Chapter 72.2

Chapter 72.2. Plan L!

I remembered the hidden temple sealed by the royal family. The reason I remembered that was that there were hidden treasures in that hidden room. Most of it get stolen when the temple was unsealed, but there was a small room where I found some useful items.

When I was doing a side story about going to retrieve it, one of the NPCs mentioned it. I don’t remember who said it. It was a shady monster user who made the request, but in the end, they’re a character who tried to trick me into taking that treasure, I had such an experience.

I need to find him before they unseal the seal and kill them out of this world. Plan A. But I couldn’t find him with Munin. Munin couldn’t find the hiding Loki.

So I discussed with Frigg-oneesan the plan if the hidden temple was released. In case the sealed temple is unsealed.

When the stampede happens. I can’t work behind the scenes because I don’t have the power yet. But I can’t let people die for that reason, can I?

And I can expect to think game-like, which is Miu’s weakness. I’m sure I’ll charge in and try my best to complete the quest, you know?

So I thought with Frigg about what to do. The story this time, and the types of enemies that would appear. I don’t know if they will occur at this party, but just in case.

So we put one idea.

Let’s show them my full power and not weigh myself down. It looks like Miu, but her equipment and skill cannot be Miu. The look-alike goes wild. Who is this person?

“Hmmm, you knew well. My name is Loki. I’m a magician who loves chaos and confusion. Please be my guest, gentlemen.”

I bowed my head prettily and greeted him.

The name of the operation is Plan L. It’s an operation to impersonate Loki. The good thing about this strategy is that even if the person is impersonating Loki, the other party will think they look just like Loki.

But I don’t know how to imitate a person. But I’m a little careless, so this strategy is perfect for me. Well, I’m only a little careless, so I think it’s all right.

I’m going to confuse the protagonist, and I’m going to put all the blame on Loki, the character who stirs up the storyline.

And so, everyone is soothed by the adorable Mii-chan’s greeting, the child prodigy, and turns to smile.

And it was not to be.

“Loki! Where is Mii-sama? Why are you pretending to be Mii-sama?”

I am right in front of you. I can’t answer that, so I shrug and answer her.

“I’ve been busy this time. I’ve had about a triple booking of work. I think one of the things they asked me to do was to kidnap that girl. Well, I’m sure she’s driving around right now. This girl seems to be quite talented. I was going to hide with her form, but she was so talented that I couldn’t help but get all worked up.”

I reply in a polite yet teasing tone. Loki has the vice of being a template shape-shifting character who tests the performance of their acquired form. So this is the scenario that they enjoyed in Mii-chan’s form.

The genius actress Mii-chan is scheduled to take a nap after this, dashing into the car used to transport the treasure prepared by the enemy.

“Adamantine-san!”

“Ah! Leave it to me!”

Yamiyo shouted sharply, and Adamantine-oneesan nodded and moved away. Some of the warriors also start to run as well.

“Oh, you’re not going?”

I laugh and call out to Yamiyo. I’m a great actor, aren’t I? Maybe I’ll make my debut as a genius actor.

“First, I have to catch you! I can’t allow you to transform into Mii-sama’s form!”

“I saved people, remember? I think I deserve a letter of thanks, don’t I?”

“Then let’s go with you as you are. I’m sure you’ll get a letter of thanks. A huge reward will be bestowed upon you by His Majesty.”

The captain tells me with a stern look in his eyes, and the warriors around us casually surround us in an attempt to encircle me. It’s an action that doesn’t match what he says or does at all.

But these scene is a template. The famous actor Mii-chan will act according to the template.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll refrain. Well, I’ll see you again somewhere else.”

With a polite bow, I bid farewell. Goodbye, everyone.

“I won’t let you!”

Yamiyo steps in at high speed. But Yamiyo, who isn’t wearing magic armor, is not a good opponent because of her low level. It’s the captains that I need to be careful with. Fully equipped, his level is high.

Imperial ant steps forward to protect me and holds up its shield. Yamiyo’s sword hits the shield, and sparks fly. Then, as imperial ant’s body sinks, its HP drops a little.

What? Imperial ant’s HP has decreased? Even though it protected itself with my shield? What’s that sword? Isn’t it too powerful? Imperial Ant is a level 45 holy knight, a high status monster. It’s insanely defensive.

“Whoa!”

The captains are cutting at me, too. Oh no!

“Imperial Ant!”

[Pride of the Holy Knights]

Immediately, imperial ant used its skills as I commanded. Imperial ant’s skill nullifies the attack on me, but this is bad.

“Well then, let’s meet again!”

I bite him in a panic, but it’s not good if I can’t escape. My parents would be furious with me for being a delinquent. I would be in trouble for many other reasons.

With a shuffle, I raise a small hand and activate my skill.

[Hide IV]

Without an estimated level of 60 to 70, [Hide IV] is impossible to spot. When she disappeared in front of everyone, Miu waved her tiny arms and legs and hurried away. A little uncool at the end, but it had to be done. I didn’t have any practice I was just going to do it.

Just a little bit. See you later.

Miu was leaving this place while watching imperial ant get beaten to a pulp. I’m sorry, Ari-san. I’ll give you a sugar cube when I re-summon you later.

……… Come to think of it. Imperial ant didn’t disappear when the battle ended, did they? I wonder if there is a time limit, I’ll have to look into the summoning system too.
