The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 670 ~ The 12th Night of the Continental Peace Conference ③ ~
You're here, Sayid.
Yao, Nia.
On the roof of the Mercenary Corps training ground, Saito stood alone.I thought it was raining, but it was raining soon.In the light of the starry sky and the two moons, the black fur of the sate glowed palely.
Yao was proud that the Beast would show up for tomorrow's finals, but I couldn't tell where Sayid's expression was, so I looked for Sayid.The other beasts are flourishing without sates, and as Nia pointed out, Yao has recently begun to think that they are definitely unsatisfactory people.I don't think it needs to be as complicated as humans, but something is too simple.That's why I started to feel like I was being held hostage by someone who didn't have to tell me what it was.
When Yao looked for Saito, Nia showed him where he was headed, so he followed him.In that sense, Nia, my sister, may have acquired the unique sensitivity of the Wesen as soon as possible.
Yao asks.
"Why, it's a face that doesn't float despite the finals.Is there a problem? "
"Great. First of all, Lieutenant Rhine is a strong enemy.The more I think about it, the harder I get to think about winning, the more I feel like a trap.And is it okay for us Wesen to win the human competition?Besides, how long is the dispatch period to Jaeger?I'm surprised to find myself feeling comfortable, but I think it would be a shame to issue a summoning order here. "
"It's another..."
Yao said that there was a lot of trouble, and Nia exhaled sadly, much smaller.
"It's not a big deal. First of all, Lieutenant Rhine-- Rhine is strong.The more I think about it, the more bodily abilities the Beast will outperform.Fighting straight from the front is best.If you are fighting with your feet on the ground, it will not be such a strange battle.I fall into the mud because I think about ways to win with certainty.Fighting is a five-minute fight in the first place.You don't have to think so seriously about winning or losing at the competition.Did someone say it was a festival?Enjoy the battle once in a while.
Next, because there are multiple Beast Generals participating, we are barren just to think about that.As the representative of the Beast, you just have an unrepentant fight.
Finally, perhaps, there is no limit to the dispatch period.Unless many executives die on the southern front, no one will be called in from this dispatch. "
"What do you mean?"
Nia was surprised not only by Sayid's words but also by Yao's, but Nia explained without surprise.
"Didn't you notice? Everyone here is the next generation of Grooszard cadets.More so, it's a veterinary candidate. "
"No... is that so?"
"I thought we were gathering powerful young people."
"It must be true because it seems to have been heard when Aélie drank with Lord Cerio.I thought so too, but if I can get the word from the Beast General, I can't be mistaken.I was drunk and overheard in the sake seat. "
"Yeah..."
"Oh, my God."
Yao was a little dazed, and Saito seemed impressed by the air reality that had crushed Cerio, but Nia smiled.
"Well, it's not exactly confidential.Alfilis had already noticed, and some of the people who came here would have felt it. "
"No, but... is it something that brings so many people together in a human mercenary corps?"
"Groszard has few battlefields. It is good that peace is long, but lately there have been few skirmishes in veterinarian countries as well, and it is true that there has been less combat experience.The Southern Front has always continued, but the assassination of two Beast generals may have led to a shift in policy in the upper echelons.It would be dangerous to train the next army cadet on the South Front.
Diversification of risk.It would be one way to solve the strange and unsolvable Southern front. "
"Do you think the techniques learned in the human world can be used on the southern front?"
"Maybe."
Nia talked while drinking fruit juice.
"It's a rap in a sake seat."
"Even if you want to drink it, you won't be able to drink it in this belly.Then, what you do is nature and character observation.Alcohol reveals people's nature.It is interesting to see it carefully.Alphilis and Rhine watched the mercenaries from their pulled positions after drinking a little at their drinking party. "
"Was it...?"
"That sounds like it. And I've been feeling it a little bit... Sayid, are you the son of King Ryan?"
Yao blew alcohol at the point, but Saito took Nia's words calmly.
"... why do you think so?"
"Because I thought you were the only one.The lack of a successor to Grosard has been pointed out since before I joined the army.The beast generals are all excellent, but there is no one to pull out of it, and it is only a short and long time.Roch was the most influential of them all, but I don't think so, if you ask me if I can outperform Vago with my strength.After all, there are places where Wesen can't be convinced if they don't have the strongest arms.For the two of them, it was not good enough for King Dryan.
So the army expected King Ryan to fall.King Ryan had someone to be queen, but he died of illness before his formal wedding.But there was a rumor that there had been a slaughter.I'm not sure why I couldn't get to the Queen officially when I was pregnant, but I'm sure the King was concerned that there was someone in Grooszard who had already been manipulated by a black magician.
As a result, the woman who should be queen is gone, and the child is missing.Even the species was concealed, but rumors had it in the army.It's safer that way.And Jaeger was thought to be safer than the Southern Front, which was a direct, large-scale battle - I wondered if one of these dispatches had a son.Well, maybe it's just a rumor, and if you're mistaken, that's fine.If you don't want to tell me the truth, that's fine. "
"No... that's right. I am the son of King Ryan."
Yao suddenly dropped the wooden glass he had in his hand.Saite quickly catches the glass in the air.
