The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 527 ~ Abandoned Ruins Middle Layer ③ ~

Renatica couldn't even scream and drank her breath to watch what was going to happen, but immediately after that a fluttering layer descended next to her. Apparently, they shielded the beasts and dodged themselves. All I could see was the timing of a single hair, but the layers themselves looked cool.

"This will buy me a little time. I'm coming, Luna."

"Yeah, yeah."

Layer softly left the room with Lunatica, the layer was messing with the wall again at the entrance. Then the entrance and exit closed simultaneously and the light turned red.

"This won't get me out for a while. I don't have any more ideas about using them to stop Ucco, but I can't help it."

"Layer, do you know how to use it?

"I'm just following the directions. Doesn't that sound like Luna?

"Nothing."

Seeing that reaction from Renatica, Layer turned out surprised for the first time. And I started worrying about the only voice I could hear.

"I'm the only one... right, you know what? Luna, then you can't even read the displayed letters?

"Not at all"

"Yeah... I can read, you know. I mean, I'm here."

"Layer, reveal that now, anything good?

Lunatica put her finger on the layer's mouth, blocking the words.

"The key now is to survive, defeat Ucco if you need to do so, and we need to secure the means. Use your knowledge and abilities if they help. But it doesn't matter now what about you."

"But..."

"But it's not. You look very painful. It's not about thinking with that face on. Think slowly if you're alive. No?"

Released by Renatica's words, Layer reconsidered his thoughts. He nodded small and seemed to start thinking about the next thing.

"Okay, Luna's right. Now let's think about:"

"I like that."

"Then we'll secure the weapon in the warehouse next door. I may find a weapon that I can use. And one more thing to be aware of is the guy with no legs. If you find me in this, you better think I'm dead."

"No legs? How does that work?

"It's floating. If you see something like that, run away no matter what you do. Like?"

"Okay."

Layer and Lunatica were running out as they killed their footsteps toward the warehouse next door.

Meanwhile, around that time, Bradymaria and Puritanical White Fun continued their stroll elsewhere.

"Mmm, magic is still unavailable. There are very few major currents here. You'd better think you can't exercise magic outside of the stream."

"I mean, helpless?

"Not so far, but the approximate sorcery is not just about the Great Current, it's not just about the Small Current, it's about connecting the Little Current in itself to the Great Current as a trigger to name the scale of sorcery. If you try to exercise magic in the stream alone, your magic will quickly deplete. Conversely, it is impossible to exercise magic alone in the Great Current without any action."

"Well, I'm glad you had me."

Puritanical leisure took the symbol out of his nostalgia and used it as a light source. The human-shaped symbol flutters through the universe, leading them to become a source of light and illuminate the path.

"Surgery works in a different mechanism than the Great Current. Unless the magic built into the token expires, the effect will last forever."

"Uhm, that helps. But I didn't know magic would be unavailable in this way - what kind of place would it be if the Spirit didn't?"

"Do you still have respect for spirits?"

"Of course not. I don't give it extraordinary consideration, but I can't use my powers without the Spirit. Just spit at the sky but come back to yourself, and eliminate the place where you can rest your feathers even if you break the earth itself. We will not carry out such outrages. Though the worms of men who crawl through the earth may be crushed as much as they wish."

"I'm a bug too."

Bradymaria mouthed on the cheeks of puritanical leisure, which she said in a slightly grumpy manner.

"Except my husband! I no longer think of it as a bug"

"Really? Wouldn't other humans look like bugs, then?

"Somewhat better, indeed - I admit that there are Shino, Fujita, etc., but humans are still bugs. There is no difference in the idea that we should reduce the number."

"Right."

"You don't like that?

It seemed like Brady Maria had rarely been a little depressed - so I looked into her eyes to gaze at the mood for puritanical leisure. Puritanical leisure often took his gaze from the front, and stroked his head.

"I don't know. One of the humans, but certainly as many as you do, only seem dumb. Now, if you ask me which species can be competent and loved, that's not the same again. I have thought about not being able to friendship with the ghosts, but I lack constructive thinking, although I am generally more competent than human beings. I would like to speak to the first species to divide the continent in your earlier days. How humans should survive and grow."

"Do you believe in human potential?

"I want to believe, that's the truth. Sometimes people show incredible abilities if pushed. There are many things I wish I had more time to think about - a respite to grow."

"I don't think human stupidity has changed for a thousand years, do you?

"That's because you look at humans from the outside. I can't move something called change in a puppet show from the outside. Just go inside and get muddy together. That's what the Orange guy thinks he's missing."

"... Unlike that attitude and tone, my husband is very kind. Can we reveal the true meaning of this with a little more poetry and belly?

"There's no need for that. It's easier for me to think of me as an outrageous monarch -?"

At that time, the appearance of the sight illuminated by the symbol changed. The ground turned into something metallic, not dirt. Puritanical leisure treads the ground with its feet, but its feel was different from any metal I've ever known. Puritanical leisure was beginning to realize what the surrounding buildings were as he walked carefully.
