The Branded Female Fencer

The next morning, when Mascarade woke up in her own bed, her husband was already not next door. Sleep incense planted on my husband was something that only worked for a short time, but it's still unusual for my husband to wake up faster than he does. Craftsmanship, but not serious and prestigious, a little weak in the morning. For that reason, the Mascarade mostly wakes up faster.

Mascarade caught her mind wondering if yesterday's tension had sounded, and when she woke up in a different morning hurrying herself up, her husband had already prepared breakfast for me in the kitchen.

"Morning, amil"

"... good morning, sir."

Mascarade in front of a rare sight. When Amir replied as if he was slightly shuddered, her husband gently kissed Mascarade's forehead. Mascarade's head caught up in the rare act, but her husband encouraged her to eat, so she took a seat.

"I'm with Master Fenna today, and I'm going to have a meeting with some of the missions, right? The meeting continued day after day, and I tried to prepare breakfast because I seemed tired. Was that annoying?

"No, that's not true"

Mascalade replied over breakfast. It's not like I can't cook, my husband, but I saw signs of a bad fight over whether I couldn't be clever enough for work, vegetables hung up in disguise, and scars on my fingers. Mascalade smiled at her husband's fingers like that and had a heartfelt thank you breakfast.

"You seem more tired than I thought, so that would help. It will be quite difficult to negotiate from today, so I think it's too late to return."

"Even for the Seeker, it's a few days that could shape the fate of the race. If I can't give you this much, I can't tell you that I've fulfilled my duties as your husband."

"You were thinking about that. I just want to make sure you succeed, but honestly, what do you think? Leave Arnelia, do you have any land you want to go to?

Mascalade asked her husband to play. Even then, I sometimes asked for an opinion, but only to the extent that it was not unnatural, it was minimal. I've never really referred to it, and my husband barely gives his own opinion in the first place. "I don't know," or "nothing" was the answer to the decision.

That's why I was surprised at today's answer.

"... until now I haven't said anything because I don't think my opinion should be a preconceived notion of your work - but I still don't think we can live anywhere."

"Oh, I'm not with you after all"

"It's not. Arnelia is livable. Above all, it is safe here, and the people of Arnelia are calm and well-distributed, and there is nothing to say about hygiene or convenience. Arnelia gives us asylum and work to a degree that does not undermine our pride, and she takes care not to be the subject of persecution. I am very grateful for that.

But what is most important to us seekers? I don't think that means where we live, but that we don't lose our pride and our Explorer look. I believe that if we become familiar with the forest and move away from the life of listening to the voice of the earth, it will eventually lose its roots as a nation.

I think with mountains and forests close by, we can live like seekers wherever we go. I miss mountains and woods sometimes, too. I'm most afraid to forget that. "

Mascalade was silently listening to her husband. It was the first time my husband had spoken his opinion so far. I thought he was an uninteresting man, but instead of thinking about anything, I think he's sharper than those attending the Aftermath Council.

And my husband went on.

"That's why I think you and Master Fenna are awesome. I can leave the woods and mountains and do so much for seekers in people. Amir, you are my pride. But don't you miss the woods and the mountains?

"- I am"

Mascalade lost his word when he was pointed out. Both Seeker and Sconer are formerly of the same clan. Living intimately in the woods and mountains is its essence. But Mascarade, trained as a spy, had forgotten such a feeling at last. Even though at the beginning of the training I did miss the woods and mountains.

Mascalade was flabbergasted, wondering if he had left his temper somewhere as the most important sconer. It was the significance of the battle that swayed me when I realized that I had worked my hands dirty for the future of Sconner, but at some point I wasn't even Sconner.

What did my husband think when he saw such a mascarade? I spoke to Amir, who remained stunned, as he cleaned out the dishes on the table after breakfast.

"Shouldn't it be time to hurry up your schedule? I've also been asked to fix trinkets at the Unified Martial Arts Games venue, so I have to leave home now."

"... oh, yeah. Are you heading to the venue, too?

"You were there yesterday, too, right? I thought you said you weren't listening.

"Oh, yeah, I did. Sorry, I think I was full of heads about myself"

When Mascalade managed to fix it, she got her husband's kiss again and started getting ready. My husband's words remained on his head, but only his legs were suitable for his destination.

Then join people on schedule and do business on schedule. Habits are horrible things, and there was nothing strange about Fenna's first job as an assistant, even with this much mind muscalade that wasn't here.

And as I walked behind Fenna's diagonal, Mascalade returned to me in a voice that was called unexpectedly.

"-, - mill?

"Amil!?

"Wah?

I noticed Fenna peeking in from the bottom, and Mascalade was about to get behind me. You mistook me for blustering, and Fenna was amazed at me for keeping her mouth shut.

"Ugh, amil it! Hang on, aren't you so unhappy with my stopover?

"No - speaking of which, were you stopping by Gloria"

"That's right."

Earlier, I was contacted that the first meeting in the morning had been postponed, and in floating time Fenna said she wanted to go to Gloria. Although no permission has yet been given to the Seeker, Fenna is folding with Arnelia so that the Seeker's youth can be put through Gloria. Fenna argues that the shortcut to living close to humans is to send young people to school who are still unbiased in values.

Fenna argues that it will happen as early as next year or again, packing in fine issues such as different rates of growth, prejudice, discrimination and whether or not she will not be persecuted. It is Fenna's goal that eventually the Seeker will be able to live without persecution in the human world. It's a long way to go, but Fenna convinced Orbastov and the others that everything was important to take a step forward.

Fenna herself has carried out inspections to avoid irritating Gloria, but this time she made an unexpected visit and said she wanted to see how she handled it. Fenna argues that Gloria is at a time when regular classes are not taking place, and that early mornings won't make a fuss.

One mistake is likely to be a serious problem, but Mascalade, who is suddenly close to self-defeat, had affirmed Fenna's opinion in two replies.

Fenna was uncomfortable with Amir's honest attitude, which usually has a lot of novels and objections, but she had her feet set on Gloria, just glad her opinion had passed.
