The Branded Female Fencer

"I agree with that, but have you seen that guy's notebook? It said something amazing about Jake and the people he was involved with. Who knows what kind of friendship, where you're from, what you like and how your habits are. That much research, he's manipulating information to favor Jake, or crushing him ahead of the guy who's going to pull Jake's leg.
Even if Jake came out with all this, Gloria, then you don't have a single guy to say anything bad about Jake, do you?
"No... there was a guy in the aristocracy, including me, who said he wasn't funny about Jake until a while ago, and lately it's like you don't ask."
"Mostly it looks like Gus is turning his hand. Maybe Jake didn't want to get involved with those guys either, and he doesn't have time for that, so he needed people like Gass.
Then we need to wear something that neither Jake nor Gus have. You see? "
"... oops. That's all I know."
Rascal was nodding as the Bruns put on an arm.
"If we don't want to lose to Jake, we know we need to be ready. It's time for us to decide about the future, Bruns."
"Right... right. Do I have to decide?"
The Bruns were going to return to the country and become knights. My father and brother are military, and I vaguely thought that I would be. But when I saw Jake grow up, I started thinking about exploring his potential a little more.
I hadn't even thought about them yet that these two decisions would have a huge impact on Jake's life later.
- Within the Romansland Formation -
One of the tents co-located around King Swendle's great tent, in which Calamity was murderous while sitting. Let the surrounding guards pull too, and keep away even the ones who planted the bugs themselves. If I didn't, I could have left it to anger to kill the moment I saw someone's face. Even the worms they serve themselves turn away from the tent of Calamity. He avoided being murdered in vain by his ill mood husband.
I knew that Calamity had been hit with three Calamity splits, even if Calamity was away. I also learned fierce anger at the very fact that the split was done, but this anger is not the only one.
Calamity is free to manipulate his opponents by parasitizing his own bugs, but if he is not a compatible individual, after a certain amount of time he dies with the bugs in rejection. To some extent, I can see compatibility before parasitizing it, but sometimes the reaction varies when I try parasitizing it. If there is no abnormality after a few years, there is no compatibility problem, but only one in 100 individuals can be parasitized for more than 10 years.
All the individuals lost this time have matured for over 200 years. In terms of probability, it is a united success rate in thousands. It is very large as a loss and I can't help but be angry when I think about how long it will take to get it back.
Besides, it takes the form of losing all the powerful handkerchiefs we were bringing. There are still individuals who can move, but not enough trust to be left to fight. It is unknown whether there is any support for future activities, but in the unlikely event that a crisis looms on me and I fight back myself, I will be judged to be a calamity. I still wanted to avoid that in this peace conference.
Nevertheless, whose job is it to start and end three splits together? I didn't believe Calamity could dispose of Hamitte, the nursing instructor, but I didn't return to one of the worms, and I didn't expect this Arnelia to have that much fighting power. Calamity thought the conversation would be much different when Doom said he had once reached Miriazal lightly.
If Doom had let him do it deliberately when he invaded, Miriazar would mean more than he could have imagined. Perhaps I even wonder if Swendle, Romansland's actions, his own aims, and the purpose of the black magician are all missing.
Calamity controlled her anger and managed to put her thoughts together. I hear Silence took an unconsciousness as a result of leaving it to anger to act. My aim is to make humans suffer and kill as much as possible, but I cannot say that they have become superior to humans in appearing to lack calm.
I "stopped" humans because of it. I was desperately trying to discipline myself to be inferior to ugly people and such.
"(You need to first explore the circumstances under which the split died. We need to find out who did it. There are times when I can't completely manipulate Swendle's actions, and Titania is out at the Unified Martial Arts Games. Arnelia couldn't have missed that. Probably should move to capture or kill Titania, but we need to get out of it and finish all the tricks.
But I don't have enough pawns. I can't help it. Trying impromptu is a problem, but do I have to add more parasitic individuals... or use Mascalade again... yeah?
Calamity noticed, furthermore, that there was no longer any sign from the surroundings. The escort is moving away, but I left it as far as I could see the signs. And so do those who manipulate themselves directly. Those signs are gone in unison.
If it was going to go away one by one, you'd have noticed. What is going on that all those signs will disappear at the same time? To no avail, Calamity's wrath went deep. It has been a long time since instincts have issued alarm. There's a creepy guy out there.
Calamity spoke carefully. If you need anything, you're just in the right position to fight instantly.
"Who could be there?
"- Will you get out of my way for a second?
It was Tanuki's Beast Man who came in. At first glance, it is just a sleepy old raccoon with a protruding belly. Calamity also handed her memory to an unrecognizable face for a moment, but she quickly figured out who that was.
"No way - Gora the Five Sages?
"Ho. You're not just a human being after all, are you? Is your lord still the calamity?
I thought Calamity didn't think of it, but it was imperative and I responded calmly without putting it on my face.
"Yes - what if I was a calamity? Will you give me any useful wisdom that the Five Wise Men will come all the way to me?
"Wisdom - don't be. Speaking of wisdom, wisdom? You can ask for a favor, or you can call it blackmail."
Gora made a suggestion to Calamity, poking her jaw.
