The Branded Female Fencer

"... third place."

"Yes."

The third place in white had come to La Forse's place of meditation. La Forse's meditation place is a circular enclosed space in which symbols composed of fire, water, earth, wind and gold magic are distributed in five directions, closing the room in opposite poles with light and darkness in two. The walls of the room were stretched vertically high and the ceiling was not completely visible. At its centre, La Forse sat in a thin silk figure.

All Attribute Users (Magic Master) - That was the hallmark of La Forse as a magician.

"It sounds like a lot of noise out there."

"I don't care, I don't concentrate on meditation. If that's the faster way to completion."

"There's a black witch coming. It will inevitably lack concentration."

"You really think you're right about the prophecy?

"Though I don't know exactly what the prophecy indicates. But I was sure today. Me and that guy are sure to meet again and kill each other again. Maybe because we can't allow each other to exist. The very significance of existence is in conflict. It's not about our will, is it?

If you have something to call destiny, this is what it will be. "

"... so now you want me to keep you alive?

To the third place words, La Forse laughed dull. Apparently meditation is over.

"Do you think you're more intrusive in my meditation?

"Please don't say anything mean"

"Because it's you, Lila. Because it's you, my aunt."

"You haven't answered the question, La Forse"

"Hehe, well... even if we try our best to kill your sister, I'm sure only that guy will survive. I don't do anything for nothing. If you're going to fight anyway, when it's more appropriate, in the right place."

"Do you have any remainder of your heart?"

"- I don't. I've already finished saying hello in my dreams. Yeah, it was such a happy time. Even in my dreams alone, I was with someone who could understand me. Even then, it made sense that I led your sister here this time.

I'm glad you two didn't get in the way. Because he's a little radical. "

"Right. He is also following unexpected dreams. In a different way from me, you will be trying to live up to this grief of Olimpus. Eliminate all those who will be your enemies, and those who will be. I can understand what he said, but if I stayed a day later, I'd do what I did."

"Right. It must have definitely had a negative impact on your sister. Oh, fun times pass fast, Lyla. So did you?

"Hehe, it could have been just hard time for me. But I'm not feeling so bad right now."

"Are you going?

To La Forse's words, the third place nodded. The expression was calm, but full of strong determination.

"I used to think this moment of crossing over to the other shore was negligible. But now it's not so bad either. Free from physical suffering, it helps the clan. If you have one regret, is it that you don't see a change in the world ahead? That's almost it, even though the important scene is imminent."

"Right. I don't know what to say in lieu of that, but you should see me through. You deserve that."

"I hope so. Then I'll be a little further."

"Yeah, I'll cross all the way, too. Please go ahead. One of these days you'll have time to talk slowly."

"Then sooner or later, in Nirvana"

When I told him that, the third place went behind La Forse. There emerged a gleaming lake-like sight suddenly, and the third-place body sank slowly every step of the way. And the third place sank in the light without looking back, and never appeared that way again. When it disappeared, it was never known to anyone that the expression was smiling a little.

Confirming that the third place had disappeared, La Forse stopped meditating once and stood up.

"... well. The third place said yeah, but I have to say about goodbye. Your sister... there she is."

I wondered if La Forse's body swayed loosely, and it had disappeared from the place forever.
