Chapter 209 A Reliable Man 2

Part 1

After all, I am not cut out to be a Hunter. I am not competent enough, and it is also too mentally taxing.

I wonder how many times I have been summoned by Franz-san by now. But it is normal to have meetings during an escort, and I have screwed up a lot, so I have plenty of ideas why I have been summoned so much.

I have been summoned to a lot of places, but no matter how many times I am summoned, I never get used to it. In the background, Kruz was complaining about being pushed around.

“Alright, the only reason I’m going along is because Lapis told me to listen to your order, Yowaningen, desu. However, no matter how much you rely on me, you’re the Leader so you have to be firm or it’ll be problematic, desu.” (Kruz)

“Un, un, that’s right......” (Cry)

It is not good. I really need people like Sytry, Eva, Anthem, or Ark to lead the organization.

What on earth does he want...... With the Conference coming up, Franz-san shouldn’t have time to worry about me.

I went to Franz-san’s room, always ready to give him my best Dogeza at any time.

In front of the room, fully-armed knights from the Imperial Guard stood there like a gatekeeper.

I wonder if they won’t turn me away...... But my hope was crushed to pieces and I was promptly let through. Inside the room, there were not only Franz-san and the Imperial Guard waiting for me, there was also the familiar-looking Emperor.

He had a well-trained body that did not look like a member of the Imperial family, and his fearless face gave him the air of a hero. At that unexpected sight, I could only freeze my expression with a smile.

When I thought I was called by Franz-san, it was the Emperor who was there. Why the heck are you here......?

Was this why some Imperial Guards were standing in front of the room?

Toizant was a backyard country compared to Zebrudia, but when it came to accommodations for foreign dignitaries, they were no less than the Empire.

The desert climate was a bit exotic, but the spacious room was air-conditioned and furnished with expensive-looking furniture. I had no idea how much it would cost per night.

As I enter, His Majesty raised his hand to the guards around him before Franz-san could open his mouth.

“Thank you for coming, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. ...... Leave us alone.” (Radrick)

Except for Franz-san, the Imperial knights followed his order and left the room. The only ones left were Franz-san, His Majesty, and Her Imperial Princess, who was standing still behind him.

I’m sorry for my incompetence. But you wouldn’t normally think that a member of such secret organization would be mixed in with the members of the famous 《Magic Wand (Ma Tsue)》. Besides, Kechakchakka was also very suspicious. Who would have guessed that such a suspicious woman was really a bad guy?

By the way, I think Franz-san, who accepted the members I brought with me, may have a problem as well.

His Majesty checked with me as I was shifting the blame in my mind without expressing it.

“Fumu. Cry Andrich. In your opinion, do you think that 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 is a member of the “Fox (Kitsune)”?” (Radrick)

“No. I don’t think so.” (Cry)

You don’t even need to think about this possibility. His Majesty’s eyes widened as I answered immediately.

“Can you tell me why?” (Radrick)

“If she was a “Fox (Kitsune)”, she wouldn’t be assassinating people.” (Cry)

《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 is a Baa-san similar to an angry fire dragon. If she tried to do something, she would choose to burn it to the ground.

His Majesty frowned at what I said. He thought about it for a while and then nodded his head.

“...... If you didn’t know about them beforehand, then it was unavoidable.” (Radrick)

“...... As you wish.” (Franz)

After a moment of silence, Franz-san responded to the grave words that came out of His Majesty in a stifled voice.

The tide has turned. Kruz stared in wonder. And for some reason, I felt the urge to vomit.

Franz-san opened his mouth. His expression was still disagreeing with the current situation, but he had no intention of objecting. His loyalty is totally admirable.

“His Majesty says he will heartily forgive you for your past mistakes. Normally, this is something that would have never happened.” (Franz)

“This is...... Normally impossible, isn’t it?” (Cry)

“Listen silently.” (Franz)
