I Confessed to the crosssdresser

Chapter 37

"Bree! Don't get swept away!"

Leto immediately pointed out when I became agitated.

"You think that's all? Children of nobles will face issues with succession.

If something goes wrong, you might get completely kicked out of the family. I've seen some kids get kicked out for causing trouble."

"...What did you say?"

"That's what I was like, actually."

"I-Is that true?"

Leto's eyes were moving anxiously as if I wasn't the only one who was being swept away.

At this rate, I'll be defeated solely by the woman's words before I could even land an attack.

"It's no use! If we end up dead, why would we even care about succession or getting a job?"

"R-Right!"

Leto, who quickly came to his senses at my words, shouted.

"Then, how about this?"

What else was she trying to say?

"If you attack, we'll blow up this train. Sorry, but this train already has several explosive devices installed.

One simple spell and the train goes boom. Won't that mean that you and everyone on this train dies?"

"......."

What should I do now? Even if we remained still, the enemies were not the type to easily let go of their hostages.

However, the risk was too great to attack. It was a matter of whether to die first or die later.

"Raise your hands and get on your knees. Use magic and you know very well how fast I'll detonate this train."

We had no choice but to obey her words. After putting our hands up and leaning against the wall, we bent our knees one by one and glared at the enemies.

They watched us obliged and held out their swords. It was clear that if we moved even one of our fingertips, we would be cut. As the tide turned, the enemies went back to their respective positions and examined the situation.

Looking through the window, I noticed that the train had escaped through the long forest.

If you go a little further, there will be a village with a train station. The train station was also the perfect place to cause a lot of casualties.

It was only a matter of time before the bomb exploded. Maybe this train will explode in a minute.

"......I'm sorry. I asked you guys to come here for nothing."

"So what if you glare at me? You can't do anything anyway."

The man even made a mockery of us.

"Don't provoke them too much. They are poor children who will die soon."

The woman approached and tapped the man on the shoulder.

The train got faster.

"We're approaching the village."

The woman said. It was where the fate of this train was decided. No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't think of a way to escape from this train with all the hostages saved.

Even if we survived, it was only us who could use magic, so the hostages would certainly die.

Should we simply survive or save the hostages? It was a time of choice.
