The Branded Female Fencer

The story goes back (back) a while.

When Alphilis was suffering in the swamps, east of the prairie, in the lost woods, the Seekers' arguments were disputed.

In attendance at the meeting are Orbastov, the leader of the Seekers, and his son, the three princes. And those who are the direct men of Orbastov.

"Master Orbastov, are you going to be okay?

One of my men asks in a worrying voice. But Orbastov keeps his eyes closed and doesn't try to answer. Shargin, the second prince, answers instead.

"It's settled, it's a total fight! My brother Cesari was also captured, and further Newmas was killed in the battle ahead. How easy it will be to invade our battle in the future, even if we remain silent!

As Shargin argues, in fact, since Lifeless invaded the Mutrio, about 100 demon kings have been sent into the prairie every day. Of course, mainly Bradymaria is sending in magic, but the demon kings sent in were additionally subpoenaing demons and hekatonkails, resulting in more alien demons on the prairie at unusual speeds.

Some of them fought the Seekers fleeing east. Seekers fought more than each other at first, but the demon kings sent in gradually transformed the Seekers into hard-to-fight individuals. This, of course, is the result of Anomaly fine-tuning the types of demon kings she sends in, observing through the demons using a part of the battle.

Instead of returning to the mutlio, the Seekers were forced to twist and retreat, and were finally decisively struck the other day when Hecatonkail, whose magic had no effect whatsoever, was sent in. We lost nearly a fifth of our power, plus Newmass, the third prince. This led to the complete withdrawal of the Seekers from the prairie. Now in the lost woods to the east of the prairie, we are having an argument to decide on the way forward, but the argument itself extends to the 5th.

"But Master Shargin. They know what we can do when magic doesn't work."

"So what! So you're just gonna keep congratulating me and retreating? The dead will not be rewarded for that!

"Brother Shargin. After considering retreat as one means, you should decide whether to fight or not"

It was Roxwell the Fifth Prince who spoke. He is known for his tremendous character and hates strife. Shargin listening to this Roxwell word, which is usually quiet, was also counterproductive all this time.

"Roxwell, you don't know because you haven't fought on the front line! The carelessness of those who were torn, crushed, devoured and killed by those monsters alive! I can't imagine looking at a sight like that and now winding my tail and running away!

"But!"

"But even if we fight, we need a chance to win. Is there anything you can do?

The next person to open his mouth to block the two contending men was Hartinias, the first prince and chief of the period.

"Our decisions dictate everyone's lives. If we're going to fight, we need a chance. If we're going to escape, we need to choose where we're going. Do you two have a plan?

"It's..."

"I'll find it while I fight!

Shergin, with a raised head of blood, breathed, but Hartinias sighed loudly.

"If I could do that, I wouldn't have a hard time. Besides, we dominated at first. That reversed in just a few days. They're more responsive."

"So what are you going to do, brother?

Shargin looks at Hartinias with a slightly provocative eye. Hartinias also hit his sight with his brother with a slightly irritating eye again, but he quietly tells off.

"I'm not against fighting either. But I can't unless there's a better chance of winning. At least not until we find a way to counter that magic ineffective soldier. Given that, I think it's appropriate to find a place where we can calm down first. Don't you think it's too dangerous to strike out without your own castle?

"It's... sure"

Hartinias' opinion was ultimate, so Shargin shut up. Hurtinias goes on.

"But the question is where to put the place. Fortunately, this lost forest will not be bitter for us, and we will loosen the pursuit of those aliens, but apparently reports of objects show that they are slowly approaching us. In the end, this forest is not safe either."

"So what do you think is best done?

One of my men asks questions.

"I've already turned my gesture outside. They will report on what the outside world is like. On top of that, I would like to select a travel location"

"Oh, that would be a relief."

Smiles spill like my men are relieved. And the meeting was dissolved once, and Orbastov and Hartinias remained inside. So for the first time, Orbastov slowly opens his mouth.

It's Haltinias.

"What is it, Father"

Hartinias only listened back, but he seemed to already know what Orbastov was trying to say.

"Do you think you can find a destination?

"... honestly, I don't expect anything. As long as we could find it here, we wouldn't have had to imitate it like we were hiding from the beginning."

"Exactly. But then why would you do something like that?

"We need hope"

Hartinias said clearly.

"Even a bluff, the people need hope. This will give you morale for a few days."

"In the meantime, considering your next hand?

"Yes, but I was also a little disappointed"

"To what?

Orbastov asks questions slowly. Hartinias worried about whether he should say it or not, but started talking toothless as if he were hesitant to put it into words.

"... that's what they believed as they listened to me earlier. They have no idea what situation they are in or have been in. I'm too used to caging in a small settlement like Mutrio, turning down contact with others and spoiling and accepting my days without any weirdness"

"But we're the ones to blame."

Orbastov replied.

"We corrupted them. When we emigrated, it was our responsibility not to lead them so carefree. And when I failed, I couldn't come up with a plan for the next good."

"So you think this situation is paying the price then?

"Maybe."

I feel too big for that, Orbastov thinks, but no one pointed out that the idea itself might be sweet.

And while the Seekers' leaders were immersed in such an argument, there were men and women who had conversations under one tent.

"Kazas, how are you?

"Fenna. Yeah, it's a lot better now. It's still hard to get up and do things."

Kazas was put to sleep in the tent. They were rescued and protected by the Seekers after the Lifeless retreated. Seekers who hate contact with other people the most. Kazas, a human being, was treated almost like a prisoner. Fenna had been treated quite well for once, but the substance was monitored and not treated very royally.

"Don't push me, Kazas. You've been unconscious for about two days."

"It's not honorable. If Fenna hadn't protected me then, I would have died."

"I can't say that, but I just did what I deserved. We're friends, aren't we?

Fenna tries to laugh to cheer up Kazas, but in the present situation the laughter was also lonely.

"Right... right. Speaking of companions, are the Alphilis and the others safe? Will Nia be alive?"

"I'm sure they'll be fine. However, we don't even know..."

Two people can drool. Then Auri comes in there.

"Dear Fenna, the meeting time is over. I want you out of here right away."

"Already? I just got here earlier."

"I'm sorry, sir."

Auri treated Fenna with an attitude that did not give way to her hard work. Auri takes care of Fenna over the order, but he didn't like Fenna, and he even hated her one way or another. If it weren't for her, I don't think my team would have died, beginning with Willam, who was the captain. No, by thinking about it, you're forcing yourself to convince yourself. Fenna was in love with Willam because she knew it was Auri.

When Fenna glances at Kazas with her sad eyes, she leaves the tent. Fenna taking a walk, accompanied by an ori as it is.

"Which way, Master Fenna?

"It's a walk. Shouldn't you?

"I hope you can return to your tent as soon as possible."

"... can we get some outside air, please?

Fenna continued her walk by trying to take Ori's advice away. In fact, if I hadn't breathed the outside air, she would have crushed her chest in a heavy and indulgent way.

"(How tiny I am. While royal, I can't do anything. To avenge everyone inside, to avenge Willam. Kazas can't cure you, either, and he says it's about grabbing where Alphilis is going. I'll give it to you, I can't even walk around free!

As Fenna stands trapped in despair, Auri urges "time" to come. Fenna looks sad at him like that. And the moment I tried to walk towards him, a pebble hits my leg.

Fenna looked around, but no one. I tried to move because of my mind, but once again, the pebble hits my foot.

"(It's not your fault?

Fenna stops and thinks often. And when he turned to Auri as if nothing had happened, he uttered a strong word.

"Olli, would you mind staying away for a moment?

"What? No, I can't do that"

"Are you going to monitor me to the point where I can help?

"... excuse me for this. We're a little far away, so come back soon."

Goes away with Auri slightly blushing. And make sure he's gone far enough, and Fenna speaks up.

"That will be enough. Show yourself."

"Thank you"

It was the woman in the ninja outfit who helped the Alphilis and the others in the mutlio who showed up without sound from the grass. The woman kneels down, and takes thanks to him whose identity is above her.

"You only..."

"Again, I would like to introduce myself. Lord Miranda has been offered an escort, an Arnelian church person named Orange Millet. See you later."

"You took care of me then. Fenna-Schmitt-Rosenworks would like to thank you again for your help. So, what can I do for you?

Fenna behaves in an alert and royal and dignified manner. Fenna is only flamboyant when she is with the Alphilis, but as someone who is in a position to guide people, she knows how to behave.

Against her, the orange infarct responds to Kyou.

"This time, Miranda left me a message. Please check this letter first."

That's how Fenna received a letter from Miranda.
