The Branded Female Fencer

"You found out, it's not your beautiful army. The Atasis. More or less, there are many places where looting in enemy land is tolerated. Are you telling Atashi and the mercenaries to have more good sense than those guys? Ha."

"Still, you're a woman, aren't you? How come you don't feel anything when you see a woman who gets raped?

"Nothing. Atai sometimes sells his body to men when he doesn't have any money, and that was tragic when he just started being a mercenary. I don't know how badly I've been caught losing. If you're a soldier, there's a prisoner exchange system, but there's no such thing as a mercenary. It's tragic when they catch you. Well, for a woman, you don't get killed like a man. Every land sees a woman and a man thinks the same thing. All this time I thanked my mixed body. Because it is extremely difficult to have children, Atai is"

That's how the Alphilis creeped out on Rosetta, who was so annoyed. She's been through something that Alphilis can't even imagine. That's when Lisa, who's supposed to be asleep in bed, opens her mouth.

"Red eyes... are you the rosetta with the red eyes"

"Oh, my lady. You know about Atai?

"Only rumors."

Lisa looks painfully pointing at Rosetta.

"Famous female mercenaries in the eastern region, taking center stage requests on the battlefield. Its appearance is also famous, but more than that, its skill is superb. You think you've had the experience to command battalions and have been active for over 40 years?"

"You know very well. I also call him 'Demon Swordsman' because some people look like him. Atai has a mix of races. Giants, Explorers, humans, Meurice... I wonder if there's even a mix of human-shaped demons. The life expectancy is long because of it. Maybe he's over 60. It looks about 25, though."

Rosetta laughs happily. If you do this, you don't even look like just a bright sister.

"By the way, the guild is rated a. I also have experience crusading demon kings."

"Wow..."

"Have you figured out how amazing Atai is?

Rosetta looks good at Alphilis, but Alphilis was honestly impressed. And Rosetta stuck in the alphilis.

"But earlier, you said something big to Atai. You, what's your rank in the guild?

"... e."

"What the hell? I'm not gonna talk to you."

"I didn't apply, this kid."

Talk to Miranda as she holds the shoulder of Alphilis. And Alphilis provoked Rosetta even more.

"Still, Atashi might be stronger than Rosetta"

"Ahem!? Still say it, you kid!

"Well, forget about that story. You didn't come here to say that, did you?

Alphilis took control of Rosetta, who stood up with his fingers up, and Rosetta was forced to dress with a lid on the rage that was springing up for Alphilis. Zetta's expression, which eliminates the place of emotion and makes her eyes black and white, could have been a bit of a sight to behold.

"... damn, we're gonna get this story straight, right?

"Be my guest. So, you came to this room because we need to talk, right?

"... well no. Why don't you guys join hands with Atai?

Together, Rosetta is surprised by the story she cut, but Alphilis encourages her story by controlling Miranda, who disputes it.

"Continue."

"Atai and the others had 300 at first. However, repeated raids have gradually reduced the number of people, and deserters have left. Everyone's mental capacity is at its limit beyond this. There would also be limits to holding a village woman and distracting her. These are the tides. I want to escape even if I can't, but I've never had the slightest chance. But with you..."

"Hmm, what do you want me to do with you guys?

Rosetta skewed her face as Alphilis said mean.

"Well, yeah. But that's for each other. Maybe he'll be raided along the way and in a state of confusion. It's up to luck to see who's going to die."

"Do you think you can do that?

To Alphilis' doubts, Rosetta just laughed.

"But do you have a right to say no?

"What do you mean?

"If I refuse, shall I ask you to leave this room? This room is under Atai's orders to force my men away."

"I think I was the one who helped that man earlier?

Rosetta laughed briefly at Alphilis saying he was a loser.

"I don't care how many of those guys die. What do you know? That's why Atai doesn't feel grateful for you."

"You're a real person."

"That only sounds like a compliment. And when I was praised for it, I said," There's nothing else. "

"... a villager."

"Exactly."

Rosetta shall nibble.

"The villagers also take them out. Those guys won't know what's going on, so they'll run away with food and luggage. Your legs are slow, and lizards will attack you from them."

"What a suggestion."

Miranda looked at Rosetta with contempt and told her to throw it away. But Alphilis was calmly considering the proposal.

"... I see, that might be a good idea."

"Hey, Alfie!?

"Ha, I thought you were just sweet, but how can you make a good decision inside? I like it!

Rosetta bangs Alfirice's shoulder. Alphilis put his hands on it a little annoyingly and said it cold away.

"Before I do, I'd like to ask you one thing."

"Hmm? What? You want to know how many people have experience with Atai?

Start making nasty jokes about whether Rosetta has forgiven her some attention. But Alphilis doesn't deal with them.

"If you're intelligent enough to send out scouts, no individual like the boss in your enemies?

"I don't know if he's the boss, but I've seen guys with only one big head"

"I see. So, what's the decision?

"I'll be ready, too, by dawn tomorrow night. Lizards suck worse at night because they have good eyes"

"Okay."

To put it that way, Rosetta left the room flying some more nasty jokes. And Alphilis turns back to Lisa.

"I'm sorry, Lisa. You're still like that, but you're about to leave."

"No, I'm getting back in shape. The medication Miranda gave me earlier must have worked. I thought it would heal if I went to bed."

"Yes, don't push it."

"As good as that, Alfi. What did the earlier words mean?

Gaze at Lisa as she asks.

"Earlier?

"It's about sacrificing villagers."

"Oh, that one."

Alphilis nods.

"Well, trust me. 'Cause I'm not gonna do anything wrong."

"... I hope so"

"Before I do, I might have to get Impulse to work as well."

"Me?

Impulse becomes human from the shape of a sword.

"If the enemy is a herd, we may need the power of Impulse."

"That's good, but Emerald can't shake me again and again, can he?

"What do you mean?

Alphilis looks strange without grasping the sincerity of the impulse. Impulse begins to explain to her like that.

"Okay? Spirit swords like me, if you say so, are huge chunks of power. Of course, the impact extends to the user himself. So if you just have it, yet, when you wave me as a sword, the owner unconsciously guards himself with his own magic. Then Emerald gets tired too, and as she waves me, I guess three shots is the limit at best"

"Uh, what a pain in the ass."

"What are you talking about? You can use lightning strike systems and the most powerful attacks in human magic without chanting three times? Where is this convenience?"

I do my hands on my hips like my impulse is frightened. It may not be my fault that it sounds prestigious somewhere.

"And one more thing."

"Do you still have it?

"It's gonna rain soon."

Impulse points to the sky. If you look at it, the sky is becoming obviously cloudy. The light will be blocked by the black clouds and it will rain in a few more moments.

"If you wave me in the rain..."

"That they all get electric shocks?

"It's possible, too."

Because Impulse said so well, Alphilis got spooked.

"You can't use it, Impulse."

"Leave me alone! What a word for the Spirit Sword!

"Then suppose the impulse can't be calculated"

Alphilis turns to Emerald as he holds down the head of the protesting impulse.

"I need you to check with Emerald before it rains."

"Uty, interpret"

"Yes, yes."

That's how Alphilis discussed it with something, and Emerald walked out the window into the sky at first sight.

"Well, it's up to Emerald later. Let's get some food and get some sleep."

"I'll see how the horses are."

"I'll make sure Rana gets some water."

"Well, I'll ask the maple to look for even the village chief. Say hello to Gwen, Daron and Lisa, okay?

"Fine."

That's how they started their own action to escape.
