69 Dark, Part 4 - Nature

"Do you mind if I call you by your real name?

"Of course it is. Whether you're friends with your concubine or not, lifeless?

"Don't hesitate, then. Bradymaria, can I leave Doom alone?

"What do you mean?

"In case Doom asks for Miriazal as it is? You must have a personal grudge against Miriazal."

"With all that said, concubines have resentment too, lifeless"

"... you're absolutely right"

Lifeless laughs mocking herself with a face that says she's taken one. Bradymaria seems to enjoy him like that, but in the back of her eyes she keeps talking without even hiding her anger at him.

"It is true that the purpose of the concubine is the best of Miriazal. But if we can manage to do something about Doom, Miriazal will not live a thousand years. Miriazal would be more of a type of fighter with commander ability and readiness than his combat ability. Doom and the others are going to jump to their home country, right? Moreover, Miriazar is also the worst compatible opponent for Doom. There are no elements that can beat Doom. Well, that could be quite a blow. Rather, it's a question of why it's the Doom that drives us there."

"Hmm... for one, Doom has less combat experience. I have a saying that I want him to gain experience because he would have never fought an enemy of more strength than himself. It is also true that we want to have some idea of the current power of Arnelianism. The other thing is, Doom is..."

"Ho... that's an interesting fact. Did you think of that?

It's me and Annomarie.

"I see, it's still in the corner. It's going to be after Miriazal."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather not fight you, Brady Maria. You're too strong."

Lifeless posing as a surrender with both hands up. Brady Maria smiles when she sees him like that.

"I got a better joke, lifeless. What the hell was it that once defeated the Great Demon King with one stroke?

"Another old story... and if you're gonna hit one on it, it's the 'Onei' single-pitch, isn't it? If anyone can beat that one with a single hit I'd like to see it. Especially a magician like me. She's a magician, too."

"It is certainly too strong a woman (stomach) for just a human being. But you can't even lose, like what?

"... well."

"You raccoon."

We both laugh, Kukukuk. It may seem familiar at first sight, but it's actually two people who have been in hostilities in the past, and it's not a strange time to be starting to kill each other instantly if we're not gathered together this time.

"But it also makes sense what you said. I don't know if I can keep an eye on him. Euwayne, are you there?

"Jesus, Mademoiselle"

One man appeared behind Brady Maria. Even the lifeless roar unexpectedly, a beautiful man with blue hair. Lifeless remembered, but Bradymaria's men were all made up of beautiful men. Of course I know that's not all.

"Infiltrate Arnelianism with Doom and watch. But don't let yourself be impressed, okay? I don't think so first, but in the unlikely event that Doom becomes dominant... kill every one of your men. The concubine decides to sprinkle the high ground in Arnelia."

"My pleasure."

And a man who disappears without sound.

"I've never seen that face before, but is that your man? You strong enough to kill Doom?

"The butlers who serve concubines. It's not a question of being stronger than Doom again. Well, it's quite skillful. But the key is whether or not you will die for your concubine. More or less, you can have as much as you want."

"Scary woman."

"Don't let the kind of guy who shields his people to survive"

"Unfortunately, I was born with not one of my people."

"Phew, I'll tell you. By the way, why don't you take a look at Doom's battle? My concubine is interested."

"That's the same for me. Especially now I don't have a job, and I can apologize to you later. So shall we go, Mademoiselle?

"Well, you're a master of speech."

That's how the two disappear. And the junction between silence and perception inhibition disappeared, and the surrounding villages and towns would soon learn of the tragedy of this forest, but the cause remained as mysterious as Zea's.
