Chapter 89: Arden, the Renowned Household of Swordsmanship (1)
Cv2Nothing big happened after the final exam until the start of the holiday.7f9
39T4qThe only thing related to the main scenario in the 2nd semester of the 1st year was the festival and a few small quests from the mission board.ck7
3qrEJSAA few of those missions were in correlation with my Precepts so I cleared those and focused on training. In the end, I couldn’t reenact the Demonic Aura release and Sebancia Duke’s demonic sword but… Regarding that, there was no choice but to meet the old man from the east and ask for some advice.fryny
qBR– Knock knock!Ln6
BreF2sx“Senior. I’m here.”R0rVfA
DjQMarie had told me to come to her room on the day before the end-of-the-term ceremony so I went and knocked on her door. It was right after dinner so it shouldn’t be discourteous of me to visit her room.LBXoBAr
vNdc“Come in.”zB4
TyrI opened the door after receiving her permission and walked inside. The girl wearing casual clothes handed me a small golden board with an engraving of a potato flower as soon as I walked into the room.5nyC
DUShRHM“This… is the emblem of your family, isn’t it?”mnPB
FY4aZ7“Yes.”f9Wuca
5Dl9bI had seen the emblem of the Dunareff family a bunch of times during the summer holiday so I immediately recognized what they were.gkoJtK
7466ek“We are… still a duke, so as long as you have this board, you should be able to ask almost anyone for cooperation.”WsqQ35
2y5“…That is a very valuable item then.”dmdGJ
VvAunQgThe emblem of a noble was the symbol of the household and its power. It was pretty much a license saying that I was under the protection of the dukedom that reigned over the south of the country.DxmKa
P7dt276In the last iteration, I had received an emblem of the royal family so I knew just how powerful these were more than anyone else.RcER
D3CFGjPThese didn’t exist in the game, and players had to follow the right procedure for every quest. If the Quest NPC went, ‘Good sir! Please harvest some of the crops we are growing in our front yard!’ then the player had to crouch down and harvest them regardless of whether they were a hero or not but…fXPBM
lF8AIn the real world, it was possible to use power and authority to say, ‘Shut up! Just give me the information I need!’ and press them on.XSVS
CEejl“Is it okay to give something this precious to anyone?”dym1
JS7“You’re not ‘anyone’, Korin.”Ri8KdxA
vqAhMShe said while placing the board firmly in my grip.q2VjoAo
GmUzki“Korin, you are the benefactor of our family. You really need to think through on who exactly it is that you have saved.”pw7YlN
dipnQ1“Of course. I did save the imperial princess of the Potato Empire after all, right?”Bgf
4K5NbIQ“You’re teasing me again! At least treat me like a princess if you are going to say that all the time!”aJG
qcNrMarie said with a big pout as if she was upset but when I tapped her back with a smile, she quickly returned to her original expression.c35
KHe“You’re going straight after the holiday ceremony tomorrow, right?”thYc
fGA“Yeah. You’re going back home as well, right Senior?”BfBUT
uSoJKGBecause Marie was the oldest daughter of that Dunareff family, she had to return home and show her face every holiday. From what I heard, it seemed that there was a winter festival that was hosted by the Dunareff which she couldn’t miss as the successor of the household.lzmM
WVZiV“I, I will quickly go after you! Go and wait for me there!”k7lV6
HSiq“Sure and thanks for your help. As I’ve said before… there might be some dangerous people coming there as well so I really need your help.”7a1
9yc“Yep yep…! I will definitely go and help you, Korin!”1zpdh
oujSince Park Sihu, the player, wasn’t here, the strongest powerhouses of our group were Marie and Hua Ran. I hoped they could make it there before the Solar Eclipse.h4QKA
x1d“Don’t hurt yourself! Don’t forget to take the bag of potatoes that I gave you! And don’t follow strange women even if they lure you with potatoes!!”C0S
gZbW“Am I a kid?”6e1NRzF
VDGIt was just going to be a slight farewell during the holiday and yet she was being way too serious about it.s5xSY33
dJFI“I’ll go back to my room then.”sy4mP
Vz0Pl21“K, Korin…”JoQD0
4enKsvEI was about to turn around and leave the room but that was when she held onto my sleeves. Her skin which was as white as white jade was flushed in red – it was something we were both very used to.2ff0KG
O7tdIJK“B, before you go, one last time…”YAHwwj
YsTUw“Don’t hold back and suck as much as you want. You would have to live on blood packs for a long time.”pWomJm
fm17Fur“Nn… Thank you.”0734aqE
UacTOn the day before my departure, I left Marie’s room right before the dates changed.mMGbn

Yna…4bfKO
ClFimpReturning back to my room, I washed myself and was about to go to sleep.01Ez54Q
6IVp4p– Knock knock!lK5e9
QxIh8qLRight as I was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the door. I had just gone to Marie’s room so it could only be one person but… why?FOE9KCI
0wXuqUd“Coming.”7GiPY
Pso9KOyI opened the door and as expected, outside the room was Hua Ran in her pajamas. It was late at night in the special dormitory. Even though there was no rule stating that you couldn’t go to the room of a different gendered person at night, it was still common sense was it not?TVAR
IexQVWell, I guess there was nothing I could say as someone who had been in Marie’s room for a very long time.Ogbw
rrXvQ“Come…”iw93f
z45IBefore I could even tell her to come in, Hua Ran walked forward in large strides and did something strange.q93g3vG
phWPShe suddenly laid herself down on my bed.Fl5lNim
4lUE3V“I’m sleeping here.”YPND0
cw9o1Z“How could a lady in her marriageable age…”red4Oo
PLNThe east should have a Confucian doctrine though… A boy and a girl shouldn’t sleep in the same room after turning 7; have you never heard of that?rcxR
VtwO“Not going to sleep?”LwHm8MI
cj5ZR“You think I would?”ffNeO05
lobbvG“Why?”Nf9Q9n
zhc9Hua Ran asked while looking at me with blinking eyes. She was already under the blanket.XP6I
DvO2Yu“Umm… You see? Society has come to a common agreement that it’s a little weird for a grown-up male and female to sleep in the same room.”v2WgXe
4gNf“I don’t know about that. And we slept together before.”k9sypTP
fyx0gMdLook at this lady. Excuse me! Others are going to misunderstand if they hear that.cgG
idsndThWe did spend the night together, but that was in an emergency situation where we had to hide from the rain. That wasn’t anything normal.gjzer
hL9gBut in any case, she had a memory of spending the night with me, and seemed unable to understand why there was something wrong with doing the same thing again.E36ONP
KNptt“Okay. Fine…”OlX
n4CI was a bit scared of what would happen if Lady Josephine was to find out about this later on but… there was nothing I could do when she wanted to sleep together. It should be okay as long as we didn’t get busted.7ks4r
xS22YRpEver since the festival, Hua also became a lot more open just like Ran. Shouldn’t she be the one with a more Confucian mindset?p8nbH
2mni2“Huu…”9fwGM
UZnsI took off my gown to go to sleep. It was then.wiKr
z1V– Slam!ZGR02JV
6FgEA pillow flew towards me. Of course, that was the only pillow I had on my bed.dr7
MQHNEM“Why… are you taking your clothes off?”ldGTG
nNaoei“…I usually take my clothes off when going to sleep.”1DQ
GzWSct1– Kung!oMgA
MRAcY“Ahkk…!”AZeYvsK
LFjBsA shapeless burst of demonic aura struck my chest. This girl… she learned how to shoot aura from a distance!7Hv
zwXcWell, considering her strength, she probably could have done the same thing by putting a little bit of strength into her punch.AtblDPD
yzclGk“That was a joke but I can’t sleep in a gown can I? I have my pajamas as well!”IHKNW
KAU“…Turn around and change.”3GW
Minv“Okay… wait what?”kFt
RdUWhat was this about? I’m the one changing so why do I have to turn around? Shouldn’t she be the one turning around?oISKFQS
yuKlmNPI turned back to her for an obvious complaint but was met with another shapeless ball of aura.Gi8ys
Zg8“…My fault for being weak.”M8yoO2h
qVbu3XpI was already in my pants anyway, so I quickly took out a T-shirt and put it on.diU
Cg5p“Move to the side will you.”BRZKKqI
0LUWhat was fortunate was that it was a double bed. Back when I was going to college on Earth, all my beds were single or bunk beds so they had been tiny but I didn’t have to worry about that now.TXo7
Gz1yIn any case, I pushed her to the side and laid down on the bed. But of course, there was only one pillow and one blanket in my room.jpt0
pKZR“…”PpJ7jia
xnrQsyXTurning her body towards me, Hua Ran silently looked at my face. A stubborn ray of moonlight seeped through the curtains and her red eyes sparkled under it like rubies.f78C
5n3“What’s wrong?”iCpEMDd
0pV“Pillow.”iepAAZn
3TiDdShe returned the pillow that I gave her after picking it back up from the floor.bBVXulK
dkG7x8“This is your room.”0uI
nfIc…I couldn’t understand her standards of respect.8Iu
8LtRChb“It’s okay, don’t worry about it. I don’t need a pillow to sleep.”XbquQm
DBAe“No.”cH97X
QNPehP“Isn’t this my room?”3qT
wilI8Why was she refusing my offer after acknowledging that this was my room?FGdK8y
IunfMpJ“Just use it.”z7ro1
VTf“No.”Z4sR
afq“Alright. I’ll take one for the team then.”CHeNn
ebGT80Resting my head on the pillow, I stretched out my right arm.dbu
SHILyA“It’ll just be a little numb tomorrow morning. Use this as your pillow.”ybqK
ZaqvHFZ“Okay.”OYB
WCvXThis time, Hua Ran rested her head on my arm without turning me down.8vPFx
qBKv“It’s stiff.”DUsdr
Acus1“You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.”jcF5
ky5yb“That’s not what I mean.”pgI
MNTI had no idea what I had to do to please her. Maybe I had to buy another pillow or something… wait, couldn’t she just bring a pillow from her room?6MOGocJ
J2O1Y9“Are you… leaving straight away tomorrow?”WkngL8
xx9fI“Yeah.”Z0v6qG
dguAO0r“I… am going to Zeon.”3DBGL10
dnMLeq“I know. You have to meet the Saintess right?”FPjYw
3De0uWHua Ran also had something to do.koqf
q7hEvery holiday, she had to return to the Great Chapel of Zeon that was located in the west to meet the Saintess. It was partially to reinforce the restriction cast on her, but it was also for an attentive test of her mental stability.7GHRE
PpeWell, since it was that princess, she wouldn’t do anything bad to Hua Ran.tII3
8gk3UI remembered them being kidnapped whenever they were too careless, and wondered if that was still the same. The fight between those siblings was a bit extreme after all.Qh2
ZCl“I’ll be waiting for you there, and don’t forget to eat your meals in time and listen to your elders.”W519
TMnLGT“Okay. Ran… asked you to think about her even when you’re away.”Jb4
7pJJP8o“…I would have no choice but to.”1Er2YT
F510bRan had the ability to make other people’s hearts beat fast in a way that differed from Hua.lzrZ
V7Q“Is Ran not going to say goodbye? I thought she would jump out and say a few things though.”f64G
I14“…Because Ran was up all morning.”7MZHK
Dfj3Today was the last day of the final exam so that made sense. Ran was sitting the tests huh? Wasn’t this… cheating?rVk4
wgjtI was wondering if that was okay but that was when she turned her head towards me with her head still resting on my arm. Her soft cheek was pushed in by my wrist and made her look chubby yet cute.NZD0N
6Zg9XWZ“Don’t hurt yourself.”XqYe
mh3y“Hoh. Are you worried about me?”Lr7yz
RZF6S5Hearing my prankish question, she looked back at me with a sad look in her eyes. Ever since the festival, she had been very sensitive about me getting injured.1z1
XYyIt seemed that seeing me in tatters wasn’t a very good experience.JIZA
TETdOpb“My heart stings when I see you injured.”i0e
3nvwnq“…”M47
Tu2pvShe appeared to be blaming herself for the thing that happened that day. Because of that sense of guilt, these days she was very concerned and worried about me despite being cold as always.9subk2
M6LSxO8Despite others calling her a jiangshi and a demonic beast, she was still a very kind girl at heart and seeing changes like that made me feel proud for protecting her.C3eB
Xr1PF“You… will probably continue to fight. Just like how you did for me.”jJ1nNTT
YPE8aA sense of duty flickered in her eyes. I wasn’t sure if that stemmed from the desire to repay her debt or from a different emotion but…Ek5V
HDq“I will protect you. So please don’t get hurt as much.”IXU
Umo3Regardless, I could feel her sincerity and that was a very commendable sight so I stroked her cheek and gave her a smile.LjfcQ3U
m3u8flX“Thank you. Thanks to you, I now have the power to try harder.”dRlXK
9rt“Wait for me. I’ll make it quick.”qBXxouN
P7D7kw“Alrighty. You will be of massive help when you come.”4040
4AakAfter that, we chatted until late at night. Sometimes, she even conveyed the words of Ran.TpZXgg
Jq8– Huu, huu…CtWW5Aj
mxZwn6DClosing my eyes, I whispered to Hua Ran who buried her head into my chest in her sleep like a kitten that found a warm place to rest in the middle of winter.NEFZ
IMpia“Good night.”8E8
fyWbyThe right side of my body felt extremely warm to the point that it was even hot but… well, it was a more pleasant night than usual.Y6Q
WpXxrHh****ZFgwXYb
HogyThe group heading east this time around was composed of 3 people.SKQpLOA
nV77kHFirst off was Alicia and me. Alicia was the successor candidate of the Arden family, the renowned household of swordsmanship that was in charge of the east all the way to the borders, so she was a must-bring.dOTRER0
CRwpAlthough her position inside her family wasn’t very stable, it still meant that I might be able to rely on Arden’s forces when push came to shove.Kdq
MZGkXThe other member of the group was Yuel, who would be guiding us to the secret land of the druids, ‘Findias’.lGGgfw
Rt7xI had requested her to look for Findias and Uzkias last holiday, and she was the only one that could guide us to those lands as the only one that had the blessing of spirits.TIScNOS
CRaWe had to cross the borders and it would be very rough without her help.Uwng
Bsnn9“You’re very early Mr. Korin.”5oE8i
wZR1We had promised to meet at the wyvern dock after each taking care of what we had to do. I was the first to arrive and following that was Alicia.jF4
wFOTFo“Is Ms. Yuel not here yet?”gRYfFq
wL4lc“She said she’ll drop by the library. It shouldn’t take too long so I guess we can wait at a cafe.”uRP
3bh2qC“Okay~.”opkTO
LWFtrHeading to one of the nearby cafes, we walked up to the terrace on the second floor which had a brilliant view of the village for a cup of coffee.dKK
aPPYFh7“Here you go, Mr. Korin. It’s today’s newspaper.”JxI2S
JgC“Ohh, thanks.”5uBe
f7PoI started reading the newspaper, looking for anything noteworthy.KdGEMXE
LXbGJc“Hmm…”aMHh1LS
lgWvvThe first thing entering my eyes was the main article and a massive headline on the first page of the paper.h7Ra
KO5YyAG“Alicia. Isn’t this you?”0PhT
3Duzx“Huah?”rog
amBOxgAlicia, who had been munching through a cake after handing me the newspaper, raised her head and asked with a mumble.dIVco
3fuP1E7“Which one?”aVHX
WBnm“This here.”InTX8T
RGJ4f『Sword Emperor Garrand! Leaving the 5th Sword Squad to his granddaughter…!
An ever-so-fierce competition between the successor candidates of the Arden Family!!』19BoNLK
nDzlx“T, this is my first time hearing this though?”kwfH
x2iEYn“It was pretty much set in stone already.”PdMNkc7
tRMPAfter the Sword Challenge with Lunia, Alicia’s position in the household had become firmer than ever before.hCu
wyHHtDuFor the Ardens, strength was justice. As the one who enacted the greatest ability of their lifetime pursuit, ‘Domain Severance’, Alicia couldn’t avoid becoming a powerful successor candidate.kVMOVRy
r5ZwuN“I guess you won’t be treated as a nobody anymore.”iND0
pfn“…I guess not.”umaDl
fo93As if she wasn’t that happy about it, Alicia cut her cake with a bitter expression on her face.KdQpn
MVQ………kYM6
91cpfjn……BiG
Ccbr1HA…LQF4
b4NYuel arrived right when I was pretty much done with the newspaper.HAP4Z
UK4GDVwWe called her as loudly as we could from the terrace, and she soon climbed the stairs to our table.SFdJbB
BnTyyWh“Do you want any drinks?” I asked her.pKeWeqj
GwyApkV“Water is fine.”KxBUM1
Jg1va“Excuse me. Can you get us a green tea frappuccino please?”vp2L
zabHor“…Well, I can have that too.”vF7Sxbj
mcDjhAfter having a short morning tea break, I asked the two of them just in case before departing.ChLM
a9Gt3oZ“Did you guys all bring your cold-resistant equipment and belongings?”eAM7
9ZtyV6“Yep! Look! I have a coat here with food as well as a bag with a bunch of clothes!”2qZtqDe
Pk6zDBAlicia was carrying a jam-packed bag like an adventurer character that came out in cartoons.odnR
fxa“What about you, Yuel? Doesn’t look like you have much with you.”6IeC19
qAq“Nature is already like a shield to me, after all.”jYQMRXn
30yflf“Huu… You guys. You’re showing off your newbieness too much.”8ZT
x8rS“Sorry?”SQP4
kC930“What do you mean by that?”wWLKFQ
IjXGGy“We are going to be getting on a wyvern to head straight to the east. Do you know what this means?”LQ5Wpr
22DFWnH– ???BWg
QWBThey really seemed clueless but that was understandable, because it was one of the common newbie mistakes.FI8K
tJLCr“Do you think you can ride a wyvern 1 km above ground with a single coat and bare eyes?”JdMhkVz
Sy8I4“Ah…”BOhL4J
BifZr“…I see.”g4oy8Qc
xTHSIt would become tremendously cold at a higher altitude and the violent gust would make it impossible to open your eyes. Regardless of the season, it was necessary to wrap yourself with cold-resistant clothing and goggles.EVy1
y2dQq“Here it would be 1.5 times more expensive than in the city but they do sell them here so hurry up and go get them!”vf0
ywrLW“Y, yes sir!”3u3x
1Oe“…Okay. Hopefully they will accept ginsengs in exchange.”XiFi
MKoT6nl“Yuel, give me that ginseng and buy it with Alicia’s money! Don’t even think about giving away something so precious!”v2oD
8WgSAfter confiscating the ginseng from Yuel, I sent the two of them to a store that sold flying equipment.Z1cgX
c6N97****tXzU
nQoCThe journey to the east wasn’t that bad. Going through the unpaved roads of the east would have been quite the arduous task but it was over in a flash thanks to riding on a flying beast.l4pswLz
JhIzubSometimes, we came across mail riders that posted mails and the royal military that patrolled the air but they went their way immediately after seeing the golden board I received from Marie.g0l
Grq6fSWe could even stay the night at docks that were only for the military and mail riders for free thanks to the board.NguOYY
lvkB6Just like that, we arrived at Taklakan of the east in just 1 week.ZKi
T5x1“MR. KORIIIINNNN…! OVER THEREEEEEEE…!”pGg
4pZfpBecause we were on a wyvern, it was hard to communicate with words. Proper wyvern riders with adequate training would communicate through gestures and signals but unfortunately, I was the only one here who knew how to use them.UoAXGg
0faIsBut looking at where Alicia was pointing, I could tell that something was happening over there.zSJ
jhnQZ—-—-—-—-!!O4p
1EEqcOn the grassland were rampaging demonic beasts.wsdRR
Bghf1hOliphants – they looked similar to elephants but they were so massive that comparing them to elephants didn’t feel very reasonable. They were semi-Grade 1 demonic beasts taller than 20 meters that were bigger than most buildings.tXrimU
VMnL“Those demonic beasts… are heading for the village that we just went by.”DHGe
Tw1pAs“At this rate, the village will be devastated.”g58CBSA
3c8qBZTwo oliphants. They were monsters that were unstoppable without guardians or military. A village would be reduced to rubble in less than 5 minutes.rHxcT7P
fn3HGfX“We will stop them here. Yuel, grow roots in front of them. Whether it be vines or thorns, just make sure to slow them down.”EwGH
I31“Okay. Please go closer to the ground.”H1OKS51
PhYI drove the wyvern down and closed in on the oliphants. The plan was to dive down like a bomber and drop Alicia.TjGTind
NABkZ“Alicia. Can you do it?”xy9
ZdCwX“I, I will try…!”lKO
pkzue8pWhen we were about 100 meters away from the ground, light started leaving from Yuel’s oak staff. At the same time, vines emerged from the earth and wrapped themselves around the two oliphants.5RZQBa
Vcg“…!?”H6N5e
IeA1The monsters seemed confused by the sudden emergence of vines that stopped their feet but their confusion didn’t last long.9fZ5i
ZJvq8V– Kajik!a2F
ew5R– Kaduduk!uem
VzXK4VAfter easily breaking themselves free from the vines, they resumed their march.q530tfB
SVH4yw“Uhk… they’re too heavy…!”5tk3
OpfYE“Focus on stopping the one at the front!”e8O
0TJ“Okay…!”CYJJ
T59Yuel once again used her magic as the blessing of spirits and every organism of the earth replied to her request. Vines soared up again and this time, they secured themselves around one of the two oliphants.zqhvCD
G2zaEMX“Now! Jump…!”LuV4s
Gu45nWith the Demon-Slaying Sword in hand, Alicia jumped down from the wyvern but the oliphant noticed her as well.Eg0oK
vxAe7I– Kwagack!fmVV
ciLYThe sword was stopped by the oliphant’s ivory. Alicia wasn’t expecting the beast to raise its head to stop her attack and was caught off guard.u5oV
3OoV8b“T, that got blocked?”THslew
ONAqvJB■■■■———!!jfRU6
PwHczThe roaring oliphant began marching at Alicia the moment she landed on the ground. Sliding under its belly, Alicia sliced at the thick ankles of the monster.MRPA7
JLU5“Uhk…! They’re too thick!”vYg
HL7“Focus on keeping it busy! Big monsters like this will go down eventually without smaller mobs protecting them!”5mPq
myZnIt’s not like Alicia didn’t have the strength to beat it so the monsters were bound to go down with time. The problem was that there were two of them.6yYh5zu
p135Qsl– Beeeeeeeeep…!!isSL6
0ywIt was then. A loud whistle echoed from a distance along with the appearance of a group of horsemen. The group of light-armored cavalry that amounted to 30 at the very least charged across the field.zo8
G8wXB– Click-clack click-clack…!N5Uj9t
moUThe sound of four-legged animals crushing through the grass was multiplied by 30 and filled the wide grassland with a harmonious rhythm.eSiEdG
XVLwMarching against an enormous elephant with horses seemed reckless at a glance but they weren’t normal humans either.2HDi
dgicRight before closing in on the vined-up oliphant, the cavalry scattered. When the enormous monster lost track and was confused as to where to look, one of the horsemen marched under the oliphant and unsheathed their sword.f59N
rjBHeOy– Pak! Pabak!to1
G1mHThe first horseman sliced at the ankles, followed by another horseman attacking the exact same places.9nv
ufcAVtWEach of their slashes were weak and seemed futile but when tens of people slashed at the same part on repeat, even the thick legs of the oliphant had to spurt out blood.BEj
CpFThey were very experienced. They specialized in hunting demonic beasts, and were masters at group battles.8ixs
nnbaMOdThe oliphant toppled after having all of its four legs cut off by their seasoned attacks and after that was a one-sided slaughter.bVee
9muO“Demon hunters of Arden, huh.”5tj
cqseRight, they were the swordsmen of Arden, the household of swordsmanship. They were noble fighters that guarded these far-off lands and the borders from demonic beasts.kFuzV9
AT7q“Uahkk…! Mr. Korin!”V6cIKe
ZIBIbThat was when the oliphant Alicia was keeping at bay started marching towards us. It seemed that it decided to ignore Alicia to help its monster friend.Zyha3N
pYSYAEI picked up my spear to kill the charging monster but—wPwFAZO
sag“Let me use this as a foothold.”a8n
GraX1“Aht. Kyaakk?!”oQpX3
g9sQYuel screamed as someone suddenly landed on the wyvern, but even the wyvern was used as nothing but a foothold. The swordsman pounced at the oliphant after kicking off of the wyvern.5cg
QCY5oAThe sword pierced through the oliphant’s forehead like a lightning bolt. Despite being tougher than steel, the skull of the oliphant was like tofu before the swordsman’s sword.PbNL1r
gAh“H, huh? Unni?”4cep3We
iOA48vHLunia Arden.Zur2Ak
yBsh5vUThe Sword Master of the contemporary times. She, who was also Alicia’s older sister from a different mother, gazed down at Alicia while standing on top of the dead oliphant.YPSs
JF3OCAl“Still pathetic as always. Can you not even kill a fat pig like this?”HkM
WYU“…S, sorry.”6NxH
JET8zShe looked down at Alicia as if she was pathetic. After a while, she threw her hand into her pocket and picked something up.WvPMoH
dn7tjfw“Catch it.”KGYG7kE
xCi– Tap!LucLED
BIu8dShe flicked it with her fingers. After catching it, Alicia scratched her head with flushed cheeks.B2VU
9tjk“T, thank you.”jirxdOz
3qujRsNTaking her eyes off of her younger sister that she met for the first time in a while, Lunia turned to me as I got down from the wyvern.CYn4
BBz38“Korin Lork.”xyI
R45P2“It’s been a while, Miss Lunia.”Lqku2Ce
xEK0She walked to me in large strides before similarly flicking something at me.lbRcJ
xi7d8r“This…”n1SS8dn
d6L5GSRIt had the unique packaging of a chubby bee – it was Alicia’s favorite honey bomb candy.q4z
1QsnnFk“I heard you got promoted to Grade 1.”jOLovj
oy1R“Ah, yes I did.”bLCpHpn
GXG5“That is a magnificent progress. Keep it up.”GiupQ
opiwL“T, thank you.”Wxp
q3PNAHer attitude was dry as always. This lady didn’t seem to hold anything against me even though I had interfered with her succession by planning the Sword Challenge.nkGUkg
iGWejRiWell, she was a cool person after all.33R13B
07WBzgOI had spent quite a lot of time with her in the last iteration as comrades so I already knew how she wasn’t the type to hold grudges. After all, there was only one person in the world that could make her hold an extreme grudge.wQC
TrzjF“More importantly, Korin Lork.”Atj
BBK9B“Yes? What is it?”umWoz
cVEJw7H“…”8jqk
1y2cAfter standing right in front of me, she scanned me from top to bottom before mumbling something incomprehensible like, ‘Not bad’.mSZtSqI
Nb3b“Umm… is there something wrong?”eSt7
v63a9kI asked an obvious question but Lunia replied with an extremely dry and business-like attitude.fLHMG
7uS“Korin Lork. How about you marry me?”BGgxFN
