Forty minutes later.

Ofelia lifted her head from between Claire’s legs.

His sticky wet face from the tip of his nose to his chin was shining in the lamplight.

“Ha… . ha… .”

Completely exhausted, Claire lay on the bed, covering her eyes with one arm and breathing heavily.

My colorful chest rises and falls and shakes.

Cheeks flushed from a series of climaxes. The saliva that flowed down drenched the corners of my mouth.

The helpless body is trembling.

A joke that lasted for dozens of minutes.

Claire’s body was stained with sweat and Ophelia’s traces, making her feel as if she had taken a bath.

Ophelia wiped her mouth and smiled.

“It was better than I expected, sister. I’m glad to see you look happy too. Would this have been enough of an award?”

“Hmm… . Pervert, same year… . Why is this… , Sang, ya… .”

Claire muttered helplessly.

A very hoarse voice. I didn’t even have the energy to speak properly.

This is “Sang. This is a reward for not dying arbitrarily, but for coming back to life.”

“Crazy bitch… , I guess it’s a prize for you too… .”

“Um… . Well, you will find out soon enough. The reward is over, and now it’s time for punishment. It won’t be long before you ask for the award again, right?”

“… Punishment?”

At the disturbing tone, Claire slightly moved her arm that was covering her eyes and looked at Ophelia.

His little sister was sitting on top of him, smiling brightly from ear to ear and clicking a metal toy.

The tool that Ophelia had been holding in her hand since she entered the room.

Thanks to the lamp, the image is clearly visible.

At the end of a metal pillar as thick as a thumb was a circular handle.

Every time the handle was turned, dozens of thorns repeatedly popped out and retracted between the pillars.

“Yes, punishment. Of course, right? Not only did you try to kill me, but you should be punished for mistreating me while I was there. If you get punished and repent, you will come back as a good sister.”

“You, you are crazy… !”

Claire looked at her younger sister in a cold sweat… No, I looked up at the woman I had thought of as my sister for a long time, but now I couldn’t even figure out what she was.

The face facing me with its back to the light was cast in deep shadow, so I could barely see its expression.

Only the two brightly shining eyes sparkled, revealing sadism and lust.

The moment our eyes meet, the round pupils draw an arc and narrow.

Claire swallowed her saliva without realizing it and looked at Ophelia with pleading eyes.

His anger and pride were all broken by the cruelty of the forty minutes of humiliation and torture.

“You’re already waking up, where has your usual venom gone? are you okay. I prepared enough medicine to treat the wound and ease the pain. If you can’t stand it, just cry and say you did something wrong. It’s up to me whether I’ll listen or not.”

Ophelia smiled with satisfaction and brought the torture tool she was holding downwards.

Claire’s thighs trembled at the feel of cold metal.

“Then, please put on a good face, sister. I like seeing my sister struggle, but… I think the pain screaming will get a lot better.”

Eventually, Claire’s screams echoed beyond the basement and all the way to the ground.

The end she reached by dirtying her hands and body was hell.

=====[Hashal]=====

“Ahhhh!”

The sound of broken and hoarse screams lingers in my ears.

I lit a cigarette at the entrance to the basement and tried my best to ignore the noise coming from below.

A sweet moan that lasted for dozens of minutes, followed by a terrible scream.

I had a rough idea of what was going on in the basement, which seemed to be filled with darkness… Trying not to think about it.

When they arrived after shaking off the pursuing knights, the Sigmillus Mansion was already a burnt-out ruin.

Because it had become a nest for insect monsters, it had no choice but to be incinerated with fire.

It is said that because all members of the family, from the head of the family to the individual servants, were gathered in the mansion, no one survived.

The family of Count Sigmillus was extinct.

It was natural that Ophelia, the only one whose whereabouts were unclear, was pointed out as the culprit of this incident.

If it had been a simple disappearance, she might have been considered a victim as well, but the more she investigated, the more evidence was uncovered that she had intentionally tried to hide her tracks.

Records of secretly hiding the Robe of Concealment that the Empire was trying to retrieve and researching its operating principles, a large-scale expenditure of funds whose purpose is unclear.

Things that look like traces of movement that strangely twisted the route and made it difficult to know the destination.

It was originally an effort to assassinate Claire… Things went wrong, and the evidence was fabricated as evidence that she had annihilated her family and escaped after inhumane experiments.

It must have been Isabella’s doing.

I had the attitude that if I got caught for this, it would be a good thing, and even if I missed, it wouldn’t really matter.

In any case, Ophelia van Siegmillus will no longer be able to live with her own name.

Therefore, a wanted order was issued to Ophelia, so she managed to escape to her hideout, hiding herself from the eyes of the empire.

There was no need to go with her because there were no charges against me, but if she was caught, Claire, whom she had captured, would be taken away.

Today is the second day since I arrived at the hideout.

Since Claire was being cared for with utmost sincerity, I thought she was recovering her body… I saw earlier that all his hands and feet had been cut off.

I was shocked inside.

There now… .

“Aaaa! Please, please stop! I’m sorry, I’m sorry Ophelia!! It’s my fault! I did something wrong, please! Ahhh!!”

Once again, a scream is heard. A sigh came out of my mouth.

The female mage I tried to make as a colleague was a madman who raped and tortured my own sister.

If we were to really ask the question, we could say that even torture is a form of retribution.

Retribution is right, I… ?

That’s right… ?

“Ahhhh!”

… Let’s assume it’s correct.

It was an hour later when Ophelia came up from the basement.

It looked like he had washed off his body, which had been soaked with all kinds of bodily fluids, but it was clear that he had enjoyed it to the fullest just by looking at the slightly fishy smell that was still permeating and the flushed face that seemed to be dripping with red juice.

I don’t want to argue about other people’s tastes, but… . This woman is a bit… .

Without realizing it, I took a step back.

“… Is this crazy thing over?”

“I guess I’m done with today’s game. There are still some rewards and punishments left… From now on, it will be up to you.”

Isn’t it a punishment either way?

I sighed and threw away the finished cigarette.

Yeah, it’s none of my business whether you two rub legs or torture each other.

Let’s just finish my business and go back.

To be honest, I don’t want to get involved in this dirty and dirty political drama between sisters.

“So, are you planning to keep Claire like that from now on? If you bring that woman forward as a witness, it seems possible to bring down Isabella.”

First business.

The proposal was to accuse Isabella using her as a witness.

Even though I suggested it, I didn’t really have high expectations. There is no way Ophelia would agree.

“That’s… This must be troublesome. I’m really grateful that they helped me this far, but I can’t let others know that my sister is alive. Because there will be more than one person who will try to kill you.”

As expected, Ophelia rejected my offer without hesitation.

It was the reaction I expected. She wants Claire to leave the stage like this and be forgotten.

If it becomes known that Claire is alive, Isabella’s group will try to kill her to silence her… .

Even if it wasn’t for them, if they reported Isabella, what Claire had done would also come to light, and the moment it was revealed, Claire would also die.

Considering the women who were sacrificed to her, there is no way the Leopoldists would let Claire live.

“Then I just worked hard and gained nothing… To be honest, I had to catch not one, not two, but six masters, but wasn’t I losing by a long way?”

“I’m really grateful for that. If you hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have been able to win or get my sister. Originally, I would have been willing to give away at least half of the Sigmillus family… .”

That family has already been reduced to ashes and fertilizer.

I had no expectations from the beginning.

In the original, after capturing Claire, the Sigmillus family went extinct.

It was only when I came here that I found out how it happened.

“Hmm… Then can I ask you one thing?”

“Please? say it. It’s something I can do, and as long as it doesn’t cause harm to my sister, I’ll listen to anything.”

“Do you remember how I often walked around with Damian, Millia, and Friede? I hope you join them later too. It’s a combination that lacks magic power.”

Is this the right thing to do… ?

Even as he offers suggestions to Ophelia, he asks himself inwardly.

From the beginning, I had helped so far with the intention of defeating Claire and recruiting Ophelia, but… .

After seeing Ophelia’s dark underbelly, I’m not sure if this is really the right decision.

“… Are you saying you’re recruiting me as your exclusive mage or something? There’s nothing that can’t be done, but… Still, I don’t think it’s possible now.”

“That’s right. First of all, it will only be possible after your name is cleared.”

Because you can’t take a woman who is wanted throughout the empire as a party member right now.

You will only be able to join the party after Isabella falls.

By then, won’t everyone have grown up to the level of three masters and one high-ranking wizard?

You have to be at that level so you don’t go somewhere and die as a guest.

“No, it doesn’t matter if I change my face with magic, but if I go out and go out, there will be no one to take care of my sister. I can’t even go to the bathroom like that, and I can’t even put on a diaper.”

… Crazy bitch.

—-

Anyway, after roughly discussing it, I parted ways with Ophelia and returned to the special building.

Ophelia was happy and went down into the basement again.

It’s been a while since I last saw the special building’s accommodations. I thought it would be short, but it ended up taking over a week.

Is everything going to be okay for Lana?

“Ah! You’re finally back, Sister Hashal! How was your visit?”

It was fine.

He must have been eating and playing leisurely during that time, so his soft cheeks were slightly sticking out through his pink curly hair.

“It was tiring… . Has no one come to visit me so far?”

“Friede and Lacey came once! When I heard that I didn’t have a sister, I said I knew, but they both just passed away.”

Friede and Lacey?

Friede, you came to hang out like always, and Lacey… I’ll have to see you tomorrow or something.

I took off my armor and lay down on the bed.

“Hashall sister! If you have traveled far, you should wash before lying down in bed!”

“Yes, yes. I’ll take a shower in a bit.”

I closed my eyes while listening to Lana’s nagging.

By the way, Hashal’s ‘sister’… .

I tried not to pay attention to it until now, but after hearing it for the first time in a while, I felt a little uncomfortable.

I know that Lana calls me sister because she just wants a family-like relationship, but… .

I feel like the meaning of that word has changed within me through this experience.
