Kazushi unlocked the door of the archive from the inside then cracked it open to check their surroundings. Fortunately, the administrative building hallway was illuminated only by the lamps that came on at night and was devoid of any signs of people. The damp clamminess of the air was rather unpleasant, however.

Kazushi turned around and nodded to Miyo and Kiyo, solemnly watching for his signal.

They nodded back, and Kazushi stealthily opened the door to prevent it from creaking then exited into the hall.

This is quite some tension, isn’t it?

He hadn’t even felt this nervous the first time he’d faced off with a Grotesquerie. Right now, he felt like the anxiety in the air would pierce his skin and send shivers of excitement running down his spine.

Kazushi looked at Miyo after she began walking ahead of them to lead the way.

Her back was dignified, straightened to the sky. Her footsteps concealed a clean elegance, betraying no hints of agitation.

And though her body was a tiny, delicate thing, he felt a bold majesty emanating from it, like that of a princess strolling through the corridors of the Imperial Palace. He didn’t sense an iota of uncertainty or doubt in her.

Kazushi took the lead to scout for foes as they approached a bend in the corridor. Once he had confirmed that it was deserted, they continued on anew.

Just then, they heard the sound of a door opening behind them.

The door artlessly opened with a loud creak, but before the man responsible came into view, Kazushi silently rushed over, got behind him, and wrapped his hands around his neck.

“Hngh…!”

The late-middle-aged soldier didn’t even get a chance to see their faces before he let out a short groan, losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground.

Kazushi hadn’t killed him. There was nothing to be gained from needless bloodshed.

“Whew.”

After looking inside the room to make sure there wasn’t anyone else there, Kazushi let out a sigh as he stepped over the soldier sprawled out on the floor to return to Miyo and Kiyo’s side.

“Well done.”

“But of course. I’m tasked to be your escort today, after all.”

Even though he wasn’t part of the military, Kazushi was no stranger to getting his hands dirty.

His Gift wasn’t very strong, and his skills with it were mediocre at best.

However, he couldn’t afford to be incompetent when he was going to inherit the family name one day, so he’d trained in techniques outside his Gift to fulfill his duties.

His forte, dispelling arts, was one such example, and he’d studied a general degree of martial arts as well.

His younger brother seemed to believe Kazushi was only ever gallivanting about town, but despite his frivolity, he had trained hard in between his periods of leisure.

“…Right. Thank you very much.”

Miyo thanked him with a slightly strained smile, looking down on the collapsed soldier with pity. She was still as dignified and noble as ever.

That’s clearly the face of someone who is stifling her distaste for violence.

Kazushi took out the fan in his breast pocket and snapped it over his mouth as he glanced at her.
