The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 257 - Sadness
"- No, I'm not. Only Banessa, a few of the brave Zems' companions, the Spears' sisters, and the clan who serve their fists to it, I summoned. Put them at the vanguard and put in the power of the Knights of the Temple if you can't keep them at bay.
And just in case, 'they' are waiting for me. "
"Because Jaeger hasn't moved it?
"... yeah."
Miranda's reply was starving. If you do think only of the power of war, Jaeger is a good choice. But if Jaeger was involved in this battle, that could have been the end of the battle and the damage could have spread.
What worries me then is Doom and Calamity. I know they're obsessed with Lisa, Jake, or Alphilis, and I don't know what they're going to do to that gap if Jaeger's damage widens. Jaeger assumed there would be dooms and calamities, and wanted to keep them as a reserve.
Besides, Miranda wanted to keep it in her own power, beyond discovering Titania in Arnelia. I pulled myself into what could be my garden. If you can't finish here, the foundation is determined by force, and it's a rounded surface.
And when I received the report of a young man in black, there was someone who came aboard Miranda.
"I'll get in your way."
"Bergay? What are you doing here? Well, you found it well."
Bergay, a member of the fist-serving clan, broke into Operations. I may have misjudged his eyesight a little when he hid a painting of a noble villa by magic and stepped into a place that served as a temporary operational headquarters.
The Bergay stares down at Miranda.
"It was just easier here than finding Urs"
"Urs? Oh, you were one of them."
"Where is she? We need that girl for this operation."
To the way Bergay put it, Miranda feels uncomfortable.
"When we were treating you, you weren't in a very good position to fight, were you? Even with our treatment, it'll take a few days for us to be able to stand and seven days for us to be able to fight quite well."
"That's not what I'm saying! I can only use it if I breathe. But without that girl, after defeating Titania, I can't fit in."
"... haha, I could read it. Is that Ursu?"
Miranda had guessed her intentions from Bergay's words. The Mirandas are looking into Titania. I was wondering if it would be more troublesome afterwards than when I defeated him. Of course it was just one of the hypotheses, but I was convinced in Bergay's words.
Assuming that the Great Demon King Perpergis was truly sealed inside Titania, after the Titania crusade, there could also be no denial of the possibility that Arnelia, the Holy City, would be a hell of a painting. The opinion was not even at the planning stage that Titania's crusade should be suspended for that reason, but the emergence of fist-serving clans changed the trend. If they are, I guess they have countermeasures. Then I thought we should see how to do it.
After the Titania crusade, the re-sealing of Perpergis was the most powerful hypothesis. I thought the movement of the clan that serves my fists was dull, but apparently I can't move without a Yidon named Urs. It is easy to imagine that it took a lot of luck and time just to adjust, if only enough to seal the Great Demon King. What a lack of luck to be ruined by Alphilis on the same day while getting ready so far.
If it were, Urs should have let him abstain and prepare for the evening. Was Levantine spared, or did he insult Alphilis? Either way, they misjudged.
Miranda accidentally disciplined herself for what she might laugh at, but Bergay was stuffed with one Miranda.
"How do you know that?
"Relax, you guys are investigating Titania. In the process of exploring weaknesses, hypotheses just surfaced. It's only now that I'm certain."
"Hmm, okay. So, where's Ursus?
"If you pull Urs and I into battle, we'll die - it's no use telling you guys. Honestly, I didn't know about Urs' life or death. Is that good?
"I don't mind. I'm already getting ready and breaking up. Above all, it was a battle of understanding for both himself and my father. We don't have anything to spare our lives."
"That was a stupid question - show him to Urs. You'll be in the treatment building in the Deep Green Palace."
"No, it'll be late now. Bring me here directly. If you can't walk on your own, use whatever means you want."
Miranda nodded honestly to Bergay's demands. If we can reduce our damage and make a decision against Titania, we don't want any more. But what was unexpected, whether Bergay or Miranda, was that Alphilis had already moved Ursus inside Jaeger.
Neither does Alphilis know that Ursus is needed that much again today. No one could have expected at this point that this accidental patrol, in which Miranda did not communicate the details of this operation to Alphilis, would change many fates.
