Chapter 205 An Unreliable Man

Part 1

“W-waittt! You have to listen to me!” (Cry)

The carpet took quick steps on me and struck my body as I struggled to raise my voice.

I was blown away like a carpet.

The carpet punched me in rapid succession as I rolled over on my back.

If the carpet had vocal cords, it might have been screaming.

Having been released from my escort duty for the time being, I was playing with the carpet in my room at the inn.

Aside from the ramming, the carpet punch didn’t hurt at all.

In fact, it was a little fun.

Being mounted by a carpet is more amazing than riding on a carpet.

I had no idea that such a feature existed.

I tried my best to make excuses while trying not to laugh.

“I told you I’m sorry, but at that time, I had no choice but to do it like this! Even I didn’t want to do that!” (Cry)

Apparently, it was a bad idea to give the Rebellious Carpet’s girlfriend to the fox without telling it.

But at that time, I had no choice but to do so.

Without it, the Rebellious Carpet itself would have been taken.

Anyone would have probably acted the same way if they were in the same situation.

“I had a duty to protect His Majesty.

Besides, weren’t you just hiding in the back!” (Cry)

I tried to appeal to the carpet, but it didn’t listen to me at all.

I don’t know where the carpet’s ears are in the first place, but it keeps *panpan* slapping me on the cheek.

It’s too bad, we were just starting to get along.

But it was my fault.

Let’s just let it be happy and receive my punishment.

While I was lying down and receiving the carpet’s tyranny, there was a knocking sound and the door opened.

The one who came in was Kruz, who, just like me, had been temporarily released from her duty.

She was wearing a light pajama instead of her usual robe that Magi often wears.

Apparently, her physical condition caused by a lack of Magic power had improved.

When I raised my arms while being mounted by the carpet, the expression of a dumbfounded Kruz turned severe.

“Wh-Wh… What are you doing, desu! Yowaningen!” (Kruz)

“Are you already feeling fine Good, good, good.” (Cry)

“A-Answer my question, desu.” (Kruz)

“Don’t ask me, ask the carpet.” (Cry)

The carpet hits me on the head with its *fusafusa* bushy edges.

I don’t think any creature would hit me with its ear, so I guess that part is not its ear.

I would not be badass if I was playing with the carpet in front of Kruz, so I said while catching its arm.

“All right, all right, it is my loss.

I will buy you a new carpet.

A very pretty one.” (Cry)

“……” (Kruz)

The carpet attack stopped immediately.

But it was still on top of me.

I let out a small sigh.

“All right, all right, you lonely one.

As an apology, I will buy you two…… No, three for you.

How about it Will you forgive me” (Cry)

“…………” (Kruz)

The carpet patted my head a few times and then moved out from above me.

Apparently, it is in a better mood.

I get up and *panpan* flick the dust off my shirt.

*Yareyare* Good grief, what a horrific Relic, to make me pay it a tribute, while that tribute will come from me asking Sytry for it.

Kruz seemed completely taken aback.

But the thing called communication is really difficult, you know.

“Yowaningen, you really should take this seriously, desu.” (Kruz)

“I am taking this very seriously though…………” (Cry)

I intended to be serious from the beginning.

But the reason I rarely get any results is not because I am not doing it seriously, but because I don’t have any power or talent.

However, I have my friends with me.

Sytry and the others are away now, but they promised to come whenever I call them.

Kruz frowned, gave a small sigh, and looked at me as if she had regained her composure.

Her white arms and legs were evenly poking out from her thin costume.

Come to think of it, Kruz has white skin because she is a “Forest Spirit People (Forest Noble)”, but some Spirit People live in the desert and have brown skin.

Maybe if she had been in the desert for a long time, she would be tanned and would have become something similar.

When I was thinking about this, Kruz said in a reproachful tone.

“Do you understand Yowaningen.

I’m not on your side, Yowaningen, I’m just following Lapis’ orders, desu.

It means that Yowaningen’s dishonor will dishonor us too, desu.” (Kruz)

“Kruz you are such a great girl.” (Cry)

If all Spirit People are like Kruz, it would be no wonder that humans are looked down upon.

“…… If we look at the result, everything turned out well, but the situation is quite dangerous now, desu.

So we should have a little talk, desu.

Isn’t that right, desu” (Kruz)

“Etto…… It is not like there is any danger, though……” (Cry)

Resultwise, the Emperor safely arrived at his destination.

And since he was attacked, he would not reduce the size of his escort on the way back.

Air travel would no longer be possible, but land escorts should not be a problem as long as he had enough people with him.

I never had an escort request that hasn’t been attacked, but I also never had an escort request that resulted in someone’s death.

“It’s not safe, desu! Yowaningen, you’ve brought in two traitors from the 『Fox (Kitsune)』!” (Kruz)

“Aaaaah………… That was…… A blind spot, isn’t it” (Cry)

“You want me to punch you, desu Hmmm If you have a plan, clearly say it, desu! Do you have a plan, desu” (Kruz)

Kruz was getting closer and closer.

Her skin is soooo white…… I hope you will come dressed properly and not in your pajamas.

Spirit People are supposed to be wary of humans and look down on them, but perhaps I am too much of a goofball for them to be wary of me.

I am precious Maybe I am precious to her Am I being trusted

“No, I don’t.

Now that you mention it, I forgot about Term and the otheeeer…… Where did they go” (Cry)

I looked all over the ship, but there was no sign of them.

They probably had been swallowed up by the 【Lost Inn】, but I can’t say for sure because I don’t know everything about that Treasure Shrine either.

“Don’t ask me! Wh-wh-wh-wh… What do we do, desu.

I honestly don’t think, I can beat that guy with his staff, desu!” (Kruz)

“Uuuuun……” (Cry)

“Once he’s on to you, it doesn’t matter how many guards you have with you, desu.” (Kruz)

Kruz’s expression was grave.

As Spirit People excels in magic, she must be able to accurately grasp Term’s power.

Actually, I don’t really have a very accurate grasp of it.

But it is indeed a conundrum.

Term’s ability is reliable when he is an ally, but he is extremely troublesome when he is an enemy.

Or rather, if it was the power of 《Stillwater (Shisui)》, he could have taken care of the Emperor at any time, regardless of the guards.

Why did he go to the trouble of hiding as a companion If you’re going to assassinate someone, you should have done it when I am not protecting the target.

And let’s not forget about Kechakchakka.

If she is as powerful as Term, then we wouldn’t be able to raise a finger against her.

My Barrier Rings wouldn’t be enough either.

The more guards we have, the more dead we will have on our shoulders.

In other words, there is nothing we can do.

I imitated Sytry and *pon* hit my hand.

“Yosh, I get it.

I’ll take care of it.” (Cry)

“Huh Haaaah What are you gonna do, desu” (Kruz)

Kruz opens her well-shaped eyes wide.

“It’s a secret.

Well, you might think as well that you are on a mud boat1.” (Cry)

“………… Didn’t you mistake it for a big boat, desu.

Hey, what’s the secret, desu Yowaningen, I am your companion, desu! Say everything properly, desu!” (Kruz)

Kruz kept coming back at me.

It seems like she is back to normal.

I smiled with a badass and fearless smile.

Even if we struggle, there’s nothing we can do about it, anyway.

Even if we double our security, we won’t feel safe against Term.

However, I have an Alchemy Ghost that will rush to me as soon as I call her.

No matter how strong 《Stillwater (Shisui)》 is, against my full set of my ghost troup (even if the Wandering Ghost, the one who is the most ghost-like, isn’t here) winning he will not.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading! Here’s an extra chapter thanks to Juan!

Cry is really having fun despite the carpet humiliating him XD

Tchao à plus!

FootnotesI wanted to put you might as well think that you are on the Titanic, but those on board the Titanic didn’t know that it will sink whereas with a mud boat you know that it will sink XD
