The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 83 - In the Arena at Tarram

"I didn't know you were going to nominate me. Were you going to do that from the start?

"Didn't you mean that from the beginning? I know better than to watch."

Liliam laughed all the time.

"You were being read. Of course, I didn't even intend to put it out, as I don't seem to talk about it in this team fight. Nevertheless, I was going to do it more securely. Do you prefer flashy?

"You can't run and hide here, can you? Nobody has a witness, even if it turns out so well. In case they tease me, I'll be in trouble. Besides, it's gonna be a good sell for us."

"Excessive confidence destroys you, doesn't it?

"Isn't that the same for you? How can you still live in such an embarrassing eye? Oh, because you killed everyone involved."

Liliam's expression blued in the words whispered softly in Alphilis' ears. The question arises as to why. But Alphilis continued to deviate. Exactly when I bought this story, I hesitated to even use it for a rush in Alphilis, but I really needed to make Liliam serious without a hangover. I thought there was no point in not assembling the real Lilliam.

Besides, I thought Liliam's greatest strength lay in calm, just to listen, so I wanted to shake her psychologically before I fought. It is the basic tactic of Alphilis to always take it to a situation that is unfavourable to the other person and in his favor.

But - things were different all this time. From Lilliam, the signs were all gone for a moment. And the adjudicator next door crushed this.

"... this provocation is a failure. I'll give you the signal to start, but I suggest you run away at the same time."

"Yes?"

"You made" Black Lilliam "serious, didn't you? Even the organization decided to look out for him, how... frightened. I'll pray for you, don't die."

"Wait a minute -"

"(Focus, they're coming!

Immediately after Alphilis tries to question the female referee who uttered the words of concern, the female referee gently distances herself and signals the start of the game. Alphilis wasn't alarmed, but he put it out in the form of a sword to Lilliam's side according to his instincts. Fly backwards at the same time and stand back. A light shock ran once in his hand, and the wooden knife Alphilis had had was tearing apart eight times. It's supposed to be the same wooden weapon, but it's like using a sharp blade, or looking at a wooden knife that's been torn apart by a suspicious force, and a war runs on Alphilis. Without a word of shadow, he could have died.

And the shadows were crushing.

"(Shit...)"

"What?"

"(This is not human business. I thought fewer people had the power to stand out in the modern age, but you still have such a swordsman. With me, I could barely see)"

"Huh?"

No way, is that happening? An attack so fast that the shadows can't be seen? Alphilis was filled with incredible feelings.

"(Cut five times at the meeting. That was a move to strike out four bottles from another direction and pass through the first sword muscle and dimension in the last blow. So I actually cracked it to 8 instead of 10, but I guess I tried to see if I could see it through - but that wasn't the full speed. The attack now has been attacked at least 16 times. It's a monster)"

"I don't care what you say about that... I'm not proud of you, but I didn't see you at all, did I?

"(Do something. Don't die more than that, okay? They're willing to kill you, aren't they? Your head would have been ripped off if you hadn't stabbed the wooden knife earlier)"

"Don't be scared!

Alphilis screamed unexpectedly, but it wasn't the case. They did this with the same wooden weapon. There is also a considerable difference in strength. No, on the contrary, maybe it's more powerful than Cassandra.

And there's one more thing that bothers me. The shadows and the alphilis were thinking the same thing.

"Hey, Lilliam's dark hair is ground hair, isn't it? Then..."

"(Oh, you mean with some sort of magician, or special powers)"

"... should I really abstain"

"(Do you think you can forgive me for that?

When Alphilis glimpsed Lilliam, he was apparently just going to replace his warped weapon. Besides, I was just about to prepare multiple weapons so that the weapons could be distorted this time. Apparently, I mean it.

Alphilis narrowed down the options.

"Sure, I can't do it anymore. Then do you really have to do it?"

"(Do you use a curse mark?

"No, I'll stop doing that. If I let the curse go, it could be counterproductive for me to get out here. I'll handle it in full, without a curse."

"(Because if you don't think you can do it, I'll take your place, right? I don't mean for you to die in here either)"

Without having to take shadow advice, Alphilis was starting to act. Because I didn't think Liliam would wait for me. And Alphilis had his hands on the ground with enough distance from Lilliam.
