The Branded Female Fencer

The Hall of Return, Part 17 - Confusion

"Hey, the deputy chiefs are gone!?

"What's going on?

"We're seeing another sight, aren't we?

The rift distorted that sight shortly after Lisa crept, reflecting a completely different sight. Apparently, as much as I did earlier, it happened to reflect a hallway sight, but this time a completely different, even dim, room was unfolding inside. The Knights of the Temple are also disturbed by the sight that fuels anxiety.

Each of the remaining knights bothered, but it was the same as Jake and the others.

"... that's why I said it"

Jake had an unspeakable anxiety that his account had hit him. Anyone can see that this hall is strange. But I feel like I'm the closest to the truth.

Jake has always been. Occasions that should not be contested, or better to fight. Jake hardly remembers removing it due to discernment on each of them. Especially since I recently experienced an exchange of lives on the battlefield, I feel even more intuitive about it.

But there was nothing Jake could do about it on this occasion. He is only a child who still has nothing to say. It was the second time in my life that Jake wanted to be in public early.

"Jake, what are you gonna do!

It was Bruns who spoke to Jake. He was supposed to be thorough backward support, and his defense at the entry point was supposed to be the task. But it is no longer doubtful what it means to establish a base here, having lost the Commander to the Deputy Commander.

For the first time in practice, Bruns was in complete panic at the confusion he had not planned.

"Lady Rafferty followed by Deputy Aristotle is gone!? What are we gonna do now?

"Easy, Bruns. I can't help stuffing Jake."

"Can this calm down! Rascal, why are you so calm?

"Jake's not in a hurry. Besides, we can't all find a good solution in a hurry. You forgot your class on knighthood mindset? A knight would be for real to protect. We can resist with our swords, but Sister and other non-combatants are destined for the moment we fall apart. We're quasi-combatants this time, but no matter how many students, if our knights lack calm, it's over."

To Rascal's words, Bruns was ashamed of himself for being a werewolf. The Rascal of the day and the inner mind are not calm. It's because Jake stays calm, and because Bruns is more hasty than he is, that he has been able to say all this calm stuff. If I can, I just want to complain about this situation, which is rascal and chaotic.

Nellie had a chilling look at their interaction.

"Bruns is just a figurine. You're a careful man. Learn from Master Dora for a moment."

"Ugh! I was just in a bit of a hurry! And Dora's bastard is too calm. You, how can you be so calm?

"Uh-huh, I've come across quite a few scary occasions. One of the artists who kept his book was attacked by bandits and demons. What a story."

Dora talks as a grin, but it was never supposed to be an easy experience. Jake was convinced that there would be definite strength under that smile. Nevertheless, Jake thought in his heart that he might be diving through many more training grounds as if he were not in a hurry.

And in doing so, a tense voice bulks the Temple Knights.

Calm down, all of you.

The Lord of the Voice was Belliache. She was Rafferty's assistant, but in combat she was close to the temple to support the rear. That is why it was still left here.

When she lowered the tone of one voice, she went on to say the words this time quietly.

"I guess someone like me wouldn't deserve your command if it were meant to be, but let me dare say this here.

Look, I haven't decided that the crisis is imminent on those who have gone ahead yet. More than that, now is the prerequisite for what kind of response. Otherwise, don't you think I'd be ashamed to be a temple knight?

We are the main unit of the Temple Knights. At the same time, with our defeat, the trust of the Arnelian Church will be lost, and we will act with each liver in mind that the tradition and pride we have built for 400 years will be lost. "

Belliache is not a Knights Temple or anything. It's just that she's a mermaid who was picked up by the Arnelian Church in an unfortunate accident and became the wife of Rafferty on edge, but what her husband's work is like to her as she spends time in the Deep Green Palace. He had therefore come to understand what Arnelia, to whom he belonged, had fought for many years to defend and what he believed.

Being told by Belliache changes the face of the knights. When they regained their original sense of purpose and calm, Jake's spine was filled with a sensation of disgust. Jake pulled his sword out reflexively and set it up. I don't see the enemy yet.

"What's up?

One of the knights speaks out when he realizes that Jake has pulled his sword out. Jake explored what was going on around.

"No... because I felt strange air"

"What is weird?

"Rather than killing people... I don't know. Should it also be physical killings? For a moment, I felt it everywhere."

"We felt nothing, but...?

The knight twisted his neck, but Jake believed in his intuition. It's not my fault. There is certainly something around us. I've never met Jake, something.

In time, one of the remaining sisters began to check his surroundings as if he had noticed something. Staring at the garden tree behind him, the Sister began to chant magic.

[Holy soul, illuminate the darkness in response to my faith]

"Holy Light"

Sister's technique is a very simple sorcery. In the dark, for example, to the extent that it can be used to light the light. However, it can also be an attack magic for dark creatures and creatures who hate light extremely much. Sister's use of witchcraft caught everyone's attention, but the moment Sister's emitted sphere of light began among the trees, her concerns and Jake's perceived killer identity were revealed.
