Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Selection (1)

“I’ll draw a card now~”

In the break room of Freyhem, a game was in full swing.

“Aaaaaaaand… Oh! I pulled out the Binding Sword.”

They were playing a psychological card game in which five knights, two specters, one wizard, and one duke were selected out of 9 players. The knights would need to search for the specters, and the specters needed to kill everyone.

It was the popular ‘Specters and Knights.’

“Whose heart should I put the binding sword…”

Cindy, a subordinate, swung the round table. Julie remained calm.

In fact, from the moment Cindy pulled out the binding sword, her heart was already pounding.

“Ma’am?”

“What?”

“You’re a specter, aren’t you?”

Cindy leaned towards Julie, outright expressing her suspicion.

Julie placed both of her hands neatly on her lap, then shook her head.

“No.”

“I think you are. Look at you. You really don’t know how to lie, ma’am.”

“What do you mean?”

“Since we said on the previous game that the change in your facial expression is too obvious, you are forcing yourself not to make any facial expressions.”

Julie inflated her cheeks, pretending to be upset.

“Now you’re making a forced expression.”

“… I’m not.”

“I’ll use the Binding Sword on you, then.”

“You’ll regret it. I am a knight.”

“Hmm… Now I’m having doubts with you talking like this.”

Cindy pretended to be worried.

Julie wondered if that was a real concern, but it was also a joke.

“Yes. I will accept it.”

“…”

When mana was injected into the card, it glowed. A small blue knife came up and swung at the card in front of Julie.

Whoosh—

Her ghost escaped.

“Look at this. She can’t lie at all.”

“… This game’s hard.”
