Chapter 8:

Master of the Fortress

ANGIE, LIVIA, AND NOELLE raced down the corridors with Cleare in the lead. Her blue lens flickered as she scanned the paths ahead, calculating the shortest route to the treasure.

“This way!”

The paths she’d chosen thus far had led the girls to turn corner after corner in a serpentine pattern. Cleare had chosen the circuitous route because it let them dodge unnecessary fights.

Angie glanced over her shoulder. Noelle was keeping up, but her face contorted in pain. She’d been given a clean bill of health after rehabilitation a while back, but her stamina hadn’t completely recovered. Nor could she feasibly compete with the monstrous endurance of Holfortian nobility like Angie; Angie was on a different level, having trained for this sort of thing all her life. Noelle wasn’t struggling alone either.

“I-I can’t do this anymore,” Livia wheezed, even more winded. Her face pinched as she gasped for air.

Angie slowed her pace to a walk. At this rate, she’d lose them both. If she were on her own, she could have kept going, but her companions had hit their limit.

“Let’s take a break. Cleare, is there anywhere we can rest?”

Livia and Noelle tottered to a stop, collapsing against the wall.

Cleare eyed the girls and sounded a bit annoyed as she said, “We can rest here. I detect neither enemies nor traps in the vicinity. Problem is, we’re losing time. I’ll have to recalculate our route. And while I get why Nelly can’t keep up, what’s your excuse, Liv? You’ve got zero stamina.”

“I-I’m more of…the indoor…type…” Livia managed between gasps.

Livia could concentrate and study for hours at a time, but she was terrible when it came to exercise.

Angie placed a hand on her forehead, smiling wryly. “This is why I told you to work out more. Endurance is a basic necessity.”

“I prided myself on having above average endurance in the republic, but you Holfortians are inhuman,” Noelle argued, covered in a thin sheen of sweat. “We’ve run for, like, forever and you don’t look the least bit tired.”

If this had been an unfettered sprint, the girls probably could have continued for a bit longer. The problem was the armor weighing them down, as well as the weapons in their hands. Combined, their supplies were rather heavy. Hence Noelle was shocked to see that Angie looked fresh as morning dew even after having run for ages. Noelle and Livia were out of breath and about to topple over, while Angie regarded them as if she couldn’t comprehend what had come over them.

“If that’s all it takes to wear you down, you’ll never be adventurers,” Angie said.

Noelle shook her head. “How do you think you’re normal?!”

Once Livia and Noelle had regained their composure, Angie had them start off again, if at a more sedate pace. As the girls went, they began to complain about Leon. Angie in particular kept a smile on her face, but she was unreservedly furious with his underhanded behavior—the nerve of him, hiding that secret route.

“He can be such a scoundrel,” she said.
