The Branded Female Fencer
Black Witch, White Witch, Part 4 ~ Quiet Beast Man ① ~
"We're the only ones here."
"Right."
Seite's reply is unsatisfactory. The beasts who followed the expedition were many of the elites chosen for the selection exam. Sometimes there were recommendations, but if they were not equipped with certain abilities and qualities, they may have declined the recommendation. Nia also glanced at the material of the members of the streets as the head of the expedition, and she is familiar with it, but I was hardly impressed with this Seite. No, now I know you acted unimpressive.
Especially in this request, even more elite have been chosen among them. Candidates were mainly selected, including captainship such as Nia and Yao, as well as Leonid, and people of various characteristics were selected. That's not just the order of arms, but what we have in common is that they are less self-assertive. Except for this Seite, though. We were all talking, and I don't recall any movement to leave this Seite aggressive. But on the contrary, no one tried to fall. It stayed until the end for very negative reasons.
But in collecting those elites, this Seite remains here. Nia's memory suggests that someone who was close to Alphilis was flown here. Then, at some point, Seite would have been near Alphilis.
No, it was me and Seite and the three layers that jumped out of the way, trying to cover Alphilis that moment to be exact. And to put it further - Seite was trying to break down Titania's sword trident, and stop that hand on the way. Perhaps he sensed Titania's intentions. That's not the only way you can make that decision in that moment is by the way your coarse liver sits. Nia was interested in this quiet beast man at the same time that she was ashamed of her unknown.
"Seite, who are you?
"Who - that's another difficult question to answer. Crawwolf Beastman Seite, are you unhappy with this?
"Oh, you're unhappy. That's just a symbol for a name. What a beast man named you thinks and fights for - and I think I should know better about that. At least you're not a normal beast man."
"It's shellfish. Or is it your responsibility as chief to keep this expedition unit?
"It's not. It's for bigger things to say, but frankly, it's my interest."
"Interest, is it"
Seite looked like she had trouble reacting. Nia continued the conversation without changing her expression.
"What do you think you were executed for this expedition?
"It's... try your arm, or something. To know the human world, or something. More importantly, I was wondering if it would also be used for the selection of future beast generals."
"Gruzaldo is a country where the Quartet is surrounded by a land of barbarians or beasts. Now is the time to border Krums and Tragaslons for taking in former Zamwed territory, but it has nothing to do with many beasts. Our foreign policy is mainly self-sufficient and makes little sense to open national relations with humans.
You don't need to know how to fight humans for the same reason. Now we have seen almost all of Tragaslon's troops retreating with some force. Unbeaten since the founding of the country outside of local warfare, both to the Orc and to the Human opponents. Where do we need to learn how to fight humans? Besides, if you're fighting, you just have to fight the barbarians of the south. Any chance of birth will come. "
"... my thoughts,"
Seite slowly opened her mouth. Nia's questionable remarks had made me feel like I wanted to disprove them by accident.
"As Krums destroyed Zamwed, I could imagine that there was a great deal of anomaly in the human world. What happened in the field of negotiations with Krums has also been rumored within the military. Even if you hide it, the Beast Man is a mouthless creature. Rumors were spreading like different waves.
The country of Gruzaldo is stable. But that's just because our country's barrier is a little higher than any other country's, and when a big twist strikes that even swallows it, it's going to perish like us. To take action, the first step is to determine to what extent the twist is and where it comes from. I wonder if that's what this expedition meant. "
"... for the sake of an animal man, you think about it."
Seeing Nia's gaze sharpened to a decision, Seite stifled.
"The story now is what I heard from Kazas. I believe myself to be quite heretical among beastmen, partly because my father was operating outside the country - that is, to have a better idea than human beings. But still, as I listened to Kazas and King Dryan, I understood that I was still not leaving the realm of a single beast man.
I think the purpose of this expedition - it's not the selection of the next Beast General, it's the selection of the next Beast King "
Unexpectedly Seite also opened her eyes to Nia's bold ideas. And I noticed. He said he was being tried now. Really, I got in Nia's truck.
