The Branded Female Fencer

Missing Talent, Part 6 - Signs of Counter Strike

"... what do you think?

"What?

Inside Miriazal's office, Elsa and Eliza had been invited. Eliza just finished working with Jake earlier. The result is Eliza's overwhelming victory. Normally, it was a reasonable result, but Miriazal was feeling uninterrupted.

"Jake's guy, were you serious?"

"What do you mean?

"No, I'm not questioning Eliza's strength. I don't know, it turned out to be too lame."

"You don't look like a kid to distract me from serious match-ups. I think he did his best."

"In the difference of compatibility? Like Eliza, you've never fought an enemy with a long object."

Elsa added words, but Miriazal shook his head.

"No, that's hard to think about. Jake has already made me try to fight the demon king's unity. Besides, the biggest evil spirits in history have defeated us this time. If he could defeat so many opponents, he wouldn't have improved his skill."

Miriazar thought that the hypothesis about Jake might be more or less correct. Look at the troubled Miriazal, Elsa and Eliza face to face.

"The supreme bishop. Did Jake still think of you as the 'Holy Knight'?

"Yeah, I thought so."

"By" Saint Knight, "are you referring to a swordsman who was active before the war period? You know, getting the evil spirits out of one end."

Eliza didn't know much about the inheritance, so she asked the two of them.

"That's right. A man who can only have a specific fighting power against evil spirits and slay evil spirits without sanctity and without entity. That's the Holy Knight."

"You think you can only give the ability as usual to humans and other demons? Was there really such a person?

"There he is. Certainly."

Miriazal reminds me of a warrior I used to see on the battlefield. I believe that the evil spirit, the kind of dead spirit, did not sprinkle in the world because then the Holy Knight betrayed his life and went around exorcising evil spirits. To avoid wasting his accomplishments, Miriazar developed many sorceries to purify evil spirits and keep them from spreading again. That is the current 'sanctification', which we consider to be the mass production type of the Holy Knights.

But no holy knight has emerged since him. Couldn't it be handed down as a technology, or is there no need for the Holy Knight to emerge again? I thought if Jake had the qualities of a holy knight, he would be specialized against someone like Doom.

"(Is it a coincidence that I fucked the Demon King? But with that level of movement, it seems like the demon king's opponent in the report might not be able to take a deeper toll on him. When I crossed with the Demon King, I can't match the report and strength that I defeated this evil spirit. And around being lightly hit by Eliza opponents... of what they thought)"

Miriazal was troubled. If Jake was really specialized against Doom, whatever Lisa might disagree with, it was a calculation to hit Jake against Doom. If you need me, you can take Lisa. But thank you. The prospects may not work.

"(Then again, should priority be given to the completion of Alberto? Crudas is aptitude, but he expressed his power too quickly. That gives me the upper limit as a warrior. Because Rafferty has no right, Alberto must be empowered, even if it is overloaded. Training for that has already begun. But whether it still extends to Titania or not. If Titania is as reported, she may cross on an equal footing with Master Stelvese. One more push, I want one hand)"

"The supreme bishop (master)? What have you done?

Miriazal called to Elsa and returned to me.

"Yeah? Yeah, think about it."

"I hope so. Don't you even need to get too sick? Eliza is also pretty skilled these days. No matter how drilled the Jake boy gets, his body and mind are still growing. If Eliza and I can cross each other now, we can say that we've already halved human beings."

"But the enemy can't wait for this one to grow. Tomorrow, they might attack us. If not, I'll set you up with us."

"... I see. Is that why you called me in this time"

Elsa seemed to have figured something out in Miriazal's words. Miriazal commands the son to bring the materials.

"Look at this."

"Is this... the location of the Demon King's workshop?

"Um, it's from Tetrastine. Plus I added information on Espis, Linella. So far, there are only 28 places I know."

"Not so..."

I was staring at Elsa and Eliza as they ate the map. The workshop indicated there by the X mark extends throughout the continent. But there is not a single mark on the eastern and southern continents. In addition, the workshop was biased mostly towards the western side of the continent.

"Master, is this all the other guy's workshop?

"No... there must be some on the southern and eastern continents as well. But the Demon Society is not very cooperative. And the southern continent can't even be divided. If there's a demon king's workshop over there, you can't do it right now."

"At the moment... do you have any thoughts?

"Well."

Miriazar replied without even a dust, but Elsa did not pursue. Because I understand what I have to do. You can leave it to Miriazal to work out the whole plan.

"So, when do you set it up? What do you have in mind when you call me?

"... I'm letting you make your last confirmation right now. We have to estimate the size of the workshop and prioritize the destruction. Transfer to execution as soon as confirmation is complete. I intend to consult with the Magic Church for this purpose and bring it to the queues who were present at the Arnelia 400th Anniversary Ceremony as soon as they are ready for battle. This is not something we can do alone."

"Well, what do you think? I think the opposite is true."

Elsa objected to Miriazal's words. Miriazar looked surprised, looking back at Elsa.
