The Branded Female Fencer

The Alphilis pulled up to the fort once the battle was over. It was the joyous voice of the soldiers who welcomed them. I guess so, I've been frightened of an attack I can't help flying out of the sky. I couldn't help but rejoice in them.

The vertigo responded to the soldiers' cheers, and I felt good as an alphilis. Only one, though, looked uncomfortable on the line. Rosetta notices on that line.

"Hey, colored man. What's wrong with your non-floating face?

"... you'll find out soon enough."

Rosetta smiled and cheered, ignoring the line, but she did know immediately why, as the line said.

The Alphilis, who were summoned by Grants, soon headed to the venue of the military council. It was the military men who stood there with an unusual and harsh look. In the harsh air of the place, the Alphilis and the others went somewhere in the mood of a previous victory.

"You did a bad thing"

"What?

I couldn't grasp the meaning of Grants' words, and Alphilis was sincerely listening back.

"Too much winning, you guys."

"I saved a fort that was going to fall. What's wrong with you?

"We were glad our enemies were among the castle attackers. Most of them were miscellaneous soldiers, and the mere fact that we were coming to this castle allowed the war to take place in five minutes. As a matter of fact, we were working on the settlement behind it. I almost got it together."

"You don't know that."

"Exactly. You guys were too good. Happy miscalculation, but this made it harder to end the fight"

Grants sighed loudly.

"The enemy wanted an end to the battle. Until yesterday, a settlement could be concluded on the original border. There may have been a need to pay some compensation, but it is insignificant compared to changing force maps.

But you've won. Now I can't even pull my opponent off. The battle will start again, this time it won't end until we drop each other's main circles. What will you do? "

"I didn't mean to..."

Alphilis was bewildered by the reaction of an unexpected ally. I was totally unexpected to be blamed for winning. Grants said away early in the arrow before Alphilis made any kind of clarification.

"Anyway, let's have them fight again in the future. If this happens, beat the target thoroughly. Examine enemy forces and follow up to issue a command. Stand by until you have your orders."

Grants said that in a harsh tone, he kicked the Alphilis out of the room to treat even those in the way. Lisa is angry at that attitude.

"What is it, that attitude? Then give me something I should just come to this fort."

"Come on, Lisa. Sure, we won, but I'm pretty sure we commanded the battle for the fort without Grants' orders. I was missed because I won, but I can't complain about being punished in a disciplined army, or worse, put to death.

Mercenaries are protected by guilds, so you can't do that. "

"Rhine, which side are you on!?

Lisa ate into the line, and the line gave it away. Make sure you're pinched by the two people you say it to, and Alphilis walks with an imaginary face.

"Anyway. We need to keep fighting. We need to keep gathering information."

"You care what the castle attackers say. Aside from the Karazel Cavalry, are there even stronger mercenaries on the enemy's side?

"I don't know. But I'm pretty sure they were aggressively gathering mercenaries here and there. Grants said he was going to make a reconciliation, but that would be a lie. If you're going to make a settlement, will you recruit mercenaries in such a blatant manner? The contract fee alone will be a good amount of money, a waste of money."

"... and I'm also concerned about Renatica's report. She said she was caught in another unpleasant hunch elsewhere with the Karazel Cavalry. What that means... if it's true, I'd like to explore it again."

Alphilis had a huge sigh of relief at an unexpected development.

The battle that began in the early morning also ended in a great victory, and by the time its excitement gradually woke up, Elsia's heart, on the roof of a painting of the fort, was cold as soon as possible. I am also tired of sitting at the edge of the watchtower and watching people move around at a far foot.

When Elsia looked back to see if it was time to go back to her room, she found a layer standing there silently. It was as if there were no signs or anything, so Elsia stifled and stopped moving for a moment.

"Yes, how long have you been there?"

"Long time ago. It's kind of hard to talk to."

"Well, I don't need to hesitate. Because we..."

Elsia stopped saying things because they were like sisters and brothers. I don't know why you hesitated to say this word like a cliché before. I may have been barely pressured by the fact that a layer that I thought was about the same back length until a while ago was clearly higher than I was.

"What are we?

"... nothing. What can I do for you? Will you stay out of my way!?

Elsia uttered strong words to shake her mind off. But the layers talk as pale as ever.

"You don't look like you've done anything."

"Shut up, leave me alone!

"That's not going to happen, because Elsia is on cooking duty. I'd love to hear Lisa bump, but I really think we should go back because Larna was starting to laugh."

"Ugh..."

Elsia reluctantly decided to return because what Layer said was best. Because pissing off Larna scares me more than anyone else.

Elsia glanced sideways at the layer. Then the layers were rare and I watched Elsia stare. Elsia was intrigued by his rare behavior because Layer was always the kind of boy who looked away somewhere.
