The Branded Female Fencer

Most importantly, as Lisa, who is always in contact and sees a lot of alarmed places, I didn't get a sense of reality when I heard that Alphilis was getting that much attention. Lisa was following Ipps' feet through the groundwaterway, trying to say something back, but then feeling something unexplained because she was going to defend Alphilis, or perhaps regretting just acknowledging Alphilis. and Lisa hits the back of a suddenly stopped Ips.

"Ips, what's wrong?

"... I was just wondering if I needed to broil it out somewhat because I wasn't even looking for all that, but it looks like something changed. The enemy is in quite a hurry."

"? Still nothing on my sensors... Mmm!?

I'm not sure how Ips sensed the presence of the enemy before Lisa, but it is true that for a few moments of delay, Lisa also sensed the presence of someone traveling at high speeds. It wasn't just the surface, it was traveling through the groundwaterway at high speeds flying around walls, ceilings, etc.

At the same time, Ips looked difficult. It is the first expression of confusion to appear.

"This is... I'm in trouble."

"What's wrong?

"Of course I was thinking about the possibility that the enemy wasn't human. Ah. Or the possibility of being more than one person or a spy or agent of another country. But this enemy - he's bigger than I imagined. You may be a little under-prepared to fight."

"You think these three are short?

"It is of course possible to defeat depending on the conditions. But while the enemy I couldn't find earlier was lightly exposed, it's not yet coming this way. Isn't this a situation where the enemy isn't up against us, but is running away under some circumstances?

"Run away? From who?

"I don't know."

Ips answered like a blur, but contemplated the existence of yet another. I couldn't help thinking about it any more because I lacked the most information I could think about.

And Ips sensed yet another human being in the groundwaterway.

"Besides, we don't seem to be the only ones in the underground waterway. I'm already in the range that even Lisa's sensors can sense, so Huh?

"Is this... Jake? And, surely, the footsteps of Alberto's brother, His Highness? How did you get here?

Hearing Lisa's reply, Ips decided to change the operation.

"I see. I don't know the details, but this could be an opportunity. Lisa, I'll try to do something about this on my own, so, uh, Crudus, could you arrange for me to contact you and have your handlers drop by from the Temple Knights?

"So many opponents?

"Perhaps, and no, don't forget that there are many ordinary citizens over our heads. I'm disqualified as a member of Arnelia in case there seems to be damage to them."

"Hmm. I've reviewed you somewhat, but you don't need our backup?

"Instead, if it was a fight, I was going to ask you to do that. My abilities are a little out of sight, so it's more convenient to fight alone."

Lisa honestly decided to respond to her offer as Ips replied with a confident smile.

"I see. If you say that much, you will have to obey me. But only one. How did you figure out the status of this underground waterway faster than I did?

"Hehe, this underground waterway is already at the source of my simplified junction! It's hard to get out of my hands at the end of the day when you get inside this, huh? If you're convinced, will you just go? There doesn't seem to be much time left."

"Okay. Good luck, then. I'm coming, Luna."

"Yeah."

Lisa and Renatica walked away from Ips with it, but Ips smiled and waved off from behind. And a certain distance away, he sighed heavily.

"Ahhh, I'm finally out of depression. I was trying to figure out how not to wind up when it was a fight, but now you can fight without worrying about it. I don't know what kind of accusations you'll make if you want to hurt one or the other with the convolutions. If this is a land far from Arnelia, you can hide it even if you kill it somewhat, Arnelia. Bye. Because there are also barbars (yuzuku is), and I won't lie to you no matter what happens if they reproduce what happened in magic.

Well, let's just say it's been a while since we've been busted. I've been doing all my paperwork lately, my shoulders are stiff, my shoulders are stiff... "

Ips slowly walked to a different path from Lisa as she turned her shoulder.

So Lisa and Jake joined. We were questioning each other as to why we were here, but the vibrations of the battle were coming through the water faster than they would say it.

"Is this... is the battle starting?

"I see. Maybe this does need reinforcements. There's one message, knight."

"To me?

Lisa glanced at Crudus, and Lisa passed on the message of Ips. Lisa doesn't know anything about Crudus. Crudas was puzzled by Ips' message that he wanted me to call for reinforcements, but still couldn't have listened if it had been the instructions of the pilgrims. I was wondering what had happened to that instruction with a rare and difficult face on Crudas, and Jake was looking at the shadow that someone had passed behind Lisa. The shadow was faint, but Jake felt somewhere familiar with it.

"Lisa, someone just passed behind you, didn't they?

"No, I didn't sense anything..."

"Neither do I. Isn't that your fault?

Even Lunatica agreed, but I really didn't think it was Jake's fault. I mean, the bug news, or Jake's instinct was telling him he needed to know what was going to happen next. Earlier, when the shadow ran away, he told me there was something there.
