The Branded Female Fencer
Guilty Sword of Oath, Part 31 ~ Groundwaterway ① ~
"So, you think the killer's moving through this?
"Of course there are these facilities, but there are people to inspect. However, Arnelia's waterways are so complex and vast that there are still many untouched parts of them. If we could run around this endlessly, the killer wouldn't be caught that way."
"Besides, could it be a reason to be everywhere in an oddly early hour? It's going to be worth looking into."
"I think so. Then let's go ~"
Ips trying to get into the waterway when they encourage those responsible for protecting the water purification plants and let them unlock them. Lisa then followed him, telling him what she had doubts about.
"Because I don't call for backup?
"You don't have to. If you put in a large number of people, they might be tempted, too, and no. I think your sensor capability is actually a big deal, so if you have one, you won't have a problem with your enemies. Besides, I'm good enough fighting alone."
"You seem confident in your arms."
Lisa was going to skip a little sarcasm, but Ips flushed it off sarcastically.
"Sure. One of the conditions for us to be chosen as the top digit of our pilgrimage is the experience of crusading the Demon King alone. Yeah, well, we're not gonna be late for the same demon king, are we?
"I wish they were together."
"Sure you're right. No. So if you're in trouble, I thought I'd ask your escort there to help."
Lisa tongued inside to what Ips pointed out. Lisa moves her jaw softly, and from beyond, Renatica shows up. Of course Lisa doesn't do the kind of copying she wants for this job alone. Lisa was able to sneak up on Renatica and tell her to cover herself if she needed anything.
But since when has Ips noticed? Lisa felt the movement of her face, which she would be smiling in front of Lisa, not to mention naturally, and was quite angry at the light tone combined.
"... that's the soldier (the one) on the pilgrimage assignment. How long have you known?
"I've noticed you've been caught tail (s) from the start. I just didn't really explore the signs because I don't have any hostility, because I just noticed them when I went into the waterway.
I think we should just work with each other from here on out. "
"I see. Whatever you say is best."
When Lisa nodded that way, Renatica unraveled the structure in her heart. If Lisa was willing to do that, Renatica secretly wondered if there was any chance of getting rid of this Ips, but that didn't seem necessary. And Renatica doesn't even think for herself. If we antagonize this Ips here, we know how badly we will be put in a position. I don't even know exactly how bad it was, but I was only able to think of Renatica as well that it was very unfavourable.
But Lisa didn't peddle what Ips said. Lisa was not relieving herself of her guard as to how she could do that to someone she had just met, when even her full companion would not reveal herself sooner. Such an idea should have been suited to Lisa's inner mind, but Ips spoke to Lisa so that she could even spot it.
"Aha, you can just cooperate on the surface ~. You can't trust me if I tell you to keep your back early. Hey. Rather, that's about as much as I can trust, too. So, I just want to make up my mind about the policy ahead of me from here and the simple signals, so would you mind holding a meeting?
They were going to work out an operation with Ips, bewildered by both Lisa and Renatica, who gave them a total smile.
At this point, Lisa's predictions are roughly correct. Ips does have an unafraid personality and barely tells Lisa what's at stake. Yes, for example, Lisa has no reason to know that most of her achievements are due to demonic multi-crusades, nearly three times more than Elsa's in pure demonic crusades.
