The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 159 - Retaliation

"People are targeted for their lives at four or six times by enemies who can transform themselves into inorganic objects. That could be the chair Dart sat in, or the cup he took in his hand. Maybe a cup of dried tea is Armas' number three."

"You think you can turn into a liquid, too?

"It's a matter of possibility. Because you don't even know the nature of that ability, do you? To avoid such a situation for sure, kill number three, or kill the client.

But it will be difficult to find the person. What do you know about the client?

"... the woman I killed yesterday on a foggy night. What whorehouse did that woman work in? I didn't even care, but you're going to need to find out. We need to find our daughter who let her go."

"Can you look?

"I'm a magician. That's a stupid question."

"Well, maybe we should hurry up."

"Why not?

Enema took a seat when she drank up the contents of the cup.

"The formation of the orcs outside is changing slightly. Sounds like they've decided to keep it static because there's no response at all to the vigilante ambush either, but aren't the orcs going to set it up tonight? A total of 40,000, as opposed to 2,000 Tarram vigilantes, even if mobilized. If we can set it up from all directions, we can't destroy it as well as we did earlier. I can't even use the vagrants like last night to work with the vigilante. Using a bandrass gesture won't do so well, will it?

Seems like the schemers and Zems have some ideas, but as usual, they'll do a lot of damage to the city before they move. If Zems moves, we'll follow him, but he'll probably leave Tarram there.

If the orcs attack me, things will go awry. My client could die, and the third number in Almas could leave the city. Then, from now on, no matter where you are on the continent, you will not be able to gain your own safety. As long as the request is valid, Almas will come after us. The assassinating side can choose as much time and place as they want, and those who are targeted will always remain frightened by its shadows. That's the strength of the target side. So if you're going to kill number three in Almas, that means it's the last time this evening. It's not an opportunity to be certain that the side you're after is within a certain range.

No matter how good your magic is for interception, it's top notch over there. It might be the most effective and last resort we can do here. "

"... I know, that's not true. But you won't cooperate, will you?

"Depends on the terms. If you sit down and say," Help me, Enema, "I'll think about it, okay?

"You just think about it anyway, don't you? Ridiculous."

Dart, humming his nose, put down his enama and went back to the room, but after a few moments he just changed and showed up again, and when he received a snack for the outing from the innkeeper, he left with a fast leg. Apparently, he remembers a threat to his opponent by becoming a dart. Enema laughed mean when she saw him like that, but she had nothing to do until evening, so she snuck after Dart when she took the wand again, too.

The morning came and Layer and Banderas were walking down a dim alley that had become quiet. The bandrass came after the layer to be exact, but the layer didn't care about it again, and the bandrass waited patiently for the words of the layer.

This boy is stubborn and cautious. When Bandras analysed the character of the layer that way, he decided not to speak up except when necessary. Otherwise, I didn't think I'd get the credit of the layers.

And when the layer's legs stopped perfectly, the bandrass also stopped his legs.

"... what do I do?

He was a layer with his back turned, but the anguish coming from that voice didn't even have to look at his expression.

"Hyo-hyo, it's not the kid who decides that. Even if you don't know what to do, do you know what you want to do?

"Kill them. I'm sorry for you."

"No, I don't need to feel guilty about anything. Non and others have always maintained their position and fame by hunting the mighty, but they are also in a position to be targeted on the contrary. Some people call it a thief, but if you make it the people who stole it, it will be nothing but villains. Brave people, that sort of thing. Just because it's convenient for the vast majority of us to be supported, it's imperative that any good man be resented as long as he takes the sword. They stick to each other for their own desires and interests, and if they die on the way, that's the relationship until then. If not just before the world dies, such as a true brave man, you won't show up. I have the characteristics to be a 'hero'. Heroes, if you're wrong, you're a mass murderer.

Well, aside from the bareback, Dart and Anaseth are two interesting people, so I wanted to be on their side whenever possible, but I can't help it. If you die here, it's destiny again. "

"Does that mean you'll cooperate with me?

"Well, don't"

"Why"

In response to Layer's question, Banderas answered honestly.

"The pleasure of Nan is a collection of the lives of the people who are called" Characteristics. "Characteristics have a variety of abilities, but many lead lives that are peculiar because of their abilities. You know, many of those who have left their names in history are characteristic. Painters, politicians, warriors - special people who are indefinite to count, but show irresistible power outside of training. That's what it's all about.

At first glance, you can see if the human has the characteristics. Let's tell him that's what Non is capable of.

"Like our captain?

"Unfortunately, it's not like Alphilis."

Beyond that, Banderas wondered if he should say. Surely Alphilis didn't feel talented in appearance. But there is no wonder why it has been so powerful in the short term. I thought it might be that my sly unknown powers worked there, but I couldn't help but put into words that I couldn't even speculate on my own. At least, it is certain that it does not possess characteristics, but it is also unlikely that it will acquire characteristics. That's unless you're also someone else.

than that.

"The Zems of Nong et al. possess quite unusual properties. Has' hero 'characteristics. His actions can be supported by every human being. Whether he does good or bad. You can call it the strongest of luck, but his power is always maximized on the battlefield. In a way, a cursed warrior was promised victory."

"Isn't that an anomaly?"

"Ruri. That's why Non and he want it. A presence that could reasonably justify Zems. At least a presence that can cross each other.

Whether or not, there were a few of your lords with special powers. It's a rare ability that I don't even know if I've seen many properties. Non wants to know what it is. Better than Dart and Anarchy. That's why Nong works with you. Why don't you?

The layer roared, but it still didn't stick. I feel like I've taken too much of a leap, and I can't keep my head on it.
