The airship shook violently. Kecak Chakka gritted his teeth as he looked out the window and saw the black clouds flowing.
I've been through all kinds of crises. The power he had acquired through his firm will and long years of research had made him an excellent agent. However, for the first time in a long time, Kechackachka was not at all confident in his judgment.

It was all because of that self-proclaimed "Thirteenth" - Krei Andrich.

He didn't seem like a very skilled man to Ketchacka. He didn't look like a level 8 before he was revealed, and he didn't look like a level 8 after he was revealed either.
The man was too carefree and, by all indications, a joke.
No one has ever said "Keke Keke" to Kecak Chakka before, and he has done everything he could, including turning the emperor into a frog and invoking the spirits of the sheets. If it is said that everything was calculated, that's all, but how could the captain of the guard, Franz Argmann, not be kicked out? Kecak Chakka even reevaluated the Order of the Kingsguard, which he had thought to be full of idiots.

To tell you the truth, if that is really the supreme leader of the Nine-Tailed Shadow Fox, Kechacka is not sure that he can survive in this organization any longer.

Is he really a top executive? ......? Even after his identity was revealed, Kechacka's doubts continued to swirl within him.

There is no doubt that Telm is a member of the Fox. But I don't know the man.

Sorcery is a magic that uses resentment and strong emotions to create phenomena. Kecha-chakka, the wielder of this art, is skilled at seeing into the nature of people.
According to his judgment, the Thousand Transformations is just a good-natured person. No, it's a d*mn good nimby. There's no malice or calculation behind his ridiculous actions, and more importantly, there's no scent of death, which a hunter would naturally wear.

But it's impossible. It's impossible.
While looking at the raindrops hitting the window with tremendous intensity, Kecha Chakka weakly whines, "Keke ......".

I don't have confidence in my own eyes. That is something that a top agent should not have.

In Kecak Chakka's opinion, the Thousand Transformations is not a member of the foxes. But he shouldn't be a level 8 hunter either. He's supposed to be just an ordinary person (and a very weak one).

But in fact, whether he is a fox or not, there is no doubt that he is a level 8 hunter. I suspected that he was a shadow warrior, but even if he were to use a shadow warrior, he wouldn't have chosen that one.

Besides, it's impossible for an ordinary person to know the code of the fox. There is no mention of the code being leaked, nor is there any coincidence in the contents.

It was too haphazard. The only possible explanation is that he is hiding his ability with a perfect performance. But that shows that Kecak Chakka is not a good judge of character.
There are so many gaps in Senhenhen Banka that he could kill her at any time if he wanted to. Instead of looking for openings, there are only openings.

Kecak Chakka didn't know what was true and what was a lie.

It was a complicated and tedious procedure, and it would affect Kechackachka's own reputation, but the foxes had an emergency system for verifying members for just such an occasion.
Be sure to check it when you return to the Imperial Capital. Not for the sake of the mission, but for your own sake, you should check.

It was a perfect storm outside. It wasn't the kind of ship that would fall in a storm, but the inside of the airship was in an uproar like a beehive.
The storm was not the power of Kecak Chakka. Nor is it the power of Telm. It's just a coincidence. It's too convenient for Ketchakka and the others, but it must be just a coincidence.

Kecchatka's boss, Telm Apokris, widens his eyes and mutters.

'Storm--I've heard of it. A thousand changes can cause a storm. Has the time come ......? It would be suspicious if it fell now.'

That's impossible. Some magic can cause storms, but the storm outside doesn't have the unique signs of magic, and I don't feel that man has the magical power to use such magic. The usual Kecak Chakka would assert that out loud.
But in reality, the thirteenth one was frogging the emperor without any magical action.

'Keke......'

'You worried, Kecak? No problem. Even the airship's magic is vulnerable to attacks from within.'

Therum rubbed the bracelets on his arms as Kecha Chakka let out a small cry.

This man, the strongest water magic user, could certainly pull it off.
Telm Apokris is strong. In terms of stealth and power, Kecak Chakka has never seen a mage as powerful as this man. If it were limited to humans, it would probably surpass even the Abyssal Annihilation. In fact, it was possible to kill the Emperor as many times as he wanted. It doesn't matter how many guards you have.

But the words that had seemed so reassuring a month ago did not reassure the Kecak Chakka now.

It shouldn't matter. The "Thousand Transformations" is more than just a therem. When the time comes, you can use the proof of the Anti-Dragon to call a dragon. An airship is like a flying coffin.

At that moment, the "Thousand Transformations" entered the room.
When he sees Therum, he smiles at him in a rather silly way and stops him from standing up.

'Oh, you don't have to do anything.

'...... Hmm. You mean it's not time yet?

'Hmm? Oh, Franz-san and the others are moving.

'What? Is that guy one of them?

'What ......? That's ...... true, but ...... well, it's not the time for us to make a move yet.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

That's ridiculous," Kecak Chakka almost shouted, but stopped just in time.

According to Kecak Chakka, Franz Ergman is white. White as white can be. To begin with, according to Kecchatka's research, Franz volunteered to receive the Tears of Truth and proved his innocence. There is no way such a man is a member of the foxes.
At the same time, however, "Senhen Banka" also proved his innocence. He proved it right in front of everyone at the White Sword Gathering, where Kecak Chakka had caused such a commotion. Therum had actually confirmed it with his own eyes. I don't know what to believe anymore.

If this request goes through, I'll take a leave of absence.

Despite Kecha Chakka's weakness, Telm remained calm. He lowered his back.
Is this the difference in experience? I wondered how he saw the "thousand changes" in his eyes. I was a little curious.

Therum stroked his chin and asked the thirteenth.



'Hmmm, ......, then I'll follow you. Speaking of which, there's something I need to check. What about Crus?'

'What? What do you mean?

'You guys seem to be getting along pretty well. ...... Are you sure you don't want to get rid of him?'

'......! Eh! '

Indeed, that spirit man is a distraction. The original mission of the Kecak Chakka was to undermine the prestige of the empire, but if we are going to assassinate him, we must eliminate the witnesses.
In response to Telm's question, the "Thousand Transformations" looked at him in black and white.

Is this another ...... act? Why are you even acting for your allies!

'We don't get along, but we're not going to ...... get rid of you. You guys don't get along, do you?

It's the job of professionals to keep their personal feelings out of the mission. If you don't get along with each other, does that mean that all of your previous friendly exchanges were just an act? And is there a point to it?

'Not that there's anything wrong with that, but ...... that means you're in charge of Crus, right?'

The Thirteenth blinked his eyes at Therme's confirmation, his expression not quite clear, but he nodded as if to convince himself.

'Mmm............ ah, sometimes you have to work like a leader. I'll give a verbal warning to Crus.'

'Verbally ......? ..................Well, I'll leave it to you.'

I'm very worried, is it really okay? I'm not sure if that gesture is just an act or if it means something. I'm not sure if you really think that a verbal warning will keep your mouth shut? I don't think so.
But foxes must obey the orders of their superiors.

There's a lot of noise coming from outside the room. Apparently they're checking to see how the storm is affecting the airship.
There is no way it will affect us. The storm is reasonably violent, but it's not the kind of magic that would cause it to fall. But if the airship actually falls, they will attribute it to the storm.

It seems like the perfect time to sabotage it, but what better time than now?

At that moment, as if sensing Kecakka's doubt, the Thousand Transformations suddenly looked at Kecakka.

His heart raced and a chill ran down his spine.
With a serious expression on his face, he approached Kechackachka and walked straight past him.

He looked at the window and scowled. Kecak Chakka looks in the window as well.



In the midst of a strong storm, a huge white kite was flying in the sky. You rub your eyes and look again, but the kite does not disappear.
On top of it is the spirit of a joke sheet that you saw before, as if it were sticking to you.

The [Thousand Transformations] said with a somewhat puzzled expression.


'............ You're quite good.

As if he had timed it just right, a strong lightning bolt flashed and hit the giant kite. There was a tremendous sound.
The kite carrying the spirits of the sheets was falling. The Thousand Transformations watched it go down with their eyebrows furrowed.

My head was aching. I even felt nauseous.

...... I can't do this anymore. I can't keep up with you.

'...... freeze......'


Kecak Chakka gave up in a small voice and went to the bedroom and hid in the bed.
