The Branded Female Fencer

"I don't have a very good feeling about it, but if it's just a story, let's hear it"

"Actually, we're in great trouble right now. Because of the newcomers who have recently appeared on this earth. They're strong, and our fangs and nails bounce back. Above all, it is very sturdy and numerous, and there is no point in knocking it down or knocking it down. It's the end of being chased where they lived."

"Speaking of which, this cave doesn't smell very strong on you either. Doesn't look like he's been living here very long. I was hoping you could help me get my old home back."

"It's quick and helpful to talk. So..."

"Say no."

The layer said away with a light, faceless look. And before Orolon could argue, he said, "Oh, my God.

"I'm in the middle of a job right now. I sympathize with your situation, but it's not a priority. We'll figure it out ourselves."

"Really? Perhaps it has nothing to do with your work. Isn't that the witchcraft of the icefield?

"... how do you know it is?

"Kid, you think we're stupid? Humans have entered a land they've never set foot on in decades, right? I guess it's natural to think there's something there. Besides, let's panic about the witch in the ice field who came into this earth the other day. Even idiots can tell."

"Or so it is."

Layer thought a little. I haven't heard from Renatica yet. Of course, I don't know where we are because of the battle with the Orolons, so one way or another I need the means to get in touch with myself. Besides, I knew very well that the climate of the ice fields I felt on my skin was not what would happen to me without knowledge. Then how much help do we need from Orolon? Rendezvous with my bare hands has no art, and I just wanted some handles.

"... okay, let's hear that story"

"Hmm, shall we go outside when the storm passes? Until then, save your strength."

That said, Orolon himself went to sleep. When Layer sighed one unexpected event and Orolon's restful sleep, he went right into sleep again.

Victoria and the relative Alphilis dined together as recommended, and Victoria got down to business with one paragraph. The Victoria's house was just as small for everyone to hear, so we were to listen first in Alphilis, Rhine, Lisa, Renatica, Rosetta, Daron, Muscade, Lachia, etc.

When they all gather in Victoria's living room, they each form a place of thought. Once again, Victoria thanked him deeply. Closes and Victoria sit next to each other.

"Overlapping. Thank you for listening to my impossible wishes."

"Don't be like that. Besides, we're not you, we just came here to follow the word of the closet. It's another question of whether or not to listen to your wishes."

"You're certainly right. But I know this may be an unrelated issue for you."

"What do you mean?

"Excuse me, but I've heard from the closet about you - especially Lord Alphilis."

That's it. Hilariously, Victoria throws her gaze at the others. Alphilis also perceived the meaning in an instant.

"Don't worry. There's only one person here who knows what's going on."

"Don't hesitate, then. The land has begun to flood with demon kings. For one thing, it's thought to be influenced by black magicians."

Wictrier cut the words short. Everyone breathes unexpectedly because of its thoughtfulness. It's something that everyone here had somehow imagined, but when they say it face to face, I still feel that.

"So he called us."

"Yes. Let's start by explaining it from the beginning. The beginning of this already dates back nearly 30 years. This land, which we call the North Seal, was a peaceful land inhabited by phantom beasts to the north, us in the centre, and the giants to the south, and where a relative shame was made. Occasionally, the invisible territory and boundaries caused a stir, but it is roughly peaceful. We lived with the minimum necessary hunting and gathering. It was also a reality that because of the intense climate change, mobility would be irresistible without knowledge of the climate. So for the giants out there, it's the first time we've ever heard of them -- or maybe we've never even heard of them."

"Exactly. There were people who said they saw people to the extent of the rumors, but we thought it was a joke. That humans cannot live in such harsh environments. But that was just pride and ignorance. We giants have never been divided into the north of this earth."

Wictrier did not affirm Daron's words, only smiled back.

"There are relatively nuts and other harvests in the south. Only a few, but you can also harvest crops. There may have been less need to travel.

Yes, we were roughly at peace. But gradually from about 30 years ago, the phantom beasts began to submerge from the center into the southern lands. If it were you, Yukio Wolf is not a species that would appear where you have fallen out. It was about five years ago that I've been south of here. Naturally the territory has overlapped with ours, and there has been frequent strife. Fortunately, so far, so little damage has been done to both sides. "

"What's the cause?

"I don't know that. I still haven't been able to have a dialogue with the head of the phantom beasts. They don't respond to our story. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be talking to you."

"Long? Not Victoria?

Victoria glanced at the closet. Closess nodded small and opened her mouth.

"In conclusion, there are other beings that they consider to be long. But yes, it's not something you can move around freely. That's why it's me, you guys."

"You want us to convince the phantom beasts? It's impossible."

"Alfi's acquaintance has a true dragon - you're accompanying him on this expedition, too? Two of them, too."

"The two of you? Rakia does, but..."

"Well, it doesn't even depend on Lisa's sensing,"

"Ha-ha-ha, we didn't even notice."

A good voice sounded, as it led to Lisa's words. Then suddenly, a small shadow appeared on the front of the Alphilis.
