The Branded Female Fencer

"... you're still a curious person, Alphilis. It's about you to think about not having such a thump. Besides, the existence of a ruler of Tarram is like a rumor. It's one of the many mirage stories on this continent."

"I have grounds and certainties. Will you listen to me?

"It could be a square mountain story, if you like. Because your story is interesting."

I see no upset in Levere. Alphilis started talking.

"Did I tell you how I came to this city?

"Request from Arnelia, to strengthen ties with Tarram. Yes, I'm hearing it from Forminay."

"To that end, we needed to know the leading men of Tarram. Arnelia thought there was a good chance that the ruler existed, but it was clear from the start that there were certain people who had a strong influence on Tarram, whether he was ruler or not."

"Why?"

"We can prevent the Arnelian Church from interfering so far. It's me in the form of Arnelia's asylum, but that's why I know his powers so well. It's not something you can retreat from so you can retreat. Yet Tarrum is unaffected by Arnelia. I can't imagine the current bishop just not feeling that way. At least there must be someone in the back who can just cross with Arnelia. Guild chiefs like Forminese have tenure, so somewhere they are bound to weaken the power of Parliament. It's not possible for someone on the stage to fit in for so long."

"Maybe he's just letting Arnelia swim the tarram because he doesn't feel like it"

"Of course I thought about that. There are other reasons. This city has too many magical elements. Most of them were dubious by Moguri magicians, but there was something excellent in them to hide. If I hadn't realized that, I'd have handled the orcs a little differently."

"Excellent stuff?

"The activation ceremony of a huge junction covering every city of this city. It looked just like what was in Arnelia. It was a bet if it was really a tie, and if it was going to start, but I was sure I was keeping an eye on this hall. No one is prepared to escape in battle, however the inhabitants of Tarram risk their lives to play. As many Tarram residents prepared to flee, only this hall was open as usual as well as ready to flee. Besides, call in all the good customers. Are they the investors in this building? Weren't you going to protect them as a priority if you had to?

"I'm sorry, but I can't answer anything about you. confidentiality."

"Oh, you did. But when I saw this building open as usual, I thought there was no real crisis in Tarram. That's why I was safely watching the oak move. Exactly. I was in a bit of a hurry when the giant demon king came over to make a big push.

Plus the conversation just now. It was during the war that this city possessed more than 10,000 wars. How do you know that?

"I told you I studied? This city has kept records since its inception."

"I can't do that, Levere. The Tarram City Hall burns down once in a fire 250 years ago. At that time, some of the records are in the vault. The burned records were repaired wherever possible, but the records on the vigilante's size limit remain lost." Thirteen years before the fire, it was possible to confirm in Parliament that the number of vigilantes had been reduced to a maximum of 5,000, but it is unclear how many were restricted before that ". I have no idea that I possessed more than 10,000 wars. All I know is it was left in Arnelia's dossier. How do you know that you were born and raised in Tarram?

"On record, yes, but it's still a rumor. I forgot who I asked, but I've certainly heard that before"

Luvere grinned, but Alphilis sighed in dismay at the way he excused himself.

"... indeed. That hurts when you say that. But what about this?

"What's this?

The letter Alphilis gave me was a letter I found in the library. When I saw the sender, for the first time, Luvere's expression shook.

"... where did you get this?

"It was caught in a library picture book. Is the author Naina? I'm really good at painting. This would have become popular beyond the scope of a picture book. I looked elsewhere, and you're the one who actually pioneered the painting of photography. That's all the paintings he left behind."

Alphilis went on to show the notebook. There's a picture of a girl and an old woman, and that's...

"At first I thought the little lady was that Naina. But you're not. The girl, she looks just like you. No, it's you. It is faithfully reproduced in the picture of the truth until the black child or the scabbard. No matter how similar they are, no one will match up to the stain of a black child or a scab, right? You were more Naina the old woman. I think you drew it in the mirror.

But I wonder who the old lady calls her mother, Levere. No, we know who that is. You must be a witch. It also had considerable power. What do you think? "

"- Hehe, is that it? Stand back, you guys. I'm not going to harm this man."

At that time, the people who were asking about this situation from Shi 'a's shadow showed up and were backing off in a gracious manner. They are whores who work here. Some of them appeared primese and forminese.

As they all lowered, Levere began to exhale loudly and speak slowly.
