Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1)

Because he had always thought that something like this would end up happening sooner or later.

After all, they were still children barely between thirteen and fifteen years old.

And on top of that, this class was practically the first to recruit squires from across the entire continent.

To be honest, Jager was not that angry.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

It was inevitable that some kind of problem would arise sooner or later.

That was his honest opinion.

“Although I didn’t expect them to pull it off this quickly. abstract It’s only been two weeks since they arrived.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Congratulations. abstract You’ve just achieved something that even your father never managed. artist Reaching the crime of insulting the imperial family at the age of thirteen. adopt It’s truly impressive.”

He was surprised by the speed.

He was not surprised that it had happened.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Though, strictly speaking, it could not even be called insulting the imperial family.

He did not belong directly to the imperial family.

Renvar Mordian only had imperial blood.

However, seeing Emil sitting there with that proud expression, and the mole on top of his head wearing an even prouder expression while crossing its arms, managed to irritate him.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. canvas After all, we’re comrades who fought together on the battlefield.”

“They really make a good pair. aluminum At least it’s good news in the middle of this whole mess.”

When Emil finished speaking, both he and the mole nodded at the same time.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

And that was precisely why it was so absurd.

“…It’s incredible. admire You became friends with a spirit you can’t even talk to. apple So why couldn’t you do the same with the squires from the center?”

They looked like companions who had fought side by side for years.

If the boy sitting before him had been anyone else, Jager would have already beaten him and hung him upside down.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Because he had already learned from experience that physical discipline did not work on someone like Emil.

“Oh, really?”

“I wouldn’t say we failed to become friends. orbit I’d say we were in the middle of becoming friends. altitude At least that’s how I see it, Lord Jager.”

But he did not.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Go on with your nonsense.

The look he gave him clearly said.

Jager shrugged after hearing that shameless answer.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. aluminum At least, I think so.”

“Renvar wanted this?”

However, the answer that followed was not simple nonsense.

“Yes. timber Because Renvar wanted this to happen.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

His origins were complicated.

From a very young age, Emil had been caught up in all kinds of conflicts.

“He was always nervous. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com avalanche Renvar, I mean.”

On the contrary, it was a conclusion born from surprisingly deep reflection for someone his age.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Every time he tried to provoke me, his heart would beat really fast. artist That means he was afraid. harbor It also seemed like he didn’t want to do it.”

And there were many people connected to those origins.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Those trying to look brave.

That was why Emil had immediately realized that Renvar was different.

People who pick fights generally fall into one of two categories.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

But the accelerated heartbeat that his sensitive ears picked up told him that Renvar belonged to neither category.

Or those who are simply idiots.

“And he also seemed to be constantly watching someone. canvas I’m guessing the escort knight who came with him. altitude The more I ignored him, the more nervous he got. riddle So I decided to give him what he wanted.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

But he did understand instincts.

“…..”

“I don’t know for certain, but I’d bet that Renvar will sleep soundly tonight. arrow After all, he completed his job.”

He did not understand complicated political matters.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Honestly, that’s not bad.

Many of his conclusions matched information Jager already knew.

And even though he was still young, he had managed to reconstruct part of Renvar’s situation using clues that could only be perceived on the ground.

“Hmm, I see.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

But in certain ways, he resembles his father a great deal.

I thought he was a hopeless savage.

“And that’s why you caused this entire disaster? album Fine. arch It sounds convincing.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

But shortly afterward, he was handed an object that completely changed his expression.

Seeing that reaction, Emil relaxed a little.

After hearing the explanation, Jager nodded with satisfaction.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes, but why are you giving me a doll?”

“Isn’t it obvious? echo A doll.”

“…What is this?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Emil did not understand the intention.

It was a small toy elephant.

Just an ordinary doll.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Jager was right.

And although he was still young, he was already too old to play with dolls.

“Even if there’s an explanation for Renvar, I can’t ignore the fact that you turned it into a full-scale brawl.” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

It was hardly a minor incident.

The fight had been so large that the entire manor heard about it.

And on top of that, the escort knights from the various families had already filed complaints.

Nearly a hundred boys had become involved.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

He carefully examined the doll.

Upon hearing the words “disciplinary tool,” Emil had a bad feeling.

“They say it’s a disciplinary tool from Dorothea’s Lu tribe.”

Jager needed to settle the matter properly.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

And when he finally pressed it, the doll immediately demonstrated its purpose.

Especially that pale green trunk that seemed to be begging someone to squeeze it.

“No.”

“Hello, little one. atlas Why don’t we start by introducing ourselves?”

“What if you hang me upside down again? canvas Last time was really awful.”

“…Couldn’t we just end this with a beating?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

But Jager merely stirred his tea with a teaspoon.

“From now on, Squire Emil will speak with this doll every night, reflect on his day, and repent for his actions. matrix And it would be good if the accomplice mole participated as well.”

Emil continued proposing physical punishments for himself.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

They viewed it as a trial to overcome.

In fact, they tended to enjoy it.

Jager knew perfectly well that physical pain had little effect on someone with dragon blood. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

It was one of the most important lessons he had learned while teaching Vlad.

That was why he had to attack him mentally.

“Dorothea will check it every day, so don’t even think about skipping it.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

With dejected expressions, the boy and the yellow mole left the office.

“Uuuu…”

“Kyuuuu…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Lost in thought, he began lightly tapping the table with his fingers.

Tap. altitude Tap. aluminum Tap.

“…Even so, the fact that even a child was able to notice means they’re putting too much pressure on him.”

Once both had disappeared, Jager slowly lifted his teacup.

“It seems the current Lord Chamberlain is considerably more impatient than the previous one.”

The letter was a recommendation.

After organizing his thoughts amid that calm rhythm, he opened a drawer and took out a letter.

A low, repetitive sound.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

And at the bottom was a signature.

It came in a high-quality envelope.

Lord Chamberlain Razmael.

A formal request for Renvar Mordian to be accepted into Sturma.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

The man who had been appointed after the death of the previous Lord Chamberlain, Armand.

But what do you think about trying to think first about the friend who got hurt?”

“It must have been very difficult for you. antique Of course you could feel that way.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Holding the talking elephant as he walked toward his room, Emil felt miserable.

‘A talking doll at my age. alpha Damn it.’

“This is completely insane…”

Boys Emil’s age were especially sensitive about things like that.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

And not only that.

It was the age when they began worrying about appearing masculine.

And at precisely that delicate stage, he now had to walk around carrying a doll that looked like it was made for babies.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Hampton, I’m back. arena Give me a sausage.”

Just thinking about it made him want to cry.

From now on, he would have to tell that strange creature about his problems every night.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Immediately afterward, he hurled the elephant doll against the wall with all his strength.

Then he tried to open the sausage box as usual.

Even though it was someone else’s room, Emil opened the door as if it belonged to him.

However, sitting on top of it was a child watching him with a surprised expression.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“He’s not a girl. album He says he’s a boy. adjust His name is Tarenian.”

He had just arrived because he lived very far away.

It was a boy with light brown skin and orange eyes, features uncommon in the North.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

The southern boy explained that his territory was famous for sugar.

“Sugar made from sugarcane. ability We make all kinds of products from it. adapt In fact, we also sell molasses to the North. antique You know, the kind used to make rum.”

“Hello. anxiety I’m Tarenian. abstract Tarenian Morvia. arcade Nice to meet you.”

And now he was smiling as he extended a hand toward Emil.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

His way of speaking sounded strangely rehearsed.

He was incredibly talkative.

Normally, Emil would have thought he seemed like a fun guy and would have continued the conversation.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Fine, Tarenian. acoustic I understand that you’re happy to meet me.”

But he was not in the mood for that today. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

But I just want to rest for a bit.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

The doll took every opportunity it could to butt in.

“It must have been very difficult for you. alpha Why don’t you tell me about it?”

“Shut up, talking elephant!”

You don’t know it, but today has been a really exhausting day.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Annoyed, Emil kicked it.

He hit it so hard that it flew up to the ceiling and bounced several times.

“So, if you would kindly move away from Hampton’s box, I’ll take a few sausages and quietly return to my room.”

However, Tarenian seemed more interested in the doll than frightened by it.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“…What exactly is that supposed to mean, Hampton?”

“What box? shadow This one?”

Tarenian pointed dramatically at the box he was sitting on.

“Sorry, Emil, but this is no longer Hampton’s sausage box.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“It means exactly what you heard. harbor It belongs to Tarenian now. arctic I sold it to him.”

The first thing Tarenian did after officially becoming a squire of Sturma was collect items related to the Swordmaster.

“It’s not just any box. abandon It’s the box that contained the sausages Sir Vlad shared with his friend Portly Kannor when they were young. meadow I bought it for only ten gold coins. abandon What do you think? legend An excellent deal, right?”

And among the things he had acquired was Hampton’s sausage box.

He was an obsessive admirer of Vlad.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I only sold him a dream, Emil. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. apple Besides, if the buyer is satisfied, what does it matter?’

‘You scammed him? sphere You told him this box is more than twenty years old?’

While Tarenian rambled endlessly about heritage, historical value, and antiquity, Emil looked at Hampton.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“But the box is what has value. artist The sausages don’t.”

As Emil shot him an accusing look, Tarenian finally finished his explanation.

“Could you immediately take back what you just said? beacon The sausages are the pride of the Kannor family.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

Upon hearing that, Emil’s ears practically perked up.

“That’s precisely why I can give you all these useless sausages. arcade You can take every one of them.”

“In exchange, I’ll only ask one favor. meadow I have my favorite piece in the collection here. attic I just need you to get some signatures.”

However, the request that followed made him frown.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

And what he pulled out were two handkerchiefs.

Tarenian carefully opened a case that he guarded as though it were a treasure.

He handled it so delicately that he had even put on white gloves.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

In the North, the most famous legends were usually those of the Dragonslayer or the Honorable Banner.

According to Tarenian, the romantic stories connected to those two ladies were the most popular in the South.

“They are exact replicas of Lady Zemina’s and Lady Alicia’s handkerchiefs. alien Exact down to the smallest detail. adjust Look at this one from Lady Zemina. anxiety They even copied the mistake in the original embroidery.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“If you can get signatures on these two handkerchiefs, forget the sausages. airport I’ll do anything that can be solved with money.”

He clasped his hands together pleadingly.

But in the South, the love stories had traveled much farther.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“I can help you with anything else. atomic But not with the handkerchiefs.”

He looked exactly like a hungry brown cat.

“Why? action Why?!”

But even a hungry cat could not be granted everything.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“Why not? voyage They’re my favorite pieces!”

Because the main reason he had crossed half the continent to reach the North was precisely to obtain those signatures.

Those words wounded Tarenian deeply.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

“In my family, talking about the handkerchiefs is forbidden. action Every time the subject comes up, the atmosphere becomes awful.”

Upon hearing that he would not get the signatures, Tarenian’s eyes began filling with tears.

With his eyes wide open, the brown cat clung to Emil.

Emil peeled him off and answered in a tired voice.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 286: Side Story – What Do You Want to Become? (1) by Indra Translations.

And Hampton, wounded because someone had called his sausages useless, buried his face in a pillow.

Emil also became depressed when he realized that meant no sausages for him.

Inside that small room, three boys were completely miserable.
