The Branded Female Fencer

"Where have you been, Pandora"

"... sort of."

Pandora slipped out as Aeruare prepared for the battle. The next battle is the resentful enemy Alphilis for Aeruare. I fought to the point of matchmaking once, but this is the first time I have fought in earnest, one-on-one, albeit without witchcraft.

As a magician, Aeluare admired what a blessing it was to turn against a resentful enemy despite his last battle, but he can't kill it if it's a game. However, depending on what you think, it is also a good opportunity (opportunity) to push Alphilis in front of the public.

But Pandora had admonished Aeruare, who could leak a dark laugh. Vengeance is fine, but he said not to lose sight of his true worth as a magician. Surely the best thing to accomplish was to restore lost trust in the family lineage, and I didn't intend to lose sight of that. Because of this, it was initially Pandora's advice that I thought was gloomy, but recalling that tone to my ears, Ehruare was able to prepare for a relatively calm pre-game.

Aeluare realizes that it is not beating faster than necessary, and that both the phase of the game and the countermeasures to the weapons that Alphilis is expected to use can be considered calmly. Aeluare thanked Pandora in his heart, even though he was iron-skinned, and before the battle he was going to say a word of thanks. But he could not see Pandora, and when he began to remember his anxiety, Pandora came back on foot.

Its pandora, but because of the box, nothing expressive existed, but the rapping tongue totally lurked. Normally I would always tell jokes instead of greeting them, but without even that I remain silent. Aeluare thought about keeping Pandora on, but he felt so mad that he couldn't concentrate on the game when his anxiety grew bigger that Aeluare had accidentally stopped his hand from preparing to wrap the band around the back of his hand and spoke to Pandora.

"What's the matter, Pandora, was there something unpleasant too?

"... unpleasant things, huh? I'm the lady who makes funny inquiries. What's wrong with me in the box?

"That's the stupid question. If you're not a ceremonial beast and you have an ego, there's something about your body being a box that you don't like. But I don't know what kind of problem I have with the box, but... you know, when I tried to put in something important, it was too big to get in or something?

As Pandora answered Aeruare's words, Aeruare turned her face red and turned to Hui. Pandora couldn't help but laugh when she realized it was a disguise.

"Lady, are you kidding me?

"... sorry about that bad joke"

"No, no, it's a good trend. Little silly lady thought it was too firm. That's just about it. You don't have to stink up to your face because you're in a dark faction."

"Hmm, I was born with an uninteresting personality. Where were you going more than that? Besides, how did you get home? What if someone sees you?"

Pandora couldn't even tell the truth, but she was happy with Aeruare's growth worrying about others.

"I've been familiar with you for a while now."

"A relic just like yours?

"A little different, but sort of. A lot of people are unexpectedly blending into the human world, huh?

"The Sorcery Society should have a unit to collect that kind of stuff. Well, if you're on the periphery or in the great forest to the south, it would be difficult to recover, but it's surprising that you're also in an urban area like this. Or maybe the department's lazy.

So, how did you get home?

"I had the bird carry me along the way. I complimented her on her appearance because she was a beautiful bird, but apparently she was married. It pissed me off. Well, plus they told me it was heavy, so I walked along the way."

Imagine Pandora being transported by a bird, in a bad mood, and a frightening Ehruale. But Pandora keeps talking to rap about how things are coming back.

"Even if the box is talking to a magician, it will only seem to be to the extent of the demon used, because it would seem odd to be just walking alone. When people came, they just waved boxes and walked home when they weren't popular. Is that normal?"

"... because as a magician I am also in a position to put my body outside the reason of man's world. I'm not sure what's normal, but that's what I often couldn't get thrown out of the trash."

"What, if you ask me, it seems like undercover agents are always a means to hide under the box, too. I'm sensitive to people's gaze, aren't I? And now, look."

As Pandora turned Aeluare's attention outside, the surrounding competitors watched Aeluare and Pandora. I just realized that a woman who talks to a box called Pandora stands out.

When Aeluare pressed the lid of Pandora in embarrassment, so her name was called by the person in charge.

Lord Aeruare, it's your turn.

"Okay."

When Aeruare changes his mind in an instant, he heads to the playing field. Behind that, Pandora shrunk her figure, and when she took the thread out of it, she hung it entangled in Aeluare's belt.

"Hey, do what?

"I'm worried about the woman the lady resents that much. Don't you want to watch the game up close? If they ask you, you can register it as a weapon. Anyway, lady, you're on a bareback, right?

"That's right... but don't just get in the way, okay?

"Icer"

Aeluare was considerate of the light Pandora's behavior and reply, but now it's troublesome to remove it, and I don't feel the weight, so I left it there.

And when I went out to the arena, I saw a loud cheer and an alphilis coming out of the other side. Aeluare clenched his teeth, but first he tried to ascertain what Alphilis had scored. Known for its use of diverse weapons, Alphilis uses swords, whips, hand axes, and bars, even to the best of Aeruare's knowledge. I have trained and predicted to be able to counter any of them, but the alphilis that came out had nothing in their hands.
