Chapter234，Part2: 2 - The You Know What ② Chapter 234 The You Know What ② Part 2 “I don’t understand but there were a whole bunch of people!
Their strength was so-so, but it was just right for a warm-up!
After all, it’s good when they are people.
Humans are good.
” (Luke) “There were a lot of guards, all of them were gathered there, it has been a while since I moved my body~.
Touka-chan seemed to be sick because she was in charge of enclosing them tho’~……” (Liz) “Like, do you get what I mean?
Bodies that have absorbed Mana Material are, how to say… Have a totally different feeling.
Their equipment was also quite nice, it was a blast!
” (Luke) “After all, bad guys are rich, riiiight?
They were all armed with Relics~――” (Liz) “Ehm…… Un, un, that’s right.
” (Cry) Liz and Luke were fluttering around like excited dogs.
Apparently, the tour done by the (Temporary) Fox Mask Fan Club was much to Luke and Liz’s liking.
Luke and Liz love violence.
And they prefer to kill Monsters rather than Phantoms, and more than Monsters, they prefer humans.
It is something a bit dreadful, but I guess there are certain peculiarities that only a warrior can understand.
In a small corner of the newspaper, there was a small news story about 《Torch Knights (Touka Kish-Dan)》 having destroyed several criminal organizations.
Luke *niyari* smiled with a wild grin.
“I let them take the credit.
I’m good as long as I can cut people.
There’s no problem, right!?
” (Luke) “U-Un, un, that’s right……” (Cry) I have a feeling there are quite a few problems, but I dare not say.
Luke’s nature was completely of a manslayer.
“Look, Cry-chan !
There’s that much stuff just from counting what they were wearing!
” (Liz) “U-Un, un, that’s amazing.
” (Cry) Liz turned over the leather bag she was carrying and dumped all the jewelry inside on the table in front of her.
Shiny gold coins, daggers, rings, bracelets, and even pistols.
Large gems were on the rings and were so shiny that it was hard to guess how much one of them would be worth.
Of course, they were most likely not fakes.
By the way, when a bandit is captured in a town, all of his possessions are confiscated by the country, and a portion is paid as a reward at a later date.
Although it is implicitly allowed to take the loot to some extent, this is completely out.
Liz was completely a thief by nature.
I think back on the hardship that Touka and the others, who were supposed to have attacked with them, must have had.
Liz’s eyes lit up and from behind me, she stretched her arm in front of me and put something on me.
“Cry-chan, I’ll give it to you!
Look, at this loot――A necklace made of bones!
” (Liz) “T-Thank you……” (Cry) I want to accept just your feelings.
Liz is an out-of-control thief who is not so much interested in the loot as she is more interested in the process of stealing itself.
“Woooooooooooooooh, is the second batch not coming yet!
I’m gonna slash you!
” (Luke) “I’m gonna kill you!
” (Liz) Luke slashed at Liz’s in no time.
And Liz avoided it in no time.
Apparently, they still have too much energy if you just send them outside once…… As I was dismayed at Luke and Liz for starting a mock battle, Sytry brought a tray with a tea set and a box on it.
“Cry-san, I bought a popular cake!
” (Sytry) I understand why Luke and Liz are in a good mood, but Sytry was also in a good mood, which I rarely see these days.
Her expression is still the same, it is her usual smile, but the sparkle in her eyes is different.
As a childhood friend, I can tell.
She is not able to suppress her emotions.
Sytry is always generally calm, so this kind of thing is quite rare.
“Did something good happen?
” (Cry) “No, no――I will make you some tea.
” (Sytry) Sytry-chan was *sowasowa* fidgeting while making me a cup of tea.
Seriously, what happened?
There was only one cup on the tray.
She is always very attentive, but it is rare that she even offers me a cake.
Or rather, this is like her trump card, which she only does when something happens.
It can be seen as a signal sent by Sytry.
After quickly setting the tea set in front of me and forgetting to open the box of cakes, Sytry goes behind me.
Just like this, she touched my neck with her cooled hands.
“Let me rub your shoulders.
” (Sytry) “…………” (Cry) I couldn’t have tea with her rubbing my shoulders, but I let it go.
After *gyugyu* rubbing my shoulders a few times, she put her arms around me and hugged me from behind.
She looks just like Liz.
This was different from her usual massage.
A soft touch was pressed against my neck.
Then, Sytry said in a feverish voice on my ear.
“Cry-san…… Shall I lend you some money?
” (Sytry) “…………” (Cry) At my silence, Sytry finally got into the main subject.
“In exchange, give me that.
The, you, know, what, desu.
Neeeh?
Can I have it?
” (Sytry) I would give you anything if it is something that I can give, but…… It’s so scary.
The fact that I had no idea at all what she is talking about is scary.
While Sytry was *surisuri* rubbing her hands over my body, she put her lips behind my ear.
Whether it was fear or pleasure, I felt a shiver run down my spine.
“Neeeh, when did you get it?
How did you get it?
You’re going to give it to me, right?
” (Sytry) “…… What are you talking about?
” (Cry) “The you know what.
Neeeh, I will definitely use it carefully.
Please, give it to me.
” (Sytry) She is begging too much.
Did I get something?
Something I got just recently… Something I got just recently………… Moreover, it is something that the wealthy Sytry would want.
“W-What should I do……” (Cry) “Do you want something in exchange?
What do you want me to do?
I will do anything, neeeh, Cry-san.
Anything, desu.
Please don’t tease me.
*Konkon* Sniff, sniff.
” (Surry) Not good.
I am glad she is enjoying herself, but I can’t think of anything that Sytry might want.
Sytry, it is a bad habit of yours to not be able to say it clearly.
Or what?
Do you want something that you can’t say out loud?
As I stroked Sytry’s bare arm, frantically searching for a clue of what she meant, Lucia entered at the perfect timing.
Lucia *jirori* glared at Sytry who was *betabeta* sticking to me and looked at me without saying anything.
“…… Leader, Gark-san and Rosemary-san are here.
What do we do?
” (Lucia) “Send them back.
” (Cry) “It doesn’t work that way!
Sytry, you are in the way!
Come on, let’s go!
Pull yourself together, Nii-san!
” (Lucia) She waved her staff and physically shook Sytry off, and then Lucia forced me to stand up.
I forgot about them.
One difficulty after another, having a pair that includes 《War Ogre (Senki)》 and 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 coming, is it hell?
Do they have so much free time?
What was the point of me running away from the bathroom if you were going to come after me?
You should read the room.
“I don’t want to.
I don’t want to see them.
It’s tooooo much trouble.
I’m busy.
” (Cry) “Don’t be selfish!
Come on, walk quickly!
You are busy, you say?
What do you mean you are busy when you are *ichaicha* flirting with Sytry?
” (Lucia) What was the point of asking “What do we do?
”?
Sytry follows while *mojimoji* squirming her hands.?
Luke and Liz, who were playing while wearing the fox mask that they seemed to have received, continued behind me without saying anything.
And I was taken before the monsters, feeling like a sinner on his way to the gallows.
TL notes: Thanks for reading!
Soooo the you know what was an criminal organization!
Seriously if Cry isn’t here to control Strange Grief, every member except Anthem and Lucia would be criminals!
And with Gark coming now is time for Cry to be show his divine strategist mode!
Tchao à plus!
