The Branded Female Fencer

"What's the matter with you?

"It's the result of getting stuck on the line without even hearing Gail's idiot stop around. Looks like he stepped in too deep to inch Deputy Line."

"Oh well. But Gail is amazing."

"Where?

"I think the awesomeness of the line is its exact reading. Perhaps Gail improves faster than normal people to take that reading off. Maybe Gail will get stronger."

"Huh."

Elsia stared at Gayle stretching out at her knees as if she'd heard an unexpected word, but secretly thought she didn't feel that way.

I can't help but care more about layers for Elsia than that.

"Better than that, since when did you think you'd have a sword?

"In the last battle, I guess."

"So you've been sensed around? I wonder if he's finally a boy."

"It's not like that. I just can't protect myself."

"Well, that's a negative reason."

"You can be passive. If you just live a solid life, you can live a discreet life just carrying loads. If you stand up, academics are more certain than swords. You don't have to bother to have a sword when the world is right in front of you."

"Are you as unwilling as ever"

Elsia sighed heavily, just saying she didn't expect it anymore. Layer looks like trouble when he sees Elsia like that, he turns his footsteps toward the line. I started practicing swords with him.

Every evening layers practicing lines and swords became all around them already, and at first the vice president of the regiment himself rarely surrounded layers on which to arch, but because their archery was so basic and plain, no one even looked to them. That was the same for Elsia and Gail, but Rhine and Layer have been doing the same habit for the past month or so. We all wondered if it was also a special promise between them, but no one asked, nor did they speak to the surroundings.

And Elsia was so depressed that Gail, who had passed out, could not move that she watched the line and the archery of the layer. Rosetta and Aerial come by there.

"Hey, isn't Gail awake yet?

"Yeah, there's not even a sign of waking up."

"Should I carry it?

"Well, it started to get cold at night. Well, when I heard later that Rosetta hauled me to my bedroom, I felt terribly sorry for her."

"When will you do the opposite?

"Don't be a nasty joke"

Elsia stares at Rosetta, but Rosetta is the same wind that blows.

"You don't think it's nasty. Sure, Atai teases Gail all the time, but with or without attractions, Atai thinks it is someone. Gail is an idiot, but he has guts. If I don't bend over, I could be a good man. Don't you think?

Either way, I don't like it.

"Ugh, you're tough! Whatever you think, this kid will care about you."

"That's not what I found out. If I'm not rich or noble, I don't even want to deal with them."

"Gold in the world? You're so intelligent."

Rosetta tells Elsia the expression correctly, though she said it as if it was frightening.

"So, was today's training helpful?

"... you mean the poking of the emerald?

"You know exactly what I mean. I wanted to show you that."

"Well, I thought her poking was beautiful."

Elsia uttered her honest thoughts. In Elsia's physique, which is not yet grown up, there is a limit to the power of the sword to be wielded. Rosetta was of the opinion that given the lethal wound inflicted on the person wearing the armor with Elsia's arm strength, she needed an unmatched poke of precision that would plug her out of the gap in the armor.

I don't know what to hide, I used to be too. When Rosetta was still a girl, when it came to how to defeat the enemy, it was an ambush, deception, and poking. Rosetta became more than a man with concomitant arm strength early on from the characteristics of his race, but we cannot hope the same for Elsia, a pure human being. Rosetta had a headache for herself about Elsia's nurturing methods.

That is the same for Elsia. And instead, they focused on remembering sword moves specific to poking. And Rosetta showed Elsia the sword of Emerald, who was the best at poking in the regiment.

"The poking of emeralds is a thing of nature, but it is possible to reach that realm in practice. With that sharpness, it will work for most enemies."

"How long will it take to reach that technology?

"Normally, three years early. It's a talented story."

"That's a long way off."

Rosetta laughed bitterly as Elsia had a pompous maternity shop.

"You don't like it?

"Nothing. If you have to, just do it."

"Good reply."

Rosetta croaked and stroked Elsia's head, but Aerial wondered when she saw Elsia wouldn't resist.

"Elsia, what were you distracted by?

"... that"

What Elsia pointed out was line and layer practice. Seeing, I almost put my sword away, thanking each other if I had finished practicing. Aerial asks.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see it, but is there something wrong with it?

"... yeah, I'm sure it's my fault. Let's go now, Gail will be carried by Rosetta."

"You don't think I can give you a hand with childhood?

"Unlike you, I'm weak."

"That's not the only time you get a maiden."

Rosetta says bump, but walks out with Gail on her back. Elsia and Aerial also followed her, but Elsia looked back at the lines and layers she would discuss at the end of the practice.

"(It's your fault, isn't it? I practiced the same type all the way from start to finish, but at first very slowly, gradually faster, and at the end I was full of eyes to chase. In the meantime, I can't believe I haven't had a single spatial rash unless it's my fault, to keep meeting the same place in the same time... and that's not how you can make a layer that just had a sword, is it?

Elsia dismissed her thoughts. That's with the idea that you always want to be superior to the layers and that you can't possibly do that to a young man who just had a sword. And Elsia didn't know exactly what was going on, but it was still years away that Elsia knew that the move to meet the same space in the same way could actually happen in practice between masters.
