The Branded Female Fencer

"Well... I have a request for Miranda, and I have a previous request for Miranda. 3 million without interest, you can lend it to me. Anything can be bridged, such as a request for a large mouth. Because this is what it looks like, and countries have a say."

"Really!?

"Except"

Miriazal turns his hands on Alphilis and controls her.

"I also want you to ask for one request this way before you lend it. What, it's not so hard."

"I knew it would come, didn't I? So, what can I do for you?

"Yeah, embarrassing talk, but there's been a lot of strange incidents in Arnelia lately."

There is a wrinkle on Miriazal's forehead. I guess that means I'm in trouble.

"Missing people are out on a regular basis. Well, it's a pretty big city, so I can't help it to a certain extent, but until now, I've had a few people a year. That's about the last two months, we've already got over 10 people."

"Don't you happen to?

"If the money changers do it 'by chance', they won't be able to float the missing person, their family and friends."

The look on Miriazal's face to say so was serious in itself. To that look, Alphilis also slightly revised his rating for Miriazal. Regardless of her tone and identity, she is still the ruler.

"Then why don't we help you search for the missing person?

"Oh, Lisa will be the main one."

"Lost and found is what I do best. I just want to say, let's settle this all the time..."

Lisa tends to, like, shake her fingers sideways.

"The church of Arnelia would have quite a bit of a back. There must also be a large number of people like Maple, for example. That's what you can't grab on this knee, Arnelia?

"This pokes where it hurts"

Miriazal wrinkled between her eyebrows and looked sinister. But the statement remained serious.

"It's an embarrassing story, but somehow I can't figure out who I am. No, I'm actually narrowing it down when it comes to suspects. But there's no proof. And because it's on your knees, you can't move your mouth without dignity. The case here is solved first by the city guys, and if that doesn't work, it moves in the order of the Knights directly under Arnelia, and the Temple Knights. If those who barely know that even the Knights of the Temple move, it'll be a lot more trouble."

"I see. I can also nod that this is the only person I can rely on if that's the story. Fine, I just took it."

Lisa thumbed up and insisted "I'll take care of it". After deciding on a detailed story one day, Koko returns to announce the visit of another guest.

"Bishop, the customer is in sight"

"Oh well. Speaking of which, it's time to discuss it in the evening. Call me."

"Shall I take my seat off?

"No, good. I'll miss you too."

The visitor who came in said so was someone who also knew Alphilis well.

"Excuse me, Fenna-Schmidt-Rosenworks and a few others, coming in"

"Fenna!?

Alphilis jumped before she could raise her face to Fenna, who bowed and came in.

"A, Alfi?

"I was fine!? I heard you were safe, but it's been a while!

"I'm fine... ku, painful"

And as usual, one victim is due to a hug full of Alphilis power. She still didn't learn anything.

"So the Seeker also has a missing person?

"Yeah, we were suspected at first, but there was also a missing person in the Seeker. That's more than one name too."

"That's what Fenna and I were working on."

Pull the alphilis out of Fenna and a paragraph Miriazar answers as she rinses the tea. Apparently things were more serious than Alphilis thought.

"Then it would be better if Lisa moved soon"

"So is that, but heal the fatigue of the long journey first. I will keep the progress so far in summary and in writing by the end of the day. It's quicker to move after you hear that. Besides, don't you want to see my dear Jake, too?

"Buffoo!

Rarely, Lisa was spraying tea. Of course it was Alphilis who suffered the damage. Renatica is a boulder, around well avoided.

"Hey, Lisa!?

"Oh, no. Well, a nice woman who drips water."

"It's not the water that's dripping, it's the tea"

Even in Lunatica's sober denial, Lisa couldn't hide her upset. It's unusual for her to get upset so far. Miriazal stares niggling at the look of it.

"It will be just around the end of today's class. Let Eliza show you around."

"No need, because the location has already been sensed. Let me go with Lunatica. Then I'll be rude here."

Lisa trying to get out of there with the damn thing, but Lunatica stops that leg.

"Lisa, one before you leave"

"? Something?

"Fenna, was it?

"Oh, yes."

Fenna, whose name was suddenly called by Renatica, startles to correct her residence. Renatica was pointing to the woman behind it.

"Is Seeker normal to have bugs in your body?

"What? What the hell..."

Lunatica, Miriazar and Kiko had already moved while Fenna didn't know what the question meant and was stuck in words. And the woman behind Fenna.

Lunatica moved fast. He had snapped both hands of a woman trying to strangle Fenna from behind and stabbed a dagger in one. And he didn't miss a moment of flickering, and he snapped his neck. Fenna was sheltered by her son, and Miriazal interrupted between the woman and Fenna.

And Lunatica kicks the woman with the broken neck. Miriazal praises Renatica for her speed of movement.

"You've noticed."

"There was something wrong with the muscle movement in the trunk. So I've been observing it for a while, but it was like there was a big bug in my body. That's all."

"Well done, Lisa. Notice... but I didn't notice."

"Very well, hey."

I hear voices coming from women with broken necks and not pointed in the right direction. With her neck broken, the woman stood up and turned to the Alphilis and the others with her nodding eyes. To that creepy sight, together, we raise our guard.

"My disguise, I've never been seen through, have I?

"If the beholder sees it, he will know. The sensors will be used to deception, but I'm not. And if you dare."

"If I dare?

"I smelled a strange odor from my mouth. In solid terms, it stinks."

At that moment, the focal point of the vain eyed woman stared at Lunatica unanimously.

"... I didn't know you'd say that word twice. Humans are incredibly angry creatures."

"That's not the line over here, woman. Are you the serial missing person?

"It's..."

"I think it's half"

Everyone, including the woman, gave a little bit to Lunatica's words. The Lunatica against was extremely calm though. Lunatica starts talking calmly as everyone starts to marvel.

"On my way here, I saw a strange person. Ordinary humans talk, move, shut up, change something, and there is a slight but definite change in their bodies. What I saw was a person who suddenly remembered an errand after a conversation on the side of the road or suddenly started running. But he didn't change his heart beat, his breathing, or anything, even when he was running. That's not human, it's against the making of the human body. Something that must have pretended to be human. It's worth catching, whether it's the killer or not."

"Well, that's an interesting story. Shall we tighten him up first?"

"... who, you"

Woman's eyes open to amazement. Girl with silver hair, in those eyes. For a beautiful look, cold brown eyes. A stabbing gaze shoots through a woman.

"Just a killer. Nothing more or less."

"... I remember your face. Remember."

The moment I said the word, I used defensive magic so that Miranda and Eliza could shelter the Alphilis and the others. At the same time, a woman blows herself up.

Splashing dust and blood smoke blocked everyone's sight for a moment.

"Knock."

"Master!"

It was Miranda who shouted. But her apprehension also made Miriazal appear slowly from her blinding sight.

"Don't worry. I don't have a hand wound to that extent."

"I hope so. Still, you blew yourself up without hesitation."

"I guess it's a discarded pawn. I've secured some of them."

Show everyone some of the bugs Miriazal grabbed on his left hand. Miriazal was pulling some of the worms out of the woman at that moment. And the Knights of the Temple and the ladies, who felt strange, rush.
