Chapter 5: Real Member of the Order, and Real Person of the Curse
A round tunnel
Age in the mid-thirtiesA well-trained body and sharp eyesSwept back grey hair
His footsteps stopped as he reached the end of the tunnelIn front of hienou girl inside?”
“Yes, Olbsama”
The soldier that he addressed saluted, then unlocked the door
“Sir, please h restrained, she is extreressive”
“Hmph, who do you think I am?”
“!! I'm very sorry, sir!”
Olba opened the door then walked in
The rooirl was affixed to the ith enou”
At Olba's voice, the girl called Claire raised her head
She was a very beautiful girlAs she had been kidnapped while sleeping, she was still wearing a thin negligee that could not hide her full breasts nor her luscious thighsWith her silk-like black hair cut in a straight line behind her back, the girl glared up at Olba ith strong-willed eyes
“I've seen your face at the royal capital beforeIf I remember correctly, you are Viscount Olba, are you not?”
“Hou, you ith the Imperial Guards previously…… Ah, no, it was at the tourna the Festival of the God of War?”
“Festival of the God of War, hehOh yes, that time when Princess Iris cut you up every which way”
Claire laughed in merriment
“Hmph, it ithin the liht, there's no way I'd lose to her”
“Nothing would be different in a real fight, oh Viscount Olba who lost in the first round in the tournament”
“FoolYou don't even kno e of that tournalared back at Claire
“I will be able to stand on that stage just 1 year later”
“Too bad for you, you don't have a year left”
The chains restricting Claire clinked
Immediately afterwards, her teeth snapped just barely short of Olba's neck
If Olba hadn't tilted his head that little bit, then his carotid artery ht there and then
“The one who can't live for one more year – will that truly be me? Or will it be…… you? Do you want to bet on it?”
“No need for the bet, Claire Kagenou”
Olba's fist slammed into the chin beneath Claire's dauntless sround, but her strong eyes never left Olba
Olba lowered his fist, having felt less resistance on his fist than expected
“You jumped backwards”
Claire smiled dauntlessly
“Was there a fly in the room?”
“He ic is not about aood father you have”
“I've never learned a thing from that baldyIt was my little brother”
“Brother……?”
“My iht, I'd winBut I' fro from my swordThat's why I pick on him everyday”
So said Claire in an ier brotherThat would make me an ally of justice who saved hih pointless banter”
Olba cleared his throat and fixed his gaze on Claire
“Claire KagenouAs of late, have you felt anything strange with your body? For exa, or your health being unstable, or a sharp pain whenever you try to useon parts of your body? Do any of those sy to all the trouble of kidnapping e of Claire's glossy lips raised into a sneer
“I, too, previously had a daughterI do not wish to e my questions honestly would lead to the best outcome for us both”
“Ooo, is that a threat? Unfortunately, I have a personality that makes me want to rebel when threatenedEven if ical to do”
“So you mean to say that you have no intention to cooperate?”
“I wonder~”
Olba and Claire glared at each other
The one who broke the silence first was Caire
“Very wellIt's nothing big anyways, so I'll tell youYou ht? Now I'm perfectly fine, aside from these chains”
“'Now'?”
“Yes, 'now' It was about a year ago when I had those symptoms that you listed”
“You er have thee, there's never been a case of 'that' being healed
“Hht,he called 'stretches'? I don't really know the details, but he asked me to practice it, and before I knew itin top condition”
“'Stretches'? Never heard of it…… But the fact that you had the symptoms before means that there's no mistake, you are indeed compatible”
“Compatible? With what?”
“There's no need for you to knowYou'll be broken before long anywaysAhh, I'll need to investigate your brother too then……”
So off his words
“Guh?”
Olba retreated to the door, glaring at Claire while suppressing his nosebleed
“Claire Kagenou, you bitch……!”
All four of her limbs were supposedly restricted, but for so free, with blood dripping down from it
“You scraped off your own flesh and dislocated your finger……?!”
The chains binding her were not nor chainsIn other words, Claire had used pure brute strength to chafe off her own skin, crush her finger bones, and thus free her arm from the chainThat's how she was able to hit Olba
Olba was greatly shocked at that truth
“If soive you! I will kill you, your loved ones, your fa to you……!?”
Olba's full power punch landed on Claire's sto chains, Claire had no way to evade to evade Olba's thened blow
“You brat!”
Olba spat on Claire's crumpled body
The blood that flowed froether into a dark red stain on the ground
“No , Olba reached towards that bloodBut right at that moment, a soldier breathlessly rushed into the room
“Olbsama, it's terrible! We have intruders!”
