The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 330 - Continental Peace Conference Day 9, AM
"Shane Sereno hasn't passed out or anything. There was no breathing disturbance or pulse disturbance when I was passing out. I mean, fainting is acting."
"Acting... why do you need to do that?
"I don't know that"
Renatica's answer was unsatisfactory, but Ray fans recognized that it was also Renatica's goodness. It was his role to think, and Renatica just reported the facts.
"(Did you want to play the weak woman? But there's no way an arbiter so far could be a truly weak woman. You've figured that out.
I don't know which faction Lord Sailors died in the first place... it certainly wasn't in tune with Shane Sereno, and it should have been through neutrality. What are the benefits of ending a neutral human being? Neutrality is an overwhelming minority. I don't even think I can carry this later meeting in my favor by ending it. Or some kind of condition didn't fold? Will that alone extend to the murder of the envoy? Sounds like you need to look into the remaining envoys in the Principality of Prajour.
Lord Sailors is dead again, and with Lord Shane Sereno passing out, each of the marquis is starting to move. If I wanted to see how this was going, I could see why... but would it still be weak as a reason to kill) "
Ray fans' brains were starting to spin visibly, but there's someone there who knocks on the door. The beating showed that Florencia, the replacement, had arrived.
"Lunatica, it's time for a change. It's time for the game, isn't it?
"Oh, okay. Now, little princess Rayfan, let me take your turn."
"Yes."
Already Ray fans replied unwillingly, such as not here in their hearts, and Lunatica also took another mandatory turn with Florencia.
And when Renatica left the room, there was someone nearer to him.
"Would you like some water?
"Get it."
It is the layers dressed for service that have come close. When Lunatica is unable to move at the Unified Martial Arts Games, the understudy of the back job asks the layer. That's why he came to see if there were any cases that should be handed over this way.
Renatica spoke to the layer, pretending to drink a little bit of the water she had received.
"Did you hear about the murder?
"I heard that. I've already checked the bodies."
"That's fast work. So?"
"I'm pretty sure it was the sword wind. First of all, turning down human bones and flesh so beautifully cannot be a normal weapon. You'll need witchcraft, but this conference hall won't be able to use witchcraft while the peace conference is underway, will it? Besides, the form of the weapon is obstinately confirmed. When that happens, being able to do that is somewhat limited.
Plus the lingering finish on the incision. Wouldn't it be the "sword wind" and the only way to commit murder without any emotion? "
"How do you know?
"I fought a few times, and I'm sure, because I'm one of a kind"
Renatica stayed for a while and sighed at Layer's unspoiled answer. Layer's answer is convincing. But the answer of the lay who grew up not to be an assassin was too sad.
But now is not the time to say that.
"Traces, can you trace them?
"That's hard, but maybe I can attract you"
"Why?"
"He's interested in me. If Arnelia's got a guy right now, I feel like he's gonna call me for a little while if I show him a gap."
"It's dangerous"
"But I have to, right? This guy won't show up again if you do poorly, it might only be possible today if you're going to call him out"
"Why?"
Layer answered with a little stare.
"Because Jake will be able to move soon"
"Jake? Does it matter?
"Maybe. I don't know what Jake's traits are. But I'm sure it's not a good thing for the sword wind either. If Jake was in this venue, he might not have been able to move either."
"Sure?"
"No, this is an idea"
Layer's answers are full of reasoning, but now we have to rely on that intuition and reasoning. Lunatica also knows about the wind of the sword. Until now, no one has even grasped who they are, whispering to you. Because it is this layer that is closest to the identity of the sword wind that was said to be a phenomenon, an event, or a disaster.
