The Branded Female Fencer
Missing Talent, Part 148 ~ Wedge ~
"Hey, what's going on? Your face is bright blue.
"I'm not even in the mood for jokes. Arnelia's darkness is so great... that I may not be the supreme bishop after all. But you..."
From there, Miranda stopped saying yes. If Alphilis will assist me beside him as a friend. But let's not say it, Miranda has been around for a long time.
I also found out that Alphilis was trying to ask Miranda to help me with something again, but I realized that was something Miranda shouldn't talk about unless she told me. All sweet is not my friend. Because now we have things to do with each other.
"- I knew no. I've been busy working lately, and apparently I've been boiling it down. I'm gonna stick around a little bit more."
"... are you sure you're okay?
Miranda stroked her worried peeking face.
"You're not so bad as to worry about me. Be more careful with the pilgrimage. You must know Elsa, but not all of them are filled with a sense of discerning justice like Elsa. Some of them use that privilege to work evil."
"So did Sister earlier?
"... I'm sad you can't say otherwise."
Miranda had her eyes swimming like she was confused. Apparently Miranda doesn't even know that. Even Miranda's information network, which knows Pfeiffer's circumstances, apparently doesn't really grasp who Ips is.
"Who are you?
"Pilgrimage number eight. Pilgrims who have made achievements mainly in conflict resolution and ethnic issues. I was actually going to send Elsa for this request."
"He said he got in the way."
"Out of the way, I don't know if. Elsa was suddenly contacted that she couldn't make it, and when she was looking for a proxy, she had a recommendation just in time. That's what Lapenty said, and Ips came to say hello. That's so much more than I'm ready for."
"Were you going to do that from the start?
"I don't know that either"
Miranda shook her head.
"I can just say that pilgrimage is not a single rock. Due to the fact that those in charge of monitoring them for a long time were not beside the Supreme Bishop (Master Bishop), there are those who use their immense power.
Many of them have been judged by Atashi, but this time they are ingenious. Look, it's you from here, so I'm gonna tell you something, but the master's been after my life for a long time. Of course, there are about a few stars, but this time... "
"Hey, are you suspicious of the pilgrimage!?
"Shit, my voice is loud!
Despite being in a soundproof junction, Miranda blocked Alphilis' mouth aggressively.
"It's not like I don't trust Larna, but I can't even guess the soundproofing magic. They're more familiar than that."
"... what am I supposed to do?
Alphilis listened slowly as he stepped away from Miranda's hand.
"Nothing. But don't trust the pilgrims. Especially the 4th Marduke, the 5th Brandio, the 6th Ultina and the 8th Ips. They are powerful men who have been promoted to pilgrimage at a young age, but have a strong view of Lapenti's children's subordinates at number two. I have no idea what the lapenty at its heart is thinking. In the pilgrimage are ancient stocks, second only to Atashi, whose power is also considerable.
I think Elsa is on our side, but we haven't got the back around the 3rd, 7th and 9th. Just because it's Arnelia, never forgive me. "
"... yeah, okay."
Alphilis nodded with a refreshing face, but Miranda seemed to be at once convinced.
And so Miranda picks up the signs of people and goes outside the boundaries.
"Ips. What can I do for you?
"Hey, Archbishop Anolun. I'm scared of your face."
Ips put his finger on Miranda's forehead perfectly as he approached him with every loose footing. Miranda and Alphilis' eyes are opened to the act.
He touched my forehead. This means that it's not weird to be struck out of your forehead in action. Even Alphilis, who thinks he's my best friend, can't let me touch Miranda's midline or weakness, not even at booze time. That's why Alphilis stepped on Miranda as a first-rate user.
But Sister, who is said to be Ips, showed Miranda's wary forehead with a light touch. This amounts to a sufficiently challenging act. Miranda shook off Ips' right hand.
"Will you not touch me safely?
"Aha, I'm sorry ~. It was my creed that skin touch was important ~"
"Stop that light tone, too. As Arnelia's Sister, you'll be questioned in character."
I thought Alphilis could put himself up on the shelf a lot, but Miranda does use it publicly and privately.
In contrast, Ips replied as a snare as ever.
"Eh, yah. This is my way of doing things."
"I don't hate it. It would mostly interfere with your work, wouldn't it?
"Well at first they suspect me ~. But no one doubts my prowess after work. Yikes. It's my way of doing my job."
"Get to work, hey. Then why didn't you intervene earlier in this war? We just need to intervene a few more days early, and we didn't need to send the Alphilis and the others. What you did muddled the war and killed a lot of people mischievously. Don't you think?
Miranda's words were answered slightly correctly by the nagging Ips.
