CHAPTER 464.1: THE WORST NIGHT

The earth, the sky, the world shakes.

I, Saya Kuromizu, cannot believe what my eyes are seeing. We are waiting together in the Clan Master’s Office when Luke and Liz start making a fuss.

“Oh? An earthquake?” (Luke)

“Hmm, it’s probably not just an earthquake, no~? I mean, look, Cry-chan went to do some last clean up……” (Liz)

Says Liz with a calm expression. Indeed, this is no ordinary earthquake. My eyes can clearly see it.

――The world appears to be bending, overlapping, and reconnecting.

It is truly a phenomenon worthy of the description of a cataclysm.

It is at a scale that makes it hard to imagine how something like this can happen. Code’s crash seems insignificant compared to this current phenomenon. Even the Magic disaster that occurred in Terrace wasn’t on this scale.

I don’t know the cause, but I can imagine what is about to happen.

“The Treasure Shrine and the Imperial Capital here…… Are about to merge.” (Saya)

“Eh? Really?” (Sytry)

“Kill, kill……” (Kilkill-kun)

Originally, the Treasure Shrine and the Imperial Capital of Zebrudia overlapped perfectly. The reason they haven’t merged is because they existed in different dimensions. However, these two worlds, which were previously only accessible through a few entrances and exits, are now about to change.

“Onii-chan, go warn everyone.” (Sytry)

“Umu!” (Anthem)

Hearing what Sytry said, Anthem hurriedly left the room. The people who have gathered to act as watchdogs are also in an uproar.

The residents of the Imperial Capital must have all sensed the earthquake and changes that had just occurred.

At that moment, the surface of the mirror in front of my eyes warps, and a translucent ghost appears. It is the ghost playing the instrument that had been chasing Lucia. ṛαℕοВÈȿ

After all, the boundaries between worlds are becoming blurred.

Until now, the Phantoms from that Treasure Shrine haven’t been able to move freely outside. However, that has now changed.

The Imperial Capital will fall into chaos. Maybe the country will be destroyed. If I could use Sarasara I might be able to stop it, but right now I have no means to fight back.

I turn pale. Right before my eyes, Luke Sykol casually swings his blade at the ghost.

“!?” (Saya)

The orchestra ghost breaks into pieces, but immediately regenerates. But maybe due to the shock, its mouth is no longer on the instrument. Luke cheers at this sight.

“Ooooooooooooooh, I found something that can’t be cut! This is my chance to obtain the Spirit Sword!” (Luke)

“!?” (Saya)

No, I don’t think that ghosts can be cut off though――.

Before I can make that comment, the ghost *barabara* shatters into pieces. It regenerates, then *barabara, bara* shatter into pieces. It regenerates, then *barabara, barabara* shatters into pieces. The ghosts shed tears and fled into the mirror.

“Uooooooooooooooooooh! I won’t let you get awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Leeet meee cuuut youuu!” (Luke)

“Ahahahaha, Luke-chan, you look like a ghost~!” (Liz)

Luke jumps inside the mirror with glee. Yes, the fact that the Treasure Shrine and the Imperial Capital overlap means that Phantoms can move freely between worlds, and at the same time, people from this world can go to the Treasure Shrine. The Treasure Shrine and the Imperial Capital are now connected by land. The gate cannot be closed, so Lady has likely lost her powerful ability which seems like teleportation that she used in the Treasure Shrine.

But Luke is really like a ghost. I think I am really glad he wasn’t there for the mock battle.

Sytry says with a *nikoniko* smile in front of me, who could only stand there dumbfounded.

“Since we are here anyway, shall we go too. The Knight Orders won’t be able to move either, so we will be the first ones there!” (Sytry)

“’Kaaaaay, I’m going to drag Ti up. I have to kill those guys who threatened our Lucia-chan!” (Liz)

“Fufufu………… I think Lucia-chan already killed them though……” (Sytry)

Thanks for reading! Haha Luke staying true to himself, trying to cut the ghost as soon as it appears, even Saya is flabbergast because of him. I wonder if we will have a new Phantom that looks like Luke that is looking for swordman to cut.

New episode start with Cry being Cry, forgetting his most powerful Relic and becoming relaxed thanks to the Perfect Vacation! I don’t know why but Anthem’s Umu as he fall was perfect and I did not expect that Kecha seeing and misunderstanding Cry’s thumbs up! I wonder if people who hasn’t read the novel would have noticed all the small moment that show Term being a member of Kitsune… Too bad we didn’t have Franz misunderstanding that Cry is the one who killed the dragons. But when you look at these dragons being so easily killed by Strange Grief, it really shows that they are at another level, and seeing Strange Grief all together and fighting like this makes me want to see more of their adventure together with Cry! This episode also shows a lot of Kruz’s charm, I can see her going way up in a popularity contest thanks to that. When Kruz ate the Amuze Nuts I thought it was the end of the episode because some piano started playing but looks like I got trolled by the episode XD But lol Cry saying the correct password, that he is a human and he cannot show the tail, sasuga Cry! He can’t crack such a simple code without even batting an eyelid Also that ending with Term trying to convince Kruz of the Sheet Ghost and Cry doing the finger heart. Only Cry can make the dreadful Kitsune into a joke!
