The Branded Female Fencer

"I'm sorry, but I can't say this either."

"Again?

"But I'm sure I'll know what her words mean sooner or later. And the reason I couldn't say anything. Speaking of which, think that all that aunt's actions will be attributed to nothing, be patient."

"... if you say so much, you just have to shut up. It's bad."

Alphilis criticized Yugdrasil with a further flurry, but he didn't change his attitude either. The look wasn't mean, it was just a quiet, but immovable attitude that made the will of steel disappoint.

I know I can't hear any more about that look, and when the muggled alphilis sees the sight under my eyes, I accidentally divulge that sentiment.

"That's a magnificent view. I wonder if this is heading north."

"That's right. in the direction of an isolated earth."

"Close - the land protected by the witches of the ice fields, isn't it?

"It's not accurate that I'm protecting you. Originally, there was absolutely no interaction with other lands. Those who can no longer live in people, or those who have been driven away, live here. If we go further north among them, we will also see a species that is no longer only spoken of in legend.

The world also needs these lands. Not everything can live in the sun, and any world needs a place to escape. "

"You think the witches in the ice fields are protecting them?

"I'm not protecting someone specific. It retains its potential, I suppose. But the previous generation of Icefield witches could have been on someone's side personally. And now the witch of the icefield."

"Close. I wonder how she's doing."

Alphilis remembers the ice witch who helped him when he was shipwrecked in Pilebos. Its beautiful expression, which speaks without expression, is remembered all the time. And what I enthusiastically solicited. Even after Arnelia, I am relaxed, but there is an exchange of letters.

"You haven't heard from me lately, have you been busy?"

"I don't know. But without a doubt, you will go to an isolated land."

"Why?"

"It is destiny and inevitability. Neither can this earth be closed forever. If things get so big, there's no land to be unrelated to. Besides, it's not even closed anymore."

"What do you mean?

"You should check it with your own eyes once. Before that, the Ice Plains witch might send some news."

To Yugdrasil's way of saying it, Alphilis felt something. There is a change coming to this earth. That's why Yugdrasil brought herself here. Alphilis was dying to see what was on this earth.

And as I glanced at the ridge of Pilebos with my eyes, I remembered even more.

"Romansland is one way or the other"

"I guess you don't see it coming from here."

"Oh, well, Anne seems to be doing well."

"Who?

"Second Crown Princess of Romansland, we're friends."

Yugdrasil felt strange watching Alphilis speak with pleasure. He knows how Romansland is now. Therefore, I was a little sorry for the innocence of Alphilis.

"... seems very close."

"Well, I know it's been over a year, but we're still exchanging letters. I even know her food hobbies by now, and I even promised to lend her a Fei Long."

"Is this fate, too? The more brutally connected you are."

"... do something meaningful again. Does Anne have something for you, too?

"Ask Miriazal or Miranda that, too, and they'll give you some kind of answer. More than that, have you found any answers to the challenges you previously put out?

"Challenges?"

"On the weakness of the lifeless."

To Yugdrasil's words, Alphilis worried a little and nodded briefly.

"... maybe half"

"Well, can I ask you something?"

"First, about the secret of his immortality. As it happens, a child named Aeruare of the Crusading Squad fired an effective blow against the Lifeless. I'm only at the hypothetical stage of what the magic she used is, but to some extent, the identity of the lifeless immortals is getting squeezed."

"By the way, what's the most powerful?

"In my opinion - his body itself is made up of magic"

Alphilis told him so, somewhat bewildered. When Yugdrasil heard the answer, his eyes glistened.
