The Branded Female Fencer

"I thought I could handle it just by losing and obsessing. But the reality was different. Until now, I thought I was doing something about it because of the consideration and help of my surroundings. I was so young that I didn't know that. If you become a count's house, there will be many who will stand up to its authority. I thought it was normal for people around me to help me from birth, and I thought it was something that consumed both wealth and people. In my mind, Alpha Reese was aware of my temperament.”



"I didn't know that, I just resented her. Even the examination at that time caused injuries. I can't imagine the damage I did when I was leading a unit in a previous orc crusade. This is what you're talking about. I can't even imagine what kind of face I should have at home now. I don't even know if he's supposed to be dead, so--"

"... ghh"

"Hey, are you listening!?"

"Huh!? Sorry, I thought you were talking to yourself." But don't worry, I have someone to worry about getting in touch with. "

Guntz woke up with his nasal lantern broken. Obviously, he was asleep, but the contents seemed to be strangely in his head.

Milne lightly inflated her cheeks, but she still spoke to herself.

Are you sure you don't even know your parents' faces?

"I know your face." You had a crazy dad and a crazy mother. But I've never been blessed with rice, and I can't tell you anything human. All that happened was a shitty routine. I learned the art of living by myself. "

I see... that's a bad thing you heard.

"Don't apologize to me." But lately, I've been thinking. I wonder which one of you is the unhappiest, the one who doesn't know happiness from the start, or the one who knows happiness and loses everything. I was, and I lived with the idea that no one was more unhappy than me. But I hope I'm looking at you. I was wondering if there was anybody in my life who could just roll over like this. "

"What, are you sympathetic?"

"No, I thought it was too funny."

Gahahaha, and Guntz laughed, but Milne's expression at that time was something Guntz could not imagine. I thought it was either crying or angry, but Milne looked at Guntz with a pitiful gaze.

Guntz's laughter stops.

"What's with that face?" What are you talking about? "

... you've always been lonely, haven't you?

"Ahhn? Is there a reason?" I've led mercenaries before, and I know a lot of them. Even now with Doom and the others... "

"No, you have no sympathy for anyone's grief." It means that no matter how many people are around, you can't understand anyone's emotions. It's eternal loneliness. Nobody understands you, and nobody understands you. What's the difference between putting a wood stone around it? ”

"... ahn? Say it already, teme-mei"

Guntz raised his hips and clenched his fist. Guntz can't understand why he got angry with Milne. One day, Doom picked up an unusable idiot. There was only such a degree of awareness, but for the first time, Guntz turned his emotions to Milne.

At that time, I suddenly felt a wind in my chest. Guntz felt like he remembered the cold he had never felt before. Guntz could not understand that it aroused anger. In the first place, Gunz realized for the first time that he had never felt angry in his life, even though he was irritated.

I always gave up on the fact that life was shit, and I couldn't understand what the form of happiness was, and I knew I was going to do it. If I knew happiness, I would lose all the meaning of my life. After more than 30 years, I couldn't forgive it anymore.

I'm worried about what to do with Guntz's raised fist. Milne's expression did not change at all, but suddenly Milne poked out Guntz as a haha. With that speed and strength, I now remembered that this was the woman who had once taken in the Experion and became the Demon King.

"Teme, what are you--"

Before Guntz finished saying anything, Milne's body collapsed without strength and was covered. Inadvertently, the blood of Milne is sticking to Guntz's hand. However, it was not already red like a human being, and it had an indescribable color, whether it was green or yellow.

"... ah? What the hell?"

"I can't believe you're sheltering me. I don't think you're worth it."

What?

In front of Guntz was Layer. Guntz's face was in his head, but he didn't even know when he got here. If you look at the layers, since we started monitoring the dragon herd, its food procurement will go too smoothly, so I thought it strange to look into them, and then I noticed their presence and kept an eye on them for about half a month.

They couldn't possibly have the technology to discover a layer that was completely obliterated.

"Honestly, I could kill him anytime." But I didn't know what to do, so I left it alone. But if the dragon herd defies the black magician, I don't have to worry about you. To be honest, poisoning the water sources, or sneaking people out of a town you've collected or arranged to attack. I'd sooner kill you than kill you. "

"... is that what you're saying, that we're little fish?"

"That's what I'm going to say." If it wasn't for my connection to Aerial, I'd be silently dropping my neck without even having this conversation. Now, let me give you a choice. Do you want to teach me how to return your left arm quietly, or do you want me to take you away when I'm so chopped up that I can't move? Which one do you want? "

There were no human warmth fragments in Layer's words. I know Guntz. The one who pukes these words is the one who shouldn't get involved. There's no room for those who don't even remember the pleasure of killing others. Negotiations are futile, and so is begging for life. If they see us as enemies, kill or be killed, one in two. And in this state that is not transformed from a human state, there is no chance of winning at all.

I know that if you push Milne towards the layer, it won't be a moment, but it will make a gap. However, it was too short a time to come up with a breakthrough, and Gunz himself was surprised that he didn't want to survive to the point where he pushed through Milne.
