The Branded Female Fencer

"Alphilis!"

"Ugh... what?

The next day, Alphilis woke up with the voice of the line he had been yelling at. Alphilis got out of bed rubbing his heavy eyelid still. Wearing an inner instead of a sleeping roll, it was just an alphilis under underwear, but the line didn't even look at her outfit like that, and she was absurd in her voice.

"I got this letter in Inn today! You, took Princess Muse's request!?

"Ugh... yeah, was it?

"Don't fall asleep!

Rhine shook the shoulder of the still uncluttered alphilis of his head and peered into its eyes forcefully.

"We must have agreed not to take the princess's request. It is good that you, the captain of the regiment, decide not to ask that opinion. But this request is not good. If you make a mistake, you can't get caught up in a home commotion in one country. We don't have enough season or preparation to get involved in such an important matter. Do you want me to give you a satisfactory explanation of why I took this request?

"Ugh... speaking of which... why?

"Hey, you, wake up."

"A little, okay?

It was Larna who showed up to push the line. She was picked up by Lakia yesterday, but didn't know where Rana was in Arnelia, so it was midnight when she came back to Begrad looking for Rana. Lachia's eyes are incomparably better than those of men, but Arnelia nevertheless has wide eyes at night, and in the middle of the night it is hard to find them while asking the Spirit.

By the time Lakia returned with Rana, Alphilis had already gone to bed, but Lakia had forcefully stopped and gained nothing as Rana unnaturally tried to say hello. By the way, if Rakia hadn't stopped it, I'm not sure what happened.

And in the morning, Larna responded to the slightly larger footsteps of the line, making a face. As the Larna peered into Alphilis' face, she stared into its eyes with serious eyes. Speaking of Alpha Reese, he still looks like a fool.

The line is irritating to the two people who stay put for a while and don't move. While doing so, the rest of us had gathered in the Alphilis room. The voice of the line was heard in other rooms.

"Larna, what's going on? What happened to you? Why are you here more or less?"

"One question at a time. Let's get Alphilis back to sanity first."

Larna opened her eyes cuttingly as she let Alphilis wrap her fingers around her, squeaking something along its forehead.

Then she glanced as if Alphilis' head had been played properly by something, and Larna pulled out her fingers at the same time. There was a little black snake on its fingertips, and there was a light drop of blood.

Look at the snake that grabbed Larna's finger, and they all give it a little bit.

"Larna, what's that?

"It's a form of witchcraft. Probably planted it so Alphilis wouldn't notice. Alphilis is good at direct physical interference sorcery, so-called sorcery for attacks, because he doesn't like these indirect sorceries. Most people who officially learn magic learn from these curses."

"And is it Her Majesty Queen Muse who is suspicious when it comes"

Everyone sees Lisa in Lisa's words. Next to it there was a confusing ecla and a line that seemed to mourn.

"Damn, I knew there was a back there"

"The queen, no..."

"Please calm down. It has not yet been determined to be the magic of Her Majesty the Queen. It's only a matter of possibility. I know you're a wary opponent, but it's worse to be conceited over there with suspicion that's not there yet."

"Lisa is right. Just find out if you need to."

Everyone was convinced by Lunatica's words. And from the bed comes up an alphilis bounced behind me.

"Ugh, I still lose my head. I don't remember drinking that much."

"Let's get some water for you to notice. Regardless of the booze, was there anything unusual in your meeting with Queen Muse?

Mix a special powder in it while Larna prepares the water. It is an awakening medicine, including hangovers. As Alphilis drank that water, the light gradually returned to his eyes.

"Something unusual... I don't think there was anything in particular. There was nothing else suspicious about the barbecue, and the food didn't taste weird. I was on guard, too. It has been tested to some extent by my master for poisons and medicines that make me feel conscious. As a matter of fact, the only thing known in this continent's pharmaceutical books should be the tip of the tongue."

"What's more, it's possible to hide those flavors with eating together, but it's a fairly advanced technology. Either way, it's the business of dark magic (on purpose). Really, was there anything else? Any triviality is fine. Something made me feel uncomfortable."

"uncomfortable... speaking of which"

Alphilis remembers his first impression of seeing a muse. I was also uncomfortable with the beautiful decoration of the muse, but I was also concerned about the garden. It didn't have a symmetrical structure, and it made me feel uncomfortable from cutting into the garden to arranging columns. Although it was at first that I felt uncomfortable, its discomfort disappeared in wonder when I sat in my seat. Therefore, I didn't really care about Alphilis.

"I felt uncomfortable walking into the garden. And for Princess Muse's decorations."

"Decoration. What exactly?

"It was flashy when I did it. And there was a lot of gold and black."

"Gold and black... what else?

"Right. I wonder if we often didn't engage in conversation. I thought I was just being put on the pace of conversation."

"Unengageable conversation..."

Lisa, of course, handed out her gaze to Lunatica when Larna was thinking about something. When Lunatica felt Lisa's gaze, she quickly opened the door to the room and captured the person outside.

The person Lunatica brought in was Hausen. Renatica restrained Hausen's hands behind his back and brought him into the room.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on a woman's room, but I was wondering if it was time for you to let me go?

"Lisa?"

"I don't mind. I am Ekra's father, and I will be disrespectful to His Excellency the Prime Minister of this country."

Renatica let go of that hand lightly to Lisa's words. There were some traces left in Hausen's hands, which were a distraction from the strength of Renatica's power. When Hausen lightened his hand, he looked around at all the Alphilis and laid eyes on Larna, who was not there until yesterday.

"Your lady didn't seem to be here until yesterday?

"Father, she's an Alphilis companion named Larna."

"I don't mind bringing my people, but you want me to say no. I'm the master of this hall, Ekla."

"Excuse me..."

Placing his hands gently on Ekla's head, which unfortunately items his head, Hausen advanced. And as I headed to Larna, I spoke gently to her, too.

"Now, a girl who would probably be a witch. He seemed to have said something interesting earlier. Her Majesty Queen Muse uses dark magic or something?

"You often see me as a witch. I'm officially an apprentice."

"This is not the first time I've talked to a witch. This country is visited from time to time by a man named Granchelle, the blazing witch. I'm the prime minister. I have a chance to talk to them."

"Some witches were highly self-evident. So you said Her Majesty Queen Muse would use dark magic, but I didn't say that much. It's only a matter of possibility."

"Hmm. In conclusion, she is a magician. It's also much higher than that."

Hausen's words gave us all a little glimmer. I was also surprised that Muse was a magician, but I didn't think Hausen would divulge that lightly.

On the contrary, I wondered, Lisa looks at Hausen naggingly.
