The Branded Female Fencer

"Don't say that. Look for it - if you don't have land, you're in trouble. Hey, hey."

"Eh, wacko! Wait, the people who owe enough to catch land around here..."

"Are you really going to take it in? You should just stop..."

Elsa's commonsense remarks were not dealt with by two uplifting people. And Miranda and Alphilis are talking about not oh, not like this. And while Alphilis changed conditions from time to time, he offered one possibility.

"Then how about near the village where the eye-catching people are partitioning? If it's anything, I can cut through the woods and help with the opening."

"That much? Um, then..."

"Speaking of which, you had received an application to open the woods because you wanted to expand the place for farming. Was it Fleur Village"

"Where, it"

"Right here."

The village of Fleur, shown by Elsa spreading the map, is about three days by horse from Arnelia. Though far away from home, there is also a large city within half a day by horse. Most of all, what I liked about Alphilis is that there are mountains and rivers nearby. The village is dotted in the woods, but the population was about 500. It is a village of considerable size.

"How could there be such a village here? It's huge enough to make it in the woods."

"They used to be on the front line. When Arnelia was on the front line, there were demon kings in these woods and mountains. The forest has been cut open a lot, but it should have been a deeper forest. The village must exist with remnants of that time. I wonder if living anywhere means capital."

"Huh..."

Alphilis was only about half convinced. I also replied, but the candidate seems to have come out for now. After some discussion afterwards and putting out a few candidates, Alphilis thanked Miranda for the occasion. Miranda was giving out a big yawn, so she'll probably take a nap. Elsa returned to the deacon, but Eliza and Alberto left the room with Alphilis.

On my nostalgic face, Alphilis talks.

"Long time no see, Alberto. Haven't seen your face for a long time, but has it gotten any more awesome?

"I don't know for myself if it's gotten more awesome, but I was wondering how much stronger it got. Miranda-sama's sword."

"I see you've gained a lot of confidence."

"That kind of makes you even stronger in your bottomlessness. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I don't think your strength can be measured by sheer strength. Where the hell does that bottomlessness come from?

"Even if I ask. How's it going, Larna?

"I don't know that either."

Because I still don't know the source of the power of Alphilis, either, so Larna swallowed the words. In the end, it's a force you don't understand, and if you misunderstand, only distrust is solicited from the other person. These two serious-looking saint knights instinctively didn't like Larna, either, because of the symmetry of the powers they dealt with.

Besides, I kind of didn't think these two were just people. Why is it that the appearance is definitely human, and yet somewhere distorted with so much holy temper and magic? Larna's spine creaked when she and Alberto met each other, but she stepped back behind Alphilis so she wouldn't understand it and join the conversation.

And after splitting up with the two at the exit of the Deep Green Palace, the look on Alphilis's face, which was a smile, became serious itself.

"- It went well. Well, it's pretty much what I expected."

"Yes?"

"Contact Larna, Lisa. Head to Fleur Village for an urgent investigation. Take a few good sensors and Kazas, Closes and Seite. Ask Kazas why.

One more thing, Dwarf has a souvenir. Wictrier and Tajibo, and maybe Daron. Have Jessia arrange the best liquor you can get later. Call Cowen later. I'll know when I tell you to get ready. "

"Huh. Um, Alfie. Can you tell me what you're up to?

But to Larna's question, Alphilis only smiled lightly.

"I'm looking forward to it, Larna. It wouldn't be funny if it seeded too fast. One thing I can tell you is that we always have twitches."

That's what I said. When I saw Alphilis smile, I was convinced that Larna was definitely someone who couldn't know the bottom.
