The Branded Female Fencer

"I'm going to create a force that can counter him. I don't know what form that will take, but I'm sure I can't help it alone. Something like this could happen to me that would pull me off the curse myself, and the embarrassing story, even if Miranda hadn't held my hand earlier, was so hard to stand on, I was afraid of the Orange Bull. I can tell for sure, I can't beat him. I don't know how you can't win, but yes, instinct tells you.

So I need to get a bunch of people together who can fight them. While they are not clearly hostile to us. At least I think we're the few people who are aware of their dangers right now. We may not have to do it, but we don't just want to regret it when it doesn't work. That's what I think.

... so from here on out, I think my walking journey will be very demanding. That's what I can't guarantee my life or my safety. So I never mind if you don't get on with this story. If you're going down, I want you down at everyone's discretion, and I don't blame you. "

"So, what exactly are we going to do?

Miranda asks Alphilis. Alphilis closed his eyes and eventually slowly opened them with his mouth.

"I'll build a mercenary regiment. Find someone to fight with me. At first, I thought a little bit about serving in the country, but then I wouldn't be free at the heart of it, and more importantly, I'd end up in a narrower world."

"I see. Then I'll give you Atashi's opinion"

Miranda opens her mouth just now.

"Atashi can't join a mercenary regiment"

"Yes..."

Alphilis was visibly depressed. On the surface I kept calm, but it is clear to everyone that I was discouraged. While everyone thought it would be tough for Miranda to participate in the position, I didn't think Miranda would say no so far. Nia and Lisa go off without thinking about it.

"What are you looking at, Alfie? You have to listen to people until the end."

"Huh?"

"I can't join Atashi, but I'm going to try to convince our supreme bishop. So we set up a department dedicated to working with your mercenaries at Arnelia Church. If that's the case, the supreme bishop will ride too. Either way, we can already see movement in the Arnelian Church in this case. Besides, the Arnelian Church helps countries crusade demons. There's nothing wrong with being a mercenary."

"Miranda, bye"

"Atashi works to be the head there. I'm right next to you, Alfie. You're my best friend, right?"

Alphilis wept at the words. It could have been the first tear Alphilis would have shown in public. Except, of course, for the tears that are made to appear when they are asleep.

"Miranda... me..."

"You don't have to say anything. Because that's the path Atashi chose."

"Yeah... yeah... thanks, Miranda"

"Alfie, I feel the same way."

More aerial continues on the alphilis without even trying to hide the tears.

"My life, use it as you please when you like Alfie. I hear there's a knight in the outside world. I am Alfi's family and I want to be a knight. Would you accept me, if I may?

"No, Aerie... of course you're welcome."

"By the way, Lisa feels the same way"

Lisa also continues in an aerial fashion.

"Lisa will be targeted at that perverted boy even if she leaves him alone. Then it's until you get out of here and knock it down. If you think of Lisa as just a big, beautiful girl, it's a big mistake."

"Lord Lisa. A word from me about that."

Surprisingly, Maple asked Lisa about her mouth from herself.

"I was worried if I should say this out of my mouth... but Lord Lisa didn't have to be that, she didn't have anything to do with it"

"What do you mean, maple?

"In fact, the children that Lord Lisa was keeping were attacked by that boy."

Lisa stands up on the spot this time. Her face was bright blue, and her lips trembled smugly.

"What... what!?

"But don't worry. No one, not one scratch. Instead, I wounded that boy. Was it a boy named Jake?"

"Jake did?

Now Lisa turned her eyes round. And he looks complicated. Jake seems happy to be growing up, worried about being impotent. That may have been closer to my mother than a lover.

"The Jake boy played a part in getting rid of him brilliantly, but also bought that boy's grudge as a result. So..."

"No, maple. Enough. If it's all Jake's choice, until Lisa respects it. That kid is a boy, too. Because I don't want to be a man who can't take responsibility for his actions. I'd rather thank you for talking to me."

"Yes."

Then Maple shut up perfectly. Lisa is also closing her eyes and leaning over her emotions. It was Nia who spoke there.

"I've made up my mind too. Alfie, will you listen to me?

"Okay?

"I go through the gruzaldo"

Everyone is surprised even when it comes to that statement. Nia took control of Alphilis, who was about to say something.

"This is something I've been thinking about while I was falling asleep with my arm dropped. You told Alfie a little, that I was lost in being a soldier. I don't think I can get out on the battlefield with all this stray. Besides, if I found out about them, I'd know better than to be out in the field for my country. Well, I don't know how much I can do. Plus, there's something about Kazas to me right now. He even told me he'd throw away his current profession if it was for me, but if he's with Kazas, it's going to be better for me to go to Kazas"

"Nia, are you okay?

"Fine, I've already made up my mind. Just like Aerial, it was time for me to make my decision. Besides, I also think of Alfi as my best friend. If you want to fight, you want to fight to protect the visible, I do. I finally figured that out.

But will you wait a little while to join us? I have to go to Gruzaldo once and formally go through the discharge process. It is from then on that I participate. Is that okay with you?

"Absolutely. Nia would always be welcome."

Alphilis gave Nia a smile. That's when Uty suddenly screams.

"If I tell you this won't get Atashi going, I'm not a complete bad guy! Fine, I'll follow you, thank you!

"Uty, you don't have to do this anymore. I don't want a tundra fairy like that."

"Mostly 'follow me' is my exclusive patent!

"Shut up! Atashi has an Atashi situation! Alfie, even if you say you don't like it, I'll follow you!?

Uti points to the Alphilis and declares. Seeing that, Alphilis nodded bitterly.

"Yeah, Uty. You're welcome."

"Well, the problem is maple and larna"

Miranda sees two. But the two replied quickly.

"I am one who serves the Church of Arnelia. To Miranda, therefore. If Miranda helps, she won't be stingy enough to work with me."

"Me too. I haven't been your companion for a day yet, but I'll do my best for Mr. Alphilis."

Regardless of the maple to the word, it was surprising to Alphilis that Larna responded instantly.

"I appreciate it, but how could Larna?

"I don't have that much justice. But Master Fairtoose has taught me that people in need are something to help. Besides, when I was nursing Mr. Alphilis, I was so embarrassed that I used a little horny powers to peek into my dreams."

Larna tells him she's sorry. It's something I certainly don't remember in Alphilis.

"Oh, that's..."

"Yes, a little, but I was wondering if I would have taken a peek into Mr. Alphilis' past. Most dreams are dreams. I don't know how far it is true, but it's always been like a recurring dream. I don't like the fact that I had a strong memory of the scene, so I should probably have had the same dream since I was a kid all the time. Different?

"That's... that's right. Except if you wake up and remember."

Alphilis turns around and sees Larna with serious eyes. Larna looked sad in the eyes and saw Alphilis.

"That must have been a pain in the ass. Sometimes I had to bewitch temptations at the behest of Fairtoose then, and since other people's dreams are not something I could manipulate without permission, I didn't get my hands on them at all, but from now on, if it's a request, I can make my dreams better. Say it if you have to."

"I'm glad to hear that, but what does that have to do with working with me?

"I draw the blood of a succubus, so I'm somewhat familiar with dreams, but those dreams are unnatural. There is one thing that really bothers me about that. As I mentioned earlier again, there's one thing I'm not going to do either because I just got out of the outside world. One thing Lady Fairtoose told me. One more thing..."

"One more thing... because Mr. Alphilis is my ideal person"

"... what?

The alphilis has solidified while holding Irmatal. And it is all the same. By contrast, Larna blushes, covering her face with both hands and nagging. It's as if I've said something serious.

Uty and Lisa, barely keeping calm, are talking to each other.

"(Hey, is that what Larna's hobby is?

"(Doesn't look like the type to make jokes)"

"(It is. I hear horny demons can be either men or women, but no way. Well, Alfi is a seemingly riddled face)"

"(That's certainly where Lisa admits it too. And the contents are that heckle. Rana saw what was even weaker, so she must have made a difference. Alfi has a tough future, too)"

Neither did the servant Lisa feel that Alphilis was pitiful and teasing when this event continued in addition to the Irmatal affair.

And Larna remains lit all the time.

"Mr. Alphilis, I don't care if I have children. Let's grow Irmatal together."

"Uh... yeah... good luck, me... (Master, a decent world moves away step by step, me)"

Alphilis was completely relieved. It took a while for her to regain her sanity.

And since Alphilis managed to regain his ability to think. Everyone was already ready to leave. Alphilis leaves everyone a little and consults Gwendorf.

"Gwen, can I keep Irmatal like this?

"Oh, I'd rather do that. Even though she was born and doesn't have much power, this child is also a family of true dragons. Getting your hands on this child means turning all the true dragons against the enemy. Such recklessness would be a good deterrent because they wouldn't do so either"

"I'm not, and I'm not sneaky enough to involve such a young child in battle."

I look up at Gwendorf as Alphilis strokes Irmatal's head. Gwendorf laughs all the time in the eyes of Alphilis, who wholeheartedly guides that Irmatal.

"Well... you were such a sweet kid. But don't worry. She's happiest with you. [M] Even if he doesn't know what's going on, it's still not a good idea to separate the mother from the child."

"But you're so young! There's a chance he'll die."

"Death is not always unhappy. Sometimes being deprived of something important can be more painful than death. If you don't like that, that you won't die until she's older enough to make a normal decision. Isn't that important?

"That's right, but..."

Alphilis still seems lost. Never think of Ilmatal as a disturbance. Alphilis felt the burden of engaging a purely young child in battle. Gwendorf loved Alphilis because he could see that, too.

"At least I'll accompany you to Arnelia. And even after Arnelia, I'll keep an eye on you guys. The most important thing is that I know the situation, so if anything breaks my contract, I'll put it on you right away to protect you from them."

"Really?"

"True."

Hearing the words, Alphilis seemed somewhat relieved. I try to get back on my mind and go to everyone. At that time, Fufu Gwendorf summoned Alphilis from behind.

"Alphilis, I'm sorry"

"What?

"I know almost everything, but I can't say anything."

"I can't help that. Isn't it painful for Gwen? I'm going to know a little bit about your personality, and so am I."

Alphilis makes Gwendorf try a wink. Seeing that appearance, Gwendorf uttered what he was about to say.

"... thank you, I'm saved by you"

"If so, we'll have each other."

"Then I must tell you a few more things. This is my personal advice."

Alphilis stops and turns toward Gwendorf.

"Aldrius had assumed this would happen. I will protect you from this situation."

"I honestly don't know what he knew, what he thought and what he wanted to do, either. But what I've been told by him is that if anything happens to Alphilis, there may be many unhappy people out there. I don't want to make her any more unhappy, so she asked me to keep an eye on you while I knew I couldn't. That's what happened without trying..."

But there Gwendorf comes up with a possibility. Wasn't it Aldrius who tried? Didn't you do that so that you would know that you would eventually be unable to protect Alphilis with your life expectancy, and instead you would have to protect Alphilis even if you didn't like to be a true dragon? Most importantly, it was too convenient to think carefully about Alphilis sneaking in and warming his eggs while he was away before giving Alphilis a clear explanation. Maybe Aldrius was somehow gearing up to be such a development.

"(To the best of my knowledge, Aldrius was not a clean, white person. It doesn't even look that way at first glance, but being a true dragon, I somehow saw his essence. That's why, even though me and him continued to interact strangely, I can also say that we were able to grow an alphilis. I guess what makes me think it's not a bad way to get caught up is I'm not for the head of True Dragon after all)"

Even though Gwendorf mocked himself with his heart, he made sure that Alphilis would not understand. Alphilis has full confidence in Aldrius. Gwendorf had no intention of discrediting Aldrius in her now.

Get your mind back on it, Gwendorf goes on with the words.

"... Aldrius tells you to visit Begrad to the east, doesn't he?

"Yes, it is."

"If Hausen wasn't here, you should visit a man named Truffon. He should be imitating every teacher. If it's like old times."

"? Okay. I will."

Alphilis looked surprised for a moment, but the doubt seemed to have drank. I think it's something I would know if I visited it and asked Gwen, but I guess I stopped visiting things for nothing.

"There's more. Orangeables aren't magicians, they're wizards."

Wizard. A title given to someone whose magic is used to make a slippery and permanent impact on the world, or who can exercise magic. It often means the latter as a real problem, but it is a title given to some who stand at the top of the magicians. With the strength of Alphilis, you won't get to the wizard.

"... that's a big deal. But if he gave the elves magic, I don't know."

"Oh, especially what he was studying was astrology. That's all I can say about him."

"Okay. I want you to let me know when you can say something. Until then, I'll explore it independently too"

"Mm-hmm. And this is the last time. That woman in the enemy... there was a little girl in black, wasn't there?

"You're the last kid to bring home a big man. What's wrong with her?

"When we meet, the option to fight is to throw it away. Make sure you take a hand in the escape. No creature exists on this earth that can beat her alone"

Gwen's expression was serious in itself. That's why Alphilis recognizes the seriousness of the situation. She's enough to make the dragon say that, that girl.

"Or it may be possible depending on the conditions, but at least not by humans. I can give her some advice, and I can think of some time about their other facial rashes, but at this stage, to put it any further, I would have taken your side as a true dragon beyond my personal bounds."

"Okay. You made the most concessions, didn't you? Thank you. No more?

"Oh, I don't have any more now."

"Then let's go, Gwen. I have as much to do as I want. Let's start with Arnelia, the Holy City."

"Um, yeah."

That's how Alphilis walks out to his people, holding Irmatal. Gwendorf seemed worried, but he looked at it reliably.
