8 Their story: The future legendary host’s story
“Tha… that was uncalled for…”
My entire body’s screa It’s been a while I didn’t want to feel it but it was already too late
“I apologise”
In this case is it the instructor’s fault for always insisting on the alpha strike, or is it Sia’s fault who created this situation where he had no choice but to do it? Or, is ithit? Well, the last option definitely isn’t it
“We survived soet away”
“Sia didn’t bother taking us as hostages”
The instructor nodded sagely to round
I don’t knohat that nod is supposed to nore it
But
“What happened to Sia?”
“She’s currently sleeping after a beating with the metal bat”
“You didn’t kill her”
“I don’t kill my disciples”
At the all-too-calh No, even if he didn’t kill them
“There are times when death is the more peaceful option”
“Sia said the exact sa when I told her what happened to Rood”
“Rood was there as well?”
“No, I anization He said he came to take me to the princess”
Just what the heck did this instructor do, that ‘that i after him? I’d heard a lot of rumours about that princess
‘The most beautiful, but also the one with ht me often at the club told me that For the record, this person’s nickname in social circles was ‘thornbush’
If a person who got that nickna the noble ave the princess that evaluation then just what kind of person would she be?
But rumours frohness a while ago, she said she was raising black roses as a hobby She said she was raising theht that the princess had a unexpectedly girlish side to her Ah, Rein, do you knohat a black rose e of flowers?’
I was reave me a black rose she’d obtained That was quite troublesoe of flowers, a black rose irlish appearance as that duke’s daughter shyly gave h to the swordsmaster realht order
Meaning, an administrator who directly serves the princess!
The words of an admin always has persuasive power
Because of that I thought that the ruerated
The rureat and most of them were from the Great War How she had become terror incarnate in the hearts of enemy soldiers meant she was that skilled, and even when they discussed as thethe imperial faht that the other noble ladies had just spread rumours out of jealousy of her beauty and talent
But, at this moment, from what I heard from Sia and the instructor the truth was revealed!
As an active club worker, as soe of floas a tool we used frequently, and to e of flowers off by heart, theof a black rose s were too dark and irls don’t want to hear about that!
But considering what I heard from the instructor and Sia, and the obsession that could be co of ‘you’re s are naturally added on
Resentment and hatred
Wow, that fits really well
I hate you and I resent you but you are stillto a bed of black roses while chucking ‘fufufu,’ sends a shi+ver down my spine!
What the hell! There’s someone worse off than I am! The imperial princess and Sia! Coanization just because of a scrap between duke’s daughters am a joke!
If it’s that coh! You need to be able to flee officially or unofficially, but in this case you can’t run either in the light or the dark!
And the evenis that even the in theaway perfectly fine! What the hell, it’s scary! And physically the metal bat! It’s so scary!
And as I shook in fear the instructor said a shocking story, no a coanization”
“Yes?”
If I get caught I’et the full imperial torture course to reveal the instructor’s location and have allto drop acid on my neck one drop at a time to kill me
No, maybe even worse than that!
“In, instructor I just want to die normally”
“With this?”
“Hiiiik!”
But the instructor in front of ine a choice between one where I die cruelly in pain and where I can’t die cruelly in pain!
Why is my future so bleak?!
“Instructor, save me…”
“Just what is the princess to you that you’re doing this…”
“A Sia on a bigger scale?”
“I can’t refute that”
He didn’t deny it Yep I’o the only path that awaits me is pain I wanted to walk a path of flowers as a club host, but reality is a path of thorns no matter where I walk
“Now, if you don’t leave soon you’ll have Sia to deal with as well as the princess”
“Where are you going to go instructor…”
“Through another route, across the border where I’dom at the end of the world”
The ht?
“So use these to convince the kids”
“What are they?”
“The seals of their families The Neric Tower If you can get help from them, not even the princess can easily lay her hands on them Same with the other seals, all are part of faical enough, but would they really go as far asan enemy out of the princess to help me? I think they’d just take the seals and wipe their hands immediately?
“And you also have that”
“Although I think that it’s just going to be a hindrance as we’re escaping but… as a hostage it should be fine”
The woman trussed up in a sack is a beauty on the outside, the reality is a spinster host club regular Sword Star
Even if she looks like that she’s the little sister of the current Marquis Aserid, and a countess in her own right! But!
“If I use her as a hostage I think I’ll be the one that’s a hostage instead?!”
Right now she’s out and drooling but she’s the Sword Star! The most illustrious with the sword! At the sahters that pick scraps for fun, she’s the nuot no shot of…
“And for that reason, I’ll give you that”
“Re, really… are you really givingis permanently mine… I could possibly tread the path where death is a real possibility
“Now, I’ you anyway The princess already knows this Even if she’ll want information from you, she probably won’t torture or kill you She was oddly obsessed about the people in ht try to win you over to becohh…”
Along with ht
But at the same time it’s heavy If the weak has a treasure then it is stolen by the strong Can I protect it?
“Now, choose”
“I, I’ll do it!”
But there is no choice! If you were a disciple of the instructor, who could refuse this seduction!
Not even Sia could forget the traue one herself, but all she ht by the others of our cohort as they saved up their wages for theinal! It’s not the metal bat, but it’s still the chance for me to have the wooden bat!
“Now, this is your doppelganger Use this to fool the e me to do my best, the instructor patted me on the shoulder I was filled with devotion as I yelled in a confident voice
“I’ll defeat any enemy that comes!”
“You don’t necessarily have to defeat theood luck”
“Good luck, instructor!”
Looking at the instructor walk away I was saturated in delight Finally, the bat is in my hands!
“Now, No17 Or should I call you by nah the kids are looking at ht now
“Now, check if your family’s seal is in here somewhere”
