章 4: Chapter 3 ~ Chloe Coldheart

A few hours later, Ryuto woke up as he saw an unfamiliar ceiling, "Huh... I don't recognize that ceiling..." He said as he chuckled softly. "That line was so overused..." He said under his breath. "Oh good, you've already woken up." Ryuto heard an unfamiliar voice near him, Ryuto moved his head to the side as he saw a lady with a voluptuous appearance. "You were so beaten up and you were covered with bruises and burns, I had to treat them for several hours or so... I'm no light witch so I can't heal wounds with magic so I had to use herbs and such." The lady explained as she placed a wet cloth on Ryuto's forehead. Ryuto sat up as he felt no heaviness on his wrists, he was shocked to see that the shackles on his wrists and feet are gone, "Oh those things? Those shackles are pretty busted so it's easy to remove them, and also I took care of the slave crest on your back." The lady said. "Slave crest...?" Ryuto questioned as he tilts his head to the side. The lady giggled a bit, "Aren't you a cute one?" She rubbed Ryuto's head. "Well anyways, you see a slave crest is like an applied curse to makes it to where you cannot defy your owner whatever the order is." The lady explained what a slave crest is. Ryuto nodded as he understood her, "If that's the case... Let me thank you, uh..." Ryuto stopped talking for a bit. "Oh my! Where are my manners? My name is Chloe, Chloe Coldheart, and I am the number 6 supreme witch in this world, I specialize in ice magic." Chloe introduced herself as a ball of ice formed on her palm, just to demonstrate her magic infront of Ryuto. "Ah! Yes! Thank you, miss Chloe!" Ryuto said with gratitude as he bowed his head. Chloe laughed a bit, "Just Chloe's fine you know?" She said as she sat down on a chair. Ryuto scratched his head for a bit, "Uhm... May I ask what a supreme witch is?" He asked. Chloe was surprised a bit as she let out a sigh. "You really don't know anything huh...?" Chloe said as she heard a grumbling noise, it was Ryuto's stomach. Chloe smiled and giggled a bit, "Let's talk while we eat supper shall we?" Chloe suggested as she stood up, "Oh that's right! I never got your name." She said as she looked back at Ryuto. "Oh! My name is Ryuto, Kazuki Ryuto!" Ryuto introduced himself as he bowed his head again. Chloe smiled, "Nice to meet you, Ryuto." She said as she went downstairs. Ryuto feels anxious a bit, but he was comfortable unlike his previous world, and memories suddenly appeared, the sight of the murder of his mother and sister infront of him without him unable to do anything. A stream of tears fell on his cheeks. "Sorry... Mother... Yuuki..." He said softly, feeling devastated.
