Chapter 243 Great Sinner

Part 1

It’s bad. I went to Eva for advice. But for some reason, everything Sytry had done was being blamed on a secret organization. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Eva leaves the room with the fake princess while moving *kibikibi* briskly. There is nothing that a little figurehead Clan Master like me can say to her when she has a serious profile like that.

The door *pakan* slammed shut, and Sytry’s cheeks, which had a sour look until now *pukuu* puffed up.

“Even though…… I was going to make a big unveiling…… And negotiate with Zebrudia…………” (Sytry)

She didn’t reflect at all…… Not even one bit. What were you going to negotiate?

Speaking of which, Liz once told me.? Sytry does everything without a hitch――But she is also prone to do a major screw-up on a regular basis. I thought Liz was overthinking when she told me that the allegations of aiding and abiding the mass jailbreak were an example of this, but maybe it was true.

What do we do………… About this?

Sytry looked at me with blaming eyes for a while, but she quickly recovered

“Well, but if you think about it, this is in its own way, not a bad move. And it is not like the “Fox (Kitsune)” can protest about it in public…………” (Sytry)

Being positive is good, but you switched too quickly. What’s more, to call a situation where I was having cold sweats a good move………… What are we going to do!

Eva, that girl, she said she was going to talk with His Majesty the Emperor, you know! As expected, the other side is the Emperor of a major power, it should take a little while to get through to him.

I still have time. Let’s talk to Lucia and Anthem.

Sytry, who is usually the most reliable, had twinkles in her eye and did her usual hand gesture by *pon* hitting her hand.

“I know! While we are at it, let’s push a few extra to them! If I cannot get it――Then you can go die!” (Sytry)

“Hey! Who do you think is causing me so much trouble?” (Cry)

“Kya!?” (Sytry)

When there is the need to say it, I will say it, you know! When I grabbed Sytry’s shoulders, her body shook greatly, maybe because she wasn’t expecting that.

The fire was able to be quickly extinguished but most of it was thanks to something like luck. And at that moment, a bottle with bright liquid in it crossed the edge of my vision.

“Ah……” (Sytry)

Sytry raised a voice that seemed to be taken aback. And there was a small sound of glass breaking.

And then――The world became a mess.

I felt a wind that was like a storm. The sound, impact, and heat generated behind me were prevented by the Barrier Ring that had activated.

The footing that we were on collapsed. I immediately hugged Sytry and my vision turned upside down.

Fortunately, the room had a high ceiling. Whether I fall head first or body first, my Barrier Rings are perfect.

As soon as I fell, the next Barrier Ring was activated and I was thrown onto the floor.

On the ceiling――There was a huge, huge hole. It felt like an explosion, but even though there were scorch marks on the edges of the hole, there was no sign of fire.

Is it an enemy? A natural disaster? While I was lying on the floor, confused, Sytry, who was in my arms, said in a small voice.

.

“Aaaaah……” (Sytry)

“What!? What the hell!? !?? Eh!?” (Cry)

“Cry-san, please calm down. It was just――An Modified Explosion Potion that had fallen.” (Sytry)

“!??” (Cry)

Eh? A Potion? ………………Aaaaah …………

Fortunately, the room downstairs seems to have been empty. But the room upstairs――Seemed to be destroyed…… Isn’t it bad?

It was not a common shock. If it weren’t for my Barrier Rings, I would have died for sure. But what a horrible potion to carry around, Sytry.

“Are you alright?” (Cry)

“Of course. Cry-san protected me…… I am unharmed.” (Sytry)

If it weren’t for that Cry-san, the room wouldn’t have been destroyed, tho’……

Finally understanding the situation, I put down my arms and released Sytry from my hug, but she did not move from above me. She continued to *gyugyu* press her body tightly against me and put her nose to my neck. But I didn’t have the energy to push her away.

My heart is about to jump out of my chest after all this. The Barrier Ring protects me from attacks, but it doesn’t make me stronger.

I feel like I am going to throw up when I see the pieces *parapara* falling down. I was going to scold Sytry for making the fake Princess, but I can’t scold her for this.

Then I heard a *batabata* flapping sound in the room above. I heard the door opening and then Eva looked down at us through the hole.

“Wha-What――Is this, what happened!?” (Eva)

“Ehmm……” (Cry)

What excuse can I say…… Eva is used to our members being outrageous, but as expected, we won’t get away with it if the room she was staying in was destroyed.

Then, Sytry touched my neck with the tip of her lips for a moment, and then stood up and said it loud and proud.

“Everything is alright, Eva-san. We are alright, it was just――An attack from the “Fox (Kitsune)”.” (Sytry)

!? Don’t tell me, I am…… The “Fox (Kitsune)”!?

Eva gasped with a pale expression. Sytry took my hand and helped me to get on my feet.

I was still weak and wobbly on my feet and I had to borrow a shoulder, but soon my strength came back. For better or worse, I am used to accidents. Mentally I feel like throwing up, but physically I am fine.

“There is no problem, this is――A remote attack. The assailants are probably already running away in fear of Cry-san. We have to…… Set up a strategy. Contact His Majesty, the Emperor now!” (Sytry)

My childhood friend’s mentality is so strong that it is dangerous. It is as if she is used to this.

Maybe because he heard the sound, Sven came and peeked out of the hole.

“Ooooh, ooooh, you got hit pretty hard, didn’t you.” (Sven)

“…… We are unharmed. But the floors and furniture aren’t as sturdy as I am tho’……” (Cry)

I scolded my heart that was about to crumble and pretended to be as badass as I could.
