The Branded Female Fencer

"Quarantine the northern earth...?

I objected to that word as if Miranda had heard an exotic one, but it was Alphilis who didn't know what the word meant, and even Gwendorf was the same.

"Isolate the North? I haven't received any such reports either. What's this all about?

"... we have sealed the Great Demon King on the northern earth"

Both Alphilis and Miranda accidentally looked at each other in the closet's words. Gwendorf apparently moved his eyebrows tingly, but within his expectations.

"Which Great Demon King?

"The Great Demon King, Tetrapolishka"

"Um, the devil-eyed woman."

What did Gwendorf look like? But the circumstances often prevent Alphilis and the others from swallowing it.

"Hey, Gwen."

"What is it, Alfie?"

"Isn't the Great Demon King wiped out?

"... well, you don't know."

"I don't even know Atashi"

Miranda and the demon king. The content of this story seems to have bothered me.

"Since the Great Demon King was wiped out, didn't we start a war between humans?

"You're half right, half wrong"

"Dear Gwendorf, Are you sure you want to talk to them?"

Closess tries to flatter Gwendorf.

"... you won't mind. They are facing a more serious crisis. You might want to know about this."

"If that's what you say."

Closess gently drooped her head and showed a silent posture.

"Well, it's about the Great Demon King. In fact, at least three of the six at the end of the war have been missed."

"What...?

Both Alphilis and Miranda had a strong expression. Still, Gwendorf continues.

"It's too early to be surprised. Plus, it's still active."

"Huh."

"No, silly!

Miranda roughed up her voice. It's too different from the historical facts you know.

"Then why isn't anyone crusading?

"No way..."

"Alphilis is good."

As Gwendorf pointed out, Alphilis seemed to realize something. Miranda leaves her voice rough and turns back to Alphilis.

"Alfie, you know something!?

"Yeah. I imagine this, but what if no one could defeat that Great Demon King?

Miranda became angry at what Alphilis had told her with a blue face. And Miranda's head starts spinning full.

"I see... that might convince you a lot."

"Do you have any idea?

"Oh, a lot."

The way Miranda put her thoughts together, she nodded.

"For one thing, a magic church is a bad group with constant civil strife, but it never breaks down. I've been fighting internally all the time, and I think there are dead people out there."

"Why?"

"Atashi has always wondered, too, what if the true purpose of the Magic Church is to monitor and exterminate its surviving Great Demon King?

"Close, but not far away without hitting"

The closet pinched the words. Then ask Gwendorf for permission with his eyes and start talking.

"You don't have to bother Mr. Gwendorf's mouth, I'll explain it in turn. First of all, during the Great War, there were six Great Demon Kings, right? At that time, the Magic Church, the Witches, the Instructors, the Arnelian Church and even the Church of the Olimpus at the end have joined forces to destroy the unity of the Great Demon King in coalitions with soldiers from all nations. But the result was miserable. 1/5 of those who participated in the battle actually died. More than half of them sustained some kind of injury. To the magnitude of the damage, Olumpas has indicated that he will withdraw from future battles with the Great Demon King. The nations also fell back on the Great Demon King crusade.

And what was left was the Arnelian Church, the Magic Church, and the witches and mentors. So we fought while arguing, but it was not settled, and only time flied by naughty. But when I realized, the Great Demons disappeared again. "

Alphilis and the others know about it. One said Lifeless did it. I guess he knocked it down where it's not a historical fact. But if that's true, it's also possible that the fighting power of the lifeless alone is comparable to that of all sorcery churches. Alphilis shudders that his magic power may be true for 100,000 magicians.

And yet the closet continues.

"And when the Great Demon King was last united, the humans went to bet. If we defeat the last one, we don't have to be scared of the Demon King anymore. So again the humans joined together and fought against the last Great Demon King."

"Pretty intentional, but I can't help it. So, he said he couldn't take it down."

"Exactly. The army of the last Great Demon King beat thoroughly, but the Great Demon himself could not defeat it. Joining the fight to the end were the Arnelian Church, the Magic Church, the Witches, the Instructors, and then some of the nations, but they decided to enter into a truce agreement with their Great Demon King. Because we knew that if we fought any further, we'd be hit so hard that we'd never get back together again."

"But as troubling as it is now, I shouldn't have. But I should have knocked him out there."

I tried to join the conversation if Alphilis wasn't convinced, but Miranda shook her head.

"No, I can't do that, Alfie. I could certainly have defeated him. No, I guess if we still form another coalition, that Great Demon King can be defeated. That's why the Great Demon King is so important. But if we had been forced to defeat the Great Demon King at the time, the last group we would have joined would have been ravaged without a trace by now."

"To whom?

"The countries that survived the war along the way and the Church of Olimpas."

Alphilis argues against what Miranda told him to throw up.

"But imitating like such a fire scene thief"

"I will. History is made by winners. The dead don't talk, the losers don't talk in silence. I guess Olimpus is aiming at it and piercing external non-interference all the time. If they get a chance, they'll definitely invade this way. Atashi has met with them several times on the job, and in some cases, he has, but if he wants to, he won't. Because they look like adults and possess a lot of fighting power, and so do those guys. A bunch of belly-black people."

"That Sister is right. The concerns at the time were also, apparently, precisely Olunpus. And with the strength of the warrior and the strength of the Great Demon King in his balance, he came to the conclusion of a truce agreement. That's the fact of the war."

Alphilis and Miranda stop talking about what Closes said. I didn't know history was so intentional, Dew. Elsa heard the same story from Miriazal, but both Alphilis and Miranda realized that the equilibrium of the world was far more dangerous than they thought.

Closess connects words further there.

"But with us, I wasn't doing anything. The Magic Church studied magic to defeat the Great Demon King. The Church of Arnelia executed further securing its strength by expanding its position. The more I feel about it, the more I can have an all-out war with Olympus. Witches and mentors are also focused on fostering backward movement. So current witches and their successors are just the best class users in history. It's a strange story to say myself, too, but if it's just the amount of magic you already have, it's outweighing your master. Your teacher's beating me to death."

"So you say we have measures?

"Um, we'll just have a chance later. Most likely, you won't keep your mouth shut over there. Wouldn't that be the subject of this tournament?"

"... could have been too late"

"What?"

A closet asks what Alphilis whined about. And Alphilis told me about the black magicians. Every time I hear that fact, I open my closet eyes, which were faceless. And Alphilis saw how white skin was losing more color.

I'm done telling you everything, and silence surrounds me.

"... I see, I know what's going on. Apparently things are much more serious than we imagined"

"Right. I still don't feel it either."

"But you'll fight, won't you?

"Exactly. It would be an inevitable fate anyway, and I'm not going to pretend not to see it. That's why I don't know, closet. You're not going to be one of mine, are you?

Miranda was surprised by this too, as Alphilis suddenly solicited a closet.

"Hey, Alfie!?

"That's good. Even Miranda pointed out that we're vulnerable to witchcraft."

"That's right, but..."

"What do you say, closet? I beg your pardon if I can't."

But surprisingly, the closet seemed lost. I thought Miranda would say no immediately, but maybe Alphilis had something to feel.
