The Branded Female Fencer

Winter Visit, Part 6 - Man of Hood

The place is Arnelia again. Hidun had come near what could be called a wasteland, on the outskirts of Arnelia. This is the shadow of a private house, where you can see the wasteland.

"Mascarade, are you there?

"Here."

From inside a private house, a woman speaks to Hidun through a window. The woman looked like she was doing all the chores as she folded the laundry.

"You were late."

"I'm sorry. It took me a long time to find the law of change in the joints of the junction until I and I entered the junction. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you in safely. Miriazal has created a troublesome bond."

"Really. Even though Doom's raid was necessary, how could he be more alert than expected?

"No, Miriazal is more cautious than I expected. After all, he can't be a glimmer. A smarter head that turns around often is more troublesome than its ability to fight."

Hidun was biting his nails with a bite as if not to hide his frustration. It is a habit that Hidun often does when he is annoyed.

"So how's your tail?

"Is that me? I do what I'm told, though, faithfully. I even got married so they wouldn't suspect me, me. Did you use a little too many beautiful faces?"

"I don't mind. In order not to be suspected, it is good to live with those of the lurking land. Marriage is one of the usual means. I guess you picked the right dull guy, huh?

"Yeah. I'm an idiot, just to be clear. You love me in a straight line as much as you are an idiot. Even Azuma doesn't feel bad about being a woman when she thinks that far away."

"Have your feelings shifted?

"No way."

Mascalade said, "Are you kidding me?" But I denied it at the tone of my voice, which I just said. But immediately undo the voice.

"I am a woman who is said to be Sconer and moves to rebuild a despised clan. As long as you promise me that, my top priority is the clan. Are you still suspicious? Why don't we open your crotch here and have an affair?

"I don't want it, it's a waste of time. I don't doubt your loyalty, but if you were pregnant, you wouldn't be able to move. Just be careful with that."

"Well, if you can't go wrong with just the day of the showdown, do something about it, even if you're pregnant. More likely in time for Arnelia's 400th anniversary festival?

Mascarade visits faceless. Hidun doesn't show it to anyone, he's nodding.

"Oh, this time. Because of the faster progress of the example phenomenon than we thought, we were forced to move forward with our plans. The Arnelian raid, which was impossible because of it, and the destructive activities in various parts of the country became conspicuously dressed. I would have liked to have gone quieter. As for Mr. Oranzebul, he wanted to at least pull the Alphilis back here."

"You're that mercenary woman. These days, I've even built a mercenary regiment, and it seems to be doing a lot of things. Is that woman that much we care about?

"Oh, you seem like it. I haven't heard the details either, but Master Oranzebul said he was doing a big trick for it. They ruined everything because of a fortune teller named Me Chatless and a man named Aldrius. But I killed the fortune teller earlier. Don't let it get in your way again."

"Then you can rest assured. The hindrances after..."

"Notice and Stelvese's movements are uncertain, but it's hard to think they'll get in our way. Even if I disturb you again, we have Brady Maria here."

"Then are only ancient dragons left? True Dragon and I made a truce."

"Is there anything else about Gora? But what can the five wise men do alone? If you care about that, dispatch Titania or Dragreo and it will collapse every gruzaldo. Now, don't be a threat."

"What about the Orin Pass?

"There's no sign of movement. I don't know what you're thinking. It's them. It's creepy, though. According to one theory, there are several magicians who are no better than lifeless? It's too unrealistic a rumor."

"Right. Is that what happens when there's such a monster?"

The mascarade panned and spread the towel. And I fold it with a hand I'm used to. She was no longer completely wearing what the housewife did.

When she finishes folding the laundry she took away like that, she wakes up the body that was sitting on the bed.

"Well, what about the way we're going to get in touch?

"Right. There are two more lurkers in this Arnelia. One is Bradymaria's man, Euwayne. Apparently, he can talk to Bradymaria without witchcraft. So we'll get him to do the rest of the contact."

"Then why infiltrate Arnelia... oh, to kill Me Chatless"

"That's the thing. I have a lot of names on my assassination list. I have a job to do undercover, and it's a waste of time."

"Then just go, because I'll do something about this place. The princess of your favorite seeker is doing better, and her voice is getting bigger every day, both within the seeker. The Seekers will be easier to do from now on. And apparently, we're sending people out to the mercenary regiment in Alphilis. From now on, I'm going to be easier and easier to move."

"I see things seem to be leaning in the right direction towards us. I was relieved to hear that. I'll take care of this place."

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. I'll work with Euwayne to make it work."

"Oh, its Euwayne..."

Hidun tried to say something, but Mascarade put his finger on his mouth to control it.

"I know. Don't trust people's men, do you?

"You seem to know. Fine."

"Oh, just one last thing. I didn't hear about the other infiltrator, but who is it?

"Never mind, he's not the kind of person who can infiltrate, and he's infiltrating for another purpose. We can't incorporate it into this side of the plan."

"So who are you after all?

"That's..."

Hidun only moved his lips and taught Mascarade. When Mascalade heard the name, he seemed convinced of Hidun's statement. And at the same time I felt like I had learned a little cold sweat. Aren't you too big to infiltrate, or how did you infiltrate? That was the question Mascalade had.

"Ugh, Gusu"

"Crying doesn't reduce my work! Come on, it works tight!!

"Ugh, someone's helping..."

Returning to the mercenary regiment's stronghold, Alphilis had been made to cry by Advocate Ekla. Rana brought tea with Emerald and Irmatal in order to labor the Alphilis (onions and leeks) in their place of work.

"Come on, come on, overwork is poisonous to your body. Why don't you take a break?

"Oh, Larna looks like a goddess!

"La Na, megami?

"Megami."

Emerald and Irmatal, who followed later, react to Larna's words and turn around and show them as they hold hands.

"Come on, do something extra."

"Mr. Fenna put in a good tea treat. You think everything is Seeker's secret tea? I think it would be more rude not to eat this."

"Yes, you're absolutely right! Emerald, IL. Stay here."

"" Ha-ha!

Alphilis called me and the two of them ran over to her happy. Emerald in a mood sang his proud song softly, and Ilmatal was obsessed with eating sweets. Ilmatal was in a diagonal mood because Alphilis wasn't around recently, so it was the first time in a long time that he started sleeping sweetly enough. And while Ekura was frustrated by her inability to get to work, she was eating tea sweets with one elbow and spilling stupidity on Larna.

After a pause that was too long for him to rest, he continued his work so that he could be driven away by Ekla, who had become even more grumpy with the Alphilis. That's how I hear more noisy than usual in the dining room downstairs when I hear reports that dinner in the dining room is about to run out and when Alphilis and Ekla start talking about going downstairs.

"Can I help you, Ekla?

"Come on. We did the inauguration of the dining room before this... and the welcome party for the new personnel should have ended before this. Sure, we've had more people lately, but I haven't received any applications, especially for drinks or welcoming parties."

"What, you can't have a drink without applying?

"Because Alfi doesn't know their fuss. May fly and I can't sleep."

"It's so normal ~"

"I can't sleep!

As Ekla began to get puffy and angry, Alphilis didn't say anything before then. The master of Ekra's mouth was not normal, and when I answered one, it was the end of five or ten returns. So Alphilis was beginning to realize that it was best not to answer anything these days. What a pity it may be. Perhaps the mercenaries are still unfamiliar with Ekra, who grew up as a knight. Normal lodging on the street may have rooms on the second floor of a liquor store, so if you can't sleep with some hustle and bustle, you won't be able to sleep much longer.

But the hustle and bustle downstairs had grown even as the Alphilis and the others cleaned up their last job. And when it changed, Alphilis and Ekla looked at each other.

"Ekla, this is"

"Maybe you should just go check it out. I'm halfway to work, but I can't help it."

When Alphilis and Ekla took their seats at the same time, there was a human who would open the door at the same time as a knock. It's Lloyd.

"Captain, okay?

"What's going on down there?

"The bastard who came in downstairs turned on Grapheth. So Rosetta's handling it now, but it's going to be a fight."

"That's tough. Maybe Rosetta wasn't hurt."

Alphilis went down early with Ekla to unexpected events.
