The Branded Female Fencer

"What? What's going on?

"The air has changed... it smells like battle"

Layers who were outside the tent muttered. Elsia flinches at a sharp voice she has never heard of.

"Layer...?"

"Elsia asks for Gail. Utility should check out the exit route immediately. I'm looking for Captain Alphilis."

"Hey, what's going on?

"The battlefield came from the other side."

I didn't know what the layers meant, and Elsia ran away at a rate I'd never seen the layers in a pompous gap. Elsia, left behind, often looked at Utility, but in the meantime was blocked by the footsteps of the resounding giant. Surprised Elsia and Uty looked up in the direction of the footsteps and saw the colors of a giant monster with a head higher than the second floor of the building. The monster fortunately left unaware of Elsia and Uty, but with that huge monster in front of her, Elsia and Uty were instinctively hidden.

"Uty, whatever it is"

"I'd love to hear it. But it feels like... I don't think it's a natural occurrence. Because the spirits are so frightened."

"You know what I mean?

"What do you think the eagle is? This is still a fairy born of nature, so it's only natural to know about it. Even a magician would know if he trained well. Alphilis, Larna."

"Phew, I don't get it"

"Naturally, I didn't train you in magic. Although the qualities only seem to be comparable."

"Is that what you know?

I thought Elsia was going to happen, but the unexpected reaction stuck Utility a little in the words. Uty gets a little lost in words about what to say.

"Yeah... you know, somehow, but I get it. But it's not qualities in the sense of talent. I'm talking about whether the child is currently suitable for communicating with the Spirit, because that depends not only on birth and blood muscles, but also on what life he has acquired. That's why witches set up homes to suit their own attributes."

"So you're saying it depends on the effort and everything?

"To some extent. But human life is short, and what can be stacked with effort may be known. Well, the more magic you practice, the more power you gain, so maybe it's brighter than physical strength.

But to have a special power, that's whether to make a deal with the Spirit or use a forbidden hand. "

I talked that far and thought Uti was bad. Because Elsia's eyes lit a sharp light, but she noticed it.

"Uty, you..."

"Hey, hey! I guess you're not even going to be a spiritual knight!?

"If that makes you stronger, I will."

When I heard Elsia's words, Uty shook to the side as she busted her neck.

"No, absolutely not!

"Why not?"

"Spirit knights aren't as casual as you think! Many Spirit Knights follow an unfortunate backdrop. Although it is certainly gratifying to have more Spirit Knights, both for people and for spirits. But the eagles are well taught the horrors of their fate. So no, I can't get Elsia into the path I know she's gonna be unhappy."

"Hmm, you're surprisingly sweet"

To Elsia's unexpected words, Uty blushed.

"Hey, what are you talking about!

"You're upset and you're chewing. Well, if you don't think about it a lot, there's still too much I don't know.

Well, it's time to think about getting out of here, but I wonder where the layer went. But I can't even leave Gail alone. "

"You've calmed down. I thought we'd go after the layers soon."

To Uti's words, Elsia turned to the side with her lid.

"I know I don't have the strength. There's nothing we can do about moving into the dark clouds, and now we can do everything we can about the wounded."

"Yeah, yeah, I think that's fine. And it looks like Fenna's coming over here. Looks like the Alphilis and the others have already started engaging, and we're gonna be busy here. I have to take care of someone who can't move either."

"Can I tell you how to treat me?

"Absolutely."

Uty responded with a smile and Elsia began guiding the wounded. I still regretted that it was the best she could do.

There were those who watched over the series of battles from the high ground. The guard soldier there is already dead. Anomaly, standing there, watched the battle with a serious look that was undisturbed by no one and not in the pattern, but there was such a presence to speak to him.

"(Hey, Anomaly. How are you feeling)"

"Whisper? I wonder if you would stop showing up with your voice alone. It's bad for my heart."

"(hehe, you don't have a heart)"

I laugh when Whisper dulls. Anomaly continued the conversation with that laugh of his.

"If you don't need me, will you go home? Even if it looks like this, I'm serious this time. Because we have to figure out if it's going to take a little longer to get the results of the experiment."

"(Experiment, what?

"You think I'll teach you? You are certainly an out-of-the-box, arms-standing being for a human being, but you do not fall outside the realm of the human being. Because I think it's convenient and it's worth using with each other, we continue to have a relationship, but we don't get along very well. Because your abilities don't apply to many of us, and you can't kill me."

"(Sure, maybe you can't kill me. But Anomaly, I have some idea what you're after and what you're after)"

Anomaly was intrigued by the thoughtless words.

"See? That's funny, tell me."

"(... Book of Life)"

To Whisper's words, Anomaly's face changed. The expression was more rugged than any of the black magicians had ever seen. Anomaly stared and killed him, but he didn't know where to turn that gaze.

"Whisper, you..."

"(So I said at the outset that I shouldn't insult humans. There's no way I can have direct contact with you, is there? We have been moving in the darkness of the human world for a long time. We know a history that we don't even know about Arnelia)"

"What do you want?

Anomaly inquired calmly about her voice. But inside, we knew it was completely different. Depending on how you respond, it would be a fierce battle on this occasion.
