The Magnificent Battle Records of A Former Noble Lady

A strange silence dominated the scene for a while.

"……… that we should discuss it?

It was the bandit man who broke it.

"Kill our people scattered, and now we can discuss it!? Don't joke!!

"Yikes!?

The stretched man's hand grabs the clam's hair and presses it against the floor.

"We're already way beyond what we can solve with the discussion!!

"I totally agree"

"Huh?"

Shortly after Sirtina voiced her consent to the yelling man, something poured out of the hand of the man who was grabbing the clam's hair and fell to the floor as it fell according to gravity.

"Gea" a "a"!!! Arms!! My arm YEAH!!!!

"Hih, no, ahhh……………."

Botri, and So (...) Re (...), who fell in front of Akari, was the thing that was grabbing her hair until earlier.

The moment I understand what the red pouring on me is, it gets dark in front of the clams.

"Oh no, little girl. Don't fall yet."

It was Kreutz who threw those words at the clams on the verge of losing his mind and relentlessly showered them with cold water.

If you get wet and still force the clams that are just opening their eyes to too many events to stand back for about three steps, Sirtina moves forward instead.

I let her know that the red on the slender sword she had cut off the man's hand earlier was her.

"" We're already way beyond what we can solve with our discussions. "That's true indeed. But I want you to make no mistake. It was you who created the cause of your people's murder. Even though the abduction of our protectorate was a good enough reason for us to kill you, I still gave you the option not to die. It was you who answered with a blade. And now my people have been murdered, because my husband has been murdered, because my father has been murdered, and I don't want you to stick around for nonsense."

"He said it was crap!? What do you think people's lives are!!

He thinks it's the life of someone else. My own lives and those of my associates are equally "lives I want to protect," and all of my clients' and clients' lives are "lives I have to protect," but other lives are "lives of others" for me.

"Are you really human…………?

"You think thoughts aren't human? That's rude. So listen, how many people have you guys sold so far?

"Eh?"

"My people would have sold it if I hadn't come to help, wouldn't they?

……

"Have you ever thought about what happened to those who were sold that way?

……

Sirtina laughs ridiculously at the bandits who don't answer.

"The people you've been selling are" others "to you. So you couldn't care less about what would happen to their lives? See, aren't you two very different from me?"

"Chi, uhh... no!! We like it and we don't do this!! I don't know anything. Don't tell me you like it!!!!

An angry man came towards Sirtina and slashed her.

"Do you want to repeat the same thing again…………"

A few knives flew from behind Sirtina, shrugged like a coward, and pierced the man on both legs.

"Guh!!

"Totally stupid people."

Man who groaned low and fell in. Kreutz stood before such a man with his eyes as if to see pathetic things.

"We are no match for you when you pronounce your enemies here." The fool who does not even know the difference in power from those who confront him has no choice but to live and not even die. Come on, you stupid people. This is our last chance. How many are prepared to point the blade at us?

"Wow... Wow!

The bandits skilfully escape one by one turning their back and fleeing.

The only thing left behind was the man whose leg had been hurt earlier by a knife.

"Ma, wait!! Please don't kill me! Please!!"

……

Siltina sees with no expression the man who crawls unnecessarily through the earth and begs for his life in desperate shape.

"Ha, ha, please!!! Only life!! Oh, it's the afterlife, TAMUM!!!!

"Now what do you say…"

"Chi, no!! We were, just, villagers!! Look, look, there's a village ahead called Lufhana!!! That village is filthy and people can't live there anymore!! But other villages and cities don't even accept me!! Then!!!! We need to do this!! To live!! Hey, you know what I mean!

The man desperately recruits good as he wets himself with tears and snot.

"Yep. You'll see."

Sirtina laughed at the man's words.

Smiling, it laughed ridiculously.

"To live, even if it's never right, we have to make it work. I sympathize with you for getting stuck in a situation where you have to."

"Nah, then!!

"But all I do is sympathy."

"Yeah,"

"Whether you're a bandit or a bandit or a pirate, there's no way to live. But if you want to take someone else's life or wealth to live, you have to bet the same thing yourself. The world you set foot in is that kind of place. If you want to take it, be prepared to take it. If you want to kill, be prepared to be killed. If you're going to deceive me, be prepared to deceive me."

"Ha, stop,"

"If you weren't ready for that, it wasn't the world you should have stepped into."

Flash. The fallen man never moved again.

"Why..."

……

The clams that were watching what happened until then squeak as if they were saying (every word).

"Why are you killing me? Because these people..."

"I was just a" villager, "but now I'm a" bandit. "Because he pointed the blade at us, we returned it with the same thing. As a result, we survived and they tore. That's all."

"But because..."

"Hey, Virgin, don't forget me. They're the ones who got their hands on it first. He took us and tried to sell us off. I don't have the pity to put it on them, but I gave them a choice this time. Give me a choice to live. But they kicked it and chose to die themselves. We don't have a heart wide enough to help them."

Alhardt, who was a clever imitation of sleeping while standing earlier, stood in front of the acari.

The faceless Alhardt honors the cold colour in his amber eyes and spins his words like a thrust.

"Still, if you want to proclaim that killing people is such a thing, get the strength you deserve before you say it. There is no such thing as a fool who can't even satisfactorily protect his life."

"Eh,"

I told him to throw up. Alhardt just said he was done. He turned to the outside.

"Your vomiting words (sole) sound so beautiful and correct."

Sirtina now speaks to Akali, who missed Alhardt without words.

"In fact, it must be a natural word for people living in a world that has nothing to do with strife."

Just like I was once.

But Sirtina found out.

He said there's a world where just beautiful words can't be helped.

And that's the world we are in.

Moreover,

"Your words have no heart. Empty words as if you're just reading a given dialogue. So it doesn't resonate with anyone's heart. Your act of wielding such things is just" foolishness "that doesn't even make you" hypocritical ". Don't ever do that to us again. This kingdom of Lydians is no place for such sweet words."

Can you tell me which side of the world the people who created the great cause of this country, who were just villagers who could not possibly become bandits, can now discuss and not kill?

Taking off the hood she was wearing, Sirtina breathes a glimpse of the acari still staring into the void without words.

"To protect you, we will continue to take the lives of others. And I wouldn't even say" get used to it, "but" understand. "As Al said, you can't even protect yourself satisfactorily because you're not in a position to say this to us who are protecting you instead."

Leaving behind that, like Alhardt, Kreutz and Migliane continued silently on Sirtina, who headed outside, where the sun had already begun to lean.

The three of them were just sitting in the middle of nowhere.
