The Branded Female Fencer
Magic General Council, Part 16 - Scar
"Lord Chairman."
"I'm no longer the chairman. Why don't you just call it off?
"Just kidding. This is how I respect you. I can't abbreviate my name."
"Right."
Tetrastine just laughed lightly. The smile looks heartless or soothing.
"You look like a shoulder load."
"Do I look that way? Well, you're right, actually. The chairmanship is good at first, but it becomes more inconvenient later. Especially when he's got men like you who don't know what to do."
"It's something I often say. I was wondering what our chairman would do better."
"Do you mean each other? But you should also try the chairmanship once. I'm sure it'll be a good experience."
"If you get a chance"
Ingville thanked him lightly. Tetrastine keeps talking as she looks up into the sky. The sky was already dim and about to enter the mouth of the night.
"Don't stay up late... it's the last time I look up at night like this from here."
"Will the Magic Church itself also leave?"
"Oh, I'm no longer in need of you. Besides, it would be easier for me to do some hoomilne without you. He's a lot of problems, but he must be good. I'm somewhat interested in what happens to this magic church when he takes the lead.
Well, that could have been Yarensen. Just don't stand alongside the two males. If Yarensen had lived, there would have been a massive internal war not far away "
"No way, that's why you put Yarensen in those eyes?
"Well, I don't know"
To the words of Tetrastine, Ingville swooped. If I did it on purpose, how can I be that cold myself? But if you hadn't let Yarensen lose his legs, Ingville would also know that it might not have been that much damage. As a result, the sorcery society may have been broken.
Tetrastine went on like a solitaire.
"You did a bad thing to Karabal. I hope you hate me."
"Why do you say that?"
"Sometimes it's easier to have a clear object to hate. It's hard not knowing who to hate."
Ingville dared to listen to Tetrastine. More than that, because I really wanted to ask you something.
"... and I was surprised, I didn't know you were quitting the chairman. What the hell are you up to? I couldn't figure it out either."
"That's unusual, I didn't expect you to beg for a lesson."
"I also learned the advantages of being honest."
"I see, it's a good way. You're starting to look like Aldrius, you."
Ingville frowned at the person Tetrastine had spoken to.
"Why did you give him his name there? He has nothing to do with me."
"Really? He must be the person who affected you the most. I can't, he was a genius. Because I'm as talented as you are, I would have cared about him. He said it was an obstacle standing in front of him. If you're stupid, you won't be dealt with, and in ordinary people, you'll just be flattered by him."
"I don't care what you hide, I was terrified about Aldrius, too. When I saw him, for the first time, I thought I'd lose. If he cared, I would have quit the chairmanship sooner.
But I wasn't even interested enough. I regretted it, but honestly, I was relieved. But you didn't seem the same. I wanted to beat him. But he didn't know what to do to win, he wasn't dealt with, and he passed away. Didn't I? "
"... may be so"
Ingville admitted honestly. For some reason, I felt like I could honestly talk now. Or maybe it's because the few Tetrastines you admit are opponents. Ingville was surprised by his unspeakable words and actions, which were usually absolutely impossible.
"When I first saw him, it was the time I felt most confident in myself. Though I think of birth and witchcraft. The lack of competitors was the end of even feeling inadequate. He was the one who told me what it was like in the well. Aldrius' constructed theory was too elusive for me at the time. It took years to decipher, with the help of Master Humilne and his surroundings. But he said he built the theory in less than six months.
He said he'd built a theory in just six months that could only build one faction. "
"You sure did. I think it was a putting souvenir when he left church. Even for him, it seems like he did it in one go."
"Yes, I guess. Wrong decryption came up with words that strangely made a fool of this one, and the decryption team was angry at me at the time, or they were bashing the pen on the ground.
That's when I realized. He said he was different from us. You said you weren't even in the eye from the edge, such as yourself thinking about coming out of the magic church. After that, he was one step ahead of us in getting the country done. "
"But even with that guy, there was only so much I could do while I was alive. He said the hero king thought the same thing. A person's life is short. What does it make and what does it want to do? You might be a good time to ask yourself what you want again."
"Keep your words, in your chest. But the chairman seems to come with a very long life span. Returning to the first question, what are you going to do in the future?
Ingville questioned again. If I don't hear this answer today, I'm not going to be able to back off. You also noticed Tetrastine, wrapped her sleeves around and showed her scars.
