The Branded Female Fencer

"Without an audition with the deputy director, oh, it's not going to work. It was a way to fight because you could read your opponent's sword muscle. If we fought properly, it would have been a pretty powerful enemy."

"I guess so. The opponent is young, but a regular knight. Even Alexandrian soldiers are only picked about 1 in 500, because they are the elite of the elite. Well, he's young, but I guess that's all he's been asked to do in the future.

To be honest, you're the one who can put that on your hands. The other person would have felt uncomfortable, but I wouldn't have imagined the possibility that someone who could do that would be younger than me. If you were a little older, you might have been wary and struggling the other way. "

"Yes, it was a triumph of thin ice"

"Well, if it was just a moment to win, would you? You want to go that far and hide your strengths?

Seeing the line questioning him with a rugged face, the layer pressed silence. I had never seen a layer called the tough face of the line, but apparently it pissed off the line.

The reason for this was unknown to the layer, yet the line continued.

"Lay, have you ever wanted to be widely recognized by the world for your skill?

"No, I don't"

"Is this what it looks like?

"Yes, fine dust too"

Rhine held his head to an answer that would not stare.

"Why? Honestly, with as much talent and skill as you, officers can do it anywhere in the country. It is fully possible to make a name for yourself in Jaeger and to set the stage there.

Even if you don't serve as an officer, if you raise your profile as a mercenary, more expensive requests will come in. Why wouldn't you? Isn't it human to seek a reward commensurate with your efforts? "

"With all due respect, Lieutenant. That's something I can tell the vice president. You're strong enough, but you haven't revealed all of that talent yet. Wouldn't it be more proficient for us mercenaries if you were concerned about that?

"Don't return questions with questions. What I'm asking is about you. A sword without purpose is violence. And your sword is already beyond just violence. If your sword still improves like this, I have to stop you. While I can stop it."

The line was murderous. It was the first time I had ever been turned from the line to kill for a layer, but I didn't feel strange or bad. On the contrary, I was surprised to find myself somewhere accepting.

That's when Layer was guessing. Oh, he said he likes this vice president, just like the captain. I blurted out and realized that I wanted to protect this mercenary-like mercenary who looked like a good addition and had twice as much justice and care.

Layer was smiling and answering all the time.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant, I'll wave the sword for Jaeger. I will not wave my sword for any other people."

"Can I believe you?

"I'm not a knight, but bet on this sword"

Layer vowed with a wooden sword in front of him. That may have been about meaningless shapes, but Rhine did believe that the layers weren't lying.

When the line exhaled, it gave way to the layer.

"Okay. I don't know how seriously you're going to fight the main battle, but do what you think. Except! Don't lose any more than I teach you to. Involve Jaeger's reputation"

"Of course it is. But you're not going to win much, are you? Elsia and Gayle will tear you apart."

"That's fine. But sometimes you can wave your sword in selfishness. It's less cramped. When you get bored waving your sword, it's life-threatening."

"Is the deputy director cramped?

Rhine laughed lonely at Layer's inquiry.

"Better than old times. When you get older, it's harder to wave a sword for yourself."

"Really... I was told, I just thought,"

Layers stared. Are you looking for words or is it hard to say to the line?

"I've never waved a sword for myself. I'll just think about what kind of sword it is."

"Right."

That's all I told him and Layer left, but when I saw that back, Rhine thought. I was wondering who's more like a knight than someone else is a layer just because they don't know who they are.

On the night of the second day of the meeting, there were brilliant lights around the peace conference. Meetings were held between national envoys in various places in the conference hall, or outside the conference hall, the fighters who had won the qualifying round were cupping the scene for the main battle. The losing fighters are also selling themselves in and enjoying the night opening of the Arnelia 400th Anniversary Festival, which they visited all the way.

The store even continued near the walls of Arnelia, but at night the gate was closed and the inside of Arnelia quietly returned. The silence of Arnelia was nevertheless somewhat unusual, partly due to the fact that many of the inhabitants were paying outside and enjoying themselves throughout the night.

There was someone walking through it in the dark. Entering Arnelia a short time before closing and appropriately killing time in the liquor store moves early enough to the place of destination. Brunette's hair spilled from the robe glowed in the light of the moon. The Third Princess of Romans Land, Anneclose. It is that person.
