The Branded Female Fencer

"Hey, why? Why do you have such a weapon?"

"That's why I said I was understudied. Or has the exact autobiography been lost in a long history?

On Titania's left hand was a knife, and on his right hand, which should have been amputated by it, a stick was gripped. The grid was unable to cope and defeated the combination of weapons it did not envisage. I lost both arms and got one lung crushed. It is clear that life will soon run out.

But anyway, the grid was concerned about the third weapon he saw in the middle of the fight. That weapon...

"What was your weapon earlier? I've seen weapons like that, nothing. And in the first place, such a weapon is in the world."

"You don't have to talk about anything extra. Die of disease."

When Titania's left hand only moved for a moment, the grid was tearing into eight pieces. He was an unexpectedly sturdy and defensively good opponent, but not technically an enemy of Titania. But he wasn't even a lukewarm opponent enough to fight without focusing.

But I'm worried about Jake's change in his condition after taking the time to do so. Titania exhaled, looking back at Jake.

And, I notice one woman sitting beside Jake. For Titania, it was just outside the intermission, but I still didn't realize it until I got so close to it, which I couldn't help but stiffen myself up because I don't remember.

Seeing that reaction, the woman was smiling with pleasure.

"You just noticed my reaction, didn't you? Wow, it might have been worth coming just to elicit that reaction from the legendary sword emperor."

"Sure you are..."

"Bouncer Banessa. Just like you, he's a tough mercenary who's won the Unified Martial Arts Games."

Banessa pointed her curious eyes at Titania, but there was no evil or killing there. Titania was relieved that Banessa was not in a combat position. Because I don't feel like fighting and losing, but I'm definitely a stronger enemy than the earlier grid.

Besides, there's no way just a mercenary could be this good at putting out the signs. Titania stood guarded.

"What are you doing here?

"You know what I mean. In this situation, other than Arnelia asking me to wipe you out, do you think I can come here?

"So are you going to fight me"

"Then I'm holding this boy hostage."

Banessa was stroking Jake's head. There is no malice in that hand.

"This kid is bleeding out of his head. It's not a big bleed, but if you leave it alone for a moment, it could be too late. I was wondering what I was going to do because there's a lot of potential for things to change while I was fighting you. It's against fashion to let them die, except for the target. Besides, this kid, he's a very friendly boy who I've seen on security a few times. I won't sprinkle prestige, and I'll be a good knight. It's not sneaky to kill him.

So I asked you what you wanted to do, and then I figured I'd fight you. "

What do you want to do?

"So. blah blah blah. I'll ask. You like this girl?

To an unexpected question, Titania wondered if the ground swayed. It was this word that would have worked better for Titania than any surprise attack. I didn't know the intent of the question and I managed to return the answer, although I was a wolfish Titania.

"Well, you think it's - a boy who could have done very well as a human being, right? That's the youngest and only chosen as the Knights of the Temple."

"Haha, I may have found the weakness of the sword emperor. Better than I thought, you uber, huh? I'm not asking you that, I'm asking you how you see it as a man."

"As a man... he's a child..."

Titania had never had a mouth shot like this, and it was just going to get sloppy. An ambiguous reply, but Banessa thinks this reaction might be enough.

"- Well, can't you take your child from any more? Your reaction will suffice. And qualities - do you have characteristics? I don't think we should let him die here.

Okay, I've made up my mind. "

When Banessa stood up with one slap of her hand, she raised her hand and indicated her willingness to surrender. Titania is surprised by the attitude.

"What are you going to do?

"As you can see, there is no will to fight. I surrender today."

"Is that okay with mercenaries?

"I can't help but take a request I don't feel comfortable with. Money and honor aren't all I have. I have one more favor to ask you."

Titania unwittingly takes a half-step back to Banessa's thoughtful grin.
