Editing Apocalypse Witch:Volume4 Chapter3 (section)

===Part 10===

Several explosions rang out in quick succession. The flurry of long-distance magic from Matsuda Imi struck Kildna and slammed her against the outdoor café’s metal wall. She slid to the floor, apparently unconscious. That just left one. Machibula Delphi continued running all on her own, but it was only a matter of time before Karuta caught up to her.

“…”

Letnahe Kurent sighed after dealing with the slaves and catching up. She toyed with some thick zip ties and used one to bind the last defeated black dress girl’s arms behind her back.

“Hee…hee hee.”

She heard laughter from the girl whose arms she had bound to the metal pipe of a parasol that was bolted to the floor.

That girl was Kildna, the collared and chained slave in a black dress.

Letnahe sighed again.

“Are you still not done resisting? As a professional fighter, surely you know ending a fight without killing your opponent is a lot harder than just killing them. You have no chance of turning this around.”

“You don’t understand. I was counting on this. Now I can finally break free of the infuriating hand holding me down.”

“What?”

“My name is ''Kildna Delphi.''”

Utagai Karuta had pictured their world as including the emperor and the slaves.

But an outsider like him had not considered the implications of that as much as someone who lived it.

“I was the older sister!! All of that rightly belonged to me! And yet…and yet a match determined by no more than random chance shoved all the responsibility onto me and let her steal the position of priestess from me!!”

“…”

“Now Orpheus’s Orchestra can return to its rightful form.”

Letnahe Kurent wore a ring.

She was a mother of two.

Which was why this pained her so much to hear.

“The line of succession will be restored once Machibula is killed by the world’s strongest. No longer will that foolish girl treat her elder sister with such disrespect. I can’t erase the fact that she put me in chains and used me as her slave, but I can still reclaim my throne!!”
