Ayanokouji Kiyotaka 174

Title: Sword Saint, You’ve Always Just Been a Pawn

*BOOM*

The sudden explosion startled Crusch. The violent impact caused her to lose her balance and almost fall to the ground.

“What happened?” Wilhelm quickly helped Crusch up.

“Is it the White Whale?” Felix asked worriedly.

“No, it shouldn’t be. The White Whale shouldn’t cause such a large explosion, and when the White Whale appears, it will be accompanied by a huge roar.” Wilhelm immediately explained.

Crusch and the others quickly rushed out of the camp to check the situation outside, but there was already a sea of fire outside. The huge smoke and dust caused by the explosion covered the surroundings like a curtain, blocking everyone’s view, and many soldiers were injured as a result.

“What happened?” Crusch found a veteran and asked quickly.

“Crusch-sama, we still don’t know what happened! Suddenly there was an explosion around us!” The veteran said immediately.

“Everyone be on alert!” Crusch loudly ordered her subordinates, whatever happened, they had to prepare for the worst now.

Judging from the current situation, all this was clearly not the doing of the White Whale.

Who is it?

Could it be...

While Crusch was thinking, she seemed to see countless black shadows moving in the smoke.

A sharp and faint voice emerged.

“I found it here, I found it, I found so many diligent people like me, too diligent, too diligent? What are you doing here? What are you doing here? Are you waiting for love? Do you feel love? We are all the same! For love, for love, for love! I can’t wait to feel his love! My brain is trembling!!”

Although the voice was a bit blurry, from the words that came out of the smoke, Crusch could tell that the person who came was the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, Petelgeuse.

“Is it really the Witch Cult?” Crusch was initially a little confused why people from the Witch Cult appeared in this place.

The other party thought they would continue to arrange this White Whale crusade, so did they come here to ambush?

In other words, the White Whale in the previous illusion was just a trap used by the Witch Cult to lure her?!

Crusch immediately became nervous. Because of the smoke and dust produced by the explosion, she couldn’t see the enemy situation clearly at all, so she could only gather her troops.

*BOOM*

The explosion sounded again.

The camera changed. A few hundred meters away from her position, on the other side isolated from the smoke and explosion, Ayanokouji was sitting on the ground, his eyes fixed on the curtain-like smoke and dust and the flames caused by the explosion.

Beside him, Otto held a mobile phone, connected to a device similar to a loudspeaker, and placed it in front of him.

”My brain is trembling!”

This crazy voice continuously came out of the phone, and then was amplified by the loudspeaker, echoing across the plains.

On the other side, Meili controlled several Demon Beasts, wrapped in black cloth, running in the smoke.

All this was exactly as Ayanokouji had arranged.

The purpose of everything he did was to create the illusion that the Witch Cult was attacking Crusch.

The explosion could give the impression of being attacked, and the resulting smoke could block the view of Crusch’s camp. The Demon Beasts controlled by Meili ran in the smoke and disguised themselves as witch cultists.

The sound produced by the phone was recorded beforehand by Ayanokouji with Otto.

To record this sound, Otto dubbed it in his own voice at that time. Although the tone was very similar, if listened to from close up, the voice was actually very different from the real Petelgeuse. From a distance, there is still a wide range. Because of the musical instrument and the explosion, the timbre has changed a lot, making Crusch and the others mistakenly believe that the speaker is Petelgeuse.

As for the loudspeaker, it was made by Ayanokouji using his own knowledge and combining it with some magical tools.

“Ayanokouji-sama, do we need to do anything else?” Otto’s voice was very hoarse, and there was a fingerprint on his own neck.

“Otto, please stop talking, it sounds so disgusting!” Meili expressed her dislike of his voice without hiding anything.

”This is really too much...”

“Shut up! If you speak again I will kill you!”

“Your mission is complete. Otto, please take Meili and leave.” Ayanokouji said to the two people beside him.

“Yes.” Otto nodded, using his peripheral vision to look at Meili.

After all, the other party is an elite assassin from an assassination organization. It feels a bit strange to send Meili away like an elder.

“But Meili doesn’t want to be with this guy, his voice is so ugly!” Meili pouted and said

“After all, I have contributed to the camp...” Otto looked at with a sad expression on his face.

“I’m sorry Meili, Otto has sacrificed for us.” Ayanokouji thought about how to calm her emotions.

Although Meili, who usually looks no different from an ordinary child, once she gets angry, the consequences will be very bad for her character to be greatly distorted due to her birth environment and Elsa’s condition, and she is likely to do very extreme things.

Ayanokouji remembered what he had seen before, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and gently stroked Meili’s hair.

He remembered in the video, when Meili or Beatrice were in a bad mood, doing this seemed to make them feel better.

Meili’s face turned slightly red and she lowered her head, seeming to enjoy this session

Finally she nodded: “Okay, Meili will go back with this guy.”

”Thank you for your great kindness.”

“If you make any strange noises on the way, I will kill you!” Meili turned and glared at Otto

“No way...” Otto could feel that the murderous intent in Meili’s words was no joke.

Ayanokouji lowered his head slightly and looked at his hand. It seems that this method of touching the head is very useful.

He shook his head and returned his thoughts to the screen.

“Elsa’s matter also needs to be resolved.”

The scene changed, in the royal capital.

“Really Reinhard! Why did you bring me here for no reason to participate in this so-called royal selection? The old people in the palace look very unhappy with me! It feels like hitting their teeth!”

A very beautiful red dress, with blonde hair, fiery red eyes, a young face, and small tiger teeth visible at the corners of her mouth, which made Felt look very sweet and a little noble at the same time.

But this is only from her appearance. In fact, Felt is still full of mischievous temperament like a wild cat. She stretched out her fist and hit Reinhard’s forehead in front of her, but she didn’t use much force.

“Sorry, Felt-sama, this is my mission.” Facing her reprimand, Reinhard didn’t get angry, and always had a calm smile on his face

Reinhard is very loyal to the royal family, and after knowing that the noble lineage still exists, he decided to devote his loyalty to Felt.

With Felt, we might be able to find out why the previous members of the royal family died of illness – and this is also a way to protect Felt.

After the sky illusion was played, Felt’s true identity was revealed, and everyone knew about the noble lineage in her body. This will inevitably cause people with malicious intentions to extend their evil hands to Felt.

Reinhard didn’t want Felt to be in danger. He knew that he no longer had the power to protect her, and he also wanted Felt to live a life without worrying about food, so he asked Felt to agree.

As the two were fighting, there was a light knock on the door outside the house. At this time, Reinhard’s expression became serious, as if he knew the identity of the visitor.

Felt didn’t know why Reinhard was so anxious, but a very charming voice came from outside the door.

“Hello, is Reinhard-sama at home?”

The source of the voice was very clear whether it was Felt or Reinhard.

Bowel Hunter Elsa.

They didn’t know why Elsa appeared in this place.

“Felt-sama, please sit behind me.” Reinhard protected Felt behind him, then walked forward, slowly opened the door, and Elsa dressed in black appeared in front of him.

“You come in front of me openly. It seems you are ready to fight against the law.” Although Reinhard doesn’t know the reason why Elsa appeared here, he knows that the other party is not his opponent at all.

However, Reinhard felt a little strange if Elsa appeared here. This is clearly not the behavior of an assassin.

Is Elsa’s target himself? No, this doesn’t make sense. She should know that this mission would never succeed, and even if she wanted to do it, she couldn’t appear in front of him openly.

And Reinhard found that he couldn’t feel the murderous aura from her body.

“Sorry, I haven’t planned to be captured. Although I really want to fight you, Master’s orders are more important than anything. He asked me not to cause any trouble. Can’t Sword Saint see through people’s minds? You must know me too. That’s not a lie.” Elsa had no panicked expression on her face, but always had a calm smile on her face.

“Master? Are you talking about Ayanokouji?”

Although Reinhard didn’t 100% believe in the content of the illusion, and he wouldn’t chase Ayanokouji because of things that hadn’t happened, but when he heard Elsa call Ayanokouji his Master, he felt disappointed with the latter.

It seems that as in the illusion, Ayanokouji is not a good person.

“Yes, Ayanokouji is my Master. He has a letter that needs to be given to you.” Elsa took a letter from her wardrobe and handed it to him, “Master also spent a long time learning the writing of this world.”

Reinhard was stunned for a moment, then opened the letter and looked at the contents carefully.

“What?” His eyes widened slightly.

What was written in the letter was Ayanokouji’s confession, which mentioned that the so-called illusion was a conspiracy by the Witch Cult to discredit himself, and this White Whale crusade prepared by the Witch Cult was a trap for Crusch, let Reinhard rush to the scene as soon as possible to support Crusch.

And Ayanokouji also mentioned in the letter that Elsa’s previous actions had nothing to do with him, and that he would find ways to restrain her murderous urges as much as possible.

Ayanokouji deliberately used a crooked font and some grammatical errors in his letter to give the other party the illusion that he had just learned these words here.

After reading the contents of the letter, this matter went beyond Reinhard’s imagination. It seems that there are some differences between what Ayanokouji revealed in his words and what he imagined.

“Thank you Ayanokouji for your advice.” Reinhard put down the letter and nodded to Elsa, while his sharp gaze was fixed on her face, “However, as Sword Saint, as a member of the Knights, I can’t turn a blind eye to what you have done.”

“Oh Sword Saint, you say that, I can’t control myself. Great!” The smile on Elsa’s face became brighter, “But Master has told me that there is no battle to be done now. Otherwise, I would love to feel the feeling of fighting against Sword Saint! It must be amazing! The environment here is too narrow. Even if Sword Saint takes action, it might affect others.”

After Elsa finished speaking, she immediately retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

Reinhard didn’t choose to chase, because he believed that the most important thing now was Crusch’s side. He immediately contacted other guardian knights to protect Felt’s safety on his behalf, and rushed without stopping to the location where the White Whale might appear.
