The Branded Female Fencer

Boys, Part 9 - The Uninvited

The Alphilis and the others have been waiting for Renatica since she went after the girl. Renatica will come back to us wherever we are, so I'd like to do some sightseeing in an otherwise unfamiliar city.

"See you in this city..."

Alphilis also has the best impression. So is the exterior of the city, but piles of garbage piled up there. It's full of organisms and filth. It emits a strange odor. Most places in the eastern country have sewage maintenance based on Aldrius' urban plans, but they haven't been introduced into this city yet. Seeing how it was, Alphilis looked up.

"There were a lot of cities that were definitely undeveloped and untouched enough to go west, but it wasn't as good as this."

"Sure. Historical Arnelian personnel also called on Slasmund to thoroughly manage hygiene, with the crushing of none. It was not once or twice that the plague actually became endemic. Each time, Arnelianism stopped me."

Elsa answered with a sigh. Before Elsa also came to this country, she has looked through the record of Arnelian activities in Slasmund all the way through. Looking at the record, Elsa also decided that there was little more she could do in this country.

This country does not have the resources to just care about hygiene. In order to control hygiene, we need to hire people who work underneath, but we don't have enough wealth to hire people, but it was the current situation. You can tell that by looking at people overflowing with the city. They don't just have the energy to work, they don't have the employment itself.

Although these countries also have the means of offering financial assistance and having their interest returned one day, in this country, where the nature of the country and the return of operating interest are not foreseeable, every country would rely on financial assistance. Judging by that myself, Elsa thought.

"(You're a very convenient woman to grow up in a ghetto. Yeah, it's me?

Elsa laughed all the time, but that laugh seemed to have been seen by Alphilis.

"Elsa, remember laughing?

"No, it's not like that. It's just..."

"Just?"

At those moments when the Alphilis, a buckwheat and a big bird descended in front of the Alphilis. The bird, which was large for the crow, stared at Alphilis rather than afraid of men.

Different attitudes than normal birds. Faster than Alphilis was uncomfortable with that behavior, the bird opened its mouth.

"Alphilis, it's advice."

"The bird talked!?

"Don't panic, I'm a demon"

Elsa responded calmly to Alphilis panicking about the sudden event. The bird naturally speaks to Alphilis with no expression and no obligation.

"Doom is coming to this city"

"Doom... who is it?

"Are you nuts, Alfi? This is the boy I met in every labyrinth. You've been wearing a belly monster, haven't you?

"Ah."

Alphilis remembered. What happened in a place branded a novice dungeon. Many mercenaries died, and they fled with their lives. It was the line that turned on the callus as a result, but Alphilis doesn't know that. Neither did Rhine bother to imitate what he said again.

Also the person responsible for Lisa. Jake is fighting him directly. The bird says the opponent is here.

"So, who are you?

Lisa calls to the demon of use. Then its appearance changed and it became that of a boy. Seeing that look, Alphilis and Lisa, Uty unwittingly get to herself. Those around him also recognized that the opponent was a high-ranking sorcerer, but they did not understand the fright of the Alphilis. The same applies to Elsa.

"Alfi, who is this..."

"It's lifeless! Why are you here?"

"Life... a hero king!?

Elsa and Rhine also raised their guard over the words. They listen to the story, too. The line stood between Alphilis and Lifeless, Elsa already wearing her own fist.

But the lifeless showed serenity and no hostile will with them.

"Relax, I'm not willing to fight now. I thought you said you had some advice."

"You know what I mean! The guy who did all that..."

"Until I did because I needed it. I'm not saying I'm not having any fun at all, but I don't care now. Doom is more important now than ever."

Lifeless words were quick. Apparently, I'm really here to advise you. I had heard that Alphilis was under lifeless surveillance, and I couldn't think of any reason why he could suddenly be set up now.

Alphilis' vigilance eased a little, but she decided to listen as she stood.

"So, what happened to Doom?

"He's going to turn this town into an experimental site for the Demon King. Do you know what happened after that in the prairie?

"... could that mean overflowing with demon kings?

"That's right. Now he's gonna do the same thing in this city."

Lifeless replied with a nod. To the lifeless words, Alphilis and Lisa turn bright blue.

"Wait a minute! How many people do you think are in this city? If you do that..."

"You'll be wiped out. The city will soon have an army because the royal castle is nearby, but ten demon kings will defeat it, 50 for each other, and 100 for the army will lose. And Doom would surely take the Demon King's way to win."

"For what?

The line casts doubt. But Lifeless also looked sinister.

"I don't know. He seemed like he was going to be part of the plan, but I didn't think he needed to set it up at this time. But he's motivated. Then it didn't seem like he was going to ask me to persuade him, and I couldn't stop him anymore."

"Don't be ridiculous! I won't let you do that!

"Then do we take him down? In that case, the agreement between Oranzebul and Gwendorf would be deemed to be gone. Then I can't help but follow Doom's side. You think you can beat us both with your current strength?

"Ugh..."

Lifeless said too much, and Alphilis got stuck in words. In her place, Lisa now asks Lifeless.

"So what do you want me to do? Somehow I can imagine."

"Run. That's all I can say now"

"When do you set it up?

"Probably even tonight."

Lisa kept her mouth shut. To accomplish the pivotal request, we need to hold back the scene of the intimate meeting that will take place tonight. But how about the timing of Doom's setup, the intimate meeting itself is gone. Lisa and Elsa looked at each other unexpectedly. I'm not lifeless to miss that.

"What's the matter, is there anything I can do for this country?

"You know, it's not this way."

"Yeah, you sure do. But I don't want anything to happen to you either. That's why I went out on purpose to give you advice. Take advantage of the advice, okay?

"I don't know. If there's anything else, why don't you protect me?

To Alphilis' bold remarks, Lifeless stared at Alphilis with a sharp eye. Alphilis wandered unexpectedly, but in temper he stared back at seriousness and lifelessness. Lifeless then looked away. Although it is a lifeless attitude, I didn't even care about Alphilis.

"... I gave you my advice. It's up to you."

"Wait, in the end your purpose is... ah"

Alphilis tries to throw a question at Lifeless, but as soon as he's done with it, he's changed to a crow and flew away. Now the Alphilis, who will be left lifeless.

Together, stunned by sudden events.

"What the hell, already..."

"Is that the hero king? That was intimidating."

"Yeah, I'm glad we didn't fight here"

"Hmm, did Lifeless leave?"

"Yeah, well... yes!?

A boy stood next to Alphilis at some point as the Alphilis and the others muttered. Look at him. Alphilis raises his bare voice.

"Yugd?"

"Oh, that's what I was called. Long time no see, Alphilis."

Yugdrasil looks up at Alphilis with no expression. The eyes were black, and clear to meet the deep will. Alphilis looked seriously at Yugdrasil again, wondering if he was such an impressionable boy. It's strange, but even though it's still the second time we've met, there's no such thing as hostility to him in the Alphilis.

But beside it, Rhine and Lisa had a blade on Yugdrasil's throat.
