Term and ketchucka. Quite an odd combination.

Arranged in this way, even the same magician is under the opposite impression in the orthodox Term and in the most suspicious ketchuckah.

But he was an appropriately assembled member, and now he's a comforting ally. Let's sell Fei. If the dragon shows up again, you'll have to fight for it...

Telm opens his eyes to me, who smiles at me. [M] That gaze was toward Cruz holding his chest on the floor.

"... what happened?

"Yeah? Oh, well... a little bit of a lot. I don't care."

It's unacceptable from a prized spiritual man to eat any amount of amusement nuts himself and break his stomach.

Cruz glanced at me with tears and told me to groan with a small voice.

"There, Yowaningen's, you're right. Never mind, so sooo."

If you're just energetic enough to be strong, well, you'll be fine. But a magician is pathetic to break his stomach when he eats amusenuts.

"Talking about shifting escorts? Then, as always, I'm going to have Ketchachka and Telm work together... and the Kingsguards will do quite a bit, but I'm also anxious to leave it to the Kingsguards alone."

Hold the hunter up somewhat while you have a hardboiled grin.

It is due to extremely calm judgment that they are put together in ketchucka and tellum.

First of all, I'm not sure I can communicate with Ketchatka while I'm escorting her. I'm also anxious to get them to work with Kilnite who doesn't know what they're going to do. Cruz is more of a communication weak than I am, and I have no choice but to push Ketchachka into the Term with the erasure method. It was the harm of the dark pot.

"Right, you want some?

When I look at the letters printed on the big bag of nuts I offered, Term frowns and says in a sinister voice.

"............... Amuznuts inhibit magic manipulation. It's not what the Mage eats during the escort."

"Yeah, right..."

Cruz stares up at me with a grudge as he blushes and holds his chest down. I wasn't a magician, so I cheeked up some puffy nuts. [M]

We don't need magic if we're just going to start the treasure.

"But if you insist, the magic inhibition of amusenuts can be tolerated if you work hard. They can be used for training."

That's what Citrie said. Lucia was also following.

I love amusement nuts because I was eating all the amusement nuts I was getting in the box at the time.

Ketchachakka is looking at me with suspicious eyes. [M] Well, I'm not telling you to eat.

"So, if you're not talking about a shift, what can I do for you?

Maybe it's like I can't keep up with leaders like you anymore. Come on, you're the leader.

To me without the nervousness of cheeky nuts, Thelm told me to make a stern look, as if to whisper in secret.

"Thousands of Changes"... you have "Tails" "

"... to?

Not much confusion, eyes open. There is a dumb voice. But the look on Term's face is extremely serious.

Stupid...... impossible. Leaked from where...?

No one should know. Only members of the same party, the Mourning Ghost, know that I have a tail, and I don't think they'll leak it.

But there was strong certainty in Thelm's eyes. It wouldn't be a mistake.

There's no way I'm supposed to have a tail, and I'm not going to delude you.

You mean you can't stand a door in a man's mouth? Maybe I got drunk and talked to him somewhere.

Trouble... I decided to keep it a secret.

Squat and tell Cruz you have a look that you don't know what it is. I'm sorry my stomach hurts, but this is information Cruz shouldn't know.

If it's true, Ketchachka or Telm shouldn't know either...

"Cruz, I'm sorry, but I wonder if you could take your seat off. Because I have something important to tell you."

"Ha... huh? What... ku..."

"This... is a very delicate story. I'm sorry. I'm the leader of this one, right? I'll be done in a minute."

"Ugh... I'll tell Lucia, so..."

Drop off Cruz going outside in a potato-like motion. Next time I'll buy you something sweet that's not nuts.

When I took a big, deep breath, I saw Telm and Ketchachakka.

"Tail". It's not exactly a tail, it's a chunk of living Mana Materials.

We once surrendered when we encountered [Lost Inn] and had no room to resist, but we could never bring anything back.

There was only one thing I took home. To be exact, I was pushed, though.

The tail. As a sign of our survival from the [Lost Inn], we received the last of the thirteen tails that grew up in the Haunted Fox.

Some of the bosses we pushed back to, some years after we were cut off, called the "End of the Divine Fox" a dangerous mass of magic that still has no sign of disappearing.

§ § §

Definitely. The man in front of you is a fox constituent.

Ketchachakka was convinced of Klee Andrich's obvious reaction.

Ask if 'Tail' is present. It is a code known to the members of the fox.

Although rarely used, it is used by lower members to verify the identity of their superior members.

The top members who received it can be deceived or exposed to their identities. It is a mechanism that is made up because the upper members know the lower members.

"The Thousand Changes", which kicked Cruz out, raised his hands not only to say surrender, but to say snarl.

"I don't know where you found out, but you better not be paranoid. I'm in trouble."

"............... you didn't realize. But you thought. Your actions are too suspicious."

Term Apocrys is a horrible man. It has the power required for level 7 and has the prudence required for level 7.

The magic of its handling also goes into the five fingers among the magic guides that Ketchachakka has seen so far. At least with the ability to kill directly, Ketchachakka is not even at its feet.

Concentrate the magic around your body and Thelm takes an offensive stance. Seems natural at first glance, but Ketchachakka, the magician, found its sharp magic and sharpened willingness to kill.

But The Thousand Changes was more natural than Term. After Telm's intent to kill him, he won't change his complexion. It even looks as if you don't know anything.

"Er... oh my god. Did you behave suspiciously?

"Don't admit you're a 'fox'?

"Fox"? No... As you can see, it's 'human'. "

"Thousands of Changes" answers as the code says. Terrible acting skills.

Even if Ketchachakka has all this circumstantial evidence, the man in front of her only looks like a human being.

A half-hearted grin as if troubled by that look. Thelm quietly continues the interrogation.

"How many tails are you...?

"What...?... thirteenth one, though."

Unexpectedly, I open my eyes to the word.

The ninth "Fox" ranks at the top. It can't be XIII or anything. Was the answer unexpected too, the first time that look distorted?

Aside from the confusing ketchuckah, say it in a voice like the one Telm pushed to death.

"Stupid...... only nine tails"

"Huh...? Oh, it's new to me. It grows every time you accumulate strength. Well, you didn't know..."

There was no sign that you were lying.

If that word is true, it would mean that the twenty year old youth in front of him is incredibly superficial.

I had predictions. I have fought more than I have. But still, Ketchachakka couldn't help but be wary of the words.

How talented and proven are you to say that you can be the top executive of "The Shadow Fox of the Nine Tails" in only twenty years? It must be harder to get that far in that organization that lays down thorough secrecy than being certified to level 8 by the Explorers Association.

"Is Cruz one of us?

"No, she's irrelevant."

"Hmm... shall I show you the 'tail'..."

"Seven copies". Term Apocrys, the top member of "The Shadow Fox of Nine Tails," does not put upset on the table and asks.

"Thousands of Changes" blinked his eyes and said the right answer with a loose voice in between.

"No, 'I can't show it now'. Because I'm keeping it with my sister."

Sister...?

§ § §

What the hell was the current exchange?

Put me down, I'm not sure what's going on, and Thelm will ask you briefly.

"Let's hear the plan"

Apparently, that's enough about the tail. Hi Telm seems to have a tail too...... well okay.

We got the tail, so it wouldn't be weird if the Terms had. It's a miraculous chance, but it's not something to talk about while you're escorting.

The tail is a mass of magic. Extremely useful and extremely dangerous for a magician.

Seeing where he said there were only nine tails, he probably got them long before we did.

............... how old is Term? Sure, that fox bastard said the thirteenth tail grew a hundred years ago.

"As I said earlier, the combination is always the same. Basically follow Mr. Franz's words."

"Can I trust Kilnite?

"Hmm? Oh, that's a little suspicious, isn't it? No problem. I can manipulate."

Answer the serious-looking tellum with a light voice. Apparently, he just didn't put it on the table, and he cared.

Controller I wonder where he went......

Well, I don't think there's a problem with independent thinking mode... because Citrie gave it to me.

"Don't worry. I don't think anything's gonna happen for a while."

"Kake..."

"Rather, the problem is since we flew through the sky. If anything happens, there's no escape."

"Hmmm... I understand"

The tellum nods with a serious look. I feel the distance has narrowed slightly because I was found to be a member with the same tail pressed against me.

What's good is that you can't get along with Term and put an end to your obsession with Abyss Fire... Can't you?

"I'll leave the battle to Term. It was brilliant magic. Maybe it's beyond Abyss Fire."

"Rose is too flashy. It's unsuitable."

"Ketchuckka's pretty good, too. I'm counting on you. Thoughtful, spell? wield me."

"Hihihi..."

Ketchatchatka snorts at my instructions for distracting Hardboiled. Apparently he's a lot better than he looks. I want Liz and the others to learn how to work together.

"It's okay. We're the best team. This level of request should be easy. Good luck."

I nodded so loudly, I was in good shape and raised my arms all the time.
