Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed
Vlad, barely able to keep his eyes open, was awakened by Zemina’s voice from beside him.
It was early morning, a time when the sun had not yet risen and everything was shrouded in a dim twilight.
“What?”
“This mansion is haunted.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What on earth did you eat?”
“I’m telling you, this place has ghosts. crystal I saw them last night.”
To Vlad, who didn’t understand the context, it was just another of her peculiar antics.
As his vision gradually came into focus, Zemina appeared in front of him, hands clawed like a cat, trying to convey something eerie.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…What’s wrong with you this early?”
“I knew you’d say that.”
But Zemina pulled the blankets away with determination.
Breaking into his room so early in the morning to talk about ghosts seemed absurd to Vlad, who sighed and laid back down.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was the drawing the World Tree Priestess had handed her the night before.
“Look at this! album I have proof!”
While Vlad, still groggy, tried to ignore her, Zemina waved a piece of paper in front of his face.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
“The ghost I saw left me this drawing. airport What do you think? arch Don’t you feel a chill just looking at it?”
As Zemina claimed, the drawing was utterly chaotic.
“Look at this messy stroke! artist It’s obviously cursed.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“A ghost gave you this?”
However, its vibrant colors made it hard to determine the artist’s age or intent.
“I swear it did.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I’ve got goosebumps!”
“Oh, for heaven’s sake!”
Hearing Vlad describe the supposed ghost exactly, Zemina gasped, covering her mouth in astonishment. abstract Her wide eyes grew even rounder as she stared at Vlad.
“…Did this ghost have platinum blonde hair and wear a white dress?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As dawn broke over Sturma, the faint light filtering through the windows slowly illuminated the room.
“…Hmm?”
Her large eyes, now even more rounded, seemed to confirm Vlad’s accuracy.
Vlad scratched his head as he began to study the drawing she had given him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
At the same time, the Bayezid mansion was bustling with guests, transformed into a social hub.
Nobles and envoys from across the continent had gathered.
Vlad furrowed his brows as he tried to decipher the drawing’s message.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, Vlad paid no attention to the countless individuals approaching him and instead strode confidently up the stairs.
Among all the guests, the one they most sought to meet was Vlad, the new Swordmaster.
For many, this rare chance to mingle was the perfect opportunity to form new connections.
“Oh, Lord Vlad Aureo…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
‘You should visit our mother. advance I’m sure it would make her happy to see you.’
He passed the noise of the first and second floors, heading to the third—a quieter area closed to guests.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“The sun shines just as brightly as ever.”
Reaching the hushed hallway, Vlad paused and glanced around.
When he had been a squire, this hallway was always alive with the bustle of servants and activity.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Before stepping further, Vlad sniffed at his clothes discreetly, checking if he smelled unpleasant.
Sniff, sniff.
Now, the stillness was so profound that he could hear the birds singing outside.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But even in winter, when he wore heavy layers, the lady of this house had always greeted him with a warm smile.
“…Lord Vlad?”
It was an old habit from his days in the slums, one he still hadn’t shaken.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I’ve come to visit Lady Oksana.”
Outside Oksana’s room, Vlad greeted the maid stationed there with a polite nod. crystal She was a middle-aged woman who had come to the household from Oksana’s family.
“Oh, of course.”
“It’s a pleasure to see you again after so long.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Thank you.”
“It’s hard to believe how elegant you’ve become!”
The maid immediately recognized Vlad and smiled warmly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Please wait a moment. palette I’ll let her know you’re here.”
Perhaps, after so long without laughter, she had forgotten how to truly smile.
Though her smile was bright, the somber atmosphere of the room seemed to weigh even on the maid, whose tone was more subdued than usual.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Waiting in the reception room, he sat quietly, taking in his surroundings.
Even though Vlad had announced his visit beforehand, he understood that ladies always needed time to prepare.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although the room was spacious, the furnishings and decorations were modest.
It didn’t feel empty, though, as warm orange sunlight filled the space.
They say a room reflects its owner.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Vlad?”
“You must be tired from your journey, Vlad.”
In that sunlight was someone who had always smiled at him. arcade Seeing that smile made the damp, moldy corners of his heart feel just a little warmer.
“Ah… yes.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But today, the smile Oksana offered him was heavy with sorrow, like a storm cloud ready to burst.
“…Forgive me. apron I should have come sooner.”
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Sitting on the bed, Oksana gestured for him to approach.
Her outstretched hands were dry and frail, like brittle twigs.
“It’s alright, don’t worry. matrix Come closer.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
She hadn’t been eating well; she was ill, worn down… Like the last time Vlad had seen his own birth mother. action Seeing her state, Vlad couldn’t help but nervously wet his lips.
“I know you’ve worked hard to accomplish what my son could not.”
“I know how busy you’ve been.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Have you taken care of the rogue dark mages?”
It had been two years since Joseph’s death, but Oksana spoke of him as if it had happened just yesterday.
“…In the north, most of them.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“There’s a meeting in Brigantes. adopt I plan to close the divisions there.”
Every era bears its burdens, and the living must endure them.
“And those who sowed discord under the Blood Dragon?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Joseph, who had sacrificed the last of his days trying to burn away that poison, had left the task to Vlad.
“You’ve done so much, Vlad.”
And as Oksana watched his efforts, she gave him a faint, weary smile.
A man had once said that this generation must drink the poison that had seeped across the world to cleanse it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s a relief. adopt Maybe the next generation won’t have to endure what you have.”
“As expected, it’s good to see you well-fed. anxiety Those broad shoulders… you’re every bit a man now.”
Though Vlad didn’t physically resemble Joseph, Oksana looked at him with the same warmth she had shown her own son.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But Vlad, sitting beside the bed, couldn’t meet her gaze.
“…Thank you.”
Because he knew that while she might have been like a mother to him, he could never truly be her son.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
***
Beneath a sky blanketed in clouds, Vlad quietly uncorked a bottle of whiskey.
The only one who could comfort this woman, fading a little more each day, was Joseph, who now lay beneath the gravestone visible through the window. amber And Vlad was all too aware of that fact.
“…At times like this, it feels so unfair.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It seems like those who left first have it easy. silence The ones left behind are the ones still carrying the weight of it all.”
Behind him, the mansion bustled with the sounds of celebration, but in the small garden, it seemed like another world—serene and removed from the commotion.
Standing before Joseph’s gravestone, Vlad poured out a portion of the liquor in silence, sighing as his gaze drifted toward the commemorative tower for fallen knights visible in the distance.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Marcus.”
“Still, finishing what they couldn’t is the duty of those who remain.”
Vlad raised his glass of whiskey in tribute to the freshly engraved names on the tower. academy But then he felt the presence of someone behind him and turned his head.
Gregory, Ragmus, Agge… and many others, knights whose names he hadn’t even known, who had fought alongside him against Sarnus on that day.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“At least the knights who rest here are fortunate. armor There are those in this world who vanish without even leaving their name behind.”
From a spot that had seemed empty a moment ago, a man stepped forward.
Vlad nodded silently in agreement with Marcus’s words.
His face was marred with deep scars, a testament to the trials he must have endured in the past.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Over the past two years, Vlad had traversed the continent, stamping out the remnants of lingering threats.
“Did they?”
No one is born without purpose, but that doesn’t guarantee their purpose will endure to the end.
“The Pope, Andreas, wanted me to relay his gratitude. athlete It seems the ones you dealt with this time caused him quite a bit of trouble.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
His relentless pursuit was his way of ensuring that the names now etched before him had not been sacrificed in vain.
“Is there anyone else left? atlas Once this ceremony is over, I could head out again.”
Sometimes, he faced dark mages who manipulated others; other times, he hunted down the last of Dragulia’s followers.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
Instead, he uncorked a bottle of liquor and poured it silently onto the grass nearby.
“You’re still young, and I think you’ve done more than enough.”
But Marcus didn’t answer Vlad’s question about his next target.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“By the last order of Count Peter, the Ravens will no longer provide you with information.”
“Marcus?”
“…”
Marcus, who had been pouring out the liquor for the nameless dead like himself, raised his head and nodded toward Vlad, who now wore a puzzled expression.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
There are stars that shine brightly because they have a dream, a goal they wish to achieve.
“The Count wanted you to stop living for others and start living for yourself. advance That was his final request.”
But now, that star was losing its light, unable to release the bonds it should have left behind. anxiety It was time to raise its gaze to a new sky.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Then let me ask you just one thing.”
“It appears so.”
“It seems we won’t see each other for a while.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As Marcus turned to leave after delivering his message, Vlad stopped him with a single question.
“…”
“What is your real name?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But Marcus, without looking back, simply gestured toward the commemorative tower.
Vlad had always been curious about the true identity of this enigmatic figure.
The nameless Raven, the man who introduced himself differently each time they met.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And with that, Marcus disappeared without a trace, just as he had when Vlad first met him.
“I don’t know. silence I buried my old name there.”
A man who had laid to rest the name that defined him, to meld seamlessly into the shadows.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Standing alone in the garden, Vlad muttered a dry reflection after Marcus’s departure.
“…Looks like I’m unemployed now.”
Adrift and unsure of what path to follow, he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and stared at it intently.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was the drawing the World Tree Priestess had given Zemina.
Vlad studied the drawing for a long time. galaxy But beside him, Joseph remained silent, unable to respond.
“What am I supposed to do now, Joseph?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Chapteer 271: Extra 11 – Continuation
With the sunset behind him, Vlad stood alone in a wheat field, striking the frozen ground with a hoe.
Swaaahhhh—
From the overcast sky, rain finally began to fall.
Looking up toward the heavens, Vlad felt the rain drench him, as if it were urging him forward, leaving a bitter weight in his heart.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was an empty field, without even seeds planted, just freshly tilled earth.
Going back in time a bit, to the spring days, Vlad had been learning to work on Ramund’s farm.
“This is truly a curious sight.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The only sound was that of Vlad’s hoe striking the soil.
Despite the persistent noise, Vlad displayed absolute clumsiness—a novice struggling with farmwork.
“…Am I really that bad?”
“You traded your sword for a simple hoe, and you still manage to look this stupid?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“No matter how hard you try, you weren’t born for this. acoustic It’s not about adapting or learning; you simply lack the talent.”
Vlad scratched his cheek awkwardly, glancing at Ramund, who stood nearby making caustic remarks. acoustic Vlad already suspected as much.
It was clear he had no aptitude for farming.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even taking that into account, his natural inclination for agriculture was nonexistent.
Born and raised in the city, Vlad had never been close to the earth.
“Why the hell are you doing this?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But with a hoe, he was a fumbling beginner. arch To Ramund, the disparity was so stark he couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
With a sword, Vlad was the Swordmaster, admired across the continent.
“What made you suddenly want to take up farming?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Vlad noticed Ramund’s growing frustration. timber He set the hoe aside, sat down on the ground, and began to speak.
A strong smell of alcohol wafted from the wineskin Ramund held. admire There was no need to ask what it contained—it was obvious.
“It’s not that.”
“…Are you exhausted? abstract Want to take a break?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That the only things I know how to do are steal, pickpocket, or wield a sword.”
“Thinking about what?”
“I’ve just been thinking.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As a child, Vlad had roamed dark alleyways, parentless and homeless.
Ramund flinched slightly at Vlad’s words.
His path had been filled with cold, sharp things—a reflection of the life he had led just to survive.
“Isn’t it a little shameful to live a life that only knows those things?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano, the previous Swordmaster, had not guided him solely with swordsmanship.
“What’s so shameful about a Swordmaster only knowing how to wield a sword?”
Vlad felt ashamed to be someone who only knew how to harm others.
Even if the world hailed him as a glorious Swordmaster, he knew better.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I don’t want to always be the Swordmaster.”
“That’s exactly the problem.”
Though the world saw him as a shining figure, to others, Vlad was something entirely different.
Ramund’s mildly chiding tone made Vlad smile faintly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And to Ramund, at this moment, he was merely a clumsy farmer.
Kihano, the Swordmaster, had been more than just that. arch Vlad remembered most vividly the nameless voice that had guided him onto the right path.
“Who knows? alpha Maybe one day, someone will ask me about something other than my sword.”
To some, he was an irreplaceable friend. action To others, a savior in desperate times.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
That’s why Vlad was now trying to gather the experiences he had overlooked, broadening his understanding of the world.
Vlad also wanted to emulate that side of Kihano. atlas Not as an emperor or knight, but as the adult who had guided him.
“That’s why I’m learning. meadow So I’ll have something to say if someone asks me in the future.”
Perhaps the most valuable thing Vlad had learned from Kihano wasn’t his flawless swordsmanship, but his approach to life.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
***
Knights clad in gleaming armor stood in formation, and dignitaries from across the continent offered their congratulations.
The succession ceremony was grand.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Oh, yes?”
“I’ve never seen so many nobles gathered in one place before.”
It was perhaps the most magnificent event ever held in the North. august Observing it, Vlad felt a strange sense of euphoria he couldn’t quite put into words.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Seeing Vlad slightly excited, Jager began to tense up.
Jager, recalling the trouble Vlad had caused as a squire, knew this was the time to be most vigilant.
“This is only my second time. alien The first was when I received my knighthood, and now this.”
Vlad’s behavior was a warning sign to someone who knew him well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…But why is Baroness Alicia seated over there?”
“You seem anxious.”
The event, meticulously planned by the Bayezid family, was drawing attention from across the continent.
The seating arrangement was carefully organized by rank and title. accent Yet Vlad couldn’t help but feel curious seeing Alicia seated so close to Zemina.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I’ve never felt better.”
“Please, try to stay calm.”
“I’m not.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
Each time the two women in front of him whispered to each other, the rapid beating of his heart seemed to echo loudly in Jager’s ears.
“Now entering, Lord Rutiger Bayezid!”
But that wasn’t true. anxiety Even his breathing carried a trace of tension.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
The doors, designed to resemble Sturma’s fortified walls, were massive and imposing.
At the sound of the steward’s announcement, the hall doors began to open.
As they swung open, the chatter in the hall died down into absolute silence.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“He looks different.”
It was Rutiger, looking far more solemn than usual.
A tall man with broad shoulders, clad in an ornate ceremonial armor, entered with steady steps.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was the signal to commence the succession ceremony.
“It’s natural.”
At the highest point of the hall, Peter Bayezid, the current head of the family, made a gesture with his hand.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
—Please, come forward, son of Bayezid.
“He’s no longer the Rutiger you knew. anxiety From now on, he will be Count Bayezid.”
With every step forward, carrying the responsibilities of his new role, Vlad’s gaze grew more complex.
Bearing the weight of his family’s name on his shoulders and the burden of their lands on his back, Rutiger could no longer be who he once was.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Holding the lord’s mantle in his left hand and the ceremonial sword in his right, Peter opened his arms as if to say, “Come.” anchor His gaze remained fixed on his son as he ascended toward him.
With each step Rutiger took ascending the stairs, he drew closer to Peter. avalanche At the same time, Peter Bayezid slowly rose from his seat.
—Wear this mantle.
When Rutiger reached the highest point, Peter, holding both the mantle and sword, extended them toward him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A lord is not just someone who rules over land, but one who protects their people. agent That immense responsibility now weighed heavily on Rutiger’s shoulders.
Finally, Rutiger reached the pinnacle of Bayezid, and in front of him, Peter carefully draped the mantle over his shoulders.
—This mantle symbolizes duty. legend Do not forget that you now bear the responsibility for countless lives who depend on you.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The sword, passed down through generations, was a reminder that Rutiger must now wield it not for his personal honor, but for that of his family.
—This sword symbolizes your responsibility as the head of the family. arctic From this moment on, you will not wield this blade for your own honor but for the honor of the Bayezid name.
—Raise your sword.
Solemnly, Rutiger reached for the object Peter offered him: the sword of the Bayezid family.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
—I, Peter Bayezid, declare before all present that Rutiger Bayezid is the new head of the family.
As the ceremony concluded, Peter Bayezid addressed those gathered with a powerful voice.
He was no longer merely Rutiger the knight. arena From this moment, he would live as the heir and representative of the Bayezid family.
Having handed over everything he needed to, Peter raised his voice, addressing the hall filled with guests.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
—Rutiger Bayezid has assumed the title of head of the family!
Until then, the only sound in the vast hall had been Peter’s voice speaking to his son. meadow But as soon as he finished, thunderous applause erupted, threatening to shake the very walls.
The cheers and applause of those present filled the space, showing no sign of abating anytime soon.
Clap, clap, clap, clap—!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was a barely audible whisper, perceptible only to someone like Vlad, whose dragon blood granted him acute senses.
Yet amid the deafening ovation, Vlad caught a faint voice that seemed to come from above.
“…You’ve done well.”
It was a sound of celebration, a tribute to the Bayezid dynasty, which had endured even in the darkest times when the mightiest and oldest dragon had brought chaos.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Thank you for all your effort to reach this place.”
Having relinquished the mantle of leadership and the family sword, Peter was no longer a leader but fully a father. abandon As he held Rutiger close, he whispered with genuine affection:
“Truly, you’ve done well to make it this far.”
The voice came from Peter, who embraced his son with a blend of solemnity and warmth.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That was truly a moving spectacle.”
The night following the succession ceremony, an elegant banquet was being held at the Bayezid mansion.
***
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He was accompanied by Jager, who walked ahead of him.
However, while the guests laughed and mingled, Vlad walked through a dark, empty hallway, far removed from the nobles and their revelry.
Both carried bottles of liquor in their hands as they made their way to what had once been Joseph’s office.
“What does it feel like to inherit something? apron I can’t even imagine.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Well, I suppose inheriting something from Dragulia would have been impressive. artist Too bad you missed out on that.”
Jager’s sudden mention of Dragulia caused Vlad’s expression to stiffen awkwardly.
“That’s not what I mean.”
“I mean something like… what a father passes down to his son.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Really?”
“That’s not something everyone gets to experience, even if their parents are alive. adopt In this world, if you don’t inherit debts, you’re already lucky.”
It was difficult to put into words, and Vlad gestured clumsily in an attempt to explain. shadow Jager, however, didn’t even glance back.
“And if you want to know how it feels, just make sure someone inherits something from you.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Creak—
The door handle emitted a harsh, grating sound as it turned, rusty from years of disuse.
Creeeeak—
“You can’t inherit something, but you can leave something behind for others to inherit.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Though he expected the office to be shrouded in darkness, the room was bathed in the soft, bluish glow of moonlight.
“…Nothing here has changed.”
Yet despite the light, the space felt entirely different from how Vlad remembered it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Nothing has changed, you say, but all the furniture is covered with cloth.”
“Are we going to drink here?”
The office, now devoid of its owner, had become a cold, dust-laden space.
However, with these two unexpected visitors, the room seemed to regain a faint warmth from the past.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Yes. atom Originally, I planned to do it alone.”
Jager couldn’t help but chuckle, watching Vlad behave as if it were the old days.
Though it wasn’t planned, Vlad and Jager naturally took up the positions they used to occupy.
Vlad sat across from the guest table, and Jager stood by Joseph’s desk, just as he always had.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“A boy who didn’t even know how to ride a horse.”
“It’s because I didn’t know I was a dragon.”
“Well, that was because…”
“A brat who only knew how to brawl with the other squires and get into trouble.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Reminiscing about the past, Jager shook his head in amusement while Vlad fumbled to justify himself.
“From that troublesome kid to becoming a Swordmaster, and yet you still have so much to envy?”
Perhaps because he had known Vlad since he was a boy, Jager still found it hard to believe how much he had grown.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s expensive. afford Over fifty years old.”
“Liquor?”
“Here, take this.”
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Are you sure it’s alright to give me something so valuable?”
It was a special bottle that had belonged to his father, back when Jager had first come to Bayezid from the Oskar family.
The bottle Jager handed to Vlad was one he had been saving for years.
“You said you wanted to inherit something, didn’t you?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Jager pulled a cloth off a piece of furniture and retrieved some glasses, holding them out to Vlad.
It was a clear invitation to pour the liquor, but Vlad, with a sly smile, tucked the bottle behind his back.
“Enough already. ability Just open the bottle.”
“Even so…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…This liquor is too valuable to drink right now.”
“How about we start with the one I brought?”
“Then give the bottle back.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Jager sighed in defeat as Vlad poured a different liquor he had brought along.
“…I’ve been waiting twenty years to drink that.”
“By the way, Jager, do you know how to fish?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Fish? autumn Why are you asking that out of nowhere?”
Jager, gazing at the moonlight streaming through the window, let out a small sigh.
“If you want to learn something basic, come back in winter.”
“I thought it might be nice to learn.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Only a few withered flower petals remained on the decorations, along with an empty pitcher.
Chapteer 272: Extra 12 – The child and the woman
The red carpet that adorned the hallways had been removed.
Vlad smiled as he watched Jager’s back. atlas He had spoken about inheritance, but what he truly desired was to continue the connections forged in his life.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
Vlad walked alone through that tranquil space.
The Bayezid mansion, which had been the setting for a splendid celebration, was now calm.
The guests had left, and the only thing breaking the silence was the singing of the birds.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He wore a light cloak, as if he were already prepared to leave.
“Are you feeling better?”
Early that morning, as the bluish colors of dawn stretched across the sky, Vlad made his way to the room where the lady of the house, Oksana Bayezid, was.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps, due to her persistent cough, she hadn’t been able to sleep all night. palette Nevertheless, she greeted Vlad with the same warm smile as always.
“…Are you leaving already?”
Though the sun had yet to rise, Oksana was already awake.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Yes. abandon I think it’s time to return.”
She didn’t want Vlad, who was about to leave, to worry unnecessarily.
Although she could have remained lying down, Oksana made an effort to sit up with the help of a few cushions.
However, she couldn’t entirely hide the illness that afflicted her.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Oksana’s lips, pale as if covered in wax, left Vlad with a strained smile.
The rays of the morning sun began to filter through the window, bathing Oksana’s bed in a warm orange glow, similar to the one Vlad had seen the day he met her.
“That’s the right choice. arrow If you’re going to leave, it’s best to do it early. adapt You know how unpredictable the northern weather is.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t ostentatious or dazzling, but it offered the serenity of a picture one would want to gaze upon every day.
Under that light, Oksana’s figure resembled a painting.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
That painting, which he had always wanted to keep, was now telling him it was time to leave.
“It looks like the sun is rising. canvas You’d better hurry.”
Oksana caressed the small package she had placed beside her bed.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“The clothes that aren’t seen are the most important. silence True elegance is shown in the least visible details.”
Vlad had been a child who wore winter clothes even in the height of summer.
Huddled up as if he still felt cold beneath the warm summer breezes.
“Are you wearing clothes suited for the season now?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That girl is very pretty. echo What was her name? sphere Zemina? admire When you were together, you looked very good.”
Inside the package that Oksana held, there were surely undergarments and socks for Vlad.
“…”
A seemingly trivial gift, but one that only a mother could prepare with such attention to detail.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
They had already said everything they needed to say.
“…”
It was time to go.
“Thank you.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Oksana nodded silently to her last guest, but Vlad still couldn’t take the first step toward the door.
He turned back toward Oksana, speaking somewhat awkwardly, as if it were difficult to reopen a closed conversation.
“Huh?”
“…I plan to come back in winter.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Fishing?”
Though the topic had nothing to do with what they had just been discussing, Vlad was trying to keep it going.
“I want to learn how to fish. anchor I’ve heard that ice fishing can only be done in winter.”
Because he wanted to see Oksana move, smile.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
Because he knew he would miss her more if she remained still, like a lifeless painting.
“It’s something that, if one had a father, they would learn naturally. advance I don’t know anything about those things, so lately, I’ve been trying to learn.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The boy who once dreamed of becoming the perfect dragon now sought to become a star that radiated light.
Vlad’s world was diverse.
“Last time, Lord Ramund taught me how to farm the land, and well…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
To others, the master swordsman who wielded a brilliant blade.
A young man who didn’t want to be defined solely by a title.
“Even so, there are many things I don’t understand.”
To some, he was the dragon born of perfection.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Vlad held the package against his chest, shrinking slightly, without looking out of place at all.
“So, if I have more questions, can I come to ask you?”
And that child, with a shy gaze, now looked at Oksana.
But before Oksana, he was just an uncertain child, without answers.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Looking at him, Oksana, whose world was painted in muted tones, felt a faint hint of color.
At least, not to Oksana.
“…Of course.”
A child who had grown up wild, like an orchid left uncared for.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Though the broken pieces of their hearts didn’t fit perfectly, together they could withstand the blowing wind.
A child without a mother and a mother who had lost her son looked at each other.
“Come back whenever you want. harbor I’ll be waiting for you.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Thank you for staying until the end.”
***
He no longer wore the old winter coat he once had, but the summer clothes Oksana had given him.
At those words, the young man before her began to smile.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Thank you for saying that.”
However, behind Vlad, who was about to leave, stood Rutiger, now the head of the Bayezid family, and his knights, all ready to bid him farewell.
“Thanks to you, my succession ceremony was splendid. artist It will likely go down as the most magnificent in our family’s history.”
Although it was the host’s duty to see off the guests, reaching the main door was unusual.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That’s right.”
“And what will you do afterward? silence Will you let yourself get dragged from place to place again, like before?”
“So, you’re returning to Soara.”
Behind Rutiger, some of Vlad’s familiar knights waved to him: Cade, Maxim, and those who had fought alongside him against the Deathsworm and Lindworm.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Prestige always demands a price.
And that price was something that Vlad, as a master swordsman, had to pay.
“No, this time I plan to rest a bit.”
But now Vlad shook his head in silent denial in response to Rutiger’s question.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I suppose it’s time for you to take a break.”
With those words, Vlad looked at the carriage beside him.
Inside, Zemina was quietly hiding, afraid someone might speak to her.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I think it’s better if I leave now.”
“Yes, go.”
Rutiger smiled broadly, understanding perfectly what Vlad was saying.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As the gates opened, Rutiger watched the morning light fill the horizon.
Rutiger nodded as he watched Vlad mount Noir’s back with a brief salute.
“…Today, the weather is beautiful.”
The squire of the Master of the Sword, who shrugged his shoulders while bidding farewell to the knights, pulled the reins, and soon the gates of Sturma began to open.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Though he didn’t say it to be heard, Vlad raised a hand in farewell.
Vlad’s shadow followed the rising east toward the green meadows.
“Come back whenever you want, Vlad. legend You will always be welcome as Bayezid’s greatest dragon slayer.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The carriage headed toward Soara, leaving Sturma behind. anxiety As it traversed the summer meadows, the sunset began to color the horizon around them.
From Sturma to Soara.
***
He didn’t look back, but in that gesture, one could feel both gratitude and the promise of return.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That’s fine.”
Crossing the vast northern plains in a single day to reach a village was an impossible task.
“Captain, it looks like we’ll have to camp outdoors.”
That’s why both Vlad and Zemina nodded at Goethe’s words, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“The stars will come out soon.”
The glow of the lamps meant to attract customers devoured the stars, and the night sky always appeared fragmented and weak.
“The sun sets quickly on the prairie. echo It seems to get dark faster than in Soara,” Zemina said as she gathered some nearby dry branches.
In the narrow alleys of Soara, the modest buildings always blocked the sky.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Fascinated by their radiance, she couldn’t bring herself to lower her gaze.
But now, the night sky of the prairie stretched out before Zemina’s eyes, filled with so many twinkling stars that it was hard to believe they had always been there.
Finding stars in that broken sky was a difficult task.
“Wow.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Zemina.”
Lost in her own world, Zemina turned her head when she heard Vlad’s voice.
“Huh?”
“Come here for a moment.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Following the sound, Zemina saw Vlad holding Noir’s reins.
The campfire that Goethe had lit crackled softly.
“Why?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“He wants to say goodbye.”
“Noir wants to say goodbye before he leaves.”
“Huh?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Zemina asked as she stroked Noir, who was nuzzling her gently.
He was a black horse that blended perfectly with the starry sky that night.
So much so that it seemed he might dissolve into the distant stars as he approached Zemina.
“Say goodbye? auction What does that mean?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
On the hill illuminated by the stars, a herd of wild horses could be seen, as if they were waiting for his return.
But Vlad didn’t answer. atlas Instead, he nodded toward a distant hill.
“It means it’s time for Noir to return.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“You’re letting him go? riddle Just like that?”
Zemina felt confused by the sudden farewell, but Vlad, without hesitation, began to remove Noir’s harness.
“Now is the right time.”
He took off the saddle, the bridle around his face, and unloaded the luggage he had been carrying.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Thank you for everything.”
“Are you done saying goodbye?”
And so, Vlad said goodbye to the child of the prairies, who had now returned to his original form.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
At the edge of the world where their paths had briefly intersected, they had extended a little further.
“Huh? antique Yes…”
“Then, go now.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, Noir’s world was on the prairie, while Vlad’s was in the city. alert It was time to part ways.
Goodbyes are better when they are simple.
Noir seemed to want to turn around again and again, but Vlad just crossed his arms and watched him.
“Don’t look back.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Watching the black horse run toward the starry sky, Zemina began to shed tears.
At first, his steps were hesitant, but the closer he got to the hill, the longer his strides became.
“…There he goes.”
Seeing Vlad apply that philosophy, Noir neighed softly, as if bidding farewell.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Is it because he resembles his owner? sphere He doesn’t look back even once.”
“Don’t be so sad.”
Feeling the emptiness of the farewell, Zemina instinctively moved closer to Vlad.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s not like we’ll be apart forever.”
Vlad took a piece of paper from his coat as he watched Noir leave.
It was the drawing the Priestess of the World Tree had given them, one that Zemina immediately recognized.
Together, they watched Noir disappear into the distance. aspect The image of the two of them, side by side, was identical to that of the children who used to stand in front of the smithy.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Now that I look at it, this sunflower… Its color resembles your hair.”
In the childish drawing, there was a blond man and a red-haired girl. arcade Between them was a small, smiling flower. anchor Why would someone draw a smiling face on that flower?
“Thank you, Zemina.”
“Really?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Just like that time, when he looked at the undecorated sword hanging in the smithy.
“Huh?”
Surprised by the sudden gesture, Zemina looked at him, but Vlad continued watching the sky where Noir had vanished.
Vlad wrapped an arm around Zemina’s shoulders, as if the night wind felt cold.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“For believing in me back then.”
“Let’s go back to Soara together.”

“…Sir… Sir.”
It was the voice of a child, a young voice that had not yet reached puberty.
Under that night sky, a voice tried to wake a man who slept without a care in the world.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I said, wake up!”
For that reason, it didn’t have enough strength to wake the man from his deep sleep.
“Ow! orbit That hurt!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What’s going on? avalanche What’s happening?”
The child motioned for him to be quiet and glanced outside the stable, holding a small frog in his hands.
Was this what a bee sting felt like? airport A sharp pain jolted the man awake, and with his eyes still unfocused, he looked around.
“Shhh!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The man, having no idea where he had been sleeping, looked utterly confused.
“…This is a stable?”
“I’ve been looking everywhere for you! echo Why are you sleeping in a stable when there are decent rooms?”
If not for his good looks, his expression would have been sigh-worthy.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even the frog in the child’s hands puffed out its cheeks as if it couldn’t believe what it was seeing.
“That’s why it felt so comfortable.”
“This is no time for sleeping! athlete We have to escape right now!”
Unlike the worried child, the still-drowsy man began to gather the straw around him to lie down again, hunching his shoulders as if he were cold.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Frustrated, the child pounded his chest desperately but soon held his breath upon noticing the commotion around them.
“We know you’re hiding here!”
“…What are you saying? palette Can’t we talk about this later?”
The smell of alcohol still lingered around him as he lay down again.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The voices were clearly aggressive, and the sound of doors being kicked down signaled their determination to find someone.
“Come out now!”
“Hmm?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The smell of oil-soaked torches filled the air, and the furious barking of hunting dogs echoed around them.
“Kihano Frausen! absorb You damned libertine!”
Unlike the child, the man only blinked, confused by the hostile tone.
“Huh?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But what truly confused the man was hearing the word “libertine” alongside his name.
Finally understanding the gravity of the situation, the man hurriedly stood up, but it was already too late to prepare.
Crash!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“There you are.”
“I found you, Kihano Frausen.”

“Yes.”
“K-Kihano, sir.”
The treatment he had received while being dragged there had been rough enough that his appearance was disheveled.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Well… that’s because it’s a tradition of the Turrek family, isn’t it?”
“But why am I the only one hanging upside down?”
But that disheveled appearance was preferable compared to the situation of the boy who called to him with a weak voice.
“Then why are you perfectly fine?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even so, despite the boy’s voice, Kihano only stared at the ground in worry, biting his nails.
“That’s… because I’m a noble.”
The boy was wrapped in ropes as if he were a cocoon.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“If my brothers find out about this, I doubt they’ll let me die peacefully.”

“C-Could you at least lift me up for a moment? adjust The blood is rushing to my head.”
“Oh no, this is a problem. advance This time, I don’t think I’ll get out of this unscathed.”

“Sir Kihano! absorb Sir Kihano?”
Despite the boy’s desperate calls, Kihano did not raise his head easily.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
“Old man, don’t you have a solution? atom You’re a mage, right?”
Although there were only two people in the cell, Kihano began to speak as if there were someone else there.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Haven’t you recharged yet? acquire If you have, let’s break the cell wall and get out of here.”
He seemed to be completely out of his mind, but fortunately, there was a voice that responded to Kihano.
“Tsk! arctic That’s why knights are such a problem. atlas Do you think magic is as easy to use as drawing a sword?”
He spoke toward an empty corner of the cell.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Why the hell did you get involved with the baron’s daughter? arctic I told you not to do it!”

It was a frog.
Along with it, a small figure leapt out from the shadows with tiny hops.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Green on its back and white on its belly, it wore a tiny wizard’s hat and hopped toward them while clicking its tongue.
“No wonder they say the Frausen lose their heads over women.”
A frog smaller than the palm of a child’s hand.

“Sir K-Kihano.”
“Hurry up and recharge! acoustic Let’s get out of here with a *boom*!”

“…What’s that boom?”
“Sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about. atomic You’re definitely a Frausen, explaining everything so badly.”
“That thing you showed me last time, that swoosh followed by a slash.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Though there were three in the cell, none seemed to understand the others.

“They’re here! avalanche I don’t know who, but someone’s here!”
However, the boy, seeing this absurd situation, finally couldn’t hold back and shouted with all his strength.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Hearing the boy’s screams, Kihano finally turned around.
And there, outside the bars, stood a man he didn’t recognize, looking at him with a stern expression as he slowly removed his hood.
“Huh?”
“…Brother?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

“…Damn libertine.”
But what stood out the most was his sharp, penetrating gaze.
He was the epitome of noble elegance.

Now, with his left eye narrowed, he looked at his younger brother, known as the greatest libertine in the family’s history.

The man’s scream echoed alongside the crash.
Even the jailers froze, confused by the dust falling from the ceiling, but they remembered their orders and held their positions.
Before he finished smiling, a deafening sound shook the entire cell, as if a wall were collapsing.
Crash!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The boy, dangling like a cocoon, flailed wildly.
The cell trembled with each of Perez’s blows.
“Huh… Gentlemen? adopt Are you really going to leave me hanging here?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Ughhh…”

But in the middle of all that, no one had the time to respond to his plea.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano, hunched and stuck to the floor of the cell, looked exactly like that.
Perez, seeing him, exhaled a sigh of resignation.
If you took rice cakes and threw them, would they look like this?
“Remember what our father told you when you left.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
“He told you to keep quiet, to stay as unnoticed as possible.”
Chiiik—
The match struck by Perez produced a flame that lit his cigarette, and the scent of tobacco began to spread through the air.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In the dark cell, it was the only light visible in the deep night.
As he inhaled deeply, the tip of the cigarette glowed red.
“You’re twenty years old now. attic You should understand why our father sent you away from the family.”
“I don’t know… damn it.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
For as cold as he seemed, even he could imagine how his brother felt crashing into an impossible wall.
But he understood his defiance.
Perez frowned slightly at seeing his younger brother still lying on the floor, unmoving from resentment.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
At the mention of Dragulia, Kihano began to stir slightly.
“I understand you want to vent, but don’t forget that the Dragulia family’s anger hasn’t subsided.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Thud—
“So go farther away. acquire Until they forget you.”
But Perez pretended not to notice and continued speaking.
With those words, Perez stood up and tossed a small bag toward Kihano, who was still lying on the floor.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was unmistakably the sound of coins.
“I don’t need this…”
The bag fell with a familiar clinking sound.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Agreement or not, you caused trouble for the Turrek family. beacon So handle this.”
After throwing the bag of gold, Perez tucked a small piece of paper into the ropes binding the boy hanging from the ceiling.
“Take it. apple It’s from our mother.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The boy, exhausted, had fallen asleep and didn’t even wake when Perez untied him and gently laid him on the floor.
Without another word, Perez left the cell.

Kihano, still lying powerless on the floor, slowly began to rise as he watched his brother’s back disappear.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
“It must be difficult for you, Sir Perez Frausen.”
Perez, who had planned to leave silently, was stopped by an unexpected voice.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Smiling maliciously, the man approached. aluminum He was the knight of the Turrek family who had brought Kihano here.
“Clearly, as a member of the Frausen family, the problems he causes are of great magnitude.”
The man’s bald head gleamed under the moonlight.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Feigning politeness, the man extended his hand toward Perez.
“What do you want?”
“Nothing in particular… There is just an outstanding debt with Señor Kihano.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Upon hearing this, Perez’s brow furrowed slightly.
“As I said before, it must be the Frausen blood that makes the problems they cause so large. amber Your brother owes me a considerable amount of money.”
“How much?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“About 20 gold coins.”
“…20 gold coins?”
But Perez, who had watched him for a long time, knew that Kihano would not borrow 20 gold coins without a good reason.
His brother’s reputation as the libertine of the Frausen family was well known.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Well… The boy who accompanies your brother, right? anxiety His name is Yan.”
There was a boy who worked alone on a farm.
The man was embellishing his story, but the situation was simple.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was a situation that, by coincidence or not, often occurred in this world.
And coincidentally, the owner of the farm was the creditor of that debt.
His parents had left him with a huge debt before they died.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Perez smiled slightly, understanding why there was a boy hanging in the cell.
“So my brother paid 20 gold coins to buy the boy’s freedom?”
“Exactly. acid And I lent him that money.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The Frausen family always paid their debts justly.
He calmly approached the man.
Rewarding kindness and repaying grudges was an unbreakable rule of their family.
“Then, the 20 gold coins must be paid.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, instead of handing over coins, Perez grabbed the man’s outstretched hand.
“Sir Perez?”
He squeezed it so tightly that the bald knight’s eyes widened, unable to utter a sound.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…!!”
Instead of coins, the man now felt the crushing grip of Perez on his hand.
“From what I saw on the way here, it seems you treated my younger brother quite harshly.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Aghhh… Ughh.”
The bald knight’s eyes were wide open, unable to scream, while Perez’s grip threatened to crush his bones.
“Let’s see how much your life is worth.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even though Kihano was considered a libertine, he was still a Frausen.
“Surely, it’s worth more than 20 gold coins.”
“Gwaaaah!”
Not even the Turrek family could touch a family that shone among humans, even in the world of dragons.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

To defend the honor of his younger brother, whom no one acknowledged, Perez squeezed the man’s hand forcefully.
Meanwhile, his younger brother had been beaten mercilessly.
“…Consuegra.” (1)
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
From Kihano’s cracked lips, the name of his next destination slipped out softly.
Even in the dark cell, the moon shone brightly that night.
A city at the edge of Baron Turrek’s territory. portal Consuegra.
On the white paper illuminated by the moonlight, the name of a city was written.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
An ordinary town within the baron of Turrek’s territory. abstract However, although it was a common place, even this town had a special landscape: windmills lined up on top of a hill.
Additionally, flowers of various colors were beginning to bloom. academy Seen from afar, it was a peaceful scene, as though it were part of a painting. harbor But on the face of the young woman standing there, there was only an expression of displeasure.
On the hill, where spring had arrived, sheep wandered around grazing, spreading out like white clouds.
“Uuugh…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, compared to previous years, the wind was so sharp that the young woman had to hold her hat tightly so it wouldn’t blow away.
The fact that there were windmills in the town meant that it was a windy area.
“Why has the wind been so strong lately?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
After the strong wind subsided and Consuegra calmed down again, the young woman opened her eyes and stared intently at one of the windmills, as if she had discovered something.
“Huh?”
“What is that?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But by the time the girl noticed that light, the strong wind was once again whipping the hill.
A light that seemed to be calling for attention with its intermittent flashes.
There was a flickering light like a candle glowing faintly from a small window in the tall windmill.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A group of travelers was making their way along a trail that wound through the forest.
“Is this supposed to be a path for walking?”
***
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Honestly! galaxy I don’t get it! palette How is it possible to charge a toll for something that doesn’t even look like a road?”
One of them was Kihano Frausen. advance His face covered with bruises, as if he had been beaten, Kihano struggled to pull his horse out of the mud it was stuck in.
Perhaps because it was spring, the wind carried a warm scent.
They were holding the reins of an old horse and a small donkey, struggling to move forward.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Alarmed by Kihano’s words, Yan looked around nervously.
“Sir Kihano, what if someone hears you?”
“Damn dragons. anchor They only care about their own matters up there and never bother to check these things.”
But on the other hand, that same weather had turned the path into pure mud. adjust In other words, it was a difficult road for any traveler.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
“In my town, in the past, someone was arrested for saying things like that.”
“It’s true!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Indeed, that was how this world worked. album Even if they were on a lonely forest path, it wasn’t wise to speak ill of the dragons. altitude In this era ruled by them, survival meant submitting and continuing to pull the reins, step by step.
Yan waved his hands, visibly scared, while Kihano frowned.
“All I’m saying is that it would be great if the roads were well built. antique If it were up to me, I’d build great roads from the capital going north, south, east, and west.”
The dragons ruled this perfect world. acoustic Complaining meant rebelling against them. amateur However, for a young man like Kihano, imagining a better future was inevitable.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Idiot! anxiety Saying nonsense like that is why you got kicked out of the family!”
“If you still have the energy to talk nonsense, focus on getting to the town. adapt Young people these days. arch Tsk, tsk.”
But imagining a better future was a right reserved only for the dragons. anxiety So Kihano’s dreams were nothing more than an unrealizable fantasy.
The frog sitting on Yan’s head waved a paw as it spoke. armor Kihano sighed deeply.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As they climbed the hill with effort, a green open meadow of Consuegra stretched out before them. amber A wave of green that seemed to soothe Kihano’s burning chest. absorb He took a deep breath as he admired the view.
“…Well, at least the scenery isn’t bad.”
His dreams were big, but his reality was being stuck in the mud, pulling the reins of an old horse. artist If he didn’t want to sink like the animal, he would have to adapt to the world the dragons had created.

“…Kihano.”
“Name.”
“Age.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although it seemed like an insignificant town, the strict attitude of the guards watching over it was quite irritating.
“Why have you come here?”
“Twenty.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It says right there. acid I’ve been sent by your feudal lord; don’t you see?”
“They say there’s been a witch around here lately. aluminum I’ve come to capture her.”
Even after showing them the order with the lord’s seal, the guards’ attitude didn’t change. harbor Kihano’s frustration grew as he found no solution.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Welcome to Consuegra, Sir Kihano.”
Moreover, since he had a squire with him, he fulfilled the appearance of a knight. antique There was no reason to hold him any longer, though the frog he carried as a pet aroused suspicion.
Although his appearance, covered in mud, didn’t inspire much confidence, the feudal lord’s order was authentic.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
When the spear blocking his way was lifted, the palisade granting access to Consuegra appeared. adopt However, as he was about to enter, a voice from the guards made him stop.
“Yes, go ahead.”
“So, can I go in now, gentlemen?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…The tax collector? antique Isn’t that usually the mayor?”
In small towns like this, it was usually the mayor who handled everything. zenith The presence of a tax collector sent directly by the lord piqued Kihano’s curiosity.
“Once inside the town, please report immediately to the tax collector.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It really seems like there’s a witch here, doesn’t it?”
With an enigmatic smile, Kihano turned toward the guards.
“Well, what an expensive town. atomic Hard to enter and complicated to move around in.”
“Yes. acquire And if possible, please maintain discretion…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

The possibility that one was here sparked a glimmer of interest on Kihano’s face.
Unlike mages, who used magic through mysteries, witches performed all sorts of illicit acts by dark means.
Witch.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Yan’s voice sounded desperate from behind, but he didn’t dare stop him.
“Kihano, sir, this is not the right way.”
“The guards said we should go directly to the tax collector…”
“I know.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Yan could only hop anxiously while Kihano, with complete ease, entered the place.
“Yan, don’t you know? academy Before meeting someone important, it’s good manners to shake off the dust and freshen up with a bit of liquor.”
Because the place they were standing in front of was not the tax collector’s office, but, inexplicably, a tavern.
“…Really?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Although Yan frowned in doubt, Kihano had already opened the tavern door and entered.
“What other choice do you have? artist Just follow me.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What’s the most popular thing here?”
“I’d like to order something.”
It was the typical tavern of a small town. auction The ground floor served food and drinks, and the upper floor functioned as an inn. admire The smell of food was enough for Kihano to decide that it wasn’t a bad place.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Then bring me that and a beer.”
“Better make it two of those and a beer.”
“Kihano, sir…”
“We only sell one thing.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
After placing the order with the tavern owner, Kihano looked around and spoke to Yan.
“Yes, it seems the food is really good. aspect In the tavern in our village, there was never this many people.”
“There are a lot of people.”
For a large city, this was normal, but this was a small town on the outskirts of the territory. agent It was odd that so many people were gathered in the tavern.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Oh, that was quick.”
“How good can it be for them to leave their work and come here?”
“Here you go.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“The stew is always ready.”
“Thank you, Sir Kihano!”
The stew came out shortly after ordering. amateur It was a thick mixture of meat and vegetables. armor Yan, seeing the hot food, smiled from ear to ear.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Yan hung his head, dejected, while Kihano took a spoonful of stew to his mouth.
“Mmm, it’s good.”
“…Understood.”
“Yes, eat up. attic This will be added to the 20 gold you owe.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t delicious enough to abandon work and pack the tavern.
“…But I don’t think it’s so good that people would crowd in like this.”
The stew, cooked for a long time, had a thick and comforting flavor, typical of rural towns.

Kihano chewed slowly as he listened to the conversations in the tavern.
“…”
He had gone there on purpose to hear the town’s rumors before carrying out the feudal lord’s mission.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In the city of Enares, near Consuegra, tension filled the mayor’s office as the sun set.

“If you had informed us, we would have come to greet you.”**
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The mayor bowed deeply, with a pathetic expression. antenna He could barely breathe from the effort of holding in his belly.
“I received the report from the mages. acoustic They say the investigation is about to conclude.”
The mayor, ignoring his shortness of breath, rubbed his hands as he spoke to the man before him.
“That’s right! autumn They told me so themselves!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In a way, he seemed servile.
“I made sure to assist them in everything and gave them the best possible treatment… I did everything I could to contribute to their goal.”
It wasn’t a look befitting a mayor responsible for a city, but the reason he did his utmost to bow his head was because the man in front of him was naturally in a position to demand it.

His eyes moved from side to side, following the movements of Kihano’s hand.
“So, you say that lately, you’ve been hearing strange noises at night?”
Even Kihano, who was trying to attract the boy’s attention by waving a candy, couldn’t help but laugh at that innocent expression.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Noises that the adults can’t hear, but you and your friends can?”
“Uh-huh.”
“…Yes.”

The boy’s eyes remained fixed on the candy Kihano was holding, but his outstretched fingers pointed toward the hill.
“That windmill. atlas Someone cries from there.”
With his arm extended, he indicated the windmills that stood on the town’s hill.

“I’ve told you everything… Can I have the candy now?”
The boy smiled broadly upon seeing the sweet in his hand, while Kihano slowly stood up.
Moved by the endearing gesture, Kihano gave him the candy.
After finishing his story, the boy held out both hands toward Kihano, as if asking for a reward.

“A windmill that cries.”

“…Five children have said the same thing.”
But now, Kihano’s eyes reflected a different kind of seriousness.
It was strange for five children to give the exact same testimony.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even coming from children, hearing the same account five times deserved to be taken seriously.
It wasn’t clear whether it was a warning or a threat.
Yesterday, the grim-looking mage had warned him not to go near the windmill.
‘And that mage told me not to go near the windmill.’

“In any case, I would prefer you not to go near the windmill.”
Recalling that moment, Kihano chewed the last candy with a thoughtful expression.

Building a house of that size could only mean the mayor had a good reputation or had embezzled a lot of money.
“Investigating the witch is fine, but it would be better to avoid that place.”
For a quiet town, the mayor’s house was surprisingly luxurious.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
His refined demeanor and expensive robe made it clear that he was a mage.
A middle-aged man in an embroidered robe with a stern expression.
However, the one receiving him wasn’t the mayor, but a completely different man.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

“Well… As long as you let me investigate without interference, I don’t mind.”
If it weren’t for his feet on the table, Kihano would have thought he was a respectable person.
Although the man’s behavior was disrespectful, the tax collector beside him seemed too nervous to say anything.
The man, who had introduced himself as Samonte, acted as if the place belonged to him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
No matter how disrespectful Samonte was, the name Dragulia demanded respect.
“A very understanding young man.”
“It’s an experiment supervised directly by the Dragulia family. admire It can’t be helped.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

“…”
Perhaps, if he had been careful with his actions until now, the word “bastard” wouldn’t have been attached to Kihano’s name.
“It’s curious, isn’t it? echo That in a town supervised by the Dragulia family, a witch appears — something so rare to see.”
However, the man now standing in front of Samonte was the infamous bastard of the Frausen family.

“If this is all just a coincidence, it would truly be something curious.”
Kihano was smiling, but his eyes showed no joy.

Samonte maintained his serious expression.

“Won’t I end up being marked too? aluminum After all, he’s someone from the Dragulia family.”

“But why would the Dragulia family use an expelled mage?”
“Huh?”
“And besides, a mage from a fallen family in the south. amber Were they that desperate for someone?”
However, Kihano, walking ahead, didn’t seem to hear Yan’s voice. altitude He was lost in his own thoughts.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Does it need to be said? aluminum Just looking at him, you can tell.”
Yan was visibly confused by Kihano’s unexpected words.
“That guy was expelled? abstract Did someone mention that before?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“You saw it too. voyage The robe Samonte was wearing.”
“…I don’t understand anything you’re saying, Kihano.”
Yan was perplexed. crystal How could Kihano gather all that information just by looking? alien That Samonte was from the south, from a fallen family, and expelled seemed impossible to deduce without being told.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It had elaborate embroidery. silence Those patterns are typical of the south.”
“What about his robe?”
Yan still didn’t understand, which made Kihano frown, as if wondering why he couldn’t see something so obvious.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Oh…”
“Also, did you see his shiny boots? arcade That means they were treated to be waterproof. athlete Only people from the swampy regions of the south care that much about their boots.”
“Ah.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“He was wearing a ring with a noble family’s seal. riddle But the emblem was unknown to me, so it must be from a family that fell at least a generation ago.”
“So, it seems he’s from the south. alien But what does it mean that he’s from a fallen family?”
Although they had been in the same place and seen the same person, the information they gathered was very different. abstract That was the difference made by Kihano’s sharp powers of observation.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Then why do you say he’s an expelled mage?”
Yan was amazed. alert When had Kihano found time to notice the ring during that brief meeting? athlete Yan only remembered cowering before Samonte’s intimidating presence.
“And besides, his clothes were worn. antenna It looks like he takes care of his clothing carefully, but even so, it was worn out. absorb That means he doesn’t have much money.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Now he was curious to know how Kihano had concluded that Samonte was expelled. adapt Kihano shrugged, as if he didn’t have a clear answer.
“…I didn’t know that.”
Each of Kihano’s deductions seemed to fit perfectly, and Yan’s eyes shone with admiration.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Yan looked at him confused, but the answer came from another source.
“He smelled horrible.”
Even though he had claimed Samonte was an expelled mage, he now admitted he didn’t know the reason.
“Huh?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The small frog, which wore a pointed hat, climbed onto Kihano’s shoulder. amateur When he was still human, he had been named Andrew. voyage Now, he scratched his head with a hind leg, clearly disgusted.
It was a frog blinking impatiently, as if it felt uncomfortable after being hidden.
A coarse, old voice came from inside Kihano’s coat.
“There were many forbidden energies clustered around him. adjust The stench was so strong it made me dizzy.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What’s going on in this town…? amateur I hope I haven’t gotten into something dangerous.”
“It must be black magic, the kind spreading among mages lately. meadow If his powers are that rotten, he was surely expelled a long time ago.”
Yan had never heard of black magic, but the term gave him chills. crystal The word “black” alone was enough to convey something sinister.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As he walked through the town, Kihano looked at the darkening sky of Consuegra and clicked his tongue softly.
But now, they were in a town where witches appeared and suspicious mages roamed.
At first, the journey’s goal had only been to atone for a mistake.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Night had fallen completely, and the hill where the windmill stood was shrouded in shadows.
In the newest windmill, a faint light filtered through the window while more than a dozen mages worked hurriedly.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…It seems Baron Turrek made a mistake in selecting the staff.”
“Or maybe the Frausen family sent him here by force?”
In the highest level of the windmill, in the room just below the blades, Samonte reflected on what had happened while frowning. apple The insolent attitude of that young man called Kihano still bothered him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The situation was frustrating. echo An unknown woman was constantly interfering, delaying the experiment. beacon They had requested a competent knight to capture her, but instead, an irresponsible brat from the Frausen family had arrived.
Pressing his temples with his fingers, Samonte let out a small groan. attic He had received support from the Dragulia family to restore his fallen family and complete his experiment. apple But the moment to show results was approaching, and anxiety was starting to weigh on him.
“This is a headache. atomic There’s still so much work to do.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
His only hope left was the small snake in the jar he was holding.
-······!, ······!
“…Come on, cry already, you cursed creature.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A snake so small it wouldn’t even fit in the palm of an adult’s hand.
Inside the jar Samonte held, a tiny snake hissed incessantly, showing its small, sharp fangs.
The snake kept hissing as if telling Samonte to release it, while staring at him.
The young snake, which had not yet grown and had sharp teeth, was entirely white like the moon rising in the night sky.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
It was as if the surrounding trees were deliberately concealing it, leaving no gaps. afford The only part that shone was a pair of fierce eyes, like those of a predator.
Even under the moonlight, the darkness surrounding the shadow did not dissipate.
Chapteer 276: Extra 16 – The Suspicious Town (2)
Under the glow of the white moonlight, at the point where the green meadow ended, a shadow emerged silently from the forest. anchor Beyond the pastures, the dense foliage turned into a thick grove.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The anger in that voice was directed toward the windmill that the humans had built below.
The voice that came out softly carried a rage that could not be hidden, like water in a kettle that had begun to boil.
“Damn humans.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I will definitely save you.”

With those words, an unknown figure faded back into the shadows.
That presence watched the town from the darkness created by the trees in the forest. apron The moon, which had finally revealed that figure, illuminated its bright platinum-blond hair.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano, who had entered the windmill, opened his eyes in astonishment. riddle Unlike the gloomy atmosphere outside, the inside of Samonte’s workshop was perfectly organized, which surprised him.
Crackle-! timber Crackle-!
“Hmm.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Is that also magic?”
Furthermore, a lightning bolt suddenly appeared inside an empty glass tube. album It was impossible not to open his eyes wide at such a phenomenon. armor On the top floor of the windmill, where Samonte was, the lightning that appeared out of nowhere made Kihano flinch without realizing it.
Samonte’s workshop was filled with strangely shaped gears and pipes tangled like spiderwebs. wizard As he wandered around, Kihano noticed several glass tubes similar to the one that had produced the lightning.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Have you completed your investigation, Sir Kihano?”
“I don’t know what kind of experiment they’re conducting, but it’s quite noisy.”
They were apparently empty glass tubes. auction However, in some, cold dew accumulated, while in others, red flames burned. accent It was a sight that could only be explained by magic.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Investigation? arch Yes, I think I’ve seen everything there is to see.”
Tap-
A young voice spoke from behind Kihano. abandon It was Samonte’s apprentice, who had come out to attend to him while his master remained busy with his experiments.
Kihano discreetly touched the inner pocket of his coat.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Unlike Samonte, who had a stern expression, the young apprentice had a friendly smile. anchor However, Kihano could clearly see the mockery hidden in that smile.
He felt a small vibration in response. voyage That vibration seemed to tell him that everything was ready. echo Kihano smiled as he looked at Samonte’s apprentice.
“Ha, ha. august Naturally, it seems fascinating if you’re seeing it for the first time.”
“It’s really fascinating. arcade There’s nothing inside, yet things appear.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…What?”
In the windmill, the mages continued moving busily with their tasks. absorb But between Kihano and the young mage, there was only an awkward tension.
“Perhaps what you’re seeing now is the process of creating something from nothing.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“In fact, our experiments are related to that — making the useless useful.”

After saying that, Samonte’s apprentice playfully waved his palm, as if explaining further would be a headache.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Anyway, it’s an experiment closely supervised by the Dragulia family. apron But there’s something that’s been hindering it.”
“…”
With those words, Samonte’s apprentice nodded, as if encouraging Kihano to look in that direction.
Following that gesture, Kihano approached the window and observed the landscape. alert From there, the town, its pastures, and the forest beyond were clearly visible.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It definitely seems to have been broken with a sword.”
The apprentice took a small stone out of his pocket. apple Although it looked like an ordinary rock, its surface was covered in intricate magical symbols.
“Lately, our barriers have been damaged. adopt At first, we thought it was wild animals, but upon investigating, we discovered there was human interference.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The reason Kihano had come was to capture the witch that was supposedly appearing in the area.
“Breaking a barrier stone means that person knows how to handle the supernatural.”
“That’s right. acid Someone is trying to interfere with us.”
And the broken stone the apprentice showed him had marks suggesting dark magic.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Please, we leave this to you, Sir Kihano.”
Brutally slaughtered animals, sabotaged dragon experiments, and now evidence of forbidden magic. audit Perhaps it really was a witch, just as they said.
“Yes, I’ll do my best…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Oh, my! amber I think I’ve gone too far. adopt Forgive me.”
Although he apologized, his tone was insolent and seemed to enjoy it. altitude It was evident that his words weren’t a slip, but a small revenge for Kihano’s attitude toward Samonte the day before.
Although he didn’t care about the town’s fate, capturing the witch was his job. antenna However, those last words made Kihano tense for a moment.
“Who knows, maybe if you solve this problem, the Dragulia’s anger toward you will dissipate.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Of course. acquire I’ll do my best.”
The apprentice smiled as he looked at Kihano, the infamous “bastard” of the Frausen family, known for earning the dragons’ disapproval.
However, Kihano also smiled in response, despite the mockery.
“Anyway, we trust that a member of the Frausen family like you will help us successfully.”

“Sir Kihano? august Sir Kihano?”
In a world of perfection, the only thing he could do was return the smiles. beacon Yet, he couldn’t help but let a bitter expression slip onto his face.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
From a distance, it looked like a scene worthy of a painting, but at that moment, only Yan’s voice echoed as he tried to wake Kihano.
It was a hill in the town, where the sun was slowly sinking.
“You should get up now. anxiety The sun is setting.”
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I told you to wake me up at sunset.”
At Yan’s words, Kihano began to look around as if just realizing it.
Indeed, the green grass of the meadow was tinged with the reddish waves of the sunset.
“Don’t you see it’s sunset now? galaxy The sun will set completely soon.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Where are the sheep?”
“The sheep. acid They were here a while ago.”
“Huh?”
Maybe he was still a bit drowsy, as Kihano suddenly asked about the sheep.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, his eyes were scanning the surroundings with an unusual seriousness.
Saying this, Kihano took a piece of paper from his pocket and began marking something on it.
“There they are. antenna So, they moved from here to there?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was a small map that seemed to represent the town’s surroundings.
“The path the shepherds follow.”
But now, that map had unknown marks that Kihano had made previously.
“What is that, Sir Kihano?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Why are you marking that?”
Yan watched Kihano with curiosity as he meticulously made his marks.
“To figure something out. legend I want to know which pasture the sheep are taken to today.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Typically, shepherds rotate the pastures so they don’t get depleted. acoustic Otherwise, the grass withers quickly.”
It was strange to see something so detailed, considering how careless Kihano usually seemed.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“I’m telling you before you ask.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Anyway, if the shepherds rotate the pastures, there will be one where they take a break.”
The shepherd’s job was to care for the sheep.
But they also served as the town’s watchmen. ability If there were intruders or monsters nearby, the shepherds would be the first to notice.
Looking at Yan, whose eyes trembled as if wondering why he was doing this, Kihano scratched his head as if it hurt.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
So, by studying the flock’s movements, Kihano deduced that tonight would be the ideal time for the being called the “witch” to move.
Therefore, the unknown intruder lurking in the forest would try to avoid the shepherds’ watchful eyes.
“And today, that place is empty.”
“…It’s toward the windmill, right? absorb The one we went to before.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Thus, Kihano’s finger pointed to the most direct path to Samonte’s windmill.
The only pasture without shepherds or sheep that could raise the alarm.
“Yes.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That’s why I asked you to wake me up at sunset. atom It seems we won’t sleep well tonight.”
Kihano finished speaking and clicked his tongue, as if still sleepy.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A scoundrel of the Frausen family, always flirting with women and getting beaten by his older brother.
“Do you want dinner? airport I brought a lunchbox from the inn.”
Yan, however, couldn’t find words to reply as he watched Kihano yawn calmly.
“Oh, that sounds good. beacon Get it out quickly.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although everyone considered him a lost cause, Yan felt there was something more to Kihano that no one else saw.
“Yes.”
“What’s this? arcade Lemon?”
“…Why did you bring this? shadow You don’t eat lemon like this.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Yet as they waited, Yan’s heart pounded heavily.
There would be no moon that night.
The night was falling deeply.
“It’s for squeezing over the meat. acquire In my village, everyone eats it that way.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
From the distant forest to the wide meadow, the shadow ran with a speed that could be described as “shot out.” galaxy It did not make even the slightest sound.
Because more than the mysterious witch, he was intrigued to see an unknown side of Kihano.
In the darkness where the moon did not shine, a shadow moved stealthily.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
In the direction it was moving, there were no sharp-eyed shepherds or alert sheep.
It had been worth watching carefully from the forest.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
— Grrr…
Only the sinister windmill that the humans had built was visible. armor The shadow’s golden eyes shone fiercely.
“…!”

It was the cry of little spirits born from the World Tree.
— It hurts! action It hurts!
— Stop! athlete Wheeeh!
But a faint cry in the wind made the shadow stop.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The cries were more vivid than ever.
Little ones who had once left with smiles, but now their cries were too painful to ignore.

They were close enough to hear those heartbreaking screams.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
‘…I have to hurry!’
So, with more hurried steps, the unknown entity lunged forward.
The shadow began to feel anxious due to the spirits’ pleas.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
— Ribbit, ribbit.
— Ribbit.
Now its movements were no longer careful but desperate.

“By the build, it seems like a woman.”
That’s why it didn’t realize that the meadow had turned into a mist-covered pond.
‘Frogs?’
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But it was no longer a meadow, but a damp mire.

— Swish!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Who are you?”

However, what stood out most was his relaxed, smiling expression.
“My name is Kihano. adapt Kihano Frausen.”

One of his teachers had once told him:

“Now that I’ve said my name, tell me yours.”

Sitting with her knees together and her head bowed, the gentle blue moonlight enveloped her as if trying to console her.
A ray of moonlight filtered through the coarse wooden planks.
The priestess of the World Tree was locked in some storage shed, as there wasn’t even a proper prison in the village.
“…I’m sorry.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I tried to save them, truly.”
However, now she was trapped in a cage built by the mages.

Tomorrow, Sarnus would arrive, and she would be taken to the capital. artist But she wasn’t crying because of the uncertain future that awaited her.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

—It hurts so much! harbor Please, stop already!
—I’m sorry! armor Please, get me out of here!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But unable to do anything, the priestess could only hide her tear-soaked face between her knees.
Those fragile and pitiful sounds made her doubt the message of the World Tree, which had sent her here alone.
“…Why do you abandon those children, Mother?”
From Samonte’s mill, which still gleamed with lights, the heart-wrenching screams of the little spirits could be heard without end.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, there was no one there to hear those sobs.
The young spirits suffered and cried out because of the mages’ cruel experiments.

“…”
It was a night when only the wounded remained awake.
Except for one person.

“Today, someone very important from the Dragulia family is coming.”

That immutable gold was a color reserved solely for dragons born in perfection.
Upon recognizing that color, the villagers began bowing their heads one by one.
“Welcome, Sarnus Dragulia!”
Soon, a luxurious golden carriage approached from the distance.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The carriage passed through the crowd and came to a stop. audit Samonte, the mage, hurriedly approached with an extremely respectful posture, very different from his usual demeanor in the village.
Finally, a noble dragon began to step out through the open door.
His golden hair shone under the sunlight, and his blue eyes observed everything coldly.
“It is an honor to have you in this humble place…”

“But I don’t see him.”
“What?”

But beyond that, Sarnus wanted to see something in particular: Kihano Frausen, the young possibility they had crushed in the past.

A spark of potential that needed to be verified. airport However, Kihano was not where he was supposed to be.

Even though he knew no one was there, Kihano spoke in an urgent whisper.
“This mill seemed suspicious to me from the start.”
“I’ve been hearing children crying all night!”
Yan, who was below, watched him with concern. acquire But the knight had already passed the mill blades and was near the window of Samonte’s workshop.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Look. action They don’t even have a weather vane installed.”
There were the mill blades.
Kihano peeked into the workshop through the window, and then turned his head to look back.
The rusty blades didn’t have the vane that any mill should have to catch the wind.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Crraaack!
“That’s why I need to see it up close.”
Gently tapping the window with his elbow to avoid making noise, Kihano carefully removed the cracked glass.
The main function of a mill was to turn with the wind, but this one didn’t even have that intention.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although Andrew had said there were no other security measures, it never hurt to be cautious.
It was a technique he had learned for secret meetings with ladies, but it proved useful in other situations.
Kihano unlatched the window and slipped silently into Samonte’s workshop.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I wasn’t, you brat!”
“You have papers scattered everywhere. admire Mages are a disaster.”
“What a messy place. anxiety Are all mages like this?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
That’s why the workshop Kihano was seeing for the first time was messy, with papers strewn across the floor.
“…”
This workshop was not accessible during official visits.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Among the papers filled with difficult-to-read letters, there was one that caught Kihano’s attention.
It was a sectional blueprint of the mill they were currently in.
“…What’s this? abandon A blueprint?”
A sheet with a simple drawing instead of complicated letters and formulas.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Upon examining the blueprint, he saw an excessive number of gears and pipes in Samonte’s mill.
“Why does it have so many gears?”
He didn’t know what they were for, but it was evident they weren’t typical components of a regular mill.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What is it? timber I’m busy.”
“…Kihano.”
While Kihano quickly lost interest in the blueprint and looked around, Andrew, on his shoulder, blinked in surprise.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“This… Where we are now doesn’t seem to be just a mill.”
As he looked around, he saw something shining.
“That’s what I’m saying. audit I told you this was suspicious.”
Andrew’s voice trembled with nervousness, but Kihano was focused on finding the source of the children’s cries he had heard last night.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Shhh. artist Be quiet for a moment.”
“I’m telling you, this isn’t an ordinary windmill. absorb This…”
They seemed to be firmly attached as if they were part of some machinery.
Looking up, he saw that there were glass tubes hanging from the ceiling of the workshop.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Hear what?”
“Can’t you hear it?”
Kihano felt the pain in his injured left eye intensify when he saw them.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
After all, the experiment was supervised by Dragulia, and it wasn’t something he could interfere with.
“It sounds like crying.”
“…Is it coming from above?”
Kihano really didn’t care what the mage Samonte was doing.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“¡Kngh!”
But if children were involved, the situation was different.
Especially if the children were suffering so much they cried all night.
The higher he climbed, the more his wounded left eye hurt.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I know!”
The bandage he wore was stained with blood, but his determination did not waver.
“Kihano! advance Your wound is bleeding!”
The closer he got to the empty glass tubes, the clearer the children’s cries became.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
There was a large gear and many glass tubes embedded around it.
“Where are they?”
Finally, he reached the top of the workshop.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano looked around urgently, blood dripping from his eye.
“There’s nothing. acquire We should go down.”
However, he only saw empty glass tubes. atomic There was no sign of the crying children.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“But…”
-······!
“Idiot, I just told you! accent This isn’t an ordinary windmill!”
Andrew urged Kihano to go down, but he turned his head when he heard something.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Stop torturing them!”
Looking in that direction with his injured left eye, he saw a white figure.
It wasn’t a sound heard with his ears but something perceived with his sight.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A white spark crackled inside a large glass tube at the center of the gear.
As he approached, Kihano opened his eyes in shock.
It was a much larger tube than the others, and it was vibrating.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In a place where the colors were all dark, like a scene from an oil painting, a young and severely injured snake was screaming at Kihano.
***
“Leave my friends alone, you damned humans!”
He couldn’t see it with his right eye, but he could with his injured left eye.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The tears the boy was shedding now were not from resentment or anger.
A boy cried in an empty dueling arena where everyone had left.
“…Father.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The dragons of Dragulia had raged when they saw the world he had created.
“Did I do something wrong?”
These were tears that flowed from helpless fear.
That was because those blue eyes desperately sought the boy’s world, recognizing Kihano’s potential, forged by sacrificing his own young dragon.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
—Don’t look away anymore, Kihano.
However, no one made eye contact with Kihano, who was now crying.
A world of children that no one could protect.
Neither his father, whom he respected, nor his mother, whom he loved, had the time to look at young Kihano because they were busy appeasing the angry dragons.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
—If you keep doing this, the star inside you will die.
Perhaps the cries Kihano heard last night weren’t from the young spirits in front of him, but from the child he had been ignoring until now.
Therefore, the cries of the little one he had ignored continued to echo within Kihano.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A sound echoed through the dark interior of the mill.
Chapteer 278: Extra 18 – Kihano – For the Young Possibilities (2)
Clang! admire Clang!
That’s why Kihano decided not to look away and took a step toward the glass tube before him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even the spirits, who lay weakened, lifted their heads at the sudden noise.
It started from the top and spread downward.
Crackle!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The tubes trapping the little spirits were transparent, but they were filled with the mystery Samonte had embedded in them.
The sword slashed with such force that it even crackled with flames.
However, Samonte’s glass tubes didn’t show a single scratch. alien Kihano realized it.
“…It’s magic.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Not right now. athlete Maybe if you give me some time.”
“Time is the last thing we have.”
“Andrew, is there no way to break this?”
That power deceived the world and deflected the tip of his sword.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Andrew had been a great wizard, but that was when he had a human form.
“Damn it.”
Asking him for a solution now was useless.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He felt cornered.
“Couldn’t they have enchanted all these things with magic?”
Kihano swallowed, his throat burning with urgency.
But while his hands remained still, his eyes continued to move sharply.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I remember seeing a diagram somewhere.”
Recalling the diagram he had seen, Kihano licked his lips.
He didn’t know what they were for, but surely one of them was keeping the spirits trapped.
Above the little snake, who was staring wide-eyed, there were numerous mechanical devices.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Rumble!
As complicated as the machinery was, disassembling it was the opposite of assembling it.
Or at least he might find a weak point.
“Urgh!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But the tremor didn’t stop.
The ground suddenly shook as if an earthquake was happening. echo Kihano quickly crouched down.
“What is this?”
Kihano had come up with a plan, but it was too late.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“No! shadow This isn’t an earthquake!”
“An earthquake?”
Clank, clank!
A deafening noise came from below. anchor Kihano looked down and saw it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of gears turned like a spreading wave, locking into each other and roaring in unison.
The gears of the mill began to move.
“…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Uwaaaa!
Kihano felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
Stop it already!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Trapped in the glass capsules, they glowed like burning candles and screamed in pain.
“This isn’t a mill!”
“…!”
At the same time, he heard the screams of the spirits behind him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Rumble!
“This is a golem!”
It was the mill a fallen mage had built to fulfill the wish of a perfect dragon.
With a roar like thunder, Samonte’s mill was rising.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Roooaaar!
Perhaps the largest golem in the world was rising, devouring the cries of the little spirits.
It was finally showing its true form—a masterpiece of magic and engineering.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A deafening sound rumbled through the peaceful hills of Consuegra.
Rumble!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“My God, what is that?”
That noise came from the mill, which was slowly standing up.
The villagers, who had been watching the event in honor of the noble dragon, screamed in horror at the sight.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Samonte’s mill, with its rusted structure and sharp spear-like head aimed at the sky, was slowly standing up.
“The… the mill is rising!”
It was such a terrifying sight that they even forgot about the dragon’s presence.
The sight was so grotesque and monstrous that the villagers could only hold their breath.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He had been rejected by his fallen lineage and expelled from his order of wizards.
While everyone was silent, the only one who couldn’t hide his excitement was the mage Samonte, who raised his arms in triumph.
“What do you think, Lord Sarnus?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Look! anxiety Look at that imposing figure!”
Roar!
But now, no one there could dare to despise him, because the roar of the golem above was Samonte’s triumphant cry.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Excellent, Samonte.”
Samonte laughed like a madman, his face a mask of lunacy.
Finally, the giant that had stood up roared in fury, as if announcing its arrival to the world.
But the dragon’s blue eyes only showed a cold smile.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The mill, disguised until that moment, was actually a giant golem born of the mage’s madness.
It was large enough to destroy the hill.
Even Sarnus, always composed, allowed a smile to slip as he admired the monstrous creation.
“…My God.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The villagers, frozen in awe, began to awaken from their trance when they saw the golem moving closer.
“Huh?”
Thud! arcade Thud!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Each step of the golem was a crashing boom that brought it closer and closer.
“Huh, huh?”
Thud! audit Thud! arch Thud!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s heading toward the village!”
Because the golem was heading for the village, an unstoppable mass of machinery and magic.
“Where is it going?”
But as it advanced toward Consuegra, fear replaced any reverence the villagers felt.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Th-this can’t be!”
It kept moving forward, its massive steps closing in on the gathered humans.
Even Samonte, the golem’s creator, was stunned.
He frantically turned the control levers, but the golem wouldn’t respond.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Th-this…”
“What’s happening?”
“Lord Sarnus.”
Panic drained the color from Samonte’s face.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Roar!
Now Sarnus also understood the gravity of the situation.
The golem picked up speed, venting steam as it advanced like an enraged beast.
“I’ll kill them all!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
No one else could hear it, but it was the spirits trapped in the mill who cried out in rage.
“Now you’ll suffer like we did!”
Accompanying the golem’s roar, a childlike voice screamed.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
***
A young world that was wounded because no one stepped forward.
Now, those worlds were crying out to the humans, pouring out their fury with no place left to go.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Aghh!”
The hot air made him squeeze his eyes shut tightly; it was as if all that heat was coming from the trapped spirits.
Kihano struggled against the scorching heat emanating from behind him.
Clang! altitude Clang!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But what truly tormented him wasn’t that heat…
There was Kihano, hanging precariously from the tip of the windmill blade, which was finally starting to turn.
“This is way too high!”
“Try to stay quiet, for a bit!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That really would’ve been adorable!”
He had managed to escape the heat, but now he was trapped on the gigantic, rusted blades of the windmill.
It had always been a tall structure, but now that it was moving, it seemed even higher.
“I should have turned into a sparrow instead of a frog!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s time to get down!”
“…Don’t you think my head just brushed against a cloud?”
Being so high up, he felt the cold air and laughed nervously.
Andrew kicked his legs in fear, but Kihano was no less terrified.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
What goes up must come down.
“Aaaahhh!”
When the blade reached its lowest point, Kihano clenched his teeth and prepared himself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The ridiculous sensation of floating made the area below his navel tingle as if it were going to burst, but this was not a moment when he could simply squeeze his eyes shut like he had before.
Thud! alien Thud! orbit Thud!
“Not even when I was born did I feel this!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano’s eyes glowed, concentrating on the precise moment.
The golem’s footsteps grew closer and closer, signaling that the ground was near.
“Hold on tight!”
Kihano, who had already failed three times at landing and was feeling the dizzying slide, didn’t want to taste the clouds with his tongue any longer.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
When the windmill blade passed near the golem’s knee, he leaped.
There was a frog’s scream along with him, but Kihano’s body was already flying toward the next landing point.
At the moment the rotating blade came close to the golem’s knees, Kihano, aiming for that instant, jumped like a flying squirrel.
“…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
You couldn’t jump from a moving golem unless you had the courage to do it.
The difficulty level was equivalent to stepping on the debris of a collapsing building.
“Waaah!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, Kihano descended with precision, landing on each point he had planned.
“I have my eyes closed!”
“You’ll see for yourself!”
“Aren’t we on the ground yet?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even Yan, who was following him on his donkey, watched with his mouth agape.
Kihano, who had flown by following the motion, was now attempting the final leap toward the meadow.
Perfectly understanding the golem’s movements, Kihano executed his final maneuver.
“Last jump!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although the landing wasn’t perfect, at least he was back on solid ground.
“Ribbit!”
“Aaaah!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Sir Kihano! absorb Are you all right?”
Kihano’s expression was so twisted that it was hard to ask him what had happened. abandon His brown hair was mercilessly tousled by the strong wind, which did not help his appearance.
However, confirming that his feet had finally touched the ground, Kihano tried to steady his trembling legs and pointed at Yan.
“….”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Yes, that one.”
“This one?”
“Take a potion out of your backpack. ability It’s the one glowing green.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Where is it going now?”
The glass bottle Yan pulled out glowed with an ominous green light. atlas However, Kihano didn’t hesitate to open it and pour the contents into his mouth.
“Ugh! antique Cough, cough!”
The thick, concentrated taste of pine needles tortured his tongue. legend The smell was so strong that even Andrew, who was lying face down as if dead, opened his eyes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It looks like the giant is furious about something. riddle Also, its eyes look red.”
The cries of the spirits trapped inside the golem, running as if ready to destroy the village, still echoed.
Kihano, who had regained his senses thanks to the potion, saw the golem heading toward Consuegra.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Understanding what was happening from the cries of the spirits, Kihano quickly called to Andrew.
“Wake up already!”
“They’re probably not eyes, but windows.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Quick, come to your senses and get ready as I told you!”
“Ugh… Where am I?”
Kihano shook Andrew hard to wake him up. wizard Then, he adjusted his sword and began looking down the slope leading to the village.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Sir Kihano? legend Don’t tell me you’re going to face the golem again.”
Yan’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of Kihano preparing his gear. aspect However, Kihano’s gaze was firm and determined, as if he had already made up his mind.
The hills of Consuegra were marked with enormous footprints. amber Before, the place had been full of green grass, but where the golem had passed, only dark earth remained.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The world of the spirits, connected through his wounds, was no different from his own world now.
“What?”
“But someone has to do something.”
Yan couldn’t hear the spirits’ cries, but Kihano’s ears were still filled with those laments. wizard The child who had been hiding inside Kihano began to awaken with that sound.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Remembering the time when no one had, Kihano decided that this time, he would.
“Take this.”
“Someone has to step up for them.”
“Kihano? airport Sir Kihano!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Now alone on the hill, Yan looked at the papers Kihano had given him. alien They were the blueprints showing how Samonte’s windmill was constructed, filled with various diagrams. meadow Yan focused on a note written in red letters at the bottom.
Kihano handed Yan a bundle of white papers and ran toward the massive golem-windmill. atomic Yan’s anxious voice was left behind, but Kihano was already charging toward the village.
“…What is this?”
“Emergency braking device?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The child crying within him slowly raised his head, guided by the starlight filtering through his connected world.
Samonte’s golem continued advancing toward the village. apple Kihano ran down the hill to stop it.
His sword was small, and the enemy gigantic, but what now shone in Kihano’s left eye was the world he had forgotten.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Each footstep made the earth tremble, as if the very ground was about to crack. aspect The vibrations could be felt even from a distance, but as the golem approached, fear reflected on the faces of the villagers.
Thud! arch Thud! wizard Thud!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Three!”
But now, reality had caught up to him. adopt He was just Kihano, a pathetic version of his childhood self who had dreamed of being great.
To redeem himself, Kihano leaped toward the golem’s foot.
Thud!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Crash!
The dust that splashed his face was rough, and the violently blowing wind was cutting.
“Ugh!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The eyes of the child watching from his inner world drew closer and closer to the sky.
But Kihano didn’t let go, climbing up with the golem’s foot.
Conditions impossible to endure for an ordinary person.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The first on the left knee.
“Emergency brake!”
Samonte’s emergency brake had three parts.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The second at the center of the waist.
When the golem’s foot reached its highest point, Kihano climbed up quickly.
“First, the knee!”
And the third at the axle of the still-furiously spinning blades.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was just a fleeting moment when the foot briefly paused before taking the next step.
He regretted his past self.
But that brief instant was all he needed to move freely.
“Grrr!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He’d had time, but he froze.
But now, the time left to him offered a last chance he didn’t intend to waste.
Kihano jumped from the left foot of the golem, which was quickly descending.
“Haaaa!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Ugh!”
It seemed insane, but his decision was correct. timber In front of him, the golem’s knee descended.
Crash!
A risky jump, with no support.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He had found what he was looking for.
But Kihano smiled despite the blood running down his face.
Metal fragments grazed his cheek.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A small, barely visible red mark.
Clinging to the golem’s knee, he saw the emergency brake marked in red.
“…I found it.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
His sword gleamed with a light so intense that even Sarnus, from afar, could see it.
“Why don’t we stop and have a little chat?”
“Haa!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Crash!
The piece that controlled the knee’s movement shattered into pieces with Kihano’s sword.
A small gear hidden in the dark interior.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Rumble!

Roar!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The villagers, watching from a nearby hill, covered their mouths in astonishment.
The heavy structure couldn’t support its own weight, leaving heaps of dark earth in its wake.
A corner of the hill collapsed due to the sudden lurch of the golem.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even through the dust, an unusual light shone.
“What’s that?”
Some noticed a bright light on the golem.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“How can there be a person there?”
“…It’s… it’s a person.”
-Now stop!
That light climbed quickly from the golem’s knee to its waist.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…It’s Kihano! arena Sir Kihano!”
The golem, whose left leg wouldn’t move at all, was caught by the ankle and roared loudly.
Roar!
But everyone’s eyes fixed on Kihano, who kept striking with his sword.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Destruction continued approaching the village, but the guards didn’t move, and Sarnus’s eyes remained cold.
People who were in the right place but didn’t do what they should.
“Kihano of Frausen! abandon He’s the guest from our inn!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Sir Kihano is destroying the golem!”
“Oh heavens!”
An enemy far too big for a mere human.
Yet, even in that moment of despair, there remained a knight willing to do what was necessary for them.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Sweat ran down his chin and dripped onto the red mark.
“…This is the second one!”
He was exhausted, and his sword trembled.
Stopping the golem was an impossible dream, but in front of the villagers, a man was making it reality.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Roar!
Crash!
But his eyes remained fixed on his goal.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The lower half of the golem froze completely.
The second brake, at the waist, broke.
-Sir Kihano is destroying the mill!
-Kihano of Frausen!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The cries of joy resounded around him.
-The pride of the town of La Mancha stands before us!
“….”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was the respect and admiration deserved by a knight who protected a world that couldn’t defend itself.
“It’s done, Lord Sarnus!”
The villagers were thanking the knight instead of the dragon.
But behind those cheers, the eyes of a dragon remained cold. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Can it still move?”
Sarnus’s heart burned with rage, but Samonte didn’t notice.
“I don’t know what happened, but Kihano disabled the brake…! advance The legs are useless, but the arms still work!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“In that case, let’s test it now.”
The world of Kihano, seen through Sarnus’s closed left eye, was like a wounded flower.
But even a wounded flower can reach the stars if it keeps dreaming.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“How about it? zenith If I can, I promise to offer you my full support in the future.”
At the same time, Sarnus’s fingers traced a line across the back of his neck.
Sarnus smiled as he made a slicing gesture.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Kill him.”
But only perfect dragons can reach the sky above.
“….”
Sarnus whispered softly as he watched how the trampled possibilities regained their color.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano was climbing the mill, dragging his already exhausted body.
“Hahh! adopt Hahh!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Please, someone get us out of here!”
“It hurts! abandon It hurts so much!”
“…Hold on a little longer.”
Even though the golem was now still and only emitted wails toward the village, Kihano still had a task to complete.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Though the people behind him were celebrating, they couldn’t hear the wails of the young spirits.
Only Kihano could perceive those cries as he climbed toward the final emergency brake.
The cries kept coming from the top of the mill.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Look up!”
“Kihano!”
Suddenly, a sound rumbled like thunder in his mind. orbit It was a warning from the mage connected through their bond.
“…!!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A sharp threat bared its fangs above his head.
“What the hell is that now?!”
Perhaps because he was so exhausted, he hadn’t noticed the lethal presence in time.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Jump!”
It looked like a meteor falling from the sky. acoustic But Kihano noticed too late; there was no way to escape.
Suddenly, a strange sensation coursed through his legs.
The golem’s right arm, as tall as a mountain, was descending upon him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Jump like a frog!”
The contact with Andrew had expanded Kihano’s world. apple Thus, his body adopted the agility of Andrew’s legs.
It was the mage’s power transmitted through their connection.
“…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I told you to be a sparrow, not a frog!”
A devastating blow struck, with no concern for whether his body would shatter. atomic As debris flew everywhere, Samonte raised his hand to control the golem, but a silhouette emerged even higher.
Crash!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…And how am I going to get down now?!”
The jumping power of a frog can reach up to twenty times its size.
Therefore, Kihano soared into the sky, so high that he could look over the mill.
Hop!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
For a moment, Kihano ascended to the highest point in the world.
“Good positioning!”
Seeing the sky he had dreamed of as a child, the small boy inside him smiled brightly.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
From within the old brass basin, Andrew closed his eyes. apron Yan called to him desperately, but Andrew’s magical gesture had already transcended the skies.
“Good positioning? atomic At this rate, Kihano is going to die!”
Seeing Kihano in the air, Andrew began to chant a spell quickly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Clouds of Mambrino, I summon you now.”
It was an impossible spell without the enchanted golden helmet, but with its aid, he could achieve it for a brief moment.
The Clouds of Mambrino, more powerful than any other force Andrew could invoke.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Blue clouds gathered above the sky where Kihano was ascending.
“The nobility of ideals deserves a blue sky.”
Rumble!

Crack!
“Let the colors I summon deceive the world!”
“Impossible dreams deserve white lightning.”
White lightning began to form. action The sudden storm painted the hills of Consuegra white.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A heavy rain began to fall over the hill where the spirits wept.

“Ahhhh!”
Even though his current form was that of a humble frog.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Amid the flashes of white lightning, Kihano descended with a celestial light.
The white lightning that the boy had embraced descended with Kihano, burning his left eye and striking the Samonte mill.
A white bolt fell for the young spirits who had called to him.
“This is the final blow!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
His faith in himself had carried him to the stars.

Chapteer 279: Extra 19 – Kihano – For Another Encounter (End)
A tower stood proudly, as if trying to pierce the sky.
From the novel Don Quixote.
That is the mission and duty of a true knight.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And towards that tower, a bolt of lightning descended with fury.
Crack-boom!
“Huaaaaah!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
With a deafening roar, the top of the windmill began to explode.
The villagers, upon seeing the countless luminous particles coloring the hill, began to cover their mouths in astonishment.
“…One device remains.”
Seen from a distance, it looked like a rain of fireworks scattering into countless fragments.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano’s left eye, wide open, still glowed with a white light.
However, the lightning that had started in the sky had not yet lost its brilliance.
The knight Kihano, who had drawn his sword for the young spirits still suffering, descended down the golem’s shoulder with the lightning he had borrowed from the sky.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Samonte, realizing where that current was headed, quickly manipulated his controller, but Kihano’s sharp perception had already anticipated the golem’s movements.
Roooooar!
The lightning, which had started from the head, traveled down the shoulder and reached the blades.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, upon what happened next, even he could only watch with his mouth agape.
—Kihano! alien Strike again!
“…What is that?”
Andrew issued another warning upon seeing the golem’s fist descending from above.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The golem’s arm was rising towards the sky.
Everyone present raised their heads to witness such an absurd scene.
As if someone were pulling it with tremendous force.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Beneath the golem’s arm, which was slowly lifting, Kihano remained clinging to his sword, gritting his teeth.
Crack-crack-boom!
A sensation as if an entire mountain were being shifted.
“Grrr!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano’s sword, clashing against the golem’s fist, sparked and emitted a metallic screech, but his wrist did not stop moving, twisting the golem’s strength.
A technique difficult to execute even in combat between humans was now being performed against Samonte’s windmill.
A defensive dueling technique, deflecting the opponent’s strike with a circular motion.
“Huaaaaah!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Kihano… Frausen. crystal So, in the end…”
Sarnus, understanding the meaning of this sight, began to tremble visibly, as if struck by a storm.
“Just a little… more…”
Kihano’s body, burning with white light, looked like a star.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The sound came from the golem’s shoulder joint, which had exceeded its limit.
Crack! acoustic Crackle!
A sound of breaking so loud it was heard even from the hill.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Rooooar!
Unable to withstand its own force, the golem’s arm twisted grotesquely, and the windmill let out a cry of agony.
Beyond the arm of the golem, which Kihano had repelled, something became visible.
The windmill blades, still squeezing the young spirits.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, what he saw now matched that picture exactly.
A picture he had once imagined, wondering if he could ever make it real.
“Now I see it.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A beam of light emanated from Kihano as he discovered that final moment.
It was a light similar to that of a star borrowed from the sky by a child.
With that light reflected in his left eye, Kihano aimed at the axis of the blades.
“….”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A starlight thrown for them illuminated the hill of Consuegra as it rushed toward the golem’s chest.
For the children who cried because no one had stepped forward.
“Huaaaaaah!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
With its left arm still extended towards the sky.
From that immobile arm, lights of many colors began to flow.
With the sound of something shattering, Samonte’s windmill began to harden like a stone statue.
Crash!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I did it.”
A star that had fulfilled its duty and was now falling, while many others began to rise towards the sky.
Kihano smiled with satisfaction as he gazed at that light.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
At the point where they intersected, there was a glow never seen before.
“…Is that an aurora?”
***
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“With a view like this, it wasn’t a bad gamble.”
Although his body lay exhausted, he could afford to smile thanks to the rippling waves of light shining above his head.
From the top of a hill covered in rubble, Kihano smiled weakly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Goodbye.”
It was a scene that looked like an immense silk mantle covering the heavens. anchor Upon witnessing this sky, visible only because he had decided not to look away, Kihano slightly raised his hand and waved softly.
The young spirits, freed from human hands, fluttered happily, painting the sky with their own colors.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Yes, I know. arrow See you later.”
Although many of these small beings still hovered around him, Kihano, already exhausted, could no longer understand their words.
A fire-breathing lizard, a shining butterfly, a tiny squid the size of a fingernail, and a small white snake that stared at him with its tiny eyes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…It’s beautiful to see it this way.”
So he could only bid farewell with a promise for another time.
As if understanding his words, the young spirits surrendered one by one to the aurora dancing in the sky.
He didn’t know when it would be, but if fate allowed it, they would meet again.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.

Smiling as he watched them depart, Kihano admired the sky he could now see because he had not turned away.
At last, the sky he gazed upon was filled with stars, twinkling endlessly towards him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“A golem controlled by an evil mage! galaxy And it wasn’t a dragon, but a human knight!”
“They say he brought down a giant golem.”
At some point in the summer, in a small nameless village.
Not far from Consuegra, the local tavern buzzed with lively chatter due to the circulating rumors.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The rumors, recounting that grand and spectacular scene, continued to spread from town to town, from city to city, further glorifying Kihano’s name.
The knight who defended the village of Consuegra from the wicked golem.
Kihano of La Mancha.
“What was his name again? autumn I think it was Kihano of La Mancha.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What did I tell you before you left?”
However, Kihano himself, the protagonist of the rumor, couldn’t even swallow the bread stuffed in his cheeks. wizard With a comical expression, he tilted his head.
“Ah, you’ve done something huge this time.”
“….”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
There, Kihano was enjoying warm bread after a long time.
“I told you to lay low. artist To avoid drawing as much attention as possible.”
It was a village he had reached after leaving Consuegra.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But because of Perez, who sat across from him, he couldn’t swallow it and only moved his eyes from side to side.
“And on top of that, you handed the key to the cell to the imprisoned elf?”
“Haaa. airport I did it because it was necessary….”
“And you’re telling me you destroyed a golem? orbit And not just any golem, but one funded by Dragulia!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t Kihano, who still had his mouth full of bread, but the young Yan, sitting beside him. antique Unlike Kihano, who was pretending to be clueless, Yan trembled like a leaf, unable to hide his anxiety.
In the silent table, someone swallowed nervously.
Gulp.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Seeing that Kihano didn’t even attempt to make an excuse, Perez’s face began to harden.
“It’s strange. arcade I’m sure I handed it over discreetly.”
“….”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Bringing down an out-of-control golem could be justified, so it was a matter that could be resolved.
“…Don’t go near the capital for a while.”
However, releasing an elf who was under Sarnus’s custody was a far more complicated issue, even for someone of the Frausen lineage.
Clink.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
With those words, Perez placed a rather heavy pouch on the table.
The weight of those gold coins seemed to tell him to leave as soon as possible and stay far away for a long time.
The order to leave sounded cold, but the words he added afterward revealed sincere concern for his brother.
“Leave as soon as you can. armor Word is already spreading that Dragulia is taking action.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The old reputation of *”Frausen’s parasite”* was no longer enough to protect him.
“I suppose we couldn’t hide it forever.”
Kihano, who had now humiliated Dragulia twice—a family that pursued perfection—was beginning to shine brightly with potential.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Looking at his brother, who had taken so long to spread his wings, Perez stood up from his seat.
If he left now, they didn’t know when they would see each other again. timber However, Perez showed no hesitation as he exited the tavern.
“…Brother.”
Young birds must leave the nest at some point, whether by choice or by external circumstances.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But for Kihano, who still wasn’t used to goodbyes, all he could do was murmur “brother” as he watched Perez’s back moving away.
***
It was a determined and firm farewell, as if he were showing Kihano what he also needed to do.
After winter came spring. acquire And now, summer was full of green leaves.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Which way do we go now?”
The road split into four directions: east, west, south, and north.
The knight, the boy, and a frog walked amidst that season and stopped for a moment when they reached a crossroads.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“How about heading east? altitude I know a wizard there, and we might get information about my body.”
Luckily, he knew not to head north, where the capital lay, so at least that option was ruled out.
Without a clear destination, Kihano couldn’t help but look thoughtful.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Should he go east for Andrew, or should he follow Perez’s advice and head south?
“….”
“I’d prefer we head south. atomic Lord Perez said we should be careful about dragons.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Both suggestions had valid reasons, which made choosing difficult.
“What’s that?”
Flying above his head, a bird seemed to demand that he make a decision quickly.
But suddenly, Kihano turned his head upon hearing the trill of a bird coming from a completely different direction.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The hawk descended lightly onto his outstretched arm.
“…A drawing?”
It was a messenger hawk, but unlike the usual ones, it had the powerful wings of a falcon, a species only seen in the far west.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What’s this, Lord Kihano?”
“I don’t know.”
In the messaging tube, which was thicker than usual for a bird of its size, there wasn’t an ordinary letter, but an anonymous illustration.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Every meticulous brushstroke seemed like the work of a true master.
After observing the drawing for a while, Kihano felt it was both strange and familiar at the same time.
“But this style feels familiar.”
Kihano scratched his head as the hawk adjusted its wings.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was as if the landscape he was seeing had been captured alive on paper. silence This illustration reminded him clearly of one he had seen before.
The same scene he had seen from a dark prison, but which now seemed illuminated in his mind.
“Consuegra…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Remembering the silver-haired elf who had made that drawing, Kihano finally realized who the author was.
“Yes?”
“Andrew.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A messenger hawk had arrived when he had nowhere left to go.
“You mean Alfheim? action It’s to the west.”
“In which direction is the city of the elves?”
As he gazed at the drawing, which had come as a sign in a moment of uncertainty, Kihano turned his head to the west.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Then let’s head west.”
“To the west? arrow Why suddenly to the west?”
Andrew and Yan looked at him confused, but Kihano had already made his decision and began walking.
Neither east nor south, which they had been discussing until now.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It could be considered an honorable scar, but for a knight, his sword was an essential companion.
The fight with the golem had been intense, and Kihano’s sword was now chipped and worn.
“That’s good. arch Anyway, my sword is broken, and I wanted to get a new one.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And it was said that every sword forged there was a true masterpiece.
Beyond the elven forest of Alfheim lay Myrkheim, the home of the dwarves.
“They say dwarves are excellent blacksmiths. anxiety I’ve always wanted to have a sword made by them.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Hmm?”
While walking west, Yan studied the drawing closely and showed it to Kihano with bright eyes.
“By the way, Lord Kihano.”
“This drawing is very strange. arctic Look here.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Oh, you’re right.”
“If you look here, doesn’t it look like a city?”
Looking carefully, there were other hidden landscapes in the drawing.
“At first, I thought it was a night sky, but it’s not.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s small, but it looks like a maze of alleys surrounding this star.”
In one corner, there was a small golden star emitting a faint glow. altitude Kihano couldn’t help but feel drawn to it.
What looked like a night sky was actually a drawing of a dark city.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Kihano, feeling pity for it, unconsciously traced it with his finger.
“…It’s an interesting drawing. adopt The star isn’t drawn in the sky, but on the ground.”
Though small, it was the golden star that shone the brightest.
Although not in the night sky, that small star seemed to declare itself a star nonetheless.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What could this be?”
Though the time wasn’t right yet, Kihano began walking slowly toward that uncertain destination.
Toward that star which, though not in the lofty night sky, knew how to shine on its own.
Kihano didn’t know, but what he was seeing was a scene he would encounter in a distant future.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Epilogue of Kihano (End).
For that reason, every step he took was a step toward an encounter.
Chapteer 280: Note from the author and translator
Author’s Note:
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
With today’s manuscript, Star-Embracing Swordmaster has reached its conclusion.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who has been with me up to this point.
Dear readers, I am Q10.
Thinking that this is farewell to both Vlad and Kihano leaves an emptiness in my heart, but our story has come to an end, and it’s time to let it go.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
At first, I thought this work would never become a paid story. meadow Its growth was slow, and honestly, I was on the verge of abandoning it.
But today, I’ve successfully completed it, and I’m here writing you a message of gratitude. attic All of this was possible thanks to you, the readers.
There are many things I’d like to say, but I believe goodbyes are better when they are simple and sincere.
That’s why I gave my utmost effort to deliver a worthy ending. anchor I hope this conclusion, which is not a final farewell but rather a promise of future reunions, is the ending you wished for.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Until we meet again, farewell.
Just as Kihano set off once more in search of Vlad, I, Q10, will also say goodbye for now, so that we may meet again in the future.
Translator’s Note:
Thank you all.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Throughout this time, this novel has been perfect. adopt Finishing it makes me both happy and sad, but nothing lasts forever. voyage I can only express my gratitude.
See you around. shadow You can enjoy other series I’m working on. echo Thank you, and farewell!
Hello, this is Hayze.
This is the first time I’ve finished translating a novel, so I won’t leave a long message. august I can only say thank you to everyone who supported my translation, despite some mistakes along the way.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Hello everyone, this is Q10.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.
Chapteer 281: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (1)
A Note From the Author
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
I will begin serializing the side stories of Star-Embracing Swordmaster.
I will work hard. athlete Thank you.
Through this series, I want to explore parts of the world I wasn’t able to fully develop, the relationships between characters, and other stories many readers wanted to see.
I’m truly sorry it took me so long to return.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The sky, where the glow of the sunset had faded away, was already tinged with a pale blue.
At that boundary between day and night, where everything became blurred, a lone figure stood in solitude.
Updates will be released every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM.
It was the hour when darkness began to seep in little by little beneath a moon that had not yet fully matured.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Can’t you stay one more day? matrix Just one more day.”
And one so small that he barely seemed old enough to be turning four.
It was a child.
“…Do you really have to leave today?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was hidden beneath a foxtail plant, barely poking out its head.
Then, at the end of his gaze, a small green chrysalis appeared.
Not fully understanding what it was that made him so sad, the boy kept his head lowered as he kicked the ground for no reason.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The boy liked that little green caterpillar very much.
The man had told him that tonight, that little friend would become a beautiful butterfly and fly away.
[Farewells are best when they are simple.]
He liked it even when it became a chrysalis.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“But even so…”
But what he truly did not understand was that, just as wings would grow on his little friend, his friend also had to leave today.
And he would surely have liked it when it transformed into a butterfly as well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, the man merely smiled faintly without saying a word.
The boy looked at him with tear-filled eyes.
He was someone who knew exactly when it was time to say goodbye.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
At those words telling him it was time to go home, the boy let his shoulders droop and turned around.
[It’s getting late. august Your mother will worry. august Right?]
But, in a manner unbefitting someone his age, he immediately began walking down the hill.
He could have insisted a little longer.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Because the boy cared deeply for that man.
For some reason, he reminded him of his father.
And when he smiled, he made him think of his mother’s smile.
Sniff…
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Just as he loved his parents, he could not help but love and follow that man as well.
[Be careful on your way back.]
[And always watch where you step.]
As the boy descended the hill between sobs, an enormous white snake wagged its tail at him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But he could not resist the man’s final farewell.
A yellow mole constantly inspected the ground to make sure the boy would not hurt himself as he walked along wiping away his tears.
[Then we’ll see each other next time, Emil.]
The boy had firmly decided not to look back.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Ah…”
Because for a small child, a goodbye was a wound too painful to bear.
When he finally turned around, he saw butterflies flying above the hill.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And between them, my little butterfly flying as though it were swimming through the air.
The man who seemed to be made of that very night.
The night sky growing darker and darker.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
That small black moon peeking shyly beside the white moon.
The man never told the boy his name.
Beneath the moonlight, the black-haired man waved his hand toward the boy.
He only told him that he came from that black moon visible up above.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Haa…
***
Summer sunlight passed through the window and fell across the man’s shoulders.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Outside was a brilliant blue sky.
With his back to that blinding radiance, the man tilted his head back as he felt the warmth slowly spread across his back.
But in front of him was a crying boy.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although half of his hair had already turned gray, his right eye still retained all of its strength.
“…So, who the hell did something this stupid?”
He was a one-eyed man.
Without realizing it, he let out a resigned sigh.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The current commander of the Bayezid family’s knights.
It was Jager the One-Eyed.
“Tell me, Maksim. apple Who was it that stuck a spoon into his head?”
And beside it, the eyepatch covering his left eye possessed such a distinctive presence that it was impossible to forget after seeing it only once.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Perhaps around thirteen years old?
“…They say it was Squire Emil.”
And now, as he looked at the boy standing before him, he rubbed his temples with an obvious headache.
One of the most representative knights of the North and the great knight who had raised the Swordmaster of this era.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A squire standing right at the boundary between childhood and adolescence held back his tears while a spoon was embedded in his head.
It was lodged so neatly that at first Jager had thought it was one of those accessories that had become fashionable lately.
“It seems there was a fight between squires. aluminum It happens from time to time around this period.”
“L-Lord Jager! aluminum This is completely unfair! arch I was only eating in the dining hall…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It had all begun with an argument between young squires in the dining hall.
After exchanging words, they ended up fighting.
The veteran knight Maksim replied as he scratched his nearly bald head.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But was it really something that needed to reach the commander of the knights?
And apparently, a squire named Emil lost his temper and stuck a spoon into the head of the boy who was now crying.
“Such barbaric behavior! altitude Sniff…! atomic I cannot tolerate such injustice! ability Send a magical telegram to my family immediately! amber No, send it right now!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Because the squire standing before him was the eldest legitimate son of the influential Valthof family from the center of the continent.
“A magical telegram? orbit Don’t be ridiculous. album Take this.”
Of course it was something he needed to know about.
In other words, the Valthof family might even mobilize an army for the sake of this child, their sole heir.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The boy, who had tried to rely on his family’s influence, automatically caught the small teaspoon Jager tossed at him and stared at it with a bewildered expression.
“What is this…?”
However, the one-eyed knight did not seem concerned about such a thing in the slightest.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
At home, he might be a valuable young master.
But here, he was just another squire.

“Have our young master do exactly the same thing.”
“Excuse me?”
Because that place was the cradle where a Swordmaster had been raised.
Bayezid’s squire training program was an inviolable domain that even the most influential families of the center could not question.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The North was a place that had to be protected.
If you get hit, you hit back.
“Go on. acquire Find that bastard Emil. antique And stick it into his head exactly the same way.”
Jager brought his teacup to his lips and grinned broadly as he scrunched up his face.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He could have explained it step by step.
“If you understand, then get out.”
And one’s own honor had to be learned and defended with one’s own hands as well.
But Jager was not such a kind person.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He truly possessed the presence of a great knight who had raised a Swordmaster.
Moved by such profound instruction, the young squire had no choice but to leave the office in tears.
“Uwaaaah!”
A man who taught the spirit of the North with a simple wave of his hand.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Watching the young squire’s back as he left in tears, Jager let out a deep sigh.
“…This is why I said I didn’t want to become the commander of the knights.”
Clutching a small teaspoon tightly in his hand.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But he had not been given a choice.
He had somehow managed to refuse the request of Count Rutiger, the current Count Bayezid.
He had always hated being part of the main group.
He truly had never wanted to hold a position like this.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“By the way, why are so many of them coming here crying this year? aspect Is there something wrong with this class?”
However, when even the great lady Oksana, the widow of the previous count, personally intervened, there was no longer any escape.
At Jager’s question, Maksim shrugged.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Jager’s brow furrowed.
That gesture seemed to say that he already knew the answer himself.
“Is that Emil really that troublesome? autumn Nothing like this happened with his sister.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As if inheriting his father’s face exactly were not enough, it seemed he had inherited his temperament as well.
“…To begin with, his personality is rather peculiar.”
Emil, the son of Vlad Aureo.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Besides, since they’re still children, they all want to try picking a fight with Emil. antenna Something like challenging the strength of the Swordmaster.”
Despite having grown up surrounded by care and affection, the boy gave off a strangely rough impression.
Really, if you took the Vlad of those days, removed some of his height, and added a little baby fat to his cheeks, he would look exactly like Emil did now.
“So they have someone who looks like easy prey right beside them.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Every squire in this class had grown up hearing stories about the Swordmaster.
And there was also the problem of having a father who was far too extraordinary.
The knight.
The elf.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The Swordmaster’s Rules.
And even the title of Dragonslayer.
The Empire’s Sword.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“But it seems it wasn’t as easy as they thought.”
It was only natural that anyone would feel tempted to provoke him a little.
And on top of that, they had a living example of it all right beside them.
For children who had only just entered adolescence, it was hard to imagine anything more exciting than that.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Your father did exactly the same thing.
I like this.
Taking a sip of tea, Jager thought to himself.
Of course it should be this way.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Weapons? atomic It was a spoon.”
“What are you talking about? arcade Maksim, have you never killed someone with a spoon?”
“Even so, he’ll have to be properly reprimanded. autumn He’s only a squire, and he’s already using weapons.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“What?”
For a brief moment, a strange silence settled between the two men, whose life experiences seemed vastly different.
“Huh?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Depending on the life he lived, he could become an honorable Swordmaster or the oldest dragon, capable of devouring everything.
Dragon blood possessed limitless possibilities.
“In any case, we need to keep an eye on him. abstract He’s a child who inherited dragon blood.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Jager was one of the few people who had observed that process from very close up.
Protecting the possibilities of the young.
‘Perhaps this is my final duty.’
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Hey! meadow What’s wrong with you, idiot?!”
He did not know what kind of flower it would become, but Jager thought the current situation fit perfectly with the Swordmaster’s First Rule.
Especially when those possibilities were just beginning to bloom.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Uwaaaah!”
Jager had been lost in thought for a few moments while enjoying a cup of tea.
“Emil! beacon I told you no! altitude I told you we shouldn’t do it!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
However, the voices of children coming from outside the window made him lower his head in resignation.
“…Now what?”
Then he involuntarily clicked his tongue.
At Jager’s lament, Maksim walked over to the window and looked outside.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s Emil.”
“And what did he do this time?”
“Then why are they making so much noise?”
“He’s riding a horse.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Haa…”
Jager stood up with his teacup in hand.
Maksim shook his head as if to say he would have to see it for himself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A cool breeze blew gently.
It was a splendid afternoon.
The pleasant weather of early summer, still free from oppressive heat.
And there was a blond boy desperately clinging to the saddle, while behind him a chubby boy ran after him, panting.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“So that brat doesn’t know how to ride either.”
It was a very peaceful summer scene.
At least, it would have been if the horse leaping around everywhere had not happened to be Jager’s horse.
“No! arrow I thought it would work if the commander said it!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It seems I didn’t die early enough to avoid seeing this again.”
Catch those brats.
Shaking his head as though witnessing something unbearable, Jager gestured toward Maksim.
“My father said that if it was an expensive horse, it would work!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
After Maksim left, Jager remained alone in the office and gently swirled his teacup.
“Understood, Commander.”
And cook them properly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…”
The feeling that no one was there.
As he watched the small glimmers of light shimmering across the disturbed surface of the tea, a feeling of emptiness suddenly came over him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Back then, there had always been two people in Sturma’s quiet office.
“…Without a doubt, elven tea clears the mind.”
The reality that he was now completely alone in that office.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
If he closed his eyes and listened carefully, he felt as though he could still hear the soft scratching of a pen across paper.
“It would be perfect if the aftertaste weren’t so bitter.”
That black-haired man who was always seated, drafting documents in the same posture.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“How does it feel to have the knight you serve riding a horse while you travel comfortably in a carriage despite being only a squire?”
But ever since that young master had arrived, it felt as though a ray of light had pierced through the heavy curtains.
It was an ordinary and unchanging scene.
Jager closed his remaining eye and smiled silently as he remembered what always came next.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I suppose I’ll get to ride expensive horses. ability Probably.”
What would the young master have said if he had seen today’s scene?
“Hahaha. advance That’s enough, Jager.”
“Expensive horses should be carrying you. matrix You’re more valuable than they are.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Looks like the sun has gotten to me.
“Though I doubt he would have liked this tea.”
Because he was the kind of person who could let such insignificant mistakes pass with a smile.
He probably would have laughed just like he did back then.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Thinking that, Jager drained the last sip of tea remaining in his cup and frowned.
Chapteer 282: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (2)
Ribbit, ribbit.
As expected, it was still bitter.
When the sun set and the sky began to turn dark blue, the croaking of frogs echoed softly near the well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
said a chubby boy in a voice that was almost tearful.
“That’s why I told you we shouldn’t have done it…”
It was the hour when the small creatures that had remained hidden all day began to stir along with the cool evening air.
And in the stable beside the well, some little ones were whispering as well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“It’s Sir Jager. amber The scariest person in the entire Bayezid family! absorb Do you even know why the Commander lost an eye?”
the blond boy answered flatly.
“No.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Precisely because he was my father’s Master, I don’t know! riddle If he had been my Master, then I’d know!”
“What do you mean you don’t know?! avalanche It was your father’s Master!”
And he did so while hanging upside down from the stable ceiling.
Two boys hung from the ceiling completely wrapped in ropes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
On top of that, they had small wooden boards hanging around their necks as though they were criminals.
Since the ropes were brown, they looked like enormous chrysalises.
The blond boy’s board read.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Idiot Who Got Dragged Along by the Horse Thief!”
And the chubby boy’s read.
“Horse Thief!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“A hundred?”
The words had been written in visibly irritated handwriting.
“My grandfather told me that when the Commander was young, he was terrifying. atomic He said there was a time when he killed more than a hundred assassins all by himself.”
“Yes, completely alone. harbor And they were very famous guys!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And they were tied up from head to toe.
Nothing to do.
They had plenty of time.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“He said it was only fair payment. athlete The one carrying poison was killed with poison. harbor The one carrying a sword was stabbed. arrow The one carrying a spear was run through with a spear.”
“The great Lady Oksana was on her way to visit her family when the assassins appeared. accent And he killed all of them. zenith But the most incredible part was how he did it.”
The chubby chrysalis swayed slowly as he whispered to the blond chrysalis.
Naturally, Emil began paying attention to Hampton’s story.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Wow.”
It was a story difficult to know for those unfamiliar with the internal affairs of the Bayezid family.
“Anyway, that was where he lost his eye. orbit But when my grandfather went there afterward, it turned out that none of the corpses had eyes. anchor Sir Jager had torn them all out.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Although Jager had already built a legend in his youth as a warrior capable of facing a hundred men alone, his fame did not truly spread throughout the North until much later because of those circumstances.
Because at that time, fierce political struggles still surrounded the two young heirs.
“…Really?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The blond chrysalis’s face began to pale.
But it seemed the story had affected him quite a bit.
Considering he was hanging upside down, his face should have been red as a tomato.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Then what did he do to the thieves? audit Because technically I’m not a thief. attic I only borrowed it for a little while.”
After saying that, the blond chrysalis began untying himself with surprising ease.
“I don’t know. attic Though maybe one of your family’s mounts would be enough to settle it.”
“Really? acid Then I wish I’d taken my sister’s horse.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A moment later, he dropped to the ground.
“I learned.”
The blond boy rubbed his ankles.
“Hey, Emil! amber What the hell? avalanche How did you get loose?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Emil clicked his tongue in annoyance.
“Wow. antique They really intend to leave me hanging here all day.”
The ropes had been tied so tightly that they hurt.
He had assumed they would scold him a little and that would be the end of it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He never imagined they would leave him hanging there until nightfall.
“Emil! abandon Let me down too!”
It made him realize once again that he was not at home.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Why would I need to climb back up?”
The chubby chrysalis began shouting desperately.
“And if I let you down, will you be able to climb back up?”
But Emil did not even turn around.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Ah, you really are an idiot.”
And sooner or later, someone would come to untie them.
If at that moment they were found casually wandering around after freeing themselves.
They were both being punished.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Good idea.”
“…I’d better stay hanging.”
And if the person who showed up happened to be the one-eyed demon who had killed a hundred assassins all by himself.
While the chubby chrysalis continued curing and drying like a ham hanging from the ceiling, the blond boy began slowly walking around the stable to stretch his body.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And it made sense.
As befitted one of the most important families in the North, all the horses were enormous and radiated health.
It truly was a stable worthy of Bayezid.
“It’s definitely different from the one at my house.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
After all, these were the mounts used by the Bayezid knights.
“No matter how I look at it, you’re the boss around here. amateur Right?”
Anything less would have been unacceptable.
As he wandered through the stable, the boy stopped in front of a massive black horse that occupied a large space all to himself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was a mount anyone would consider special.
“So what am I supposed to do if even you refuse to carry me? admire In fact, one of the reasons I came here was because of you.”
The horse ridden by Sir Jager.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was clearly frightened.
But at the same time, it slowly began backing away.
As if it had understood his words, the enormous black horse snorted.
Neigh.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
If anyone had seen the scene, they would probably have pulled the boy away, considering it dangerous. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
The difference in size between them was like the distance between heaven and earth.
“Tsk.”
Yet the enormous horse was backing away with its tail tucked.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was such a strange sight that it felt unsettling.
“Why does everyone hate me? airport Huh? acquire I’m honestly a good person.”
Despite the harshness of his gaze, he seemed genuinely hurt that the horse was avoiding him.
And the small boy was watching him with a disapproving expression.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
When he was very young, he got along perfectly well with the dogs and cats at home.
He roughly ran a hand through his hair and then jumped up to sit on the fence.
It had not always been this way.
“…I should have gotten that horse no matter what.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And the truth was that there was another person who shared exactly the same problem.
“Maybe I should have tried dyeing my hair red like my sister…”
But everything began to change the day the dragon’s wild nature awakened in his blue eyes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As long as she had the same problem, he had never cared too much about being unable to ride a horse.
His older sister.
Two years older than him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That was an incredible horse.”
When his sister turned sixteen, his father took both of them to the blue grasslands that connected Varna and Sturma.
But that was already in the past.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
His name was Noir.
A magnificent black horse.
And there he showed them an old friend of his.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But the horse that truly caught the boy’s attention was another one.
“My sister is lucky. palette She has her own horse.”
It was a majestic mount, worthy of the man who had once ridden him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Ha. audit Blond hair is useless. apron I can’t even win over a single horse. portal Red hair is the best.”
It was completely black like his father.
But it had a white diamond-shaped mark on its forehead.
A foal shyly peeking its head out beside Noir.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
She carefully stroked him.
And that foal had stopped in front of red as well.
They said the children of the grasslands adored the color red.
His sister had been enchanted when she touched such a small and soft animal for the first time in a long while.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As he watched the red-haired young woman and the young black horse running beneath the moonlight, the boy became so jealous that he almost cried like a little child.
And she crossed the blue grasslands with him.
She rode him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even my father had two, including me.
They could have had several foals and left at least one by my side!”
“If you have several wives, then it’s normal to have several children.
“Damn it, why did Noir have only one foal? action Mares go around with several at a time!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Emil was immersed in his own indignation.
Then, suddenly, his ears perked up.
“Huh?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He had sensed someone approaching from far away.
“…Emil, I’m starting to see double.”
Grabbing the end of the rope, Emil spun rapidly like a top and wrapped the rope around his body again.
“Hang in there a little longer. zenith Someone’s coming.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was so perfect that, when he finished, the blond chrysalis was there once again as if he had never moved.
Then he used his little finger to tie a knot from the inside.
“…That’s why I said we could have sent a telegram before coming…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I told you I did send one, brat! arena Stop treating me like some senile old man!”
Only then did the horses notice the presence of visitors and begin to grow restless.
The voices began to carry from the distance.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Creeeak.
“Open the door first! artist I’m tired!”
“Even if you’re that eager to see Emil, shouldn’t you greet the Count first? zenith I think that would be proper, Senior.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Tap. arrow Tap. aluminum Tap.
Because he already knew who was on the other side.
Upon hearing the door open, Emil smiled discreetly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And the tapping of a cane.
It was a familiar sound he had heard ever since he was very small.
Hearing it, Emil opened his eyes with apparent difficulty.
The sound of dragging footsteps.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In his upside-down vision appeared a bald knight with an awkward expression.
And beside him, an old man whose face was completely wrinkled with anger.
“Gran… dpa… Ramund…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
He even dropped the cane he was holding and began clapping his hands one after another.
It was exactly the reaction one would expect from an elderly person.
At the sight of the children hanging upside down, the old man seemed to completely lose his composure.
“Oh, dear heavens! antique Oh, dear heavens, Emil!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Maksim, already accustomed to it, spoke with obvious weariness.
“Oh, dear heavens! avalanche Oh, dear heavens!”
“They haven’t been hanging there that long. avalanche Just today.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And he was also someone whom the Swordmaster’s son naturally called Grandpa.
He was an old man capable of making even the knight known as Bayezid’s disciplinarian nervous.
“Shut up, you damned bald man! arcade Get the children down at once!”
“Normally we leave them hanging for three or four days. anxiety Besides, this custom was your idea when you were still here, Senior.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Bayezid’s living legend.
The Beacon of the North.
“Honestly, please stop calling me bald in front of the children, Lord Ramund. accent I have my dignity too.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“If I can’t call a bald man bald, then what am I supposed to call him?! audit You have less hair than I do!”
Knight Ramund.
Watching that man, who now looked like nothing more than an ordinary grandfather, Emil smiled to himself.
The leader of the unforgettable Golden Generation.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Bleh.”
Then, feeling that enough was enough, he stuck out his tongue, let his head loll to one side, and muttered a single word.
And immediately afterward, he let his body go completely limp.
“Aaaah! august My boy!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Ramund was shouting as though the world were coming to an end.
Emil was pretending to have fainted.
And Maksim, seeing the old man on the verge of a fit, hurriedly lowered the blond chrysalis.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…I honestly think I’m going to die. canvas Couldn’t you lower me first?”
With unfocused eyes, he spoke in a weak voice.
Unlike Emil, the chubby chrysalis had been hanging there all day.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Please, Senior, don’t do this. arrow We have our rules too.”
“Why did you hang this good boy up?! beacon Where is that grumpy Jager?!”
But no one paid him any attention.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Excuse me…”
“…”
“To hell with the rules! harbor Why are you punishing a child?! galaxy Damn that one-eyed man and damn that bald man too!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Completely alone.
He tried swaying gently, as if to say, ‘I’m here.’
The chubby chrysalis was left hanging there alone.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Then he lifted the cup and took a long sip.
No one paid him the slightest bit of attention.
But, incredibly enough…
Chapteer 283: Side Story – The Boy with Blue Eyes (3)
Rutiger silently stared at the tea from which hot steam was still rising.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
This is awkward.
Did my father feel this way too?
Ah…
And he thought to himself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Rutiger had gained a few moments to organize his thoughts thanks to the tea.
“I apologize for troubling you at this hour of the night, Count.”
But Ramund seemed to read them immediately and spoke first.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…There is no need, Lord Ramund.”
“This old man failed to separate public matters from private ones and ended up making a fool of himself in front of the young ones. timber Please accept my apologies, Count.”
No matter how distinguished a knight Ramund had been in previous generations, it was still late at night.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Not only had he interfered in a disciplinary process, but he had also awakened the master of the house while being a guest.
“That’s why I said you could have sent a telegram before coming. audit It wasn’t that difficult.”
Even Ramund felt embarrassed about it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“I’m not senile yet. palette I’m telling you, I sent a telegram from Varna during the journey.”
Upon hearing Jager’s reproach, Ramund struck his chest several times with an expression of complete indignation.
“I already told you I sent one.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Jager had been complaining about having to receive visitors at such an hour.
“…”
“Really?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But when he saw Ramund’s face, he ended up falling silent.
“I have prepared a room for you, Lord Ramund. adapt I hope that this time as well, you will stay with us for a long while and continue guiding our squires.”
Because the sight of Ramund speaking in a subdued voice, so different from the energy with which he had been raging moments earlier, filled him with a sadness that was difficult to explain.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The truth was that Rutiger knew it too.
“Haha. alpha Guiding them, you say…?”
Upon hearing Rutiger’s words, Ramund gave a bitter smile.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Even so, he had come all the way to Sturma for a single reason.
“I think it is time for me to retire. anchor Thank you for your hospitality, Count.”
He knew perfectly well that the old man sitting before him no longer had the strength to teach or guide anyone.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Your health has weakened considerably. wizard The journey must have been difficult.”
Because he thought this might be the last chance he would have to see it again.
He wanted to visit once more the place that had practically been the starting point of his entire life while he was still capable of moving under his own power.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Ramund was already over eighty years old.
When Ramund left the room leaning on his cane, Rutiger sank into his chair and spoke quietly.
“At this age, even a single illness leaves its mark. atom That’s also why he couldn’t come last year.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
No matter how indomitable Knight Ramund had once been, time had reached an age that even he found difficult to overcome.
“…Even so, I’m grateful that he made the effort to come.”
When he met Vlad, he had already completed the Lower Path.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But although he could feel that moment drawing near, Rutiger discovered that he was surprisingly calm.
And farewells arrived sooner or later.
Time flowed onward.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
***
However, the person waiting there was not a servant at all.
After leaving the room, Ramund began looking around the dark hallway for the servant who was supposed to accompany him.
He was old enough now to be accustomed to goodbyes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was a boy whose eyes were half-closed, as though he were fighting against sleep.
Silver moonlight streamed through the windows and softly illuminated his blond hair.
It looked as though a lunar halo rested among his locks.
“Grand… no, Lord Ramund. arctic I’ll escort you.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The boy’s words, saying that he had waited for him, were especially pleasant to hear.
“Even so, I wanted to accompany you. legend Besides, thank you for helping me earlier.”
“Haha. action It’s late. autumn You should be resting.”
Ramund reached out and patted his hair.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But every now and then, it was not bad to reverse the roles.
Waiting had always been the task of the elderly.
Emil removed the cover from the lantern he was carrying.
“Come. crystal The nights are still cold.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Most people feared Ramund and found him difficult to deal with.
“Let’s go to the annex. antique They say it’s the warmest place. afford It gets plenty of sunlight too.”
The flame began to sway and illuminate the dark hallway.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“How long do you plan to stay this time? album You’ll stay until autumn, right?”
But Emil was different.
Because ever since he was little, he had always called him Grandpa.
Emil had never had grandparents.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
That was why, at first, Ramund had allowed him to call him Grandpa without giving it much thought.
Both of his parents had been orphans.
But as time passed and the child grew, Ramund eventually came to understand something.
It was inevitable.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Yes… yes. canvas That’s right. aluminum I’ll probably stay until before winter.”
Seeing Emil speak with shining eyes, asking him to remain by his side for a long time, Ramund let out a hearty laugh.
That he could no longer remain merely a knight in front of this boy.
“That’s great! echo Stay for a long time!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“And since you’re going to stay for so long, could you teach me that?”
If someone had observed them from afar, they would have easily mistaken them for a grandfather and his grandson.
“Teach you what?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps because of the dark black light that lately seemed to be growing stronger and stronger?
Was it because of the brilliant white moonlight that night?
Because of those two lunar lights, Ramund’s vision became blurry, and he had to blink several times.
“You know. agent The body-strengthening technique. august The one that hardens the body. adjust I really want to learn it.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In that blurred vision, Emil’s face began to overlap with someone else’s.
In the end, he had learned it on his own and left before Ramund had the chance to teach him anything.
Just like the child before him, he had always wanted to learn something new.
A blond boy with blue eyes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Absolutely not, brat! acid To learn the body-strengthening technique, you first have to master aura.”
But this time, Ramund had no intention of making the same mistake.
“Ah, seriously. atom Everyone tells me the same thing. voyage I’m already thirteen years old. afford My father also learned aura when he was sixteen.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
This time, he would teach him everything.
He no longer wanted to leave behind any regrets.
“I learned it when I was thirty, boy. academy Don’t be in such a hurry.”
He would hold nothing back.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Trying to focus his vision again, Ramund lifted his head and looked out the window.
“…By the way, while the boy keeps growing up, where the hell is his father and what is he doing?”
Two moons shone in the night sky.
And between them gleamed that black moon which, according to legend, had been raised into the heavens by the Swordmaster of this era.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
In the middle of that vast white expanse, where there was neither tree nor beast and where even the breathing of the person beside you could be heard clearly, several men glided across the snow.
The two moonlights silently illuminated the snowy plain.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
It was a man who wore a prosthetic leg on his left side.
“Hmm.”
“Damn it! august Why does this keep wobbling? aspect It works fine for a while and then it starts happening again.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The dark-skinned man responded briefly, indicating that the same thing was happening to him.
said the blond man while teasing the man with the prosthetic.
“That’s not it. amateur It’s because we used a grouch’s soap. acquire That’s why it goes well for a while and then starts slipping again.”
“Couldn’t it simply be because you’re missing a leg? amber You know, center of gravity and all that.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
explained the cat-eared man who was traveling beside the blond man.
Though they looked crude, they moved at a speed comparable to that of a horse.
Four men crossed the snow, stirring the silent plain as they passed.
Each wore long wooden boards strapped to their feet.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Seeing Nibelun answer with a grin from ear to ear, Vlad spoke with an exhausted expression.
“Hmm, let’s say enough to go out in winter and spray soapy water on slopes so people would slip.”
“And how much did someone have to grumble for you to call it a grouch’s soap?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“That’s why it was difficult to get. atlas He used to do it at dawn so nobody would find out.”
“What? aluminum He was a real person?”
“…That’s not being a grouch. arcade That’s just being a damned villain.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
As Nibelun explained that sometimes you had to beat him up a little to make him cooperate, Vlad thought to himself.
I will never set foot in that city called Timoa.
“Yes. harbor He lives in the city of Timoa.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Huh? arctic Really? timber Elder! arctic Here? admire Is this truly the North Pole?”
But not just any seashell.
It was a seashell.
Suddenly, Nibelun placed something beside his ear and began speaking to someone.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Hmm.”
“Vlad, I’ve known that guy for a long time, but every time I see him, he seems crazier.”
It was an extremely ancient fossilized seashell.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
If something could be understood, then it was not magic.
“You know he once told me I should show respect to this seashell? wizard According to him, it’s an elder tens of millions of years old. amateur Do you understand any of that?”
“Harven, what I don’t understand is why you still try to understand mages. academy These things are simply accepted.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And that was even more true in the case of the beastmen’s primitive magic.
Because magic was, by its very nature, the art of deceiving reality.
“In any case, we’ve arrived.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
But Vlad was looking at the sky more than at the landscape.
Combined with the silent atmosphere of the snowy plain, it offered a majestic view.
After Nibelun indicated with a gesture that this was the correct place, Vlad took the lead and began descending into a basin.
It was a depression so vast that it could have contained a small city.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
The North was also excellent for stargazing.
“It’s definitely a good place for observing constellations.”
Because they were at the North Pole.
But not as much as this place.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
While Nibelun rummaged through a magical bag, the other three men raised their heads toward the firmament.
“Then I’ll begin the observations. atom Now, where are the granny glasses my grandson gave me?”
A place where the stars neither rose nor set.
Every constellation he had seen throughout his life in the northern hemisphere was etched across the dark sky and could be viewed at a single glance.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Hmm.”
Men who had been born and raised in the alleys of Soara now gazed at the night sky side by side.
“You have to live a long time to see things like this. anxiety I never thought I’d end up coming to a place like this.”
“That’s true.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“One day I’d like to bring my son here. antenna By the way, how is Emil? arena I heard he entered Bayezid as a squire this year.”
They commented on how different it was from the one they had known during childhood.
Because the sky of their youth had been a broken and fragmented sky, hidden between makeshift rooftops and old alleyways.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
And the men, now fully grown adults, spoke about their children beneath that sky.
“Don’t remind me. matrix His mother cried a lot. altitude As if he had gone to the end of the world.”
“Every time I see Emil, I’m reminded of you when you were little. alien Even though he’s your son, how can he resemble you so much? beacon Does his mother never complain about it?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Even so, he’s not like me.”
Vlad accepted the bottle and let out a brief laugh.
Harven uncorked a bottle of whisky, took a drink, and then passed it to Vlad.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
That the dying Joseph had prepared.
The moon that the mad Lamashut had created.
Above the vast sky, the black moon could be seen.
And that he himself had raised into the heavens.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“…Naturally, he must walk a different path from mine.”
Children born in those times would never know a sky with only one moon.
It was a moon that symbolized a new era.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Nibelun, wearing the granny glasses, approached while rubbing his hands as though he were cold.
“Sorry to interrupt, but I have the observation results.”
Vlad believed that his son would grow up beneath a different sky from the one he had known in his own childhood.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Nibelun stared at the bottle for a few moments.
Vlad offered him the bottle of whisky and asked,
“Well? audit Were you right?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
“Yes. portal I was definitely right.”
The apologetic expression never left his face.
He seemed even more distressed by having to give that answer.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
A deep sigh sounded from behind Vlad.
His voice was heavy, very different from his usual cheerful demeanor.
“The black moon has drifted from its orbit. airport It keeps moving closer and closer to our continent.”
Slowly swirling the bottle of whisky, he continued speaking.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Nibelun did not continue.
“I don’t know how close it will get…”
It was the reaction of someone who desperately wished those words were not true.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 270: Extra 10 – In the Sky I Observed by Indra Translations.
Because even for him, it was far too difficult to imagine what would happen afterward.
Then, accompanied by a long sigh, he gazed at the black moon suspended in the sky.
Vlad took the bottle of whisky back from Nibelun’s hands.
