The Branded Female Fencer

Layer suddenly blocks Gail's mouth. Layer and Gail watched softly as they hid in the shadows. Then he observes as he looks around, with the long girl's neck floating fuzzily.

"That's crazy... I thought I heard your voice."

When the girl's neck squealed so, she pulled in at the same time as she heard cheering on the boulevard. After his neck leaves, he sees the layer as if Gail was frightened by fear.

"Layer, what is that?

"I don't. But I saw it yesterday. I don't want to get involved for now, and let's go to the East Gate to avoid doing well."

"Isn't it impossible to go to the East Gate without breaking through the boulevard there? There might be some monster just now, huh?

"Then let's use the bait. The building there, blocking the exit on this side, will only allow you to get out on the main street. If people get killed that way, the monsters will turn their interest to you until they kill all of them."

"You... are you serious?

Gail doubted my ears because Layer said something terrible. Because I believed the layer was a harmless boy. But Layer answered flatly.

"The best way for both of us to survive. Doesn't matter what else? 'Cause there's no other way to get to know each other."

"That's right, but..."

"I don't have time to get lost anymore. If Gail doesn't like it, I'll do it alone. Move that carrier over there and stop the teeth."

The layer just started to move, but Gail stood on the spot without being able to make a decision. Gail isn't ready to get that far yet. Gayle is a very normal boy, just a little more skilled.

As Gail gently followed after the layers, who remained standing for a long time, he hung out with the layers just returning.

"Ugh. Layer, I knew I'd help."

"Fine, 'cause I'm done"

"Oh, already?

"That's right. Let's go, it's a waste of time. Might not buy you much time."

That's what Layer said and he just disappeared, so Gail followed, confused. I saw it while Gail was running, but what the layers would have moved was obviously bigger furniture than they were. Gail was surprised how he moved it, but he wasn't very good at thinking about the details, so for now the question drove him to the corner of his head.

And Layer and Gail ran through the Bünsnell, where the firehands rose one after the other, sewing between people's screams and the building. Gayle was gradually getting horrified against the plain going layers. In insecure Bünsnell, there have been several riots before. Every time there was a fire, and I heard people scream over and over again. Gail, who was even younger than he was now, trembled each time, but at that time our own brothers, starting with Obles, came to comfort us.

Gail got used to people screaming and fires one of these days, but things are different this time. Firehands are on the other hand spreading, and people's screams were increasing their numbers as if they were Yamahiko. Besides, if it's such a massive fire, there must be a town vigilante or an army out there, but I can never feel any sign of it. Gail feels and knows how the Vigilante Vigilante Corps in Bünsnell is not in control, but even though he wonders what the hell is going on in this town, Gail still feels the need to get out of this city as soon as possible.

And then he came to a place where Gail could see that it was near the East Gate, where layers controlled Gail again.

"Things are weird again."

"What? Isn't it quiet?"

"That's why it's weird. This is the gate that leads to the biggest street in town. More people are supposed to be arriving..."

Layers slowed their steps and peered softly in the direction of the gate. That face, which is usually faceless, turned into something sinister for the first time.

"Gail, let's turn back"

"Have you come this far? What's wrong with you?"

"Look at that."

When Gail sneaked a peek at the gate as the layers urged him, there was a burning gate in his eyes. The watchtowers and gates are certainly wooden, but the gates, which also combine city walls, are mostly stone. Despite this, the gate was burning with tremendous momentum. Gail looked at the sight with such expressions as incredible.

"What, that... why is it burning!?

"I don't. But now it's clear. Someone set this mess up."

"How do you know?

"Stone gates don't usually burn that much. Someone must have oiled it and set it on fire. Besides, the buildings around here haven't gotten that fire-handed yet, but only the gates are burning with fierce momentum. I think this is more natural to think that someone intentionally burned the gate and took away a place to escape"

"Why not?

"I want to hear it from you. They're going to kill the inhabitants of this town."

When I hear that word, Gail turns bright blue. But for what, I can't even imagine the layer. Rendezvous with Elsia should be a priority. Earlier alphilis and lines aren't always out there. They're just going back to Arnelia if they can't rendezvous here, but I don't know about that on the layer. I'm in a hurry because I think the layers might be separated from Elsia if they can't rendezvous here. In fact, Rhine said the limit was until the gate collapsed.

Layer just thought of another escape route, but nowhere was far from this place. It may be difficult to travel with Gail throughout the town where the firehand rises.

"From the Northeast Gate... no, but that one looks like a strong firehand. The southern gate is far away, but the firehand is nowadays. But there's so much darkness, there could be those monsters..."

"What are you bumping about, layer? More than that..."

Gail was connecting words that far, looking back and solidifying. Looking back at what was happening, there was a cursory gathering of the monsters that Gail and Elsia encountered from behind. It's already night outside. I guess the monsters don't have to be in the dark anymore.

The layers had noticed the existence of that alien, but they had never thought that there were so many. I can't see the cut in the row that leads to the back.

"When this happens..."

"What are you gonna do, layer?"

"I can't help it, this way"

The moment Layer urged Gail to go out onto the boulevard, Layer felt countless gazes and stopped at the spot. Gail, who followed from behind, hit the layer and hit him in the nose with that head.

"No! What are you suddenly stopping at!

"Sorry, Gail. It could be bad."

"What goes first...?

What Gail saw was the face of one girl after another coming out of a narrow alley. Countless long necks, all with the same face, with their bloody mouths, speak to both of them.

"There were still humans"

"Yeah, I'm not human. Feed."

"Delicious?"

"Maybe. But I'm not big enough to be hungry."

"Either way, no matter how much you eat, your stomach won't be full"

"Let's just eat and then think"

"" Let's do that ""

Countless anomalies from behind. Countless necks out of alleys on the boulevard. And the escape route is burning. Layer and Gail were stranded in a desperate predicament.
