The Branded Female Fencer

It's a spirit sword, isn't it?

"Precisely, a hammer." It is said to have opened Rockhire, [Hammer Breaking the Heavens and the Earth] Sharafrau. That's my real name. The captain of the 2nd Corps Athena is only a temporary figure. "

"That's right. From generation to generation, we only know the commander, each unit commander, and the second deputy commander." Sometimes as captain of Athena and while traveling the world regularly, he changes his appearance and name to protect the Tenma Knights of Friederinde from the shadows. That's Charlie Afrau, the guardian of Friedelinde's Tenma Knights. "

"I have very few memories of the past."

Velhura speaks strictly.

"I feel like it has existed since mythical times, and maybe it was made by someone else. However, my first memory is of a girl who still has only rocky skin on Rockhire's soil, and who grabbed me when the first snow fell. The girl was the last survivor of the family who lost their place after being chased by a monster. Beyond surviving, I helped her wish. And I will make a resting place for the people in this barren, snowy land. The girl who had me grew into a strong and beautiful warrior, and in response to her nobility, Tenma betrayed the monsters and signed a contract with her. Desiring a maiden who ran in the heavens, the girls gathered together one by one, and eventually opened up a land where people could live. That's the beginning of Rockhire and the Friedelinde Tenma Knights."

"The hair color that reminds me of the great snowfield of Rocky Hire, which can be both thin and blue and silver, is loved and evidenced by Rocky Hire. It seems that even in the first generation, it was that hair color. I wonder if your hair color is gradually changing? I think it was originally close to Mistona-sama's color, but lately, especially

"Speaking of which..."

Margritte pointed it out, and I was beginning to think about it. I didn't care because I didn't have the habit of looking at the mirror so carefully, but I remember someone in the unit pointed it out. But I didn't think it was that important.

Velhura continued.

"I am in a position to select the next captain-a maiden who embodies the will of Rockhire." I've been doing that for a long time, and that was the first official Lord's wish. They thought it was an emerge, but only Mistuna and I knew it. I was going to watch you grow. Tasha was related to me from a young age. I felt a strange edge when I first picked up Tasha, who was hiding in a barrel after doing something bad. Even though Mistona was still alive, it wasn't normal. Usually, after the death of a predecessor, the next righteous person is born. Only one person can wield me at any one time. ”

"Um... what does that mean?"

"I will serve as the general captain for a long time, or I will do things that have never been done before." At the very least, there's a crisis looming that needs someone who can handle me right away. That's what I think. And at the same time, Mistona's fate will be exhausted. "

Eh!?

"Like I said, there was only one person in my time." If there are two people who can wield me, it will undoubtedly be a source of contention. Depending on how I use it, it is possible to destroy the country. That's all I've got. The history of the Tenma Knights in Friedelinde is older than that of Romanesque lands. The Tenma Knights were instrumental in their founding. Their royalty speaks of my horror. So don't attack us. That's the way it is, understand. I won't tell you to convince me. "

Tasha was often dumbfounded, but his expression returned to the original earlier than expected, and became Tasha's expression when driving the Tenma. She reads the climate as sharply as she knows the rigors of the sky, always happier than anyone else when she drives a Tianma. That is her talent, which the runners of the heavens under Tasha recognize: but Tasha knoweth not the truth. Even Mistuna admitted that she couldn't drive a Tenma like Tasha.

Tasha closed her eyes and opened them slowly. The expression on his face had already vanished into fright and fear.

"2nd Squadron Captain Velfra, no, Charlafrau. What am I supposed to do?"

“You decide what you want to do. If I was the one who opened the Rock Hire, it would be the maiden who ran from generation to generation of my owners who would end it. You're free to push for what you believe in, and you're free to protect Rocky Hire.”

"The Second Corps Athena is a spear for that purpose." And it shall come to pass, when Tasha shall do that which he will do, that Shallafrau shall be in thine hand. At that time, I will lead the 2nd Corps. When the time comes, do not hesitate to wield our power. Athena will not stop marching, even if it will be scattered across the entire cavalry. ”

"Nothing - no, you're prepared for that, aren't you?"

"Yes, it's up to you how you want to use it."

Tasha exhaled heavily.

"It's heavy. It's very heavy."

"That's why I have Tenma's wings." The first Tenma was a phantom beast who understood human language, but she was more concerned about the heart of the first maiden than anything else. At least when you're on your back, it's my mission to relieve you of that responsibility. The will is still among the Tenma people. Don't hesitate, don't hesitate. If you decide, you can push forward. "

I see... I don't know yet, but when the time comes, please.

Oh, I hope that's not the time, but I don't think so.

Verfra knelt under Tasha and fulfilled her oath. Then Tasha silenced the two of them so that they would not tell anyone about it. Even Lisa didn't seem to realize what the three of them had done at that time.

Tasha still doesn't know what to do. It's just that I'm going to decide what happens to the Tenma Knights in Friederinde and what Alphilees will do then.
