At Tasmania Devil, a bar dedicated to residents of the back streets in Kandoville, four people, Tired, Silvia, Apricot and Sa Chest, joined Busuke and Li Mei.
"That was... originally a clan of fox monsters. It turns into a human figure… it's called a converted fox."
Tired talks about raiders.
"Once I... with a mentor I knew in China, I thought about manufacturing a doppelgenger. I also tried to make a technique for it, but it didn't work."
So I delimit the words, and I'm tired of putting Cassis Orange on my mouth.
"So I laid eyes on a family of fox demons that can only be turned into people on the outside. Just like people... I tried to figure out the art of transformation, and if I could just copy the appearance and voice... if I applied it, I wondered if I could also copy the memory and... abilities... yes... And to dramatically lift their power... succeeded"
"You mean easy cloning...... I hear a lot about making clones and switching them with dignitaries, but if you're a doppelgenger with original transformative abilities, don't bother making clones."
Hearing tired stories, Sylvia said.
Sylvia has heard stories of successful clone memory transplants in part. And I also heard that it was still incomplete. He said there were even cases of clones going wild when he made a dignitary replacement. Of course the case has not been made public. Human cloning is in itself an international prohibition.
It would be much more useful than making incomplete clones at a cost if we could follow those capable of copying, including abilities and memory.
"Successful means that you can follow the fox in large quantities as a full copy capability person and also make the replacement happen?
Ask in a tone where apricots can't hide their excitement.
"Yes."
Tired of answering lightly.
"During the Great War... I was on the Chinese side. To various countries around the world - to the United States, which was particularly hostile to China - he had sent many foxes… to replace them with dignitaries. The foxes alone... are not enough, so I was flying a schizophrenic body and doing a mind hack too... Oh, that story isn't important... so I'll leave it..."
"That's a great scale story..."
"The boulders are just called the most powerful sorcerers."
"I'm hickey now, though. Ha ha."
Sa Chest and Apricot roar, Li Mei laughs at ease.
"What matters is how the tired foxes now resent you the other way around and are the spearhead of the attack. What have you done to the foxes? Tell us why they resent you."
Fusuke, dressed in arms, asks.
"Follow the order... you talk. Some of the foxes... awoke more power than they could turn people into... drowned in power and thought that they were... the kind to stand on."
"Well, that's a common story."
Li Mei makes a tea.
"They who were pure... were getting weirder and weirder, creating their own... kingdoms to rule humans, to be kings... even say that... Never treated them badly, and I still don't know why I had such a pointless ambition..."
I remember what happened at the time, and tiredness makes me feel dark. From there it's an extremely unpleasant memory.
"I'll say no... but there's no such thing as restraining them to make them look terrible... at all... By mutual agreement, we tried to improve their power."
"You don't even remember being resented? That's where it matters."
Busuke goes in and asks.
"No... I remember being resented, there are two... That's the answer from here. Some of them swelled up their ambitions... and then they ran wild... so only they disposed of them... They were harmful to people..."
The disposal took place tirelessly. Some of them were foxes who became intimate with tiredness. Many of their sights, expressions, words and voices when they are killed by themselves are still unforgettable.
"You didn't kill them all, did you?
Apricot asks.
"Yes...... Especially those who go crazy and start killing people. And after the war... I'm in my current state too... They should have been freed…"
"By supposed to be, you mean you haven't checked since, have you?
"Yeah..."
Tired replied with no confidence to the apricot that went in and asked.
"It's just... that the matter wasn't between the foxes or that they were divided... it's not like all the foxes resent me. Clearly they had a terrible rampage...... those who had no choice but to be disposed of gave up too...... And some of the ambitious ones were moderate and... extremist, and the moderate foxes seemed to be antithetical to the extremist way..."
"Wasn't the fox a single rock? But if tiredness killed all the extremists, because that disposition is too tight, you mean you were resented by moderates and foxes who didn't have weird ideas?
Sa Chest, who had been listening in silence until now, asked the question.
"Right...... But the decisive thing... is the other one."
"What did you do with the other one?
When Sylvia asked, Tired exhaled and opened her teasing mouth a little while later.
"I ended up abandoning it... The replaced foxes..."
"Abandoned?
Sa Chest gives a surprise voice.
"Many of the foxes who were in the United States died when ballistic missiles equipped with anti-matter bombs were shot. So... they thought I abandoned them. I... didn't mean to... But... I can't say I'm not responsible... The first... I spoke to them... and... That's... that's it. Anything else...... any questions?
Tired looks over and confirms with him, but no one tried to ask him any more.
"I'll tell you what I know."
Busuke speaks out.
"They're in a place called the Ming Shi Shrine. Looks like they're building a huge subspace there, but getting inside this is going to be pretty bad. Even that Decaying Rope clan lost. And even though there was the Lord's Decaying Rope Masato,"
"What's with the decaying rope in the savory shop?
Sylvia slightly frowns. Decaying Rope Witchcraft is a Silver Storm Hall that also interacts there. I know what they are.
"They destroyed the witchcraft school they were imploring, and they said it was their revenge. But as a result, the lives of many decaying rope magicians were lost, and the Lord's decaying rope Masahwa was also severely injured."
"That's him..."
When I heard about Busuke, Sylvia groaned. I know the strength of Decaying Rope Masaru.
"Masawa said, it seems unsavory to go into base. But I couldn't hear the details. Sounds like you're not in the mood for a fight."
And, Busuke.
"So, what are we going to do? You know the enemy Ajito, don't you? So, even if it's dangerous, you have to go hit the enemy's base and take his head off, right?
Li Mei says. Everyone felt that the word was intrinsic.
"I contracted a cheap one earlier, but can I keep up with a big scale story like this? Does that help? I can only imagine pulling my leg..."
Sa Chest, who becomes a nagging addition and a weak voice.
(You're not as useless as you think you are, and on the contrary, you're a competent person, but when are you gonna realize that for yourself? Good old......)
Sylvia thinks as she looks at her breasts. But I won't put that in my mouth. Because Sylvia thinks you should realize it yourself, because she knows how convincing the words are.
"Uh... there are other choices besides fighting..."
Tired spoke with hesitation.
"The place I live in... is an unlimited safe place, so if I stick around all the time... I think I'll be fine"
"Um come on..."
Li Mei, who hears tired words and shouts her face as much as she wants.
"It's not like you're okay, or you can't let those noisy people go wild, or you're not responsible. If you leave me alone, I'll be sure to scatter the disaster."
Tired shushes and nags at Busuke, who speaks the truth.
"I don't like that way of repression. If you want to run, you can run, I will."
"No, no, you can't run away. You said you were already exhausted and dead."
Sylvia disagrees with Busuke's words, but Li Mei further denied it.
"If I run away, you won't have to bother everyone..."
Tired of saying it in a modest voice.
"One of the secrets to doing well in the back streets is taking care of others as much as possible. Especially Rookie. So you don't have to worry about bringing in trouble. 'Cause I can have it. I can have it."
"It seems like the odds are high before they repay you."
Apricot said in a gentle voice, and Li Mei teared it up with a smile.
"There's no escape. Tired, this is what you caused, and I don't know what those foxes are up to and about to do. At least we need to be sure of their will."
Said Busuke in a harsher tone and eye. Tired takes a heavy sigh.
"I don't even know how dangerous the place is, but let's be vigilant about the traps that will be overshadowed and get into their subspace Ajito, which is in the shrine at Ming Hour in small numbers at first"
"Who's the candidate?
Busuke cuts it out and the apricot asks.
"So, Busuke, me, Li Mei..."
When left alone, it was all going to be decided by Busuke, so I had no choice but to speak out of tiredness. Tired decides that he should take the lead as much as possible when this happens.
"You should take turns with me and Li Mei. The opponent is from the paranormal realm."
Sylvia offers.
"No, let me do it. I'm all revenge, too, and I'm going to interact with people in the paranormal realm. I'd like to get used to it."
But Li Mei insists with a true face.
"Sylvia dared... to turn to a modest waiting group. There's no danger in the queue either... I can't say there's no danger, and I'd be comfortable as a rescuer if the advance party were trapped, modest or strong... Because Sylvia can be used as a force..."
Explain why tiredness took Sylvia off.
"You're surprisingly solid, Li Mei and you're tired."
"Ha ha, you underestimate me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have done much in this world."
I laugh back at the usual Li Mei, teasing Sylvia.
"You want to go now?
"Yes... let's do that"
Tired nodded at Hideyosuke confirming. If this happens, you better act fast.
"Shall we go nearby?
Sa Chest speaks to the apricot.
"We may want to go home and try to gather information. Paranormal information networks are negligible."
"Okay."
To the apricot words, Sa Chest nodded with inner relief.
"I'll accompany you to that subspace just in case."
I read tired intentions and Sylvia offered.
"Now… let's begin our action. Ladies and gentlemen... Regards"
"Oh, let's have some fun."
Li Mei giggled and gave a mild voice, tired of standing up and bowing.
