The Branded Female Fencer

"... shitty free time."

"That's a mess of language. Mascalade."

Shut up, Euwayne.

Mascarade, disguised as an amyl, was boring. As an operative, she's already done what she does. There are several escape routes available in times of need, and I have already succeeded in creating several people who will move as I wish. At all, a man is an instant thing. Some gold and carnal desire. That makes it easy for a few people to manipulate. At all, Mascalade was frightened that he was a vulgar creature. It's a spitting emotion that I've already experienced many times in my life, but I was once again stirring up that dull emotion for so much boredom.

All you have to do is give me an order, and I can give you some fireworks. For example, if some army had attacked Arnelia, about the gates in the outer periphery would be able to be opened and directed to the front of the Deep Green Palace. He can also kidnap the children of several leading aristocrats. It is also possible to paralyze Arnelia's logistics in a few days. If we take another minute, we can also create a spark of civil strife inside Arnelia.

In that regard, this Mascarade was very good as an operative. That's why I had too much time, and I was running out of things to do.

"Uh, I was wondering if someone could replace me. I'm too bored to die."

"It's good to be bored. You are also a testament to your competence."

"Are you praising me?

"Until I told you the truth."

From the water in the barrel, only the face rises and talks to Mascarade. Euwayne, with his body of water, usually lurks inside the house of Mascalade in this way. But he must also be an organism, and he is not here all four or six times because of his own intelligence activities. Rather, it is Eweyne's ability to gather information there while diffusing into Arnelian water. Because of this, Mascarade has more and more to do. Whatever it is, when Mascalade says where he wants information, Euwayne infiltrates and buys it. It's good to be easy, but it's not funny or anything that happened.

Mascarade talks to Euwayne as he stumbles across the table.

"You're not convenient."

"I'm afraid"

"But you can't infiltrate the Deep Green Palace, can you?

"There's holy water over there."

"You don't like holy water?

"No. The sanctified water itself is irrelevant, but you can have them think that the holy water is in the sensor range of the mermaid as it is. Sometimes we drain holy water from the Deep Green Palace to get an idea of the situation around this city. They say that mermaid lost the battle against Doom, but he's certainly the patron saint of that palace. In terms of avoiding intruders, it is perfectly equal"

"Hmm, that's what I'm doing. You can't get close to the water. I heard rumors of opposition to Miriazal in the Deep Green Palace. Is it hard to know?"

"That's what I'm talking about"

Mascalade thought. Somehow I know that there are forces in Arnelia that are hostile to Miriazar. Miriazal seems to fit many assassination attempts, and security in the Deep Green Palace is not just for black magicians. When that happens, you'll be sure to think there's a third force that won't involve the black magicians.

But who is he? What good does it do to anyone by driving Miriazal out of his position of power? At least, you won't be able to do anything about it in this situation where black magicians are now in active motion. Mascarade's greatest interest is in that regard, but it doesn't get to getting the identity inside.

I serve near Fenna as an amyl, but I don't have the means to get inside the Deep Green Palace early. Also, there are too many sharp people in the Deep Green Palace and the danger is too great. Step into it and you'll see who you are. If I manage to find out one opposition force, I think I can cut it off from there.

Mascalade abandons his stuck thoughts and talks to Euwayne again.

"Nah, what are you doing with the rice? You can't be fine if you drink water, can you?

"Absolutely. There's nourishment there."

"How?

"Do you care?

"Sort of."

Mascalade wondered if Euwayne, who looked like a marine creature, would only eat fish. Normally I wouldn't have cared about that, but the point is, I had so much time to spare that it bothered me.

But Euwayne started talking absurdly.

"I borrow some food from the outdoor shop there. That's all."

"... you, is that true?

"Yes, but..."

At that moment, Mascalade took the knife out of the hem at a stunning speed and threw it across Euwayne's face. Brilliantly, the knife pierces Euwayne's face, but Euwayne, the water, will not hurt.

A hole opened for a moment, and when that hole closed, Euwayne asked in a grumpy manner.
