The Branded Female Fencer
Hall of Return (Instead), Part 11 - Front Break
"The Rambless family, in fact, had 74 people. Lambres himself is unaware of its existence, the 74th son."
"Kiko, what do you mean?
"It's on the left. Because he didn't want to divulge the presence of his son to the outside world, Rambless remodeled the mansion and prevented him from going outside. We heard from the Mayor that he was the real son of Rambless."
"You mean you locked your own child in a hall? For what?
"That's as far as I'm concerned... but I hear that the color of the hair of the child was born black, as if it were a reminder of the darkness."
The mayor just said it was time to talk. From time to time he seemed frightened by the wind. The sky is dark for the rainy season, and starving may also be affecting it.
"It is true that dark hair is also a sign of misfortune on this continent. But is that the only way to remodel the museum?
"We don't know that. Anyway, Rambless was afraid of his son and sealed it deep inside the hall. But no matter how horrible, the child is still a child. It must have been cute for Rambless. He seemed to try to take them out little by little and let them get used to the sunny world.
Still, were the pricks... as the pricks grew, shall we call the animals their, their abuse? It started to hit hard anyway. From the little bird at first. Eventually the dog, the horse and its subjects will grow... "
"... did you get to people"
To Rafferty's words, the mayor nodded slowly. The look was as if he was reluctant to snort.
Rafferty against is calm. Having wandered through numerous training grounds as a temple knight, he is naturally also familiar with Arnelia's dark history. There are a number of atrocious events and incidents that are endless in human language. It's not uncommon to just kill people.
But it's such a Rafferty that the next question may have come to my mouth. Besides, I could see why this little town had hidden the truth about the incident and why the mayor was scared.
"So, mayor. What was the way the Troo was killed?
"... he wasn't killed,"
"What?"
"Yes... I hear he had his whole body squeezed so strangely that he wasn't killed. He told me that he was dividing his precious organs, blood vessels, fu, fu..."
That's it. The mayor held his mouth down with his hands. he says. The mayor of this town needs to be someone who understands the horror, someone who can remember. He said it was a horrible thing to say, so he always remembers it. The scream of the mayor who saw Troo, and the sad scream of Troo himself. And a scream like Chuka's mind touched. Lafferty was taught that for the first time the head of this town would serve by passing on all of them.
Rafferty didn't dare ask ahead. I no longer grasped the identity of the evil spirit. Rambless son, I guess that's who the evil spirit is. And the evil spirits are probably standing this whole mansion as their own 'castle'. This vast hall, which would also be a labyrinth, not to mention a glimmer of breakthrough, Rafferty had altered his perception that it was likely to be a more difficult task than expected.
And those who were exploring the area all the way pulled up and began reporting to Rafferty.
"Report! I don't see how there are no demons around, nor do I feel popular with the hall. There seemed to be no organism, at least as far as I could see."
"There doesn't seem to be any physical protection in the hall. There were also no signs of special junctions around the mansion. But in some way, the mansion seems to be protected by the junction. It's not always possible to infiltrate from anywhere."
"Hmm. What's Ultina's view?
Ultina also looked around the hall herself all the way, but she also shook her head dissatisfied.
"No. At first glance, nothing seems to be magical, but it seemed that there might be a connection to different spaces. I was wondering if I would ever come back if I went through a nasty path."
"Well... Lord Lisa..."
"You're basically in the same opinion as Sister there. Lisa's sensors will not arrive inside at all. Certainly there are strange spaces unfolding around there, as the lady said. Lisa's sensors don't fly radially.
But I found something that seems to be broken. "
Lisa's words attract the same attention. But Lisa took control of the attention.
"Before I do, Lisa has one suggestion for you."
"Let's hear it."
"Is this mission an investigation or an annihilation?"
To Lisa's words, Rafferty sparkled her eyes funny. I kind of figured out what Lisa was trying to say.
"It's annihilation. What's that?
"So you don't have to go out of your way to infiltrate this building, you just have to smash the whole thing from the outside?
"Ha-ha-ha. Funny thing to say, lady, I like it."
Brandio suddenly stood up and slapped his hand. The look was shining as if I had heard the best joke.
"I'm thinking of playing tricks with Wye. Stop it."
"Thanks for that. I just don't like the hassle as a Lisa, so why don't we just blow it out from the outside and drag our enemies out without having to bother imitating them to jump into the enemy's pocket? I think so. It's rude of you to come out here more or less, but not even one of the pickups!
"Honey, you funny lady. I want them to hear that word. But do you have the means? If I didn't, I'd be the one with the pictures."
"Huh, who do you think this Lisa is? Absolutely beautiful girlism, Lisa, right? It's not!
Originally from Lisa's unsure introduction, it was Emerald who was able to carry an impulse that appeared. She was nervous about being noticed, or she walked nervously with her right hand and right leg out at the same time.
To such an emerald, Lisa throws an encouraging cheer.
"It's okay, you're always right, Emerald. You just have to bust it."
"Ugh, really?
Emerald replies anxiously, having recently learned a few human words. But both Lisa and Larna have encouraged me, so Emerald didn't even consider himself to be finely dusty. If there's just one thing I care about, I only care about what Impulse thinks.
"Takeshi, takeshi?
"(Oh, things are fine. Shall I show you how powerful we are, as Lisa asks? I think it's a little different that you always bust it)"
"I'm not, and this is a lot of rubbish. Sift, come on?
It was only through Emerald that Impulse's heart was relieved by Emerald's inquiry.
"(... oh, it's okay. You should use your full strength, Emerald)"
"Yeah!"
When permission was given for the impulse, Emerald replied with a full grin. Emerald's words sounded only to the extent of solitary to the ordinary, but Brandio stared sharply at her.
And the eye of Emerald, who unleashed the impulse, returns to the original warrior's eye.
"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
And when they saw the emerald, which was set in the great upper part, the men of the place fell behind. Only that something was wrong was that even those who had no preliminary knowledge of anything. It is a group of people who can sense so much danger. Even if it doesn't, if lightning starts coming out of the sword erected by Emerald, anyone can fall behind.
And the temper flashed, and a tremendous thunderbolt burst from the impulse that Emerald shook down, along with a flash of blindness. Thundering ran with momentum that just swallowed the hall, but when each looked at the hall, little damage was seen to the hall itself, although the remnants of the current were still visible around the hall.
"Ugh, even though I'm not jerking off?
"(I know, because I didn't add or subtract anything. That's all I'm saying. It's a strong bond. But it just doesn't seem to be intact. Lana knows)"
As Impulse put it, he pointed to one point as Larna walked out the next.
"Now, in my view, I can feel the breakdown of this junction on that one point where the emerald thunderstorm struck. I'll break part of the bond as it is, but are you ready for your entry?
"Well... well. All hands, are you ready for battle!?
Rafferty speaks out late for a sudden situation. Then the others raised their voices. And with Larna in the lead, we head to the hall.
As many snakes popped out of Larna's robe hem, they bit at nothing in the air. Then, like something had begun, there was a sound, and obviously the discomfort in front of him disappeared. Brandio is impressed again when he sees Larna's hands.
"Heh - I'm just a mercenary. If I lick it, I don't know, this."
"Right. I think it's refreshing what's happening to those who don't know, but it's a fairly advanced curse. Apparently, a witch apprentice is true."
"If I did an apprenticeship with that, the witch would be amazing. Enemies who just do it together, do it pretty well. I'd love to see you again."
"Huh? What?
"Whatever. Oh, man."
When Brandio moved his hands together, he slowly headed to the hall with Ultina.
