Chapter 207 Countryside Bumpkin
Part 2
âHowever, isnât it meaningless if the other side has the same thing as you, but you donât know the other sideâs number?â (Sytry)
âWell, well, calm down, Sytry. I know thatâ¦â¦ You can add a number to your contact list. Am I right?â (Cry)
At that moment, the Phantom girl moved.
She quickly snatches the smartphone from my hand when I was confidently confirming what I said with her, and *kosokoso* stealthily operates it and then hands it to me.
There was a message on the screen that read Calling. She operated it so artistically and without any useless movement. It was way too cool.
âAwesomeâ¦â¦ So thatâs a smartphone pro. It is my complete defeatâ¦â¦ Next time, I should somehow try to get one.â (Cry)
âYou countryside bumpkinâ¦â¦ So embarrassing.â (Imouto Kitsune)
The fox-mask girl opens her tiny lips for the first time.
Her voice was flat, but her neck was red and her body was shaking slightly.
§
âThatâs problematicâ¦â¦ Seems like he can come and take you back.â (Cry)
When I told her the result of my conversation with the Ani Kitsune, the Imouto Kitsune did not show a single sign of agitation. She just sat quietly in her box.
The sound quality of the smartphone was no less clearer than that of the Symphonic Stone. This was the first time I had used it, but I found the smartphone to be much better than the Symphonic Stone, which could only transmit my voice.
Ani Kitsune is apparently very busy right now. The moment I let out my voice, he said, âGehâ, you know, âGehâ.
He very happily said that they finally had a decent intruder, you know. He was talking about Term and Kechakchakka. I? donât know what happened to them, but from the looks of Ani Kitsune, I am sure they arenât having a good time. We can only pray about their future now.
âHe really has a laissez-faire way with you. Maybe Phantoms and humans have different senses of living.â (Cry)
He didnât even say hello to his Imouto.
Come to think of it, he didnât even show a hint of anger when I killed one of the Phantom. Maybe they are not family.
Sytry raises her eyebrows in ponder.
âWhat should we do? When it comes to a Phantom that powerful, it might be a problem to leave it as it isâ¦â¦â (Sytry)
You are perfectly right. The Imouto Kitsune in front of me may look harmless, but her power is real. You never know what she might do.
However, I canât tell the truth to the Emperor. We might get thrown in prison. And I canât even talk to Luke and the others about her. They would try to kill her.
The Imouto Kitsune opened a bag and ate an Aburaage. Inside of the box was littered with Aburaage wrappers.
Why is she so carefree when I am in so much trouble? Her my-pace was truly divine.
ââ¦â¦ By the way, does this country have Aburaage?â (Cry)
âNo, they donât.â (Sytry)
â!?â (Imouto Kitsune)
.
The Imouto Kitsune froze at Sytryâs immediate response. A piece of Aburaage *porori* fell out of her hand.
Of course, right. It was available in the Empire, but I havenât seen many countries where Aburaage is eaten regularly.
And who knows what this Phantom will do when she can no longer get any Aburaage.
Maybe I should just push her to Ark. Such a thought passed through my mind for a moment, but it would be the starting point of another problem. In the first place, it would most likely be a crime to bring her into the Imperial Capital.
I mean, why donât you just fly home already, come on. You can at least fly, right?
If you canât fly, thenâ¦â¦ I know. If you attach the new tail that Lucia refused to use, you can fly, canât you? That problem would also disappear and we would kill two birds with one stone.
I am kind of tired of it alreadyâ¦â¦ It seems silly for me to bother with her. I think I will just leave her here and go home.
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a tug on the hem of my clothes.
The Imouto Kitsune reached out her arm and grabbed my clothes. She didnât make a sound, but there was a hint of melancholy in her voice.
Even if you cling to me like that, I canât even take care of myself, so there is no way I will be able to take care of a Phantom. Actually, you are too weak against Aburaage even though you are a powerful Phantom. You should go to the Aburaage kingdom or something.
Her right hand easily slipped into her pocket. When it came out again, she was holding a silver plate in her handââA smartphone of a different color than the one before.
I unintentionally widened my eyes.
Whâ¦â¦At!? I know what this isâ¦â¦ That is what is called having two handhelds. This Phantom⦠Is no ordinary Phantom.
In one swift movement, Imouto Kitsune held it out to me and said.
âIâll give it to you.â (Imouto Kitsune)
â!?â (Cry)
I deeply reflect on myself.
â¦â¦ Think about it. Cry Andrich. Arenât you a Hunter, and a Hunterâs job is to save the weak.
This fox-mask girl is a Phantom, but she is not a bad Phantom. Donât you feel pity for her for accidentally falling into human society?
Think. You have to think of a way to make everyone happy. There should be one, there is one, there must be one. Now is the time to unleash that power that is normally dormant.
I resisted the urge to fiddle with the smartphone I had received and put it in my pocket, then clenched my fists and said badassly.
âWell, it would be irresponsible to come this far and throw her awayâ¦â¦â¦â¦ I have⦠A great idea that will make everyone happy.â (Cry)
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Nooooo Google translate just changed their text reader voice.
I have to get used to the new voice now. I miss the old robot-like voice XD
But looks like Imouto Kitsune knows how to bait Cry!
But she is so cute when she learned that there are no Aburaage
Tchao à plus!
