!

　The moment I uttered the words "chameleon user," the smile on Mr. Slim's face disappeared.

　It seems it was bingo.


　In Mövius Online, there is a demon called a "Wraith".
　This guy was called a chameleon by everyone.

　Why? The reason is simple: he can transform (...).

　Wraiths can turn into everything. He could turn into a demon, he could turn into a player or an NPC, and he had the ability to turn into a plant, a bench, a large sword, or anything else that was approximately 1-2 meters long.

　Perhaps Mr. Slim is taming the Wraith.

　I'm sure that Mein, whom I met in the corridor right after the first battle, and Kapito, who was talking about the hostages just now, are both transformed by the Wraith. If you think about it, it's strange that the king of a country didn't have a single bodyguard, and the fake Kapito-kun's words and actions and everything else were strange.

　That's why he was using cowardly off-the-board tactics, such as trying to keep me away from the Spiritual King's battle, and disrupting my mind by leading me to lose by himself.


　And.

　I could tell by the way you were looking at me earlier. Mr. Mister, you glanced at the ground (...) behind me, didn't you ......?



Start.

　The order is given.
　Mr. Slim immediately invoked the "Spirit Summoning". In terms of direction, a water spirit?

''Possession.''

　Similarly, I also activate 《Summoning Spirit》 and 《Spirit Possession》 almost simultaneously.

''Hmmm, is it your intention to go after me?　Or, like in the first game--

　Slim begins to speak inarticulately about something, probably in an attempt to attract attention. It's probably an attempt to attract attention. It's more obvious what you're up to.

　You're a fool. If you had pulled away when I pointed out that I was a chameleon, I would have let you off the hook, but I won't allow it anymore.


　I completely ignored him and took a step back as if to fly wide, and then unleashed a full--heel drop (・・・・・・) on the spot.


''Nnaa......?''

　Slim opened his mouth angrily and froze.

　Something (...) wriggled at my feet. I let it go, "Humph, humph! I kicked him repeatedly.

'Nah, dammit ......!

　Slim, with an impatient look on his face, pointed the water-attribute looking spirit towards us--

"(It is the water spirit, Aquella)

　Err, I'm pointing the water spirit Aquella towards me and chanting 《Water Attribute, Ichino Type》.

''(Ale, can you do that?)'
I'll see what I can do.

　It seems to be possible.
　A prerogative of the Great Spirit King that only applies to a cunning spirit and its master.


"(Kneel!)

　--The thunder of domination.

　A moment later, a red bolt of lightning gushed out from the tip of my outstretched hand, pinning Slim and Aquella to the ground.


''What is this!　What did you do?!
'......!　～Huh?

　It is a "bad character technique" unique to the Great Spirit King, forcing the head down only for those who are scared.

　Akuera is a quiet spirit, or perhaps she doesn't say anything, but her face is one of surprise. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it. It's the kind of face that is annoying.


''Well, first of all, let's talk about this guy's case.

　I grab the translucent, doll-like demon limping at my feet by the neck root and bring it to Slim.

　This is the Wraith. It has been transformed into the ground by stretching out its body thinly behind me.

　It has little fighting ability. Hence, as soon as I kicked it a few times, it was immediately stunned.

"Ggghhhhhh... ......!

　Slim snarled in spite of himself, because he was caught in the act. The reason is because the "foul" was exposed.

　I've been summoning Wraiths and planting them on the ground behind me even before the match began. The summoning of both spirits and demons must take place after the start of the match. Hence, foul play.

　This guy's plan was to get my attention with his clever talking technique (laughs), and then move the Wraith to his feet while he had the opportunity to move the Wraith to his feet, and then he was going to catch me off guard and entangle my legs so that I couldn't avoid Aquella's attack.

　Normally, I wouldn't notice that. In the first place, it's common knowledge that people in this world have never seen a demon that has such an ability. That's why Slim was able to climb to this level with this strategy.

　Hmmm. It's a foul, but it's not a bad strategy. The focus is good, and there's no way they can see us. I don't think it's possible for anyone to imagine that there's a monster that can turn into the ground.

　Just one thing. It's a shame that ...... I was the former world number one. Plain and simple, that's all I'm saying.


'I'll let you choose whether to lose by foul play or by KO.'

　The ref doesn't seem to notice. That's not surprising. If you don't know the wraith, you can't make a decision.
　But if you explain it carefully and carefully, I'm sure they will understand. Even though the two crowned champions are in a match that can be won overwhelmingly, they will go out of their way to explain the opponent's infractions. I'm sure they'll trust you.

Let's fight to the end of ....... I am one of the edges of a summoner. This time, let's do it fair and square.

　Slim must have known that. He chose the one that had the least chance of remaining.


　Fair and square, huh? Believe me, the words.

"You can undo the thunder.
"(Gyoi)

　I instructed Angolmore and then walked back to my original position, daring Slim to turn his back on me.



'--Fool!　You thought the Wraith was one thing!


　............ a la la.

　Apparently, Slim had only one more wraith lurking around.
　The second wraith was tangled up in my legs and wouldn't leave me.

　When I turned around with only the upper half of my body, there was Aquella, who had already completed the chanting of the Water Attribute Santino Type, stunned.

　This bastard seems to have been intent on hitting you by surprise from the very beginning.

''As I thought.

　Angolmore muttered happily. I don't need to see it. 'You're grinning, dude.

'(Is it bad?)'
(No. ...... me too.)

　Mr. Slim. That surprise attack was clearly a blunder. At the very least, it should have been done after my 《Spirit Possession》 was released.


''Gaaaaaahhhhh--!

　A yell of spirit. Rushing at full power.

!

　Wraith getting to his feet?　It doesn't matter. The image is of a munchkin' rugby player who drags his opponent to try and get tackled with nothing to show for it.

Ugh, shoot!　Shoot!

　Slim hurriedly gives instructions to Aquella, but it's too late. If I move seriously with my AGI in the state of 《Spirit Possession》, it's a sensible instantaneous movement. I can easily duck the "Water-attribute Sanno-type".


　I mean, I'm ......, but I won't duck!


What?

　I collided head-on with the Water-attribute, Sanno type from my face.

''Gohhhh!

　Ow!

　d*mn it. It hurts, it even bleeds, and there's nothing to be gained from it.


　But now I'm going to take all of ...... Slim's measures, and then I'll be cornered.


'How dare you, ......!
You ate it all on your own!
"Shut up!

　Slim took a step or two back, forgetting to even continue the attack.

　I'm freaking out. Then I'm glad I did.

"(Hahaha!)

　Angolmore laughs. Yeah, I feel like laughing, too. My face is so sore it's not moving.


"Gahhhhhhhhhh!

　I instantly crammed up to Slim, bellowing recklessly. Slim looks red, probably because of the blood in his eyes.


'...... hi ......'

　Point blank range.
　Eye contact, eye contact.

　And then...

　And then... we went head to head...

　Headbutt!　Headbutt!　Headbutt!



Oh, come on!　Winner, second first test!


　...... won.

'Haha ...... haha ...... haha ......'


　Suck it up and watch it happen.

　This is the kind of scary thing that happens when you do something cowardly in a title fight. You've learned your lesson, mister.



　　* * * *.



"............ holy shit.

　In the audience. Sherry Lumberjack was slightly bruised.
　No matter how much he admired her, that was still too scary.

''You looked like the face of Hannya.

　Muttering next to him is Jerez Lumberjack. He is Sherry's own brother.
　There is no such thing as Buddhism in this world, but the aspect of Prajna exists. It is an item of equipment. I was aware of the existence of hannya masks, and therefore he was aware of their existence.

I'm sure it was scary. It's true that there was a strange rumor about that Mr. Slim guy.
''No matter how many times you've been reversed, would you deliberately take magic in your face just for that reason and head-butt it with a face full of blood and a face like that?
...... He could do that. He's the guy who beats a girl to death with a stick of goo?
'Hahahahaha!　That's insane. He's still an interesting guy.
I can't help but notice how much your brother likes that guy.
'Yeah. From the moment I heard he brought Elnte and the Mix sisters to their knees, I've been neck and neck with him.
"That guy did some really bad stuff!

　Sherry is astonished at the new revelation, and for some reason, Hales has a smiling face.

　One of the maids looks at these siblings with white eyes.

Listening to it from the side, it sounds like a terrible man's story. ......
Mariposa thinks so. That's pretty harsh.
No, I'm just making a general observation.

　The maid, called Mariposa, gave Jerez a stern look. He and she were master-servants, but they had an unusual rapport that made it seem as if they were the opposite of master-servants in normal times.

''I, you know, I think of him as a rival without permission. I lost the final of the First Flash ZA tournament right away, but that won't be the case next time. I'm grateful that I found the goal I should be aiming for. Hence, I can't help but look at him as a patron.
Master Jerez. I have nothing bad to say. Let's not set our sights on a second double crown.
That's right, brother. You'll never win, no matter how hard you try.

　The maid and her sister, in response to Jerez's narrative, stopped her with a straight face.

　To these two, Jerez returned with a challenging smile.


The higher the goal, the better. The higher the goal, the better. That's why you should do your best!　Hahaha!







"d*mn it ......, that man will never forgive me ......!

　After the game.
　Mr. Slim woke up from his stun and walked down the aisle, pissed off, recovering his HP.

　The reason he was so wary among summoners. It was because of his clingy personality.

　If they didn't like him, he would use his top-secret demon, the Wraith, to hunt them down socially. As a result of doing this for so long, the word in the community was out that "Beware of Mr. Slim.


"Hee hee!　Watch it, Secondo: ...... I'm going to obliterate you socially ......!

　Because I don't like it, and that's what Mr. Slim was.

"Lace. Hang on to me!

　He motioned to Wraith. Then Wraith stuck tightly to Mr. Slim's body, wrapping it in a single thin layer of skin. And .......


'The Second will be in the waiting room by now.

　...... Mr. Slim's appearance has been transformed into the Second itself (・・・・・・・・).


　This is the reason why people are most wary of Mr. Slim. Mr. Slim has used these changes to do all sorts of little and big bad things, from harboring women to scamming, which he has invented in his own right.

I'm going to end that man's life: ......!

　Mr. Slim, in his second form, had only one destination in mind.

　He could only think of one person who would have the greatest impact on him socially.



''--Mr. Mine!　Is Mine here!

　He walks up to the seat where King Castal sits and shouts at the top of his lungs.

　Mr. Slim thinks, "What do you think? Mr. Slim thinks, "I called you out.


Oh, Mr. Second. How can I help you?
............ Yeah.

　His Majesty King Mein approached me, not surprisingly, despite the fact that I had been rude to him and had called him to me from my seat. I couldn't have been surprised.

'Oh, no, no!　You bastard, mass demon outbreaks in the Lois dungeon, etc., is a false alarm!　How can you be responsible for that!

　Mr. Slim thinks. "Calling him a bastard and assigning blame for something that never happened. This time his Majesty is going to be very angry.


"In the Lois dungeon?　Are you sure?　Who did you ask?
.................. Oh, what?

　It's funny. I'm not angry. Why ...... Mr. Slim was confused and suddenly impatient. No way, he thought, they must have seen through him. He wondered if he was being set up.

　No, it couldn't be in this short time. I must get him angry and get out of there quickly and destroy Second's credibility," said Mr. Slim as he pondered, somehow coming up with a sentence to anger Mein.


'Shut up!　Just apologize!　I'll kill you, you son of a b*tc*!　You're gonna die!　Motherf*cker!　Gulp!

Yeah. I get it now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ...... Yes, yes, is that okay?

............


　After a number of tirades.
　Finally, he made the king apologize.


"...... Yeah, right. That's fine. That's enough .......

　Mr. Slim couldn't think of a better way to piss Mein off than this.

　As Mr. Slim's back slumped away, Mine asked, "What was that about? I stare at him.



'--Wait!　You thought I was going to give it back to you like this!

　Suddenly, the Infantry Sword Art stabbed into Mr. Slim's left leg.


''Guh!

　It was Klaus, Mine's squire, who slashed at him.

'...... Ah!'

　A moment later, the change in the Wraith unravels, revealing Mr. Slim's true face. Mine couldn't help but shout out.

''I knew it. You were planning to disguise yourself as the Second Double Crown and discredit it.''
No, it's not ......, it's ......!
No excuses!

　Klaus' sharp sword strikes Mr. Slim.
　He hasn't reached the level of competing in the title fight, but he's still one of the best swordsmen in the country. He doesn't have the kind of wiry training that would prevent him from being able to finish off a summoner by surprise.

　As a result, Mr. Slim was slashed on both legs by Klaus on the spot, fitted with a collar of servitude, and taken away by the knights.


　And at the same time. With the revelation of the Wraith's existence, the reason why the Second had hunted down Mr. Slim so devilishly and completely in such an uncanny manner was also widely known to the audience.


...... He seems to have a lot of extra guilt in him.
Yes, definitely. We'll investigate thoroughly.

　Mine muttered as he looked at Mr. Slim being taken away.

　Klaus nodded and opened his mouth.

''However, your majesty is a quintessential stone. To see that you're turning into a Second Two Crown, but dare to respond without showing any anger and expose an opening to your opponent.''

............ um, yeah. Well, as it happens, yeah.


　In fact, it was very hard to say that he hadn't noticed, Mine.
