The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 652 - Night of the 11th Day of the Continental Peace Conference (3)
"Ah, are you still drinking... anyway, Grooszard is also in a time of change.I was talking about how many beast generals are around... and King Ryan told me about it and thought I might be able to help.I owe a favor to the king.I want to do what I have to do before my body moves satisfactorily. "
"Heh, I thought you were a scary beast, but it's pretty hot."
"Is that why you imitate a detective?
Cerio's reddish face woke up suddenly to Aerial's sudden allegations.The expression that was about to become steep in an instant also reverted and calmed down.
"... what's going on?I'm a spy?
"I'm not good at lying either, but I'm not good at stealing beasts.Don't be upset with that level of accusation. "
"This beast is a spy?Yeah, what am I gonna do?You gonna snitch on me?
"You too, Banessa.Isn't Almas the best?
The laughter disappeared from Banessa's face in Aerial's words.The hustle and bustle of the tavern remained as if the sound of the seat had just disappeared.
"You..."
"Well, don't be a killer.The sound of this seat is cut off so as not to leak.Thanks for coming back from the ruins.I can hear the Spirit's voice better than before.Magic can be handled easily, and spirits come near to murmur rumors even if you don't want to hear them.It stands out when you sneak in, and if you have someone you don't know, you can tell me. "
Just sitting quietly tilting the cup from the air reality, Banessa and Cerio turned back, feeling sad.Cerio asked Aerial what was going on, but as soon as Banessa sat down and incited the wine.
"So, what are you going to do?If I was Almas' best friend, would you negotiate anything?Or would you ask me to kill someone?It's not free, but if it's cheap, I can ask you about it once. "
"Hey, are you sure Armus is the best?
"What if it is?I wasn't originally told to keep it a secret, and if I don't have many requests, I just don't know who they are because I've definitely killed them.Only the identity of Whisper and the presence of the elders are really important to Almas.A numbered token, after all.If I am judged unnecessary, I will be cut eventually.I was going to retire in a few more years before I lost my ability and got kicked out. "
"What, is that possible?
"Whisper really likes it.And that's what I offered you in exchange for joining Armas.I don't know about the elders of the top decision-makers, I don't know about Armus' distribution channels or suppliers, and I don't want to know.I asked Whisper not to tell me if he knew about it because it was unlikely to get out.That's why you can lose your legs. "
"You're a smart woman.I hope that's the kind of judgment we can make for the Wesen. "
Cerio praised him purely, but Banessa kept quiet that she knew who Whisper was.I have seen Whisper's main unit, but there is only one person other than the elder, and I couldn't say that.Whisper will be able to monitor me if I retire anyway, but I think Banessa will be okay with that.I didn't want to disturb the peace after retirement, but now that my mother is dead, I feel that even that obsession is gradually fading.
But it was also creepy for Banesa to stare at them quietly.I feel the same way about my Aerial opponents in gambling, but I can't read the purpose of Aerial at all.
Air Real quietly told both of them.
"I won't do anything just because I knew otherwise.Intelligence fights and so on, in any country or group.That's what we do, and we have operations and requests that are made possible by the presence of an excellent sensor called Lisa.
But you two might feel it, but there's one guy you can't miss, right?Someone with disturbing winds beside him. "
Vanessa was convinced by Aerial's words.
"Ah, is that him?Well, maybe me and Cerio would be appropriate if we talked about it. "
"Hey, I'm not sure.
"Then guess who Air Real is talking about."
"... uh, the sword wind next to Shane Sereno?
"Correct."
"That's right."
Air Real and Banessa responded simultaneously, so Cerio exhaled.
I knew it wasn't my fault.
"Were you looking into the sword wind?
"No, it happens.You were investigating the murder of two Beast generals on the Southern Front one day.I was wondering if it might be possible. "
"The two beast generals... died together?
"Ah, I hit a critical point from the front.Vanessa, can you do this?
Banessa shook her neck to the side.
"I can't. I don't think so, even number two or number three. No one in Almas can do that.Whisper won't be able to do it. "
"Well... within Grooszard, the theory that Armus did it was powerful, but I didn't think so.It was just intuition, without foundation, but I decided to move on a different line from General Roch.It's a shame I met you here. "
"Maybe I'm lying.
"No, I suspected the sword wind from the beginning.And I saw how you fought, and I realized it was based on one-on-one from the front rather than assassination.Neither I nor General Roch are holes. "
"I can't wait to be complimented."
Banesa shook her body bewildered, but Cerio remained unresponsive.
