The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 162 - Conference Day 7, Early Morning ① -

Early morning at dawn. The meeting enters its seventh day and is a turning point. Also, the Unified Martial Arts Games will be the third round of this battle, and the matches will also be between those who are quite famous. As the competition progressed so far, the remaining competitors began to be known, and it was about time that a specific name appeared in the audience's mouth.

But the hustle and noise still lurked, and Aerial was meeting people this morning, a rare mist on Arnelia. Misty or windy Aerial can't be in the wrong place, but he's not as worried about them as he is about them. Aerial was showing such care that it would be more convenient for someone reading the earth.

And it was General Diore of Alexandria who showed up early in the morning at the same time as the 6: 00 clock rang far away. Aerial, the protector of the prairie, seldom drips his head, but he wears so much common sense as a courtesy of the caller. And in front of Diore, even Aerial feels hardened in front of the majesty she emits.

When he looked around, Diore urged him to make it easier on the air. Even so, it's a shade of a tree that doesn't even have a place to sit down.

There's a reason Aerial called Diore to a place like this. That also had to do with the person on the tree. When Diore glanced over the tree, he started talking.

"Did I make you wait?

"No, just now"

"Well, I'm going to know the requirements I called. You weren't convinced about the Spirit Knight."

"Yes. I'd like to ask you once now. Why do you think it's not for my Spirit Knight?"

Aerial had had the opportunity a few days earlier to ask Diore what the Spirit Knight was all about. What I asked for is Aerial, but Aerial doesn't know what the busy Diore decided to think and talk about. Was it attractive or was it just a whim? But as for Aerial, who was considering a contract with Wintier for more power, he thought Diore's story would be helpful.

But Diore often took Aerial's hand and stared into his eyes, but when he sighed, he only told him, "Don't, it's not for you," and left. The aerials left behind were often flabbergasted, and I couldn't even ask why.

But that's why I wanted to ask you today. I had no idea Wintier had said the same thing, but that wasn't aerial enough to convince me. That's why I'm bringing Wintier in today.

"Wintier"

"If you think you took me out in the morning, this is what you're talking about"

Wintier, who was sitting on a tree, comes down glistening in the wind. Wintier was taken out aerially hard in the morning, but somehow I knew why. But I thought I was responsible for what Aerial made me expect, and I went out with him.

When Diore saw Wintier, a senior spirit, he drowned his head to show his gratitude. Though the lineage used is different, respect for the Spirit remains unchanged at all.

"I'll see you first. My name is Diore-Nightroad-Brigandi, Spirit Knight of the Earth. Extremely pleasant to see.

My friend's name is Pygnom. Spirit of the earth. I'd like to say hello. "

"Don't be. It's unusual and emotional for advanced spirits to face each other. I'd love to hear it from you."

"Bye."

When Diore met lightly, the soil rose as high as his hips behind it, and a cavity appeared inside. A man appeared to be an old man walking through it.

When the man pointed his unfathomable eyes at Wintier, he named him.

"... it's a pignom"

"It's Wintier. Best regards,"

"Hmm, nothing like to say hello. The earth and the wind are incompatible. It's the courtesy of getting out that I give back, but can I go home now, Diore?"

"Don't say that, my friend. It's been a long time since I've seen you either. Can you talk to me a lot?"

Diore grinned bitterly at the unloving pignom, but when he saw the look on his face and considered it, the pignom lifted his fingers slightly, the ground rose to a moderate height, where he sat down and put his arms around him.

"It's easy to talk and nothing. I guess that means my daughter there isn't for the Spirit Knight."

"Are you saying the same thing? I want to know why."

"Well, it's easy to say why. Not a single human being, such as a spiritual knight, would do it in the first place. Even when Diore there became a Spirit Knight, I disagreed. I was disappointed that I forcefully signed the contract. Because of that, I want this body. Does Diore look happy to you?

Aerial was bewildered by the unexpected words of the pignom. But Diore has no objection either, and he listens to the words in silence.

Pignom kept talking as he asked Diore how he was doing with his eyes hidden in his long brow.
