The Branded Female Fencer

"Well, I wonder what's next"

Waking up Titania, Layer and Lunatica wander the middle layers of the ruins. Titania was following him on her own, even with a blue face, but gradually began to lag behind in the footsteps of Layer and Lunatica.

The layers who saw it sigh, walking over to Titania.

"What is it? If it bothers you, you can leave me."

"There's no way that's going to happen. Excuse me."

Layer held Titania up and walked straight out. Titania's face flashes bright red.

"Hey, dude, what!?

"? This is faster"

"So if you're in the way, you tell me to leave you!

"Rejected. Bad aftertaste"

Layers who could hold Titania without a coward seemed not to be bitter either. Titania was certainly close to the limit, too, so she left it to the layers with emotions close to giving up.

More than that, maybe I was confused and didn't know what to do. Renatica had observed Titania like that sideways, but she didn't particularly share any thoughts, but walked quietly in line.

"Layer, where are we going next?

"Titania doesn't seem to have much time. Let's go straight to Ucco."

"Do you know where?

"I can't hear the battle just now, but the sensors on the ruins just started working. I know where it is.

Plus marionette beasts and macchina started moving. If we go to their gathering place, we'll find them. "

Originally guided by layers, they head straight to Ucco's place. Sometimes I saw a bunch of marionette beasts, but they weren't interested in the layers or they never attacked me just to hide themselves a little.

And they came to a room with a big line of communication moving. There were signs of plants growing there, and it seemed like another place where food was being processed. The animals seemed to have been dismantled, treated and eventually fed. There are indications that the cereals were degreased and processed sequentially. None of them were just moving now, they were already decaying.

"What is this place?

"I guess it's a manufacturing plant. The instrument itself would work, but there would be nothing we could do without the raw materials. Once upon a time, large quantities of livestock or plants might have been grown"

"I mean, you said you were automatically producing food?

"Probably."

Layers affirmed Titania's reasoning. The layer scratches open the box in the middle of the instrument.

"What's that?

"You must have saved it in many ways. This is a preserved meal. I just can't eat anymore, but if I save it in the right way, it'll hold up for a few years."

"Years? With that kind of technology, no more starving countries, right?

"That's how technical I was, I'm sure. On the contrary, perhaps weather and climate manipulation, cultivation into large quantities of livestock and even plant cultivation, should have been completely controlled.

Maybe even human life or death. "

"Is that - can you say happy?

"What do you think? Maybe he's happy, but maybe he didn't feel very happy or thankful."

Is it me who feels "distorted - distorted?

The two did not answer Titania's question, but instead their vision contained the light of battle. The less it is, the more the battle sounds.

Renatica tried to get close and was stopped by a layer.

"You better, Luna. If we come any closer, we'll be in Ucco's enemy range."

"At this distance? It looks like there are still more than 3,000 steps. And it's dim."

"The other person is not normal. One eye glanced at this one. It's not as good as it sounds yet, but it's already been seen. If we get any closer, we'll be considered enemies."

"Did you see the movement of Ucco's eyes? I think there's something wrong with that."

To Titania's point, Layer laughed t.

"Yes, I understand what's wrong with you. Even from here, the battle between Hansvl and Ucco looks like it's in front of us. You had marionette beasts all around you, but you seem to have been wrapped up in battle and destroyed.

Hansvl is amazing. They're crossing each other with Ucco. "

"Oh, my God. That's the only way I hope you're quitting on humans already."

"No - you can because it's the last glow of life left behind. I don't have any more. When Hansvl falls, Ucco will start moving. I'd love to poke a gap in that moment if I could, but... it's not going to work."

"Luna, I left Titania to you. Hide."

Levantine had the layers in his hands, not Tilfing and Shempez. Seeing that look tighter than ever, Renatica was silently taking over Titania.
