The Branded Female Fencer

"Layer, are you ready? Tonight we leave ahead."

"It's already happening. I turned the job I was supposed to take elsewhere, and I can accompany the Great Ice Plains without any problems. This job, from Alphilis?

"No, Alphilis tells me to like it when it comes to layers. So the accompaniment of the layer is a secret to the others. You'd better do that, wouldn't you?

"Right. It's going to be hard in there."

"Don't worry, I told him I would act differently as a scourge. If I were you, I wouldn't be seen by anyone else first. I think it would be a good experience to behave in cold weather, but what do we do? Now if you say no."

"Are you kidding me? I'm already willing to go, I am. You may not get a chance to wave your sword, but if it helps Alphilis, I'll go."

"Are you concerned about Alphilis?

To Renatica's words, Layer nodded.

"Oh, I care. You've saved us, and you seem to be aware of my strength. She owes me. If you want to wield power, I want to wield it for her."

"The object of the offering of the sword."

"It's not that big a deal. I just - I don't know if I want to be strong enough to be counted on."

"I like it - are you?

Layer ate his face at Renatica's words. Because I didn't think Renatica would care about that.

"What's the matter, Luna? Isn't it also a fever?

"I don't know what it feels like to be in love. When I was with the piece the other day, Lisa asked me the same thing. But I couldn't answer because I didn't know what kind of emotion it was. Lisa apologized for how troubled you looked."

"I don't know, I don't know."

Layer answered without hesitation, but he thought of Alphilis. layers not interested in women's shaping, but I have certainly found the alphilis beautiful when I am fighting. I thought that look wasn't bad to watch.

"Here we are."

"That's just fast"

"The earth where the ahead is isolated from here?

"It should be."

Rakia, who sent Lunatica and Layer, pointed in the direction of the earth closed at the tip of his nose. There is a constant breeze from the narrow road sandwiched by the boulder walls, and the twisted road that turns hides beyond. According to Lakia's story, this place beyond the rock shelf seems to be a closed earth. There's a storm blowing over the rock shelf, and if it's a concurrent dragon, the feathers will break. Therefore, it seems to be a land where there are no intruders.

But Lachia looked at the narrow path and narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"... weird. This is the first time I've been here, but I feel like the wind is blowing weaker. The wind is supposed to blow down so much that no more people or animals can get through. This is gonna get us through."

"Still pretty strong wind"

"Right. But if you're securing a place to get caught, you should move on. I'm gonna take a little flight and see what's ahead."

"Can't you take me?

"It's a storm about whether or not I can make it through the real dragon, right? Even if I protected you guys with magic, there's no guarantee you won't fall off my back. Come on down from the ground, it's safer."

Rakia instantly rose when she said so, disappearing into the clouds. This height is no longer a peak on the clouds. The air was thin and the temperature was enough to freeze the exhaling breath. Time should be warm from now on because it's morning, but I feel cut by the cold breeze that blows me.

Layer and Renatica took out the winter mountain gear they had been preparing and went on a narrow path. Two jobs serving as scouts are securing passageways. I asked Daron why the giants, who are supposed to live in the originally isolated earth, would come out here, but they seem to have a secret passage that only they know, and if used by others, they would not be able to leave alive, or, if taught, they would be expelled from the giants without question. Besides, it seems that a time has been set that can pass during the course of the year, and that at other times, even giants could not guarantee their lives. This narrow road had long prevented people from crossing, but it was decided to give the impression that the closets could pass more than they had called for the alphilis, and to investigate first whether Renatica could pass.

Two people equipped with shoes with clasps to prevent them from slipping in the snow and gloves with anti-slip gloves, roping each other's hips and challenging narrow roads, slopes are also strong narrow roads, but the strength of the wind blowing down is not concurrent. Even Renatica thought this was a hell of a place to be the weaker one, but the two gradually moved forward, putting a pile of rings on their heads against the wall through the ropes and securing their way one by one. The walls were very brittle and nearly collapsed from time to time, but when some rock skin peeled off, the pile was fixed disappointingly as the geology itself seemed to be a solid wall.

And a whole day of going without rest on the narrow road. Even though they were about to run into a rock flying in strong winds along the way, they went through narrow paths and out into isolated land.

"Hmm."

"Beautiful place."

Unexpectedly Layer and Lunatica were leaking admiration. It was the silver world on one side that opened before them. The white world, dominated by tranquillity worthy of calling it stillness, did not even have the beat of life and boasted a beauty completed as if it refused the existence of moving objects. The world was so white that it seemed like a permanent sight.

Looking at the sight for a moment, Renatica told the layer without even showing a tired look.

"I turn back once. Down the hill while securing a location where the troops can rest. The role of the layers..."

"You're going to do the same thing on this land. I'll look for a place to start. There may be a guide for the Ice Plains witch, and that's about as good as it gets because I'll have trouble wasting it. Besides, it doesn't look as quiet as it looks."

"Oh, have you noticed? On the wind..."

"You'll smell blood from afar. I'm pretty sure something's going on."

Layer and Renatica nodded together, each walking out in the opposite direction.

Then we'll be safe with each other.

"Oh, once we've secured a location to be a base, ask for a landmark so we know where it is"

That is all he said, and they went to their own work. Less than ten days until the Tenma knights, led by Tasha, arrive. I could have predicted that I would be quite busy.
