The Girl Raised by the Death God Holds the Sword of Darkness in Her Arms - Volume 6 - Chapter SS2

A Sixth Day with Olivia and Claudia

The Turner Plains

It was the night before they were due to mount a surprise attack on Felix’s main camp with eight hundred elite, specially selected soldiers. Claudia finished her meal, then realized that Olivia was not beside her. She looked around, but the girl was nowhere in sight.

Where has she gone? We have an early start tomorrow. She asked some nearby soldiers, but they all replied that they had not seen her. Claudia was gripped by a bad feeling. What if she was still hungry and went hunting...? But no, that can’t possibly be it.

So she told herself, and yet Claudia’s feet naturally led her in the direction of the forest. Amused, she smiled to herself, when she caught sight of a person standing atop a tall, narrow rock.

She was about to call out, but immediately drew up short when she saw Olivia’s face. Her expression was unusually grave. As Claudia watched, Olivia began to throw out jabs and kicks into the empty air.

Martial arts practice...? she wondered at first. But Olivia’s movements only grew more intense, going far past the point of mere practice. It seemed to Claudia as though her fists and feet were moving in anticipation of someone—of Felix von Sieger.

I’ve never seen the general like this before. This Felix von Sieger must truly be something...

Claudia pictured Felix’s face, beautiful enough to satisfy any woman’s standards.

Hmph. Even Ashton could give him a run for his mon—wait, how did Ashton get brought into this?! She slapped herself on the cheeks, then returned her gaze to Olivia.

It’s incredible she can move like that with so little room to stand. The rock was only three paces across at its widest point. Any ordinary person would have been hard pressed just to stand up there. Only someone with a core of steel could pull off such a feat.

But then, this is the general we’re talking about. Tomorrow, she shall see me acquit myself with distinction. Her heart burning bright, Claudia left that place without speaking to Olivia.
