The Branded Female Fencer

"Nothing, forget it. I've been sorry since then to just take a woman to the battlefield. That's why the next woman turned her into a woman with no connection to the battlefield. Abby missed Nia, and Nia wanted to miss her, so I took her with me."

"That would be convenient."

"... you're the one who tells me to deflect what I'm trying to say. No."

Lower stared down at Kazas, but rethought. It reminded me of a time when my stunning personality was a disaster. Even though Amur advised me.

"I guess I was sad. So on the pretext of being close to Nia, I dictated Abby. I felt guilty then, but now I really like her. What a waste of a woman for me."

"Really? Above all."

"I wish Yao looked like Abby. But sadly, you look like me. And all the clumsiness."

Lore stirs up alcohol with a laugh. Apparently, the liquor has just gotten around.

"I thought only Nia looked like me. Nia assumes anything, runs alone, and has a troubling personality. If someone doesn't lead him next door, he could be crushed. So if a man like you would stay next door, it would be safe for me. I have nothing to be unhappy with, even if you really do accompany me."

"I appreciate that. With your father's permission, I can stay with her with dignity."

"You're a proud, bigoted, head-turning, but honest guy. Especially for your own desires. That's a lot of temperament for beasts. That's why I couldn't hate you anywhere.

But I'm worried about Yao. I figured it out in my earlier interaction, but that kid is too strong. It's not strange to be a beast general because of his strength, but he won't be a beast general. "

"What do you mean?

By the time Kazas inquired, Lower's eyes seemed to be just before he fell asleep as a corpse.

"A general is something that leads people. You must be an animal man who shares the hardships with his men. Therefore Amur did not aim for the status of the beast general, and Roch had enough beast generals.

But Yao is too strong, but he will be lonely. There was once such a woman beastman. I was told that I was approaching Dryan's talent and that the current beast general Lyunka and others would not have reached my feet, but I left Gruzaldo because I was too strong for anyone else. Did you say Mireille or something? I don't want Yao to be... I want Yao to grow up surrounded by more people, yes... "

"I see. Sure, Alphilis may be enough as a person, but maybe her powers will make her lonely sooner or later."

Lore fell asleep to collapse as he sloppily roared in the swamp, where Kazas stopped turning slightly. It was just then that Abby came out after washing the dishes.

"Did Lore sleep?

"Oh, yeah. Sounds like it."

An empty liquor bottle rolled down from Lower's hand. Abby held Lower on his shoulder and let him stand up. Apparently, it carries you to your bedroom. Lore said she was a distant woman on the battlefield, but that's the Beast Man. Seems like a different muscle strength than a human woman. Because you can move a drunken man against your shoulder.

Abby speaks.

"I'm sorry, poking at this guy's booze"

"No, I enjoyed hearing so many stories"

"This guy, he's been bright since you got here. I know you've always been worried about Nia and Yao, but you think there's more to me than that. I'm sure that's because I'm a woman. But I think you, the man, can ask you something. Sometimes, if you don't like it, I want you to listen to this guy."

"Of course, because you could be my future father"

To Kazas' words, Abby turned her eyes round.

"Oh, well... depending on the outcome of the battle, that's what happens either way. If only you hadn't chosen someone else."

"I don't mean to. It's just that Nia is the only one who likes me... whoa, was that a silence"

Kazas also put his head in front of Abby, Yao's mother. But Abby gave it back to me with a warm look.

"It's okay, because Yao is a tough kid too. But I hope Yao loses the next battle."

"What? But it's..."

"If you win, that child will not stray down that path until the Beast General. But I don't know if that's really happiness. I think there are people like Lower who worry, get lost, and still be happy.

I got lost when I was with Lore too, but I'm happy as a result. The experience that bothered me that way is still not enough for Yao. That kid should have joined the army after what his sister looked like, but the urge to fit Nia has been replaced by an immersion in training. You won't be happy if you get stronger.

It's fine to be strong, but you have to be purposeful about what you're going to be strong for. Isn't that right?

"... yeah, you're right"

Kazas was impressed by Abby's words, and took Lower while he rebelled often, and Abby left. And when Kazas told him his spare time, he left Lore's house behind.

And on his way back to the residence he owes Dryan, he spoke to the person who comes after him, no, the beast shadow.
