The Branded Female Fencer

"Two for each favor?

"Yes, two."

Fairtoose tells Miranda.

"First of all, while I'm away from here, I'd like you to lend me personnel to sanctify this land from the Arnelian Church instead. It's originally the work of the Arnelian Church, and the Arnelian Church gets the help of the marshers. That's not a bad story, is it?

"I don't have enough rights to authorize Atashi to do that, but I'll ask the Supreme Bishop. Well, that would be fine."

"Um. So, is the other one more difficult? I want you to keep this lana."

"Take this girl?

Miranda shows a little difficulty. Partly because I saw her face, Larna is a magical user of dark attributes. Can I easily draw such a person into my company? My personality does seem like an adult, but I've still met her for a day, and I can't communicate with her at all. Besides, this look would make it hard to take the whole town around.

"Um, I can't, but..."

"But I'm sure you need it for that girl, right? Because people who use the magic of restoring the dark system are very rare. I'm not even looking."

"That's for sure. I've only seen a few of them."

"This child will surely be able to stop that girl from progressing in her curse. I guess not for the water fairy there though. I'm not saying anything bad, I'll take you. Look, I'm asking you from Rana, too!

Larna moved forward when she was told, and bowed cutely and peppery. Are you still young to observe from this trick? Then again, that look is pitiful.

"Atashi's fine, but I'll have to ask Alfi too for now. I don't know, because she's the leader of Atashi and the others."

"Look, that's a good idea. Shall we all go to the swamp exit for now, then? Well, before you do, you're gonna have to get your stomach full."

That's how Fairtoose and Rana enter the house. Rouge didn't see where he went. Yesterday I followed you relatively close to this house.

But especially what Fairtoose says, so Miranda, Aerial and Maple follow. Uty and Lisa were the ones left.

"Uty, is healing magic any different with water and darkness?

Lisa asks Uty.

"Hmm? Not at all, rather than something, eh? Water restoration magic is fluid manipulation. Perform the manipulation of the liquid in your body. I can drain toxins, and I can make up for what I'm missing. Then the range of application is quite wide, so it is famous alongside the restorative magic of sacred attributes. In contrast, dark healing magic specializes in the removal of foreign objects such as curses and toxins. Nia's feeling better because of it."

Nia seemed fine with getting up already, and although she wasn't back in strength enough to stop Miranda, she did enough to keep an eye on things at the entrance. Seeing you holding onto your stomach, maybe you're already hungry. Although the left arm is still not in perfect condition, the arm is fixed. Yesterday's Fairtoose story was that we might be able to take the fixation in a week. To get back to normal completely, there are personal differences, but the beast man might be okay for a month.

"Hmm, that's quite different"

"Incidentally, the restorative magic of sacred attributes regenerates and revitalizes the body itself. Fire is rare, but I guess this also revitalizes the body. It should be particularly good at blood flow manipulation. The wind is close to water, but on the other hand, it works even if it is away, it works weakly. Soil increases resistance and resistance. I wonder if gold will make up for the missing part."

"You know more..."

"Of course, right? Because water fairies are inherently specialized in healing magic! Most of all, I am willing to do even more restorative magic, and I am studying a lot of things!

"Really, you were a water fairy"

"What did you think it was?

"I thought you were a pot fairy."

"Kee! Whose fault do you think that is!? Oh, here. Wait!"

Leaving alone the utility that happens alone, Lisa walks inside Fairtoose's house. Later, all I had to do was wish Alphilis well.

Alphilis and Serpent of the day, on the other hand. They were on Sarpent errands, stopping by.

"So, what's the errand?

"It's about Rouge."

"Rouge?"

"It's about the dragon zombie I fought for."

"Oh."

Alphilis seemed ill-decided. I've done terrible things, even though I was about to be taken over by the curse. But you notice how she is, Sarpent says a kind word.

"Don't get sick. I guess that would be the best way to give it back to ash, but I don't think so either. Besides, it's not like I already feel pain, so I can't even resent it. On the other hand, Fairtoose told me she even seemed to miss it."

"Zombies don't even miss me..."

While Alphilis thinks Miranda won't make fun of me again, it hurts my chest so bad that they'll treat me like they used to.

"So, how did that Rouge get there?

"That was in love with me my whole life"

Sarpent says a little sad.

"Rouge has been a fire dragon since he was born. Well, when Rouge was a little girl, he helped me drown when I was coming to the ocean for fun, but he totally missed me. I lived in the ocean at the time, so it was quite a distance away, but when I got back to the ravine, they were always waiting for me. I told him to go back to Broome Volcano, and I didn't go back many times. Sometimes he seemed to be home, but still spent most of it with my twist"

"The connection between the fire dragon and the sea dragon, it's not even a joke. Fire dragons can swim more or less, and I spend most of my life in the ocean. Life is too different. Besides, in true dragons and regular dragons, life expectancy is too different for anything. We live for thousands of years, but they're hundreds of years at best. Most people don't even speak the language. But Rouge grew up so beautiful, I honestly didn't feel bad because those dragons waited in silence every night with my twist."

"Bad dragon, you are"

Sarpent laughs bitterly at the words of Alphilis.

"There's no word to give back, you're right. But I shouldn't have. One day, the mermaids told me to get rid of the demons that were raging in the sea. I went to see how things were going for now, but I took an unexpected amount of time to figure it out. It's been months since I've been welcomed as a mermaid, and I haven't been back in a long time."

"Then what do you say, wasn't there a dying Rouge there? After all, the area of the sea dragon wasn't right, Rouge was suffering from the disease. I've tried to cure him somehow, but Rouge has begged me to stay by because he's about to have a lifespan. I got her last. But Rouge still had something untrained, and he became a zombie. It was hard to see a woman who fell in love with me gradually collapsing, even though she didn't do anything wrong."

"So in the swamp?

Sarpent shut up about the Alphilis inquiry, but eventually opens his mouth heavily.

"Well, that's not all... but I thought I'd give up Rouge if I changed my address. She followed me. Then again, though I'm usually at Fairtoose's, he always comes to see my face once every few days. That's where you'll always be without me. So I have to show you my face and reassure you."

"I see."

Sarpent shut it up for the last time. Alphilis won't say anything in silence again either. Heavy silence engulfed the two, but eventually the Sarpent came to the shore (by the banks) with beautiful water gushing. Rouge is standing there.

Rouge, they're here.

"Quououououououououo"

"I don't know how I can give your soul back to heaven today"

Sarpent stares at Rouge with a complex look. Rouge was already blind, but I could tell from the way it looked that he admired Sarpent so painfully, that Alphilis was also getting sad again.

You perceived the look on Alphilis's face like that, Rouge snuggles up on Alphilis. Honestly, being snuggled up by a rotten creature wasn't pleasant either as an alphilis, but I looked into Rouge's heart and answered his actions.

Surpent was the one who was surprised at how it went.

"You think a zombie caught in paranoia does anything other than paranoia? What the hell is this..."

But Alpha Reese starts talking to Rouge when he comes into contact with Rouge and he realizes something.

"What?

"Quououououo"

"Well, so..."

"Quoon"

"Yeah, okay. 'Cause I'll tell him right away."

"No way, are we talking?

Impossible, Sarpent thinks. The words of the Dragon Nation are all understandable to Sarpent, who is a true dragon, except those who die and become zombies. They have more or less lost their intelligence, so they can't even think about the words themselves. The zombie and the human daughter in front of him exchanged words.

And the face of Alphilis, who looked back, was a loving expression, as if it were someone else.

Sarpent, listen to me.

"This girl is not just following you in admiration. I'm rather worried. You stopped laughing because of yourself. That regret is what brings her to this world."

"Oh my..."

"So all you can do to her is promise her. That you will return to your former self. She likes you, who live freely and possibly freely. You have too many things in captivity today."

"Why would you do that?"

The Serpent of course had an idea, but it didn't come as a surprise as to why Alphilis knew that. But before asking such questions, Alphilis further connects words.

"Let this girl release her soul with my power. So swear by her."

"... okay"

"Then..."

As Alphilis kept his hands in line with Rouge's face, Rouge's body grew from edge to edge, leaving only a few scales behind. And then there stands a beautiful woman with red, long hair, deep red eyes. The figure was transparent as an illusion, indicating that it no longer existed in the world.

"Is that Rouge?

"Serpent. I can finally talk to you..."

Rarely does an aged dragon say he is illusioned by the appearance of humans and other creatures. Though Rouge died young, he has gone through quite a few years if we consider him until the time he existed as a zombie. If so, it's not strange to have phantoms.

"(No way, there's an alphilis?

"With her help, I had some time to talk to you."

Rouge meets with Alphilis lightly. Alphilis smiled and returned it to Rouge.

"Let me be the first to say thank you. Thank you for not abandoning me as a zombie."

"Say what. I'm the one who didn't reward him for one thing..."

"That's enough."

Rouge nods his face at the Sarpent. With that in mind, Sarpent also became an illusion and a figure of man again. Her hair was pale and short, and her eyes were a color honoring the sea. A little feisty, but quite a beautiful man.

"I just liked you all the time unilaterally. Your heart has always been in that great ocean plain, and then..."

"Rouge, did you know everything?"

"Yeah. But I liked you like that. I had these thoughts about wanting you, the sea itself, to stay by my side. At least I wanted to be born into a sea creature, but that's an unfulfilled dream."

"Rouge..."

Serpent gently gives Rouge his head.

"But I have no regrets or resentments. If you have any regrets, only that you stopped laughing because of me. So from now on, I want you to live as you please. To be honest with your feelings. Promise me?

Deep red eyes interact with the eyes of the Aokai. And a slow nodding sarpent.

"Oh, let's promise. In the name of this true dragon."

"Good... now I have nothing to remember. You made me go out with you till the end."

"No, I'm not. I feel like I was swinging. We should have told you a lot sooner."

But Rouge just smiled back. And turn around Alphilis.

"A human daughter. If you ever visit the Fire Dragon clan in Bloom, could you tell me what's going on with me?

"Fine, then."

"I don't know what to do instead, but I want you to know that you have no protection for the Fire Dragon..."

Then the rouge scales touched the small hand of the alphilis, becoming part of it, almost unchanged in shape, but some of it seemed to stain deep red.

When Alphilis confirmed it, Rouge's appearance was already foggy. I guess I've accomplished all my thoughts.

"Alphilis, let me thank you too. Me too. Now... hey!?

When Sarpent looked at Alphilis, Alphilis nearly collapsed. In a hurry, Sarpent will hug you.

"What's up, hold on!

"... su."

"You're sleeping... a totally strange daughter. Nevertheless."

How did the series of acts go about? Is it really Alphilis that we were talking about again earlier?

"(I didn't know there was anything this true dragon didn't know either. Gwen's brother should be watching. But you owe me. Stopping)"

Sarpent returns part of his arm to the figure of a dragon, and when he pulls the scales off, he embeds them in the small hand of the alphilis, just like Rouge.

"This will do. Not only a fire dragon, but also a sea dragon's protection would be gained. It's small, but I gave it back a little first."

And when I gather the scales left over from Rouge, I embed one in the part of my scales that I just said yes to.

"Rouge, let's go together"

And when Sarpent returns to his original appearance, he puts Alphilis over his head and swims through the swamps.

"Well, how to return the favor... yes"

When Sarpent summoned a little seabird-like user demon, he flew far into the sky.
