The Branded Female Fencer

"I didn't expect anything that hadn't been seen through in 600 years to be so light. Even that Miriazal said he didn't notice me. I didn't know Nena was gonna be a breakthrough. No, it could have been something I expected. So I told her not to paint herself, but she always liked pranks."

"Is Naina a real daughter?

"No, that kid is an orphan. Just like so many other whores. But I'm very impressed with that kid. She was one of the best women I ever worked with, and an extraordinarily sweet girl. As a whore, my personality wasn't right, and I made him learn to paint and do business, but I didn't think I'd make it that far. She was one of the few daughters who understood me well and could speak equally even though she was not a witch."

"Not all the whores in the golden purity hall seem to be witches."

"It's less than half the number. Many grow up as prostitutes and end their lives without knowing who I am or anything else. I have also raised people who are not suitable as prostitutes so that they can have their own shops independently. It's just that only women I deal with. I've tried to raise men, but I guess men still need fathers. Raising boys often didn't go well, partly because of the environment with so many witches.

It's just that the boys are roughly doing well with the help of generations of Arnelian bishops like Volgius and the city's chamber of commerce doing so well that we get them out of the orphanage to be polite and dutiful there. He also bought a role for Bandras. Well, he's distorted, so it often didn't seem to work, but still, he loved Tarrum the way he did. We don't deny it until we feel that way, and we need people to put together kids who don't grow up properly. "

"... the knights of Arnelia took care of Bandras. I was only told he had a fairly distorted sexuality, and I don't know any other details."

"I'm not a saint prince, Alphilis. I'm just a protector of taram. He is the one who has watched over this land since roughly before Tarram could be done. Bandras only used it because there was a match of interests. I didn't trust him, I didn't spare him."

"The way you put it, it's certainly aristocratic. I ask you again, you're a witch, right?

"Ruri. I'm late, but let me introduce myself. I'm Le Vere, a witch of a few secrets. who is the bearer of order in this taram and who exists to repel all external enemies. Mercenary Alpha Reese, see you later."

Levere gracefully stood up and thanked him. Because the way of thanking him was more graceful than any person I had ever seen, and a little too far back, Alphilis rushed to take that hand and let him stand up.

"I don't like that anymore. I don't think it's gonna treat me any more normally."

"Oh, some dynasties imitated what we did when we didn't have the courtesy of a court yet, did they? I'm pretty much the first idea of that. I don't know if it's such a big deal. Let's call ourselves a courtesy witch."

"That's why I don't like being tough!

"Oh, too bad I think it would be quite something if I wore it. If the mercenaries go out of business, stay here, I'll hire you."

Levere took his seat laughing like a prank and gracefully. Alphilis realizes that the tone of the conversation is being taken to Le Vere, and he recollects his mind and talks again.

"What's a few secret witches? You're not like a common witch?

"Shall I confirm my perception of witches before then? Witches who participate in the cohort of witches are witches who belong to the so-called division into five major elements, two attributes. But some people in the world exercise magic that is not such an attribute. Even though all of them were reciprocal a long time ago when the study of the five major elements and the two attributes had not progressed, witches like me were considered a minority in number logic when the study of the five major elements and the two attributes progressed and the witches belonging to them became perceived and found without most leaks. They have adopted a system of brotherhood and started to raise their successors.

Witches who belong to the Golden House of Purity are those who are classified as so-called 'others'. Unlike common witches, very few realize their qualities, nor do their own masters, disciples, rarely exist. Without exception with me, while living for more than 600 years, I have not met anyone who would be a mentor, nor anyone with similar talents. Only those who realize that talent themselves and have grown up can become one of us.

That is why we were able to avoid the tragedy of the Witch Regiment. This is due to my abilities, too. Looks like Fairtoose wanted to speak to us too, but she didn't know how to reach us. I may have done something wrong, but I didn't have to get involved. "

"You think such a witch gathers all this in this golden purity hall?

"A dozen of us have finally gathered together over 600 years. Most of all, my hypothesis is that every human being has the gift of being a witch, but perhaps he will end his life without the opportunity to demonstrate that ability."

"If so, I wonder how it would have been in the case of Levere. Was there any incentive to use your powers?

"In my case, probably -- well, let's talk a little bit about us."
