The Branded Female Fencer

"For what?

"I don't mean to interrupt."

"I'm in the way. As we speak, the alarm net weakens. I'm not as clever as Lisa, so even a few things can easily disturb my focus. If you don't need me, I hope you don't talk to me."

"No, I'm sorry. I want you to listen to me for a second."

"You mean exchange terms?

"Yes."

Layer opened his eyes softly to Seite's offer.

"That's fine. But you've changed how much you need me. [M] What do you want?"

"Trouble - you're closer to stupidity than you are. Because I wanted to talk to you. If you don't have anything to say, you can take it personally."

"Why me?

"Probably because they're similar creatures."

Layer looked at the beast man in front of him with interest. The two with their quiet eyes certainly have some similarities to the atmosphere. He somehow figured out what Layer was trying to say, too. Silence prompted Seite's mouth.

"I'm - I'm hiding my powers. Because they told me it wasn't anything to wield except when I needed to."

"I know. Strong enough to contend for one or two of the Tensho Mercenary Corps (Jaeger) nowadays, right? Aren't we going to have a good fight with the line?

"How do you know?

"Smell it."

Seite was eating more of his face in the eyes of laymen who said not to ask what I understood.

"This again - let's withdraw the foreword. It's more like a beast than I am."

"That's too much to say. But I knew what I wanted to say. You've been wanting to hide your powers, haven't you?

"- Shy, you're right. I was confident that I would be better than many of them if I wielded my powers. But it was also completely smashed in this expedition. What a mistake. The person I contend with may not have even been a human or a beast man, but he was completely mistaken. That Titania and the other demon kings, the last bikezels and other monsters that fought,

They were all monsters much stronger than I thought. I have to brush my nails more and work out. To do that, I thought it wasn't if you were hiding your strength. "

"Huh. So?"

"But power calls for unnecessary strife. It would also disobey the teachings of those who raised me. So I wondered what to do.

While you hide your power, you also seem to be gaining strength. How do you do that?

"Oh, I see. So."

Layer understood the story. But at the same time, I didn't feel comfortable with this beast man. Seite's eyes were clear. Layers know what kind of man with these eyes is perceived as.

"It's easy if you just increase your strength, you just have to have a place to fight. But my way is with shaded creatures. [M] If we do the same, we may never get back to where the sun hits again. You better think about it."

"Mm. No, but"

"People have a role to play"

Layer said clearly to the lost Seite.

"Your eyes are beautiful. Probably someone who raised me would have liked it. Your power is better suited to be shaken in the sun. [M] There must already be some people who are aware of that. Others are less mediocre than I thought, and whoever knows how much they're hiding will hey.

My power is not to hesitate to swing in the shade, so I can choose these paths. Besides, I've spent a lot of time using my powers that aren't much praised by people anymore. Now it is. "

"But..."

"Besides. I don't think I have a long life. [M] Maybe that's how I was born. I am also using it now by aggregating my power to swing to the future. So I think I can do so much power right now. If you're an animal man who lives longer, you have to choose a more important way of life.

Talk to Chief Alpha Reese for once. It should give you a clearer answer than I do. [M] Oh, don't tell anyone that my life expectancy may be short. Because I don't want to worry too much about other people. "

That's all Layer said, he was back on guard with his back turned again. Seite had been thinking in the same position for a while, but eventually, silently thanking the layer, he went to sleep himself after the occasion.

In exchange, Lunatica visits.

"Have you changed your watch yet? You're early."

"No. I wanted to talk a little too"

"Unusual"

"Not really. Except for Lisa, I talk to you the most. I want you to report on what happened in North Seal. This is also an order as a superior."

I was a little surprised by what Renatica said, but I did report it all the way because I was right. Renatica was just fooling around and listening to it.

"I see, layer judgment is reasonable"

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that."

"Layers now have their own battles. From now on, I hope you get direct support from Alphilis, not my instructions. Oh, don't take direct instructions from Cowen."

"Why?"

"Just like I said to Seite earlier. Layers should also choose a battle that they can still be proud of. You can leave the dirty work to me. You should still do that."

"A battle I can be proud of,"

Looks like Layer had something to think about in that language. A cool night breeze stroked their cheeks silently for a while, but the wind grew brisk at night. Renatica encouraged the layers to take turns, and the layers also headed to sleep as they were urged to do so again.

The next morning, Seite and Layer will be visiting under the Alphilis. They were the only ones who knew what discussions they had.
