Chapter 233 Real Boss

Part 1

Gaff-san looked as if he was absent-minded from the beginning to the end. Just like this, he nodded to my command and left the room.

Apparently...... He wanted that rare mask really badly.

Luke and Liz, followed by Kryhi, followed him. The only one left was Lucia, who was my escort, and me.

Sora was single-mindedly moving the pan as if she were escaping reality, but when the Aburaage were fried, she finally turned off the fire and approached me.

If you look closely, you can see that her face was pale.

“Wh-What, are you thinking!? You are letting him inherit that sacred mask!?” (Sora)

“Because, it is not like I needed it......” (Cry)

“Kuh...... No, way...... Are you going to betray me!? After, going so far, are you going to betray me !?” (Sora)

...... I don’t need you to tell me that. It is not like I am forcing Sora to do anything and also I don’t need a mask that would cause me trouble.

That is, after all, just a memento for me. It is better if someone who understands its value keeps it.

There will be a feud with the real “Byakko (White Fox)” if I hand it over to him? ....... I miss the part where this is my problem.

The reason why the situation got so complicated in the first place is because of the (Temporary) Fox Mask Fan Club’s system.

I don’t want to be told that I can’t, by coincidence, have the same mask as them as if possessing one was a crime. And it was Sora who rejected my suggestion to apologize honestly.

Lucia, who had her arms crossed and was looking at Sora with her (usual) dissatisfied expression, sighed a little.

“Leader, what did you do this time?” (Lucia)

“Nothing yet......” (Cry)

“Is it from now on!? What are you going to do from now on!? “Byakko-sama (White Fox)”!! You are, a god! A God! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” (Sora)

“She is kind of saying the same thing as Ti, though......” (Lucia)

Lucia did not even change her expression when she saw Sora fussing like a child with her head in her hands. She had been in the midst of trouble for so long that she was completely immune to this.

If it was just the nerve, then 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》 is probably top-class among Hunters.

I don’t mean to brag, but I am unrivaled in being in situations where I don’t know what is going on at all. And Lucia and others who are close to me are second only to me in being accustomed to such situations.

Sora *bishito* strongly pointed at me.

“I have made up my mind! If “Byakko-sama (White Fox)” says so, then I will bring the other “Miko (Shrine Maidens)” to my sideee!” (Sora)

It is not like we had any bad intentions. As for Sora’s attempt to cover up her mistake, she only did it because she is still a child.

If I show how sincere I am, they will probably forgive us. The problem is just that my debt will increase.

“*Kerooo* Croaaak!?” (Sora-kaeru)

“Right? I am a little bit tied up at this time of the year, so let’s get this sorted out quickly!” (Sytry)

“*Kerokero* Croak, croak! *Keroooo* Croaaaak!” (Sora-kaeru)

Sora wanted to say something, so I turned the jar over and took her out of the jar. Even though Sora was the size of the palm of my hand, her eyes were still *guruguru* rolling around.

I put her down on the floor and asked Lucia to turn her back to normal.

No matter how many times I see it, it is so weird to see a frog change to the size of a person.

Sora looked like she was about to die. Her breathing was ragged and she looked as if she had seen the end of the world. If anything, the damages were probably greater to her mental state than to her physical state.

“Haaa, haaa, I-I thought I was going to die......” (Sora)

“Sorry, sorry. But...... You were trying to run, so...” (Cry)

“O-On what world do you transform someone who is trying to run away into a frog――” (Sora)

She was catching her breath on top of the carpet for a while but quickly stood up and puffed out her chest.

“M-More than that, killing us is outrageous, desu! You are underestimating us! Do you know how many people we are!” (Sora)

“No, I wasn’t thinking about killing all of you.” (Cry)

Or rather...... You make it sound like it is only a matter of numbers, but will it be possible if you are not many?

Even though she said she serves a god, she was quite tough. She flipped her attitude really quickly.

“Like money will solve anything! We are a secret society, you know! We are something sacred!” (Sora)

“...... Theeeen, what am I supposed to do?” (Cry)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Sora getting crazy and how Lucia handling it was so funny!

Sora: “I’m gonna make everyone your subordinate!”

Lucia:? “Nop, become a frog”

And finally a new StranGri meeting! The rest of Strange Grief finally going to find out about the “Fox Fan Club”.

Tchao à plus!
