I am Teppei, a very ordinary member of the Rebel Army.

Before, because my strength was insufficient, I was always responsible for logistical work in the Rebel Army. Some time ago, Sangonomiya-sama specifically gave me the opportunity to go to the battlefield and kill enemies.

That’s great! As long as I go to the battlefield, I can gain military merits. As long as I gain military merits, I can become a captain, have my own squad, wear my own uniform, and then I can make a name for myself.

But... my strength is not enough. No matter how hard I train, I can’t improve further, and I can’t deal with the Shogunate soldiers.

I thought my life would be like this forever, but some time ago, I suddenly met a person wearing a mask. He asked me if I wanted to gain powerful strength, if I wanted to drive back the Shogunate soldiers.

Although this person was very suspicious, I still answered. He gave me something that looked quite suspicious. Through this thing, I actually gained the power to control elements. Using this power, I easily defeated the Shogunate soldiers I couldn’t face before.

This is great! This must be how those with a Vision feel. Although it’s a bit tiring, this small problem is nothing significant.

Because of my outstanding performance, Captain Gorou has noticed me, and Sangonomiya-sama has also noticed my performance.

If this continues, I will definitely become a captain, and my dream will definitely come true.

As I was preparing to deal with a few more Shogunate soldiers near Nazuchi Beach to achieve my dream, I was suddenly ambushed from behind. That person had no martial ethics and completely disregarded normal reasoning. It was too much!

When I reopened my eyes, I had been brought into a strange cave. The cave was very dark, with only a candle providing a little light.

I was tied to a pillar, and the device I used to exert power was also gone. I was completely a lamb to the slaughter.

"Oh, you’re awake. That was quite fast. I thought you’d sleep a bit longer."

Suddenly, a new light source appeared in front of him, and a very cute blonde Damselette appeared before him.

She was a girl whose beauty was completely on par with Sangonomiya Kokomi. Looking at this Damselette, Teppei’s brain couldn’t process any other information.

Suddenly, he noticed the table behind the girl was filled with all sorts of terrifying things. Those were blood-stained things like pliers. Could it be... could they be torture instruments?!

"You... who are you? What are you going to do to me?!"

"Oh my~ Don’t be so scared. When you act like this, you make me seem like a bad person. Don’t panic, I just want to chat with you and be friends."

Is this how a conversation should be conducted?! Untie me! You have no credibility at all like this!

Teppei struggled desperately, but the ropes on him were tied very firmly, and he couldn’t break free.

Watching Teppei’s movements, the Damselette sighed helplessly, picking up a pair of pliers from the nearby table.

"Honestly... I originally wanted to use gentle methods to get useful information from you. Since you’re so uncooperative, I can only resort to force."

"To be honest, this is my first time doing something like this, so I don’t have much experience. If I accidentally hurt you later, I apologize in advance."

The Damselette came in front of Teppei with the pliers, wanting to pry open his teeth, but Teppei, who was already prepared, clenched his jaw tightly, giving her no chance to open his mouth.
