The Branded Female Fencer

Is it better for my body?

“Yeah, that's fine, but it looks like a visitor, doesn't it?”

Is it Whisper?

... even though I didn't confirm it, she's a good guess.

A whisper of a black cat sitting tightly on a cloth in front of a desk in Alphilees' tent. Alpha Leith recommended another chair to Whisper and sat across the desk for office use.

"I just thought it was time to come." You've been reading about the battle, right? "

"Well, the Northern Commerce Federation was a good loyalty, but I thought it was almost to the limit. The six-man collegiality wasn't a bad idea, but it's not going to work with a rotten majority." If you put your neck in it, it'll save you a lot of trouble. "

I'll pay you for your time.

“No, I don't have any financial problems, and I'm not going to do any more business at the moment.”

Why don't you tell me you're ready to go down?

Whisper's ears twitched in response to Alpha Reese's words.

"... what are you talking about?"

"Roman's Land was well armed." Not only the armor and weapons, but also the horse's armor and saddle were quite new. Almas provided it, didn't he? "

Did you think it was useless to hide it from Alpha Reese? Whisper sighed and admitted.

That's right. I didn't do anything about the Dragon Knight.

“On the other hand, until Almas provided them, the armament of Roman's Lands was incomplete. That's why it's too late to deal with the orc herd...?"

"Until then, I don't know the circumstances either." I'm a merchant, an assassin, and I'm not interested in politics. "

“A merchant can't do that unless he's familiar with politics, right? In fact, what about it? Did you provide anything other than armaments?"

"Is that the cost?"

"That's part of it."

Whisper nodded tinyly, often troubled.

"A new type of armor and sword. Arrangement of 30000 horses. And the provision of foliage, water, and food accompanying them. We also provided quite a few tents, blankets, etc. Without our help, the ground forces might not have been able to move properly."

How much for you?

"I don't have the right to answer that much."

"Hmph. Well, you'll see soon enough."

Whisper's expression seemed to be distorted by Alpha Reese's words. Fostina was somewhat frivolous, but it seemed that Alfilise had her share.

... I still don't like you. It's like you're seeing everything. "

"Thanks to all these acquaintances, I can only imagine." I have a lot of imagination. "

"Hmm, keep the congregation as alive as possible." I'm going to use the commercial city as it is, but don't burn it yet. "

“Of course, it's not that much violence.”

I don't know.

Have you finished with Whisper's errands? Then I get out of my chair and try to leave. There, Alpha Reese called out.

"Do you like cats?" You always owe that to me, don't you? "

"It's just convenient, because cats are everywhere." Even if the wildcats roam the inside of the army, they are not to blame. Dogs lack mobility, birds don't use them at night. "

I see. Doesn't it actually have a cat?

"That's something no one knows except the old man. If that's what you're good at, just think about it."

"It's not a delusion, it's an imagination."

"It's the same for both of us."

Alpha saw Whisper leave with a smile on her face, and Fostina with a strange look on her face.

And when she was completely gone, Alphilees spoke to the corner of the tent where no one was.

"Ile! There you are, come out."

Huh?

"... how do you know, Mom?"

Irmatal unraveled her concealment and came out. Even Fostina was terribly surprised because she didn't feel any signs at all. If this is the enemy, you won't know until they stab you. And even Whisper didn't understand anything.

Alpha Leith held the walking ilmatelle and sat her down on her lap.

"I know, if it's you." Even if it isn't our real daughter, there is a connection between us. But stop hiding for nothing. You know as well as I do, Lisa. Everyone will be surprised. "

I see... I see!

"Il, I think I'll have to work again soon." Can you help me again? "

Fine! Shall we manipulate the Dragons together again?

In fact, it was because of Irmatar's ability that Alpha Reese manipulated a large number of flying dragons at the same time the other day. Alpha Reese herself could manipulate a few flying dragons, but even ten of them were impossible.

But few Fai-lone rebelled against the Irmatal of the True Dragon. When she asked, many flying dragons obeyed Irmatar's orders. When Alphileus was riding the Flying Dragon, no one noticed that Irmatal was clinging to his back or pocket until the end.

And Irmatar asked Alfilise to pray.

“When will I see Willania?”

“Not yet, but we're almost there. I think I'll be going to Roman's Land Castle soon."

Are you there?

“I'm sure you're here. You're going to see Willania, aren't you?”

"Yeah. She's calling for Il." You'll need my help. "

Irmatar says with confidence. It was Alpha Reese's decision to bring Irmatar on this expedition.

Irmatar, who was bound to Willania, the fourth princess of Romanesque lands, was shocked that Irmatar was brought back to be captured within Jaeger. And Willania keeps telling her that she's calling herself because she's in danger.

I don't know what that is. Initially, I thought it was related to Kalamiti, but it seems that Alfilise, who had a conversation with Kalamiti, was not very interested in Anneclose or Willania. Also, it seems that the lineage and sigil of the dragon that they attracted are not the kind of thing Calamity manipulates to exert power.

Then what is the impending crisis in Willania? Alpha Reese decided to accompany Irmatar, including defending Anneclose. Moreover, in the country of the Flying Dragon, I thought that the accompaniment of Il Mataru, the true dragon, would provide some support. Rakia was accompanying the mercenaries, but the Irmatar had a stronger influence on the other dragons.

Il, do you still have a dangerous feeling?

"Yeah, it's not much yet... but it's always been anxious."

"Do you know that much?" If you go nearby, why don't you ask Ile if she'll play with you? ”

Yeah!

Irmatar replied with a full smile, so did Alfilise with a smile. Looking at it this way, Fostina was impressed that it only looked like a real parent or sister, but on the other hand, Fostina, who knew what Alphilees was going to do, shuddered at the horror.
