The Branded Female Fencer

When Jake went downstairs at the inn, there was almost a whole bunch of members already ready. Jake rushed over to them.

"Sorry I'm late!

"Oh, it's not the last time. Better than that, woman?

"No, you don't."

"It's a good thing we have to go home. Family or lover, but you better take care of it."

"... yes"

Ultina was repulsing what she said to Lisa as she watched Jake interact with the older knight. This expedition is only a backward companionship, but not far away Jake will begin to demonstrate that talent. It is even questionable how long Jake will be left free at that time. I'd like to sing my freedom while I can, but that's not how it got teethy to Ultina. Ultina doesn't consider herself a woman thick in love, but she doesn't even consider herself horrible. You saw Ultina's imaginary face like that, and Marduk put his hand on Ultina's shoulder and walked over to Jake.

"Knight Jake, do you have a minute?"

"What is it, Captain Marduk"

"You don't have to, take it easy"

Encouraging Jake to sit, Marduke also sat in the chair facing Jake diagonally.

"Today's assignment, you know what you're going to do?

"Backward support about the captain. Especially learning how to direct, they say."

"Exactly. Sometimes it takes a commander's gaze. Let them learn that this time."

"Me - I feel too soon for me"

Jake's eyes were floating with a colour of confusion, which was also particularly true, but Marduke gently urged Jake.

"I see. Sure, if you're normal, you should be more aware that you're not normal. While he is no longer a one-temple knight, he is also in a position to carry expectations on others all by himself. Are you conscious?

"No. I don't honestly"

"... you don't look humble."

Marduk broke the tannic surface a little and stroked Jake's head. Ultina was turning her eyes round to Marduk and the rest of the action.

"It's a big deal not to be an obedient knight that year, but just to be an upright knight. You mean your goal is far ahead, even if it's cuter to grow a little bit more."

"Right..."

"That's a bad tooth cut, huh?

"I've been reminded of how reckless I am lately every time I know someone strong. The same goes for Captain Marduk. I can see just being strong across the street. We have had several victories over demonic opponents, but very against human opponents. It would be no exaggeration to say that it is the weakest of the Knights of the Temple. I wondered how that could point to the strongest, etc."

"I have had the same thoughts"

In Marduk's reply, Jake raised his nearly lowered face and accidentally looked into its eyes. Marduk's gaze is serious. No, I'm always a man with a serious look, but I felt that look even more seriously.
