The Branded Female Fencer

Guilty Sword of Oath, Part 34 ~ Anomalous ③ ~

"A mentor is a man in the same position as a witch, right? I don't think I want to hear much about it."

"Oh, I honestly don't want to take much care of you. They're even more closed than we are. Because they were too closed to even be persecuted. Still, there must be some intimacy with the witch, but because he always looks gloomy, we have to have a decent conversation."

"It also sounds like Muscade hates it unilaterally"

Muscade looked awkward to see if Aerial's words were just the way they were.

"As it were, well, I didn't do it to them. I prefer to be brighter on the bottom than that shady..."

"No, I didn't hear that."

"Oh well. But there was one better guy... with a quiet, intelligent, neat face. What a name. I'm supposed to be a summary of my current mentor."

"What kind of person are you?

As for Larna, who has Fairtoose as her teacher, she seems concerned. Because it means a man in the same position as Fairtoose.

Muscade answers.

"In the meantime, I knew very well beside myself that my powers as a magician were pulling out of the group. Wouldn't that magic be the best combination of witches? Even when I suppressed it, it was so full of magic outside.

Then it's just calm. I had the impression that I had a quiet great river in front of me. Yet I almost have vague memories of the character or what we talked about. Maybe it was some kind of magic trick. "

"Recognition inhibition?

"It could be. If that's the case, I'll be a sophisticated magician. He might know something."

"Where are you?

"He said he didn't know where he was. He said he was fluttering all over the continent. I also don't know how to contact you. That's why the mentors say they can't come up with a consistent view during this period of unrest. I'm not motivated at all."

To Muscade's words, Larna shrugged her shoulders a little. Because Fairtoose was also said to be the representative of a completely unmotivated witch. Neither is endorsement, let alone a position to be critical.

Eventually, the topic was changed by Aerial, inspired by the fact that Lucky the Cock had brought the meal.

"Speaking of which, this Muscade said he was on a Demon King crusade while mercenarizing around. He's got a long history of mercenaries there, too, right?

"Heh. You're a witch, but it's rare."

"Well. Witches, after all, don't make sense if you can't put that knowledge to the service of people. When I gained some knowledge and strength, I was instructed by my master, Granchelle, to complete my studies in the world. You can go out into the outside world, but you can't help but stand out."

Muscade rose to show off his long, red hair. Besides, he is tall enough to be close to Alphilis, and he is a distinct beauty with a noticeable nose. Witches are originally wearing thin clothes, but muscades in particular are highly exposed among them. Women are always harrassed around to see if those busty breasts spill with some kind of clap. Although Rosetta and Lisa are the only wind expecting some sort of incident. There was no indication that Ekla would fix that outfit at all, even if she cautioned quietly about it. I certainly can't help but stand out.

Muscade continues.

"I've come to the conclusion that if you're going to blend into people efficiently, you're quick to mercenarize them. I've not only asked for you as a magician, but I've also done life counseling and babysitting where things have changed. The Demon King's Crusade in Berens is part of it."

"The Demon King hunt in Berens... you heard it at the beginning of your journey. It was you. Then you seem pretty used to it, but how many years have you been a mercenary?

"Maybe 20 years."

Aerial and Alphilis face to face. I tend to forget about it, but their witches are not as old as they seem. I guess the same goes for Muscade.

Alphilis asked somewhat reluctantly.

"Hey, how old is Muscade?

"Hmm? Because I'm still young. I'm a little over 50."

"I'm young..."

"That would be right. Most official witches are over 200 years old. Everyone has a long life, so when you're appointed, you'll be about your age."

"What about the other disciples? Isn't there more than one disciple?

"There will be witches like that, but it will be the source of the sight feud. If I'm not officially appointed as a witch, I'll stray into the streets for the rest of my life. Witches don't recognize you as one of them without a title, even if it's just magic. It's not like that. So there's basically one witch trail. Many witches do that."

"What if there's an accident?

Muscade also answered the question of Aerial.

"In that case, a new witch is appointed from nowhere. Many are nominated by the Spirit. I don't know what laws work, but the chosen child is guided by nature and where his predecessor lived. That's where you'll find out what you're doing.

Many children will be nominated on the continent this time. "

"Why?"

"How could that be..."

That's it. Larna and Muscade looked at each other. They somehow hear what happened in the sorceress regiment in the news of the Spirit. We already know roughly what our master saw. But they have nothing to do with how she is. All of this is about the role being taken over, and death doesn't mean so much to them. We are part of nature, and if we die, we return to nature, that's all.

But the way I died this time was very problematic. Larna is not officially a disciple to take over the same attributes as Fairtoose, so she doesn't know in detail what happened to Fairtoose. In fact, by asking Muscade, it was the first time he had learned the details.

Muscade was also worried about who to talk to again. She wasn't officially acting as a witch, she was just used to people's worlds, so to speak, like a grace period. From Granchelle, do whatever you want for a while. Okay, so I was tempted to play mercenary with all this luck. My master, Granchelle, had the same temperament again, and he was probably called back when it was time to take over the role of witch with a good body of troubles. Before the Witch Regiment, it was rare for Granchelle to send a demon to Muscade, only to take notice that it might speed up the inheritance of the Witch, but she didn't think Granchelle would die. Did she already have some kind of hunch? There is no way to be sure now.
