Chapter 3 (1/2)

As a result, passing by the fountain, I entered the Lord's castle alone

No, no, if someone heard of this, they'd probably think that it'll besuch a castle Actually, it'sa castle The first time? M for istration

Anyhow, this castle is a

The luscious green grass enco the massive, wide lawn fascinated me Woah, there's no snow on it either? Wait, there's no roof Just how many workers do they employ to shovel out the snow?

The northernmost country, Isna as 5Festival ”Frandiloa,” it's still very cold during the 3 Arund months of ”Arna” (Despite the eloquent name, most people just call it the third e that it's difficult to differentiate which places in the city are actually residential It's hard to find a place without snow…No, except here

Arass, at the center lay a pathway of paved stone It was inexhaustibly long

”Mh… Kuh……”

After walking down the paved stone for a while, I got sick of walking Despite seeing the large spire attached to the castle, the distance between the castle and I wasn't shortening at all

Why does this castle's front lawn have to be so long?

I didn't have toothe castle But still, I have occasionally read the tales of knights and heroes In those stories, e that can be raised up or down In my mind, if it was like that, then it would be easy to defend But this castle is only beautiful by frah, and the houses of the villages are built outside leaving it exposed What's

To make matters worse, what dissatisfied me the most was that this castle located at the end

Since it was so boring, I decided to check the cover of the book

'Sermuz's Swordsmanshi+p Exercise Manual 3rd Volume'

– Mabril's shi+ning Sword, Written by Kardan Maifehu –

Hehe, haven't I read this already three years ago?

I have never, NEVER wanted to become a warrior or a soldier in the past as well That hasn't changed today But, there's a good reason why I had read this three years ago

Of course at our store, there's a stockpile of swordsated Despite having such a large hoard, it doesn't sell as well

There's never a lot of people coe just to buyrandforce is developed or trained Not even1 - 2 h The loneh soh them as if they were a collection of children's stories

So what reason did I uselessly finish this to the last page? The ultiuy in my life, the criminal born to wash uy If not, ould there even be a reason?

Mmm, I was a bit too emotional

Anyways, I did kind of suer, stronger, taller, and older than me His name? Gepper kumentz When he first moved in, he was a quiet, absurd boy that wouldn't cause provocation (Whenever he sawa suspicious ploy) When I first met him, if it was possible, I told myself that I shouldn't bump into him

But of course, the world doesn't move as I plan it to be

I can't remember it clearly, but due to abeaten up (What I can't understand is the reason for hi his ithand broke it into pieces He probably wasn't fond ofthe sobard for some time now At that ti had no chance My poor sobard

Anyhow, that was the first ti inside

If you think about it, it was quite a eance, I read every single in syste the manuals, wouldn't the next step be actual practice? I'm someone that will pursue till the end once I make a decision

Look at me now Finally, I've reached the end of the paved pathway

”I have a delivery fro Deer's General Store”

To make the butler in front of ly, I put on an honest face as I concluded those words

”Follow me”

Thus, I walked past the center of the castle The castle was built of stone, adorned with the hel with deer and boars heads hung with short swords on the walls What a waste As a matter of fact, I do have a sword beside my waist as well

After reading countless swordsmanshi+p and spear manuals that didn't fitthose decorative swords hung on the walls to ers, with how short they are

But still, they would be useful when encountering a wild cat in the mountains

Past the corridor, we entered a round roo The echoing footsteps also botheredfor the butler

Wearing a warside hied man with a nasty impression

”Ah, so you have finally arrived”

What do youthat valuable? If I recall, this was a book that was lying around untouched in our store three years ago

After considering what I should do, I brought out the book and extended it forward

”Keep your manners In front of you is the Lord's son Arnowalt Ksendawni Ember”

Aha, so it was you? No, your family would be that old man?
