The Branded Female Fencer

Lisa was blind, so she had a few of the clerks on her assistant. Skipping the instructions to the scribes, the material quickly piles up beside Lisa. Lisa accidentally roared at the number.

"The number of reported burglaries is still quite high. Considering what hasn't been reported, is there about five times as many cases?"

"Maybe more. And can I borrow your map?

When Ips borrowed the map from the scribe, he began writing something there, in the main. Lisa feels and remembers the place.

"... if you do it and the scene isn't extensive?

"That's right, this could be all over Arnelia. And the order in which you wrote it is in the order in which it occurred. You're apparently going to be distressed to make the scene opposite each other. Hey. But the opposite is unnatural."

Lisa nods at Ips' allegations.

"Right. Criminals, such as ordinary burglars, repeat the offense in the same place. Not only does that change the place, but it also carries out burglaries on the same day at the opposite pole, where you're not supposed to know what's going on. That's not only from outdoor stores, but also from the average household.

Normally, it's a coincidence, or it's what Azuma did. If it were the same person, would this killer, or the killers, have been confident that they would never find him? "

"Normally, it would be the work of a bunch of idiots. But this is obviously unnatural. All I'm saying is it's a little weird that you're targeting the whole area and you're still not sure you can find it. If you're confident, that's going to keep an eye on this whole Arnelia thing, right?

"Such an idiot. Even Lisa can't do that. If we could do that, would we just have sensors out of common sense or looking at them from the sky"

"... there might be another one."

Lisa put her neck around Ips' allegations, but Ips smiled and pointed primarily to the ground.

"The underground waterway. From here, with certain special abilities, it might be possible to keep an eye on the whole of Arnelia."

Lisa didn't miss the fact that Ips' expression tightened one step to her light-hearted tone and back.

"Yes, that's the end of the treatment. You can go home when you feel better."

"Say... thank you for your help, Doctor"

Jake, who had received Crudus' machete head-on during his swordsmanship training, had passed out and been transported to the emergency room. Often accompanied by Dute Hilde and others, but because of the next class, Ms Hamitte in the emergency room returned them and looked after Jake.

Jake, who was only having a mild concussion, woke up less, but Hamitte had ordered his morning rest on his glitzy vision. And to treat the head injury, the bandage was just rewound at the end. I was scheduled to return to class this afternoon.

When Jake weaves his jacket, Ms Hamitte has recommended warm tea.

"You don't have to hurry. Slow down a little bit."

"But..."

"But there's no hiccups, it's an order as an ambulance. But if you don't, you can't rest a soldier with dignity. Resting is part of the job, you know?

"... okay"

Jake followed her quietly because there was also a point in what Ms Hamitte said. I feel like I'm taking good care of this emergency room. The shitty treatment of Dute Hilde is also gradually getting better because of the constant wounds on Jake. Because she majors in the process of being able to learn a lot of healing magic without matching that mighty accuracy, or when Jake gets hurt, she rushes to fix it as soon as possible. Whatever the truth, Jake understood it that way.

And at the same time, I realized that I had never made the conversation decent while taking care of Ms Hamitte so much. She glances over the paperwork as she gently scrapes tea, but I've come to realize lately that she's not a regular faculty member. And Jake tries to throw abrupt questions.

"What teacher, no mouth?

"... you got it all figured out"

Ms. Hamitte affirmed Jake's words as she closed her eyes. I also think Jake could admit it so easily, but Ms Hamitte has unexpectedly and honestly responded to the conversation.

"How did you know?

"Somehow. I guess it's because I've been getting somewhat stronger lately. I think a strong person can hide his strength or something, but I'm starting to get a little bit of that too. So will Dr. Ruddle, for example, and there are several people sneaking into this school who seem to have no mouth. I'm sure they've been ordered by Miriazal to protect our students and all sorts of things, don't you think?

"Well, you're right first."

Ms Hamitte stroked Jake's head squeamishly. Jake thought she was a more supple person, so I was a little surprised by her behavior.

"Sure, I don't have a mouth. But I'm halfway retired. That's why they let me work here."

"Hmm. No. If you think you'll admit it lightly, do you? You look stronger than all the mouthless people in the Deep Green Palace."

"hehe, thanks"

Hamitte urged Jake to go back to class when he stumbled on his forehead. Pre-bells were ringing at some point. After that, one person will have tea and crush.

"Do you see that in that year? It would be a sin for the High Priest Miriazal to tailor that boy to the point where he is still only a boy."

Ms Hamitte's eyes were shining a sharp and sad light.
