The Branded Female Fencer

"... okay, I'll take that exchange condition. But I have something to do, too. You're gonna do it in one hassle, but still, okay?

"Of course you do. You're not the one who asked for it. You can contact this Wood store by sending it a special address. So you get a letter from me."

"Okay. So, you're gonna tell me what you know about me instead of the arrangement?

"Don't rush. Let's start with the current situation in Alexandria. You don't know the details, do you?

With that said, Amur began to tell him what information he knew.

"Alexandria is in a very bad mood right now."

"You think it's bad?

"Yeah, right. You're not the only one who pulled the trigger on the domestic situation."

To Amur's unexpected remark, Rhine faced off.

"You think I am? How am I supposed to get involved?

"Are you not aware that you were more important to the country than that? It's good to be humble, but it's stupid not to recognize yourself correctly, huh?

Well, that's fine, you're just the trigger. That country caught fire in one of your cases. Originally that country was a mighty nation, but those were the generations of wise kings and benign knights and, above all, the spiritual knight Diore-Nightroad-Brigandi, who were the strongest knights on the continent with the best knights who pledged allegiance for over 200 years unchanged, and who could be mighty.

But people who are too good are gradually neglected. That's the best Diore can do. Not as much as anyone can win any more. That's why she was kept away from the center. As a matter of fact, she's already been sent as a mediator for a long time on a land where small northeastern peoples contend.

No matter how talented you are, it's not a good idea for a single human being to stay in power. That was the national policy advocated by Diore himself, and at first, reluctantly, Diore became the guardian of the border.

But time has passed, and more and more people are doing whatever they want while Diore is not in the center. The fact that the border was rougher and busier than he thought made Diore unable to leave the border. Could this be a coincidence?

"What? What do you mean!?

Amur suppressed the nose of the line he was about to eat and shredded his temper. Rhine was not shredded by his suppressed nose, but took a step further from him by Amur's artistry, which could easily be in his own pocket.

But Amur doesn't mind otherwise. I started talking further.

"I don't even know the details. Together, while Diore was not in the center, the central government of Alexandria began to have a rash. A country is like a big tree. No matter how powerful a country is, if its roots rot, it will end badly.

Of course there's no way the knights of that country can do that. They are always after the opportunity to sweep away the senators. As a starting point, we are using your deportation to disprove the unidentified ministers of the central government.

Whenever that country develops into a civil conflict right now, it's no surprise. The extremists trying to sweep away the ministers and rebuild the country and the moderates that the country should be gradually transformed. And I wonder if there's such a thing as a neutral person and a crappy human faction that thinks it doesn't matter that it only devours vested interests. This series of moves will depend on how Diore moves ahead, whether you want it or not. And maybe that diore moves today.

Here's the thing, all I can say about Atashi right now. I wonder if there was anything in Atashi's words that resonated with your chest?

The line leaned for a while but eventually looked up and saw Amur. The look on the face of the line looking at Amur was unusual to him, and he had a line of facial expressions like a boy, like he had lost a troubled place to go.

"Is that... is that my fault?

"You can say that, and you can't say that. What you're saying is just a trigger. Alexandria will have arrived sooner or later in a situation like this one.

So even if I don't tell you that you don't have to take responsibility at all, I can't tell you that much. At the end of the day, we just have to choose the option in front of us. It's impossible to go back and choose the past options. But you don't have a choice?

Did the line save a little in Amur's words, somewhat and nodded. And I took Amur's offer.

"... okay, you're certainly right. I guess I just have to move on, huh?

"Yeah, well, that's intent. You are young, so live more positively. All you have to do is regret being an old, unrequited old man like Atashi."

"Well said, you wouldn't be that old. You're telling me you're still active?

"Sure, if it's Attch."

Amur gave him a wink, so the line gave him a look that didn't flatter him. I can't even understand the line of servitude which direction Amur said it was in. You can say your instincts refuse.

Rhine was caught in a strange mood and left to flee the scene. My instincts seemed to tell me that it seemed better not to be very personal.

Of course the line never saw Amur twisting his body strangely behind such a line.
