Part 1

“……………… This… Is going to become a massive scale battle.” (Gaff)

The 『Fox (Kitsune)』 is an extraordinary organization in terms of scale and quality. It has several sub-organizations, and its influence extends to the upper echelons of each country. However, due to the thorough secrecy and information control, few people have an accurate understanding of its scope.

As a senior and Seventh Tails member, Gaff has some grasp of the organization’s power thanks to doing many operations, but even so, he cannot claim to know everything.

The names on the list brought by the Boss were very diverse, ranging from large organizations to small groups.

Surprisingly, the list even includes organizations that can be considered as the “Fox (Kitsune)” sub-organization.

It was unusual. The only people on the list are criminal organizations and secret societies that are generally classified as 『Evil』. They are also the “Fox’s (Kitsune)” competitors and can be crushed depending on the operation, but they are not necessarily enemies.

The “Fox (Kitsune)” usually fights Treasure Hunters, knights order, merchants, noblemen, and others who have a lot of influence in the public society.

The operation to which Gaff was appointed was another example. The names on the new list were all names that were not on the original mission objectives.

“With this many, it is not a number that we can crush single-handedly. Does the Boss…… Want to set the city on fire?” (Gaff)

Even so every year during the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, there are bloody fights all over the place. Every organization that comes to Cleat at this time of year is on the lookout.

If you add with that the first operation, it would destroy everything, whether they are just or evil.

The crews that Gaff brought with him this time are all elite, but that was only to accomplish the first mission that was given to them.

So far, he has faithfully followed the organization’s orders and has risen to the rank of Seventh Tails. If he succeeds in this operation, he will be able to go even higher.

“Prying the mission objectives is not our job. But………… This is too much to handle.” (Gaff)

However, orders are absolute. No matter how unusual it may seem, they do not question it.

If they are not informed of the objectives, that just means that Gaff doesn’t need to know it.

Depending on the scale, it would not be a problem to destroy a few of those organizations. We just need to kill them all.

However, in the meantime, other organizations will surely notice that something was going on. A clever person would even guess that the “Fox (Kitsune)” was going around crushing different organizations. The more vigilant they are, the more time it will take to destroy them. It would be impossible to crush all of them before the Supreme Martial Arts Festival.

My companion who had received the list from the Boss and is highly competent as a covert agent said.

“Maybe… This mission wasn’t meant for us to do it. However, the Boss has expectations on us.” (Covert agent)

I already understood that……

No matter how secretive the “Fox (Kitsune)” is, it wasn’t like there was no chain of command. Maybe if the Gaff and the others did not receive the list, the mission would have gone through formal channels in order for other units to execute it.

That is why it is an opportunity. The organization is always looking for members that are usable.

He frowned for a while and thought about a plan, but there weren’t enough available pawns that Gaff could use.

If we don’t destroy them with a blitzkrieg operation, they will be alerted, but we don’t have enough people to destroy all of them in such a short time.

“…… We don’t have enough manpower. But…… Right………… We are the “Fox (Kitsune)”. If we don’t have enough people, we still have other methods.” (Gaff)

He has completed several difficult assignments so far. If he were to complain about something like this, he would not be a Seventh Tails.

The risk is high, but it is a direct order from someone who possesses the symbol of the organization, from the Boss. Just doing it is worth it. Gaff smiled deeply and issued new orders to his subordinates.

“Let’s go find someone powerfullll!” (Luke)

“Ooooh!” (Liz)

Luke and Liz’s tension was going higher and higher. I don’t believe that the Fox Mask Fan Club will succeed, but it is not like I couldn’t let the two of them go out there by themselves when they are two fight-first talk-later people.

Let’s all get along as a Party and go outside together. Although there was still a while to go before the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, the streets of Cleat were abuzz with excitement.

I don’t know how busy this town is during normal times, but there are a lot of stalls and a huge crowd.

There are a few armed men present, but not all of them are likely to be contestants. For a warrior, it is an honor to participate in the Supreme Martial Arts Festival. There must be others like me who are only there to support their comrades. It is exactly like the saying, where there are strong people, stronger people will be gathering.

Sytry looked up at my face and smiled at me.

“You are not going to wear that fox mask today?” (Sytry)

“Yeah…” (Cry)

I stroked my cheek with the palm of my hand.

I want to hide my face as much as possible. So I would like to wear masks as much as possible――But it seems that wearing that mask will attract the Fox Mask Fan Club.

Since they even followed me to my room, I don’t know how many people would gather if I were to wear it in the middle of a crowd.
