Chapter 19

Translated by Momo & edited by Mary

After dinner, Cecilia stood alone in the middle of the forest. This place was part of the hiking trail used during the stamp rally.

It was wide and also has a good view of the surroundings, with few people passing by it. It was reasonably close to the dorm and, above all, it wouldn’t interfere with the event between Leanne and Jade.

This was the place they chose when they were walking around and searching during the daytime.

Cecilia stood there and waited for her opponent.

(If they’re aiming for my life, they will surely strike at a time when I’m completely alone!)

Of course, she didn’t want to risk her life, so Oscar was watching over from afar.

The strategy was simple. Cecilia would stand by herself and act as a decoy while waiting. Then, they would ambush the perpetrator. In the game, the murderer always acted alone, so even if it was just Oscar and Cecilia, they would at least outnumber the opponent.

Also, the assassin would never directly attack one of the knights in the game, so it was unlikely that Oscar would be harmed.

(I actually wanted to watch the event with Jade, but since that happened, I’ll just have to uphold it.)

She already confirmed that Leanne and Jade have feelings for each other. Even if Cecilia didn’t closely watch the event, it would probably be fine. Rather, watching it might become a hindrance.

Cecilia settled her resolve and grunted.

“Come at me anytime! I will take a good look at your face!!!”

Even though she had all that enthusiasm, she waited and waited, but no one came. She couldn’t even feel that piercing gaze from before.

There was only the sound of the wind swaying the leaves.

“Was everything only in my imagination…??”

After an hour or so, nothing happened, and Cecilia feebly slumped her shoulders.

She actually didn’t want someone to come, but if they simply don’t appear, it really felt like it was all for naught.

“Hey, it doesn’t look like someone’s coming, right?”

Oscar impatiently came out from the shade of the trees.

"I’m kinda tired of waiting", he said while flexing his neck sideways.

“I’m sorry. I’m the end nothing happened…”

“You don’t need to apologize for it since this is the better outcome anyway.”

A bit dispirited, Cecilia looked down while she heard his gentle voice.

Then, she looked up.

“Oscar is very kind. Thank you.”

As Cecilia laughed with a disappointed expression, Oscar’s cheeks slightly reddened.

“Not really! I’m not kind to you because i-it’s you, okay?! I’m just kind to everyone!!”

“Isn’t a loss if you brag about yourself like that?”

“So noisy!”

Oscar pouted, sticking out his lips.

Cecilia already knew what that expression meant. He was being shy.

(In the end, I think he’s pretty cute like that.)

Through this school camp, she was able to understand a little bit more about Oscar, whom she had classified as an annoyance just a few days ago.

It was exactly at that moment. A sudden sharp noise like iron cans colliding against each other could be heard.

This was the sound of someone hitting an improvised alarm, which was made by combining a garbage can and some strings from the kitchen. When Cecilia decided to wait for the peeping tom there, she spread those things all over the place in advance.

“Where is it!?”

Oscar shouted nervously at the obvious signs of someone’s presence. Then, a waist-high bush shook roughly.

“Right there!”

Oscar placed his hand on his ‘treasure’. The silver bracelet quickly changed its shape and volume, becoming a sword.

When Cecilia saw the \'treasure’ reveal itself for the first time, she exclaimed, “Wooow!”. It was definitely not the same as a game display.

Oscar heaved the sword.

The sword lunged forward without stabbing any of the trees on its way.

The characteristic of his treasure was \'to cut through everything’. Whether it’s wood, iron, or diamond, his sword would cut it like tofu. Therefore, there was also a peculiarity that anything that did not need to be cut was left intact.

In other words, the released sword did not cause unnecessary damage to the trees in the forest. It stabbed only what he aimed for.

“Gyaaaah!”

When they looked at the direction of the scream, Leanne and Jade were standing there. Oscar’s sword was stuck in the tree just beside them. But half of it was missing. No, it would be more accurate to point out that it looked like half of it was invisible.

Oscar stabbed Jade’s \'treasure’.

His treasure was specialized in disguise. It was a cloak that would erase signs and presences just by covering it.

The cloak was hooked on the tip of the blade and it made the blade look like it had suddenly chipped in half.

Oscar and Cecilia approached the two who had fallen on their backside.

“Why are two here?”

“Was it you guys all along?”

“Ahaha…”

Those two apologetically laughed whilst leaning against each other.
