The Branded Female Fencer

Between battles, part 11 - Maia and Notice and, in the case of obstructors -

"Weird... I didn't know anyone else was coming"

"How many voices did you speak to?

"Everything that can fly in the sky. Except for the salpent. We hurried anyway. I have hardly even contacted anyone else. I didn't have time for that, and the handkerchief is the only one with that spirit."

"I don't know what it's like to be told that you're a dragon with all your knowledge... but I'm sure you're ashamed of yourself as a true dragon."

"Don't tell me, it's nasty. We are very creatures. Some disagree, others are unconvincing and unacceptable. I'm a total heretic as a true dragon. Still, I'm old, too, and I don't want to go through my own opinions as much as I used to. If my opinion doesn't get adopted, I guess that's the way of the world again,"

"You say sad things. Your opinion is too novel. Therefore no one can understand its contents."

"It is also possible that the way it is said and communicated is poor. But I can't just say that this time either. Only this time."

"What the hell are you going to say?

"I know immediately... but"

Notice answers Maia as she looks around. But Maia didn't miss the fact that the expression was gradually cloudy. I'm not blunt with Maia. She also had some idea of Notice because she was once the closest thing to Notice to the whole True Dragon thing.

Notice was clearly in a hurry.

"Dear Notice, this is..."

"Um, there's no such thing as a true dragon flying within 1000 km of my sight. What the hell is this?"

"Too bad no one's coming"

A voice rises from further above the two bodies. When Notice and Maia looked up into the sky, there was a boy floating in space. Maia raises a sharp voice in the dew. That should be it, too. Not that the magic of flying does not exist in the world, but its altitude has its limits. Extraordinary magic consumes a lot of magic, and this is beyond the limits of what magic can do.

"Who!"

"... you're not human. Not even a hero king can use the magic of flying enough to come here. No, I don't know if I can even orange zeble it. What the hell are you..."

"Yugdrasil"

The boy approached the two sudden bodies and replied softly. And when I laid down the black robe, I revealed its face. The expression was not the same faceless expression, but, as if in a bit of a hurry, also as if it had scuffed the bitter worm.

Yugdrasil sighed, Maia ignored and turned to Notice.

"It's a troubled true dragon. I thought he was smart, but I didn't expect him to get to the truth in such a short time."

"Truth? What is truth? And the other dragons?

"I told you I wouldn't come. Don't make me say the same thing twice, it's a waste of time."

"What the hell!? No way -"

He controlled Maia's freshly barking and spoke with caution as Notice watched Yugdrasil.

"I want to hear one thing. You didn't kill your friend True Dragon, did you?

"Absolutely. I can't and I don't need to kill. I manipulated their perceptions and memories somewhat, and let them decide I didn't hear from you. I've had a rough time, chasing top spirits who use metastases to travel. I've always been turned backwards."

"Whatever the way, I hope nobody's hurt. More than that, the truth... well. Was my hypothesis still correct? Again, the purpose of the Orange Bull..."

That's it. Notice keeps her mouth shut. Now Notice has become convinced of the true purpose of what Oranzebul is doing, and that he is the one who is right.

I don't want to admit it. Notice being drooled by reality. Maia glances softly at his expression.

"Dear Notice, what is the truth?

"... more demons, more unusable land for witchcraft, and the seemingly reckless mass production of the Orange King, and more than a thousand years gone, the family of disappeared high elves, and - when you think about it all together, you know the answer every step of the way"

"? It's refreshing to me..."

"It's..."

"That's all I can tell you, dragon in charge of knowledge."

Yugdrasil took off his robe and revealed his hidden body beneath it. Seeing that body, the two dragons also forgot what they had been trying to talk about until earlier, as they had seen incredible objects, and screamed.

"Hey, what kind of body is that!

"What the hell is that... well, you are!

[You guys have a mouth to talk about more]

When I heard Yugdrasil's enthusiastic words, the words stopped spinning from Maia's and Notice's mouths. As the two panicked faces each other, Notice tried to leave the scene as soon as possible. Not as good as this, he used a brace he didn't even want to use for more than a thousand years.

Did the silver exhalation, as with Notice's body surface, make a void, surely hitting Yugdrasil? Big explosions and roars echoed, surrounded by smoke and silver particles, as if a sudden accumulation of clouds appeared in a clear sky.

"(Go!

Make sure Notice squeaks with her jaw and prompts Maia.

"(But!

"(I haven't probably knocked him down yet! But this brace has the effect of scattering magic. Buy some time -)"

From Notice's back urging Maia only to move her mouth, she suddenly made sure to crack the smoke and made her way. Ahead, Yugdrasil, who would be intact, slowly pulls over here.

"(Go! I don't know what this guy's up to, but he's an enemy to us at least!

"(Chuckles)"

Maia escaped the scene without one or two. After that, it sounds twice, three times. I'm sure there's a spectacular battle going on back there.

But Maia didn't even look back and flew as hard as she could. Eventually, when the feathers flew to such an extent that they were wind-pressed, she looked back, realizing that she could not fly any further. I didn't see anyone there. Far enough away not to even see a trace of Notice's battle.

"(Have you come to the middle of the continent yet?)"

Maia wasn't as good as Lakia, it was possible to fly at considerable speeds. Not even true dragons have five wings that can fly faster than her.

She did her best to fly. It made sense not to be there, such as what follows from behind her. Maia disillusioned herself in the mannequin to rest her feathers and gently descended to the ground to keep them out of sight.

"(I wonder if Lady Notice is safe)"

I still don't have a voice. Maia sees it as a "silent" system of witchcraft, but this kind of witchcraft weakens over time. It would be a good idea to wait for the effects to expire.

"(I wonder what Lady Notice tried to gather us for. And what is the truth)"

"Notice was going to lead you and put you on the side of the Orange Bull."

Faster than Maia looked back, she had her neck twisted up by Yugdrasil. Maia is human in form, but her weight is true dragon. I can adjust my weight and mass to a certain extent because I'm hallucinating, but that doesn't mean it looks the way it is. That's why she doesn't fall asleep in a regular bed and pays the latest attention to how things are handled.

Yugdrasil lifting that Maia with one hand is far more unusual. Besides, Maia was very surprised at the response to what she had just thought in her head. Maia's question took precedence over the bitterness of being strangled, wondering if it was so easy to read her thoughts, which were true dragons.

"(Hey, why - what the hell are you?

"I don't care who I am, I'm never going to talk to you. Don't worry, I didn't kill Notice. He's the man this continent needs. Just a little too soon to realize the truth. This isn't good, it's not good. Ask him to leave the world for a little while.

And as easy to read as you think. Though true dragons, their thought circuits are not deviant and special and complex. And for me, True Dragon... "

"(What are you going to do with me!?

While Maia found herself in danger of absolute desperation, her attitude of strength did not break. Notice is a true dragon older than Gwendorf. Even Gwendorf has a purely combat capability, whose power is far superior to that of a lined true dragon.

If the Notice was easily hit, it would no longer be hostile to itself. Still, thanks to the strength of her mind.

But Yugdrasil spoke calmly to Maia, as if to abandon her child, when she realized that she was not going to listen to herself.

"I can't help it. As always, I'll have you try to escort the Alphilis and the others. She still needs protection in times of need. Alphilis is still weak. If the hero king attacked him, he would defeat without a single one. We're gonna need your help until Alpha Reese fights the Lifeless against each other.

I just want you to forget what happened here. Of course it's about me. "

"(Yes, so it's convenient -)"

At that moment Maia objected, Maia's body was frightened, and one bounced, and then she felt as if her whole body had lost its strength. As Yugdrasil spoke slowly about something in that Maia's ear, Maia's lid rose heavily, and she stood up fluttered as she nodded at Yugdrasil's inquiry.

"Okay, you understand... then go. You'll never remember what you were here again."

Maia nodded at the words and disappeared in Yugdrasil's activated magic of metastasis. Yugdrasil takes a sigh of relief when he makes sure there is no one around him.

"It was dangerous... if I made one mistake, it almost ruined everything. You Notice guy, being good is good, but being too good is a thought. I've used totally extra force, not at all... even though there's nothing to break extra into my power. It's all for when you come... anyway, is it a luxurious request that you think about it so much?"

Yugdrasil's expression remained the same, but his voice was full of relief. But no one knows about it. That's what Yugdrasil wanted.

When Yugdrasil again wore himself in a black robe, he walked and disappeared from the spot, grasping the fruit of the couscous, as he had always received from his nostalgia and on the side of the road.
