The Branded Female Fencer

And right after Alpha Reese was compromised...

"Damn it, let go!

"No! You don't even know where he went, do you?

"You know what! You take all the swamp, I'll smash that snake to death!

"Please calm down, Miranda. I can't do that!

"Can this stay calm, let go!!

Lisa and Aerial desperately stop Miranda trying to fly out of Fairtoose's address to find Alphilis. Fairtoose came home there.

"Shut up, what do you got in the middle of the night?

"Fair! Where the hell have you been?!?

"Don't ask the lady such wild things."

"I'm not kidding!

Miranda shakes it off with Lisa and Aerial and eats it into Fairtooth.

"Alphilis has been exposed to snakes, right?

"Oh, that's what I asked Serpent for. I don't know what to do here."

"What!?

Miranda grabs Fairtoose's chest.

"You're telling me you fed Alphilis?

"So I'm telling you it's not... damn, listen to people!

Miranda let go of the shock of running on her arm as a hazy fairtooth pinched Miranda's elbow bump.

"Yikes!"

"Oh, my God. This is Baba, so I'm gonna need a little help."

"Not if you're talking about it!

"Ha. But seeing as how you can be angry for someone else, did you grow up a little bit? Compared to when I was just snuggling up on that Ode kid."

"Now what..."

Miranda was also suddenly given the name of her old lover, a little frightened. Miranda also has a broken heart.

"You don't have to worry, that girl has Sarpent taking care of her exactly. If you can't, there's nothing you can do about it anywhere in the world. At least we don't have time for that now."

"What do you mean?

"That girl is in the mountains tonight. If that evil doesn't go away by the end of the night, that girl will be taken over by the curse. That's why I took a slightly more forceful approach."

"What?

Miranda was surprised by this. Because I didn't think it was that serious.

"Rather, it's close to a miracle that that girl is keeping her sane with all that stuff. I guess that girl is extra self-contained. And I guess I really cared about you guys. Otherwise, half the play will be killed. Most importantly, because my original personality is particularly gentle, I guess I only had a certain degree of personality change even when I was exposed to so much evil."

"To that extent."

"To that extent. Did that girl kill any of her people?

"I don't have that... but I'm trying to burn the woods"

"That might be the right decision in a way. As you may have noticed, this forest is not normal. Sometimes I don't want to be involved with the world because I live here for a good reason. This is a land prone to evil and resentment. It hasn't affected me very much because I look around regularly, but otherwise it would be the soil of the outfit that will produce the Demon King. Because the tiny Arnelian Church doesn't seem to realize the importance of this place either. Maybe I can't get around to it even if I'm aware of it. Well, you're not going to like this land. So it's really one way to cook and refresh once. Extraordinarily forceful though. That girl must have figured that out by instinct. Or sure."

"Sure?"

Lisa asked. Surely there are many strange things about Alphilis. It's called noticing the arrival of every single one of them, when the swamps attacked them. Sometimes it's quicker to notice than Lisa, whose abilities have risen.

"Oh, maybe she's listening directly to the Spirit."

"The voice of the Spirit?

"That's right. If you're witches or each other, you'll hear the spirits you signed up for, and what about the aerials there?

"That's for sure"

Aerial nods. With that ability, Aerial learned more about Faranx's death. Wintier told me this and I realized that Aerial is in a contract with the Spirits of the Wind. So you can read the wind flow in detail, or you can know what's going on in a remote place through the Spirit of the Wind. Most of all, you can't be all-powerful, you can't know when you want to know what you want to know. It also depends on the whims of the Spirit and the number of spirits present on the spot. In fact, in this swamp, I don't hear any wind spirits at all.

Still Fairtoose goes on.

"And perhaps that girl even hears the voice of the Spirit of the Elephant, besides the Five Rows and the Holy, the Dark"

"... is that possible?

"You have the real thing right in front of you. But at least as far as I know, there's never been such a precedent. So I don't know what that means, and I can't even think about it. So I'm imagining this."

Fairtoose puts it between once.

"If you can hear all the spirits... that's unbearable pain. I don't mind the spirits talking about this situation. Think about hearing voices like that during 46: 00? You're definitely going to freak out."

"Ugh."

"Unless you have the right guide beside you. But there can't be that in that kid with no precedent, and you can't do that to the bonkers at the Magic Church. It would have been a little better if I had, but what were those bonkers doing?

"Come on..."

"Damn, this has to set up a tight moxibustion once? The head of the church would be a Tetrastine boy if he hadn't changed, but he'd still listen to us. Anyway, if you want to protect that girl, you have to protect her for a long time. What the hell will happen to that kid and what impact will it have on his surroundings? At least until it's clear."

"You don't have to tell me."

Miranda answers quickly. When I look into those eyes, Fairtoose snorts back to see if she was satisfied at all.

"Miranda's face became somewhat better. I knew time would pass. But keep a good watch on your men."

"? What do you mean?

"Rana!"

Larna, who was called, brings a maple bound with rope. It looks like you've just been rolled with rope easily, but I guess it's not normal because it's a witch restraint. Also to seal the devil's eye, or there is a blindfold in his eyes depicting some spell.

"Maple! What the hell are you?

"Speaking of which, if you think you didn't see him until the end yesterday either..."

"I was going to slash her in the neck."

Fairtoose describes the facts of the rush and shock.

"In fact, when that girl blew up Miranda, this girl was just before she pulled out her knife and jumped. I realized that. I took him into custody as soon as I could. At first, I thought it was the enemy, but I didn't think you guys would notice. Probably one of those things I heard, so I took him into custody just in case I read a few memories, and he gave me orders not to hate Miranda as a guard and slaughter and dump other people if I had to."

"Become..."

When I heard that, Miranda's face blued all at once. I knew the mouthless ruthlessness of listening, but I didn't expect to do that much.

When Miranda grabbed close to Maple, she turned her face towards herself and inquired.

"Answer me honestly, Maple. Who gave that order?

"... I can't answer you"

"I see, the supreme bishop (Miriazal)"

Miranda gives a complicated look. Miranda had somewhat imagined what Miriazal might do. But I didn't expect you to make it this far. Of course, it was a dangerous occasion, but Miranda wonders if she could give a slightly more accommodating order to listen.

Shaking off such thoughts, Miranda further asks Maple.

"Then I just need something that doesn't violate orders, so I want you to answer me. You don't have to answer unanswered questions."

"Yes."

"What's the next highest security priority for Atashi?

"Lisa, it's the order of which, the alphilis, the others"

"How did you hide from Atashi without permission?

"I decided it would be best to do so. I didn't receive any instructions from Miranda on the matter until I made what I thought was best for me."

"Is it true you tried to kill Alphilis?

"Yes."

"Why?

"All those who harm Master Miranda are ordered to be killed. Exceptions are not explained to the exclusion of fellow travelers there. Therefore, Lord Alphilis was also found to be the target of the murder."

"Yes..."

Miranda shut up. This isn't a bad maple. Perhaps Miriazal is also another event of unanticipated scope. It's something that even the real people don't imagine, such as Alphilis and Miranda fighting. Maple just faithfully executed the order. And Miranda was in pain that she was responsible for not having enough discussions with Maple. Instead, it just hasn't mattered, maybe it was a miracle.

This is the kind of group that has no mouth. I was listening, but the recognition was sweet. This is a matter of Miranda's alarm. It was troublesome and avoiding things like mentoring juniors and those around them.

"Then I'll ask you more questions. I wonder if you're willing to listen to my orders on this occasion."

"Yes, we have been instructed at the scene to obey Miranda's orders. However, I have been ordered to give your personality the highest priority in times of fire, so I was wondering if Miranda might be able to take orders in this regard."

"Okay. Then I command the maple."

Miranda didn't like the original order or what happened when she said that. I don't like to make people obey. But I couldn't even say that anymore.

"Stop escorting me from the shadows. If you want to escort me, be square. We're traveling companions. Sleep with us and treat us equally normally. And when you move without a mouth, ask me first. I won't tolerate unsolicited behavior."

"Yes, but then..."

"If you want advance instructions on what to do in case of a fire, meet with Atashi in advance, assuming every situation. The Atassis are doing the same, and that is the duty of those who travel together. I won't let you do anything you don't know. Whatever the others, whatever the supreme bishop, that's how Atassi does it. This is an order."

"Okay. If it's an order, we'll make sure it's done."

"The truth is..."

Miranda looks sad for a moment.

"I really don't want Maple to do this either. I only want you to act that way when you think Atashi is someone worthy of protection. Because Atashi doesn't like someone getting hurt to protect herself..."

"Dear Miranda..."

Maple didn't know what to say and lost the word. I've done some work on orders before, but I've never seen anyone say anything like this before. We're abandoned pawns. That's what I was thinking, but Maple found out that this protective target in front of me apparently wants to treat the mouthless as human beings as well.

"(Strange guy. But even without a mouth, I feel like I know this one is more popular)"

That's a word Maple should never say. But in my heart, I was getting good at its popularity.

"Well, we seem to have discussed it, and we should head to the swamp exit."

Have you decided that the conversation is over with the silence of the two, or Fairtoose urges everyone to leave.

"At the exit?

"Right. That's where we're going to meet up with Alpha Reese. I wish things were going best. But you'll have to believe it, won't you?

"Yeah, you're right... oh, but I have one serious concern"

"What?

Miranda told me about Lifeless. Maybe he'll come after us. I hear that story, a little roaring fair-tooth, but eventually I turn up the table as I'm ready.

"This is... I don't know the tide, either. Fine. I'll get rid of this place."

"What, why?

"I was going to go to the Magic Church, and if I do, I need to get ready. I mean, I can't live in peace here forever."

Hearing that word, Miranda looks sorry. Fairtoose saw the look on Miranda's face and gently slapped her shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. Everything's shifting, and I'm getting around to it. Even you, the immortal, change your mind."

"Hmm... if you say so, you'll be saved"

"When we get out of the swamp, let's start the magic of metastasis near the nearest town. That would be somewhat difficult to find. That's about all I can do."

"No, it's enough. I appreciate it."

Miranda holds Fairtoose's hand and conveys her gratitude.

"If you're grateful, I'd appreciate it if you could ask me for two."

Miranda slapped her neck, but Fairtoose had a slightly mean grin.
