The Branded Female Fencer

"One bottle, until then"

There was more cheer among Jaeger's mercenaries at Rosetta's decision. It is no longer the norm, matching the last layer and line of practice. Recently, mercenaries watching over the situation began to place bets. The line seals one hand, seals one foot, puts some kind of limit on it. By contrast, the layers are not telling anyone, but they only use sword moves within the lines taught. I'm betting on whether I can get one off the line in that state.

By the way, before I went to Tarram, the layer just took one with both legs of the line tied and one hand sealed. Otherwise, however, it is as if there are no teeth on the line. But the lay also gained some confidence after a fierce struggle in Tarram. The mercenaries, sensitive to its inner changes, wagered slightly more on the layers, but the result was with both feet on the ground and on a one-handed line.

Layer was squeaking with a staring up at the sky.

"... why?

"The motion is stiffening, okay? You're tougher than you were before you went to Tarram. It seemed confident, but I wonder if my experience with Tarram is counterproductive. Well, that's a common illness in soldiers who just graduated from recruiting."

"Is that happening?

"Now is not the time to risk your life or death. There will be an archery, but you have not gained experience fighting with a knight's sword, have you? Maybe it wasn't then, but there's no way I can stretch it without using what I was taught. That's why it's a different combat experience."

"Hmm, hard"

Because the layers looked difficult and bothered him, Rhine brutally stroked his head.

"Well that's it. The path of strength doesn't stretch in a straight line even with training. Sometimes you go back or take a detour. Well, you should worry about it once in a while, anyone.

There are times when I'm more afraid of a straight line. I climb fast, but I'm willing to fall. "

"Which, by the way, is the deputy chief better at the current sword or the original sword?

Damn it, this guy, and Rhine got a tough look for a second. Rhine has rarely shown the original knight sword in front of the mercenaries. Did I use it recently when I had sex with Calamity? But I guess there was something about layers of swords that went together day after day.

Rhine answered honestly.

"It is the sword now as a mercenary that I am personally good at waving. But it was the knight's sword that was highly regarded. In fact, in the battle against powerful enemies, the knight's sword naturally emerges."

"So I'm still not in the vice president's realm."

"It's not like that. The only time I use a knight's sword is when I risk my life or death. What a disgrace to be an ex-knight, because it's not something to make a big deal of. Don't talk too much about other people, okay?

"If the deputy commander's orders."

Layer praised, and the line slipped away. Immediately after that, Elsia talks to me.

"You lost again flashy."

"They just paid me for my legs and put a poke in my brain. But they did it lighter than I imagined."

"Really? I thought I was a piece of paper. Because the layers seemed kind of hard to move."

Layer looked at Elsia as a hack. How did you realize that? I noticed layers looking at Elsia anxiously, and Elsia was rushing to fix it.

"Oh, you don't always watch that, do you? But my body seemed kind of heavy, so I was wondering if I was tired of being used in tarram."

"... oh, my God. Oh, you know what?"

I thought you'd noticed your natural work and strength for a moment, but it doesn't seem to be something like that. Layer lowered his chest with his heart.

"So? I was wondering if I could help you."

"Yeah, yeah. Speaking of layers, you work on sharpening swords, don't you?

"Sometimes. I'll be practicing knowing about Minori and the sword. Why?"

"I was wondering if you could sharpen my sword"

Layer was surprised when Elsia asked him to do so strangely.

"Why? My sharpening is a good place to learn, and the city sharpeners are quicker and better with their arms, right? If I practiced with my sharpened sword, I might go in the wrong direction."

"It's okay! That's what I decided!! And I don't get paid that much, and I want to save money!

"Extraordinary rewards for his work in Tarrum, right? Did you already use it?

"I'm not, I am!

I want you to sharpen it, and Elsia let her mouth pound. It was an unexpected desire from Elsia, but I thought it might be like a confession of love. How could it be such a development when Rosetta pointed out that the sword was missing and I thought I would leave it to you, depending on the reward of the layer.

As Elsia was wandering, even more Lunatica came to the layers.
