The Branded Female Fencer

"(I wonder what it was... I shouted words I couldn't even understand... No, I definitely understood that moment. Should I not understand?)"

"Layer, are you listening?

"Yeah? Oh, I'm sorry. What was that?

Lunatica was astonished at the layers that weren't listening.

"How do I get home from here? How?"

"No, I'm not thinking about anything. Why are you here in the first place?

"I caught a layer that could fall because you drilled a big hole in the floor. I was desperate not to burn it on the melted floor, I had nowhere to grab it, and I had to fly."

"Well, I'm sorry about that. There's probably a way to get home, but it's a tragedy."

Layers were stunned with their hands on their hips. Whilst I was certain of what I did, the lower floors were almost untouched as far as I could see. Strangely, the lower floors of the building made some sense, and the equipment assumed from it would show you how to get back.

However, if the equipment is alive, it will be a story of.

"Anyway, I can't help being here. Let's move on. I want to find a place to go further underground, if possible."

"What's in there?

"The body of this ruin - I think it has a nucleus. If we get there, we'll figure it out."

"Roger that. So, what's that?

When Lunatica pointed to the sky, until earlier, the middle floor had been seen as a ceiling, but during that time, something like electricity blinked and the ceiling was not visible.

I also saw a membrane like water, but when the light touched it, the creatures that were swimming inside became stiff, and everything stopped moving.

Sounds like thunder.

"All the ceilings are lightning. And it looks like it's falling back."

"... no, it's falling back. Probably a self-cleaning effect on the ruins."

"Self-cleansing?

"Forcibly eliminate the intruder. But eliminating even the creatures in the ruins... may have damaged the ruins' nuclei."

"Damage?"

"... it must be my fault."

The layers seemed rough, but things didn't go so far. It became like a sea of lightning on one side, and it was clear that it was approaching gradually. I don't know when I'll get to the surface anymore.

"Luna, hurry up!

Got it!

"But that's not how it works ~"

A half-naked woman with blue hair appeared in front of the layer. She wore clothes that almost only hide locally, and when she saw Layer and Lunatica surprise, the woman appeared earlier.

"Don't say anything about your clothes! I didn't even plan on doing this!

"... an idiot?

"Chigaaa! I'm not ashamed to let you out because I'm confident in my body!

"The administrator of the ruins - no, no. Higher presence? But that's..."

Seeing the reaction of the layers, the woman smiled funny and with a deep smile.

"You're funny. Do you understand that reaction? No, I'm not sure, but I guess it's just instinct. I see, check who you are and then erase it. I see what the order means."

"Are you an enemy? Or..."

"I didn't want to be an enemy. I don't want to, but I've become an enemy. Originally, it was on the side of stopping the struggle. Maybe it came out by mistake. But I wonder if it's sad that I have to fight more than I have an order."

The female began to leak a lethal air. When the sensed layer and Lunatica stood up, the woman smiled happily.

"Atashi is Diena, the seventh apostle in charge of lunch, water and conciliation. Diena Arp will bring the law to justice. Resistance is pointless, at least die in peace!

"That's why it's so easy to die!

Layers slashed Raventin, but the thrust was stopped by the pressure. This is because Diena has unleashed an incredible amount of magic.
