Chapter 207.2 \n<h1>Chapter 207 Countryside Bumpkin</h1>\n

“However, isn’t it meaningless if the other side has the same thing as you, but you don’t know the other side’s number?” (Sytry)

“Well, well, calm down, Sytry. I know that…… You can add a number to your contact list. Am I right?” (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.

“Awesome…… So that’s a smartphone pro. It is my complete defeat…… Next time, I should somehow try to get one.” (Cry)

“You countryside bumpkin…… So embarrassing1.” (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.

“That’s problematic…… Seems like he can come and take you back.” (Cry)

　When I told her the result of my conversation with the Ani Kitsune2, the Imouto Kitsune3 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, “Geh”, you know, “Geh”.　He very happily said that they finally had a decent intruder, you know. He was talking about Term and Kechakchakka. I  don’t know what happened to them, but from the looks of Ani Kitsune, I am sure they aren’t having a good time. We can only pray about their future now.

“He really has a laissez-faire way with you. Maybe Phantoms and humans have different senses of living.” (Cry)

　He didn’t even say hello to his Imouto. \n　Come to think of it, he didn’t even show a hint of anger when I killed one of the Phantom. Maybe they are not family.

　Sytry raises her eyebrows in ponder.

“What should we do? When it comes to a Phantom that powerful, it might be a problem to leave it as it is……” (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 can’t tell the truth to the Emperor. We might get thrown in prison. And I can’t 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.

“…… By the way, does this country have Aburaage?” (Cry)

“No, they don’t.” (Sytry)

“!?” (Imouto Kitsune)

　The Imouto Kitsune froze at Sytry’s immediate response. A piece of Aburaage *porori* fell out of her hand.\nVisit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

　Of course, right. It was available in the Empire, but I haven’t 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 don’t you just fly home already, come on. You can at least fly, right?　If you can’t fly, then…… I know. If you attach the new tail that Lucia refused to use, you can fly, can’t you? That problem would also disappear and we would kill two birds with one stone.

　I am kind of tired of it already…… 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 didn’t make a sound, but there was a hint of melancholy in her voice.　Even if you cling to me like that, I can’t 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 hand――A smartphone of a different color than the one before.

　I unintentionally widened my eyes.　Wh……At!? I know what this is…… That is what is called having two handhelds. This Phantom… Is no ordinary Phantom.

\n　In one swift movement, Imouto Kitsune held it out to me and said.

 

“I’ll give it to you.” (Imouto Kitsune)

“!?” (Cry)

　I deeply reflect on myself.

　…… Think about it. Cry Andrich. Aren’t you a Hunter, and a Hunter’s job is to save the weak.　This fox-mask girl is a Phantom, but she is not a bad Phantom. Don’t 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.

 

“Well, it would be irresponsible to come this far and throw her away………… I have… A great idea that will make everyone happy.” (Cry)
