Chapter 19 (2/2)

He slightly turned his head towards e Before, whatever I had said to him when I first visited, he wasn't one that would satisfactorily reply to le word

Is this what you call fighting side by side in a battle…

”You must retrievethat sword”

Mirbo had stated that he travelled with that sword for 5 years There's noable to use it I was able to reat his affection was for the shile carrying it around in a white cloth (it would've been a hassle to carry even one sword if it was me)

However, the fact that the owner of that sas eneral store For soetic…… but I wasn't sure exactly who I had to apologize to

I was certain that he had transferred the ownershi+p of the sword On the day after the battle, after taking a glance that I had retrieved from under the cliff, he told me to 'have the sword' And after that, he started to show no interest towards the sword

Despite hi the person that had a burnt scar on his pal to wield the sword

”Mirbo, are you giving that sword to me?”

”To ask twice, you are quite a fool”

My judg a different subject? It's already chilly, and with the way the air is, it's only going to get colder I presume

”That sword, you must recover it without fail”

”… Of course”

When Mirbo and I had come in front of the Lord, it was likely that the Lord was quite tired of handling the situation at hand With a tired expression, he stated'I'll handle it to us to be in this predicament Why the hell does our province work like this? Our lovely lord, then I suppose that your son will presu partner?

Fortunately, at least the soldiers had confiscated the sword after the lord had disappeared If it weren't so, at this tie or whatever it's called while co me not to worry about it

”Uh, what's this sword?”

A soldier who had tried to initially hold up the searing a gauntlet couldn't endure the heat and dropped the sword on the floor while si in pain The soldiers looked back at the man

”What, what's wrong, Yasbalt?”

”It's extremely hot!”

Seeing Yasbalt scream like that, the soldiers had realized the fact that the perfectly nor had with difficulty stopped the other soldiers fro to hold the sword at once (I had realized then that Erent hyung was the lieutenant of the guards protecting the gate) And he presented the burn mark on his hand - which wasn't as extreme as the one on Mirbo - out to them as an example

As a result, after the co passionately delivered a story soe, unique sword can only be possessed by its rightful owner or else trouble would occur As is often the case of people living in the mountains, our people were quite weak to superstition Although there were a few skeptic grumbles, the majority had expressions of consent

However, to bring the sword into prison (to now reveal this, sigh) was so that could only happen outside of reality I had settled thethe sword to Erent hyung Most likely, I will be able to retrieve it once I leave here

… … if only it was discovered sooner that I am innocent

”This sword, where did it really come from, Mirbo?”

Mirbo didn't look towards me Has he returned to his former habits?

But, not long after, he stood up and approached me

”I guess I should tell you the story”

TL Afterword
