The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 114 - Conference Day 5, Early Morning ② -
"I guess this is my third visit. I wanted to come through, too."
"Ha, is Master Fenna a student? Why don't you get a little too old? I know you'd rather be a teacher."
"Well, you had that hand. I wonder if even instructors and temporary instructors, not just students, would accept it. If someone in the Seeker wins the bow division, you can wish for it."
"The Bow Division final was this afternoon, wasn't it? Master Fenna would have stayed in the finals, wouldn't she?
To Amir's words, Fenna raises her fingers and explains.
"Yeah, from the Seeker, it's me, Olli, His Highness Shargin. And Aerial and maybe two other people. It's like a final game for six."
"Just shooting through the target from a certain distance won't be able to compete for a day, will it? How will we fight the finals?"
"If you don't want to settle, I think it's a good idea to wish for a change of approach... and as early as in the morning, there seems to be a lot of people"
Fenna pointed out that the main entrance to Gloria was already visible, but there were numerous people there. Fenna can also detect that there are no students to observe because of their fitness.
Mascarade returned to me for the first time there. Given what happened yesterday, it's not surprising that Gloria is in a state of strictness. Mascalade was concerned that there was no need to hide what had happened from Fenna, but that something might be enlightened by the change in her expression.
When Fenna, who was intrigued, approached, there were more than 10 thinkers of the Knights of the Temple. It was a frivolous sign, but Fenna doesn't hesitate to talk to them.
"Excuse me. Fenna the Seeker, is something wrong?
Why is there a Seeker here?
"I'll take care of it. You all go in the back."
Mascalade's heart began to strike the early bell in a voice that blocked the knights staring at this one with suspicious eyes. No way, how could that voice. Mascarade saw the incredible as cold sweat began to gush out of his entire body and slowly lifted his eyes.
"You're Princess Fenna the Seeker, aren't you? We are currently taking it in, except for urgent business."
"How could you..."
I remember the feeling that my feet suddenly melted, and Mascarade's consciousness was distant. There may have been times when he was mentally cornered, but he was thrust into that emptiness that appeased him. Even Mascarade didn't even consider the possibility of fine dust.
Yes, the fact that Hamitte, who was supposed to have killed him yesterday, is alive, etc.
"... Ha!?
Mascalade woke up from a nightmare. I don't remember what a dream it was, but it was only a dream I understood that if it didn't happen right away, it would be deadly. And not long after a breath, I am reminded that reality is also another nightmare.
"Are you all right?
"Hih!?
There was a face of Hamitte in front of him when he woke up. Mascalade meditated her eyes desperately trying to wake up again, wondering if the nightmare was still going on. But there was no indication that he would ever aim, and Mascalade wondered if this was real.
Hamitte sighed a little sadly after seeing how Mascalade was doing like that.
"Oh man, I didn't know you could be frightened by the person you embraced. Did I do something?
"Hey, did you do something? Whatever you say to me."
"? Am I meeting you for the first time? I don't know what to do."
"It's a lot to be stuck with."
I was so upset when I said that. Hamitte looked sincerely strange, and Mascalade realized that there was only Hamitte and two of her own in this place. I can't think of any reason why Hamitte would lie to herself.
Mascalade asked roughly.
"Um... thank you for your intervention. Forget the words now, as you seemed to be feeling agitated by fatigue and strange dreams"
"Really? That may be the case, as fatigue also seems intense in appearance. Princess Fenna was also worried. He's behaving as planned after this, but he wants you to come after him when he's back in shape. Until you got back, you said you'd do something by yourself."
"I won't be able to do anything about it by myself... sorry, I'll have to follow you soon, so I'll be here to spare you. I'll be thanking you later, so can I peek at your name?
"My name is Hamitte, and I'm a Gloria paramedic. See you later."
Seeing Hamitte greeting him with a smile, Mascalade left the scene feeling like he had been transformed. Anyway, if I didn't leave this place, I didn't even know when to turn my eyes again.
And shortly afterwards, I was noticing a man standing in front of Mascarade.
