The Branded Female Fencer

"I've got you."

"Good luck."

Whisper and Banessa raided the lair of the Leydrind family in Alexandria and returned home with three knights in charge. It was Muse, the employer, who welcomed them.

Only a limited number of people can make requests directly to Whisper. Most of the time, Almas has been asked to take steps, from which Whisper himself sorts out and takes most of the time on top of careful downchecks. In the first place, even if Whisper himself doesn't go out, he can mostly handle it with his own serving, and if he still can't, he can handle it with the top three. It's something Whisper himself hasn't remembered in the last decade, such as receiving a direct request.

Besides, there are currently only two people in the world who know Whisper's face directly. "The Great Elder", the former tightening of Almas, and only Banessa. For this reason, there was no such thing as how to make a request directly to Whisper.

I received the request because I went directly to the muse where I was based this time, but I still didn't crack Whisper's face. At the time of the return, Whisper had already returned the vote, not the main unit, but the split.

Still, whoever knew Whisper as Whisper and could have a conversation would be about Muse in the current Head of State, Whisper watched the Muse brewing tea gracefully in a somewhat uncommon way. While some knights were close to dying, I felt that I could see the nature of a muse who could make tea with just a glance at them unchanged, making my spine a little colder even in Whisper.

Before those two, Muse smiled and recommended freshly brewed tea.

"It's tea to work at night, do you want a drink?

"I don't need it. Not that I know what's in it."

"Oh? My client, I had the benefit of putting something up with you?

"Maybe he's willing to kill us with a slow-acting poison. I might have used it after this request."

"You lack the sense of a joke, you know it's not that time yet"

Vanessa sighed small, wondering if she would deny the poisoning. Whisper threw the knights he had brought to the ground unconstitutionally, staring at the muses.

"I will not be alarmed by you who are more witchy than witches. It's creepy how you found out about our base in the first place."

"Don't tell me that. A woman has one or two secrets, right?

"I think it's just a little too much. I'm a little too familiar with witchcraft, even though I wouldn't have had regular training at the Sorcery Society. Is the boulder like Aldrius' apprentice?"

"I'll leave it to your imagination."

Banessa glimpsed Whisperer as she would not be the only one who felt horrified by Muse's smile.

Whisper spoke to the muse without expression, although he was also separated.

"So, what do you do? Raydrind's knights can't crack their mouths that easy. On the contrary, if you wake up, you won't be able to self-determination."

"Well, if you think normally, you do, didn't you say earlier? More like a witch than a witch, he said. If you're a witch, there's a lot to hear."

Muse took out the utensils that were in the pan that told him so and boiled them, and arranged them on a clean cloth. I looked at the blades, the appliances, lining up there and Vanessa looked blatantly disgusted.

"You tortured me out of hand?

"You won't be able to leave it to people."

"Can you do it well?

"Well, I've rarely actually done it... even if it turns out to be a corpse, that gives me pretty useful information.

There's more to what you do than that, isn't there?

"I know. Did you get your tail broken?"

"Holy shit!?

Vanessa was surprised that we were being followed. Until now, Alexandria's intelligence forces have been famous for not even leaving a body behind, but that would mean the recovery squad has arrived.

Banessa peeks softly out the window.

"Three... five... at least seven"

"There are also four on the roof, three on the back, and a total of 14. Add 1 person to your commander-like standing position. So, good to see you, Whisper?

"Oh, I checked. Sorcery?"

"Sure. You must have the main unit near here, right? Did you check from there?

Whisper tongued at Muse's smiling point.

"It's an inedible woman. She's good as an employer, but she hates you, you."

"I feel nauseous for you, too, who only think of humans like hands and feet. Or, because you're not really human, would you?

Whisper silenced. You felt disadvantaged every time you spoke, Whisper turned his back twirling and headed outside the room.

"Intercept. If they wake up, deal with it yourself."

"It's okay, because it'll be over in about a half an hour. Oh, can you even process it after it's done?

"Just make sure the inside of the room doesn't get bloody. If you can do it too flashy, it'll take time to process it."

"Let's do it as gracefully as possible"

Without a glance at the muse that snorted so, Whisper and Banessa went out of the room. Whisper squeaks like throwing up when he goes outside.

"Something graceful and shitty about torture, you hunter (sadist)"

"... Whisper, do you want to kill them all?

"I don't mind as much as I can do. But don't be condescending about Muse. It would be bad for both of us to know we're connected."

"Copy that. But you still listen to her orders?

"... Whatever that woman is thinking, the direction she's going is consistent so far. I'll still be hired. We're the only ones who can do business, and we need strong collaborators.

Have you forgotten? We're taking the stand of the Chamber of Commerce for once. "

"Oh, you did. I forgot because they let me do whatever I wanted."

Whisper's mood was somewhat soothed when Banessa laughed dull, but it must have been an imminent opponent who was not alarmed.

When Whisper tightened his mind, he turned to the attacker's response.
