The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 179 ~ Retaliation ㉙ ~

"- Indeed. That ability sucks for me. I mean, it must suck for a lot of magicians as well as people who don't have the means to attack magic."

"Exactly. There will be no problem in a situation where there is as much preparation as possible for enduring warfare, but Dart's ability is best demonstrated in urban areas where people can be disputed and in places with lots of shields. Normal magicians are believed to have the best ability to fight in places rich in nature, but Dart specializes in fighting in the city. Do you understand what Non is trying to say?

"I regret it, okay"

"Unfortunately, I can't even advise you on how to fight where I found out. I can't even imagine the art of winning by cutting the front and fighting. Is there anything you can do?

"For once, a few came to mind. It's going to be worth a try."

"Ho."

There are actually several ways Bandras can also tailor a dart, but that presupposes a surprise. If you are one of them, it will be easy to be surprised, but if you are perceived to be an enemy, your chances are even lower. Yet Layer says he has come up with multiple ways to defeat Dart. It was also interesting for Banderas, but I looked forward to that.

"Don't let him sneak up on the battle, let him see it."

"Now don't interrupt me, okay?

"Of course not. By the way, if you say no to one thing, that girl is one of Noon's men. I don't know who the boss is, but all the bandits made up of boys and girls in this city are a flavor of the Banderas Bandits. Don't tell me it's terrible, huh? Loiters and others can have trouble eating that day if they don't work to steal, and most importantly, whether or not they have money on hand is the key to raising the poor who don't even have a family registration.

Noh only teaches those who wish to kill, and in principle, until he is an adult, the killing is lawful. Stealing and targeting is limited to wealthy objects, and they teach you not to steal to ruin your opponent. Those who save a certain amount and wish to lose their legs have not stopped, and some have their own stores based on the money they have earned in fact themselves.

Am I wrong about what I'm doing?

"I don't know that. But..."

It was the same layers that did any dirty thing to live. And the layers didn't even hesitate to kill. Neither that nor this, because he had no one to lead him. For the floaters here, that means it's bandrass. Is it like an alphilis for me? If you think about it that way, I certainly don't feel like blaming Banderas.

But.

"I'm always wondering if there was anything else I could do, possibly. Stealing must be a cheap way. I'm sure we'll find a better way."

"I can't live with every beauty."

"I know. But that's not what I or you should talk about. And our hands are stained with blood."

"I won't deny it. But if you don't, it's true that nobody did."

Still, I mean it when I feel like I shouldn't keep Bandras alive, but I couldn't say anything more to the layer. Outside the building, hostility towards layers is felt to be common. That's all we know about the stray kids trusting Banderas. Layers somehow felt close to guilt and were to leave the scene shriveling the killing intentions they were pointing against Banderas.

"I'll follow your guide to the dart. Non's men are watching. Non has a little work to do, so we'll meet up when it's done. Never set me up until Noon meets you."

"Depends on the situation. Either way, you're not gonna help me, are you?

"Nona. But there will be others who are after Dart. There is no hand in not using them. Use everything you can."

"I'm going to do that from the start."

As the layer exited the building, a relatively elderly boy gave instructions to follow the layer with his jaw. And before they took me, Fondaine was waiting. Layer didn't know her name, but she looked familiar to her face.
