The Branded Female Fencer

"You seem to have deceived me well. I don't feel anything like gaze anymore."

Titania had left the battle with the young man in black, hiding herself. I'm not that good at concealed shapes, but if I'm serious, it's easy enough to melt and move in the dark night. There aren't many lights around here either. I can sneak my eyes around without a problem.

And when the youth told me to calm down, there were signs of people there. Around solidifying at a certain distance from myself, it would have been under siege. Arnelia, of course, but there's no proof. Most of all, there was no wonder Arnelia moved here to kill herself, and I was wondering when she would set me up as a Titania.

But the signs were just to monitor this one, and he seemed unwilling to set it up all the time. I hated Titania better for that, but I'm thankful that she succeeded in shaking off her gaze at the same time. Inside it is Titania who thanks the young man in black.

"Did Jake take part in the plot?... No, you wouldn't be such a clever boy. But then you said Arnelia even used Jake? I don't really want to push you around, but maybe you don't care."

It is Arnelia who even uses the clan that serves his fists. From here on out, it's not something I know what I'm going to use.

As advised by the young man in black, Titania thinks it would be better to leave here once and concentrate on the tournament. As for Titania, which is hostile to the black sorcerer, I don't want to cut even more frontally here and hostile with Arnelia right now. Arnelia is also considered to have taken such a palliative means because she does not want to be exorcised from the front with herself. Perhaps the days of attending the tournament will last as if nothing had happened in the morning. However, raids may continue.

Titania concentrated her consciousness on reading the signs in order to break through the siege. It won't be as accurate as the sensors, but it can do enough to explore the gaps in the approximate enclosure net. But surprisingly, the siege net Titania felt was full of gaps.

"What do you mean... if you're going to make a point gap and lure me in, anyway, I don't know you're so full of holes. Maybe something was on Arnelia's side, too? And Shire's not coming back."

Titania felt a bad flow, but now her safety is best. The moment I took a step to prioritize escape first, I was called from behind.

"Hey, Titania"

"... is it Doom"

Don't come out between dislikes, Titania greeted Doom with a bitter look. Doom seems rather comfortable with the look on his face and the gaze of condemnation, advising Titania.

"It looks like they're under siege, but you're gonna need help, right?

"Not required. You can break through this level of siege on your own."

"Then you'll be able to make a breakthrough, but the opponent also uses magic. Is it possible to make a breakthrough, just by reading your signs, without ever encountering them? If you're going to participate in the Unified Martial Arts Games tomorrow, it wouldn't be a good idea to injure Arnelian knights, would it?

They're wearing weird armor, aren't they? I think they do physical enhancement with witchcraft, but it's troublesome inside. I think it's just hard for a sword emperor to retreat without hurting you while dealing with more than one of Arnelia's elites?

"So you think you're going to help me? So what's in it for you?

Doom answered with his hands wide open.

"No, you're one of us, aren't you? He is also a benefactor who gave me an archery. [M] Because of that, I think I've gained a lot of strength."

"I also think they told me to just keep killing you, rather than archery - but not lending you?

"You confessed to something amazing!? Well, I don't mean to."

Doom smiled and denied it, but you can't just believe Doom's words as they are. But the explanation of Doom is also good. If the signs are erased by witchcraft, there is also ample chance of bowling from the front.

Doom says he's not going to lend it, but Titania was feeling uncomfortable because she felt like she owed Doom more. Still, it is also true that I do not even think that there is more to be done than the current state of affairs Doom says.

"... okay, let's get to your suggestion. I need you to guide me safely, okay?

"Let it be, let it break through Arnelia's siege net and show!

Doom starts guiding. Then, indeed, Doom poked precisely at the blind spot of the knights of Arnelia, and when he did, he went through the siege net. It was pretty much the same path Titania assumed, but it would probably have hooked up a few times if Titania had fallen out on its own. Considering that, although it is very much true, Doom has been helpful.

And moving for a certain distance, Doom turned around and told Titania with a smile.

"Well, that'll be enough. You can handle this on your own, can't you?

"Yeah, enough."

"Then I'll go, and I still have a lot to do. Bye ~"

"Oh, wait."

But neither heard Titania's stillness, and Doom just vanished into darkness. Titania feels like a shoulder watermark, even though it's a doom that's always tangled in adhesion.

And Titania set foot, and there were those who stood before her.
