The Branded Female Fencer

"So, Alfi takes the master's offer?

"Yeah, I'm going to. I think I'll put the mercenary regiment's headquarters here in Arnelia. Besides, whether it will be a base of activity or not."

"I see. That's a good idea."

Miranda laughs as she makes tea. This is Miranda's private room in Deep Green Palace. While Miranda is away, she is chatting with Alphilis without paperwork stacked with the mountain.

After leaving the guild, Alphilis had set his feet on the Deep Green Palace and had decided to officially accept Miriazal's offer. When I told Miriazal about it, it was oddly striking to Alphilis that she seemed to enjoy it.

"So, what are we going to do?

"Apparently, even if piercing works are carried out, the completion of the building may be before winter. Then I'd rather go somewhere than stay in Arnelia until then."

"Um, is that Begrad in the east?

"Your Answer"

Begrad. It is also the land Aldrius has offered to go to Alphilis, and a city close to the end of the east. It will be a fairly old city in the eastern group of states but also has a thriving trade, with a population of over one million and the largest city on the continent.

Nor does Alphilis clearly understand why we're headed to that city, but she thinks if we go there anyway, we'll find out what it is. And Gwendorf advised me. I have to find someone named Hausen and Truffon.

"But Begrad is a long way from here, isn't he? Three big countries spanning, censorship and so on, and using an Aerial horse could take a month one way."

"I wouldn't worry about that. I have the means to do something good."

As Alphilis seemed to enjoy something, Miranda snapped her neck, but decided to quietly hear the results. Even as Miranda, this is not the time.

Miranda begins to glance at the mountains and piles of paperwork on her desk, even during a conversation with Alphilis. Alphilis also tries to peek into the paperwork, but it was hidden by Miranda.

"No, Alfie."

"Why not? Kechi."

"That's not the problem. This is all about the humans who are currently on the pilgrimage. If this leaks outside, it's gonna be a big deal."

"I won't divulge it."

"I know that."

Miranda also has a sense of being Arnelia's Sister around it. If this were on the table, there would be a lot of inconvenience. It is also a matter of identifying individuals who carry out pilgrimages, but some are clearly unacceptable under normal ethics for the actions they are carrying out or contradict Arnelia's superficial norms. If these problems come to light, Arnelia could be subjected to a variety of strangulations.

Miranda continues.

"I'm going to be busy launching a new department for a while now. So I can't accompany Alfi, but I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I miss you, but you're in Arnelia, aren't you?

Yeah, I'll call you when I get out of here.

"Then no. He'll be back here again."

Alphilis smiles and tries to leave the room satisfied. It was Miranda trying to hold on to that back a little, but she pulled in her stretched hand with the utmost thought.

"(Maybe this kid will soon go out of my reach. I have a feeling about that. What will I do then...?

There could be no one who would answer the question that suddenly surfaced in Miranda's chest, and Miranda would return to her work to shake off her strays.

The day ended with nothing. In the end, it seems that Lisa and Lunatica smoked and disposed of all the figures Calamity had manipulated as his own pawns during the day, and that the subjects Lunatica was not sure of also defeated with the help of the Arnelian Church. It was with an outside secret how he was convinced he wasn't human, but apparently Alphilis knew as much as the Arnelian Church wasn't just a charity, so he didn't ask how. They just decided to name each of those intruders "Bugs" and "Puppets (Big)," but even though the bugs can be sure that they have finished roughly cutting, the puppets are hard to discern and Lisa and Lunatica have decided to keep looking around regularly. Even those in the Arnelian Church are currently studying how to discern them.

Furthermore, Alphilis informed everyone of the outcome of the negotiations with Miriazar, informing them that his activities as a mercenary regiment would probably be before winter. Before that, I shall go to Begrad. And as a mercenary corps, she told me that she and Lisa, Uty, Aerial, Rana, Ilmatal, Daron, Rosetta and Renatica were the only ones facing each other and that there was still not enough of them for the application.

Miranda is an authorized Arnelia Sister, so she cannot be registered as a mercenary. Fenna was worried pretty much to the end, but as a royal of seekers, she told Alphilis that she would incur various responsibilities from now on and that her activities as a mercenary would be difficult. Instead, Fenna told her that she was considering sending some troops from the Seeker against the Alphilis mercenary regiment and that she would go out as its representative if necessary. Needless to say, Alphilis was very thrilled.

Furthermore, the entry of Uti, the Spirit, as a judgment of the Alliance, and Emerald, the Dragon Clan, Irmatal and Halpuia, was not particularly problematic, but she was not considered as a person when it came to Impulse, the Devil's Sword, and was not counted as the number of mercenaries.

"I don't care. I'm sorry I can't help you more than that."

It was surprising to Alphilis that the impulse seemed a little lonely, and kept uttering words. I didn't think we were very interested in ourselves, but she seemed to care a lot.

But it was also Lisa who presented the solution as Alphilis worried about the insufficient number of mercenaries.

"Let Lisa do her best on the matter. Either way, I can't leave here for the time being to clean up Arnelia's trash, and Lisa's best part if it's an information war. Look at the gaps. Spread the word about this mercenary regiment and the good rumors. Either way, if you are a mercenary regiment that undertakes wars, etc., you will need more numbers. That guild leader seems to be trustworthy, and I don't know how long Alphilis will be staying in Begrad, but I was wondering if I could see a little ahead of him in a month."

Lisa is right about what Lisa says, and Lisa is also the best at gathering information, so Alphilis decided to leave it to her. If he was good at gathering information, he thought the opposite was true. It was Rosetta, Lisa, and Aerial who gave the mercenaries the most hope of joining the mercenary regiment, who eventually decided that Alphilis would decide.

And with some future measures in place, Alphilis will be ready to head to Begrad. The faces to be taken are Aerial, Uti and Tasha. Aerial and Uti tend to be attractive, but Tasha has visited Begrad, which also provides directions. Larna also offered to accompany her, but Alphilis also decided that she would not use the curse, and she declined her offer. Actually, as an alphilis, I feel somewhat of a chastity crisis with her beside me, but I was somewhat anxious to remain in Arnelia only with faces that could not use any more magic at all. Larna listened honestly to Alphilis as she slumped and promised to keep various tricks in the building for her. I didn't ask Alphilis about any tricks until...

Furthermore Gwendorf declares that he will act differently here. I originally intended to escort him to Arnelia, but he could do some serious research on it, too. Gwendorf also seemed sorry for Alphilis, but he couldn't possibly be able to bind True Dragon's actions. Alphilis also knew that Gwendorf would act on his beliefs no matter what.

"I'm leaving, but they say Maia will stay here instead. There's something about Irmatal, and he wants to see a little bit about the human world."

"Although the original me, as the alias of Sky Dragon, is to see the earth's fortune from the sky high... sometimes I want to see the world from among humans. And if you look away, Lakia doesn't know what to do either."

"Stay."

Explain as Maia pulls Lakia's ear. Rakia also tried to sneak out of Arnelia again, and Maia seemed to notice it as soon as possible and it was hard on her eyes.

It seems that Lakia is particularly brilliant in the art of change among true dragons, and can indeed be illusory in various ways. People, of course, even small animals and ends to worms. They used that power to come into Arnelia. Maia said she used a grand "charm" technique from the front to allow the gatekeeper to pass, but I don't know if they talked about it in grandeur, Alphilis thought.

And there's another important point. This was actually offered by Maia.

"Alphilis, aren't you willing to keep Rakia?

"Yes?"

Alphilis was also surprised by the sudden offer, but apparently Maia is emotional on the back of her grown-up appearance, and at the same time is a mischievous child and a mistress, and Gwendorf is burning scattered hands. Although it is my consciousness as a true dragon, Maia has also done things to make me think that I have that sister and that I have that niece.

That's why she made the offer an alphilic one that didn't even really clap. I didn't know you were going to be told to keep the true dragon, nor did you get the imagination of a servant alphilis.

"Um, what's that..."

"I'm talking about Rakia. She hasn't lived a thousand years, and it might be a little early to feel like a true dragon. And who does she look like?

Alphilis thought with which mouth to say it, but I can hang on there for a long time. But it doesn't matter. Maia continued.

"So I think it would be better if I let you go somewhat free than tie you up too much. I don't know if I can live in a human being to try. - Oh, my God. Actually, I've lived in humans, too, and I've done human and lover impersonations. Oh, don't tell Brother Gwen or Lakia, and your husband, too, okay?

"Well, that's good. Are you sure about this? I'm glad, though."

"Right. I don't know exactly how it counts as the head count of a mercenary regiment, in the form of residence. Don't hesitate to use it."

"Then sweeten to your words, and I won't hesitate to use them."

When I looked at the girl that Alphilis got a good toy, I was a little nervous about Maia, too, but I thought that would be Lakia's medicine.

And Alphilis just headed to Lakia's.

"Lakia, do you have a minute?

"What?"

"Are you not willing to live in our mercenary regiment? I would never tell you to take part in a war or do your job as a mercenary. Oh, this is Maia's suggestion?

"Well, it helps not to have trouble with clothing and living..."

Rakia, who has become totally suspicious of her sister, stares at Alphilis like he stinks.

"So, what are the terms of the exchange?

"Oh, that's nice to talk to you soon."

"Just talk to me soon."

Alphilis seems to be having fun with Rakia, who gets a little bumpy.

"Lakia. Won't you be my exclusive dragon?
