The Branded Female Fencer

"You're beautiful, aren't you? Even in a taram whorehouse with all the beauties, so many women don't see it that way. They let an anonymous but well-armed craftsman make it. Drinking while watching this is happier than ever."

"... let's leave the details at this time. What's your relationship with the priest?

"Apprentice, uniform"

"There is no presence of you in the application. I can't accept Arnelia's associates."

Nor does a man move in Marduk's questioning. Seems to have more liver in place than it looks. Or is it just eagle fried?

"Either way, that's fine. And Arnelia wouldn't like to add me to the last seat. I refuse to be tough, either."

"Well, I certainly can't imagine him dressed in a ritual dress."

"Above all, it makes sense. You can talk for a solid face."

"Unless you were Arnelia's enemy, there's no reason to deny otherwise."

Marduk dared to say it off, but there was also a strong will felt there. If he is an enemy, he says he will not condone it. The man was stopping teasing as he shrugged his shoulders.

"So, what are we gonna do? I'm like this, as you can see, and Grandpa, yes. I need you to take me around the corner. There's nothing I can do to help. I can tell you that I had your visit, but I don't think Grandpa's coming to you."

"That's okay. Let's just say it's still coming. Because there are some nasty circumstances here, too. I'd really like Lord Volgius to help me."

"I don't think that grandpa's gonna help. Years are years, and they're pretty rough."

While drinking, the man seemed sincerely sorry that the last drop was gone. And when the rap earlier dissipated as if it were a lie, he began to treat the Marduks depressingly.

"If you're done with your errands, I'm home. I'm home. I'm going out to refill. Or unless you want to watch this statue."

"Who!

"Okay, let's just say we take it for today. By the way, is the Priest alive and well?

"You'll be alive. Didn't you still go to The Secret and Kettle Flower Pavilion?

"Okay. That's all I need to know."

Marduk, in a token, left the spot. Then one old man came out of the back room. No, to call me an old man, the atmosphere was rigorous in itself and didn't make me feel old.

"There you are, Grandpa."

"I would have known you were here, but you ghoulish bastard"

"You've got a decent job. But are you okay with them? I induced you to die for nothing, didn't I?

"I don't think so. Sure, it's blue, but I hear it's pretty good when it comes to combat. Especially men."

"Hmm, well, good. Besides, it's a good time to finally go around. You're gonna wipe out the tarram pests with this in mind, aren't you?

"I'm going to."

"Then I'll keep my head count. These are the stuffed animals for a time like this. Suppose to die for the Virgin?"

"The extremists."

The man smiled more invincibly, leaving the church behind. The remaining Volgius sighed much louder, looking up at the statue of Arnelia the Virgin with her complex emotions.

And Marduk was calm, as opposed to Urtina and Marduk, who followed the church, but did not want to be outraged. Ultina was blaming Marduk for being unnecessarily annoyed by that attitude.

"Marduk! You can be so calm often!?

"You're the one who calms down, Ultina. What are we going to do if we get disturbed about that?"

"To that extent? Where to that extent!

"Didn't they tell you to get used to men when you were on pilgrimage?

"Arbitrary! What about you? I remember him as the stubbornest and most unaccommodating of us."

"If it seems to interfere with the mission, I'm used to it to the extent that it doesn't bother me. Besides, I originally came from a place like this. It's not that I'm intolerant.

Better than that, you notice? He's not just a priest. "

"Well, he's a very self-depraved and helpful priest."

Marduk sighed at Ultina, who was still in bad shape.

"I don't think so. The whorehouse he said was a real whorehouse. That, too, has seen a sharp increase in sales here recently. It's thought to be one of the provenances of Experion."

"Oh, that."

"That means they were working. You stepped on it that we couldn't handle ourselves alone, or you're going to let us stand on the arrow. But I wasn't sure, so I was just glad. That's why I went to the branch. I wanted to borrow your strength."

"Well, they're..."

"I don't think he's just a self-depraved priest. Well, we'd better get to work, too. I don't know if the strength of my hand is enough, but let's just get to work. Is Jake at Lord Lisa's?

"No, Lord Lisa accompanied Alphilis to work, so he should be waiting at the inn."

"Then send me to scouts. That will tell us who the enemy is. Ultina, I'll have you go, too. I'll ask the neighborhood branch for backup too. We'll figure out the size of the enemy and set it up as soon as we're ready."

Marduk's face had already changed to a wartime one. And when he saw his expression, Urtina was also distracted.
