The Branded Female Fencer

"There seems to be some circumstance, but this one is also in a painful position. I think it would be better if we fought together here."

"If you can fight reliable people like phantom beasts, this is the one thing you don't even wish for. I was hoping to have a discussion with you in the first place. Alphilis, do you mind?

"Yes, of course."

Alphilis nodded, but where Orolon and the others joined him, the problem didn't resolve. Alphilis and the others were in the mood to figure out what was going on, but during the discussion Vitara noticed one strange point.

"I thought," I wonder why the enemy isn't coming out here. On the table, I heard all our people were torn to pieces. I forgot me in anger when I asked, but if you have the ability to do just that thoroughly, I think it would be quick if you attacked us first. I don't think they're going to spare their lives. "

"Sure. For your overwhelming ability to defend yourself."

"... there are several possibilities"

In considering the operation, it was the line that issued the opinion.

"One is, in fact, we don't have enough power to attack, and our abilities can only be defensive, that is, trapped. Or that we're buying time to attack and by now we're steadily getting ready inside. And then we're not being dealt with in the first place."

"It's all possible... so which one do you think the line is likely to be?

"Actually, I consider it all. Let's say this is the black magician's workshop. The first sign of battle at the entrance turned out to be the actions of the phantom beasts. But why did the Demon King attack people in the first place? If I hadn't done that, this workshop wouldn't have even known it existed. A magician's workshop is something you should want to keep a secret of the place. Wouldn't you?

"Ordinary magicians don't think so. The magician's workshop is a hunk of secret moves, and it's supposed to impress people."

Muscade affirms Rhine's opinion. The line went on.

"To my mind, this event is also an unexpected one for the lord of this workshop. So the place is scattered, but I'm not ready to just fight back, and I'm thoroughly defensive while making a time buying attack. Isn't that what this is about?

"It fits more or less. I knew it was sharp, I've just ruined my plans at Krums."

I suddenly heard a voice behind my back, so everyone looked back a little bit. Anomaly stood there with a look on her face. Anomaly stood on the spot somewhat flashly or expressionlessly for him, watching the Alphilis.

"Was it the line? Thanks for that verse. Thank you for your help in Krums."

"I thought the lord here was Temehe... a lousy hobby."

"It's a compliment, that. But I can't do it any more, but should I have left you there? You're a human being, aren't you?

Well, I don't have time for you right now. Let's get down to business. "

The attitude that brought the Anomaly people lurked. The line also notices that the impression is different from when we met before.

"As the line there imagined, this is an accident. Even for me, I didn't mean to bother the residents here, and I'd rather not let this workshop out into the world at any cost. Actually, I've already betrayed the black magician. [M] Now I'm in a hostile position with the Orange Bull. So there's no reason not to fight you guys, but there's no reason to get involved from now on.

So it's a deal. Don't get involved with me anymore, because I'm gonna water you guys down about my subordination and miss you from here. I want to continue my research alone. [M] I don't have time for this. [M] What do you think?

"That's a pretty frigid story. I know what you did. As far as I'm concerned, I honestly can't believe it, but - it's Alphilis who judges. What do we do, Alfie?"

"... it would be nice to make a deal. So, what's your guarantee that you won't bother the inhabitants of this earth in the future?

"This place has fallen apart. It's a place I spent a lot of time building, but it doesn't help anymore. I'm going to move somewhere and continue my research. Wouldn't that be nice?

"What will happen when the study is completed?

Anomaly finally had a creepy grin on Alphilis' words. A grin that seems somewhere satisfying, enjoying the Alphilis inquiry. The people around me were relieved, but for Anomaly this was a laugh equal to praise.

"It's still funny at the end of your eyes. Even my people weren't interested. But do you honestly think I'll teach you the truth?

"I don't mind as long as I can talk. This one has Lisa. Proper lies and deception can be broken down to some extent, and I don't trust people who don't even talk. If we don't even talk, we'll just keep knocking you down and breaking into the workshop."

Alphilis glanced at Lisa. Lisa was annoyed by the meaning of it, but she nodded honestly. Anomaly thought for a moment about what was going on, but that was probably just a shake, and the answer was decided from the beginning. It looks like this and Anomaly is actually working out measures and responses to various situations. I didn't even assume this conversation at the stage where I came out before the Alphilis.

Anomaly goes on and on.
