The Branded Female Fencer
Guilty Sword of Oath, Part 37 ~ Crudas ⑥ ~
Lisa and Lunatica, plus Ips were going underground waterways. Ips leads the way and Renatica is by Lisa. They were going down a dim underground waterway. Every time they came to the turning road, Ips asked Lisa to explain the path, and they were walking leaving Ips to choose the path.
And walking for a few minutes. When Lisa opened up in the basement without a sense of time, she urged Ips to go outside. Just like when entering, there is a large exit in the waterway where surveillance is located. One to the west, one to the east, one to the north. Lisa and the others, who entered from the east, went out west, so they would have just crossed the town. Outside, the sun was already tilting and the sun was about to come. The air is already chilly, too.
As Ips turned around, he smiled and spoke to Lisa.
That's enough for today.
"Are you done yet?
"No. Now I generally remember the structure of the underground waterway. It's tonight."
Lisa was surprised. Ips wasn't walking appropriately, he was walking with the approximate structure in mind. And I was walking around asking Lisa about a small exit for emergencies, etc., so I guess I had the terrain in mind assuming I would fight. That's right, there was no way anyone who undertook a pilgrimage could just talk out of tune between them.
"Why at night?
"The enemy is probably just a thief, you know, like a demon. You're not in the shape of a person, are you? If you're in the shape of a person, you don't have to bother stealing, there are many other ways. When it comes to it, it's night time to work. It's no coincidence that we don't encounter this much walking around at noon time right now, and I think we're probably on the other side too!
Then, rather than pursuing the fleeing enemy in such a vast and poorly sighted space, I thought we could hang the bait in front of the enemy and aim where he ate it, but do something about it. "
"I see, when you pull a trap and attract me,"
"Rather than a trap, I think you're licking this one over there. Otherwise, I won't act so bold. Or maybe he's just a fool, but he's not always weak. I was wondering if you'd like to increase your chances of winning at all.
I'll use the Knights Temple men who can move under my authority to seal the exit. Gradually narrow the siege net from there, and let's clear out the enemy. "
"I see. Like pulling wheat, is it my stomach that I should squeeze it? It's not a bad idea."
"Then I'll pull it up once and get ready! Operation starts tonight with nine bells. Don't delay. No."
All that said, Ips pulled away while giving some sort of order to the guards. And both Lisa and Lunatica will raise their English once and for all.
But Ips was, as far as Lisa could tell, brilliant. It's also unusual for someone to stay together this long and not show a gap. Lisa naturally explored Ips, but was impressed with the completion of Ips as a fighter more than that. At the same time, she was aware that if she were a traitor, she would be a rather troublesome opponent.
Crudas was walking in town with me. His footsteps are heavy and dull. When Crudas looked up into the sky, the time was still past noon. Krudas, who had refrained from graduating from Gloria and had already become a regular Knights of the Temple, had completed obtaining all the school's essential credits. Therefore there are no more classes to attend, and he is free to be in town but in the school.
Although not much is said, Crudas is also good at studying. Alberto honestly wasn't very good at studying, and Rafferty was good at it, but not quite so far over Belliache. Crudas had nothing else to do besides his sword, so he encouraged him to study and his grades were very good. In addition to the basic classes, he majored in economics, political science and even literature, and had completed all his studies in terms of credits he could master in Gloria.
But those proficiencies never filled Crudus' heart. Miriazal knew about Crudas like that, which is why he let him out of town. Crudus has absolutely no time to spend as a normal boy. It was Miriazal's kindness to broaden his horizons a little.
Know it or not. Still, Crudas didn't do anything, he was wandering around town. My uncle at the fruit shop recommended me to get one fruit, and I hungry, so I put something appropriate in the dining room in my belly. Other than that, I had nothing to do with him. Now he sits in Central Square, depressed and watches the kids play. Beside it, the mothers of the children watch how it goes. And when one of them fell, a motherly figure was about to wake the child up, holding him gently and making him stop crying.
"To me... you didn't have that time of year."
Crudas remembered his childhood. I learned from my two brothers, and when I was tempted, I held my sword. My father Moldard told me that was natural, and Crudas didn't feel any discomfort. I could understand that it was not a imprint, but that having a sword was in itself, an instinct craving.
My mother kept her mouth shut about that, but she didn't necessarily prefer the situation, she felt thin. Crudas wasn't surprised why my mother thought of that, but it was the first time I had seen the sight in front of me. He said the sight that takes place in front of him is the everyday routine of normal parents and children. I was wondering where mothers would welcome, such as a toddler who meets with a sword and bleeds out of his head but still holds the sword and stands up to it. It's just that my mother killed her passion as the woman who married the Lazar family, and it was in line with her role. Maybe that's why he fell ill young and died prematurely.
