The Branded Female Fencer

"Line...?

"Sorry, Ray fan. I have no intention, so I'm not sure I can look you in the eye right now. If I saw it now, I'd forget how to live as me. So let me just keep saying this. I can't take you on a journey right now."

The line ran out clearly. Ray fans were more frightened by the words.

"Why? Because I'm not enough...?

"It's not. Let me be clear first so that there is no misunderstanding, but you are an impeccable woman. No, that's the kind of woman you'd be. That's how much I know."

"Then why..."

"It's hard to say that, but... okay, don't laugh, okay? I used to want to be on the side of justice."

Ray fans look up surprised by the words, but Rhine's eyes didn't lie. Instead, I might say that Ray fans have been the most serious of the lines they've ever known.

"Ever since I was a kid. I admired the knights because I believed they were doing the right thing. They believed it was justice that screwed up evil and helped weakness. That's why I wanted to be a knight. Simple, isn't it?"

"Even if I don't, I can't leave someone in trouble for a long time. If I saw a child being abused in my neighborhood, even my older opponent would have poked at me, and if I had a superior officer to do corporal punishment, I would have stood up to him head-on. I've duelled against lawless people, and I've been there to single out people left behind by the enemy. Under any circumstances, my body moves naturally. You're an idiot, Vrill, who died in the last fight, told me too. You're not for mercenaries."

"Then why?"

"I don't think a knight or a king can do that."

The line made itself clear. There is not a single stray in that word.

"The world is strange now. I noticed that. Most of all, there are other guys who seem to have noticed that. But I think I'm the smallest of them all. If we're gonna find out, I feel like I'm gonna get to the truth the soonest."

"But you don't have to do anything!

"It may or may not be. I don't have to do anything to fix it. Or maybe it's just a struggle to get over it. But what if I put you here beside me and pierced you pretending not to look? What if the discomfort I felt was real? At the height of my happiness, I don't want to have the dumb regret of 'oh, if it's working then'. It's too dangerous to move with you. So..."

That's it. The line got stuck in words. Walking with Ray fans, or maybe it's okay. Rather, it might help. If I could have wasted any more time here, I would no longer have said no to the line. It is the arrowhead that Rhine had in mind that if we were pressed any further, maybe we could really grab Ray fans at first.

Ray Fan leaned down for a moment and immediately raised his face, no more tears in those eyes.

"Okay, line. If you say so, I will follow it."

"... I'm sorry"

"Don't apologize. It's just gonna be too much fun."

In front of those lay fans, Rhine thought he'd have to figure out which one was older. Ray fans pull the hand of such a line.

But instead...

"What, exchange terms?

"Of course. You turned down my one-generation invitation, so I'm gonna get this many terms of exchange. I want you to sleep with me tonight."

"What, you don't know... yes!?

Ray fans rushed to block his mouth as Rhine raised a barbaric voice.

"Don't speak up!... Isn't that embarrassing?

"That's you. Isn't that a bad idea?

"It's not a good idea"

That said, Ray Fan slowly pulled the hand of the line and walked in the direction of the bed, guiding the line to sit on the bed, turning himself off the candle light. And he fell asleep in bed with the line, naked and covered himself in the line.

"Oh, you!

"Whatever you do, I won't complain. You can do whatever you want."

Ray fan's eyes looking up at the line were moisturizing, but still shining a strong light.

"So it's okay not to do anything like this. You can hold me. It's all up to you. If you leave me afterwards, there's nothing to do with tonight."

"You... that's"

"Yeah, I think I'm doing something stupid myself. But okay? I won't be able to do that from now on. About once, he said he did something stupid."

That's all I'm saying, Ray. Fan kept his face buried in the chest of the line, and he stopped moving. The line came to an idea what to do, but his mind was set. Rhine softly embraced Ray Fan and as he was, he also began to sleep loosely. I was wondering if everything would have turned out differently if the next few years had been different.

The next morning. By the time Ray Fan woke up, there was no line. When she checked how she was doing that didn't change anything, Ray fans felt relieved and unfortunate, but as soon as she regained her mind and costumed herself, she left the tent behind. It made me want to get some air outside.

As Ray fans leave, the line sneaks in from behind the tent. It was awkward to wake up in the morning and face each other. It is good to wake up in the morning and sneak out of the tent so as not to wake up the Ray fans, but how many had to go back and they were on their way. Needless to say, a soldier of the beast guarding the tent watched the distressed line as it stood or crouched all the time with strange eyes.

And then the sneak home line wraps itself around a shitty and knightly costume. He suddenly has a voice behind him.

"Hey."

"Whoa!... what, a dancer? Don't threaten me."

"I didn't mean to threaten you. Speaking of which, yesterday's confession was hot. You're more worthless than I thought. Don't you know the phrase 'not eating a meal is a disgrace to a knight'?

"Leave me alone! And how do you know everything?

"Naturally, I was under the bed all night yesterday."

The line was wondering where the dance slaves were going. This place is in the ranks of Groussard, and there should be no freedom. Rhine also cared about the matter, but at the end of the day, the idea was somewhere. I didn't know you were under the bed the whole time, even if that was the case.

"Bad taste, you. Peeping hobbies?"

"You're not. There's no place outside, and first of all, if the princess is about to be caged by the beast, I have to get out and help her."

"Do it! Ask her out first."

"I asked her out, but I don't think she can stand the demands of a pervert like you. Your demands seem to be disgusting to even hookers."

"Where did you hear that, where!?

"Don't stop by me, you pervert!

The line's desperate persuasion was also vain, and Dance Slave's misconceptions were not so easy to solve. Mainly because Nora spilled her old stupidity with Rhine with the drunken momentum, but she said, "Scatter me..." "Do what you want without setting aside my convenience, do what you want," etc., Dance Slave, who doesn't know Rhine and Nora used to be in love with each other, totally mistakenly thought Rhine was impotent as a customer.
