The Branded Female Fencer

Unsheltered Land, Part 2 - Cowardly

"Damn, that's frustrating!

"Miranda, you're ignoring me, right?

"I know, but!

Miranda's frustration is not impossible either. They avoid the Alphilis, but only their eyes follow them extensively. This is nothing but disrespectful.

That's why we can't force them to stop, and the Alphilis just move on into a snarling, tangled gaze.

"Isn't that an arms dealer?

Among other things, the maple pointed to a building with a painting of a sword on the sign. The sign is about to fall, but it will almost certainly be.

"Then do you have a grocery store?

"Maybe this is the main store around here. Let's check this area of the building."

"Okay, do you want to split it it somewhat"

That's how the guys break up one by one. In it Alphilis was to be accompanied by utilities and emeralds and to look for a grocery store.

"I'm sorry. Shit!

When Alphilis walked into the store, he didn't know it from the outside, but it looked like a dining room. There were some people eating, but no one or he was silent. In a creepy store, a middle-aged woman looks back at Alphilis like a shopkeeper. Alphilis who feels something that doesn't flatter her eyes, but there she patiently questioned the woman.

"Um, do you know a grocery store and a place where you can get water?

But women don't answer. My eyes remained on Alphilis as always. I wonder if Alphilis had a smaller voice, strengthening his voice.

"Um! With the grocery store..."

Before the words of Alphilis end, bang! and the lady husband stuck out a sign indicating the intention of "closing" for Alphilis. And when I turn my back on Alphilis for a long time, I know very well that I'm not willing to have a conversation again.

Despite the fact that there are still other guests eating, Alphilis, who is just as angry about getting into this attitude, can't help but say and argue here. It was even more creepy for Alphilis that the shoppers were silent about the interaction. When Alphilis leaves the store amazing without a choice, he kicks the stone lightly in anger.

"What, that?

"Really. But there was something strange about it."

Instead of getting angry, Uty seemed to feel even more creepy. I can well see a little trembling in the robe of the alphilis.

"But what do we do? I want to make sure I have about the minimum of water, but Uti knows where the water is?

"Yeah. I'm not sure about that either."

"Trouble, what shall we do?"

"A Phew."

That's when Emerald pulled Alphilis' sleeve. Before she pulled her sleeve and pointed, the city dwellers stood up with such a stick in their hands. There are at least 20 of them.

Feeling unwieldy at the look of it, Alphilis unwittingly hides the emerald behind him.

"... what can I do for you?

"Do you want me to give you the demon behind it, traveler"

A disappointing man of stature voiced, seemingly a leader in it. Alphilis was surprised by the fact that the inhabitants of this town uttered the words themselves, rather than by the content of the words first uttered by the man, but he was told something extraordinary if he realized it.

"It's a demon?

"That's right!

"Based on what!

Alphilis says it back in blue. No one can possibly know that Emerald is Halpuia or something. But Alphilis' idea was sweet. Even if you hide yourself, there are many things you can't erase.

"This is what he tells me!

The villagers brought in dogs. But Alphilis looked at the dog and got upset. None of this is a normal dog. Dogs with three eyes, four ears, and three tails, all of which were teratogenic. What they all have in common is that their mouths are closed with iron masks so that they can't raise their voices.

For a moment Alphilis is alert to the likeness of the Demon King, but apparently a little different. If those were demon kings, they wouldn't have listened to humans.

Explain to the villagers how proud they are of their strange dogs.

"These guys are specially made dogs grown out of demonic meat. Much more fierce than regular dogs, only demonic meat can make my stomach. That's why I'm so sensitive to demonic signs. Before you came to this town, these guys slapped us in the cage and let us know the danger."

"No! We won't do anything!

"You know what I mean!

Alphilis' excuse was extinguished by the fury of the villagers. If you look closely, the villagers' eyes are cloudy with fear and madness. It was as obvious to Alphilis as it wasn't in a state where we could already talk. What the hell was in them?

Nor can I afford to think about that question right now.

"Take the guy's robe back there! I'll make sure you look good."

"This kid is sick. Don't say that!

"You found out!

The disguise of showing illness also does not get into the eyes of the villagers. Halpuia shouldn't be a demon, but whether that excuse makes sense at all. No, just because there was no suspicious place, whatever you said wouldn't make sense to them. One circumstance had made so many villagers in this town unable to trust others. I could never imagine such a thing in a good alphilis of people, and I have no reason to know it. It would have been right to get out of this place without saying anything.

But as the barren interactions continued, the frustration of the villagers finally began to exceed their limits.

"Are you a demon too!?

"No! I'm human!

To the words I screamed for myself, it should be human, Alphilis thinks. It is very mysterious how only I have such strong magic powers, and I have never heard anything about my parents being able to use witchcraft, etc. Asked that it was the real parents who sold Alphilis to the Magic Church, Alphilis sometimes suspected they would really be their own parents, but it was something they couldn't even look into.

But it's also true that if you have other parents, you can't even imagine who the hell they are. When Aldrius picked me up, I thought about it more than once, and sometimes every night I had nightmares or I couldn't sleep, but eventually those questions ended up deep in Alphilis' chest as something I couldn't help thinking about.

That inadvertently causes Alphilis to rock its roots in the wake of the words he has just uttered. And a moment of captive consciousness made her make a gap.

"I don't mind, let the judgment be a dog!

"Let go of the dog!

Together with the words, the shackles of the dog were removed, and more than 10 dogs, released with their reins, rushed abruptly. Different dogs, scattered with saliva and with dog teeth much more developed than normal, come running with their eyes running blood. Alphilis remembers fear for a moment, but is much more drawn to the presence of a small emerald on his back.

Alphilis, who hastily laid his sword, waves down his sword in the sight of a foreign dog, but it is a battle that originally began close to misunderstanding. Alphilis' sword muscle was duller than usual. I guess it's her tenderness and sweetness around it, but it's not like the other person takes her sexual orientation into account.

Other dogs thrust into the emerald about the first two. But Emerald is not weak enough to be shut up.

"Yaah!"

Emerald pulled out the sword of the hips of those who were not impulses, flashing and slashing the throat of one dog. Its vibrant sword moves raise a brief "ooh" from the townspeople as well. Unlike appearance, Emerald is by no means just a big deal personality. Again, Halpuia herself is not just a big race. Also considered a kind of beast man, they are more of a hunting nation in nature. What makes them different from normal beastmen is that they use their weapons cleverly. One of them, Emerald, also wore more than a certain sword technique.

But both Alphilis and Emerald respond diligently to the dogs who are not frightened at all to the extent that they have slashed one, but at last the Emerald robe snaps onto the dog's forefoot and the Emerald's pure white feathers are exposed from the stripped robe.

I don't think Alphilis is a good idea, but I did my best because I deal with dogs that flock to me.

"(Damn, I can't use magic at all from earlier! This means there is no protection for the Spirit!?

Alphilis couldn't hide his inner rush. Usually I had the idea that even if the danger was imminent, I could handle it using witchcraft. Alphilis regrets its sweetness.

And when they saw the feathered emerald, the townspeople were losing words about how to react for a moment, but everyone starts chanting because someone muttered, "It's a demon..."

"It's still a demon!

"Kill the demons!

"Don't let him get out of the city alive!

Killing spreads to the townspeople like an infectious disease, and they flock like the deceased as they set up farming equipment and knives in their hands on the Alphilis and the others.

Alphilis, the best in dog opponents, has no batter. And as the humans began to flock to the two, the dogs pulled, and Alphilis and Emerald surrounded by the townspeople.

"A Phew!

"Damn, not good"

Alphilis thinks that if we slaughter the townspeople here, that's the last line we'll cross. I've been through a bandit crusade several times as a mercenary, Alphilis, but even when I slaughtered people at that fold, Alphilis couldn't stop shaking his hands. Trembling Alphilis left his sword in his grip until that unfamiliar line came beside him and took his hand.

It was all a request of the Alliance, though there were times since when people were slaughtered several times. There were still feelings for the prize neck and criminals, but this time the opponents are the townspeople without any sins. Whether or not there really is no sin is another story, but there could not be an option for Alphilis to have them in his hands.

Not even enough people to kick it with their bare hands. The octagonal alphilis made a decision.

"Emerald, run!

Didn't you understand the word, or didn't you want to, even though you did? Emerald not trying to leave beside Alphilis.

"Yah!

"Idiot! If you don't, you'll be killed!

"That being said, what do you do with Alphilis?

The seen utility screams in the ear of the alphilis.

"I'm... I'm probably fine. I don't care where you come from, you're human, and they probably won't kill you!

"Hopeful observations are good too. Come on!

"But if we stay like this, they're gonna kill Emerald for sure! So Uty, please!

It may have been the first time Alpha Reese has ever asked Utility to do so honestly. Uti, judging the situation in an instant, talks to Emerald to jump out of the Alphilis hood and escape.

The townspeople were surprised by the sudden appearance of Uti, who added, "Let's eat him, come on! The timid townspeople glance for a moment because of shouting," etc. Utility taps on Emerald's cheek, who tries to use that gap to fool him, forcing him to escape into the sky.

"Alfi! You will definitely bring everyone back, so stay safe until then!?

"I know!

"A Phew!

I thought I heard Emerald scream at the end, but with Alphilis, I could no longer afford to tease her.

"Well, what do we do?

Even as Alphilis rebuilds his sword, the townspeople are growing at some point, and surrounded by big men from 50, it's hard to escape even if you wave your sword without hesitation.

Something tangled up in the fence when Alphilis tries to at least turn the building back, twitching.

"Ah!?

It was already too late when Alphilis realized something about it. From inside the building, the weighted ropes jumped one after the other, entangling the body of the alphilis. There are naturally many townspeople in the building.

"Shit!

And what Alphilis, pulled down to the ground, saw was like this stick that shook down his head.
