The Branded Female Fencer

How much time has elapsed. Lisa stood beside Alphilis when she noticed.

"Lisa..."

"What about Aerie?

"I'm tired of crying and sleeping."

Tired of crying on Alphilis' back, Aerial fell asleep as it was. Alphilis did coat her like that, but there's no sign of it happening at all. There was also no response at all to Lisa's proximity, which had not erased the signs. I wake up even if the featherworms just approached me. Aerial, but only now was it completely defenseless. I guess that meant I cried for the first time.

It was something that Miranda mumbled pretty hard when she cried in front of Alphilis before, but Alphilis thought it was something very different in the same way she cried. What about yourself?

"What are you thinking, Alfie"

"Yeah, kind of."

"... you must be quite tired too, go to sleep"

"Thanks... but I'm kind of not going to sleep..."

"Is it because that silly man is alive?

"! Lisa, are you listening to me..."

"No, it's just a reckoning. Wasn't he the one who would die if he killed something? I didn't think it would be a good idea if I heard you guys talking about Lisa, so I sealed my ability as a sensor. I thought it was over for a moment, but apparently it came up because Aerial was asleep."

"Yes..."

See how Alphilis looks at Aerial. She was asleep in tears. Lisa looked sad when she also checked on the condition.

"But as a realistic matter, if that man were to come after us, we'd have to get away from here, but we can't help it without Aerial. So at least sleep with me until she wakes up."

"Well... to be honest, considering when they caught me up, it's not even a Loc story..."

"If they catch up to you honestly, whatever you do, you'll be wiped out. It may not be the most likely."

"Why?"

"If you were going to kill us, you would kill us all on that spot. Speaking of which, you may be offended, but the man didn't even seem to be on his teeth except for Faranx. Will you come after a being that isn't enough to take, a man who moves by that instinct alone?"

"... that may be so,"

"And if Faranx gets that far, even if he's not dead, he might just not be able to move. So stay asleep. Of course I'm not sure, because if Lisa had a sentry, she'd have noticed it sooner."

"Okay. Then you're gonna come to bed sweet on words."

"Go ahead and take your time..."

Alphilis took Aerial back to a place where he could avoid the wind. Aerial never woke up when I woke her up.

Lisa shrugged, making sure the two had gone home.

"Oh, I said... honestly, I guess by the time I get hooked up with Lisa's sensors, I won't be able to get away with it anymore. To be honest, it's far beyond my imagination to have such a monster. Plus, as for Alphilis, anyway, Lisa is totally eyed by that disgusting boy. It's the same with Lisa who doesn't feel alive... Jake... you have to be beside a girl when this happens... come and protect Lisa soon..."

Lisa leaned down and stood on the rock, alone in a voice that no one could hear.

Looks like Alphilis woke up a little when he returned to everyone's place and put Aerial to sleep softly.

"Alfi..."

"What?

"Yeah, nothing..."

Alphilis responds with a smile and tries to get to his luggage location in an attempt to put down his sword, but lets Aerial pull that clothing away.

"Where are you going, Alfi..."

"I'm just gonna leave my stuff behind."

"No, don't go..."

"Even if they say that..."

"Please..."

Aerial is shaking his cataclysmic as he moisturizes his eyes. Aerial was an image of a strong woman for Alphilis, but it's not hard to imagine her being truly lonely, considering when she cried on the rocks earlier.

Alphilis thought he would surely not be able to leave now, and decided to sleep with his sword in the place. It doesn't change the difficulty of sleeping because I just laid a simple rug on the rock, albeit flat, but it seemed like I could sleep regardless of the intensity of sleep my body wanted.

Alphilis sighs one and falls asleep next to Aerial. And deliberately made it a bright tone.

"I can't help it. It's just for today, right?

"Yeah..."

"She's like a sister with a real hand."

"I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to apologize. Then let's sleep together."

"Yeah..."

So when Alphilis rolled over to the side, Aerial stuck to the side. The alphilis was a bit glowing, but Aerial is already resting and seems to be doing a lot more tranquilly than earlier. I was relieved by that, or Alpha Reese quickly fell into a deep sleep...

Aerial was dreaming.

Parents' dreams at first. I am back at an early age, with my real father, who doesn't even know his face, and my mother holding hands with me. Aerial was very happy being loved by two gentle people.

But suddenly two men were killed by the great beast that had attacked them, and they began to hate themselves and chase the beast. But even though I stood in front of the beast, my legs were dull and I couldn't move. I was frightened that such a beast would kill me too, but the beast did not kill me, and instead began to protect me.

Life with such a beast wasn't bad. Though the hate didn't disappear, I wasn't lonelier than I was when I was alone. It may have been a little different from happiness, but Aerial was getting peace of mind being protected by something big.

But once again happiness does not last long. The big beast was killed by an even bigger beast, and the frightened Aerial finally escaped the scene.

I was going to grow up and be strong myself, but I used to stay young. When they killed my real parents, nothing had changed.

Crying and fleeing. Ahead. Aerial now meets the girl. The girl wasn't as enveloping herself as she used to be, but she was big and warm, and yet she seemed lonely somewhere. That's why she realized. He said happiness is not something to be given, but something he protects.

Now it's time to protect and show this happiness. With my own hands - the figure of Aerial, so determined, was back to her original grown up.

When Aerial woke up, it was in Alphilis' arms there. Alphilis is resting quietly, but he also seems to be groaning at something. That voice is small, because of its whispering slumber, and you probably won't notice it unless you even sleep with Alphilis. When Aerial softly clears his ears,

"... why... everyone... avoid me..."

And there were tears in Alphilis' eyes. At that time, Aerial was relieved. Alphilis is usually sneery, and I thought he had a bright personality at the bottom and no worries, but Aerial was noticed that was a big mistake.

"(Yes, they're all fighting something... not just me! So now you protect my... my own loved ones. I'll take a weapon for that)"

In the eyes of Aerial, who thought so, strength was returning again.
