The Branded Female Fencer

Swordsman Encounters, Part 2 - Swordsman Tales

"Only Grace doesn't cook a lot!?

"Atashi has a big body. Naturally."

"You get hungry if you eat too much, Mireille?

As Amarina eats her own evening meal (yuzu), she advises Mireille. Mireille eats Amarina showing such room.

"Amarina! Because I don't get fat."

"Because I don't lack proper training. Shouldn't Mireille sleep right after she eats it?

"Giggle!

You were poked at a star, Mireille's gaze swims and pinches a little belly meat. Even so, I'm hardly fat enough to pinch it.

"Oh, the..."

"I don't know, even if the belly with its navel is triple belly."

"Ugh, Canato!

Mireille's exposed belly-pumping Canato hand slaps, and Mireille leaves the pan in a bad mood. There was a strangely exhilarating picture of Mireille, teased and bent over her navel, looking around a little wondering which seat to go and clear up this worry.

"Ha ha! Hey, honey, that's a good-looking mouth!

"No, I..."

"Well, don't say that! I can't believe I can drink with such a beautiful woman, because I don't. Just for the record, our captain is beautiful, but scared."

"Ha."

A brunette who drinks up one after the other while Max and Lexus recommend her to drink. I've had quite a bit of booze available since earlier, but she's never shown any signs of getting drunk. Max and Lexus are never weak on booze either, but their faces were already bright red about whether the limits were approaching considerably as they drank together.

And a woman who drinks up a sip of wine poured into a bowl of rice to eat side by side. Each time, the faces of the Rubbers rise.

"Hey, finally!

"Hey, let's compare you to a drink with me!

"No, it's time"

But even while the brunette refuses, the next drink is poured. I thought it would be a good time when I ran out of liquor to pour, and the next liquor was already being prepared by the Rubbers face.

"It's so exciting."

"Hung."

It was Louis who reacted to those words that impressed Mireille. Two people who don't usually talk, but Louis knows how grumpy they are.

"Doesn't Louis mix? You like alcohol."

I don't like that kind of booze.

"Really?"

Seeing Louis' reaction, Mireille seemed to have noticed something. On a good note, there are surprisingly many who are watching the banquet on a faraway roll. Yet the only thing thriving was the corner, and the other faces never even tried to drink. The liquor platter loves most of the guys in the regiment, and for them on the battlefield almost all year round, many publicly say it's booze or woman when it comes to fun.

And next to Louis watching for a slightly strange banquet was Valsas. Louis doesn't like Valsas, so Mireille thinks this is unusual. Those two seemed to be having a serious discussion.

"Louis, so you're Romansland?

"Oh. I think it's worth looking into once"

"I see. But that country is a gateway to you, isn't it?

"Even for Amarina. But can't you just say that?

Louis drinks up at his disposal. When he confirms that Delhi has no booze, Louis mouths to Delhi to drink up to the last drop. Louis leaves the scene when he tells us everything he needs to talk about, including the dark black robe magicians, and when the booze is gone. Again, unless Valsas has any special business, it seems Louis is the one who has trouble beside him.

And when the talker is gone, Valsas walks toward the circle of Max and the others.

"Mix me up too."

"Oh, Valsas is here!

"Mr. Valsas sounds sketchy too - does the beauty still have eyes?

Lexus pokes Valsas jokingly with his elbow. But there was no wind to worry about, and Valsas urged the Rubbers to pour alcohol on their own.

The brunette stares at Valsas intriguingly.

"Valsas... you?

"Oh, it's Valsas I'm the leader of this mercenary corps. Regards."

Valsas offered him a bowl of wine instead of a greeting. A dark-haired woman also offers to respond.

"Woman, what's your name?

"My name is Titania"

"Hmm."

Close your eyes so that Valsas remembers something.

"You used to have a hero with that name. Good name."

"Thanks for that."

Titania bows with a pepper. Dark hair flutters and shakes.

"So, what are you doing in the back of this mountain? From what I've seen, it's also a" [sic]

"Yes. Meet people"

Titania has two big swords on her back. Whoever sees it is a swordsman. However, it is highly questionable whether such a great sword can be wielded with a woman's fine arms.

The Titania talks to Valsas in a quiet voice that blends into the darkness. Valsas and Titania were having a conversation so that they wouldn't get into their ears such as the words of Shaggy Max and Lexus next door.

"Speaking of Blackhawk, a group famous even on the continent. If you're the leader of that regiment, you must be strong."

"I'm quite confident. But it also shakes that confidence."

"Why?"

Valsas does not respond to that question of Titania. Instead, his gaze caught Titania and didn't let him go.

Titania also took the gaze head-on, and often the two stared at each other. but eventually the question is whether Valsas is tired of silence.

"Why would a woman carry a sword or something and travel alone?

"It may indeed be unusual from common sense. But this has been happening since I first realized it. It's a habit, no longer."

"Ever?"

"Yes."

Show Valsas the two fillets as Titania releases her sword as she sits down. At that moment, the noisy Max and Lexus stop perfectly. Titania never cares.

"Brilliant sword."

Valsas admired honestly. A pitch-black knife and a golden one, respectively. Both were more splendid swords than Valsas had ever seen.

"It's an honor to compliment you. This sword is the shape of my father and brother, respectively"

"Visibility?"

"Yes."

Answer as Titania holds her sword in her sheath.

"I was traveling with my father and brother. I don't know my mother's face. My father was quite the swordsman of his arms, but eventually when he fell, I began to bear the golden sword. My brother was a swordsman of considerable arms, but after all, when he fell into battle, I also began to bear the pitch-black sword. And for a long time, I've traveled with these two swords."

"That's a difficult thing to do."

Answer as Valsas drinks up. Titania stares at the condition with a quiet eye. Its face lit by a burning fire still doesn't look like a warrior waving a sword. Even Lexus thinks so.

I look at Titania a little nostalgic for the old days as she drinks up the leftover liquor.

"No, but I do."

"What other people or families?

"There used to be... now"

"Well, I heard boring things."

Valsas apologized to the Rubbers as they let him drink. Now on the contrary, Titania asks questions.

"What about you?

"What?"

"No, I was wondering if you had any family."

"These are my family."

There is no precipitation in Valsas' answer.

"My family is from the regiment. My hometown is a battlefield. Born on the battlefield, without a father or a mother, I'm determined to think so."

"Aren't you tired or something?

"Why"

Valsas looks at Titania with a sharp eye, even as he empties his cup again. Titania's eyes were clear, though she should have drunk to bathe earlier.

"It makes sense that if you're human, you want peace. Isn't it always in the days of battle that your mind shrinks?

"That's not true in my case either. In that respect, maybe I'm not human. No."

Valsas looked away.

"Or maybe I miss you. So always wave the sword. If you think about it, I think I'm a pathetic person."

"Really... you're just like me"

"Yeah?"

Titania's last whining words were not heard by Valsas. The only ones who heard that voice were Mireille, who was very earful, and Canato, a sensor.

That's how Max and Lexus thrived again, and Titania and Valsas didn't hear a word. Even though I said I heard what we had to ask each other.

And Valsas stands up where appropriate.

"Did I say Titania or something, you should go to sleep now. These guys will make a scene until morning. If I was dating, I'd have it. Sleep with us when you go to bed. That way, even if the demons come, they'll know in advance."

"I'll take care of you, I'll come in. Now let me sweeten your words after I've done more for you."

That's how Titania takes her seat as well. Even though Max, Lexus, and I noticed her like that, I didn't dare try to hold back.

Then Titania adds something a little further away, and on her way back, she realizes that there is a shadow blocking her way.
