Chapter 116 Uncanny Being (2/2)
As if to affirm our predictions, the landscape in front of us sways just like a static screen.
And then, someone wearing a jet black robe with chains here and there, and whose face can’t be seen, appeared out of nowhere.
[…… Miyama Kaito.]
[ ! ? ]
[……Splendid work.]
With a high-pitched voice that sounds as if it’s coming through a voice changer, the robed figure hurls out words of praise.
As I stiffened seeing that robed person’s appearance that is too uncanny, Sieg-san muttered in a trembling voice.
[……P- Phantasmal King-sama.]
[Wha!?]

The Phantasmal King!? T- This person is…… One of the Six Kings and the one Lillywood-san told me to be careful to…… Phantasmal King, No Face.
In front of the surprised us, the Phantasmal King, without seeming to be concerned about our reactions, continued to speak.
[You are blessed with people who seek to protect you. You could say it’s also a kind of power…… However, that is not enough.]
[……What in the world are you……]
[You passed the first task, but I already expected this result…… You should be able to do this much. However, what about the next one? You have defeated the War King’s envoys…… but now, the War King himself will appear before you.]
[ ! ? ]
What the heck is this person talking about? The way she’s talking, it’s as if she’s the one who pulled the strings as to why I got attacked this time……
As we were pressured by the atmosphere before her uncanny voice, the Phantasmal King slowly turned her back to us.
[……Even the War King would still have his own duties that he needs to do. I will bring back the War King’s subordinates…… Well then, Miyama Kaito, in your next trial…… I bid you good luck.]
[W- Wait! What in the world are you talking about!?]

[……Fumu, let’s see. You did pass your first trial. In that case, you will need your prize…… Well then, I will answer a single question for you.]
Hearing me call out to her in confusion, the Phantasmal King looked back at me and told me that she would answer one question.
Feeling suffocated by the way she speaks, as if she was trying something out, I thought about it and asked one question.
[……What was the purpose of doing that?]
[……It’s a test.]
[A test?]
[Yes, I’m giving you tests so that I won’t make any miscalculations…… Whether the power you gained, and the will dwelling within your heart is genuine or not……]
[……Why me?]
[……I’ve answered your question. If you want to know more, you need more progress. If you do, I will appear before you again.]
Saying those words, the Phantasmal King disappeared like smoke, leaving only her parting words.

[……I have high hopes for you, Miyama Kaito. I hope you’ll be worthy enough for me to entrust my blade to you……]
The uncanny voice disappears with the wind, leaving only silence around us.
The mysterious being that suddenly appeared, disappeared, leaving behind those words filled with mystery.
The Phantasmal King, No Face…… The unfathomable threat she brings, I have felt it firsthand……
Dear Mom, Dad——- Just when I thought that the threat of their attacks has ended, apparently, the thread of the whole situation before is being pulled by a single being. The King of Empty Illusions, No Face—— is an uncanny being.
Translation:
Phantasmal King: “As expected of my favorite human, it’s amazing how you’re blessed with connections! However, I’m sure the War King will come to you next time, so watch out, okay~~! I like you so much, so you should be even better than what you are now! After you have become even cooler, let’s meet again, okay~~! At that time, I’ll be the one who’ll lend my strength to you. Good luck, I’m cheering for you~~!”
Arehh? Isn’t she a good guy……
T/N: I’m going to say this now, I haven’t read the raws since reading it too advanced from what I’m translating kills my excitement, so I read only a few chapters in advance or I’ll just follow along with the story. So, I still don’t know if Gen Ou, No Face is male or female. Meh, I’ll go with her as female for the meantime since this is a harem novel.
