The Branded Female Fencer

The Hall of Return, Part 52 - Threatening

"(Did they ask?

Brandio worries, but it doesn't matter. Lisa and Aristotle continued the conversation.

"Apparently we're both safe. Lord Lisa, are all the survivors now?

"Yeah, it seems so. Jake and the others have returned from the basement, and apparently Lunatica is safe. And there are no enemies left. I thought it was our victory."

"How many people have died?

"... 14 people were killed directly by the enemy. And 10 who did not wake up from their dreams and took their breath away as they were"

"About a quarter of the total? Given the size and strength of the opponent, can I say I can do it first?"

Aristotle looked remorseful, but Lisa dared not say anything. Lisa is confident that even if she is close to Arnelia, she is a mercenary. Because Lisa decided that she didn't deserve to say something here because she was a mercenary.

Aristotle regained her mind and opened her mouth.

"Fine. I report this to Captain Rafferty. Lord Lisa needs to rest. You can rendezvous with your buddies, and if you need allowances or food, you should go to a rest stop. Sister, the monks must be packing it."

"Thank you for your concern. We'll be on our way in a little while."

Lisa deliberately replied naughtily, but Aristotle left without worrying. And remaining Lisa and Brandio, Ultina. As Lisa suddenly turned back to Ultina, she did every favor as she bowed down.

"Sister of the pilgrimage, will you ask me for one?

"What is it?

"It looks like our Lunatica is in trouble, near the door that leads to the basement. I hope I've tailored the enemy, but the body seems to be covering the entrance that leads to the basement. Could you please remove it?"

"... I'm not a convenient cleaner, am I? But that's fine, I'll help. Because such actions are one of our roles. Brandio, but without the crude phase."

"Wai is a child."

"Oh, and. Why don't you stop talking that weird way? Everyone on the pilgrimage is going to think it's weird."

"Land of Wai or. Leave me alone!"

Brandio, who often smiled and dropped him off after Ultina left, who said so much he wanted to say, but soon became faceless. The look on his face he never showed on this expedition. No, it was a look I would never have shown before anyone in the Arnelian Church.

As with the expression, Brandio speaks to Lisa in an unchallenged voice.

"Did you hear that?

"Well, it's on the way. I don't remember Lisa about them, but you seemed to be wearing a little unusual clothes. It seemed like a lot of outfits in Eastern countries."

"I guess so. So, what are you gonna do?

"... nothing. Thanks. The quality of the information is vague and there is nothing we can do about it. Whether you tell Miriazal or Miranda, it won't be the only decision that will drive you out of Arnelia. Because your usefulness seems much better at the moment. Those two aren't so stupid that they can't calculate that much, and they may know more about your movements than I do.

First, for me, a mercenary, it doesn't matter who you are or where you're a spy without direct harm. "

"Smart choices, just as sensors get it. If you're going to tick someone here, you might kill them."

"Is it? If you do that, it won't do you any good. First of all, isn't killing Lisa funny anything?

Lisa also replied calmly to the words Brandio uttered emotionally. For sensors who often eavesdrop on people's information, threats to this extent are routine tea meals. However, unlike normal people, they must do things like that.

Brandio smiles all the time.

"Sort of. Burns, it's not bad to be hated and hated by that kid. In a few more years, maybe we'll be able to fight a dull battle. If you do that, I'll kill you too."

"Are you a battle freak? It's a good place to break a monk."

"It's just a compliment. I'm not going to do anything at the moment, and Arnelia's not going to betray me. It seems more interesting to deal with those black magicians."

Brandio began to leave Lisa all the time. I guess you thought there was nothing more to talk about. Lisa had only one thing to worry about, so I asked her the last time.

"Was it you who was squeezing the information on this one?

"Yeah. It's burning, Wai has been old enough to grip the information in this hall for decades. I mean... that sort of thing."

"... I see, I get it"

Lisa nodded. It is true that Brandio is not submissive to Arnelia, but he may not necessarily be betraying him. There are multiple traitors. When that happened, Lisa was beginning to wonder if she could trust the Arnelians because the traitors, who were quite an organization, might be inside Arnelia. Often this information should be kept within the chest. That's what Lisa's instincts told me.

Besides, there's no way Miranda didn't realize this. Lisa thinks it might be until then, if she doesn't realize it.

"Oh, on the ground!

"You're clear. I mean, the sky is blue"

"Alive."

It was Lunatica who welcomed the boys up on the ground. She just sat there on a mountain and a pile of Hekatonkail corpses without even trying to wipe the blood that still dripped. I don't even know if it's my own wound anymore or my blood back.

Bruns and Rascal stopped by surprise at that Renatica figure, but only Jake approached her and urged her to sweep away the blood.

"You should wipe it. Everybody's scared."

"I have no leeway. Exactly tired."

"You wiped them all out?

"Approximately. The rest of them are disposed of by the Temple Knights"

"That's just great. Thank you for saving me."

"Thank you. Because it was Lisa's order."

When Renatica woke up heavily, she left the spot. Seeing that look, Jake felt a little admired for Renatica for wanting to get that much strength in his hands. Even if that strength isn't what Jake wants.

That's when Jake remembered Dora and Nellie all the time. Jake thought we should hear where they were before Renatica went somewhere. I haven't seen him around yet.

"Luna, don't you know two more of my people?

"I didn't see it."

"Well... before we get out, who got out of here, who got in?

"No one"

Rascal and Bruns seem anxious about that word. Is Dora and Nellie still inside? It's the arrow tip that Jake and the others thought it was.
