The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 279 - Quiet Anger (7) -

Renatica made sure Lilliam was safe, and saw how the layers were. I look at the body rolling at my feet and tilt my neck.

"Layer, briefly explain. There will be a hindsight soon."

"Oh. Actually..."

Layer explained that this was silence, and that Liliam had entered the force from being attacked. Lunatica had meanwhile been testing Silence's body.

"This is silence? I thought I'd put up with the dolls."

"It's supposed to be, but they've got nine others."

"Two on top, one here... you should show it to Lisa once. These guys' bodies, they're not made of the same dolls they used to be. I can't distinguish myself from humans. I can't make a decision on that, but how did the layers tell?

"Same killer. I think it's easy, though?

"I can't tell if I'm not killin '. If you're sneaked behind my back and attacked, it's over. There must be six more. You know what I mean?"

"... right, let's show Lisa. And we need to treat Liliam."

"I know. I'll leave it to you later. I guess it's not a good idea to find out that layers can fight a lot. Pull back here immediately and report to Alpha Reese and Rhine."

"To the captain and deputy captain? How so?"

"At least we should talk to Alphilis. They can't be irrelevant again. Besides, those two will work out a good plan. Besides, Alphilis has already noticed. It won't deceive her forever."

"... how could they have noticed"

"That's the strange thing about Alphilis"

Weirdly convinced by Renatica's words, Layer went far and went back to the Alphilis.

Helping Lilliam and leaving it to Cassandra later, Alphilis decided to leave Tarrum early. It didn't make any more sense to be here, and it doesn't necessarily mean something's going to happen yet. There were many concerns about Alphilis as well, but I am sorry for any further crisis. Even if not, they thought that if they were driven out by orcs' leftover hunting, they would need to do the request on a monthly basis. There was also a small amount of desire not to be poisoned by the air in this city, where the chances of war with Romansland would increase.

As Alphilis tried to put the team together and take the tarram, there was Forminey and Luvere at that exit. When Alphilis pulled the horse off the line, the three of us started talking. Luvere had erased his discomfort by lowering a little behind the formination, but it was Luvere who spoke.

"You're going."

"Yes, I'm ready for the moment."

"Because there's really no demand for us?

"I can't think of anything specific. I'm not familiar with your abilities, and I don't know your finances or your powers. I do not add the element of uncertainty to the strategy. This time, it's all the more rewarding to know that you exist. If you're ever grateful to us, think about what's right for you as an eagle."

"If that's the case, I brought you a reply. Please give it to me."

Levere handed over one seal, as the forminees urged. Because it is officially sealed, the contents cannot be seen immediately.

"What's this?

"It's a little bit of content. After you return to Arnelia, first go inside alone"

"... it seems better not to show it to Miriazal, doesn't it?

"That would be better. For us and for you. And for Arnelia."

"Okay. I'll see you soon."

"Yeah, I'll see you soon,"

To the words Alphilis smiled satisfactorily, trying to put the spot behind him. After Jaeger's face goes, a city boy drops in on the form where he was on the spot. Probably a naive servant boy, but the child has lovingly given out one seal from his nostalgia.

"Here you go, sister"

I wonder who wrote it to you.

"That was my black sister earlier."

Forminey unexpectedly looked at Luvere and began to unseal and read the contents on the spot. Its content was astonishing.
