The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 4 - Wise Men's Monologues ③ -

"Dear Mr. Oranzeble, I have lifted all the tricks that the woman had set up."

"Thank you, Fursil"

It was an elf boy with gray eyes, pointy ears, just like the Orange Bull, who paid homage in front of the Orange Bull. He had more than one user demon made by Polskaya in his hand. When he dumped them as seemingly un-made, Fursil knelt before the Orange Bull.

"It doesn't even bother our chief's hand. Order me if you need me. Let's break it down into whatever shapes we want right away."

"Don't bother with that, it's Fursil. This is what it looks like. It's still necessary."

This was an unexpected development for Polskaya. I thought there was no one in Oranzeble I could trust, but I didn't know I had an assistant. Plus, as a magician, he's got a lot of power. Polskaya cursed herself of her alarm that this had to be easier.

Did Polskaya no longer think it would come as a surprise, Oranzebul looked back to her softly.

"It's a great horse, but we haven't exhausted the role of this yet. Lose your memory once now and go back to Alphilis. Forget everything you remember about what happened here."

"Do you resist? I can't do that. Your fate is exhausted when you meet me. I gave you a name for nothing and taught you how to use your power. You would have lived the way you wanted, but you were actually just dancing on my palm."

"(...)"

"Mm?"

"(From the first time you saw me, were you going to)"

To my surprise, Polskaya has spoken in a reading. It was an unexpected thing for Oranzebul, who thought that no magic could be used, including reading stories, but on the contrary was somewhat pleased with the presence of Polskaya, who could still resist.

"At first... it wasn't. It would be a lie to say that I hadn't found you just to shake the world, to give it a name, to give it a meaning of being, to find something to look forward to and do. I am called a wise man, even when I look like this. I find joy in guiding, and I believe it is my duty.

But I could do what I had to do. We have even sacrificed clans and daughters to do so. There's no reason not to sacrifice you. "

"(... don't be ridiculous! What do you think I am! Then I should have given you nothing from the start! That way I -)"

"I don't care what they say, I'm not going to apologize, I'm not going to pity you. It's the best thing that ever happened to you."

Polskaya could only watch Oranzebul's hand slowly grow as he gritted his teeth in his heart. So much Oranzebul magic was powerful and the worst compatible with Polskaya, also a body of thought.

Seeing Polskaya's reaction disappear completely, Oranzeble gave her a new order. Seeing Polskaya nod several times with no expression, Oranzeble let her go. And I was sitting on the spot again.

"Hmm... it's been years since my liver's been cold at all"

"Good luck. But since you were so kind?

"What?

"Though I felt the 'tie' was a little loose"

Fursil's point was the best. Orangeables magically gave orders that are actually not that complicated. It merely added actions that would force Alphilis and Polskaya to take if they fell under certain conditions, as well as some prohibitions.

But the Orange Bull denied Fursil's opinion.

"No, that's fine. Too many orders shorten the duration of the magic. From now on, you don't always get to go see that one whenever you like. Arnelia's connections are strengthened, and it's hard to break in and escape without anyone understanding with me. There are several true dragons around Alphilis as well, and it's not that easy to interfere with her even outside Arnelia.

Besides, I've only met Alphilis a few times, but he seems to be growing up to be a pretty smart person. That's the human apprentice who let me out, I guess. If Polskaya reacts too strangely, they might notice. "

"I see. Do you mean,"

"Well, this is how it would be reasonable. Well, I ate some unwanted hassle because of the strange intruder, but can I leave the repair of the broken workshop to you?

"Of course it is. Is the chief in that room?

"Um, heading to a centralized place. Bikezel's awakening caused a glitch. It may not be completely fixed again. Absolutely, Anomaly did something extra for me. I didn't know you were interfering like that from the outside if you thought the formula was strangely disturbing a lot lately with the dokuri. But it's a good experience to have Aldrius' guy interrupt you once. I don't need as much effort as before to figure out how to fix it with shame"

"That's true. Can I help you, too?

"I don't need it. Better watch your surroundings just in case. If there's anything else that could get anywhere near here, the location of this workshop could be known. That's all we have to avoid."

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Fursil respectfully watched the Oranzebul exit, heading early to repair the junction and workshop that Polskaya had broken. And in a room where no one is anymore, one shadow forms. It was a doom the size of a dwarf, which should also be called a Doom split.
