Chapter 66

.

Third day of the hearing, four days remaining.

Ha ha ha, so Ive told you. many times. .

Kenya is out of breath.

Its not like he did any intense exercise, but he cant get oxygen to his lungs properly.

The poison that Catherine mixed into his food has weakened his immune system and worsened his condition.

He is also unable to think properly.

Whats that attitude youve been talking about! Will you stand up properly!

Sorry, Im sorry. Im feeling a bit sick.

Hmph! Youre just sick because you want avoid hearing, you filthy blood! Keep asking questions!

(What? A cold? I have a slight headache.)

Kenya was on the verge of getting sick.

Of course, because of the poison Catherine had doused him with, and because of that dreadful prison.

Kenyas immune system was weakened by the poison and the nutritionally poor diet.

In addition, the daily hearings added to his stress.

And that prison with open windows and no bedding exposed to the outside air.

It was obvious that under these conditions, Kenya, a shut-in with no special training, would fall ill.

But the hearing was not over.

The same questions are repeated in Kenya forever.

In order to corner Kenya before that appointed day.

***

Why cant you even visit him!

A military facility where the Inquisition is being held.

Reina arrives there.

But when she asks for a visit, she is refused.

Therefore, I cannot see you until the suspicion is cleared. If you insist, please ask for Odins permission, as it is an order from Odin-sama.

Kuh!

No matter how much she tried to talk, Reina couldnt get in touch with Kenya on that one side of the line.

She thought he would return soon, but her impatience grew and she couldnt stand still, so she visited the facility.

I understand.

There was nothing Reina could do now.

Rhode went to the battlefield on Odins orders, and her father also moved, but there was nothing more she could do.

So now it was just.

(Kenya-kun be safe.)

I could only pray for Kenyas safety.

***

Osiris-sama as expected.

This is the KOG training ground in the Imperial Capital.

Odins knight, Osiris Halberd, sharpening his claws.

Osiris repeats his training on the simulator against his junior chief holy knights and holy knights.

Although many of them are still young, they are among the most powerful in the Empire.

Against these opponents, he repeats simulation battles and recalls his forgotten senses, just to win against Kenya.

Ha, ha. Not yet. Still go deeper. I can still go.

Osiris has defeated all the chief holy knights in training day after day.

The name of the Sword Saint was not a mere title, and even though he had been away from actual combat for a long time, his strength was exceptional.

Next, I dont care if its three against one. Come on.

That, we have the pride of a chief holy knight! Osiris-san, I will win indeed.

Hello, Ken-Kun.

Who are you?

A long-legged woman in bright red, tight clothing who didnt fit in the prison appeared in front of Kenya.

She was beautiful, he thought, and yet Kenya couldnt like her at all.

She looks mean, like someone else.

Im Odin-Samas secretary, my name is Catherine. Nice to meet you.

(Yes, thats Yumir. She looks like Yumir, this person. Very mean looking.)

Why do you want to see me?

Ive come to see how youre doing, you know, the traitor who doesnt know how to stand on his own two feet. Hmm, Id like you to be a little weaker.

! What do you mean?

Fufu, you must have realised by now, havent you? This is a hearing to weaken you.

Why are you doing this?, fight fair and square

Fair and square! Ha ha! What are you talking about? Youre so funny, arent you stupid?

Catherine laughs loudly, as if mocking Kenya before he can finish his words.

That high-pitched voice echoes in his head, and Kenya feels annoyed.

Huh, youre all really stupid. Even the Rhode and other unclean-blooded royalty are idiots.

I may be an idiot, but hes not!

He must be that stupid because he has half inferior blood. And thats why hes so stupid to stand up against Odin-Sama. I hear hes called an undefeated commander or something, but anyone with the military power of the Asgard Empire could do that. I could do it better.

You never can hes amazing.

For the past six months, Kenya has been watching Rhode up close.

His intelligence, his kindness, his personality.

Although there are parts that piss him off a little, Kenya still likes him enough to call him a friend from the bottom of his heart.

He was the first friend Kenya had ever made.

She made fun of that friend.

Thats why I was pissed off.

I felt annoyed at this woman who made fun of him, as if she knew him.

Because Kenya knows that that guy is many times more amazing than this person.

Hmm, if you cry and apologise, Ill stop torturing you, okay? Otherwise, lets suggest to Odin-sama how to brutally kill filthy blood Rhode, Im sure itll be fun.

Never!

Thatll be fun rip off the limbs? Or burning with fire? Hmm

Im not going to lose.

Well do your best at best. Theres no way you can beat Osiris. But hey, Ill bury you and your Rohdes head together, how merciful of me.

Catherine then turns back to her feet as if she had enough fun, and leaves.

Well then, struggle on at your best. Like a clown you are.

Kenya was frustrated and agitated.

But when the time comes, and he cools down, his body remembers.

( Shit. My head hurts. And my breathing why so much.)

And the hearing continued the next day.

Finally, Kenya sat down on the spot.

What are you sitting on! Hey, make him stand up!

Kenya is forced to stand up, his body burning.

The inquest is still forced to continue, but his condition only worsens.

That night, Kenya could not sleep due to the high temperatures.

His physical strength is already close to its limit.

(Ha ha ha, my throat hurts, my lungs hurt, and blood? Is my stomach upset I need to drink water)

There are only two days left until the Imperial Sword and Warrior Festival.

(I have to endure it somehow. Two more days.)

As if mocking Kenya for such naive thinking.

Hmm, todays a special blend. Ill put in twice as much as usual.

The witch laughs.
