

Sora Zoro, the priestess of the Fox-God, was struggling to hold back the nervousness that was showing on her face as she did her work for the first time.

Born from a family of honorable “Miko (Priestesses)”, Sora was naturally raised to be a “Miko (Priestess)” from the time she was a child. In order to do that she has undergone rigorous training.

However, there are not so many opportunities to judge the authenticity of a fox mask. Some family members have completed their duties without ever seeing one of them.

The Boss of the 【Nine-Tails Shadow Fox (Kyubi no Kage Kitsune)】 is the one whom Sora and the others should obey as they are the ones who were chosen by the god and had been given its Relic.

It was a great honor to stand before them, but for Sora, a newbie “Miko (Priestess)”, this was a heavy burden.

The reason for the delay in her decision was because she knew the weight of her judgment. The members of the organization do not doubt the words of the “Miko (Priestess)”. That was why, in the name of the god she serves, it was absolutely unforgivable to make a mistake in judging the authenticity of his identity.

The mask of the young man standing next to her was definitely real. The eyes of the “Miko (Priestess)” Sora are a kind of magical eyes. She can see far more things than what ordinary eyes can see.

It was absolutely impossible to misjudge “Byakko-sama’s (White Fox)” mask, and even if they don’t have their magical eyes, the pressure radiating from the mask was extraordinary.

But on the contrary, the young man who wore the mask showed no signs of power or whatsoever. He was still happily taking pictures, but the power radiating from his body was――Incredibly weak.

No matter how many times I squinted my eyes I couldn’t see anything. This was by far the weakest thing Sora has ever seen. It was to the point where bringing an ordinary person from the city would be stronger than him. What a――Powerful concealment ability!

Sora’s job is to follow orders. Using her well-trained poker face to contain her hands which were almost trembling from nervousness, she told the others in a stern tone.

“”Byakko-sama (White Fox)” is seeking a dragon as a sacrifice.” (Sora)

“A Dragon……!?” (Gaff)

Leaving aside the “Byakko (White Fox)”, Gaff, the one highest in grade among the members who had gathered, murmured. His eyes were questioning Sora about his true intentions, but there is no way I could know the truth.

Even Dragons, the most powerful legendary beasts, are not difficult to hunt if the power of the organization was mobilized. But that was only if they lived nearby.

Powerful legendary beasts are usually found above the earth’s veins――In alienated places where Mana Material has accumulated. There was no way they could be anywhere near a city.

However, Gaff never complained about the impossible task and turned around without asking why.

“Is there any dragon habitat nearby?” (Gaff)

Everyone was shaking their heads. My heart froze and my poker face almost crumbled.

It’s bad…… I said we would prepare a Dragon when I brought “Byakko (White Fox)” with me. I was in such a hurry at the time that I didn’t think about what would happen if I couldn’t prepare it, but it wouldn’t be strange if any punishment would befall me.

Some of the “Miko (Priestess)” in the past generations have been killed for offending “Byakko-sama (White Fox)”. As Sora clenched her fists, “Byakko-sama (White Fox)” said in a hurry.

“Ah, aaaah, it can’t be helped. If you can’t get a Dragon, you can just get one of those chocolate and ice cream ones from the food stall.” (Cry)

“Go buy it now! It is just over there!” (Gaff)

In the dim light, several fox masked who had been waiting at hand rushed out at Gaff’s command.

Is it safe for a secret organization to be so conspicuous?

In front of Sora, who seemed frozen as she was trying to run away from reality because of her blunder, Gaff took out a large bag and held it out to “Byakko-sama (White Fox)” who was standing there.

“Right… Boss. Here is The Relic we talked about. Please accept it.” (Gaff)
