He said that the letter said that he wanted to invite some of the people who were riding in Xion and the "Ghost" to a certain foreign mansion in Xijing.
"I already understand the content of the letter, why did you suddenly mention this topic?"
"This incident is 100% my fault...because I accidentally forgot the agreement."
Akite also knew that this was the true face of the agreement that Theon had been worrying about before receiving the letter.
However, the details of the agreement have not yet been explained to Aki.
"The cause of the matter was the commotion of Hydra. At that time, didn't you say that you would ask someone other than an acquaintance to seal it?"
"Ah, I really just heard about it."
"When I asked him to please me, he said he must come and see me after the incident was over..."
"If I forget, the invitation will come over there?"
In response to Anna's accusation, Theon nodded.
However, after listening to his explanation, I felt that the situation was not that serious.
"I did forget the date, that's the problem, but don't I just have to go see him?"
"That's right. Please tell me that I can listen to you and have a good relationship with you, right? You don't need to show that expression..."
"No, not such a gentle object!"
Xion, who loudly refuted what Ajid and the others said, looked serious.
"Indeed, he is basically very gentle to me. Because a lot of things happened in the past, he is very gentle to the children... But at his core, he is a very dangerous person!"
"What specifically?"
"Maybe you can eat it in big mouthfuls."
Xion's answer left Ajid and the others speechless.
"Are you really gentle? I can't find the element of gentleness."
"If it were not my opponent, I would definitely be killed, but if it were me, I would probably only need to eat the arm a little bit. The arm will probably be regenerated by magic later, so there is essentially no harm. When it is really edible. It might hurt."
"How can it be……"
Compared with being killed, it can indeed be said to be "gentle", but the moment the arm was eaten, even with the subsequent treatment, it was not gentle.
"Judging from the content of the letter, it shouldn't reach that point, but the possibility is not zero..."
"Since it's so serious, why not just ignore it?"
"That's the most useless."
"I also think it's better not to do this."
In response to Ji's suggestion, Theon shook his head as if he was worried about having his head chopped off, and almost at the same time, a third person's voice was mixed in.
Then the voice's owner, Zhu Yue, jumped out of Theon's shadow.
"That woman...if she breaks the agreement with the other party and does some mischief, don't you know what kind of curse she will receive?"
"Is it that dangerous?"
"You are the one who blocked the Hydra? Are you not happy that everything is safe?"
I don't know who said "this..." and made such a sound.
Indeed, it is better not to quarrel with that kind of inexplicable person.
"So, Zhu Yue doesn't know the person in the letter?"
"Well, regardless of whether they have met her or not, except for the people from "Book of the Sun", everyone knows that woman."
"Actually, I'm a high-level person outside of the people living in Turtle Country."
It can at least be considered a certainty that Theon will have to show up outside of the person in question.
The problem is, there are also some members of the "Mist" in the invitation.
"Leaving aside the appointment you made, why are the members of 'Misty Stan' involved?"
"I don't know either...but judging from the names on the letter, they are all people very close to me."
The letter listed the names of the people the other party wanted to invite.
Aki, Anna, Haruma and other three members of the mobile armor unit, as well as Natsumi, all the main members of the Thirteenth Skill Class, and finally Zhu Yue's name.
The people in "The Mist" who are close to Theon make for a perfect cast.
"Well, wouldn't it be appropriate to be someone someone you know wants to invite?"
"Members are certainly reasonable, but that's not the issue."
"Not there?"
"I never told her about meeting humans."
"……This is……"
The book lists the names of people Theon has never spoken to or even told his name.
In other words, a certain method was used to conduct the investigation.
"Because the other party is the other party. If you use magic, it should be easy to investigate..."
"Even so, I'm not in a good mood."
In the unspeakable atmosphere, Misty, who had not said much until now, spoke.
"With all due respect, I think it's too dangerous to accept the invitation."
She stated her thoughts clearly, with a certain calmness in her eyes.
You can tell at a glance that this is different from when he immediately refuted Theon's proposals and words before.
"...Whether it's human or non-human is another matter, the risk of leaking our intelligence into the opponent's pocket through some means is too high. Even considering the cause of the matter, Sion Istar himself showed up is unavoidable, but otherwise members should decline the invitation."
There was no doubt that Misty's statement was correct.
It’s not the simple idea that I didn’t believe just because I was an outsider.
But Theon shook his head.
"It's better not to do this."
"Why?"
"Like I said just now, it's not good to make her unhappy. Isn't it a bit annoying to finally invite her but be rejected?"
"You are so casual..."
"Well, whatever... Since she asked me to come, I have no choice but to go... If I want to face each other with swords, I must have the power to confront her head-on."
It was obvious from his attitude that he had given up. Xion sighed deeply.
"I also know that what Vice Captain Glasses said is right, and if so, I fully agree. But this time, we didn't have the right to decide from the beginning."
"...The other party is an out-and-out tyrant."
"It seems to be much smoother than before..."
"Ah, it seems that he was arrested two or three times in the country, right?"
Theon and Jade Moon talk like it's nothing, but there's something disturbing that can't be ignored.
Aki couldn't help but intervene in the conversation between the two.
"Wait, you messed up the whole country, what's going on?"
"Ah? That's what you mean. I remember that you manipulated the country's mind to do whatever you wanted?"
"If you are a captain who grew up in the Turtle Kingdom, it might be easier to hear the name."
After he and Ke Hong adjusted their breathing, Xion named the person other than the person who invited Akid and the others this time.
"Her name is Tamamo Mae, and she is a famous nine-tailed demon fox from the Turtle Kingdom."
Tamamo-mae.
During the Heian period, the beauty who was favored by the emperor for her outstanding beauty and knowledge was said to be a nine-tailed demon fox with great power.
"(I'm not saying it's impossible to see Hydra...)"
Even so, I didn't want her to speak flippantly.
"Is Tamomae famous in Turtle Country?"
"It should be considered mainstream among youkai. But compared to the name Tamamo no Mae, I think the existence of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox is more widely known..."
"oh?"
Anna and others, who didn't know much about the culture of the Turtle Kingdom, seemed to be confused and tilted their heads.
Theon showed the appropriate coverage online on one of the monitors.
"Tamamo-mae. In the era of peace, he was a great youkai who seduced the then head of state and tried to disrupt the country. Even so, in Kame Country, he was actually discovered before he was doing anything and was eliminated."
"Where are you in Turtle Country?"
"Before the Book of the Future, he acted recklessly in another country on the mainland, which is now the Dragon Kingdom."
"I remember that he seduced the king, executed innocent people, carried out tyranny, or instigated other princes to try to seize the heads of a thousand people? It seems that he was still called Daji at that time."
"That...is not good."
"The situation is not good."
After hearing the specific examples, the faces of the members who had not reacted all turned bad.
Even Xiaojing, who had already roughly understood the outline of the matter, felt that it was terrible to be said like this again, and having to meet such a person made her head and stomach hurt.
"Don't worry so much. I did this kind of thing more than a thousand years ago. I don't do that kind of dangerous thing now. I live leisurely in the secluded place built in Xijing. As long as I don't make him angry, it should be fine." What's the harm..."
"What if I anger him?"
In response to Halma's question, Xion smiled ambiguously.
He turned his eyes completely away and couldn't see Haruma at all.
"The type that makes you angry...don't you think about it..."
To Theon, the low voice must have been his sincerity. Zhu Yue next to her also nodded.
