The Branded Female Fencer

Boys, Part 7 - Disturbing Shadows

"... hey... what are you doing here?... What is for..."

"Uh, you don't like me, do you? Then I won't tell you!

"... if you don't talk, that's fine... until you hear it out with strength..."

Lifeless concentrates his magic on his hands. Seeing that suddenly makes Doom humble.

"Yes, yes, I get it! You're a totally embarrassed king, dammit... to make this town an experimental site for demon kings from country to country."

"... what?

A servant lifeless also embarked on Doom's sudden suggestion. Because I haven't heard of any such plans.

"Why? Weren't the experiments taking place in the prairie?

"The tone is back, king. I did unleash a lot of demon kings on the prairie, but I was wiped out a while ago."

Lifeless opens his eyes. The demon kings who used the magic of Bradymaria to transfer to the prairie count 5,000. With all that, it would be an extra number to destroy the country. What is he who wiped it out?

"Who did it?

"Sounds like a lot of things. The same goes for Arnelianism, for the conquest troops of the Magic Church, or for those certified brave by the Alliance. But not just humans, at least not for this short time. If so..."

"I see, did the Flaming Beast have a dead effect"

To Doom's remarks, a lifeless appearance of convincing. Doom also makes me nibble again.

"Yes, yes. The Flaming Beast is dead, and the prairie, for better or worse, has no control. There's a guy who moved in the absence of the Flaming Beast."

"I see, though I have certainly heard that there are such But is that on schedule?

"What isn't? Originally, the Demon King's research also has the aspect of countering these people. It's not just an anomaly hobby."

"Still, I don't feel like I'm leaving my hobby area. But there's one more question. This Slasmund, was it? What makes this place an experimental site?

Doom seriously answers the lifeless question this time. His gaze is directed at Bünsnell.

"This place has been a silence lab for a long time."

"Silence's?

To some unexpected answers, Lifeless also pointed in the same direction as Doom. In front of them, the rough town of Bünsnell just shows. If you gaze at it, you can see houses with holes in the roof and floaters wandering the city. But only the walls of the town are splendid, which shows that the land is war-torn.

Doom continued as he turned to the lifeless.

"We don't necessarily mean that Orangeables took the lead and started this kind of plan. We had clearer means of coaching him, but each of us was doing what we thought we were doing. Silence in particular is remarkable. His hatred of humans is much stronger than ours."

"Where did you learn that?

"That's a secret. Besides, it's none of the king's business, right?

Doom makes Nico try. Lifeless observed Doom without alarm. When Doom laughed like this, he noticed recently that he was almost certain he was up to something.

"Whatever it was, Silence was using Slasmund as his experimental site for his own plan. That's why this town ended a long time ago. He told me we were trying to get our hands on him. Let's make the most of the town for the last time. I'd rather have a compliment. What?

"But you know what, there's an alphilis in this town. Orangeables forbid you to touch him."

"I know. But it doesn't matter."

Doom laughed at Lifeless advice with his nose. In that attitude, the lifeless fade.

"Are you... are you insane?

"If you ask me if I'm insane, all I can say is that I'm touching you. But I'm working on Orancebre's orders, too. I happened to target this town in it. It's a coincidence they're here. I thought you didn't even know Orange Bull.

"Then we should go back and report back to Oranzeble, right?

"I don't like it. I've been having a lot of breakdowns, too, and I'm getting a little attention from the Orange Bull. Now we need to be adults and earn points. So we have to succeed in everything here. If I asked him here if I could carry out his assignment, that could be a sign of incompetence, so it would be changed. Sorry about that."

"What are you going to do when Alphilis dies?

"Come on? The Orange Bull with the deficiencies in the order is bad, isn't it? I don't have orders to report the target, and I don't know where the Orange Bull is all the time."

So seemingly evil Doom's eyes, but obviously laughed. Doom is enjoying the situation. And wacko, I guess you're willing to put some sort of tease on the Alphilis and the others as an accident.

Lifeless was sincerely angry. Sure, Doom's behavior is seemingly unscrupulous, but it's not without justification at all. Indeed, if only in form, as a result of Oranceble's orders, the alphilis becomes entangled in form. But if Alpha Reese dies, something in Orancebre's plan is broken. Knowing that, Doom is about to take action.

Danger. It was about that that Lifeless thought. Lifeless thought that Doom should be the first to end it, but somehow I don't feel like it. Lifeless to question his emotions, but Doom unleashed the word first, as he saw it through.

"King. If you're worried about Alphilis, why don't you advise her? Watching from afar doesn't always work for her, does it?

"I'm a lookout. Such a thing..."

"Did you love that swordsman?

Lifeless thought he didn't want to see Doom's face niggling again, turned his back on him and left the spot. He walks in the direction of Bünsnell. From that back, he said, "I'll only wait three days for you, think of a good means!" and Doom speaking up.

Lifeless disappeared and the Dooms left behind. But the smile caught from his face this time.

"I knew you couldn't escape spiritual restraint enough to say hero king. I thought it was going to be a bit of a fight, but nothing happened. I didn't even realize that I called your master 'Orangeable'. Given that Lifeless also called it that, I guess spiritual restraint doesn't bind you to your natural temperament. Or is the Orange Bull surprisingly careless and a big mess, too? Or to the lifeless, was there anything else that bothered you?

"It could be about that white alphilis. But what if we were at war with the Lifeless?

To Osirian's words, Doom laughs as he comes.

"Isn't that enough to get away with it? But Gunz will die."

"Ah!? It's Doom."

"Well, if you die, you're dead, and that might be more convenient. You could be a good evil spirit... whoa, a bad evil spirit."

"I guess it's an evil spirit because it's bad. Use the word right."

"This guy's got one."

Doom laughing at that conversation together. When that laugh fades away,

"So, you're not gonna wait three days, are you?

Gunz asks Doom. Doom replied with a smile to the words.

"I don't like it, you think I won't keep my promises to my friends?

"I think so. That's what you are."

"No, no, I'll try to protect you. But no matter how hard I try, I might not be able to protect you. Look, I have no guts."

Doom laughed his ass off and Gunz looked at him with pleasure. But when I wasn't really tired of being with this boy, Gunz was excited. Gunz wonders when the hell it's been so exciting. Gunz wonders if this is what a best friend means.

He asks Doom how he feels like a boy.

"So, I want to recruit mercenaries in this crazy city. You're gonna wait for me in the meantime, right?

"Right - I'm going to start planning examples when it's night. Until then."

"Enough. That's all. Ah, this city can make 50 of us."

"Heh. Are you that charismatic?

Staring at Gunz as Doom was surprised. The Gunz laughed and showed it as he was good at it.

"It's not charismatic. I have a technique. And you know damn well what a common heart is. They don't even work for Locke. They always dream of fun. But it's my job to make that dream come true."

"Nah I see. I may have somehow figured out what you were trying to say. Then this town could be the right place, and I mean, see how you're doing. By the way, I'm going to start south of town. If you're gonna do it, why don't you just think about it and act north?

"Enough. I have an affordable goal."

Gunz nodded, his eyes turned to the town. There is a large mansion and a luxury residential neighborhood surrounding it. It's the mayor of this city and the mansion of the senior officials who also live in Slasmund. When Gunz sees them, he leaks such an inferior laugh that even Doom can't tear them up.

And in the meantime, the man eater, who has been silent, pulls the hem of Doom's clothes.

"Hey, Doom"

"What is it, man eater"

"I'm hungry"

Maneater talks a lot these days. Instead, I'm not eating much anymore. Man Eater seemed to have the wisdom to look like he had because he had eaten too much so far. In contrast, her appetite is falling.

But that doesn't mean you don't have a vision, as before, but you also seem to be looking for a proper diet. The Man Eater is up in one place as an evil spirit. Doom won't be looking forward to new changes in his men. But it's still no different that you can't help but fill your belly in a certain period of time.

"What do you want Maneater to do?

"Eat"

"Right now?

"Yeah."

Doom nodded silently, blowing her mouth as she drowned out of her mouth. That's all I see, Maneater runs to Bünsnell.

"Oh, we're pulling it up in the right place ~! Are you listening?

"I'm worried. I'm just gonna take a look."

"Please, Osiria."

Osiria slowly walks after the man eater and chases him. When I wonder if the figure has flashed for a moment, the figure appears a little further. Repeating that, Osiria went after Maneater. Doom, who would drop him off afterwards, looked like a father or brother watching his family depart.
