The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 79 - Black Eagle Anxiety ① -
"Gu... Mm. Ha!?"
"Hey, are you awake?
Gergeda woke up on the bed. I saw a less familiar face in that hazy sight. It's Max, the captain of the squad most. When Gergeda understood someone, she just made a bad move.
"Chi... I didn't know you had a face to see when you woke up. It's the worst sleep I've ever had."
"Yeah, don't make it so bad. Who said I did it through you?
"I didn't ask you to."
Gergeda wore them as soon as she made sure her weapons and clothes were beside her. Being removed from a weapon and not realizing it is the same as being dead. No matter how my people helped me, it wasn't in my head to congratulate me enough on that.
When Gergeda wore a weapon all the way, he stirred up every bottle of liquor that was on the spot. Max watches it with his face.
"That booze is expensive."
"It's worse to know or be taken away. So, why are you here?
"Come on, are you still bogged down? Or have I really become an idiot?
Word that could also be taken as Max's provocation, but soon Gergeda understood the intent.
"Were you watching me? Valsas?"
"That's the thing. I say no, but it's not like I don't trust you. Instead, I know you'll be alone when you're serious, Valsas. So in case you think about it, you asked me for a backup. Maybe that's the worst part."
"But why did you notice? I'm not supposed to tell anyone I'm after that woman."
"Don't think you're the only one who's suspicious? And so do we."
At that time, the window rang with a cone. Apparently, Max's Rubbers are outside. Is that a signal that prompts vigilance right now, Max, when he signaled to be quiet with his fingers, heard the sound of losing so much and going up the stairs that a foundine came into the room.
"Gergeda, you're safe, right? Oh, and Max."
"... oh."
Gergeda did not dare to answer how he replied, but Fondaine did not care about Gergeda's attitude or anything like that, nor was she surprised by Max's presence, and spoke to Gergeda in a sweet voice.
"Good for you. I've had some errands since then, but when I went back to the inn to find you, I didn't see you, so I was worried. I'm glad they found us."
"How did you find me?
"As soon as you follow the smell. Have you forgotten I'm a warcrafter?"
"Oh, excuse me... inn?
To Max's point, Fondane smiles.
"It's wild, Max. That's what I'm saying."
"Oh, I see. Bad taste. Oh, shit."
"Hey, are you making fun of me?
Max was clapping his hands after he had teared one up. But my face is not laughing at all.
"But love within the regiment is free. You can do whatever you want."
"Hey, Temehe. Seriously, you're gonna get mad at me?
"I don't mind getting angry, Fondaine. I want you to think about what it means for me to be here. You want me to be honest with you about what you were doing in this city?
Max made sure he rode himself out of the chair and at the same time his voice was awesome. And the killing spirit that comes from the outside. It is clear that Max's men, the four Rubbers, surround the room. Max was willing to interrogate or torture Fondaine if necessary. But they just entrust the Blackhawk captain, and the Fondaine doesn't flinch to this extent either. Only as a fortitude, she was confronting Max.
"Please. That's all."
"At whose request?
"That's to mercenary fluency, not something you can't talk about?
"Only this time is the exception. You know you're in a bad position?
To Max's words, Phew, and one sigh of Fundaine. I just said I had no choice but to look, and I was telling the whole story.
- It's Yatri.
"Yatri? That brave Zems line, they say, merchant Yatri?
"Yes. And the original tightening of Yatri's introduction, which is said to go into the five fingers on the continent. Before that, do you guys know my role in the Blackhawk?
"Role in the Blackhawk," he said?
Fondaine nodded.
"By the nature of the way I fight, I don't keep humans company. If humans are one of us, we could get involved. So for moving alone, it can be accommodating. My role is in public relations. It's primarily my job to open up new requests."
"New Pioneering?
"Yes, the role of examining the safety of the requests we receive in large mouths. I have a role to play, just as each of you has a vault number and a dirty actor.
My goal this time is to examine the merchant Yatri. You know he's one of Zems the brave, and Zems the brave is never an innocent person, right?
"Well, that's a famous story. So what?
"I'm going to finish Zems. It's a fabric stone for that."
Gergeda and Max gazed at Fondaine's words.
