Case 32: Execution.
Case 32: Execution.
''...Please go and help those that are still in the cells.'' I say to Adam, who immediately orders most of our team to release the slaves.
Turning to the man on the floor, I can see that he has already lost consciousness, likely due to the shock earlier.
''...Let's take him back first.'' Liana sighs.
''Mhmm.'' Emy nods.
''Alright, let's clean up the way out first.'' I say, turning to the door in which we entered earlier, most likely the guards are alerted because of the unconscious people up there.
''Ah, can you make sure this guy doesn't go anywhere else?'' I tell the only S.D. member left besides us.
''Understood, Your Highness, please be careful.''
''Thanks.'' I reply. ''Let's go, Emy, Liana.''
As I've thought, guards are virtually everywhere up here. Everyone is panicking, it seems like.
''Hey! The intruders are here, apprehend them!'' One of the guards shouts.
Well, we can't really use guns here, so let's just knock them all out.
After sorting out the situation above the basement, Adam comes to me with a report.
''Your Highness, there's a total of 11 slaves, of which 2 of them are our people.''
''Alright. How are their injuries?''
''Most of them are pretty badly injured, Your Highness, what do you think we should do?''
''...Let's get them treated first, we have a healer, right?''
''We do, at the secret base, Your Highness.''
''Let's get all of them to the base, then.''
''Understood.'' Adam excuses himself.
''...''
Most of the rescued slaves are escorted to our base in the forest near the capital, the non-elves will have most of their injuries treated, and then given some money to live on their own, of course, we treat them with high caution, wearing masks and stuff, as to not leak out our identity as elves.
Their injuries will be treated as well, and then there will be a regular convoy going from the kingdom to the secret base for them to get on and go back to our country.
Now then, the only thing left is the Marquis.
I walk down to the basement again, moving the man with telekinesis, and head to our car.
After dumping him in the car trunk and freezing him again just for sure, I help the members with moving the slaves. Fortunately, the other car we had was a half-truck, but we had to put an illusion on the slaves to make them invisible anyway.
Now sitting silently in the car, I can vividly remember the feeling of shooting those guys... It's... Disturbing. I am feeling slightly nauseous now, I think, my hands are also shaking a little bit. I don't like that feeling, but I will have to experience it again, I can't forgive those trash, this is probably the first time in a while since I've been this mad.
''...Hahh...'' I unknowingly sigh.
Suddenly, I can feel arms wrapping around my body from both sides. Emy and Liana are hugging me, patting my back.
...Right, this is why having people you can rely on is important.
''Thanks.''
After dropping off the rescued people at the base, quite a lot of them thanked us for saving them. The others seem grateful as well. I hope they can live better from now on.
Anyway, now back at the residence, the other team which Isabella leads has also successfully rescued the slaves, they just came back after dropping them to the base like us. Apparently, that side had even more slaves, almost 20 of them, that mansion was being used as a 'training' facility for slaves before they got to the main mansion, according to the information they told us.
We decided that the Marquis can't be forgiven anymore, if we release him now, there's still a chance of him being scared and not buying slaves anymore, but then he would leak out our gun usage, and that's not very desirable.
So, currently, the team is interrogating him to get more information. None of us three knows how to interrogate, so we're just sitting outside the room, waiting.
After a lot of screaming inside the room, the door opens, and Adam, who has blood splattered all over his clothes comes out.
''How is it?'' Isabella asks calmly.
''He has spilled everything, now he's begging to be killed.''
''If he got nothing else to say, then just kill him.''
''Yeah.''
''Now, let's go and talk about the information first.''
Sitting in the meeting room with Adam and Isabella, we are discussing what the Marquis said.
''A Duke, huh...'' Liana frowns.
''It will be annoying for sure, the opponent himself is a Swordmaster after all.'' Isabella says with a sigh.
''...Hmm...''
So apparently a freaking Duke is a big fan of collecting slaves, he's been doing it with the Marquis for a while now. And according to the late Marquis, he's even worse than himself.
We can't just leave this man alone. But he's a 2-star Swordmaster. If the three of us gang up on him, then we could win somehow, but he also has a lot of bodyguards... This is annoying.
''Any idea, Sylvia?'' Liana asks.
''How about... I snipe him from a distance while he's sleeping?''
''That... Could work, actually, then we'll only need to worry about the ones guarding the slaves.'' Isabella ponders.
''Hmm, how about this-
In the end, we decided to do a raid after a few more days, mainly because we didn't have much information about our opponent. We need to verify what the late guy said first.
The core of the plan is for me to use the Hecate II to snipe the Duke while he's sleeping, hopefully killing him in one shot, and then the team will go in and rescue the slaves.
Once we remove the only real threat which is the Swordmaster, Liana, and Emy can take care of the rest, I will provide long-range support after that as well.
But for now, we have a few days to rest.
Going back to our room, we take a bath together, then we have dinner, and very rarely, we just sleep peacefully like normal people, instead of doing the exercise.
The next day, however, Emy and Liana wake up with two huge boners, so I have to take care of them before going to the academy.
We're still wearing T-shirts today, just different colors, all to make a statement about the academy's terrible uniform.
Opening the door to the classroom, this time we're not late anymore, but the classroom is still the same as the first day.
We walk to our seats like normal and greet Christina, who's been there before us.
''What were you guys doing yesterday?'' She asks curiously.
Hmm, I have to come up with an excuse here, can't just say I killed one of your nobles.
When I'm about to spit out some random bullshit, Liana comes behind me and pushes me towards Christina, my breasts almost touching Christina's face, who is still sitting.
''What?'' I turn around, confused.
''H-Huh?'' Christina is the same as me, it seems.
Liana looks around a bit, then proceeds to grab the collar of my white T-shirt and pull them down all the way until almost all of my breasts are visible, only the lower half of them covered by the bra, revealing the numerous bite marks and hickeys on the upper side.
Both of our eyes widen at the same time, I hastily pull the collar up and glare at Liana.
''Heh.''
She gives me a wink while smiling.
''...I will remember this.'' I tell Liana, to which her face turns blue almost immediately.
Christina seems dumbfounded, after a bit, her window successfully rebooted, and now she's very pissed, it seems.
''...Well played, Raeliana, you got me this time.'' Christina says, veins appearing on her forehead, her eyes burning.
This is not good, I can't have them fight like this, Liana is going to continue bullying Christina.
I walk closer to Christina, then use my arms to pull her face towards my chest, effectively burying her face in my breasts, my right hand stroking her head. She loved this the last time, so I hope this can appeal to her just a bit.
''...''
Christina keeps silent for a while, then she hooks her arms around my waist to hug me tighter.
Phew... I dodged a bullet there, maybe I should do this the next time she gets ma-
Ouch! Why are you biting me?!
I hurriedly release my hands from her head, but she doesn't let me go and continues to bite my breasts for a while. Liana is just chuckling from the side, while Emy is eating some egg tarts that I don't remember seeing earlier while looking at us.
I had to put a sound barrier around us to prevent my voice from escaping, this girl is so bold!
''Mgm...''
Finally, after 2 minutes, she releases her hands, now our faces are a bit flushed, but at least she seems to have cooled down.
I use wind magic to dry my T-shirt and look at Christina in her eyes. ''Please don't do this again, we're in class.''
''So that means I can do it in private?'' She replies, smiling dangerously.
Why do I always feel like this when she's doing that face...
''N-No, not... Yet.''
DING
''Ah! It seems like the class has started.'' I run back to my seat.
That was dangerous.
