Chapter 21.2 - Magic Swordsman and Black Organization [4] – part 2 (1/2)

. Magic Swordsman and Black Organization [4] – part 2

Then we went to our client’s grandmother, Sandy-san, and immediately left the city of Orest.

On the way from Orest to Drestia,

「Haee…?! You all are students of that Thousand Blade Academy?」

Sandy-san was amazed.

「Y-Yes, more or less.」

…In the middle of suspension though.

「If the students of Thousand Blade Academy are escorting me, then that’s very reassuring. But is it okay? This request is cheap, isn’t it? We are poor wheat farmers after all.」

She pointed to the large number of sacks on the wagon.

It was packed to overflowing with threshed wheat.

I took a look a little while ago, the color is good, and the richness of the skin is just right.

It’s a fine first-class wheat.

This will surely fetch a good price.

「Ahaha, money is not the purpose.」

This is purely volunteering, and not for the sake of wanting money.

In fact, we have not received any rewards for all the requests we have completed.

「However, the Thousand Blade Academy… Recently, people say that they’ve 『fallen』, but their image of being the『strongest』during our generation is still fresh in our memories」

Thus, Sandy-san began to reminisce about the past.

「Especially Black Fist Leia-Lasnode! I don’t know much about it, but I’m sure it was called『No-Sword Style』? Anyway, she was really cool… She battered every single one of her opponents! It was always a pleasure to watch that woman!」

Sandy-san showed her punch with her right hand.

「The only person that stood a chance against her was Ferris of Ice King Academy! But in the end, it seems Ferris never won.」

「Heee, is that so…」

She told us quite an interesting story.

While listening to the stories of Thousand Blade Academy from the old days, we arrived at Drestia in no time.

Fortunately, we never encountered any beast or monster throughout the journey.

「I’m glad that we were able to finish the task without any problems.」

「Thank you. I had a lot of fun telling those stories. Well, I’ll take my leave… ha!?」

Sandy-san suddenly hardened like a stone statue in the middle of the conversation.

「Sa-Sandy-san!?」

「W-What happened!?」

「Are you alright?」

「Back… my back…!?」

She squeezed out those words forcefully.

Speaking of which … Bons-san said the client had a weak back.

「A-Anyway, let’s go to the hospital!」

When I was still a kid.

I still remember clearly that Bamboo geezer injured his back and laid in bed for a long time.

That energetic bamboo geezer was barely able to move for a whole week.

It seems that if you hurt your back, you can’t really move.

「No, no! It’s a contract to deliver the shipment by noon today…」

Apparently this wheat has a delivery time.

In addition to that, it’s noon today – there’s only an hour’s grace.

「U-Understood. Then I’ll take responsibility and deliver it!」

「I-Is it really alright?」

「Yes, leave it to me.」

「T-Then, I’ll rely on you…」

And then, Sandy-san took a piece of paper out of her pocket.

The delivery date of wheat, the delivery place, the purchase price, etc. were written on it.

It looks to be the contract.

「I’ve properly received it. Please take Sandy-san to the nearby hospital.」

「Y-Yes, that’s fine but…」

「Will you be fine alone, Allen?」

「Aa, leave the shipment to me… Oh yeah, once we’ve taken care of things on both our sides, let’s meet at that huge clock tower.」

I pointed to the clock tower that stood out just in front of us.

「Yeah, understood.」

「Be careful.」

「Thank you. Well then, take care of Sandy-san.」

Then I went to the delivery location by relying on the contract I received from Sandy-san – there was a map drawn on it.

「This should be the place.」

There was a shop called『Rocky Store』at the location shown on the map.

(It would be a nuisance to carry all this wheat into the store, let’s take only one sack)

I opened the sliding door with a rattle, and entered the store with a sack of wheat.

A little further in, I found a shopkeeper-like person in the back of the store.

「Oh. is it a customer?」

「No, a wheat farmer named Sandy-san injured her back, so I’m a magic swordsman who has carried it here on her behalf.」

「Ho… magic swordsman huh… In that case, can you show me the documents?」

「Yes.」

Then I handed over the valuable contract that she had handed over to me.

As he took a look at it,

「Nn…」
