The Branded Female Fencer
Boys, Part 38 - Backstage
"Ha, ha, ha..."
It's Lunatica who's out of breath with her shoulders. And being assembled by Renatica, with a blade on her throat, is a struck layer. The Knights of the Temple sword was broken with a leg by Renatica during the battle. But how many times has Renatica struck down a layer that has never stopped fighting? At the end of the day, the layers were tough enough that Lunatica, who was unilaterally attacking, was out of breath. Still not so tall, where is such a force sleeping in a thin body?
Lunatica wonders what would have happened if this had been accompanied by technology, although it seemed good because Layer was an amateur in martial arts, swordsmanship. Renatica held her breath and asked the layer.
"Boy, what's your name?
"... layer. Yes, everyone calls me."
"What's your real name?
"I don't. Because I was alone when I realized it."
Layer's Amber eyes look into Renatica's eyes. With its cloudless eyes, Renatica was convinced that the layers were not the kind of boy to tell a boring lie.
"Layer, ask one thing. Why did you kill your people and the Temple Knights?"
"Because I was in the way"
"To what?
"For us to live."
There is no agitation in the eyes of the layer. Layers are telling the truth. Still, Renatica keeps asking questions.
"Who are we?"
"About a group called 'Brothers'. We were family. Cover and support each other. Eliminate those who stand in our way to live. Obles has done that, and that's my buddy's code. I was just following it."
Layer's words were clear, but Renatica looked sinister. It seemed like a clear contradiction.
"Conflicting, layer. Then why did you kill your people? Tell me more."
"Because they're not one of us anymore. I didn't kill anyone but my brothers."
Layer ran out of words even though he did again. There is no confusion in his words. Truth, I guess that's what you think.
The layers continue.
"At first I was going to kill Obres. When I heard Glass Live and Obles discussing it, I thought Obles was going to sacrifice Elsia as a priest. Then I was somehow monitoring Obres, but the wind direction was changing. Obles was trying to put up a bet to do something about us all.
I pulled the watch away from the priest's room to sneak his help. Because Obles knew he was going to kill Glass Live. As it turned out, Obles' prospects worked, but Obles didn't realize that Saul was going crazy back in the day. Saul tells Glass Live, and Glass Live intends to end Obles from the start, and I guess he sent Saul to the 'brothers' executive and let him go into his room looking at the time. I guess the most glass-live person couldn't have imagined that Obles had an artifact (artifact), and never imagined he'd become a monster after he died.
That's why I killed the 'brothers' executives after Obles died. At the stage where they cooperated with Glass Live, they could not already be called 'brothers' anymore. "Brothers" is a group made by Obles. Because 'brothers' are where Obles is, and they were where I am. And Elsia and Gail grew up like real brothers and sisters with me. I will not forgive those who afflict them. Glass Live was a little surprised when it came back to life, too, but if it's alive, I'll kill it. Because he was going to torment Elsia.
But then the question remains. It was not until Obres clearly decided to betray Saul that Glass Live turned him to his' brothers' executives. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been strange if Elsia had been picked up for so long, and someone would have cared about Obles' trend when Obles returned to Azit. A series of streams only seems to me that someone has pulled a hand from behind. Everything's convenient and I feel like it's all for the worse. "
That's what the layer said and looked in an unexpected direction, so Renatica threw the knife that was reflexively planted in her thigh in the direction of the layers' gaze. A knife that is played with metal sounds, in the air that should be nothing.
"Well... you get it. There must have been no sign of it."
"I'm not dumb enough not to realize I'm being tailed. Even wild beasts can do it. No matter how much awareness is erased, the traces of someone moving will remain."
"Though I never thought I looked back. I was particularly alert to the silver-haired assassins there, but you're also a horrible enough child."
It was the red-faced young man who shelved the beautiful hair of gold who showed up with the words. He had a slender sword in his right hand and wore an elegant white costume under his black coat.
Towards that young man, the lay speaks in an ambush.
"Who are you?
"I'm not as good as a name, but call me Silence. He's just a shitty sorcerer."
"Were you going to kill me?
"Yes, because you ruined my drawings. In my script, it should have been a more interesting hobby in a glass live room. The girls there were gang-raped by the people who started the glass concert, and they saw it as Obres aroused and scattered. And Obles planned to die himself in despair while being left with a sense of powerlessness that could do nothing. I've planted a lot of things for it."
"Bad taste"
Renatica accidentally leaked her thoughts, but the layers were more calmly looking at Silence. Layers speak to silence in exactly the same voice as calm.
"Why are you after us? Did we do something to you?
"No, nothing. It's just that this Slasmund has been my toy for a long time before the country could do it. I mean, more than being in this country, everything in this country is mine. No matter how I treat it, it's on my own."
"... I don't know what's hard for me, but if I take you down, we're free?
"Depending on what you're free with, at least one enemy will be fewer."
"Well... then"
Only the left eye of the layer is pointed at Lunatica. Renatica instantly perceived the meaning of that gaze and let go of her right hand holding Matchett, who had already left the layer. And the moment Renatica pulled the center of gravity off the top of the layer, the layer popped out like she could hold and bounce Matchett.
Silence offered the sword of his right hand in front of him, but it was too much. The layer reached its highest speed without any bitterness from falling asleep and struck a blow to the silence.
"Knock."
Silence increases tension on an unexpected blow, but the layer's offense doesn't stop. Flesh into silence so that it folds into a single piece.
Signless will be desperate to judge the slaughter of an unstoppable layer in his eyes, but that is not how he can mask a situation that has turned to defense in the first stages. Silence gradually gets worse minutes on layers that keep applying pressure silently.
"Ko, the... kid! I didn't know it was faster than earlier!
What a painful blow that Silence had unleashed, the layer stepped forward. And on a completely empty torso, a blow is made.
But right after that, it was just a layer. Was something wrong that only the layers felt? There was also a strange sound of slaughter. It was not the sound of tearing the meat, but the Renatica heard it as if it were metal. Sure, Silence's fine clothes are slashed, but it doesn't look like there's one scratch on the body underneath it.
Silence changes from a cool look to a look of hatred. It was the expression that the word anger fitted perfectly, and there was yet another bottomless hatred. Even Lunatica thought that the original was beautiful, but the expression appeared even more terribly in Lunatica's eyes.
"You did it... but I didn't think my body would move because the girl there hit me"
"I've already recovered. No problem."
"It's a big deal. Are you sure your name was Layer?
"Yes."
"Let's remember that name. Unfortunately, I have other things to do now. As soon as it's done, I promise I'll kill you in the most brutal way."
That's all I have to say, Silence disappeared all the time. Neither Layer nor Renatica knew why Silence pulled it here, but it is certain that it was fortunate. Because there is no mistake in being a very creepy opponent.
When Layer lets go of Matchett, he walks out toward Elsia lying on the wall. Elsia was also starting to wake up again and again to see if the effects of the sleeping pills put on the glass live would expire. Renatica talks to that layer as she retrieves Matchett.
