The Branded Female Fencer

"Long time no see, so are you glad? Princess Ediod, I see you as His Highness the Muse. Oh, are you already a queen"

"Yes, I am now succeeding to the throne. My lord Diore has asked me how well you are doing."

"Ha, it's the Spirit Knight stunt that keeps you from looking old. I wish I had stopped growing at the age I was seen a little older, but it just stopped looking like the girl at the time of the contract. 200 years, that's still the same problem.

But His Highness Muse was made splendid. You will hear your name even in the countryside like the frontier of Alexandria. Without the face I found out, it made me nervous, and I spoke up. "

"Well. I hope it's not a bad rumor"

"What's all this talk about your political power and your beauty?"

Alphilis was somewhat listening to the conversation, but the first impression was that Diore did not look more harsh in character than he thought. The knights behind them also stand out with a more beautiful face than the stronger one. I'm sure it's bending, but I was expecting a stronger face when it came to the strongest knights on the continent and their leading knights.

Diore has accidentally spoken to Alphilis about such emotions on the table.

"Woman, is there something on my face?

"What? No, it doesn't have anything on it. You have a beautiful face."

Alphilis thought to himself what he was saying, but what a dumb word came out poking his mouth. When I heard the words, Diore also ate a little face, and with a slightly mean face, I called out even more to Alphilis.

"That being said, it's not like there's anything. Did you see what I was like?

Muse's expression changes to this question. Diore's question is rather ill-intentioned. Diore, to his track record and back, only looks like a total girl on the outside. Even though this is due to his contract as a spiritual knight, his opponent, who described this appearance as cute, young, etc., would buy Sulaku Diore's unhappiness. It is a famous story that once, when Diore could not yet be so famous to the continent, the nations and demon kings who ridiculed Diore's appearance on the battlefield were wiped out.

Now, what does Alphilis answer? Both Muse and the other lords watched as they made themselves clear because they saw something scary. But Alphilis was pouting his head and mouthing the words that came to his mind.

"Uh-huh, even if they say so... I wonder if it's smaller than I thought."

At that moment Ekla and Muse, plus the facades of Alexandria's mission, turned almost simultaneously bright blue. Only one of the knights behind him accidentally blew out and laughed, but one knight and others laughed with their bellies. It was famous in Alexandria that "small" was the most unspeakable forbidden sentence for Diore.

Diore was also accidentally taken aback because he abruptly said that prohibition. When was the first time they said that word? Neither did Diore predict that he would be told head-on by the first person he met, so he remained flashy for a while, but laughed out.

"Huff, ahhh... sure I'm small. It could have been smaller than the same generation of girls. Especially if you have a back length, and don't look small about me."

"Ha, I don't even think it's that big in our regiment. But it's called" Big Woman "all the time, and I don't know if I envy you."

"Envious, huh? I kinda don't remember you saying that. Well, is that the way you see it?

By the way, is it okay if you're head of Jaeger's Alpha Reese?

"Yes, it is. Are you familiar?

Diore felt more and more strange because Alphilis was impressed the other way around.

"Know what I mean? Whoever has a reputation for being strong on the continent enters our ears. If she were a beautiful, brunette, she would go up in people's mouths. And your name is special to us."

"? What do you mean?

"You don't have to know now. I plan on staying until the end of the meeting, so I'll take some time to invite you to dinner sometime. Slowly, even then."

The place was bothered. No one has ever heard of Diore inviting her to dinner. Muse accidentally looked at Alphilis' face for this, but at the time Alphilis had a troubled face, rather a slightly annoying look on his face. Seeing that reaction, Diore laughed funny, turning her heels and trying to get back in line. From behind it the muse spoke unexpectedly.

"Lord Diore, what the hell kind of whim is this to a peace conference?

"I'm fighting to keep the peace, shouldn't I be in a meeting?

"No, not like that,"

"And that's a joke, and this time I'm going to be invited to Arnelia to compete in the Unified Martial Arts Games. Because they want to celebrate the tournament, they really want you to compete. I haven't been to any competitions here lately, either, and I was wondering if I could do it once in a while. So I may not be much on the scene of the meeting itself. For that matter, I thought I'd keep my face on today."

The words made the scene noisy three times. Diore enters the Unified Martial Arts Games. That will undoubtedly cheer you up, and it is with the greatest honor that the knights who compete can cross swords with Diore. No. But the martial arts club must be exciting. The topic of the venue moved to the martial arts club at once, in the midst of its hustle and noise, Diore asked Alphilis.

"Will you be out, too?

"Yes, once."

"I'm interested in your prowess. I hope we win the main battle."

"No, I won't. Because I don't think I'm going to win much."

Diore replied a little sadly, as Alphilis waved his hand to the side and refused.

"Don't say that. It's been a long time since I've had a woman who can fight me on par with myself, too. You can beat the boys, but you're tired of it. Sometimes the same sex makes me want to exchange swords. Our Knights also have women, but I cannot afford to have excessive respect for me. You don't seem too hesitant about that."

"Do I look so disrespectful, me?

Diore laughed again at Alphilis, who said in a heartfelt wonder.

"You're a good joke, you are. That kind of humble language is what you say hiding your sword chi. It's unconvincing for a person to use humble words to figure out how to beat an opponent when confronted.

And when you come to dinner with me, speak to your deputy. [M] Nice to meet you. "

Not long after asking back what that meant, Diore left. The Diore glanced at the young knight who was laughing a lot earlier, and he seemed desperate to excuse himself, but he was slightly slapped in the shoulder. It seemed to be over.

Seeing their backs, Hausen gently eared to Ekla.

"They are all more than the captain of Alexandria. Some of them are division leaders."

"Huh? Are those all going to compete in competitions?

"It may be superficial, but it's excessive as a force of war. Never before has Alexandria focused so much on the competition. There may be some prospects."

"But isn't the kingdom of the Knight famous for its openness, justice and rigidity?

"Apparently so. But there is a back in every country. I don't know what Alexandria's intentions are, but you should keep them in one corner of your head. Hi. It's not going to end in a normal peace conference."

Hearing Hausen's words, Ekla felt her anxiety spread all over her chest like a black rain cloud.
