Chapter 56: When I find you (3)
There was a red-haired girl sitting quietly in a shaky carriage with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
Seeing him holding less than a bundle of luggage against his chest was something that would elicit sympathy from anyone who saw it.
In the carriage leaving the convent.

“Did you have difficulties there?”
“Were you not fed well? aspect Why are you so thin?”
“…More or less.”
“…I just told you.”

“Why…”
Zemina continued to avoid Vlad’s gaze while briefly answering the questions that arose along their way.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
It was a scene the girl had dreamed of for so long, but when she actually found herself in the situation, there was only an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Zemina couldn’t easily make eye contact despite Vlad’s questions.
“…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Are you uncomfortable because we haven’t seen each other in just half a year?”
‘…She has changed a lot.’
Vlad was somewhat annoyed by Zemina’s subtle reaction, but he couldn’t help it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
‘He looks like a true noble.’
Zemina thought as she looked at Vlad, who gazed back at her with a bitter look in his eyes.
The subtle difference in emotions was partly Vlad’s fault, as he arbitrarily deviated from what the girl knew.
Even the parents who gave birth to them were unaware of the subtle emotions of a teenager.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Zemina quickly grabbed the end of her frayed sleeve, fearing Vlad’s gaze might catch her.
His blond hair, once popular among streetwalkers, now even lost its shine, making him look extravagant. palette The clothes he wore, his armor, and everything else displayed the appearance of a proud knight.
“…”
In contrast, her pitiful figure sitting in front of someone so bright.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
When they were together in the alley, they had nothing but a ragged blanket, but the sight of the boy now seemed distant, making Zemina feel sad.
Even if she did that, her pitiful appearance wouldn’t be completely hidden.
“I felt like they wouldn’t even allow me to be with the boy anymore, so I just lowered my head into the bag I was holding.”
“Hey!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes?”
“Eat this and come to your senses. antique You’ve been downcast since before.”
At Vlad’s sudden call, Zemina raised her head.
She opened her eyes in surprise as she felt something suddenly flying into her open mouth.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Zemina silently lowered her tongue as she felt the sweet taste spreading in her mouth.
“······.”
“Candy. attic I got it from a knight I know.”
“What is this?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
With those words, Vlad looks out the carriage window as if he no longer felt like talking.
“······Think what you want.”
Seeing Vlad’s indifferent profile, Zemina recalled the image of the boy from before.
“How did you get this expensive thing? meadow You didn’t steal it, did you?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Even during the days when he struggled to survive, Vlad somehow managed to get a piece of bread for the girl.
And then acted indifferent as if nothing had happened.
Just like now.
He had been the same back then.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Feeling the taste of reunion spreading to the tip of her tongue, the girl let go of the tears she had been holding back.

“Sob······.”
The salty taste of falling tears, and the sweet taste of the candy she tasted for the first time.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Finally seeing the girl releasing the tears she had been holding back, Vlad only frowned as if he found it annoying.
“You came too late!”
“Why are you crying again? acid Seriously.”
In the changed Vlad, Zemina found the image of the boy she knew, and only then could she release her tears with relief.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Zemina was very happy about that.
***
There were things that wouldn’t change even with the passage of time and changes in circumstances.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“······.”
In a corner of an alleyway.
Facing the slowly flowing river, Harven and Vlad sat with a bottle of liquor beside them, sharing a conversation.
“How is it possible that among all those boats, there isn’t one for me?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Looking at the boats docked in order according to their size and position, Harven sighed not out of admiration, but out of despair.
The boats were gathering at the dock to avoid the sunset.
From small fishing boats to large ships responsible for the logistic distribution of Soara.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
And the blond boy was the one who had seen that facet the most.
“You know it too, right? aluminum That my original dream was to be a guard.”
Harven was a straightforward man who used to speak his mind, but when he had alcohol in his mouth or saw boats, he showed a different side from the usual.
“I do.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Upon hearing Harven’s words, Vlad picked up a stone and threw it into the river.
“Now, obviously I’ve deviated from the path of being a guard. adopt With these legs, how can I climb a mast?”
“······.”
Because he knew that one of the reasons why Harven’s dream had been frustrated was himself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“It seems like you haven’t changed much…”
From the voice, to Jager, Joseph, and Jorge.
“So lately, I’ve been learning to read maps and recognize constellations. afford When you think about it, being a guard is too tough.”
Vlad turned his head in an indifferent gesture and started laughing while looking at Harven.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“We can’t let anyone else besides us bother them.”
Harven’s attitude, always seeking a way out in life, no matter how much the environment changed, had clearly had a great influence on the boy.
There were many people who taught the boy knowledge, skills, and life directions, but perhaps the brown-haired man sitting beside him at this moment was the first of them all. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“So Marcella and Zemina are still there, in the inn in the city center?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
It was the boy’s legitimate right to revenge, but it was also Joseph’s wish.
Bordan, who was organizing Jack One-Armed’s property, handed Vlad a receipt related to the smile of a rose.
“Yes.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The boy did not forget the favor of that day.
And that receipt was now in Marcella’s possession.
“I’m not sure.”
“Marcella is still managing the inn on the corner.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Listening to the memories of the past coming out of Harven’s mouth, Vlad took a sip from the bottle of whiskey in his hand.
“······Is it good? meadow Do you want to swap it for mine?”
The cheap whiskey that passed his throat so easily made Harven feel an innate desire to drink.
“Sometimes, she enjoyed drinking under your name.”

There was no reason to swap expensive whiskey for cheap rum, but Vlad passed the bottle to Harven anyway.
“······Are you kidding?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Damn! audit You can tell when it’s good whiskey just by the smell!”
“······The same goes for bad whiskey.”
Because he also owed something to Harven.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The new scars that had formed on Harven’s arm were the price he paid for secretly taking out a ship for Soara when he was trying to escape.
“······.”
Vlad wrinkled his nose at the stench emanating from the cheap rum and slightly tightened the bottle cap.
Harven, with his long sleeve covering his forearm even as summer approached, watched the scars on his arm as Vlad raised the bottle.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Harven’s smile, illuminated by the twilight, seemed sad to Vlad for some reason.
“I only half died.”
“…Somehow I didn’t die.”
In an alley where the only thing they had to offer was their lives, Harven did his best for Vlad.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
If Jack One-Armed’s men who saw that scene hadn’t rushed to the dock, it might have been a member of another organization, not Otar, who blocked the boy.
Haven, a member of a gang, hijacks the boat of a boss and floats it on the river.
“They say it’s surprising that a cripple can bring out a boat on his own. antique The boss liked that. apple That’s why I’m half-dead.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“That’s why I lived. shadow Thanks to you, I can drink such good drinks.”
“What do you plan to do next? adapt Are you going back to Sturma?”
“He likes everything.”
Vlad silently shouted as he watched Harven gulp down the whiskey as if it were good medicine.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“For now, I’ll stay here. album It’s like a state of waiting.”
The boy ignored Harven’s words, dismissing them as the words of a drunk person, saying that Zemina would be sad if he left so soon, and that he should take her with him when he goes up.
“It seems like a great view. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. harbor A man obeying the orders of a noble. aspect You’ve thrived.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“In the meantime, I’ll be looking for people around here.”
Watching the sun gradually set to the west of the river, Vlad took another sip from the bottle.
“Who?”
For someone, it might be a signal of the end of the day, but for the alley people, it was a signal of the beginning of the day.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Heh. auction This whiskey isn’t free.”
“If that’s what you’re looking for, it might be useful.”
Looking at Vlad’s sinister smile directed at him, Harven toyed with his cane.
“I have to search for Jack’s hidden properties and what was left unrecovered. antenna The money worms are digging everywhere.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“They’ve probably already sold all of them.”
“And Marcella seems to want to look for other prostitutes.”
For some reason, the cane that the young man had given him today looked reliable.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hmm.”
“They’ll be somewhere around here.”
Joseph wanted to find even Jack’s hidden dust in the alley.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Money and prostitutes.
Following in the footsteps of the prostitutes sold by usurers, they would surely earn shiny gold coins made with their tears.
And Madame Marcella also wanted to find the prostitutes who had disappeared because of her.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“I guess both have something in common.”
“Still, I think it’ll be a headache. abstract I did a quick search, but some of them showed no trace.”
Among missions and requests, Vlad, Bayezid’s squire and knight of the last remaining courtesans, knew exactly what he had to do.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Vlad remembered the prostitute who had been beaten by a man calling himself a mercenary.
“It’s Anna. antique Besides her, there are a few more people.”

“Who?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
As she started with many debts, he thought they would have sold her to a harder place, but he had no idea she would disappear without a trace like this.
Harven frowned when he felt that Vlad’s words were not empty words.
“I see. atom It’s a bit unusual for there to be no trace.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
When Jack One-Armed roamed the alleys, he saw many things that shouldn’t have happened.
“Alright.”
“Call me if you need help. admire The organization has shrunk these days, so I may not be of much help.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Although he felt quite uncomfortable, seeing Harven fulfilling his duty somehow gave young Vlad a lot to think about.
“I’ll be going.”
Harven strengthened his cane, managed to keep his balance, and stood up.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
His shadow, which is even more amazing than before, probably isn’t simply because he’s drunk.
“Okay.”
The crimson twilight cast long shadows over Harven.
Vlad waved a hand and watched Harven as he went back to his work.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Joseph had said.
A single bottle of whiskey won’t be enough to thank Harven for his kindness.
When you owe a favor or a grudge, you should at least repay it twofold.
“I have to pay you back the money.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“I guess I should come by here sometime.”
Vlad turned around and started walking in the opposite direction of where Harven had gone.
Life is a series of payments.
The boy heading towards the alley well remembered Joseph’s words.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
And the boy knew that it was his turn to pay.
***
The boy’s hair fluttered in the dim lights of the back alley.
The color was livelier than anything else.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
In front of a ramshackle and mud-filled blacksmith’s shop, an elderly blacksmith, as unkempt as his humble store, sat dejectedly in front of his forge. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“…”
The elderly man, whose life didn’t have much time left, felt disheartened watching his life fade away like this.
The only occasional customers were mercenaries seeking rumors and unattractive street thugs.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The increasingly demotivated elderly man rose with a groan reminiscent of his age.
No matter where you’re born in this world, everyone deserves to have at least one star in their heart. academy However, getting the star you held to appear in the night sky was another problem.
“Should I close today?”
He had been arranging furniture for a while when he stopped upon seeing a nail driven into the highest point of the blacksmith shop.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
And the old blacksmith remembered the boy who had gazed at the sword.
Where and what would that sword containing his unrealized dreams be doing?
A sword was hung there.
Would the boy be alright?
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
He just hoped it would be in a night sky better than this lamentable place.
“He must be.”
Aware of the world’s cruelty, the old man had already accepted that his star might not shine so brightly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Are you closing already?”
“Yes. acid Come back later.”

“I can’t, I’ll be busy.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The old man chuckled softly at the voice behind him.
Busy.
“This sword needs repair. autumn It’s been a long time since the last one.”
“Do you think you need my keen skill to push someone with a butcher’s knife?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The old man reacted to the words he had just heard.
“…What?”
Clearly, he had heard the word “sword.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
The old blacksmith dropped his tools and slowly turned back around.
“Other blacksmiths can’t fix this. atlas Only you can.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
That was the color he had brought into the world with the girl that day.
“Oh…”
Just by standing still, bright blond hair appeared in his numbed eyes.
“Is it not?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“Have a seat here.”
“No, no, it’s okay. antique Will you do it or not?”
Seeing such a beloved customer after so long, the old blacksmith lit his forge.
The fire revitalized the old man’s passion, which seemed like it would extinguish at any moment.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Fshh-
“That’s it.”
The old blacksmith offered the boy a seat and took the sword carefully.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The old blacksmith smiled as he looked at the sword with marks here and there.
“These are from when I fought a goblin. arcade I wasn’t familiar with the sword back then, so…”
He always felt proud of the things he had made as a blacksmith. riddle Especially if he had created them himself.
“Where did these scars come from?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Vlad continued explaining the scars on the sword as the old man smiled.
“And these?”
“These are… when I caught the death worm. wizard I was used as bait and… scraped the ground to get it out.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
Different from him, who was rotting away here.
The old man wasn’t scolding the boy; he was moved by what the sword he had created had achieved. arch It was faithfully fulfilling its duty.
“Goblin… death worm…”
He didn’t need to justify anything.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The blacksmith of that day remembered the boy endlessly staring at the sword he had made.
“Wait. artist I’ll fix it for you.”
However, the blacksmith of today smiled as he looked at the scars on the sword that had been created by the boy.
The old man quickly closed the shop and devoted himself exclusively to work for the boy.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
“And then?”
The sound of the old man’s hammer hitting resonated in the alley as it mingled with the boy’s voice.
“Then he struck the shield there and said my name.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 56: When I find you (3) by Indra Translations.
The boy’s eyes looked at him, and he saw himself standing in view of what the sword had done.
The old blacksmith, excitedly looking at the visible landscape between the sparks flying, smiled.
The old man dreamed of those sounds.
