The Branded Female Fencer

Arnelian forces were still conducting expeditions in the Middle Plains when Miriazal was leading the main force of Arnelianism to sweep the Demon King in the prairie.

This is a very small expedition from the point of view of Arnelian forces as a whole and less than a thousand in total. If we try Arnelianism, which provides disaster assistance, agreements, and arbitration to various countries, this degree is the soldier of everyday tea events, and it is not enough to take it up and make a scene.

But the expedition had some very significant significance in Miriazal. For one thing, the destination of the troops is Krums. This time it is a soldier at the request of the new princess of Krums, Ray Fan. He said the appearance of numerous demons in the territory was successive and the damage to soldiers was gradually increasing. Because of this, Rayfan offered to crusade the demons, so he wanted human assistance. Reyfan offered to take Arnelian asylum as soon as possible after his reign, so Miriazal also decided to leave the army.

Originally, the newly reigning gods went all the way to Arnelia, and it is a lesson to spend some days baptizing and benefiting the Virgin. In fact, it is one of her bellies whether they can fit Miriazal or not, but when we meet, the country is supposedly promised a great deal of asylum, something like a kind of benefit. The most important thing that Miriazal would say is that there are only so many sights to see, and Miriazal would prosper even if he did nothing.

But after his reign, Ray fans have yet to fulfill their visit to Arnelia. That is to say that the post-civil unrest is too busy to allow enough time. Krums' own standing is also still subtle in the Middle Plains, and few have plotted to overthrow the state or have resentment against the previous regime. For lay fans with few trustworthy sides and soldiers, vacating the country in that was also tantamount to suicide. Miriazal was also convinced by the circumstances from the line, so he received this slightly offensive offer.

Ray fans were pleased to hear that he could receive assistance from Arnelia, even though he doubted it. For her, Arnelia's assistance is one of the things she can do, and she doesn't always count on success. Of course, it was true that receiving assistance would help the country, but Ray fans had no idea that the Arnelian Church would do such a thing in return, and she was trying to read through the intention by herself, not knowing that Rhine was in Arnelia.

In the meantime, Jake was to accompany an expedition to Krums. This was Jake's first appearance in the country, and, depending on the size of the opponent, the triumph could well have been before the summer. This is unusual for students, but also for those who still belong to the lower grades. But it is also inevitable. In the results of this expedition, Jake is presented with a promotion to the regular Knights Temple.

The appointment of the Knights of the Temple by softening the status of Knights who will serve in the periphery was a special case in the long history of the Arnelian Church, but Jake has already grown to the point of crossing each other in the captainship of the Knights of the Perimeter and in the simulated sword, and it is about Miltre, Marion and Crudas that his opponents can also do so in Gloria's practical exercises. Jake was going to get the attention and expectations of the School of Nature, and even if he wasn't aware of it himself, he was no longer a sight to behold even the teachers.

And it's already a school rumor about where and how the story of the regular Knights of the Temple appointment leaked from. People came to Jake every holiday and said something casual.

"Hey, when are you leaving?

"Six days, no, maybe seven days from now"

"Do you follow the knights?

He said he's not a regular knight yet.

"Krums and you're still insecure, aren't you? Are you all right?

"I don't think that's the case with guys who give a little bit to the military..."

"Nice. How can I be appointed Knights of the Temple?

"Come on? You don't even have to ask me... it just so happens."

"Rear charge, explode."

"Right now, you're Bruns!

No different in his days after such momentum, in the morning he encourages the Knights of the Temple and the archaeology of the sword, goes to school, and when he finishes, assists him in his work as a knight within the Knights of the Perimeter. Then when he returned to the Deep Green Palace, he encouraged someone to do sword archery again.

But just as he never got tired of visiting him day after day, did Jake pioneer, he let Rascal, Linda, and Lotte stop him from pushing the waves when he was on holiday, and it was routine for him to escape from the windows and somewhere.

And Jake escaped as soon as possible today. At the end of the lecture, to prepare for the escape, I haven't even got half the story of the instructor in mind. Originally, I didn't even get it into my head much, it was a pungent for him such as a basic magic course, and I was in the middle of thinking about something sloppy such as trying to get Neri to teach me later.

And he has recently become routine to rest at a tree in a painting of a training ground. He is given a bundle of keys to access the training ground even though he is in junior year and most of the school is also given access to places due to events like the last time he was raided inside the school. It was also a sign that he was trusted by the school, and thanks to that he could rest slowly in a training ground where almost no one could enter.

There's only one person who comes in for his break.

"Hey, there you go again"

Jake was plotting to go to the foot of the training ground tree and fall asleep. I usually think about waving my sword, but due to the recent massive expedition and the meagre state of Arnelia, I'm busy preparing for my daily work and expedition, and I don't have enough time to rest. That's why I saw my classmate on the tree at the arrow tip that I was going to slow down today.

"What is it, Dora?"

"I don't know what to say."

Dora smiles back at Jake's irony as well. Nearly three months have already passed since Dora transferred to school, but strangely, Jake's disgust with that much at first has also faded these days. Dora doesn't smile as a grin no matter how nasty and disgusting Jake is up front, and because he really likes Nellie about him, there are lots of opportunities to face each other naturally.

Jake also admitted only that Dora, a beautiful boy who loved art and behaved elegantly, was popular and graceful. Besides, the music Dora plays is certainly first-class, and that's comforting to Jake's ears as well. Nowadays, Dora's whistle sounded like it wasn't bad enough for Jake to hear it during the break, rather in the sense of relieving tension.

"Dora, what's your class? It's definitely not my choice, so it's music history, isn't it?

"I finished it a little early. And the history of music is boring. How much does music cost to play a sound? There's no class next time, and I'm gonna skip out here like this."

"You're a bad guy, you."

"You're just a serious guy, aren't you boring?

Jake smiles a little too in Dora's loving reply.

"And I'm like a bard. City to city, road to road. It suits me sexually to cross. I think a musician is such a thing. I want to be a musician."

"Weird guy. You don't think I want to stay somewhere?

"That's what I thought. But I wonder if it's just once in my life..."

Jake thought he was an increasingly weird guy for the word. This boy sometimes has a strangely grown-up look. Jake cares about the meaning of it, but Dora is reminded that he has feelings he doesn't know how to keep.

Jake stared at his classmates, who had no great handle but this music, with a strange face. I can't even tell Jake himself why he made such a bad impression at first.

"Jake, you're almost there."

"Ah, oh. Right."

"I'm tired of hearing this question, but what do you think of this expedition?

"Right... this expedition is an expansion of the power of the Arnelian Church. Originally Arnelianism had also extended its power to Gruzaldo. Dreyan and his predecessors offered to help. But in the last war in the Middle Plains, the Arnelian Church failed at all to perform the arbitration that should be its role. This is also a matter for those responsible within Krums, but also for their ability to communicate with Zamwed on the part of the Beast..."

"No, no, I don't mean the general meaning"

Blocking Jake's description of someone's dealership smell situation, Dora of bitter laughter spoke to Jake.

"What are your thoughts on this expedition?"

"... I want to achieve results on this expedition and be promoted to regular Temple Knight. I don't know what the achievement is, but I'll do the task I'm given for now. And I'm gonna be back safe."

"That's an understatement. I thought you said you wanted to name ten enemies."

"It's not the knight's job to take the enemy's neck. I was taught that knighthood is about protecting people."

"Is that in the Knights Temple?

"No, of the Peripheral Knights, the old man from the Pingman said. But I agree, and I don't think I can accomplish anything without living."

"There are a lot of good people around you. I envy you."

Jake will never know what that Dora means. And Dora was not willing to speak, and all he did was whistle. But the tone was sad somewhere, and Jake just stood there silently and heard Dora's whistle melt into the sky.
