The Branded Female Fencer

- Day seven of the meeting, noon -

The meeting went into a temporary break, each of them taking their seats off for lunch. In it, Miriazal and Miranda each had a very sinister face accompanied by Tsuko and Maple and remained silent in the holding room.

"... not good"

"Yeah, very bad"

At the morning meeting, Arnelia was questioned by the countries. This conference hall was attacked with full security, and the injured came out. Besides, the raiders are coming saying they haven't been caught. Arnelia could only say that she was currently tracking and waiting for results, but she didn't even have one clue. Although I can somehow imagine who they are, I haven't been able to find them in the first place, and even if I did, it was impossible to bring them to justice without proof.

Arnelia is a State governed by the rule of law. We found the killer, but we disposed of him on the spot, then nobody's convinced. Whatever it was, we needed to catch the killer.

And Miranda has an idea who the killer is.

"So, are you sure you can't find anything?

"Yeah, so far. The magic of reading the memories of the occasion also has its limits in precision. They must be turning down signs, firing in an instant and leaving the scene immediately. Not only was there an actual physical object on the scene, but it didn't even leave any memories behind.

It's just that if you're this close, you already know who it is. You won the bow division, you must be that young man. Touta, but I don't even know if it's your real name. All I know is that you're an oriental young man. I'm pretty sure he's a master hunter. "

"That kind of information is fine. If we grab the killer, the marquis will fall apart, too. Not only Shane Sereno, but Ray fans and even Muse blamed this one. But naturally, that's what I would do if I had the same position.

If we don't make progress tomorrow, we'll be in danger. "

"That's right. It's a headache. I don't want to crack any more manpower as I have to position the pilgrimage toward other threats - Mason may be the best suited for pursuit, but it may be difficult for Mason to bring him in alive."

Next to Miriazal and Miranda plugging in, Maple secretly talks to Kiko.

"Master Tsuko. It's strange, because I criticize Arnelia, who is giving a lot of aid to countries, and there's something good for the crowds too?

"Maple, you don't have to know the political rush yet - but maybe it's time to remember. There will be bridges with Jaeger, and when this meeting is over, let's teach him about political science.

All I can say now is that a person's desires are unlimited, and he gets jealousy and defamation from people just because his position is the one above him. If you're willing to stand at the top of your mouth, know that. "

"... Has Master Tsuko had any experience?

Word that came out poking his mouth, but I thought the maple had gone away since I said it. Currently, Tsuko is known to be harsh on his men and to do what can sometimes be termed cold work. There are countless stories of those who were banished for failing in their mission, those who were silently cut and abandoned. I have no choice because of the nature of the role, but I have a reputation for being too lacking in humanity, even though the modern Tsuko is very good in history.

I have no mercy, especially for what I answer. He was in a hurry after he asked himself what questions Maple had asked him, even though some of them had stopped seeing him after that.

But...

"I have experience. I set myself apart from whoever I thought was my best friend because of the crap. The loved ones also became feathers to let go. How many times have I thought if I didn't have a mouth? That may be the same for everyone, but I don't know anything but this way of life.

And if thou art willing to be a harlot, think of what harlot thou shalt be. If those who cannot think of it become children, there will always be many tragic mouthless. Keep it in your heart. "

"... yes"

Maple was in a strange mood to hear other humane answers besides thoughts. And in retrospect, this may have been the first time I've heard the humane words of Tsuko. It is a little further before Maple realizes the idea that there is no one but ourselves on this occasion.

And Miriazal and Miranda had a little discussion and rushed to the afternoon meeting to grab a snack. That's where further shocks will hit them.
