The Branded Female Fencer

Unsheltered Land, Part 3 - Captured

"... one, uhh..."

Alphilis wakes up. The ground was unnecessarily limp and firm, and Alphilis woke up having trouble sleeping.

"Is this...? Oops!"

When Alphilis, who woke up his body on the cobblestone, does his hand to his head, there is slight blood on his hand.

"Well, I got hit in the head and lost my mind... and then what happened?

"Woman, you've been caught."

Alphilis looks back in surprise at the words he has given behind his lid. Alphilis awakens and alerts in an instant to a wild, low voice. The time is already night or I can't see exactly who's in the room with no light. Even if my eyes were accustomed to the darkness, I never knew what the Lord of my voice looked like because of the moon.

"Who?"

"When you say that..."

"You want me to name you after you?

The Lord, apparently a manly voice, laughed with his nose, as Alphilis answered as soon as possible.

"Right. You've disturbed my sleep, so I'll get a name from you."

"I am Alphilis, a traveling mercenary. And you?"

"Me or me..."

At that time, the light gently illuminates the figure of the plugged man from a small gap that can't even be a light window, whether a cloud has flown blocking the moon. Seeing that, Alphilis was inadvertently leaking his voice, "Ah." A man was not just a man. He was a giant man. A man so enormous that his head seemed to be on the ceiling even when he sat down, his hands and feet were wrapped around in very thick chains. But if I didn't, I guess I wouldn't have been able to keep him here. Seeing how it goes, Alphilis realizes that this is the place to stay.

"This is a place to stay."

"That's right. Woman, is this the first time you've seen a giant?

"No, not the first time, but... maybe the first time I've talked to you"

"Right."

The man didn't want to talk about his silent personality. If you look good, it doesn't seem like a man is that young, and while he has a stern face, Alphilis figures out that he will look about 30 miles past a little bit in humans. The color of the eyes was purple when I saw it for a moment earlier, and this was a relatively common color for giants. Hair is grey. Short-cut hair was a clearer representation of his rigour.

As soon as his observation is complete, Alphilis realizes that he has his hands behind his back again. It's just that in her case, she was underestimated to be a woman, or she just bracketed her hands and feet with rope. The sword was taken, but the armor has not been removed. Alphilis is relieved of that.

On a woman's solo journey, losing her mind is scarier than death. Because I don't know what they're doing with my body. It's not once or twice that there were people who broke into the late night room when they actually found out they were staying alone in the inn when Alphilis was still traveling alone. The first men who broke in were amateur people, so Alphilis never did, but from then on, even when he was asleep, he always remained nervous somewhere in his head. Prepare for the night raid. This is a habit that Alphilis acquired in spite of his morning sleeping personality, which he was forced to acquire.

Anyway, when he finds out his maiden is still safe, Alphilis just starts thinking about calculating the escape. I guess there was no one in town who could take her legs off that she couldn't even take her small hand off. I do have a knack for taking this off a bit. I complained about how I prepared the annoying stuff when my master first got this all together, but now I appreciate it. "One day the time will come to be useful," he said, not a lie.

"(I see, the trouble with taking it off is because it's like this time. Assuming this was an easy leg to remove, you were off the hook. Thank you, Master)"

Alphilis gives thanks to Aldrius in his heart, while putting out a small hand planting blade to keep it out of his hands. And when you slash the rope that was holding your hands together, your legs are also released lightly and you become free.

Check the condition of the body to see if it hurts anywhere, and Alphilis goes to see what happens to the keys to the cell. A giant man watching the state of it.

"That leg... that's special."

"Hmm? Well, maybe I don't really see the mould"

"Thank you for that leg. At first, the men who brought you here were trying to offend you. As I took the trouble to get my feet off, there seemed to be some noise outside, and they called me out, and it seemed like you couldn't handle it."

"I guess."

Because there were signs of a slight attempt to force his feet off. I can see how beginner (uvu) the alphilis is that much.

And the man seemed intrigued by Alphilis, who responded flatly without incident.

"Well... you have a medium temper."

"Thanks for that... oh, already! I can't open this."

Alphilis was looking into the keys, but it's not like she has lock-breaking skills. Alphilis returns to the wall like he gave up and sits in a grumpy mood.

A man who sees how it looks.

"Uh, what am I going to do? I can't get out of here."

"Hmm. Then why don't you give me a hand?

To the man's offer, Alphilis turns a curly face.

"How? You can't move, if that's all fixed."

"How about that?

The man is deeply niggardly.

"Anyway, it's whether you want to get out of here or not"

"Of course I want to leave that, but why are you inviting me?

"I can get out here alone. But I don't know what to expect when I get out. 'Cause I started coming this way."

"Oh, I see"

Speaking of which, it is told that the inside of the giant is on an isolated northern earth, far beyond that mountain where the closets were. The man in front of you crossed the mountain, I guess he just came to this side. I'm sure you don't know how it goes.

Alphilis was sorry to hold troublesome baggage, but I think this guy might be useful. In this unusable land of sorcery, the arm power of a giant man can be expected considerably. It would also be dangerous if this man had any stomach build-up for that matter, but Alphilis looks into the man's eyes and stares straight into his eyes, even though he looks giant and slightly rough.

He may be rough, but he didn't seem like a liar. Alphilis thinks it's okay to just believe that.

"So, what are we gonna do? Do you want to work with me or do you want to go separately?

"I may be willing to take a reciprocal stand, but unfortunately, it's this way that's in your favor."

"What do you mean?

The man wondered if the woman in front of him had reopened, but apparently she had some chance of winning.

"I have company. You'll be here to help by the end of the night. But I'm not with you. Even if we leave here, what are we going to do?

"I see. So, what do you want me to do?

"Wouldn't you like to be one of me?

"... Hmm?

Alphilis seemed to have something to feel for the giant man in front of him. On a sudden invitation, the man was even more interested in Alphilis.
