The Branded Female Fencer

"Well, what do we do?

"Depends. Maybe he knows he can help me."

"No, no, you don't. I'm counting on you, brother."

"I don't want to eat. Make a demand."

"Well... I'd like you to tell me how far you've planted this next Battle of Romansland"

To Doom's words, Hidun looked surprised.

"How far have you planted it? You should ask Calamity about that. He's infiltrating Romansland."

"Non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non What I want to hear is what you're doing to a country other than Romansland."

Hidun looked out for Doom's remarks. No way, I didn't think he was the one with the head around that much. Certainly, the trick is something I don't know except Hidun.

"Where did you notice that?

"I don't know if I should notice? War doesn't go on unless at least two countries are active in it, does it? Romansland and I should need another one. When a war begins, it doesn't make sense if they stop fighting it or make peace."

"... all of it"

"Yes?"

"The set-up is over in almost all the major countries of the continent. After that, the war begins even if you leave it alone. You don't need me or even Orangeables anymore. Rather, the absence of us may render the teeth of war ineffective. Our purpose repeats itself, but not the demise of this continent. I don't think it's okay to perish, but the Orange Bull isn't. Everything is for the liberation of the truth."

"I see. Then the need is moderate sacrifice - although I don't think it's moderate to die in a war involving the whole continent. Then - Oh, is that what you mean? I guess I solved my last question, too. All you have to do is prove it."

"... why?

Hidun stepped back. Watching as Doom blinks his eyes.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Why doesn't spiritual restraint work on you? The key word should be valid even if it is not aurangeable. You've already broken your mental bondage!?

In Hidun's words, Doom smiled viciously. He no longer thinks it's good to be scattered and dusty.

"If so, what? Didn't you think you could keep us tied up with that little thing forever? I must say, that prospect is sweet, isn't it?

Besides, brothers and sisters - there was no spiritual bondage on Hidun, after all. I'm guessing the progression of the plan took place with you in the first place, in Oranzeble? Come on, tell me. Tell me what the Orange Bull really thinks!

"I don't know much about it either. I'm not interested in the first place, and I'm good enough to serve my purpose. For that reason, the next war is over, and I'm going to ask Orange to help me."

"Is the purpose of Hidun to kill that bloodsucking king?

No longer trying to take up all the form of respect for his brothers and sisters, Hidun told. But to the words, Hidun had lost the words this time by surprise.

"Why would you..."

"There are as many ways to know, Hidun. No, more than that, I kind of see why we were gathered in Orangeables. He's going to kill us all. If the purpose of the Orange Bull is for this continent, then we are clearly in the way. Because each of us is a bearer of power that can destroy this continent - or even if we don't intend to. I didn't just use it as my pawn, I monitored its behavior, figured out its abilities, and eventually I was going to end it. Maybe it would have been extra nice to discuss it.

But did Hidun think he was gonna destroy himself on his own, even if he was left alone? 'Cause they don't think you can beat him. One of those who has been decided not to exist, provided that they are too strong but have little desire but therefore do not intrude on one another into a certain territory. Even Arnelia is a true mighty man who has to be seen at first sight in his presence. Are you one of the great demon kings who survived?

It's hard to believe there's a reason for that, Hidun. "

Doom was convinced as he nodded on his own, but words of resentment leaked out of Hidun's mouth. It wasn't like I trusted Doom, or some kind of cornered behavior, but I poked my mouth out too unintentionally of resentment - it was such a roaring squeeze.
