The Branded Female Fencer
Each choice, part 2 - Love blooming in the swamps
After sending the Alphilis and the others out, Fairtoose and Sarpent went back to the swamps. And it's not like either one of us says, to where the Sarpent rested the Alphilis, go fast. It took a day to travel with care for the alphilis, but now Fairtoose is with us. Fairtoose entered the mouth of Sarpent, who returned to the figure of a dragon when he used defensive magic, and Sarpent quickly returned to his original place in the way he traveled when swimming in the sea at high speeds.
"Ugh, swinging, swinging"
"Are you drunk?
"It's all right, you're paying attention, aren't you?
"Of course."
Jumps off the mouth of the sarpent in such a light-hearted move that Fairtoose doesn't seem like an old man. What I saw under my eyes at that time was a pitch-black fountain contaminated with the curse of Alphilis.
"This is..."
"This is all she had, and her daughter was inside. Totally unbelievable."
"But it's true. That girl has many mysteries in many ways. I wonder who it is..."
"Wouldn't anyone know if the witch's long fair didn't?
"Can't even Serpent, a true dragon, tell?
"I am too casual to be called True Dragon. It's not like Gwen or Maia's fine true dragon."
Serpent says a little shy. Fairtoose looking up at it.
"Rather, you'll change into a human form. It hurts my neck to look up."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that"
Serpent disguises himself as a person as soon as possible. It is also possible to make it look like a garment by changing the body surface well. Pretty advanced sorcery as a change, but if you become as true a dragon as a serpent, you don't make it.
"Oh, this doesn't hurt my neck"
"I'm the only one who changes. Why don't you go back to where you were, too? Long time no see."
"Oh, right. It's been 10 years since you left Larna? Well, to blind the swamp, it's more or less like this. My daughter might have seen through the alphilis earlier.
"Hmm, an increasingly strange daughter. Nevertheless, it would have been ten years and a moment for us."
"But I think there was a lot going on. Because this is the first time I've ever raised a human. At first, I wondered why it was such a pain in the ass, but I miss Lara when she's gone. Surprisingly, oh, that's not bad. Then let's go back."
When Larna takes off her robe in the meantime and gets naked, she sprays herself with some powder that she puts out of her robe and goes into the water of the Sarpent Fountain. Then you will be rejuvenated while your body, which was an old man, sees it. The crooked hips were moist, the skin regained its subtlety, and the hair and lips trembled to luster. There stood a beautiful daughter with white hair, grey eyes on white skin.
"Fair is still beautiful"
"Thank you. Well, Sarpent fell in love with me, threw away the sea plains and followed me to such a despicable place."
Fairtoose's grey eyes gleam like pranks. Serpent looked troubled, but didn't deny it in particular.
"To confuse the true dragon is a witch."
"You fooled yourself. I didn't do anything."
"So is that."
"What more Rouge than that? No sign of it, though."
"I've returned to heaven."
"Ho. Then why again?"
Sarpent explained the impatience.
"I see, there's an alphilis... and again, I don't know."
"It's incomprehensible to me either. So I thought I'd ask Gwen."
"That's right, maybe that's a good idea. What are you talking about, by the way?
"Doesn't the fair need to talk, too?
"Fine, you first."
"Uhm."
Sarpent was prompted, but he has a mouthful. I tried to talk to him a few times, but he seemed to stop doing it every time. But Fairtoose waited patiently for Serpent's words.
"Oh, I've been thinking a lot of words. It's something that doesn't come out when you have to, not at all. Fairtoose, let's be frank. I love you."
"Yeah, I know"
Fairtoose, who concurs lightly in the words that Sarpent never releases his will. But there is no emotion or disdain in its eyes. The salpent also seems to have eaten some of the surface of the reaction.
"That would be nice if you followed me all the way here. If you didn't love me now, you're just a pervert, right? What I want to hear is what lies ahead."
"Ugh, um. So... well, what is it? I'm a true dragon with a long life span. You're a human being, even though you're a witch. Though I have time until my contract expires, it will have a very different lifespan... but still, I want to live with you."
"It's like you're still living, isn't it?
"It's not... that's it. Connect, no. You call yourself a couple when you're human. Well, as a couple, I'd like to officially make a deal."
After I said it, Sarpent blushed. It must have been an extra big decision. And when he finishes hearing the words, Fairtoose slowly walks to Sarpent. The pale eyes reminiscent of the sea and the grey eyes intersect.
"That. If you don't like it..."
That's my answer.
Fairtoose layered her lips as she grabbed Serpent's face. Serpent opens his eyes to unexpected behavior, but Fairtoose remains in Serpent's arms.
"You told me to do it, I've waited 200 years for that word. True dragons don't know one thing about women, even though they say that they are responsible for all their wisdom."
"Nah. Well, then..."
"Here, I've always been in love. Ever since I first saw you."
Fairtoose looks up at Serpent hot.
"Otherwise, something we've been together for so long"
"Oh my goodness. Then from the beginning..."
"I guess we were in love with each other. But I really fell in love with you when I went to the swamp. I was delighted... that you came all the way here to dump the ocean for me. And if I talk to you, I won't say anything. Rouge is worried too. He can't ascend."
"... I'm sorry"
Sarpent hugs Fairtoose. Fairtoose gives herself up to its warmth.
"It's true. When I first saw you in the Great Sea Plains, I saw you swimming around freely, and I thought I was so jealous. I was imprisoned for being a witch. At first, I admired the existence of a true dragon, and I was honored to be beside him and talk a lot, but gradually it was hard to be with him. I wonder why I don't have so much freedom. Plus, because it was a totally disguised love. But you came to me... and I don't want any more. Too much work, my life. That's the first time I've ever felt that way. Then I can also thank you for being a witch. It's selfish."
"But so am I... I was born as a true dragon, and while watching over this earth is our mission and being taught, I was always restless. I wasn't swimming freely through the ocean plains, I was just standing back. I came to the swamp and finally figured that out." The freedom of my soul must be with me. "
The two stare at each other. And after a long mouthful, the two slowly separated.
"But I can't live with you now."
"... you mean Alphilis"
"There's that too. But I didn't know the outside world was moving so rapidly. Looks like the Phalanx was debated, the Seekers were burned down the woods, and Wintier was chased inside the Spirit. Though the world is a flurry, this must not happen. I can't overlook this any more than I am a witch who keeps the world order."
"I agree with that. Looks like someone's trying to disrupt the world."
"Well, I don't know about that..."
"What do you mean?
But Fairtoose did not answer the question.
"Anyway, I'll go around to witches everywhere. They'll already have some information. Witches can no longer be irrelevant, either, because originally witches are a role in guiding humans right. Then they come to the Magic Church. We need to make our position clear to them."
"Right."
"It won't be long before the Witch Regiment."
Witch Regiment - It is a gathering of witches from all over the continent to meet together. A witch refers to a woman magician who directly substitutes a covenant with the Spirit and acts only to preserve the order of nature, not selfishness. By the way, in the case of men, it is called a mentor. For the convenience of making a covenant with the Spirit, the Great Old Witch often left people and lived in nature, which was thought to be the best way to preserve world order. But in the days of many demons, those who shun people in that way are seen as demons to the people and subject to persecution. In addition, the Ordinary Period coincided with a time when magicians were the object of persecution, and there even existed areas where there was something to hunt witches for.
Later, as the sorcerers gradually regained their social status, the witches also began to change their minds. Humans are also a part of nature and should be protected and guided together. Failure to do so resulted in such persecution. There was also a positive or negative opinion in this opinion among witches, but many witches agree with this opinion and actively descend into people while standing in nature to teach and guide people about various natural knowledge. The number of witches per population grew smaller as people's living quarters expanded, but there are still areas in the world today that are closely associated with witches.
Such a witch meets with a bunch of witches. They communicate the situation everywhere there, the state of nature and the recent situation of each. This also means preventing each persecution from occurring. The head of the witch is supposed to be done around by the witches of each attribute, but Fairtoose happened to turn the order when she was a witch, so she was chased by her own work and not the other way around. There has been no witch regiment for the last 200 years, as it was drawn further into the swamp. Perhaps the witches will remain unaware of each other's situation everywhere. And the substitution should be quite happening. Fairtoose was a little sick that the world was in a situation like this, maybe because of herself.
And Fairtoose flips the robe. Looks like we're ready to leave already.
"Until it's all cleaned up... will you wait?
"Oh, I've kept you waiting for 200 years. Besides, I have to purify this place. Finally, as a true dragon, I feel like I've found something to do. I'm glad I came to the swamp. So don't worry about me waiting."
"I'll be back as soon as I can. Then this time, I want to try to raise my real own daughter"
Fairtoose is about to lighten up a little. She must have had a lot of courage to pronounce this word. But Sarpent embraced such a fair tooth with love, and let go to spare his farewell.
"I'll be waiting..."
"Yeah, me too"
So Fairtoose traveled to witches everywhere.
