The Branded Female Fencer
Winter Visit, Part 10 - Negotiations and Solicitations
"Is this... magic?"
"That's the thing, because we have magicians. Sure, Lisa is helpless, because she's been on board here on Alphilis' orders. Let's go back to what we said earlier. You, why don't you lick our captain a little? You think she's gonna leave you helpless?
"I see. Oh, my God. You took one."
The line laughs haha. We looked at each other as if we were all somewhat puzzled by the way it looked. I thought the line was in a hurry, but I can afford it at all. In doing so, Rhine lets go of his sword and poses as a surrender. There was a dance slave on his shoulder with his hand.
"This is bad for me. Let's just say we make a big deal out of this place. So I'd like to ask Alphilis one thing, okay?
"Yeah, fine."
"How long have you been thinking about doing this?
"From the middle of a conversation in the dining room. I thought you weren't serious, so I asked Lisa to help me play a game. If Lisa could just hear me out, if she didn't, tighten it up, but I was gonna ask."
"I see. Then if I talk, will you leave me no tightening?
"Of course, I don't have a hobby for men."
"Then do something about this thin thread in the neck, too. My neck is cold."
"Luna, that's enough."
To Rhine's remarks, Lisa called toward the ceiling. Then a part of the ceiling opened and Renatica turned up.
"Don't you have to kill me anymore?
"Yeah, that's the end of it"
"Oh man, give me a break. I don't want to die that easily."
"... you're not even gonna do that."
Lunatica groaned in a voice that no one could hear, but when she recovered the ultra-fine wire that had been planted near the neck of the line, she jumped off the ceiling and stood behind Sa, silently as it was. It would be an indication of will that my turn is gone.
And Alfie Reese speaks to the line.
"Rhine, can you tell me what you know?"
"Fine, but before you do, do you have any proof that you're not part of the Arnelian Church?
"Why do you think we're the movers of Arnelian Church?
Alphilis calmly asked back to the line. Then the line shrugged her shoulders so that she could stand aside.
"No, I almost don't think so. Check it out."
"Why?"
"It's a mistake."
To Rhine's words, Alphilis sighed.
"I was frightened. Is that all you came here to tell me?
"But it's important. I can't fight if I can't believe my own thoughts either. That's the same for Alphilis, isn't it?
"Well, you know what?"
"More importantly, I think of you as such, but I've never thought of you as an idiot. I don't think you're going to be Arnelia for free. I see Arnelia as a successful user or in a cooperative system. Or you just said you were concerned about the terms of the exchange as being subordinate"
"Something's disgusting..."
Alphilis stares at the line looking frigid. The line of sight was the other way around unexpected.
"What's frigid about it?"
"Keep it scattered and ridiculous until now, even when suddenly you're praised"
"I've made fun of him before, but think of him as a distorted expression of affection."
"No more decent expression of affection?
"What, you want me to dictate?
"Who!
Alphilis slapped Dan on the desk, but now Ekla stopped him.
"Alfi, they're putting me on again"
"Huh?"
"That's a lot of conversation. Diplomatic bargaining is a kind of talking technique. Leave the story out of the way and in the meantime listen to their interests and what they need to do. Will they even use interrogation?"
Ekla stares at the line. Those eyes were not making fun of the line, they were just purely observing the line. Ekla's gaze is as nobility, or as an adjunct to Alphilis. Ekla was desperate to identify the person who said he was Rhine.
Rhine also seriously answered, realizing that Ekla was another person with sharp observational eyes that did not suit her age.
"Where's the lady?
"It's Ekla. I'm an assistant to Alphilis."
"Then I call it that. What does Ekla want to say?
"You must be a knight. No matter how much, its lack of clearance, its ability to perceive Lisa's signs, the art of taking Alphilis in the palm of his hand, and its ability to fight above Rosetta. He must have been a knight in more than that position."
"... so?
"I don't care why you're a mercenary, because the circumstances will be different. But I would recommend that you join this mercenary regiment."
Ekla's words give me a little bit of ambience. That was the same with Alphilis, but Ekla stood flat.
"Ekla, it's..."
"Nothing will go wrong. I'm a young man, but I'm in a position to assist Alphilis. You don't have to say vice president, you'll have a lot of say in personnel."
"Well. That's true, though."
"That's my recommendation. He considers it a necessary delicacy for this mercenary regiment. Shouldn't you?
"Atai agrees, Alfi"
To Ecla's suggestion, Rosetta continued. Now everyone's gaze gathers at Rosetta.
"To Rosetta? You were angry and rough earlier."
"I'm still angry, but that's because he lost his hand when he fought Atai."
"Hands off... Yep!?
"Was it broken?"
Tongue out like a child whose line made a prank. Though it didn't seem bad for that. Continue as Rosetta looks at the line with a disgusting look.
"Atai is not compatible with him. I'm sure you won't win no matter how many times you do it. But without it, he's strong. Be smart with your eyes and turn your head. It shouldn't hurt to be in our regiment."
"Right, Lisa agrees"
Lisa also follows Rosetta.
"Is Lisa... okay?
"I was definitely in a hurry when they sent Jake out to engage, but that intelligence-gathering ability is a big deal. Preparation is also nearby. I also liked the fact that I didn't choose the means. There seems to be some experience, and I think it's the kind of talent our mercenary regiment needs. Later on, we'll see if the purpose matches or not... but we'll leave that area to Alphilis' decision."
"Right..."
Alphilis thought silently at one end, but she stared at the line and thought. Good to know the line is excellent. But I still can't judge that personality. And whether or not we can get into our own battle. Even more so now, because we thought that if the line were to be at the center of our own excellence, the responsibility and burden would be greater. You may not be one of them to leave the regiment whenever you feel like it.
But did you perceive the heart of such an alphilis? Rhine spoke to Alphilis first.
"Sounds like you have some circumstances that you can't get out of. Alpha Reese, why don't we talk about it?
"That's not what I said to Lisa earlier, but you can't go back for the last time if you ask me, can you?
"Really, Alphilis?
To Lisa's words, the line turns to Alphilis. The eyes were serious themselves sometime. Looking into its eyes, Alphilis set his belly.
"Right... Line, are you ready? At the end of the day, you won't be able to join this regiment, but you might be in danger."
"Aren't you superior? It's a good place for me to live my life. One more danger, but it doesn't matter. I've been ready ever since I took the sword."
"Yes, then I'll talk. Listen to me."
Alpha Reese started talking slowly about the Aurangebulls.
