The Branded Female Fencer

Larna was in the middle of shopping with Muscade and Irmatal and Emerald. When Larna is in the mercenary corps, she does mostly chores. It's also her fine job to magically reinforce the mercenary stronghold or to give the mercenaries the tools that conferred some sort of magical effect, but other than that, she preferred to offer to work down.

Larna was born with few memories of this, other than the marshes. For her, it was the swamps surrounded by dim colors of gray and black that were the whole of the world, and the knowledge given by Fairtoose was all about herself. If Larna hadn't had the gift of knowing something from the darkness around her, she must have either been bored and jumped out of the swamp at last or had been caught and killed by the earthlings along the way. It was her nature that made her survive this far.

But she is in the world of light today. While Arnelia here was out of traffic, it was not uncommon for the characteristics of the city to bring together rare items from all over the land, and for day and night, the products lined up in outdoor shops were renewed. For this reason she was taking care of Emerald and Ilmatal, rolling out to the town of Arnelia with her own interest. Larna liked to imagine all parts of the world from what she saw.

And Larna cherished her conversation with Muscade. Fairtoose was certainly also the head of the witch and an excellent witch, but he was too opposite in nature to teach the knowledge of darkness. Even with her knowledge as a book, her nature did not allow the use of dark magic.

In that regard Muscade was able to practice some dark magic and show it because of its loose bondage as an attribute. When it came to Larna's radiant face at that time, it was like the muscade she was teaching would tickle, but in time, the muscade began to notice. If Rana had studied dark magic so far on her own, how compatible would it be with that attribute? Its qualities were that it might be out of the group among the next generation of witches.

And as Muscade stared at Rana like that from behind, Rana, Emerald and Ilmatal were interested in their shopping. Though fewer townspeople were surprised to see Emerald and Irmatal, their appearance was still remarkable, so they could shop uncomfortably if it was right to put their robes together from day to day like Rana. But if there were four of us wearing robes softly, it would stand out in response, but the townspeople were smiling and missing out on that.

"Hey, Larna. Buy this."

"Rana, Mani"

"Yes, yes, up to 200 pens."

Ilmatal denies it when Larna tries to give him a penny.

"Larna, if you're shopping now, your change will be 528 pens, right? Give us 250 quid each."

"? I haven't accounted for it yet."

"You can tell by looking at it like that ~"

Larna looked at the basket when she saw Irmatal get fuzzy. Inside the basket are spices, ingredients, and accessories of more than 20 different kinds taken from multiple shelves. Did you count these sums immediately? Speaking of which, sometimes Irmatal reads books collected by Alphilis. That's what Alphilis calls books. That's tactical teaching and sorcery books, and more than half of them are even incomprehensible content for Larna. I thought Irmatal was just imitating Alphilis, but you don't think he understands the content? Larna was now remembering that Irmatal was a young body of true dragons.

"Il, where did you learn the basics of arithmetic?

"If you look at that, you'll see ~. Things have a way of counting one by one, and when you collect 10 pieces, you get about one. All you have to do is figure out how to put that count together, and you can't go wrong if you even get the hang of it ~. Besides, can I come back here in five days?

"I don't mind that, but why?

"Purchase here, every 7 days from outside Arnelia. My next purchase is in 4 days, and I asked for the ornament I wanted earlier, so it should arrive in 5 days."

"Wait a minute, how do you know about purchasing this store?

"The leaves of Karaja, the wrinkles behind the leaves spread a little after the day. If you look closely, you'll see how many days it's been since. After more or less 7 days of Karaja leaves, the quality is reduced, but this is the only place that purchases these leaves in this area that can be used for spices and medicines, and this store picks up items to match the purchase of these leaves. I just checked the back of the leaves. Purchasing is yesterday, so in four days there must be a purchase."

"... such a way of discerning"

"I also asked Jessia for the trick. And you can tell me the leaves of Karaja."

"Huh?"

"Emerald ~, now let's go that way. There's got to be a new book being purchased."

"Way."

Irmatal got tired of explaining, innocently rushed in the direction of Emerald and the day after tomorrow. The Leftover Larna as Pocahontas dropped off after that.

Muscade walks softly from behind.

"The son of a true dragon has shown great innocence and talent."

"Yeah, True Dragon is a creature that can talk to nature, but you're right. I'm a little jealous."

"We can also talk about elephants of our own attributes."

"Right. But suppose, what would it feel like to hear all the voices of nature?

"That... on the other hand, it could be loud"

"(Lifeless or alphilic. How do those who use multi-attributes, like them, feel? Lifeless said it was loud, but what about Alphilis?

Larna was listening to Muscade with that in mind. Muscade is crushing his words like he's talking to himself.

"Speaking of which, there's a hell of a lot of monsters behind Arnelia. That's three ancient warcraft to detect from the signs... and another, I wonder what's even bigger. When you become mightier than the ancient Warcraft, True Dragon? No, even more ancient dragons from previous generations. I've only heard of it, but I don't know if I can give it to you."

"Ancient dragon... yes!

Larna looked up as if she remembered something.

"If you're an ancient dragon... you might know what that word means!

"What's all of a sudden?

"The vain, the meaning of the word."

"Oh, speaking of which, you cared. But how do we meet?

"If you threaten the supreme bishop a little, you'll be able to just meet him"

"... you know, sometimes I say horrible things."

Muscade shrugged, dragging Irmatal and Emerald back early, pressing the shopping bag, leaving the latter to the impulse that was brushing on Emerald's hips, and himself and Muscade hurried to the Deep Green Palace.

The people around them looked at the impulses that had been pushed to babysit them for several days.
