The Branded Female Fencer

Small ripples, part 31 - Renatica question ① -

Rhine was finishing his day's duties and eating alone in his private room. This is a rare way to spend time because he often eats with his peers in the dining room. But I wanted to be alone because I wanted to think about forming a team based on today's results. Because I wanted to sum up my thoughts and then talk to Cowen.

Cowen turns his head really well. Her words and actions did depend on Rhine, but at the same time she felt nervous that she could be eaten out of her head and manipulated if she spoke of something far-fetched. Rhine was reluctant to consult with Cowen without preparation.

Someone snuck into the room of such a line. Unexpectedly, Lunatica came to the Rhine room.

"I was here."

"What, you? You know as much as I do."

"Because of Larna and Muscade, it's very hard to detect any signs of who's in which room. Convenient given the defense. But honestly, it's inconvenient."

"Must be. So, what can I do for you? If you crawl at night, do it after tomorrow."

"If you want me to, I will"

"... just kidding"

Rhine remembered. For Renatica, he said he was the superior officer, and for Renatica, his orders were absolute. I'm still an unfriendly opponent around there, so I can't even joke about it in a detour. Because if you joke and tell him to take it off on this occasion, Renatica will do so without hesitation.

Rhine inquired with a sigh.

"So, what can I do for you?

"About the layer. What do you say?"

"Well, what?"

"About Knight Sword Mastery. I do his training too, but I wanted to meet once to see if my training would stay out of the way"

"You're serious."

The line turned brown, but Renatica replied with no expression.

"I'm also curious. Since I started learning the Knight Sword, this training has been very advanced. I just can't be disciplined enough to move, so I told him to take that clap off today, and he quickly learned. Layers are unusual these days, they may get too strong"

"You think so, too?

To Renatica's words, Rhine now answered seriously. Because the line was also inside, with the same fear.

"Actually, there are around 20 sword types I can use."

"I know up to 10 or so"

"Right. There are even bad ones and trump card ones, so some I use and some I don't use. When I told the layers about it, they made me want to know all the moulds. I told you not to do it because it's confusing, but first I thought I'd teach you one that's easy to remember. I've been teaching for three days."

"So, you remember yet?

"Exactly. As for the mould, it's the one that falls into the easy category, and there are about three movements required to meet the sword. But it's a talent to be able to swing all of that up the speed of the sword with the same dimensions. Earlier, I was dragged along too as the layers increased the sword speed. If one of them was damaged, it was a meeting of speeds that would cause a huge injury, no matter how much the practice sword. I didn't get hurt because the layers were so accurately punched in.

Layers become horrible swordsmen. Don't worry if I can teach you the sword like this. "

"Is that because you can't stop yourself?

To Renatica's inquiry, Rhine laughed all the time.

"Abo, let it go. I need another 10 years to make that kid stronger than me."

"Really? Don't you just feel safe because you have a trump card?

"There's that too. But unless he knows what a swordsman is, I don't feel like losing."

"Do you have a swordsman? What does that have to do with strength?

"Yes. You're an assassin, don't you see? No, I guess he's also an assassin. I bet on that life and the sword. If Layer had it, he'd be a really scary man."

"Embrace. It's a feeling I don't know, is it like a pledge?

"Um, well, is that it? I know it's a lot smaller for everyone, but in situations that divide life and death, it works. I thought I was frowning, too, but I was actually helped by that many times. Keep it in the corner of your head, it'll help.

Well, go to sleep now. We stayed up late. It's time for the kids to go to bed. "

Seeing Renatica round her eyes at the tone of the line that kicks her out, the line wanders the other way around.

"What, did you care?

"No, it's been a long time since I've been treated like a child. It was fresh."

"Fact is, you're not a kid yet. It's really early years to have a weapon."

"Well, I sure am. But I could think. Suppose we hit the wind a little at night and then go to sleep."

Did Renatica think of something, instead of the door as it was, she started walking towards the window.

"Whoa, this is the third floor, though?

"The rooftop is close"

He said, "Oh, yeah."

Renatica put her hand in the window compartment, causing her body to go straight up. The line complains when he sees the open window.

"Don't leave me open, dammit. But, well."

Rhine found Lunatica who went straight to the roof of another building. Her slightly stretched silver hair appears on the moonlight. Seeing the silver shining in the dark night, Rhine accidentally leaked his thoughts. Looking at the same sight, there seems to be others.

"You have a white moon shining today. You look great in there, Lunatica."

Rhine crushed his honest feelings and was to get back to his job.
