The Branded Female Fencer

"Both of you? Aren't you coming?

"Oh, I'm not going. There's something I have to do before that."

"My seal will be lifted in time. I can't go outside now, but if I'm stuck here, some of the middle-ranking administrators will be able to do enough to trap Peregis. There's also the idea of jumping into the lower echelons and making selfdetermination. Then you'll have to fulfill your promise to Belgay before you die."

Oh, no!

Alphilis shouted closer to the scream, but Saul saw it and shook Chasca's head.

"Chaska, can you handle this?

"... that's..."

"Do something, it's an order. If you can't do it, I'll turn it off right now."

Chasca walked towards Titania and checked the unsealed seal, putting her hand against her and exercising her power. Then, Titania's bloody complexion improved, and redness also appeared on her bluish face.

Titania can't hide her surprise.

"What are you doing now?

"... I've rewound the time of the seal. This should be fine for a few years. I put most of my strength into the cup, so I can't use it anymore. This is the best I can do."

"Oh, my God, I thought we were doomed."

Titania looked surprised, but she was looking back at Belgay.

"I'm sorry, it looks like we're all set. Now I can face you, but I can also put the time aside. I don't know, I can fight from outside."

"My opinion remains unchanged. Play it right here."

"... okay. Let's be there when they're gone."

Those are the two people who are going to distance themselves from Alphilis. When we drop them off, La Fouse activates metastasis magic.

"Let's go outside the ruins."

"Titania! Come to Jaeger if you like!?

"Even inviting someone who was an enemy... is an interesting daughter. But..."

Titania smiled at Alphiris.

"It might be interesting to see your mercenary army take care of me when I find someone to serve my sword... and free myself from all the claws."

"Am I right? Travel!

"Yeah, that's enough."

And as the Alfilis disappeared, Titania laughed without hiding her smile. Titania tightens her expression when she realizes that Belgay is watching it.

"Excuse me, we're about to have a duel."

No, the sword emperor laughs too.

"She's an interesting girl. I didn't expect you to invite me on another journey after a thousand years of journeys. But am I the only one who thinks it'll be interesting to travel with her after hundreds of years?

"I agree. If someone like that had been in our family, would it have been different?

Titania nodded with a smile at Bergay's words.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"... I see. There was a legend that you were originally a laugher. [M] It's all our fault we're stupid."

"You are a fine samurai. You don't have to bear the sins of your stupid ancestors."

But...

"I should have abandoned my role, too. But I couldn't at the time. If I had thrown it all away, there would have been no sword emperor. My limitations were that I didn't have a free mind, like Alfilis. But you'll still be alive."

"It's clumsy of each other."

When Titania stopped walking, Belgay stopped a little further. Then Titania let go of the experience, and Bergay lowered his hips slightly and fisted his right hand, and his left hand pointed the soles of his palms towards Titania and stood with each other.

Titania asks Berghei a question, dressed as she is and letting go of her lethality.

"I'll ask you one thing. You could have taken my life if you were pointing at me with the blow you just fired at Uko. Why didn't you?

I can't be such a cowardly imitation.

"... really?

Belgay answered honestly to Titania, who smiled and looked a little mean.

"... I thought you looked beautiful in battle. My ideal fighter figure. It was good of you to be honored with a sword. My ancestors thought the same thing once. It's too bad to be hurt."

"... I see. I wanted to hear the words of your ancestors with flowers in my hands, preferably without a sword."

"I think so too. Everything is too late. My life was too long, and my family was just stupid."

"Is there anything left to say?

"I want you to miss the rest of the clan. They grew up not to be fools. And I'm leaning on the mercenary. She would do anything to make it worse."

"Yeah, I agree. And I understand."

At the end of Titania's words, tension and lethargy persist between the two. And when the air was filled and about to burst, each other's fists and swords were staggered once.
