The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 21 - New Request
"Ultina, why Jake?
"Before that, I told you to put 'on', didn't I? I'm older, honor me."
"Oh, no."
"Nha...!
There was no time for Ultina to argue, and Alphilis freshly screwed up all at once.
"Respect is what forces you? And it doesn't matter if you're old or not. If I told you about the year, what would happen to Miranda and Miriazal? I'm on par with them, right? Yet it is strange that I should speak respectfully to you, their subordinate. Wouldn't you rather use a tribute to me?
"Mugg..."
"Stop it, Ultina. It just gets ugly. I gave up beating this woman with my tongue."
There was a scattered Marduk beside him at the first meeting. Others accompanied Lisa, where they are eating snacks in a liquor store under the inn. The faces of other mercenaries, as well as Arnelian officials, were passing through the time with thoughts. Since it is so large, it is borrowed out in the name of Arnelia for each inn. Although it was Lisa's concern that Ultina brought in some of the personnel.
Urtina began her explanation when she sighed with a sigh of disgruntlement with no place to go to the Alphilis, not a meal.
"- Jake is now attracting attention among the Knights of the Temple. The same goes for being appointed Temple Knights at a younger age than that Alberto, but his track record in Warcraft combat in particular is jumping through. Even though swordsmanship and strength can be inferior to the surrounding knights."
"You have a reason?
"Yeah, as a matter of possibility. That's why I want to ask Lisa there. You're close in age, but you're the parent of your upbringing, aren't you? And now you think you're a lover?"
"Phew, there's nothing out there to compliment you"
Lisa tapped lightly, as usual, but she found out that she wasn't the one to whom such words would make sense, and changed her attitude.
"Because I want to know what?
"It's from Jake. Are you sure you don't know anything?
"You don't know. Well, I've looked for his parents, but I couldn't find them at last. Because when you dump a child, you usually dump it in another city where there is no itch whatsoever.
I guess there was a lot of sentiment about dumping it in the city, not in the wild, but in the end, it's inhuman. Even assuming you pinpoint your parents, did you abandon your child for financial difficulties, or for any other reason? Which of us won't be able to go back to our original relationship.
At the time, we lived to the fullest. I didn't have the power to do anything extra, like find his parents. "
"Yes. So we lived together and there was nothing strange about it?
"You don't. Is it also called psychic power in the first place? Human beings, such as those with specialized powers against the evil spirits, will be exclusively raised by Arnelia. Sometimes the Divine Spirit and Spirit kind don't even know my sensors, but that doesn't mean Jake pointed that out at all or anything.
Good motor nerves, some silly, but odd and well accounted for. He was a boy who didn't leave the boundaries of a normal boy, Jake. "
"Hmm... then you mean you woke up in the fight? I wonder if it has anything to do with blood muscles if you mean acquired acquired acquired"
"What do you mean?
Lisa looked surprised, so Marduk explained it with a cold face.
"If Jake's abilities are related to his blood muscles, he needs to be protected with Arnelia. Of course that blood muscle shouldn't stop... you know what that means?
"... why don't you be more specific?
"It means finding the right blood and getting help to have a child. Don't let me tell you because I know."
Lisa was pompous and repeating the word in her head because Ultina said it out frankly. Even Alphilis looked at his face a little, but Ultina just said she deserved it.
"Can't you imagine? To be clear, Jake is already more important to Arnelia than you. Battle in the city of Grind ahead. Having hunted Insomnia alone, certified as the fifth evil spirit, Jake has become an indispensable part of Arnelia already. It's an unparalleled achievement in history, that one. But given that there are four other evil spirits more than the equivalent - a flavor of Doom - Jake's need increases even worse. So..."
"So?
"If you don't like it, why don't you just have a baby? The first thinker will be good. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
Even Alphilis and Marduk had erupted into the way Urtina said not to dress in her teeth. Lisa was less impassioned by the shock and her mouth remained open.
Marduk asks Urtina as he peels.
"Hey, what are you talking about, Ultina!
"Will you shut up, Marduk? You know what the Bishops say about Jake, right? The Archbishops today are well-informed people, so that won't be weird, but it is possible that people's opinions will be ignored because they are in wartime. It's an inevitable agenda if Jake gets a lot of fighting opportunities coming up. In fact, even this time there was that topic.
I'm a woman, even if I look like this. If you get a mediocre, peaceful family with the man you like, I think that makes you happy. But sometimes a big stream pushes something like that away. We must not miss the opportunity.
Let me give you some advice, Lisa. It is humans who are most cautious. I know you're pretty good about Ips too, but politics and the aristocratic world are worse. If you care about him, make a strong bond. "
"- Advice painful, but you said something that bothered you?" Not even this time "? Does that mean you have a chance to fight? So, you guys are bringing in all this personnel?
Marduk and Ultina looked at Lisa's allegations. And they tried to explain, but Alphilis had his mouth open first.
