The Branded Female Fencer

"Hey Jake, what are you talking about?

"What?

"This is the first door we tried to get in!

Bruns pointed to the first door to which he paid Rafferty's hand. And the door was the most amazing thing about Bruns shouting. The door is wonderful to Ultina. Did she lose her first momentum? She waves her hand from left to right and says, "I have nothing to do with this anymore." Not to put it into words, but all but Jake felt the same about Bruns.

But Jake was calm in the line of duty.

"No... I was kind of uncomfortable from the start. Even though I had the right answer in front of me, I felt something was different. Besides, I don't feel like reaching their nostalgia no matter how much I walk. I've been walking around looking for that answer. Still a new America and a knight, so I was going to follow the commander's orders.

But I finally found out. They were all fooled together. To this guy. "

Jake points to the door. The door is still waving left and right.

"Whoa. How does a guy like this get it right?

"Ask this guy and you'll see"

When Jake pulled out his sword, he poked at the door perfectly. The hand movement of the door stops.

"I'll break you now. Don't feel bad."

"Gi... giggly!"

Did the door perceive its own crisis, suddenly barking and trying to strike Jake? A spear protrudes through the door, trying to skewer Jake.

Jake speared and tried to stick his sword out, but the spear kept popping up. Jake waved his sword down regardless and broke both hands on the handle part. The door movement stopped perfectly, as did the spear that tried to pierce Jake.

It was Dora and Rascal who missed that spear. Dora remained calm, but Rascal has a bright blue face and a cold sweat.

"Mm, you impotent bastard!

"Bad. But I could see you two popping up"

"It's nice of you to believe me, but if I made one mistake, you'd be dead, wouldn't you? I can't impress you."

"I'm not going to die. Not here."

Jake gave a meaningful look when he glanced at Dora's face. Dora returned it with a seriously advising look, but only silence flowed between the two.

Rascal gets irritated by the air that can be awkward.

"Speaking of which, what about the Bruns?

"... behind you."

Bruns had stopped with his sword on the upper stage because he no longer had a swinging tip of what he had pulled out his sword. Has it been delayed in jumping out, or I seem to be having trouble getting the sword down to where I shook it.

"What are you doing?"

"No, that's, uh..."

"How dare you?"

Nellie comes forward with a kick from behind Bruns' knee. At the same time, when the door slowly fell to the ground, it began to regain its shape as the original door.

"Is this it?

"Oh, I think it's good. Look where I found you."

Jake pointed to the entrance where the door was. The door was attacked by Jake and the others trying to jump out of it, but it should have just been hollow there more than the door was gone.

I see, as Jake points out, there's just a cavity open there. Yes, the interior of the building to be shown earlier wasn't there, it was just a cavity.

"This is..."

"I guess it wasn't a decent entrance, from the beginning. If you come in from here, you'll be transferred to a different location."

"I see, you can split everyone up without labor. Then I also feel like there was a better way to do it, but how did you do this halfway? If we'd just pretended to be doors from the beginning, we'd have been scattered from the beginning."

Dora may also wish to point out. Everyone had the same opinion of Dora's words, but only Jake was different.

"Right... it was a pain in the ass to be there at once, but I didn't mean to kill you all at once, or something?

"Huh? I don't know why. If you're going to slap me, why don't you be honest with me?"

"The enemy is not like a single cell like you, Usladeb."

"Hey, hey, what the hell!

Yes, yes, that's it.

Rascal pulled Nellie and Bruns off the hook and did nothing. Anyway, Nellie has had a tough time hitting other boys since she bravely approached Dora. Though it may only be a little harsh on him after the reluctance to be aristocratic against the Bruns has disappeared.

As Dora and Jake laughed bitterly, the door that fell to the ground was completely back to its original door. Now it was transformed into a wooden kannon-opening door, although it might not be as tough to build as it was originally built, but a normal door, perhaps a little different. It also feels like it has turned in size and got smaller about twice. Jake and the others don't seem too inconvenient to open it.

"This is"

"Let's open it"

Jake hesitates to open the door ahead of the others. I exposed the inside of it as the door seemed to crumble, but now there were only stone staircases underneath. Ahead in spiral was true darkness, not visible from just a few steps away. Jake breathes a little into the darkness until it's unnatural. Dora peeks in the same way from behind.

"Jake. What do you think this is?

"Maybe this is the real hall"

"Huh? Then what is this hall standing here?

"I don't know. But this is our destiny."

"Jake, are you kidding?

"Look!

Jake answered Dora's question without getting her hair in. Dora took one big breath and walked out on Jake.

"All right, let's go"

"Whoa, okay? We're not alone. Isn't it reasonable to report here?

Rascal calmly holds Dora back. He suggests someone else rendezvous, but Dora and Jake shook their heads sideways in time.

"Normally, yes, but I didn't know who I could rendezvous with in a museum like this. Besides, I'm suspicious you might be able to come back here."

"It's a waste of time. I may not be able to spend much more time"

"What do you mean?"

Jake answers the Bruns question.

"Ever since I walked into this hall, I've felt worse and worse. At first I thought it was because it was going in the back, but it's not. We haven't been in the back since the beginning.

I was convinced when I was defeating the enemy. Whenever the enemy fell, the feeling of disgust intensified. "

"Is that true?

"Maybe..."

Nellie scratches her mouth.

"This is a castle, what is it? It was written in one of the textbooks, but when there are many foreign objects in the world, it is difficult to exert that power. If that foreign object is the enemy..."

"Right. The more enemies you defeat, the more effective the castle will be"

"If so, perhaps there are few more enemies left. I can't imagine what it would be like without us."

"Uh, you mean we should defeat the enemy's best balls early before we wipe out all the miscellaneous fish?

"Maybe so."

Looks like they've all swallowed up the story. Bruns slaps one palm in the palm.

"Then let's move on! If we crush the enemy's best balls, we win!

"You... you haven't been of any use to me since earlier"

"That's good. We need to be as energetic as Bruns."

"Dead trees are busy in the mountains."

"Hey Rascal! Who's the dead tree?

Bruns blames Rascal for slapping lightly,

"Right. Not dead trees, but pig screams in the wilderness."

"Hey! Are you seriously gonna get mad at me?

"Ha ha, you're all really well"

Dora gave him a laugh, so Jake looked at him a little. Dora and I have been dating for a long time already, but because it's the first time I've seen him laugh out loud. Jake was distracted by his unwieldy smile, but at the same time I felt like I saw his essence in his strangely grown-up way of laughing.

It was also during a while that the air felt soothed only for a moment. Jake felt the impending killing behind him, pulling out his sword and setting himself up. Dora also hands the sword at about the same time. The other three had yet to feel anything, but only movement and reaction were becoming ripe.

"An enemy?

"Oh. That's a lot, too."

"Where do you come from?

"... like it's all"

What Nellie saw was a herd of hekatonkails coming out of all directions. Through the windows of the hall, coming out of the shadows, they were so numerous that they could not count. Now everyone blues.

"Where were you so..."

I want to hear it.

"What do we do, Jake? Ignore me. Do you want to go inside?

Ask Jake for instructions even as Rascal blues. His expression obviously appealed to him to avoid a fight, but Jake also agreed with him on that. But...

"Ignore those guys. If it's a dead end down here, it's a pinch. I think he's either gonna knock it down, or he's gonna hold it back."

"Too many defeats, huh? I'm proud of you, but I can't take you down on my own."

"Hey, you're not gonna be proud of me!

"Let it go! I don't know what to look like here! So, what do we do?

Jake was troubled. Fighting is not possible in surrounded situations. But once you get out and get back on your feet, you have a feeling that you won't make it. The most realistic means. It's about letting anyone but yourself stop here.

"(But if you let that happen, you'll all die... damn, I thought you had to make that decision when you lead people!

I remember Jake being summoned by Miriazal to say when he was appointed as the regular Knights of the Temple.

"(Jake. Congratulations, I'm not saying)"

"(Why?

"(As far as I'm concerned, I still wanted to get your promotion ahead of me. Until the current series of disturbances calmed down, if possible, he wanted us to spend some time in the general knighthood around him. But the situation won't allow it. From here on out, there may be a number of miserable battles that cannot be encountered in normal times. forgive me for getting involved)"

"(I'm not sure, but I'm close to my goal, am I? Then it's fine)"

"(Easy... young, not young. But remember one thing. Responsibility attaches to those who are powerful. Responsibility carries sacrifices. Your troubles will be bothered by a series of brutal judgments ahead. Eventually the night will no longer be a time of rest, and the days of inability to sleep may come upon you. In that case, come and talk to me)"

Ok, I will) "

Jake was somewhat flush with Miriazal's advice then, but I've been thinking about what it means ever since. Somehow listening to others, I imagined what a brutal decision was, but it was not accompanied by readiness. When it comes to judging in real life, it's as if I don't know what choices are right.

"(Oh, is this what Miriazal was saying? It's not like you can judge me. But still, I...)"

An arrow tip that Jake tried to say what he thought, part of Hekatonkail's enclosure blows up. It was a beautiful woman with silver hair who stood in front of Jake by kicking Hecaton Kale.

"Are you all right?

"Ah... Lunatica?

Jake was surprised at the emergence of this woman who had little or no conversation while next to Lisa. In retrospect, this may be the first time I've ever spoken. But a silent female warrior painted with blood is now reliable.

"Why are you here?

"Lisa asked for it. And I have a message."

Renatica took a glimpse of Jake even for a moment as he blew the nearest whole thing away.

"'Don't try to do anything alone. Successfully get help around', yeah. I did tell him."

"Oh, hey..."

Without Jake having time to stop, Renatica stormed into a herd of Hekatonkails. Jake makes a decision when he sees the Hekatonkales being shredded by Renatica's blow.

"Leave it to her. We're going underground."

"Are you sure?

"That's okay. Lunatica knows what I want most."

Jake noticed her strangeness as he watched Lunatica fight for a moment. I was told that Renatica would fight in a way that would not return blood. Just because that doesn't bother me now with Hekatonkale's return blood and so on, I'm making a stupid assault. While she couldn't afford it either, Renatica came here to get Jake moving.

Lisa thought that Jake would have foreseen this and felt emotional at the same time.

"(You haven't, I am)"

"Hey, Jake! Don't be blurry!

Nellie and Dora are already moving on while magically lighting the lights. Later, while Bruns closed the door, he waited for Jake. I don't want Hecaton Cale attacking me, not hissing or trying to hide it.

Jake felt relieved somewhere and dived underground through the entrance he was opening for me.
