The Branded Female Fencer

Heavenly Running Maidens, Part 1 - In the Shadow of a Peaceful Travel

As disturbing events continued in Arnelia, the Alphilis journey was smooth. Since entering the civilized area of the eastern part of the continent, the streets have been maintained, and given that until now the warcraft and inexperienced natives have penetrated the vast meadows and marshes, the journey of the Alphilis could have been described as mediocre in itself.

It's not particularly a hasty journey, so the Alphilis used to travel a little down the central street, as they once did, on a lazy journey listening to recent developments from street guards, or from mercenaries and merchants on the journey. Of course, Alphilis' actions combine the solicitation of new allies and the selling of mercenaries, but that's not how I met someone who seemed to be good in addition to my allies.

"At least we can't compete well with Aerial or Rosetta."

"That's hard. It's tough on the guy who's applying."

Rosetta laughs at the tease. In fact, some offered to take part in the journey, but the majority were lowly concerned that the Alphilis and the others were mostly women, and suddenly those people were driven back by Aerial and Rosetta's terrible eyes.

"But Alfie, that's not all the mercenaries need, is it?

"I know, Lisa. I want people who run and back the regiment, or tacticians, or magicians. I wonder if some of the others are good at reconnaissance."

"You've been thinking about it."

Rosetta is nodding.

"Atai has actually built a mercenary regiment."

"Was it a story that came out last night? You just heard it."

"The continuation of that story. I made it fine, but it didn't last a year. I can't afford to keep the regiment. It costs money unexpectedly. Atai doesn't like the details around here."

"It's a big mess, Big Woman Two."

Rosetta tries to poke Lisa because Lisa says she hates her, but Lisa scratches her as usual. Rosetta is just as frustrating as any other alphilis, but she also says back the loss and the rosetta.

"Even if it looks like this, I'm thinking about old age, Atai! You're saving up, aren't you?

"Well, why don't you give me that money to build a mercenary regiment?"

"I'm not kidding! You don't have the right to do that. Most..."

Soon after Rosetta goes in to throw up and throw it away, she looks at Alphilis and laughs disgustingly.

"If Alfi's going to take care of all of Atai, apart from talking about it?

"What do you mean?

"Here's the thing."

Rosetta puts her arms around Alphilis' shoulder and breathes in her ears. Alphilis accidentally said to the sudden event, "Wow!" And so on and so forth I raised an odd voice. People through the streets turn to her for something.

"Hey, what are you doing, Rosetta!

"Hey, if you're going to do anything about Atai to your mistress, I thought you could give her some money. In fact, you lost to Alphilis once, and you were going to do anything. And even if it looks like this, Atai is the type to do everything."

"Not between women!

"It doesn't matter. Atai is a good-looking mouth, man or woman."

Rosetta is making fun of Alphilis, but Rosetta tries to strike further at Alphilis, who turns her face bright red, but feels terribly murderous from behind.

"Rosetta..."

"La, lana."

"You don't give up your mistress's seat easily, do you?

"Well, you had an unexpectedly strong enemy."

"I don't have a seat like that!

Alphilis screamed as his face turned bright red, but the two of them had no longer heard.

"Hmm. Are you going to be able to beat Atai the Hundred Wars smell with technology?

"That's the one thing I don't underestimate. A bright spot, a combination on the ground, wouldn't beat me, but you think you can beat me to draw the blood of a succubus on the floor at night?

"Damn, Atai is better up there in the force of the body"

"It's not something you should be big about. Sometimes they feel intimidated."

"Don't you have such a thin body and no strength? What if the other guy asks for it all night?

"Whatever it takes to do it. I'm just tired of being in such a good position."

"Say it! Do you want to wear black and white next time?

"I have decided to win, but if Rosetta is willing to take it and stand"

Miranda broke into the two arguing on the horse.

"Yes, that's it."

"What, even though it's a good place"

"Let's not forget that this is the middle of the street. Everybody's looking at us, right?

When Rosetta looks around, her surroundings panic and look away. Rosetta looking around enjoyably at the sight, but Lisa sighed one.

"Yareyare, now there may be unparalleled rumors spreading by the time you get to Arnelia..."

Lisa said, "No treatment," but she shook her head to the side.

It was in a town called Huddle that the Alphilis decided to take the inn. It has a large population there and is a town the size of which has no difficulty with travel support. At this rate, it won't take 10 days to reach Arnelia.

When we got to town, everyone went out to a place of thought. Alfirice and Lisa accompanied Lunatica and took Aerial's horse out instead of the carriage for a big goods buyout, and Rana took Utility and Emerald and Impulse and Aerial out to buy out small items and repair clothing and armaments.

Maple took a different course of action because he thought he had business to do, and Miranda and Rosetta went out for a drink in the name of gathering information. I'm sure the two of you who care will go to the casino as well. Alphilis, who at first stopped Sister Miranda from being in the casino, etc., also seems to have given up recently. For God's sake, I just hope you don't go any stranger. And Gwendorf and Irmatal, Daron, are voicemails.

"Daron, what's going on with the Giants these days?

Gwendorf speaks to Daron. Ilmatal went out after Alphilis fell asleep, so it's quiet stuff. Normally even young dragons don't get this much sleep, but rapidly growing Irmatal shouldn't even be able to take the human form yet.

Is it that recoil, she was spending quite a bit of time sleeping. Still, I rarely disarm people, so I may no longer assume that I'm half human. While Gwendorf thought this wasn't a very good trend to be honest, he also wondered if he would twist and bend the will of the toddler, making him like it. Also, when I was younger, I even laughed at myself.

In that, Daron was answering with a quiet voice unmatched by his body.

"There is no particular change. Because giants and elves don't like change."

"Right. I haven't even shown my face on the northern earth in nearly a thousand years. I didn't even know what the closet said. I still can't seem to call myself a good True Dragon."

"I can't say anything. Because it's a terrible thing to know what you're doing as a true dragon."

Daron bows his head respectfully. Giants and elves are a race that reveres true dragons more than humans. Though Daron wouldn't put it on the surface either, he had a fair amount of respect in his heart for Gwendorf. Even though Gwendorf feels that way, he doesn't like being respected, so he's spent so much time here without knowing how to deal with it.

"Right, so the land of the north is peaceful?

"I don't know if I can say enough."

"What does that mean?

In unexpected reply, Gwendorf narrows his eyes. Daron answers as slowly as ever.

"The northern earth is a land where creatures, including demons, have been properly divided. The environment is so harsh that every organism is desperate to live. We cannot afford to devote our strength to futile strife. Occasionally, creatures detached from the population come into contact with others, but that's basically all. It would have been nice if our settlement had a visit once a year as well. It is."

"Is that it?

"Until just before I left the interior, there were successive raids of various organisms. 10 days is not available, such as when there are many."

Gwendorf's face blinds. It seemed to embarrass my uncertainty at the same time as purely worrying.

"Do you know what caused this?

"I don't know. It doesn't matter what we do, we just live and perish with nature. Even if the inside is destroyed by the raid of warcraft and demons, many will obey if it is by the will of nature."

But some people, like your wife, don't make it good.

"Exactly."

Daron silenced in the words. Silence wraps up the room, or maybe it's giving his wife some thought somewhere.

After a long silence, Daron slowly opened his mouth.

"This is my idea..."

"? What?

"If the demons and warcraft that raided the inside didn't move spontaneously... or maybe they chased the habitat"

Daron's words were not well-founded. But Gwendorf was convinced that it might be the closest thing to the truth.

Maple, acting alone, was out of town and walking in the woods. I could have gone back to Arnelia headquarters once, originally, but when Rosetta and Renatica reported that they had become companions, they had been instructed to "accompany them as they were and continue to monitor them". But every time I heard the instructions, there was a maple somewhere in my mind that was reassuring.

"'Cause it's so cozy over there"

Maple squeaks pompously. Though a ninja would have to have even a friend on his hands if it were an order, it was very doubtful that he could carry it out without hesitation if he were now provisionally ordered to "kill the Alphilis and the others". Maple had recently come to think that he was worthless as he was.

Because he was thinking about it, Maple realizes he was taken behind it at some point.

"Ah."

"Maple, isn't it sagging?

Behind him stood Zi, his boss. Place your hands gently on the shoulders of the maple, even as you poke a blade in your throat from behind.

"If I were your enemy, I'd be dead."

"... I'm sorry"

See the maple soak up, uhh, and one breath of zi.

"I wonder what the hell is going on. I can't believe you're so cautious."

"We will not make excuses. But what the hell kind of wind blows Sister Zi right here?

"I'm worried about the assassin in the report. If we have to, we're here to dispose of it."

If the maple noticed, there were many more signs around. It is a silent executive force that mainly undertakes assassinations and the like.

"This is"

"We can't let Arnelia in those who may not be good at it. It's natural to strike a hand in advance, isn't it?

"But if you do that, everyone will be sad!

Maple objected, but at that time Maple felt the killing spirit that would shoot him through and he shrugged. Behind you, there's an even bigger one.
