The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 130 - Queen of Pleasure
"Characteristic is what we call a gift of nature. I mean talent that can't be helped by effort and cannot be explained by theory. Bandras is good at finding it, and I'm good at determining how capable it is. We solicited all of our people together."
"Huh. So, what's your talent?
"I'm a merchant. Nothing to hide or do, but you know what I mean?
"You mean good at business?
To the words of the layer, Yatri hoisted up the edge of his mouth and laughed.
"There's that too. But he's a talent who's making business happen. I'm good at appraisals. At first glance, you can see what nature that person is and what it will look like in the future. I don't care who it is or who it is. That's why he was a merchant and a success."
"? I don't know."
"I know what you mean, now."
When Yatri threw something in his mouth, the layers packed in between in one piece. He tells me his instincts are bad. But Yatri blocked the layers' sight with his undressed jacket, and suddenly something like smoke broke out when he made a flash of gaps. Layers lowered to consider the possibility of poison, but when the smoke cleared, there stood a lean yatrid like someone else. No, I didn't just lose weight. His face was younger, too, and his shape was very muscular. I don't care what you think, he's 20 years old. It's the look there.
Yatri stood good at it, and the lay stared at it.
"That's the ability?
"No, no, this is simply one technique they say 'qigong'. I had the help of medicine. The technology used by the top warriors, but I guess Fostina is the easiest to understand. I don't mind you telling me I can do anything if I'm in the mood."
"Such an appropriate"
"It's like a joke, but it's definitely a technology. There is aptitude for mastery. By the way, you shouldn't expect me to run out of strength in this look. Combat power is definitely up there, but above all, endurance is completely different. I've been moving for three days and three nights, but I wasn't tired."
"So, what's your ability?
"Don't be so hasty, fight and you'll see. Until then, I wish I had your life."
Yatri pounded unconstitutionally. Sure, one step faster than earlier, but not so much as not yet involved. Layer certainly avoided it. Ahead, he couldn't hide his surprise that he was beaten to death by a blow by a stone clash.
"Strange? But this is all about the realm of how you can't be a genius. This is the difference no matter how talented you are."
Yatri's attacks were more accurate than earlier. A joke, a lower section, a gibberish. Each is sure to blur the layer. Most importantly, the attack is coming after what the layers have tried to do. I barely prevented Schempez from being taken away from him, but suddenly he was on the defensive side. Push, pull, pull, push. The thrust seemed to be broken, distracted, and against a lazy willow.
Layer had just met a few dozen times and realized who the discomfort was.
"This is-"
"(Oh, you're prefetched)"
"What do you mean?
"(Observational eye - I wonder if a merchant would also call it appraisal eye. Insights coming from immense combat experience. I guess that's his weapon. This is troublesome. Even if I tell my master how to fight, there will be an instantaneous shift in time. A little of that would be life-saving. Looks like we should fight here on the assumption of retreat)"
"Yeah, right."
Layers are not obsessed with battle. It was important to be alive first. There is only one difficulty, but the lay thought it would not be understood.
But Yatri's appraisal eyes outweighed those of Layer and Schempez.
"Speaking of which, you guys... you used to come into this hall, didn't you? This place is supposed to be protected in the junction, though?
"That's you too."
"I made a hole in advance. Still ready to go down there like that, huh? And you... you have something to do with the girl hiding behind there?
Behind the layer, there was Irmatal, who had earlier told me to hide. I said you can't follow me, but I couldn't get in without Irmatal in this hall in the first place. Though I had no choice but to think that I or even Lisa would be able to get past most of Ilmatal's hiding, but it didn't make sense to Yatri.
