The Branded Female Fencer

"Lasha, are you there?

"No, Captain Zeldos. The smell is broken here."

It was the smell of Cayman that Blackhawk 4th Squad, commonly known as the Beasts, was following. Hearing stories of encounters with strange beasts from Canato and Mireille of the rendezvous 0th Squad, Zeldos, the captain, realized that it was an amiable of the old knowledge. Cayman and Zeldos were born and raised in close proximity to the settlement, and those who hope to become military tend to gather naturally for an arms test. He was one turn older than Zeldos in it, remembering that the strongest was Cayman. I've actually hoped for a match, but rarely do I meet a beast as strong as that one later or earlier. I felt it might not have been strange to be a beast general, minus that I was a young man. But there were no rumors of Cayman, who was supposed to have joined the army, just to the point of hearing about the fact that there was such a man in the company of Dryan, who later became king. No one knew the story of the time, nor did he speak with his mouth firmly shut when he asked Dryan again. There were also several occasions when that led to fights with Dryan originally.

The only thing Dreyan told me is that Cayman is alive. From that reply, I took the liberty of concluding that he was probably lurking somewhere as a king's spy, and did not pursue him any further. In doing so, I also blended into the human world, and while I was a tavern owner, etc., it was an event that I was busily killed and did to the other side of my memory. Mireille wouldn't have followed it around if it weren't for the characteristic appearance, and probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Zeldos doesn't even know what bothers him like he doesn't even remember his face anymore. We probably don't know why the 4th Squad faces we're looking for together. It just seems to me that the deputy captain Rascha is the only one running through Zeldos and Tarrum, trapped with the same concerns and impatience.

I followed the smell of a beast, but the smell was cut off in front of one of the crematoriums of the orcs rising outside the castle. There is an unpleasant smell of oil and meat in the surroundings. The beasts, many times more nosy than men, each withstood the stench by covering his mouth and nose.

"Keho, keho. Captain, that's it. This smell, it happens. Hey. Why don't you just go ahead? Then you can't even breathe."

"The burning smell of this oak makes my chest shit worse whenever I smell it. Human beings and homogeneous-eating species emit a strange odor that is largely unbearable when killed, but especially not this time. This smell alone is going to cause a plague."

"Captain Zeldos, what do you care? Well, they'll cremate you with the oak. It's a knee-jerk way to bury you, but if you get ashed, go on the wind and go home to Groussard. Come on. The Southern Front. Then a lot of us are going wild. Compared to that, you'd better be blessed. Come on."

"I know. That's not it, that's not it..."

Although I tried to deny it, for example, Zeldos doesn't know what caused the discomfort either. Just enough to ignore the stench that my nose was about to bend, there was something about it that caught me. Zeldos is a pretty rational thinker for a beast man, but he has never let his intuition go away.

In time, Lasha noticed one thing and softly approached Zeldos and spoke in a small voice.

"Captain, do you have a minute?

"What, you don't want the rest of the crew to ask you?

"Yes, here's the smell of the guys from Squad 5. And more than one. I haven't noticed the rest of the crew yet, but I'm in a good position to meet them. I remember the smell. Those guys. Oh, look, they don't have a lot of troops in and out besides their thoughts. Do you know that no one lacks about 20 ancient ginseng noodles?

"Really?

"You're a team that rarely assembles all of us. Or you don't want me to think so, if you look closely, it's the same rash on your face. Well, they're involved, I don't know why."

"You won't let the others hear it because it's going to be a fight"

"Well, I'll start with the guys from Squad 5, because when we meet, we can't start killing each other. I have these shitheads to die for, so if they find out they've handled the corpse of an animal man the captain knows, that's all I can imagine, right?

"Oh, yeah"

It was thought that it would undoubtedly be a matter of blood rain. Zeldos suggested stopping the one-end pursuit, leaving the rest to Meigna to wait. And he followed Lache and the two of them to the liquor store where the 5th company was.

Squad 5 was, as usual, wrapped in crumbs at the end of the place tavern. Let the woman out, threaten the other guests, and force her to drink the liquor of the store. It's that it's just silly to ask mercenaries for morality (morality), but the guys in Squad 5 just seemed to lack even the minimum morality as people.

Ex-military, and if you try Zeldos, who ran the liquor store himself, these people can't get angry, but now they weren't.

"Lasha, when?"

"It's that bald head. His name is definitely Bern."

The two headed straight for Bern. Some people chilled that the beast man smelled like a beast, but there's just no fool to hold these two off their path. Bern, sitting in the back seat, glanced at the two and urged his men, who were in the front, to instruct them with their jaws.

"Well, sit down, you two"

"Fine, I won't stay long. There's only one requirement, I want to hear from whom you undertook to dispose of the Beast Man"

"I'm not saying you guys did it."

"Not if you're asking me that. I'm on my feet right now, you know?

Seeing Zeldos' hair turn upside down, Squad 5 each drew a weapon on hand. What doesn't frighten me when I see Zeldos kill is just a unit of Blackhawk?

But Bern was the only one shaking his neck beside him.

"Mr. Zeldos, you shouldn't. I can afford it."

"I have a bad feeling about it. It's not just about us. It could be about you guys."

"... I'm already involved. Our heads and, Fondaine. You know how you've been making out lately?

"What's wrong with that?"

"My head is with me all the time. That's what I mean."

Bern didn't even try to see Zeldos. Now Lasha kills him for that attitude, but Zeldos often asks Bern for his thought-provoking face.

"Is that what you mean? Can I take care of that?

Don't ask me.

"Okay. Lasha, let's go."

"Ha, ha"

Lasha couldn't understand what was going on, so she secretly asks Zeldos when she leaves the tavern.

"Captain, what's your current interaction?

"Well, you don't know either. Then you'd better."

"? What do you mean?"

"Gergeda is working. Then we'd better not move. It's annoying, but I'll have to take care of it."

Lasha tilted her neck, but Zeldos and I are not convinced. But we've discussed it before when Valsas and Zeldos created the current Blackhawk. One of them, we have to decide what to do when a traitor comes out in the squad. Valsas hadn't asked what measures he had put in place just to snort quietly at the words, but Zeldos was saddened that it had been transferred to execution.
