The Branded Female Fencer
The Witch's Visit, Part 1 - Kabuki
"Dear Tetrastine, did you have what you were looking for?
"Oh, maybe. I'm trying to decrypt it now. It's hard, but I don't want anyone else to do it, so it might take some time."
"Is it Master Left?"
Lissie corrects her residence while fixing her glasses. Tetrastine laughs bitterly that her glasses will soon slip off in the wagon. It was Tetrastine who instructed Lizzie to wear the most glasses, and Lizzie's eyes are normal. It's terrible because I'm simply making you do that in the mood of Tetrastine.
Tetrastine is decrypting Sakura's magician's notebook while Lizzie, the all-purpose secretary who can do anything, enjoys sideways struggling with her glasses.
Since holding talks with Miriazal, Tetrastine has been secretly exchanging information with her through her men. In it, Tetrastine had gathered information everywhere in an attempt to explore the roots of the recently recurring Demon King. With an expert in synthetic beasts (chimeras), visiting him did not yield results, and the synthetic beasts he made were a good place for crude products compared to finished products such as demon kings.
But it wasn't entirely unproductive. Long ago, Tetrastine herself heard from the magician that the Synthetic Beast landlord was real. Tetrastine gathered as much information as possible about the person, and he finally figured out where the person's workshop was.
But naturally, the place was already deserted and devastated. There are only a few notes of the man and research materials left in that place, which will thus be a hundred years old. Instead, it may be equal to a miracle just to have remained. But I've noticed Tetrastine just staring at the material.
"(Someone has definitely inherited this research)"
The magician - the man known on the record as "Farmas" - had a variety of experimental processes, but the results of the experiments that remained in his workshop were varied and only partial. I mean, Tetrastine imagines someone brought it up.
But I don't even know who. All his notebooks are encrypted, and deciphering everything was a pretty bone breaking task. Even if you've read it all, chances are you won't be able to solve the mystery. Among other things, Tetrastine tried to decipher the areas of concern first. This is the last page of the note.
"'I finally... finally gave birth to the ideal chimera! This is the future of mankind!!' Or..."
I wonder how Tetrastine could entrust the future of mankind as a whole to something created by man himself, but I doubt if this man named Pharmaus was sane. Most researchers and others may be like that.
"Phew, am I the same insane..."
"Oh, have you finally noticed?
To Tetrastine's whining, Lissy just scratches in.
"Right there, Lissie, you'd better leave it alone, wouldn't you?
"I don't know that. than that."
"Excuse me, I've been blocked on my path!
The carriage stops and your man screams. Two Tetrastine and Lissie eyeing each other there.
"It's an unpopular road, it would be a bandit or something anyway. Lissy, I'll take care of it."
"Whatever you say. By the way, which course do you go on? Kill them all? Kill them all? Massacre?"
"None of this is going to change a lot. Well, I guess."
"Okay. Then kill them all."
In the end, when I say something noisy, Lissie goes outside. A while later I heard a lot of men screaming from outside, but at the end of the day I was wrapped up with the screams of your Lord. Tetrastine makes a hit that Lissy must have threatened anyway, but he kept deciphering it without any regard. After a while, Lissie returns with no dirt.
"What's the report?
"I didn't have too many problems. I stripped them all and exposed them in an embarrassing position."
"I don't know which one is the bandit"
When Tetrastine is stunned by the usual things, Lissy snaps her fingers and the carriage moves on again. Will it go on for a moment as it is? Once again, one carriage rocked heavily.
Now Lissy and Tetrastine's eyes shine sharply.
"Lissy."
"I know. Now that's not normal."
"Who are you?"
"You've already been hit."
At that moment, the top half of the car was slashed off. Lissy lay down and scratched, and Tetrastine scratched as she grabbed the book, trying to slip downstairs.
"Oh, I lost some of my hair"
"Tetra!"
Lissy stopped the two swords approaching Tetrastine with the sword removed from the maid's clothes. The owner of the sword is blind with full body armor. It was the face of Hekatonkail.
Lissy's face is in front of Tetrastine because she stopped eating so much. Tetrastine touches Lissy's face with both hands like that and gently removes her glasses.
"You don't have to panic, Lissy. It's not that crisis yet."
"... excuse me"
"Hehe, enough about the glasses today. Don't hesitate to do it."
"So how about a course?
"It is decided. Those who defy me are torn apart."
"As you say."
That's all I'm saying, Lissy disappears. Hekatonkale also accidentally breaks the balance, but their posture never went back to normal. It must be because Lissy literally tore it apart.
Plus Lissie takes off her maid's clothes and enters a combat posture. The entire body is covered with clothes made of the perfect black material, and blades about the length of the knife to the matchet are fixed with a skin so that the blade can be equipped everywhere. Instead of calling me a swordsman, they didn't seem to stick around.
Nearly 20 Hecaton Cales surround Lissy standing on the carriage. But she is never frightened.
"By the life of my husband, I will tear you to pieces. Be prepared."
With that said, Lissie slashed into a herd of Hekatonkails and went. Even in that state, Tetrastine didn't stop reading books. I don't even look at Lissy. That's absolute confidence in her strength.
After a while.
"Chairman, it's over"
"Thank you."
When Tetrastine closed the book tightly, there was a wreckage of Hekatonkail torn apart as ordered, and Lissie stained bright red with returning blood. Tetrastine glanced sideways at the carcass.
"Apparently, these guys are chimeras too."
"Yes, I thought the rumor was that this was rampant in the Middle Plains, Hekatonkail."
"I see you did have those reports."
Nodding like Tetrastine was half-heartedly impressed.
"What does Lissy think of these guys?
"The movement is monotonous, but quite strong. If you fight from the front, you won't be able to fight it with ordinary humans or beasts. I suppose magic resistance is low for that matter."
"I see. So you just said unfinished products that still have room for improvement. Then they stopped a series of flows before they were finished."
"I agree."
When Lissy nods, Tetrastine creates a fireball in her hand.
"Let's burn it so it doesn't leave any trace, you and your body. If it's true, I'd like to take it back and find out, but it's extremely dangerous without any preparation. I don't know what tricks there are in the carcass."
"It's my pleasure. Just in case, it's good to have your man appropriately looked after and hired from the vagrant. It was a pain in the ass to explain to the survivors."
"Right. Will Lissie do your job from here?
"No problem"
To say all that, Lissy jumps gently onto the platform and lowers the one with the missing neck to the ground. And Tetrastine, all his men, set fire to Hekatonkail's body in unison. Tetrastine looked difficult for a moment as she saw the sight, but soon regained her peace.
"Ah."
"Anything yet?
Without the ceiling, it gets cold.
"Be patient, my boy."
"That's terrible."
The tragic sight of the surrounding area is also behind the back, and the two follow the scene with a fuzzy question. And then there are two shadows that show up on the spot after a while.
"Did you see that, Hidun?
"Oh. I see you have a great handkerchief, Magic Church."
It was Hidun and Anomaly who showed up. Two incompatible, but the other members are busy, so these two are on the scene this time. It was, of course, to make him head of the Magic Church to confirm the strength of Tetrastine, the supreme force of war. However, with about 20 hekatonkails, the lack of power seemed to be a good point.
"I wonder who that Lissy is."
"Well. I'll make you look into it, but at least as far as the status quo goes, it's not unusual strength. Anomaly, do you have a pawn that can take you down?
"I think it depends on how you do it. If you just possess that much power, it might not do much good to isolate the Tetrastine of the Magic Church."
"That's a particular opinion. Which Way Magic Church was originally factionally strong and unrelated to collaboration, etc. Do we need to rethink the operation?"
"Maybe so. But is that your opinion of who you once were? Brothers and sisters."
Anomaly said sarcastically, so Hidun shuts up. Anomaly is mean and niggly, but Hidun managed to cope while holding back his frustration.
"... back in the day. Besides, there was nothing there for me."
"Now what?
"Better than that. I'm still working on it."
Then Hidun shut up, so it couldn't be as anomaly or more, and he was still watching the burning Hekatonkail.
And Tetrastine and Lissie, who set the day slightly and head back to Magic Church headquarters. This time it was a covert act that we did in between official events. Even with all those fights, it is Tetrastine and Lissie who will have a meeting with the funders of the Magic Church that night with no food on their faces.
And then I went back to the office not to go back to the association, and I checked the report while I left the headquarters open. Tetrastine, but I feel like the entrance is noisier.
"What?
"Let's see how it goes"
That's how the moment Lissy tried to leave the office, there was a young magician who came in to report.
"Chairman, it's important."
"The way you panic is more important. Talk calmly."
"Yes. This is rude! But three witches came directly to HQ!
The young sorcerer told Tetrastine of a sudden witch visit.
