Chapter 23

“Hmm. Hmph. Mmm~”

Ah. Ahh. Feels good. I keep humming without realizing it.

I hope there’s nothing weird on my face. Are my clothes okay like this?

The man. The so-called returning student, ‘Karl,’ is supposed to arrive soon.

It’s about time he agreed when we requested him as a witness! I almost screamed.

I wondered how I could meet him again without arousing any suspicion, but things worked out well.

Being ex-military, he seemed observant in these matters, so there’s nothing to worry about!

“Eloise Loengrand.”

As I slightly turned around, several Imperial Special Forces agents entered.

“We’ve brought the suspects for interrogation. The witness will arrive shortly.”

“Good. Very good.”

“In that sense... uh, please put this on.”

What the agents offered was a long coat. Why are they suddenly giving me this?

“Why? Planning to stuff me in a cold room and interrogate me?”

“...No, it’s because of your attire.”

“My attire? What’s wrong with it?”

As I gently lifted one leg slightly, the agents frowned.

Why are they like that? Not even flustered. Could it be that they’re eunuch?

“This is strange. They say Imperial males drop dead at the sight of a female elf like me.”

“This might be different from other departments, but here, it’s the Special Forces. Charms don’t work.”

“Well, that’s news to me. Haven’t all of you experienced ‘real’ charms?”

I can’t help but laugh. Seems like training and real operations are the same.

I’ve been preying on countless of my kind till now.

Even those noble ones are ultimately biologically male, after all.

Look at them. They say it doesn’t work, yet look at those twitching pupils.

The moment they hesitate, a dagger pierces their heart, and a bullet hits their forehead.

Does beauty have to involve mixing bodies?

In a moment of carelessness, while briefly looking away, it’s already over.

Disappointing. I expected the Imperial Special Forces guys to be somewhat different.

“Anyway, please put it on. And please don’t wear such revealing clothes outside.”

What? Ah, it’s because of the side slit? Oh, it’s weaker than I thought.

This side slit is a great find, allowing the refreshing forest breeze to embrace my whole body.

I don’t understand why humans wrap themselves up tightly with all sorts of etiquette!

“Yes. Yes. Thank you for your concern~ Then, where should I go?”

“Follow me.”

I follow the agents. I wanted to play around, but I restrained myself.

Given their nature, if I mess around behind them, they’ll pull out guns or knives.

Ah, mentioning knives makes me miss Karl. He was really handsome.

And he was good at close combat and had excellent marksmanship!

There might be some truth to the stories of a prince who rescues in times of crisis!

The newspapers said his marksmanship wasn’t great, but it must be a disguise!

They deliberately downplay it because it’s tiring to be too outstanding. I’m sure.

Otherwise, where else would you find a monster who blocks bullets with bullets?!

‘Hehe. I wonder what that man would say about this outfit?’

Ah, I’m so curious about his reaction. I feel like I’ll go crazy with curiosity!

Because if she blurted out that word any louder, there might be a ‘snowstorm’!

I immediately released her lips, but Eloise looked at me with surprised eyes.

You’re surprised? I’m surprised too. Actually, it’s the first time I’ve heard that term too.

“Rika. Where on earth have you been roaming...?”

My sister, Rika Adelheit, as she’s known to the world, is just a nice, talented young lady.

Instead of entering the academy, she entered some ‘upper echelon’ at the age of 16 and handled various tasks.

Some say it’s degrading work, but they say there’s nothing better than learning the flow of money, so those words soon sink in. She’s known as a true lady who strives for the family and territory.

That’s the fact about my sister that people in the world know.

‘But nothing is quite right.’

Let me introduce her again. My sister, Rika Adelheit.

Former team leader of the Imperial Special Operations Task Force.

Although she retired due to preparations for inheriting the family estate, her connections and abilities are still remarkable.

That’s because the special operations task force is directly under the royal family, not a subsidiary of the Ministry of War!

Given the status of the position, her career is kept secret.

Only our father, mother, and I barely know about it.

Even the steward and the maids who dedicated their lives to our family don’t know.

And yet. I knew that my sister was the head of such a fearsome place.

Blade Queen. I’ve never heard of her holding such an absurd title before.

Goodness. Of all things, it had to be blade queen. Thankfully, there are no extraterrestrial monsters here.

“I’m Rika Adelheit. Eloise Loengrand. Commander of the Hyzens’ Extermination Unit, right?”

In the midst of it all, that perverted elf is just as intimidating as my sister. Extermination unit? What the hell!

“The relationship between the two of you seems... quite interesting. So, could you do something about that outfit? If you’re going to cover up, do it properly.”

The perverted elf may have unintentionally exposed your sister’s identity.

But ironically, my sister seemed more uncomfortable with Eloise’s attire than anything else.

It’s strange. I’m the one who came from a Confucian society, so why is she acting more like this?

“I’m sorry. The coat I gave earlier... It’s here.”

Eloise quickly puts on the coat. She twirls around once.

...Hmm. To tell the truth, there isn’t much difference.

It seems like it’s a coat given by the Special Forces, but the problem is Eloise’s proportions are too good.

Although she put it on, it only covered her upper body, leaving nothing covered below. Thanks to that, her slit skirt and the glimpse of her white thighs in between... Ahem! Ahem!

“Don’t look at that, Karl.”

“Huh?”

“Look away. How dare you in front of my Karl.”

Sister. I’m grown up now. I’m at an age where seeing this isn’t a big deal.

“Let’s go quickly. To where those Kanfras are. Eloise? Could you also behave appropriately?”

“I didn’t do anything in particular, but... Sure. Blade Queen, uh, Rika.”

As Eloise took the first step and my sister, who was looking at her with disapproval, followed her.

I unknowingly grab my sister and say.

“Sister.”

“Huh! Yes, Karl. What? Did that elf bother you? Just say the word. I’ll... subtly handle it.”

“Uh, just in case. Just don’t corrupt or betray me later. Got it?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t even say, ‘Go. Carl. Come on.'”

“What’s gotten into him all of a sudden?”

Well, my sister isn’t someone who would do that.

But I’m also nervous about the weird titles.
