The Branded Female Fencer

"Dear Miranda"

"I don't know, Alberto"

"If you are going to take the sword emperor, if you command me, I will."

Miranda waved behind Alberto's offer. In Miranda's eyes is, as always, an honest knight. I know Alberto has grown stronger. But Miranda also knows that her confidence did not support this statement. Alberto just doesn't do everything he can to bring down the Sword Emperor, not whether it's possible with Miranda's orders. Even if, as a result, I'm going to die.

But Miranda's not gonna lose Alberto here.

"All right, Alberto. You might be able to fix it, but the problem is, after I fix it. You talked about the possibility of what would happen if you took over the Sword Emperor?

"The origin of the clan that delivers the sword, is it? I did ask, is it true?"

Even Alberto reported half-heartedness, but Miranda looks at the material at hand and thinks again. I have ever had questions about the Sword Emperor. How can just humans live so long? And what is the clan that delivers the sword? And how can there be no one but Titania to use such a sword? At first, Miranda was half-hearted, as was Alberto.

But with the emergence of a fist-serving clan, the report turned to certainty. And depending on the upcoming discussion, we will also be able to approach the secrets of the Sword Emperor.

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

"Archbishop, we have brought our guests"

Let me through.

The Lord of the Voice is Maple. Maple opened the door and passed through one man who was inflexible inside. The man remained in his robe, but Miranda welcomed a stand-up guest.

"I'm sorry you called. But I didn't think soundproofing was perfect near the venue."

"I don't mind. I wanted to talk to you once if I had the chance. By the way, are you guys the only ones here?

"Yeah, it's just us. The supreme bishop isn't here either, because I'm in charge of all the crime scenes. Only the people I trust, so at least I don't mind taking my robe off anymore. There's nothing stronger than magic."

"Hmm, now excuse me"

When the man took the robe, it was Bergay, the head of the clan who served his fist. I would be close to old to see wrinkles in my face with my grey hair, but I don't even see some decay in my forged flesh. The eyes that dwell in a strong light coincide with that of the mighty one Miranda has seen.

With Maple and Alberto standing behind him, Miranda and Bergay took their seats. Maple recommended the tea to Bergay, but Bergay gently put it to the edge. Apparently, he's not willing to mouth a drink he doesn't know about. I naturally didn't put the poison in it, but it looks like a careful man. At the same time, it would mean I don't trust this one at all.

Bergay opened his mouth first as Miranda tried to catch fire.

"Well, because you called me, I don't think there's anything that can contribute to such an old bone to such a large group as Arnelianism. I want to make that clear.

Our purpose is only one, the annihilation of the Sword Emperor. I don't want to bother you. "

"To be clear, I don't hate you. But I don't admire underestimation, and it's impossible to do the sword emperor's annihilation secretly in this many eyes. That's all you understand, isn't it? If we want to do something on our own, we just need to follow the Sword Emperor individually. But you didn't have the intelligence to do it, and you came here with hope for the possibility of the Sword Emperor coming here. Didn't I?"

Bergay remained silent. Miranda understands that she can't argue.

"There was no certainty that the Sword Emperor would come here with us. I didn't have any certainty with you guys, but I had to come here. There can already be no sword emperor crusade without our cooperation. Didn't I?"

"... are you going to thank me?

Miranda also stares back at Bergay, who begins to exasperate herself. Behind us Maple and Alberto put their hands on the weapon, but Miranda took control of it.

"Yeah, that's right. I don't mean to apologize for that, but I'll let you get ahead of me. Instead, I'll seal off the perimeter for you. Don't worry, we'll fight."

"I see, are you going to turn it into a throwaway pawn"

"You don't listen well. I thought you guys were going to fight alone. Throw away the pawns and nothing. You're gonna do that from the start, right? I don't think we have enough trust to work together or show each other the trump cards. We're done with that halfway collaboration, Titania poking us. I'm sorry we fell together."

"I see, you're right"

Bergay nods. Murder has diminished more than earlier, but the alert doesn't seem to have been lifted yet.

"Then when you decide when and where to set up, I want to contact someone. Who do you want?

"I'll put in a liaison here. We'll send you to your inn later."

"Hmm, are you going to hold on to the" too? Well, fine. If you suddenly decide when and where to go, you can handle it. "

"I'm going to do that from the start. Instead, even without you, this one was meant to be set up."

"Are we done talking? Then I have a temporary relationship, so can I go home?

As Bergay put his hood back on, Miranda dashed on the earlier paperwork.

"Yeah, that would be nice. One thing I want you to tell me is what happens after you defeat Titania. I can't really say I crusaded you if you haven't worked out so many measures. Do you guys have any way out of there?

To Miranda's words, Bergay's complexion changed for the first time. It was a hard look to say why you knew so much, but you never speak of it. That is why Miranda was convinced that this report was true.
