The Branded Female Fencer

"Brother, I know him."

"... oh, me too. He's an abominable kid who killed us. I see you here. Well, I guess I'll be somewhat thankful to your anomaly shitty husband!

"I knew it, that time"

Layer remembered. Mercenaries defeated in deep darkness to help Elsia and Gail. They were powerful mercenaries inside, but they certainly should have killed without leaving them behind. One thing that is different from that time was that they certainly seemed brutal, but they should not have let go so badly.

"Right, did you quit being human? Smells and signs aren't human."

"It's hard to say you're human enough just to notice our signs."

"Yes, just surpassing my powers is enough. You're not human either!

"It could be. So, what do we do? You came back to life, and you're gonna kill me again?

Layers spoke a rare and provocative language. Both Boat and Kersu cheered their faces on the words, and they became expressions of anger.

"Let it soak up! I'll teach you that the power you got from quitting the human race, it's not the same digit as it was before!

"That's right. Don't think you can handle it with your strength anymore!?

"Oh, yeah. But I'm not the same as before. Let's try each other."

Layers don't like to fight. But now, for some reason, I felt the urge to fight. Is that an expectation of your power that is waking up anew, or is it your instinct when you put your mighty enemies before you? The layers weren't thinking that far.

Behind that battle, Tetrastine gently disappeared from the room. We knew that Lissie was on her way earlier and that we were waiting for a stronger battle.

Since Anomaly told him she was going through the black magician, Doom had thought of one in a village that she herself had exterminated. Is it an indigenous spirit, a statue of a bird-like creature leaning towards it, but with its head relaxed on its back?

It's usually a doom that talks as loud as one person, but I've kept my mouth shut with that attitude for many more carvings. The servants Osiria and Maneater also became awkward, rarely speaking to Doom from their side.

"Doom. What are you thinking? You mean Orangeable's orders? Or are you talking about Anomaly?

"... oh, did I make you worry? Both, both. Sooner or later, Annomarie betrayed me, and I thought it might be a little early."

"You told me before, you have a plan for this aftermath, right? Wouldn't that be a big obstacle?"

"Right..."

Doom had made one promise to Osiria. When I first met her, before Osiria, with overwhelming darkness and despair, the covenant I made to subjugate her. It's about knocking every creature in the world into the abyss of despair. That's what Doom had in mind too, but he really let all the creatures fall into darkness, which makes him semi-permanently unable to enjoy it. Unlike Osiria, Doom has always wanted to shave the despair of creatures like candy balls. In that sense, Doom wanted to fix his goals to some extent and throw them away otherwise. Human beings can become extinct if they kill too much, though leaving them alone increases.

But when you see the Orange Bull plan step by step, you think about how it ends when its execution is done, but you wonder if it doesn't really match the situation that Doom wants. Most importantly, Oranzeble's plan is not 'interesting'. They say they do it for people, while killing people. I didn't even like the lack of moderation. At least, it's in conflict with Doom's insistence.

"It's okay to be discreet. It is possible for us to move without anyone understanding. I just want to see despair. I haven't had a taste of some superb despair, including Lisa. I was getting ready for a big time because of this, but I was wondering what I'd do with it. I've been thinking a few ways, but I feel like I'm lacking a decision-maker. I was worried about what happened."

"... I see, so you came to a conclusion?

"That's not coming out ~. There are so many ways, but the situation in North Seal seems pretty chaotic. I can't beat Titania as it stands, and apparently Arnelia has intervened, and Anomaly has hidden balls, and it's going to be a snake if we don't figure out how and when."

Let Doom wave his head away for a little while. But Osiria also knew that she couldn't afford as much as she looked.

"Didn't you intervene in Kubelais or Tyran for that? For what, you've been secretly blowing all sorts of things into that demon king?

"Well it is. You didn't have time to plant your last hand. Oh, my God, actually. Besides, there's Tetrastine at Annomarie's, right? He doesn't really know what he's thinking, so there's too much uncertainty."

"Sure... there are few creatures in North Seal, so it's hard for evil spirits like us to intervene in the first place. That's hard..."

Continuing on to Doom, he began to contemplate even Osiria. It is the man eater who is free. Though she took in Insomnia and increased her intelligence, that doesn't change her nature. For a man-eater, the plan doesn't really matter. However, the man-eater merely acts according to its instincts and demands while following Doom.
