314 - - Art. 314. When The Spooky Skin Is Peeled
"Here, this is ....... Hahaha!"
Real involuntarily dropped to one knee and hung his head. To his surprise, he saw a round table at which sat Linos, King of Agartha, and Lycorette, Empress next to him, surrounded by a group of people dressed like royalty.
"You are too far away from me there, come closer.
Linos's voice rings out. He looks up, surprised, and stares at those at the table. They nod slowly, without breaking eye contact, with grins on their faces. Real scurries around, but then stands up quickly, walks slowly to the table, and then kneels down again and hangs his head toward Linos.
"I was surprised at your suddenness. What on earth are you doing, King Agartha?"
Real slowly raised his head and looked Linos up and down. He remained staring at Real, not moving a muscle. His back is straight and tense, as if he were a chamberlain of the Empress Ricoulette. Silence reigns for a few moments. While I was puzzled as to what was going on, Linos' voice suddenly rang out.
"I don't see anything ......."
He rushes to look up and turns his gaze to Linos. He, too, keeps looking at him. For a moment, Real did not understand the meaning of Rinos's words, but then he quickly grasped the intent of what he was saying. He lets out a breath and opens his mouth with determination.
"With all due respect, sir. It is with great disrespect that I make this statement, but I have noticed that the fourth princess of Her Majesty the Queen of Sulphate, Sulphate Rufana, is in a state of ....... This is not the Rufana I know!"
He looks up again and sees Linos, who looks like a pigeon that has been hit by a peashooter. Real bowed his head again and continued.
"Rufana, though she is the fourth princess, has been estranged from her mother, the queen. But since the battle with the Kingdom of Tana, she has changed her ways and has become loyal to you. Until then, the two of you had never even spoken ...... to each other... ....... Oh, by the way, Rufana said she was going to help Her Majesty and went into the bathroom with her. I beg your pardon, but you must allow me to enter the bathroom! Otherwise, please send someone to inspect the room! Please, I beg you, get down, get down!"
Perhaps because Real's story was so unexpected, there was silence in the room. But soon after, Linos' voice rang out.
"I have one question."
"Anything."
"May I ask your name?"

"What?"
For a moment, Leal's expression turned into a scowl. But he quickly straightens his posture and answers the question in a hushed voice.
My name is Real State, the chief military attaché to Her Majesty the Queen of Sulphate.
Linos nodded broadly at his words.
I see, you are Mr. Real State. I am Bertham Darke Linos, King of Agartha. Nice to meet you."
"Huh?"
Real's eyes widen. Linos does not pay attention to him and continues to speak.
Really, there's nothing to it. It's refreshing to see. Most people have more or less evil thoughts in them, but I don't sense any such thing in you. I have seen many people in my life, but this is the first time."
Linos celebrates a smile, but his eyes are not smiling at all, and his eeriness continues to grow.
"You've been doing a good job of making yourself invisible, but you've been too perfect. ....... But for a guy like you, you make elementary mistakes. You've never met the King of Agartha. ...... Real. No, Vixen Hayes. We're going to Queen Sulphurte's room, and you're going to kidnap Rico......? For this reason alone, they have destroyed the Sulphate nation, and have been pushing the queen's side to the edge? It's so grandiose to do it, it's astonishing, but ...... couldn't you have used that energy for something else?"
"A...... King Agartha, what on earth do you say....... I don't recall any name like Hayes. It's a misnomer, people say. Some people look like you, but you've mistaken me for someone else.
"Hmph, no matter how much you try to hide it, the proof is there that you cannot escape. That one mole on the left cheek.
Linos points at Leal, and a light black spot appears on his left cheek.
"When I disguised myself as Matkal, I had marked it with my magic under the guise of a physical examination. You did a good job of erasing it, too. But you didn't manage to erase it completely. The mole on your face now is the best proof of this. ...... you won't get away with this, now, will you? The Specter Hayes!"
As soon as Linos finishes his words, suddenly, without warning, the room is enveloped in light. At that moment, there was a sound of something bursting from the seat where Rico was sitting.
"What?
When the light subsided, there was Satsuki, who was shouting in surprise. She was frozen in a posture as if she had thrown something completely in front of Rico, and her face was contorted as if she were gritting her teeth. Linos does not pay attention to her and pulls out his Holy Sword to face the real one in front of him.
"Stop it!
Suddenly, the soldier standing next to Linos is screaming. He looks behind Hayes and sees a girl who looks like Orjin in the corner of the room, her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open at the same time. Her body is gradually turning red.
"Kowooooo!"
"Stop it!"
The soldiers who had been waiting for the girl charge at her with great speed. Before she could see him, he had clamped down on her as if he were playing Western Lariat, and pulled her down with him. At that moment, the soldier's appearance changes. It was Sandille.
"Nanmu!"
Boom! A white smoke rose up from the room with the sound of "A". At the same time, Hayes' figure vanished in front of him.
"Hmph!"
Linos does not change his stance at all, but only swings his sword.
"d*mn. ......"
As if something bounced off him, the figure of a man appeared. He leaps backward, back to back with Satsuki, who is crouching. As if on cue, Rico quickly moves away from them. On closer inspection, the man's face had changed to that of Hayes the fox. He clutches his right shoulder, blood dripping from his hand.
"Hayes, get ready!"
A soldier standing in front of Rico holds his hand toward Hayes. Upon closer inspection, the soldier is gradually changing his appearance, and soon changes to Tamanoi's form. At that moment, countless threads fly out from her hands, and in a flash, they wrap around the two men's bodies.
"Gah!"
Suddenly, Tamanoi screams and falls to one knee. The next thing he knew, Hayes and Satsuki had moved to Rico's side, and Hayes had tightened his arms around Rico's neck from behind.
"Don't expect the same move to work twice! Satsuki!"
"Hi!"
At Hayes' words, Satsuki snuggles up to him. At the same time, their bodies begin to glow.
"I got the goddess Likolet!"
With these words, the light grew brighter and brighter, until it became so glaring that it was difficult to keep one's eyes open.
"...... What the hell is going on!"
The light subsided. There, standing in the same position as before, were the three men. Hayes' eyes widen in surprise.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
When I turned my eyes toward the voice, I found Soleil gasping for air and breathing on her shoulders. And beside her was the figure of Shenryu-sama.
"Oh, as I was saying, I've taken away his physical freedom..."
Hayes' expression does not change. How can he be so relaxed when his body is supposed to be immobilized by Master Shenlong's power? Do you still have a plan? With these thoughts in mind, Linos slowly approaches the three men. Then he hears a strange sound.
Mishi......mishi......giggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggitygiggityg.
The ring on the ring finger of Hayes' right hand glows pale. And there was a white smoke-like substance swirling around it, as if something was being attracted to it.
"Noooooo!"
As if to shake something off, Hayes' right arm swings. The staff in his hand glows again. But the light fades away in the middle of the wave. The color of Hayes' face changes.
"What! What the hell happened! Why aren't we shifting? Why? Why? !"
"Octa-sama!"
Hayes' and Satsuki's voices echoed over the room, almost like a scream.
"Phew... ~~~~"
Rico sighed loudly, as if he did not care about their dismay at all. Hayes and Satsuki looked at Rico, who was so unexpected that they couldn't help but look at him. .......
