152 152. The Strongest Swordsman (1/2)

Ha, ha ...... at all, to have your arm taken away, you know.

In a deserted back street, there was Lusa Plominate.

The missing arm was burned to stop the bleeding - but the pain didn't go away, as it should. Sweating profusely, she leaned against the wall and let out a small breath.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea. Now all I have to do is go home.

It's a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

”Do you think you can go home?　Do you really think you can go home in front of me?

”......!

It was a girl's voice that reached Louisa's ears. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I've heard of it.

I'm not sure what you mean by ”why”. If you're here, what's so strange about me being here?　I'm sure you're not the only one.

”Do you know who I am, ......?

Do you know who I am? You're a witch from the Western Alliance. It's only recently that we learned that she had entered this country.

”Hmm, if you know so much, there's no need to hide ....... But you're a little late to the party, aren't you ......?　Your alliance with Haylon Stiletto of the Knights of the Holy Armor is dead. The Farmer's Empire has now lost its connection to the Kingdom, right?

”...... What Order are you connected to?

Do you think they'll tell us?

No, they won't, so we're gonna get them. You don't think you'll get away with this, do you?

With Aena's words, figures appeared around her.

On the other side of her was a girl. On top of the building, there are also two figures.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not always easy.

I'm not sure what to do.

”Of course, we will do that if necessary. If it's necessary to protect the country.

That's a good answer. ...... Except that it would be much more helpful if you could form an alliance with us.

That's not possible, witch.

...... Why?

You know why. I already don't like what you're doing. You're just like the extremists in our country who want to invade other countries. I'd like to get rid of all of you eventually, but ...... you're doing such a conspicuous thing to the ”foreign enemy” at hand. That's why I'm here. I'm not going to ask you any more questions, but if you're willing to be caught, I can guarantee your life.

I'm not sure if you're a princess or a soldier, but you're still a princess.　That's very kind of you .......
