The Branded Female Fencer

Bandras continues.

"I crushed one of Calamity's and one of his strongholds in the last bunch, but his men were in full swing. To that extent, you could have done it alone, but it was a hassle, so if you called Yatri, bring him to your men. That you have so many heads means you're here with the intention of doing something about it. Otherwise, I'm not bringing in so many people who specialize in combat."

"... isn't that too much of a reckoning? He's timid and cautious. There's always a lot of people around, isn't there?

"If you're worried, that's fine. But I've known Yatri longer than you. I know his character better than you do.

But no matter how freely they say we should do it, this is not good when there is so much tension on the continent. The Arnelians are in a complete combat position. No matter how strong we are, Arnelia can be deliberately stimulated and turned against the enemy. And when that happens, you're out? It's just that we're bandits, so we have a lot of enemies. Money and women have lives. "

"I'm not going to turn Arnelia against the enemy either. But you don't want to actively connect with them. So while I refuse their request, I make a request to hunt the Demon King. You wouldn't be complaining if you did that, and you wouldn't want to get too involved with us even with them."

"Does that mean I know the face behind you?

"It's frigid enough just to say that Enema is with us. Don't let her..."

"Oh - well, you did"

Bandras took his seat convincingly. Apparently, he's not as interested in the fight itself.

"You're not going to look at it?

"I'm tired of watching you fight. Liliam's funny, but not enough to get to us? If you can fight us even if you don't have the characteristics, you might want to see that. It's such a wooden sword fight. If we fight seriously, we won't know the truth."

"My guess tells me. Funny how this fight ends."

"Then you should see it. In Noon's opinion, the back seems more interesting. I'm going to go there. And keep a grip on Dart and Anarchy. They're up to something. It looks like Arnelia's got eyes on you too."

"As usual, it's where they do it. Leave him alone, and there's nothing for the kind of people who can do what they want with themselves. Even if he dies, that's it."

"You don't have any sense of companionship, you cold bastard."

"I don't have any company, not one."

Banderas leaned his neck as troubled, leaving the spot behind without saying anything. Zems' personality doesn't change now, and he's working hand in hand after knowing he's such a guy. With myself, I would cut my hands off with Zems if it was worthless to use. Even though we were a line of brave men, we were too strong to help each other, so we didn't create a sense of fellowship. I know it's a cold relationship, but that was enough.

And Zemus stared at the martial arts. Even Zems didn't quite understand what was bothering him.

Jaeger's holding room again. Once again Elsia had reached the poles of tension, in front of a venue where Emerald sang in a good mood and thrived. Several people see and speak, but even that didn't seem to reach their ears at all. Whatever you hear is a raw reply.

An unexpected person showed his face here when he was worried about Alphilis.

"Elsia."

"... layer?"

Elsia had a good look on her unexpected face, too. There shouldn't have been any layers here until just now. Even when I spoke in the morning, I didn't come here because I wasn't interested. I didn't know that would turn up now.

As a matter of fact, the lay had been ordered by Alphilis to go on an inspection of the arena with Lunatica. If someone was going to make a suspicious move, they were supposed to deal with it. I didn't actually think that Liliam was going to use his hand, but I didn't know what anyone but Liliam thought. What Alphilis felt in his face at various leading men while the sun was high was that Tarram was not a single rock. No matter what Lilliam thinks, there will be people who will act against her will.

That's why I've felt strong before. He said that while there are so many different human thoughts, it is undoubtedly united on the basis of someone's absolute will that we can keep one direction as a city.

I actually don't know anyone but Alphilis thinking about that, but that had nothing to do with Layer or Elsia. As usual, Layer was not looking faceless and uninterested, he spoke to Elsia somewhat worried.

"Are you okay? 'Cause I heard you were going to the game."

"Are you trying to tell me you're nervous? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"No, otherwise. That fighting in a place like this is a heavy load in the first place. It's not too late to tell the captain to take turns."

"Hey, what!?

Elsia turned from her blue face and turned her face bright red and began to get angry.

"It's heavy on me!?

"'Cause about a year after joining the group, Elsia and her opponent would be a hundred battle smelling fighter, wouldn't they? Whoever thinks about it is loaded. I can't have been chosen originally, so I need to tell the captain properly. It's a mistake. Please remove it."

"It's not a mistake! I'll fight!

To Elsia's angry shouts, the members nearby were blocking their ears. Layers also ask calmly, blocking their ears.

"So it's also an operation to win?

"Operation?... I'm going to think about it"

"... are you sure you're okay? This battle is definitely scored for safety, isn't it? I wonder if I can get 10 of those."

"Shut up! Wait a minute... score system?

"Yes, you haven't heard?

Elsia asked Alphilis after a little worrying.

"Captain, what do you mean by score system?

"You weren't listening to me? The terms of the battle can be presented to each other. The first match was fought on their terms, so now I'm offering. Think about safety and keep the score system. Ten points ahead of the game, one point for a valid blow in front of your body, one point for your face, and three points for a hit behind your back."

"I see... every single point interrupts the game?

"No, there's no interruption. So there's a chance that a series of attacks will be decided all at once."

"Right. There's only one weapon you can bring in?

"No, there shouldn't be any restrictions."

"What I'd like to make sure... is the skill of the referee."

Seeing Elsia's tight expression, Alphilis grinned and smiled.

"Any maneuvers?

"I do. Same weapon as Emerald, and later... layer, will you ask me for one?

"Whatever."

"I want you to collect something. This is what I do."

Elsia pointed to one of the ornaments that had been decorated on the spot and instructed the layer. Then the lay also perceived the intent, and nodded immediately. Elsia's expression was very focused at that time, and Alphilis was relieved for now. And once the layers left the room, they let out a thin grin for the alphilis.

Alphilis perceived the intent of the laugh and offered his heartfelt thanks to the lay who came all the way here.
