Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
He Who Spreads Death - (6)

Even Olivia was frightened after seeing Claudia's angry face. Olivia seeks help from Ashton who binds the prisoner with his untrained hands. Unfortunately, Ashton turned his face helplessly.

Olivia was left without any help.

"Claudia, calm down and listen. I planned to kill all the rats, but I realized that we could get useful information if I let it live, so I caught him. I did well, didn't I?" Olivia puffed out her chest and explained proudly.

Claudia sighed heavily upon hearing that. "Your happiness will fly like a bird if you sigh." Olivia thought of sharing this wisdom with Claudia, but decided not to because it might make her even more angry.

“-Sigh, let's stop there. You're right, the intel from the Heat Haze is valuable, but I don't think he'll just give up."

Claudia looked at the captured man, and seemed to have forgiven Olivia. Olivia breathed a sigh of relief. He decided to call them flies instead of sewer rats next time, so Claudia would understand his point.

“Ugghh..”.

“O-Olivia. He seems to have woken up."

Ashton quickly moved away from the Heat Haze man. The man shook his head slightly, then raised his head slightly:

“... Looks like I've been taken alive.”

After looking around, he realized that he was tied to a pillar. He then showed a cold smile.

“Why didn't you kill me? Isn't that the norm for a monster like you?"

“But I'm not a monster. I told you many times before, my name is Olivia. Tell us your name. ”

With that, Olivia took off the man's mask. The masked man mentioned his name Joey with a bitter face.

"Mr Joey, yes. We got some— ”

"Major, please wait."

Claudia interrupted. He walked towards the man, crouched down and looked into his eyes. After a moment of silence…

"He's really lying."

Claudia snorted with that.

“Ahaha, so. Claudia's eyes were completely match. It was truly a heavenly blessing. I'll ask you again, what's your name? ”

Olivia pointed at the man's jaw. He said his real name was Alvin.

“—She's telling the truth this time.”

Alvin was shocked by Claudia's words. Ashton was confused by their interaction.

“Alright, Mr. Alvin, sorry, but we have some questions for you. If you answer honestly, I can let you go. "

"Major, it—"

Claudia objected, but Olivia's mind changed.

"Haha. But that girl has no intention of letting me go? "

Alvin who had calmed down slightly smiled coldly again.

“Don't worry, I guarantee my words. So, what about that? ”

It doesn't matter for Olivia to cut off Alvin's head if he refuses to cooperate. Z will be happy to get more food as well. Olivia would stand to get no matter how it turned out.

“- So, what do you want to know?”

Alvin hesitated for a moment, then spoke reluctantly. Claudia was surprised about that, but Olivia asked without hesitation:

“First, tell us why you stalked us?”

“... Hmmp, there is no harm in telling you that. We're gathering information on the Seventh Army's movements."

“What does it have to do with us already taking Kasper Castle?”

Olivia's questions impress Alvin.

“Oh ~ You are smart. That's right, the Seventh Army that destroyed the southern army has angered the commanders who conquered the northern region of the Kingdom. If you understand, stop lazing here and head north. You could have been killed there, but I can't imagine a monster like you dying. ”

Alvin then showed a curvy smile. Even Olivia felt uneasy after seeing that sinister face of hers. Suddenly, an angry roar came from the side:

"You son of a bitch! Enough with your nagging about monsters! ”

Claudia waved her fists furiously. Even the mild-mannered Ashton looked angry, something Olivia had never seen before. Olivia was surprised by their reaction, and smiled shyly:

"Claudia, Ashton, it's okay. I don't mind."

“But I object!”

Claudia's punch was stopped by Olivia just in time.

"Major…"

“Oooo, the monster seems to be popular among you.”

Alvin scoffed again. Before Claudia could speak, Ashton said with a cold look at Alvin:

“Olivia, why don't we just kill him? We've got the answer, so he's no longer useful to us."

"Ho, Ashton, your words don't suit you at all."

Olivia drew her sword with a smile, and swung it towards Alvin. It just cut the rope without hurting him.

“... So, you really let me go?”

Alvin got up slowly, and moved his limbs to check on his condition.

“I have guaranteed my words. Besides, can you pass on a message to the commander you mentioned?"

“... Let me hear it.”

“Clean your neck and wait for me. Your head is mine. That's all."

Olivia smiled faintly, and Alvin nodded with a strange face.

“A-Me-Understood. I'll deliver that message. "

"I'm counting on you, Mr. Alvin."

Alvin retreated carefully from Olivia's sword, and left the Silver Moon Pavilion.

“—Mayor, is this okay?”

Claudia was still grumbling as she stared at the open door. Olivia was pleased that Claudia was angry for her sake, and replied:

“Yes, we already know the enemy's destination. Ashton was right, as expected of our strategist."

Olivia claps and praises Ashton, and Ashton scratches the back of his head shyly:

“That aside, Olivia, why are you mocking them? We will only get the wrath of the enemy without any advantage."

"I think so too."

“Well, since I said that, our opponent will remain silent and wait for us carefully. From what he said, the enemy seems to be completely obsessed with us."

"That means, it will ensure the Imperial forces in the north will not attack the central war theater, yes ..."

"That's right, this is a strategy."

Olivia raised a finger and said proudly. Battle is not limited to swordsmanship and unarmed combat. If words could restrict the movement of the enemy, it would be a good exchange.

Ashton understood Olivia's intentions and nodded, impressed by her.

"Allah ... After exercising, I feel hungry."

Olivia looked towards the kitchen as she rubbed her stomach. The waiter who was observing the situation from under the table shouted in fear.

“Jeez... Major, you've always been free-spirited. Understood, I'll have them prepare dinner."

"No need, I prefer Ashton's special mustard bread."

“Hah? The food in this restaurant is better than mine. ”

"Whatever, I just want Ashton's bread."

Ashton's face softened after hearing that.

"Is that so? I'll make it for you now. ”

He then headed to the kitchen in high spirits.

“Sorry, may I borrow your kitchen for a moment?”

“T-Of course! Please use."

The server escaped from the kitchen and rushed down the stairs without returning. After seeing the server leave, Claudia pushed Olivia's back hard:

“While Ashton makes your bread, quickly change your clothes, Major. Your appearance unsettles the other guests."

“Ya, understand!”

Olivia answered excitedly, and went to her room with light steps.
