Chapter 190 Ghost Unit ②

Part 1

Kechakchakka didn’t know what was going on as the scene unfolded in front of her.

The other side is a top executive of an organization that is completely secretive. So the number of people he could use would be incomparable to that of a single agent like Kechakchakka.

Therefore, there was a group that suddenly appeared without any warning, and 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 started giving instructions to the group. That is still fine.

However, if the group was wearing white clothes, even if it was 《Still Water (Shisui)》 who was here, he would have been confused.

Although it shouldn’t be something that Kechakchakka should say, that group was clearly too suspicious.

They were wearing clothes that would catch your eyes just by walking around. Even the most selfish Hunters and Magi who don’t care about their appearance wouldn’t dress like this.

What caught my attention, in particular, was the huge mass who I had to look up to. Kilknight was big, but the one that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 called 『Giant Ghost』 was incomparable in size. I don’t know what was inside it, but from the muffled voice it made, I am sure it contains something with intelligence inside.

The training didn’t make sense, but it was such a shock that it blew all that away.

I came along because I was curious to see how big the training of a 『Thirteenth Rank』 would be, but if I knew that was going to happen I wouldn’t have come along. I should have gone with Term on the escort mission or prepared for the air travel. This wasn’t something that Kechakchakka could understand.

One of the Sheet Spirit was staring at Kechakchakka.

Just from its presence, she could tell that it was someone powerful, but she doesn’t know anything more than that. Nor does she know why it was carrying a wooden sword on his back.

But even more than that, she doesn’t know what was in the mind of 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 who was happily giving instructions to them. She doesn’t even know if he was serious or just joking. She wondered what Franz, who is the client and always so serious, would have looked like if he were here.

“!?” (Kechakchakka)

The 『Alchemy Ghost』 put the large backpack that could hold a child inside on the ground and attacked Kruz, who was lying on the floor in exhaustion.

When it covered her, it pulled her body down into the sheets. A muffled scream of Kruz, who shouldn’t have the energy to scream due to overusing her Magic power, came out but was immediately silenced.

The small pile of sheets was *mozomozo* squirming around.

“There we go.” (Cry)

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 nodded his head in satisfaction. And when he noticed Kechakchakka’s gaze, he said with a half-hearted smile.

“Alchemy Ghost is good at healing.” (Cry)

“Keke……” (Kechakchakka)

Healing? That was…… Healing? No matter how you look at it, it only looks like it was preying on Kruz.

I heard that Kruz wasn’t a member of the Fox, so maybe he was just trying to seal her mouth, but this wasn’t the right time to do it.

Ignoring Kechakchakka, who was at the peak of her confusion, the 『Thirteenth Rank』 of the secret organization spoke proudly.

“The Thief Ghost is extremely fast. It would take less than three days to do a roundabout trip from here to the Imperial Capital. Okay, I am counting on you.” (Cry)

The smallest ghost blurred for a moment and disappeared. It ran and left the area.

As he had explained, it had a tremendous instantaneous force, as even Kechakchakka who was confident in her dynamic vision, could barely catch it leaving.

It was a Magi-Killer. It was obviously true for Kechakchakka, but even for Term, it would have been too fast for him to react, even if there is almost no time lag before his Magic activates.

They might look stupid, but they are not just regular members. With this kind of talent with him, assassination would be easy. Maybe the reason the mercenary group I requested didn’t show up was because they were hit by this.

The 『Thirteenth Rank』 continues to explain while Kechakchakka was still stunned.

“The Magic Ghost is good at Magic. The Sword Ghost…… Loves swords………… Etto………… The Giant Ghost is… Particularly big.” (Cry)

“…………” (Kechakchakka)

“………… If I say they are Spirits that I use, do you think they will let me take them on the airship with me?” (Cry)

“Keke……” (Kechakchakka)

It is not good. I don’t understand what he is saying, whether the real meaning of what he says, or whether he was being serious or not. Don’t think too deeply about what he said. There is no way they will allow them to come onboard. If such a farce could be accepted, Zebrudia would have collapsed long ago.

Kechakchakka let out a small cry and ran away from the training grounds.

§　§　§

“Cryyy! What’s the Sword Ghost who loves swords have to do?” (Luke)

“………… You don’t have a turn for now, so why don’t you just swing your sword around?” (Cry)

“Uh………… Uooooooooooooooooohh! Swinging my sworddddddddd! It’s hard to swing, it is so hard to swing my sword! I’m still immature!” (Luke)

Grasping his sword through the sheets, the Sword Ghost begins to swing furiously.

The Sword Ghost loves swords and is unrivaled at slashing, but he is a flawed ghost that can only do that. It is also a troubling ghost that could be satisfied with the current situation where he only had to swing his sword.

…… After all, I won’t fool them, heh? Kechakchakka was also gone while he was astounded by him.

Well, just them being here is very reassuring. The Alchemy Ghost who I asked to heal Kruz slowly moved away from her. Kruz who fell on her face didn’t *pikuri* move a muscle at all. She probably fainted after being given a very bitter Magic Recovery Potion.

“Thanks for the help. But this outfit…… Did you hear it from Liz?” (Cry)

The Alchemy Ghost didn’t answer but instead tried to lift its sheet up and cover me in a big way, but the Magic Ghost pulled her down and grandly fell over.

The content of the Alchemy Ghost *gorogoro* rolled around. The ghosts had no features, so by process of elimination, it was the Magic Ghost who, without looking at the consequences of her actions, said in a cold voice.

“Leader, please stop playing around during escort requests. It is because you do something like this that you are making new enemies.” (Lucia)

“……” (Cry)

I don’t remember ever playing around though……

At any rate, I took off the Barrier Rings, which were troubling me because they were empty, and handed them to her. When she received it, the Magic Ghost was *purupuru* trembling.

We moved from the training ground to a nearby room where Sytry and the others were staying.

The inn where Sytry and the others were staying was about a kilometer away from the one we were staying at. It was a near top-tier inn for Hunters.

The hotel we are staying at is one of the best in the city, so theirs isn’t as good as ours, but as a poor person, I would rather stay here.

Sytry, who took off her sheets and changed her class from Alchemy Ghost to Alchemist, said.

“This is the maximum distance that the Communication Stones could reach.” (Sytry)

“Communication Stones?” (Cry)

“It is a recently developed magic tool that incorporates communication Magic. It was something made by using the Relic, 『Symphonic Stone』 as a reference…… Although the performance is significantly inferior, it is a mass-produced product. I have also incorporated it inside Kilknight.” (Sytry)

“Eeeh…… That is quite convenient.” (Cry)

“Well, even though I said use it as a reference, it is still a Relic, so I could only just imitate its function……” (Sytry)

What Sytry showed me was a square stone of the size of a fist.

Compared to the Symphonic Stone, it seems to be less portable and since it didn’t have any limit in the distance of communication, this one is completely a degraded version of it, but it will surely have many types of usages.

I have never even heard of the term “Communication Magic,” but there is something about Magic that says that everything is doable, so, yeah…….

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Sorry for Kechakchakka’s gender, I’ll make a post with all the character illustrations someday.

And I started to play Slime Tensei and FF7 First soldier on my smartphone, and man I am tryharding so hard on slime tensei. So tired…

Tchao à plus!

Just discover that Kechakchakka is a woman! Saw it in the She looked like the witch in White Snow.Etto : Japanese onomatopoeia for something like “Ehm”
