The Branded Female Fencer

Time goes back a few days.

"So, where do I take these elves?

"Come on, let's just go for the tree with the red string on it."

"Like, you've been walking for, like, three minutes now? The sun is passing by."

"Besides, aren't we headed to the heart of the woods?

Men in armor walking through the woods speak out of dissatisfaction.

"Don't bother, the strings are getting shorter by the step. You're almost there."

"Why is it red? It's hard to see."

"Do I know?"

I momentarily tried to get rid of the man leading the way, but he immediately gets into an argument.

"Don't fight. You can go home when you deliver the elves. I don't even have to look at that asshole prince's face."

"Well, let's just say we're SS, shall we?

"It's like it's decided by the lottery. A first prince or a second prince would have been nice. That asshole prince was dealt with in court, right?"

"That's why you must be desperate. Let's give it some credit."

As the soldiers spit, they whine about being themselves to be attached to it. Another man slapped the man on the shoulder.

"You won't be able to take that nap. It's better if Walla's still stuck. I don't know who you're dealing with this time."

"Aren't you an example aristocrat? Look, he said he's been around lately."

"Uh, the one who's been assistant prime minister in the last two years or so? But why be nice to that asshole prince when he comes out there again?

"I don't know. But you're kind to everyone, not just that asshole, right? Don't get me to speak up too often. He doesn't have to feel good."

"You're noble, but rare."

A group of soldiers proceeding through the Darkas Forest, talking eventually. Would there be about 50 of them all? After they stormed the Seeker Forest, they are on their way to where they were instructed to take the surviving Seeker. The elves are all tied behind their backs and whispered. Even the Seeker can't help but be sealed with a hand that joins the chant and the mark of sorcery. Arm strength is originally as weak as a human being, and a human soldier who is working out would be considerably stronger. Each of them had been taken by the soldiers, distorting their faces to very thoughtless thoughts.

"Not yet."

"No, the strings are already pretty short..."

Even though the leading soldier who was checking the strings did nothing, the strings loosened up. The movement of the soldiers watching it stands still for a moment. And, accidentally, they were called out.

"... you're finally here..."

Soldiers turn to voices. There stood a child about 10 years old. He has dark hair and is a pretty boy quite neat. I just feel scarce on the look on my face and very cold. When did you show up here? But the child slowly walks up to them, questioning the soldiers.

"Hey, kid. What are you doing here?

"No way, you're taking the elves?

But without answering the soldier's question at all, the child began to set the rules for the Seekers. The soldiers just have to watch how it goes.

"... sure seeker... good quality... this would..."

"Hey, kid! Answer our questions."

One of the soldiers grabs the child's shoulder. but

"Is that it?"

The soldier could not understand the sight in front of him. My own hands are passing through my child's body, no, it just seems buried. Soldiers don't have any pain or anything, but they try to pull it out for now, but they're not scared. On the contrary, my own hands sink towards my child.

"Oh, hey! What's going on, this"

"Hey, guys. Pull Zam's body!

"All right!

The soldiers pull the body of a soldier called Zam because of a few of them, but they can't pull it back at all. On the contrary, it sinks more and more.

"Hey, what the hell?

"Hey kid! Stop it!

"Damn!

One of the decadent soldiers finally stabbed the child's body with a spear. but even though the spear is piercing the boy's chest, he doesn't look like he moved at all. And strangely, there's not even blood coming out of the wound. On the contrary, he keeps looking for the Seeker while dragging the soldier.

"... yeah, it's passed... you'd think so too, wouldn't you?

"Isn't that nice? It's full of beauties, and I think I'll enjoy it."

"... you're always about women..."

Out of nowhere, another child showed up. About the same age in appearance. I still have black hair this time, but this one is a boy whose expression moves a lot. This one has a pleasant appearance. A silent child and, if you do, a child with a light tone. As if there were no soldiers around, the two are behaving on their own.

"You're gonna give me about one, right?

"... you'll never know unless you try that..."

"Well, if I suck, I lose my job?

"... I'll treat you right so you don't..."

"What if not one of them really came around?

"... then I'll give you a hand with your next job..."

"Oh, that's good. So, what about the rest of these guys?

"... I forgot..."

"Terrible. Already one, almost buried in you?

"... I don't care..."

Apparently the silent child was completely blinded to the presence of the soldiers. In the meantime, more and more soldiers called Zam are buried. Some pulled their hands to help Zam, some stabbed spears at the boy, but the boy doesn't look as if he cares if he gets stabbed in the head.

"Ha, help...!

And finally, Zam's head buried. Zam was imperative, but the situation did not improve at all, as if in a bottomless swamp. I hadn't heard a voice since my head was buried, but I knew perfectly well that I was desperate to hold back until all that body sank. From along the way the soldiers around them were stunned by this sight and simply watched. The Seekers are also opening their eyes to the remaining distant sights. Feeling dangerous as soon as possible, the Seekers were desperate to sue the soldiers while they sealed their mouths to free themselves, but the soldiers were nowhere near hearing their complaints at their own expense.

As all those people lose their words and quiet back, the brighter boy is happily speaking to the quieter boy.

"If you don't care, I'll take these people, okay?

"... if you like..."

"Yay. ♪ Well, how dare you... what do you guys want to do?

A curly looking child looks around to peek into the faces of the soldiers. Everyone's understanding did not keep up with the rest of the anomalous situation, but one of them returns to me all the time and opens his mouth to try to argue.

"Just kidding..."

But the soldier never argued permanently. Because when the child put his hands together, with the dull sound of cockroach, his neck suddenly turned 180 degrees opposite in the middle of the word.

"Uh, no, no! I won't admit any questions -!

Seeking opinions from myself, what an unscrupulous response. But only the boy is bright and behaving lightly. And thinking of the soldiers going bright blue twisting their heads in their asses for a while, they pounded and slapped their hands as if they had come up with something.

"Hmm, it's just not funny to kill them all... so why don't we have you guys kill each other until you're one of the last? But I'll keep the last one alive. Well, there's hope for this, right?

"Nah..."

Everyone breathes. The child in front of him said something outrageous, "Let's pee!?" That's what I said. Soldiers don't even speak in too many situations. but some of them are starting to twitch and lag behind, and one finally says, "Wow! I escaped the scene with the voice," No, I tried to escape. but with the sound of goku, the soldier also followed the same end road as the earlier soldier.

"Hmm, that's no good either! I won't even admit to running away ~!

The child is making a batten with his hands and shaking his neck to the side. Finally, the spirit stopped following the anomaly, and there came out among the soldiers a man sitting on the spot snagging. Seeing how it goes, the child is really looking fun and nicotine.

"Well, I think it's time to start, but are you guys ready? Anyone who has an opinion on this game will only accept questions now! 10, 9, 0 because it's so annoying!... but nobody seems to have any questions. Then the next time I slap my hand, I'll start the game, but I'm bored if I don't play the game for real, so I'll ask the unmotivated to leave without question. Like this!

And the limbs of one of the soldiers who was hanging around began to twist.

"Ghaaaa!

Soldiers desperate with screaming and the unpleasant sound of bone crushing. When I saw how it was, the soldiers started screaming. I am in a state of panic.

"Whoa, whoa!

"Help me!

"Yes, I don't like it."

"Uh, shut up! Quiet!"

Several more twist and die. When you see it, you realize you're not even allowed to make a scene, the soldiers get perfectly quiet and wait for the child's next statement. The child's voice emitted in it plays a rhythm that echoes directly into the heads of the soldiers. Can I describe you as innocent but dark, bright but deep? Its voice color has strange compulsions and temptations.

"It's okay, because it would help if I killed a friend standing next door. Isn't that easy? So, guys, are you ready?

Using that voice as a signal, the eyes of the soldiers who were clouded by fear began to run bloody. They no longer have a choice. And everyone started pulling out swords because one person pulled them out, turning to the same SS buddies who had previously spoken of stupidity.

"No, I'm impressed with all of them! Then, hey... pan!

As the child slapped his hand, the woods surrounded him with a whirlpool of snorts. The Seekers watched each other play a serious killing, more tragic sight than that war, where blood splashes fly. No. Instead, for some reason, I can't get my eyes off earlier. On the contrary, I couldn't even close my eyes. That's also what the bright boy set up again, but it doesn't change the situation when they figure it out.

And a while later. One soldier survived in the woods filled with red everywhere. He stabs his sword to the ground, supports it and breathes on his shoulders without words. The child is clapping with a pussy when he sees how it goes.

"No, congratulations. You are the winner! Do you have any thoughts?

But the soldier is just chattering and trembling, not in such a state that he can utter words. Instead, I can say I haven't been crazy a lot. Maybe he doesn't even understand what he did. But it was only from now on that he would really have nightmares.

"Well, you're so happy you're speechless, aren't you? I knew I was glad I let you live... Oh, yeah! I have to reward you!

The kid's a pussy! And when I ring my fingers, I start to hear things like whispers from around me. Apparently, your voice is slowly getting louder.

"I knew I had to be with friends. I'm kind to you, so you can stay with me forever."

At first everyone on the spot could not grasp the meaning of the words, but when they began to hear the whispers around them clearly, they understood the meaning. No, maybe I shouldn't have understood it from the results. And the stirring gradually makes a clear sense.

(How did you kill...)

(I've adored you since you were a new American...)

(Aren't we in sync... we went through so much hard training together...)

(How did you kill me? Senior...)

(Where am I? What happened to me...?

"Hi..."

"How did you make sure you could hear your dead friends? They'll be beside you for the rest of your life, so now you don't miss them anymore!?

(I was planning on getting married when I got home...)

(Sorry, Dad, I can't go home...)

(How could you do this...)

(You! How dare you! I will kill you, I will kill you!!

(I don't like one...)

(You come here too...!

"Wow, wow!

And finally, the surviving soldier also let go of his sanity. And it's the blood around me. When I think the whole thing has moved, I slowly take in that soldier. And it sank straight to the ground... and later it didn't even leave a trace of blood. The boy at the time who set up that extra mundane ending looks like he's having a good time. In contrast, the quiet boy looked at the sight as if he were frightened.

"... interesting...?

"No, that's funny! Because wherever you do it, the human reaction is the same, and it breaks fast! Not at all, a brittle species."

"... then don't you get bored...?

"It's not, it's the same, but it's slightly different. I enjoy considering why that difference can happen!

"... you're not even considering it anyway..."

"Ha ha! Are you broken?

The other boy didn't seem to be interested in this again. The Seekers, who watched the sight and the interaction, went too far through disgust and hatred and no longer just trembled with the clatter. Many of them have already passed out. Looking back at those seekers, the boy began to speak brightly.

"Uh, I'm sorry. You surprised me, didn't you? But don't worry, it's your turn next. I knew these things were in order, right?

Hearing that line no longer even gives the Seekers the strength to escape. He shook his neck sideways with tears in his eyes and only begged for help. But ignoring those seekers, the boy goes on.

"And you don't have to pity them, do you? I can't keep up with that silent taste of him. I think what's going to happen to you guys right now is that the sight is so incredible that it looks like child deception, right? Well I'm actually a child!! Either way, he doesn't recognize you guys alive or he has feelings. Expect it the next time you wake up. Have a nice nightmare then. Ahahahahahaha..."

There was no way to worry about the seekers trying to utter a voiceless word, and all the seekers fell asleep when the children put their hands on them. No one has seen them since.
