Chapter 186 Sheet Ghost
Part 2
Fortunately, it seemed that she had already achieved some degree of satisfaction.
When Sheet-Liz nodded obediently, she *mozomozo* squirmed her way to the window and dexterously unlocked it with the sheet still on her face. And without saying a word to the speechless Kruz, she jumped out of the window. We are on the third floor, but she won’t get hurt by just jumping down while having a sheet on her.
I close the windows and properly lock it and take a deep breath.
I turned to Kruz, who was standing there, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened.
“Sorry, sorry, you were talking about charging?” (Cry)
“W-What was that right now? ………… Desu.” (Kruz)
“I didn’t use a lot today, so it should be just the carpet and my shirt, I think. After that it is the nuts… Those nuts, right? But are you sure it will be alright? You looked pretty sick back then.” (Cry)
Apparently, it was a bad idea for me to say that you could use it for training. Hunters are really competitive?people.
I took the bag out and *poripori* munch on some myself. I couldn’t taste its taste because I was too agitated.
Kruz *tsukatsuka* strode up to me, bent her eyebrows, grabbed me by my collar and shook me.
“Haaah? Are you taking me for an idiot, desu!? Do you think you can fool me, desu!? Right now, I am asking you what that was just now, desu! Answer me properly, desu!” (Kruz)
“Aha… Ahahahaha………… S-See, it’s that, you know that…… You don’t know? ……… It was a sheet ghost.” (Cry)
“Kuh…… T-This, Yowaningen, do you think you would be able to say the same thing in front of the Emperor!? Desu!!” (Kruz)
I can’t, you are absolutely right. No I seriously didn’t think that it would have deceived you, you know? I’m not lying, you know?
However, I can’t tell. As I was being shaken helplessly, praying that my Barrier Rings wouldn’t activate, Term and the others rushed into the room after hearing my voice.
“What happened!?” (Term)
The expression on his face turned grim for a moment and then he looked at me and almost went back. However, at that moment, Kruz screamed in a high-pitched voice.
“Term, Yowaningen was talking to a strange guy, desu! This guy… He is definitely doing something without telling us, desu!” (Kruz)
“…………” (Term)
“We are Party Members this time, so Yowaningen must be held accountable, desu! At the very least, selfish behavior in an escort mission is out of the question, desu!” (Kruz)
“I see……” (Term)
She hits where it hurts. However, if it was just the Kruz, I might have been able to talk her out of it, but not with Term or Kechakchakka. What should I do……
After releasing me, Kruz explained the situation with her face bright red.
Term was looking at me as if he was probing me. I could also sense that Kechakchakka was dismayed.
There was no way I could defend myself…… Or rather, Kruz, you could have defended me as we are in the same Clan……
“Fumu…… I understand the situation.” (Term)
When Term finished listening to the situation, he said with an understanding expression.
“That was…… Well…… U-Umu. That was definitely a Sheet Ghost.” (Term)
I stared in wonder at the unexpected cover fire. Term had an expression on his face that I had never seen before. To put it simply, he looks terribly uncomfortable.
Kruz stared in wonder for a moment, but quickly raised her eyebrows and snapped at Term.
“Haaaaaaaaaah!? Are you out of your mind, desu! It is not normal for you to reach that conclusion after hearing about the current situation, desu!” (Kruz)
“C-Calm down, Kruz. It is a very, very rare story that you can find in the city, but…… There are demon of that kind that can… Appear. You can’t deny that the possibility exists. Ah, Kecha agrees with me too, right? Kecha?” (Term)
“Ke…… Keke…… Hihi…………” (Kechakchakka)
Kechakchakka slowly shakes his head vertically in response to Term’s abrupt pass. As expected of the people who are ranked number one in my ranking of cooperative and suspicious people in my mind.
Kruz stomped on the ground and shouted. There were tears floating on her well-shaped eyes.
“What’s with you guys!? Are you making a fool out of me, desu! Do you really think that there’s a low probability of sheet ghosts appearing in the rooms of a high-class inn, desu? If you really think so, then go and tell that to the escort captain, desu!” (Kruz)
“Y-You are absolutely right, isn’t she, ?Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)??” (Term)
“Eh… No……” (Cry)
“!?” (Term)
I am sorry for Term and Kechakchakka, but she is right, that is too much to ask. If I tell this to Franz-san, he will blow his top.
I folded my arms and nodded understandably, and then thought of a new excuse.
“To tell you the truth…… That was a Spirit I used. I asked it to look around the city, just in case.” (Cry)
“A Spirit!? Yowaningen, you don’t have that much Magic, but you were a Magi, desu?” (Kruz)
For now, I just have to get through this. So I told Kruz, who looked half-convinced, half-suspicious of what I said.
“I am sorry if I gave you the wrong idea, but it is a secret from everyone. I won’t go to the point to say that I am a Magi, but I can do some unusual magic.” (Cry)
I guess this is more convincing than the Sheet Ghosts story. (As Sytry says Easy-) Kruz frowned and asked in a voice that was somewhat less angry than before.
“If that was a Spirit, what kind of spirit was it, desuka?” (Kruz)
“………… Sheet’s Spirit?” (Cry)
“Kuh??That’s ridiculous??” (Kruz)
After all, was it unbelievable? No, of course it was unbelievable. Like there would be a Spirit like that. I am out of hand already.
Against this “Spirit People (Noble)”, my high prestige doesn’t work on her.
Kruz was about to raise her high-pitched voice again.
At that moment, I was unexpectedly called out from outside of my room.
It was Franz-san’s voice. I guess she still had enough reason to think that it would be a bad idea to argue in front of the client, so Kruz kept her mouth shut.
I felt as if a helping hand had been extended from heaven. While I was inwardly relieved, Franz-san came in.
The air was tense.
Franz-san seemed to be in a very bad mood. If I say there is a Sheet Ghost or a Sheet Spirit, he is going to cut me down.
Glaring at me with an angry expression on his face, Franz-san says, speaking faster than usual.
“His Majesty summoned you. He would like to talk with you. There is no problem with it, right?” (Franz)
Eh……………… I don’t wanna.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Hahaha a sheet ghost and a sheet spirit, you are such a good liar Cry.
And Term trying to cover for Cry because he thought that he was contacting a Fox member is so funny!
Next chapter we’ll have Cry and the Emperor together! What will happen!?
Tchao à plus!
