I've been thinking that this is too vicious for a mere foxface enthusiast to have done. ...... So what? If it wasn't over, I would have thrown up.

What's wrong is not that it's bad luck, it's that we all use the fox as a symbol. It's too confusing.
Not to mention the sister fox who is an illusion, this time there were three types of foxes working in the cleat: the bad fox, the good fox, and the illusionary fox. It's completely incomprehensible. Even if I didn't, I'd probably be mistaken.


Lucia, who seems to have exhausted her magic and had to faint for a while, sighs deeply as she follows me.

'It's a miracle that it was only in the arena. I thought I was going to die too.

'Mm-hmm.'

Anthem nodded, deeply moved.

It seems that Lucia and the other mages did their best to suppress the destruction at the moment the earth key was activated. If it hadn't been for that, it wouldn't have been as bad as this.
In other words, as usual, Lucia and the others covered for my screw-up. This time, though, the area involved was too large.

Countless carriages stopped, loaded with rubble, and took them somewhere. The expressions on the faces of the people cleaning up the mess were not as dark as they should have been.
The reason why there was not too much gloom in the ruins of the arena was because no one had been killed in the collapse.

This is an unusual result of the collapse of such a large building. It was a blessing in disguise that this festival was full of strong contestants and guests.

'Well, there were a lot of hunters in the audience and Gark-chan too. ...... It's a fair result.



'I also cut a lot!

I'm not sure why Luke is so confident in his declaration. I'd like to see you do something other than slash if possible.



But what to do with ............?


'The Empire is in hot pursuit of the fox who released the key to the earth. It's like they've been cautious up until now - apparently the Empire is taking this very seriously.'


Citri poked me on the shoulder, looking very happy for some reason. You always look happy, don't you?

But you wouldn't look so happy if you knew that it was me who activated the key.


The scale of the destruction - even taking into account the fact that I was stopped in the middle of it - would definitely be a death sentence. There's no excuse for accidentally falling down.


In the end, the fox was trying to free the key, so the result was not so different,......, but the trigger.


I frowned, and Citri said with a smile.


'It's a fox.

'............No, but I've got a few things wrong with me too--'

'There's nothing wrong with you, Cry. It's all the work of a fox.'

'No, but--'

''It's the fox.

For some reason, Sitri is stubborn. Luke, Lucia, and Liz all agreed with him.

'I don't know what it is, but it's the fox's fault!

'It's the ............ fox's fault.'

'Of course it's the fox's fault, right? Krai did a good job, and the only ones to blame are the fox and the ............ management for canceling the Martial Emperor Festival because of this!

The fox is to blame.
Apparently, there is no room for objection. Hmm, I think I had a problem with that too. .......

At the very least, I don't think it's the management's fault -- I'm sorry for Luke and the other contestants who were looking forward to it, but if the place is falling apart, it's bound to get canceled.


Sighing heavily, I looked at Sitri, who was smiling and pressuring me to say no, and said.


'But the fox is bad, but so is Sitri, isn't he?



'! Heh!

'Mm-hmm.'

Citry rolled his eyes, and Ansem, who had been silent until then, nodded plausibly.


Well, it can't be helped that it's over. But what should I do now as a level 8 hunter?
The other day, when I got caught up in the [Lost Inn], I was in trouble, but it seems that this time, too, my luck is bad.

What will happen is what will happen anyway, but it seems that it will be a long time before I can retire peacefully like in the dream I just had.

I took a deep breath, stretched out my arms and legs, and left the ruins of the arena with my friends.
