The Branded Female Fencer
Black Witch, White Witch, Part 5 ~ Quiet Beast Man ② ~
"I am a good beast general. I've somehow figured out what it's like to lead people, but putting the country together is too much to imagine. Besides, I can't do this for years to get ahead of me and hit my hand.
There are many good beasts on this expedition, and depending on how you train, some of them may become beast generals. Leonid and others would undoubtedly be at the head of it. But when it comes to whether he will be king, it will never be. Strength, admired by others, but that's it. A king is a creature who has abandoned his humanity somewhere. Intense individuals but required to abandon their personal affairs to the extreme. You wouldn't grow up in the Groussard today, such as an animal man with such a personality. At least not with the beasts. "
"So you let us out into the human world"
"I think so. The king expected a changing beast in the human world. King Dreyan is waiting, someone who can take his place. Perhaps the candidate was Amur and my father Lore. But neither of us did. The king would have been disappointed.
And he sent you in. "
"... what?
Seite was once again being poked into the void. But Nia's eyes were not harsh this time, and she was gently turning into a teachy atmosphere.
"Don't hide it. You were sent directly to the king, weren't you? It is strange that such an important expedition did not originally have beast generals or eyes. It's impossible to keep all this valuable talent released and not have a watchman. At first I thought Leonid would be, but I'm not. He's not an animal man who can be that clever. For better or worse, he is the most 'quality beast man'.
But you're not. Turn off the signs as if they were humans and stand around cleverly. There is no great merit, no failure at all, and I can let that individual be buried with more personality than a person. You're not human, are you?
"... assuming I'm that watchdog, what would you do?
"Nothing."
Nia stood there and stretched her back. I guess I'm just getting a little sleepy. Everyone but them is already resting in peace.
"I just wanted to be clear. It's creepy to have someone with no taste. I'm also interested in that. Your technique is close to that of a beast general. Or more? If that bothers you, it should be considerably stronger than Yao. With all that power, it's just a shame to be quiet.
But why would I behave like that?
"... if possible. No, I can only say one thing: I believe that there is not a single good thing, even if I flinch the power. My mother was an animal man, yet a woman who showed no interest in power. I don't mind being strong for a minute, but he said strong power only brings in stronger power. He always said all we needed was the power to fight against the crisis, the power we needed to survive.
I'm just keeping that teaching. "
"I see. But the rationale is, if the crisis is greater, you'll be infinitely stronger?
Seite nodded instantly at a somewhat ill-willed inquiry.
"Of course. If there's a crisis looming for us, let me try to be strong without limits."
"Okay. I'll keep this in my chest today, don't worry."
Nia turned her back on Seite, but Seite gave a token to that back. Then Nia's walk stopped perfectly.
"- Yes, this is totally my imagination -"
"I hear no one knows King Dryan's wife now. It seems that the woman who had once welcomed her as her rightful wife secretly walked away with little to no exit from the palace. You think nobody remembers his wife because few beast generals knew about the time and didn't hold ceremonies or anything like that?
He had one son, but his presence was also kept secret, and he doesn't know who. Sure, I know I'd be cautious if I were to be the strongest king of beasts, but how odd that sounds. I heard it when Kazas was swallowing for both of us, but he was blurry that that was all he couldn't tell me.
When beasts marry each other with different races, children often have one factor come out strong - even if their son is not like a king, there is no wonder. Right?
"- Yeah, right. I think the captain's right."
"Okay. You heard boring things, forget it."
"Yes, good night"
"Good night."
Nia left the spot when she told him so, but Seite sat on the spot still uncluttered for a while, but eventually slowly lifted her hips, heading over the rock shelf. Seite is relatively large but the move is agile and anyone who knows the usual Seite would have been stunned.
Seite was lined up next to a layer watching over a rock shelf. Layer was meditating on his eyes, but he doesn't seem to be asleep. Instead, by meditating on his eyes, he seemed sharp sharpening his concentration.
