The Branded Female Fencer

bout it.
She’s pretty stubborn and proud girl.」

While pondering, the two of them came up with a plan, but there was nothing they could do when they didn’t know what was the problem in the first place.

「Let’s find a place to eat first.
Alfie, do you any idea where we can go?」

「There’s coming to my mouth yet… Ahh! There’s one!」

When they arrived in Mysis, Alfiris remembered the beastman who approached her.
Alfiris decided to go and check it out.

＊＊＊

「You’re back, Albert.」

「Yes, I have returned, Miliazar-sama.」

This was Miliazar’s inn.
Miliazar is busily writing a letter.

「How it’d go?」

「You’ve been watching them with your own eyes, haven’t you?」

「To some extent, yes.
What I want to ask you is, what do you think of Alfiris? That’s what I want to know.」

「Me? Then…」

Albert asked her back, but it seemed to Miliazar that it sounded suspicious.

「Don’t be silly.
Why do you think I attached a bunch of slow-moving people to an Archfiend that you alone can defeat.
It’s because that I want to witness if you can kill Alfiris when she gets out of control.」

「I don’t know if I could have slained the Archfiend by myself.」

「Such humbleness.
The members of the investigation team are not stupid.
I’ve received their reports, and I’m sure you’ve heard at least the outline.
In fact, you received the first report from the other side as well, right? If you’re the one who took Alfiris and the others to defeat them, then you must have thought that you could manage on your own.
It is a fact that defeating the Archfiend is the top priority, no matter what.」

「That’s for sure.
I just didn’t mean for Lady Miranda to get hurt.」

Albert lowered his eyes.
Miliazar hesitated for a moment, wondering what to say to him.

「Don’t worry about it.
It is true that this was your first battle against an Archfiend.
Not everything will go well.」

「Yes.
But, that’s not good enough for me.
Besides, you don’t care about Miranda-sama, do you?」

「I’m curious about that… I’m not in a position to be concerned to the sisters.
Well, if you have any points to reflect on, make use of them next time.
But we’ll get back to it.
What do you think of Alfiris in your point of view?」

Miliazar’s eyes were sharp.
She seemed to be asking seriously.

「…If I do it now, I will not be defeated.
However, if Alfiris-dono comes to kill me with all her might, I will only be in a predicament.」

「Is that all to it?」

「It’s swords and magic, after all.
I use a little magic myself, but her magic is extraordinary.
Didn’t you seen it, Master?」

「No, it was when Alfiris released the power of the spell that her thoughts were disturbed.
I did see how she defeated it.」

「It was a triple blow of magic that Archfiend had no time to resist.
I’m not an expert magic, but I think she used a very high level of magic.」

「Hmm, well, Aldreus seals it with a spell, so I guess she’ll do that much.
So, what do you think if I were to fight Alfiris?」

Miriazar asked rather nastily.
But Albert thought about it seriously, and…

「Alfiris-dono may be stronger than you.」

「What?」

Miliazar was surprised by this reply.
Inwardly, Miliazar thought that this might be a possibility, but she was nervous when others told her that.

「What makes you think that?」

「When she twisted the Archfiend, she still didn’t seem to be at full strength.
If she goes on a rampage without thinking about her surroundings or her own future, it may be questionable whether there is anyone in the world who can stop her alone.
She might lose her life in return.」

「I can’t believe I let you tell me that much…」

「It’s not normal, especially with that killing power.
I’ve had Miliazar-sama show me her full power in the past, and though you may have more experience in combat, she may have more output.
To be honest, I felt my legs tremble at Alfiris-dono releasing the spell mark.」

「I see.」

Miliazar crossed her arms involuntarily, muttering, and began to think.

「(Why someone with that much power was left unnoticed from birth… I may need to look into this in detail.
It’s a shame, but I’ll need to meet with the head of the Church of Magic.)」

Miliazar thought of the face of the representative of the Church of Magic.
He was not a person she liked, but it was good to know that he was not an enemy of his own.
Miliazar thinks that the matter of Alfiris might develop into a problem that cannot be left unattended.
Or maybe it was already too late.

「Miliazar-sama, will she be fine being left alone?」

「What? Are you thinking it would be better to cut her down?」

「I personally don’t like it, Miliazar-sama.
But, your orders take precedence over everything else.」

「That’s what you said with such a disapproving look on your face.
I’m not giving you such an absurd order like that.
I just thought it was better to be prepared for anything.
For example, fighting Miranda and Alfiris.」

「That may be so, but…」

Miliazar grins at Albert, who obeys with his mouth but puts on a rather dissatisfied face.
Apparently, Albert also likes Alfiris.

「There’s something I need to get to before you get too excited.
Follow me.」

「As you wish.」

Miliazar walked out with Albert.
