CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 39 - FORBIDDEN LUCK

The loud sound of gunfire woke everyone who was sleeping and made a bit of a commotion.

The duel between me and the Female Knight Captain had ended in a crushing victory and a perfect death for the Female Knight Captain.

With a win like this, I have secured some savings that I can use in the future and saved the inheritance from my parents, who are nobles more longer to use.

I didn’t expect to get such big savings in such a short time.

"That was quite an interesting duel, thank you for your time to witness this honorable duel," I said while observing the expressions of the female knights who were still completely naked.

Not knowing what was happening to them, their gazes were fixed on the corpse of the Female Knight Captain lying on the ground.

Tap...

Tap...

Kacling...

Kacling...

While the naked female knights were silent and staring at the corpse of the Female Knight Captain, Elaina immediately came and approached her Captain’s corpse.

"Excuse me, Captain, I will immediately dispose of your body that died honorably in this duel," said Elaina as she pulled her Captain’s body onto the emergency stretcher.

"Is there anyone who would like to help me?" Elaina asked, glancing at the other female knights who were relaxing and enjoying their breakfast after donning their heavy armor.

As Elaina said that, several female knights who were having breakfast vomited after seeing the condition of their Captain’s head, which was almost crushed and unrecognizable.

Luckily, I left her beautiful face for them to be recognize, and they understood the current situation.

Vomit...

Several naked female knights around me immediately vomited after their little brains processed what had happened before them. The loud vomit, which caused several other female knights to vomit as well, revealed the condition of the Female Knight Captain’s corpse, which had died with an abnormal facial deformity.

It was my fault, and I had to make sure that this duel didn’t enter the second stage of combat.

I sometimes get annoyed with fights that have multiple phases, for example, a first boss phase and a second boss phase that is stronger than the previous one.

Before that happens, it would be better if I prevent it from happening by ensuring her death through a hot kiss delivered by my 9mm caliber bullet.

Tap...

Tap...

"Hans, what actually just happened?"

"It’s still early in the morning... and you just killed a Female Knight Captain who was famous for her sexual harassment of weak male knights," said Doctor Portia while observing what was happening to me.

I, who was in the middle of a crowd of female knights who were still completely naked, let out a heavy breath on this bright morning.

"I don’t know, I just accepted the challenge of a duel to the death by betting everything, and by chance I won," I replied to Doctor Portia’s question.

"It wasn’t a fluke victory," Doctor Portia said quickly and glanced at the corpse of the Female Knight Captain.

"Yes, forget about the commotion that happened. I won, and that’s the reality of the situation right now. By the way, why are you and Yua Mikami in a place like this?" I replied, throwing a question at Doctor Portia.

"Just carrying out some tasks assigned to me as the refugee supervisor and bringing Yua Mikami as a witness to something I want to ask the Female Knight Captain," replied Doctor Portia while sighing and glancing at me.

"I don’t think, I’ll do that after seeing the evidence before my own eyes, and she’s already received quite a cruel karma for what she did in a refugee camp like this," Doctor Portia continued as she walked in front of me.

Tap...

Tap...

"Thanks for clearing this one up, Hans."

"You really helped me to discipline these female knights who acted so impudently."

Doctor Portia suddenly said something that made it difficult for me to understand.

"This woman has been in trouble for so long that none of her colleagues even mourns her death, huh?" I replied, trying to make sense of what was happening.

As far as I understand this matter, it is the Female Knight Captain who often holds a duel with each man with a certain bet, which is based on observations and short experiences that have just happened to me.

"Yes, she was so problematic, no one dared to stop her from carrying out a duel that seized the property owned by the refugees," said Doctor Portia, who gave a clue about what the Female Knight Captain had done.

"Ah, no wonder there are some men who laugh with satisfaction after seeing her dead," I replied while glancing at some commoners who were watching this unusual event. Among the commoners who saw her body, most of the men laughed after seeing the corpse of the Female Knight Captain.

Without me realizing it, I had just solved an important problem that was happening in this refugee camp.

I thought my act of executing a Female Knight Captain would get me into big trouble.

Honestly, I didn’t think about the impact of what I was doing, but now I look like an executor of Doctor Portia who was trying to solve the problem that was happening in the refugee area.

"Just leave it alone, they’re just satisfied after seeing a greedy and talented woman die a horrible death like this. I’ll have a hard time taking care of the cause of her death, though, may I list your name as the one who killed her in this honorable knightly duel?" asked Doctor Portia as if she was confirming something.

Nod...

"Go ahead, as long as you make sure I get all of her savings that will be used for her marriage," I replied, bowing my head.

"Marriage savings, my ass. How could a man want to marry a woman like her, even her colleagues are cursing her death," said Doctor Portia as she walked away in front of me.

I turned my head towards the corpse of the Female Knight Captain, who was being spat on by the female knights who were still completely naked.

"Take that, you bitch! Tch!" cursed one of the female knights, who seemed to have been suppressing her anger for a long time.

"You finally died with your usual tactics, slut!" grumbled another female knight who seemed to have a grudge against her.

Stomp!!

Buuggh!!

On the other foot, I also saw a woman who suddenly kicked the head of the Female Knight Captain until her beautiful face was damaged.

"Ooppss... I didn’t do that on purpose, please forgive me."

I just watched what was happening in silence.

Who knows what the Female Knight Captain has done?

It seems she has made quite a few enemies.

Tap...

Tap...

Elaina suddenly stood beside me after Doctor Portia took over the First Knight Captain’s body and take it away along with Yua Mikami.

Before Yua Mikami left with Doctor Portia and carried the emergency stretcher with the body on it, she smiled at me.

"So, what did your Captain do to deserve this much hatred?" I asked Elaina.

"Too many to mention," Elaina replied, glancing around at her surroundings.

"One of them is the prohibition of wearing armor inside the military tent area for any woman with smaller breasts than hers. For women who have larger breasts than hers, they need to wear heavy armor to cover them," continued Elaina, which made me understand this trivial matter.

"Just to show off her bigger breasts... she’d go to such a ridiculous rules?" I asked in disbelief.

"It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?" Elaina said, smiling softly at me.

"If the rules are too much, can’t you refuse them?"

"It’s not that easy to reject a rule imposed by a Captain. Especially in a territory where a Captain holds the ultimate command of a knight corps. Even Doctor Portia was just about to resolve this matter as the highest authority, right?" Elaina said, stroking her long hair to tie it back.

"If Doctor Portia had acted sooner before the duel began, my Captain would have been alive and her reign of pleasure would have ended," Elaina continued, tying her hair back with a hair band that looked worn like bandages.

Srrusshh...

Srrusshh...

"Well, I have to get back to work after this little problem is over," I said as I walked away, leaving Elaina, who was tying up her hair.

Graapp...

Before I could even walk away, my hand was suddenly held by a woman with medium-sized breasts.

"Wait a moment, please allow us to thank you after killing our idiot Captain," she said while holding me back from leaving the female knight’s military tent.

This was the first time I’d ever received a thank you after killing someone, even from a client who had given me an assassination mission. This rare gratitude seemed like a fluke.

Killing someone problematic isn’t just a lucky coincidence for me, who rarely has this kind of luck.

"No need, I need to get ready for work. Moreover, my boss is Doctor Portia herself. She is quite strict when it comes to discipline," I said while giving a good enough reason to refuse her offer.

Some of the other female knights who were still naked wanted to thank me, but with this answer I gave, they gave up their intention to thank me.

"Then, be sure to meet us at night. We’ll holding the dinner celebration of our idiot Captain’s death!" exclaimed the female knight in front of me.

I don’t know how much hatred they have for the Female Knight Captain, but it’s definitely a bad thing that her death is being celebrated like this.

Instead of mourning someone’s death, they rejoice over someone’s death.

I really don’t understand what is going on, actually.

Nod...

"Sure, I’ll see you girls tonight," I replied, nodding my head.

With this short answer, I left Elaina, who was smiling at me, and her hair was in a ponytail.

Swaaaa...

Swwaa...

By waving her hand, Elaina seemed to be seeing me off as I wanted to go to work and expected me to return to her military tent.

"How could they be happy and celebrate at someone’s death?" I muttered in a small voice about this.

Tap...

Tap...

My footsteps immediately left the military tent area belonging to the female knight and walked towards the main building used by Doctor Portia.

I, who wanted to discuss important matters with Elaina, had to face the challenge of a duel first.

My original intention was to persuade Elaina to remain neutral in the upcoming political power struggle. However, that was put on hold after this minor incident.

Deathly duels that result in casualties seem to be spreading in this refugee area.

"Again and again..."

"This is going to be a tiring day."
