The Branded Female Fencer

"'Cause I don't care."

Are you Utie?

"I didn't want to ask you anything else.But if you're escorting Princess Rayfan and you get an offer to socialize or get close to it, are you doing it all with Lunatica or me?At first I thought I was tough, but do you know what they call me now? "

"Ah, I can imagine, but what are they saying?"

"I wonder if Alfilius, the escort's mistress, will accompany me every day.What the hell do you think I am? "

Well, that's definitely not true.

Isn't it?

"It must be your mistake to keep Rayfan company."

Alfilius nodded forcefully thinking that she had obtained consent.Line keeps drinking water calmly.

"Well, did you finally stretch Harlem to Rayfan?Even if it's not me, if you go to Rayfan's, we can get this over with. "

"I wonder why that's happening."

"What, you want Rayfan to abandon the country and treat it like Ecla?That would be as sinful as it gets. "

"Hey, get away from your story!"

Alphilis threw the cloth that was there, and the line that got it on his face became slippery.

"You, this rag..."

"It suits you, huh! Anyway, the finalists of the sky tournament will attend the night club that day, so we can't escape!I will definitely pull it out in front of Princess Rayfan! "

"It's not a trial... is Rayfan so obsessed with me?"

"Even if I'm dull, I can see it."

Alphilis taught me back to his serious face.The expression is a little painful.

"Your cheeks are red just for your match.It's like a girl staring at a knight you admire. "

"... when you stop looking like that, you can think about it."

"Let's talk about it."

"Then I'm sorry. We just recruit until our thoughts are fulfilled.Especially if it's a one-off love. "

"Isn't it just that you don't have courage?"

"Experience tells tales," he said.

Alphilis rounded his eyes to the line's words.

"Surprise. I can't believe Lieutenant Rhine said that."

"I had my first time, too.Returning to what I just said, it's the beginning of a case that led to the pursuit of the country.You didn't answer that much, did you? "

Alphilis wandered around, but from there he hesitated to open his mouth.

Now Rhine is pushing for the Alfiliate.

"How far have you looked?"

"... the youngest candidate for division chief stabbed with a sword a nobleman who had worked in the body of the Countess' fiancée."

"Nothing else came up, right?"

"Yes, I have no further information."

"The truth should only be known by a few of the people involved.I don't know anything about the military, including Dioré.Everyone who seems to have anything to do with it is dead or later killed by a mouth seal. The evidence burned down. "

"... what happened?"

Alphilis asked questions and Rhine glanced at Alphilis.The sharpness of his eyes scared him.Because Alphireese has never been so sharp on the line.

Rhine set aside for a moment and started talking.

"... I've never told anyone this before.I don't have the courage to tell you everything.Will you still listen to me? "

"Yeah, yeah, I think that's my responsibility."

"Responsibilities, you know... okay."

A little disappointing. But the line began to talk with joy.

"As you know, I was born a civilian.I don't know my father's face.My mother was a servant and a housemaid who worked in the house of the lower aristocracy.But I've never had trouble eating, and I've never felt poor but lonely.I was desperate to live.

I admired knights for a simple reason.I wanted to look at the Knights I was going to march with and make my mother feel comfortable.I thought I could make money if I was born a knight.For simple reasons, that was justice in Alexandria.I never thought of mercenaries as a way of life back then.

When I told my mother about it, my life as a knight apprentice began at the age of eight because of the lower nobility. "

You're early.

"Not in Alexandria at the time.As early as 6 years old. Some people start looking after horses when they're four.I was late.It was pretty tough, huh? I was good at reading and writing, but I didn't learn anything at all, and I didn't have a handler. I was a kid.I was given a book that I no longer needed in every house, and I picked up a book that I had thrown away.There's no one who can teach me how to practice swords, so find a time to sneak up on vigilante and noble kids.You sold a fight to the bad kids in the ghetto on purpose. "

I'm not a riot boy.

"Yeah, but I knew a lot of people because of that.I heard the bad guys' faces, and I got to know some of the noble children who were unusual.When the army walked through the territory, they snuck into the luggage and followed it.Most of them were very angry, but the experience lived later.What is really dangerous and what needs to be done.I've seen it since I was a kid.And fortunately, with my third sneak in, I was able to defeat the beast that attacked the captain from the blind spot when I was 10 years old. "

I noticed that the line ran out of water and tried to bring a replacement, but after Alphilis had aggregated the water in the atmosphere and turned it into ice, he dexteriously melted it with fire and poured it into the right temperature water.A line that is amazing at its accuracy.

"You're... clever."

"I remember living with my master because it's troublesome to go to fetch water."

"That's all I have to do, you.And in the houses of the nobles and royalties. "

Really?

"The ignorance of the world is terrifying... so I'm glad the captain was quite the aristocrat.I was eager to get a guardian and joined the army.Then there was a lot of applause.Thinking about it now, it went pretty well.Alexandria is a country that doesn't need skirmishes or beast crusades, but I've done martial arts every time.In Alexandria of meritocracy, even from civilian origins, martial arts are bound to emerge more than a certain amount.But the last push was to meet her. "

"Is that the Countess?"

The line laughed at the words.It's like laughing at yourself like you miss the old days.The way he laughed was also a way of laughing that Alfilius had never seen before.
