The Branded Female Fencer

The Magic Church was noisy. I can't help it. A witch who was not supposed to be involved with the Magic Church suddenly came to visit. And three at the same time.

The Magic Church is a place such as a library on the surface of a slightly larger fort at best. It packs the functionality needed externally in it, and Tetrastine's office is also in the tower, which is part of this. Books in this building are open to the public and can be viewed by anyone as long as they are given permission to pass through on the doorstep. Also, the general magic of the Sorcery Church is possible to learn as long as you live in the Sorcery Church, so the gateway to the public is, in a sense, more open than the Arnelian Church. That point makes reference to the misleading historical context in which the Church of Magic previously increased its secrecy.

On the other hand, the basement of the building is a huge labyrinth, as many magicians have research workshops in the basement. Its full content is not grasped even by Tetrastine, the head of the Church. Of course, he also has his workshop somewhere underground.

In any case, the extent to which magicians stand at the entrance for censorship is known in the Magic Church, which has a lot of such public viewing. There came in three women with tremendous magic. This was important enough for them to lose their hips. Of course, the beautiful looks of the witches would have taken their eyes. This is an extraordinarily beautiful three of the witches, chosen by Fairtoose in anticipation of such an effect. Himself, and Ingvar of darkness, Draphanella of the earth. Fairtoose chose a facial rash that was temporarily unlikely to be attacked because of the presence of factions hostile to witches in the Sorcery Church. Speaking of witches, I know as much as I know how to use beauty.

And when he made sure he caught enough attention on the front porch, Fairtoose shouted.

"I need help with the head of the Magic Church! I am Fairtoose, the White Witch, the head of the witch. Do you have Tetrastine, the head of the church!?

"You don't have to shout to hear it, Fairtoose"

Tetrastine comes down from his own office and shows up from upstairs.

"You want a touch before you come. Our young man couldn't help but be upset when he appeared without concealing such mighty magic. What the hell are you doing with all the witches?

"What if the sorcerer gets upset as soon as we show up? Plus, before you ask us what we need, how long have you been so great, Tetrastine boy? Say hello from the second floor to those who are above you."

"... this is rude, sisters"

Tetrastine jumps off the second floor. And then Lissie. The young magicians are surprised at them for flying lightly, but they are not surprised to learn so much about Tetrastine. Because I know how to use Tetrastine's magic.

And then a descended Tetrastine walks over to Fairtoose and kisses the back of her hand.

"I have decency for my men, so forgive me for laying low."

"Fair enough, I'll leave you about this. Is there anywhere else we can talk alone?

"Then go to my office."

"Fine, show me."

That's how Tetrastine and Lissy lead the three witches. The periphery shrugged, but each of the discerning had already begun to act. Witches walking leisurely in it. The trick is truly elegant and grand.

Witches are generally like legends in their existence, and many have preconceived notions in their stories that live deep in the mountains and always make something suspicious in a pot. Even magicians don't change that perception very much.

But the truth is, they live quietly and naturally in the area where they belong. In recent years we have urged people to help the inhabitants of the area, especially by giving them knowledge of medicinal herbs, so that they are actively involved with people, but it will take even longer for perceptions of witches to change.

But their way of life is not well understood by the sorcerers. Magicians study magic every day for their own prosperity or for the development of people. It is not a living being with nature, but a subject to be dominated by many magicians, something that must be fully analysed by theory. Therefore, the magicians cannot understand the existence of a witch who makes a direct covenant with the Spirit and has immense power, but does not use it for any purpose. That on the other hand is the same for witches, who are in no way compatible with the magicians of the Magic Church who are only interested in using the power they have gained.

That's why it's not normal for a witch to visit a magic church, etc. Was there an extra important thing - all sorts of speculation flying between the magicians? And Tetrastine, who leads the witch, reached his own office.

"It would be nice here. Soundproofing magic, and no one should listen to you."

"Fine."

"Let me bring you some tea. Lissy."

"No, fine."

Fairtoose took control of Lissie, who was about to step back to prepare her tea. I see a slight hostility in its eyes.

"Because you don't know what you can mix. No drinks, no food."

"That sounds terrible. I didn't mean to expose you."

"It's not what I found out. What you've done before is the biggest outlaw in history. You think we don't know?

Fairtoose stares at Tetrastine.

"If this is known, you are doomed. Many people in the Magic Church would want to chase you out of the throne of power, wouldn't they?

"Come on, Lissie."

Soon, Lissy had a sword from behind on Fairtoose's throat. Today Lissy is a knightly male outfit, so she's wearing a sword on her hips. I let that sword out without a sound, but I can't see the witches getting upset. They are quite prepared to take this opportunity.

When Lizzie was blamed by Tetrastine, she slipped her knife into her sheath and backed away. And Tetrastine also stares at Fairtoose. His innocence is nowhere near as in his eyes as in talking to Miriazal, somewhere pranky. He was the eye itself as the head of the ruthless church of sorcery.

But there's no evidence to press charges.

"The magicians will be looking for something like that."

"Right. And more unwanted sacrifices."

"You..."

Fairtoose glared at Tetrastine with an even stronger eye, but now he didn't gaze.

"There was and still is no one who knows our secrets. And always will be."

"... Tetrastine, what the hell do you want?

Tetrastine laughs ridiculously at Fairtoose's words.

"I'm not interested in the seat of power. But there's something I'd like to do with this status. Let me just say that now. You wouldn't be interested in a seat of power like this if I could accomplish my purpose. I'll give Esmeralda some slack. She's a loud woman, but she's one of my few favorite apprentices. But I won't let go of this position until I've accomplished my purpose, and I'll do anything for it."

"Do you sacrifice five superior spirits for that?

"What's wrong with that?"

Fairtoose and Tetrastine gazed at the coldly spoken words, but after a while the two sighed.

"... I'm not here to make this statement, Fairtoose. I generally do not want you to tell me that you have left the witch's duty unattended for a long time, and that argument is never compatible on the parallel lines. Let's talk more constructive now than that."

"... sad, but you're right. Maybe he's not the in-laws I could have told him. But now I also have a responsibility as head of the witch. I guess we'll have to talk about this again. More than that, now, as you're guessing, there's another case."

Fairtoose re-divides the story.

"It's about the demon kings that are happening everywhere."

"Is that so? This one's just working on that, too."

Tetrastine sat back down and there Lissy brought him some tea. Sip (soot) warm tea and Tetrastine leaks a relieved breath.

You also guessed half Tetrastine's response while watching how it went, Fairtoose takes a breath to the point.

"Then we talk fast. I haven't contacted all the witches yet, but even though I just spoke to this Ingvar and Drafanella and a few others, I already grabbed the anomalies everywhere. Together, the movement seems remarkable these days"

"Add to that that hundreds of demon kings are now confirmed in the prairies. The prairie ecosystem is unscrupulous. Not far from the prairie would be overflowing with demon kings. This is something I would be aware of if an organization had more than that. Countries don't care about the situation in the prairie, and they may not know anything yet."

To what Tetrastine calmly said, Ingvar and Drafanella's complexion changes slightly, and the two look anxiously at Fairtoose. But Fairtoose was also aware of such a situation, so it is extremely calm in itself.

"I see. Is things so chopped up"

"Well, I don't know. I have deployed several teams of the conquest troops of the Church of Magic in the prairie at once. If anything, they'll hear from you. So far, the Demon King seems to be operating only on the north side of the prairie. So, what do we do as witches?"

"I'm here to talk about it"

Fairtoose told me about Alphilis while he lay low. Enemy hero King Graham, dark black robe magicians. Tetrastine is listening seriously to each and every one of them. As soon as she finishes her conversation, Tetrastine slowly opens her mouth after thinking about it for a while.

"... I see. Even this one has to look into a lot of things. And if the greatest sorcerer in history and the most bewitched hero ever became the enemy, it would be true."

"Oh. That's why I'm here."

"What do you mean?

"Witches want to form an alliance with the Sorcery Church again"

Fairtoose ran out of words. Tetrastine expected it, but I think it's a difficult story to say again. He put his arms together and thought about it.

"The whole witch thing?

"No. The Witch Regiment is going to do this, but at the moment I have the consent of six people who have spoken to seven. I think there's a good chance we can reach an agreement."

"I would rather wish for it myself. [M] We can gather information about the human world, but we're no match for witches when it comes to the natural world. But what do the factions say?"

"What do you mean?

He gives a look like Fairtoose doesn't understand, but Tetrastine returned it with a fed up look.

"Sadly, the factions are cumming over power strife. If a witch makes an alliance here, who will negotiate with a witch, it will be an initiative. If that's all we need, we might even talk about witches taking our own interests."

"This is ridiculous. Witches are not interested in the good of the world."

"The problem is, there aren't many people with that kind of perception."

Tetrastine answers as she asks Lissie to pour a cup of tea.

But the alliance is necessary, and it's my responsibility to do something about it.

"No, you're honest. I suspect there's a back there."

"Am I not so trustworthy? Even if I look like this, I'm a pacifist."

"It's frigid when you say it. Show it in action."

Tightly pointed out by Fairtoose, Tetrastine shrugs her shoulders while drinking tea. And the witches take their seats just when they've done their errands.

"Are you going now?

"Yeah, it looks like this. I'm busy."

"Well, thanks for bringing us an important story, and here's some info, too"

Tetrastine takes the book out of her nostalgia and shows it to the witches. That is the book Tetrastine was deciphering.

"What's this?

"It's part of a magician's notebook I used to study about synthetic beasts (chimeras). Once it had finished deciphering it, it was already progressing in hundreds of years than the synthetic beast studies currently being carried out. The man is a genius."

"That doesn't mean..."

"It would be a study of the Demon King production currently under way that has become a hippocampus"

To the words of Tetrastine, Fairtoose salivated.

"When did this... come from?

"The record says it was 300-400 years ago. I can't say much about that in one book, but the research also seemed at first to want to apply pure enhancement as a species, as an individual. Looks like you've been studying what species are strong against harsh environments. But the philosophy of research eventually changes, and if there are no strong individuals, they are heading in the direction that we should make them from the beginning. Eventually, the sorcerer began to experiment with contraindications."

"... a biological experiment."

"Exactly."

Tetrastine speaks with a dark face.

"It didn't seem to take that long until the experimental subjects moved to humans. I went to the region and checked the records, but there were stories of multiple divine concealments during the same period. And more than 500 people actually disappeared during that period."

"... I see, an experiment in madness."

"If that's all, it's still no big deal. It's a mass murder, though. But the problem is that there are those who inherit the madness."

Tetrastine tells me that the room is full of dark air.

"This battle will not end unless we defeat that person. It's more of a top priority to take him down. And I wonder if their stronghold, or Demon King production plant, is a lot of secluded places."

"So that's where the witch comes in, huh?

"That's the thing. I want the witch to look for them. We'll beat you when we find out."

"Is it good? Say that."

"What is it?"

Tetrastine asks back to Fairtoose, who looks a little surprised.

"The magic church seems to be overburdened."

"Hmm. All the factions have been pulling here, so we have a barren power struggle. If you go out there, you won't have time to fight for power."

"Two birds a stone?

"I can simply say that it's a hassle for me to deal with them. Besides, it's easy to do something after that if the numbers are reduced appropriately. It works like four birds a stone."

Fairtoose laughed a little because Tetrastine said it seemed really tedious. Tetrastine speaks to Fairtoose as she tries to leave the room.

"Fairtoose"

"Anything yet?

Fairtoose replies in a slightly punched manner, wearing a hood.

"Be careful. Before this, I was attacked by no one, no matter what they did to me. Maybe the enemy's always looking at us."

"In the Witch Regiment, dozens of witches with each attribute meet together. instantaneously, but will have some of the best fighting power in the world. Even heroic kings act recklessly when they attack you there?

"The most frightening thing about enemies is that they don't know what they're good at. This is very unfavourable to us. You should take heart under any circumstances."

"... thanks for the advice."

To put it that way, Fairtoose and the others left the room refreshed. I can't tell you exactly how to be careful with Tetrastine, but I was wondering what they would look at this kind of behavior. But in the meantime, Tetrastine ordered Lissy to summon the heads of each faction, while at the same time deciphering the other books.
