The Branded Female Fencer

This is a painting in the Blossom Garden. The magicians' demons are having a conversation.

"... don't put your hands together, do you?

"Heh - I wonder what you're going to do?

Lifeless and Anomaly seemed overwhelmed by the sudden offer to gauge Tetrastine's sincerity. Seeing that reaction, Tetrastine speaks even more carefully.

"You're right. Nothing more or less."

"... I don't think it makes sense to work with you..."

"What's in it for each other by joining hands?

In contrast to unsolicited lifelessness, Anomaly asked Tetrastine whether she was intrigued, blocking the lifeless language. Tetrastine returns the answer just to his satisfaction.

"You know this continent, don't you? I think it's a fast way to get the Magic Church on your side for that?

Why do you think we want to take control of this continent?

"It's something even fools can understand. Let's say your aim is to rid this continent of humans. I don't think there's any mistake in being a hero king there, but if you have a few of your friends in that class, the push will be faster until you reach your goal."

I dared say that Tetrastine felt full of herself, but the lifeless reaction was calm itself.

"... that's a reasoning full of holes... not to talk about..."

"There is a continuation. Well, listen."

Tetrastine also eats down to a lifeless loss of interest.

"Is there any other purpose to not do it, or does True Dragon pose a threat? In the former case, I consider your purpose to be the mastery of the continent."

"I see. What do you think we're gonna do next, assuming we're mastering it?

"Come on, you can't see that yet. Or is it... because you guys still don't have any more purpose, or what?

This idea was also a bet for Tetrastine, but I didn't see any reaction from Lifeless and Anomaly. That's true because we're passing through the demons, but from here on out, Tetrastine thinks of another possibility.

"(This unresponsive... no way, you really don't understand what we're doing. No, I don't think so. I don't think people with so much habit and strength will follow that much. Besides, I have no idea what they do with the continent. I was hoping I could grasp this exploration, but was this a waste of my legs?

Tetrastine also contemplates, and there is a lot of silence flowing through the place. It was unexpectedly lifeless to cut that tantrum.

"... Whatever your sincerity, we won't increase the number of unnecessary people... at least not now... I'll get back to you if I have to... wait a long time..."

"I can't get along, Lifeless. The president of the Magic Church is here because of this, so let's talk some more. Assuming you want to join our people, you need to make a lot of contributions. What would you offer me?

"Right. How about submitting half of the people in the Magic Church as donations?

To Tetrastine's words, a lifeless crow who was about to lose interest turned around his neck. As far as anomaly rats go, they're about to fall off the wall.

"... are you insane?

"Isn't that too much of anything to submit?

"Not really. I have no attachment whatsoever to people in the Magic Church."

Tetrastine says softly. To its cold, the servant lifeless also had a cold spine.

"(... this man, are you insane?

"Don't be surprised, I'm sane to be here. Besides, are you guys bonkers? That's where you get people, isn't it? It's time for a bunch of state units, but the information that something is wrong is starting to come out through the guild. Not to mention Arnelia, the Magic Church, and at the end of it, Olimpas are organizations that unite and operate the nation. You can't possibly not know."

"I see. Did you have any information that there was a rebellion in Krums this time? I guess I was just licking too much."

Anomaly says it in a way that impresses me, but in fact, I guess he doesn't care. It didn't sound like Tetrastine to me in the wind with amazing emotions. Or maybe I was really surprised, but with my originally clouded personality, I don't know its true intentions.

Nevertheless, Tetrastine did not break his attitude of strength. If you get licked here, you don't want to negotiate.

"So what? Do you take it or not? Is it bad enough to talk about devotion?

"Well, I wouldn't rush that. On the contrary, as for you, what do you want here? You don't want anything from me?

"I want more than a certain right."

Tetrastine said softly. Lifeless was more surprised by this statement.

"... you... you're the one who doesn't like magicians' habits..."

"Say anything. If I have certain rights on this continent, I don't care if I'm not long. I don't care if the guy in control of the continent is a villain or a monster. I'm also the president of the Magic Church and so on, because this is the closest place to my purpose."

"Don't tell me you don't have a body or a lid - do I have to change my ratings on you?

The other two revealed their discomfort as Anomaly laughed really fun. Anomaly's laughter really offends people.

"Nevertheless."

The other two naturally pay attention to Annomarie, who suddenly stopped laughing perfectly.

"Tetrastine, shall I take what you want?

"... say funny things. If you can, you can guess."

Tetrastine is wary of a sudden anomaly offer, but Anomaly continued to do a lot.

"Right... your purpose. That's Zubari magic, no, magic research, isn't it?

"Well, why do you think so?

Tetrastine returned in a state of calm. But a little. Just a little quicker than usual, Anomaly doesn't miss it.

"Heh, didn't your heart rate go up?

"You're welcome. Do you have a basis?

"No, look."

Tetrastine put aside the words and even sighed lifelessly.

"... you..."

You're wasting your time.

"Not really. Your heartbeat fluctuated, and you should have it at its core. More to the point."

The next anomaly was serious against Tetrastine trying to poke him cold. Where does the usual cloud go? Unusual for Anomaly, not much, but he seemed to have a serious mindset to confront Tetrastine.

"That's about all the magic church presidents have to do, right? At least we can manage a variety of magicians over there, so it's useful to know what your people are doing. Besides, as chairman, I don't see how humans can lead the magicians of the world.

Was it Tetrastine? You're one of my kind. I don't hate sacrificing anything for my research. For your own sake, even your parents and lovers would be willing to give it away, wouldn't they?

"Well, what do you think?

"You don't have to fool around. I seem to have gotten into each other now and feel very good. Talk about alliances, you can ride."

"... hey, decide on your own"

Shut up, hero king.

The rat stared at the crow with a murderous temper, and the anomaly controlled the lifeless language. Unexpectedly stopped the word in an unusual force. And Anomaly resumes the conversation.

"Well. But the hero king there is right, and I can't be arbitrary. So I want you to think this is just a personal alliance"

"Fine. Then the condition is..."

"You're the one who took it, Tetrastine. Let me present the terms."

Rats shake their fingers to the side. It was tetrastine to be irritated by the trick, but I put up with it a lot longer there. But that could have been a bad idea. Tetrastine was too familiar with Anomaly.

"From here, let's give you all the information we're currently pushing for on Hecaton Kale and Berserker"

"What!?

Unexpectedly, the lifeless tone returned and shouted to Anomaly, but Anomaly continued without a problem.

"Instead, I'd like you to have something here"

"What. About a thousand magicians?

"I don't need that much. Just one."

Say the word, and the rat will nibble. I was surprised for a moment. It was too late for Tetrastine to realize Anomaly's sincerity.

"Alone... no way?

"Yes, would you mind giving me Lissie?

The rats look like they're having fun, he laughs.

"It wouldn't be difficult, would it? Exactly as a force of war, Lissy shouldn't be equivalent to 1000 magicians. And don't let each faction shut up so you can actually provide 1000 magicians. By contrast, if Lissie was alone, she could rub it off as much as she wanted, right? I think my suggestion would be the most reasonable... puff, haha!

But the moment he said the word, the rat was grinning with his belly. Lifeless looking aside not sure why and Tetrastine angry with her hair upside down. And the words Tetrastine unleashed.

"... I can't. I can't do that."

"Hahaha! I knew it. Tetrastine, is that woman your weakness?"

I just wondered if Anomaly had seen it, but she got up and came. Yes, I'm not willing to form an alliance with Anomaly or anything. Using it as an excuse from the edge, the aim was to find Tetrastine's weaknesses. Annomarie nods again and again satisfactorily as her actions turn out as expected.

"Then you can go after that woman from now on, I see."

"... if it's something you can aim for."

"There's plenty to do. Well, that's not what I'm gonna do right now."

"Hmm. So the negotiations are broken"

"I don't get it. I'm not gonna let you negotiate from the start. More or less, is there any point in negotiating with a weak person? Human beings are nothing but experimental animals to me."

"If that's what you want, we can do it here."

The cat twirls and returns its heel. Rats who look at that back and mock it.

"You lost to a rat, cat"

"How about that? Your outlook, I'll crush it from one side. I'll remind you of the horror of the president of the Magic Church. Do it, Esmeralda!

The cat laughed and barked invincibly at the rat. Even if they roar, the cry belongs to the cat. But with that, it was one woman who showed up on an overwhelming battlefield of Berserker dominance.
