Chapter 30 (1/2)
”Haah-!”
Having to shout this out, this is quite a pain Apparently, I can't concentrate well if I do not h, if there's sooto another, tell him to appear in front of me
Putting my left foot to the side, I stepped forward and turned ht foot drew a circle and pointed towards my left as well Si horizontally froht
Look at this, this is how you're supposed to slash!+ By having the sword swing horizontally!
I can't afford to lose th!
”Ahhrahh……”
Uhk, a strange screa by the sword's weight While I was careful to follow the instructions, I didn't have the time to worry about hoould scream
Aigoo !
It's as if h I did barely stopto the side, I could hear my bones collide within my waist
Uhk
”Ughhhhhhh……”
Aigoo, my back
To try and swing this heavy sword horizontally while trying to control this without having my body twist away as as insanely difficult If I continue like this, it's eitherto break at this rate
Shouldn't I be practicing with a lighter sword first? Don't you think so, you ignorant large man
Mmmm, my father hadn't returned yet Now?
”All right?—?”
For a while, I layed down on the grass and stretched out The winter grass wasn't too soft as I could feel round caused chills to rise up
To repeat the same actions every day for hundreds of ti unconditionally in pain The skin that ripped off fro to heal at least The first few days, just by practicing on swinging the sword down, I couldn't feel anything in my palms as they became wholly numb Whenever the swordbetweenwith this heavy sword for the day would definitely cause you to be in this state
Well, despite running with that iron sobard every day, my hand was like a hand of a lady in the prime of her youth compared to my father's No, now this hand could only be compared to a patient of leprosy
But at least the dirty blisterto settle down
As for the store, it was just left at the state in which it was The place I' in is Grillard's General store owner Mr Cindebolp - a fa time When I had moved into their house, I first went back to our store and brought back a few things, but I still do not want to return and clean up just yet
After that incident, there was no one that had frequented Habiyanak as if it was a ghost town Even if no one said anything of it, after recovering the corpses, the road to Habiyanak becaht become a natural part of the White Mountains at this rate
By chance, I felt my other ar, but it's er and thicker than before
If I was like other children growing up with thea swordsh such hardshi+ps right now Nevertheless, as soeneral store owner along with ed fate, I becaed?
A like this in order to be a swordsman?
I becahts
In that briefdebt
For the past 18 years I was sooods, approach custooods Outside of that I do have a few ible
But whether it's my life or , vanished from my life like a dream It would've been nice if a fire had destroyed the store instead Then, at least I could construct a new hoh to buy the goods again and set up Even if it would take extre can be restored in tie, and those that would help me as well
But what I had lost was the foundations of my life, that entirety
The Habiyanak village that disappeared My acquaintances And my mother
Do I have the strength to rebuild another village? All the people I knew and spent time with, the many relationshi+ps that I valued which had frequently entered my life, could I actually restore this? Could I make my mother that had been by my side this entire time return to this place?
There's nothing I can do with th At least I can raise my swordsmanshi+p
Extending rab the hilt of the sword It hasn't been long since this had been a part of my life From the time I met Mirbo at the inn to now, it hasn't even been half a month, and compared to the 18 years, it's a period where I don't care whether I have this or not But right now, this is the tool that can sustain my life
To repeat it again, fro the sword, there was nothing else I would do
”Ahah……”
Nothing, this feeling of having to restart with nothing
What a exactly? Why do I have to practice the sword?
It's as if I was a baby born anew, as if I had just come out from the caves after 18 years of seclusion Well, it's not rocery store to a reclusive monk in meditation that is
Suddenly, I thought of my father
I had already vaguely expected it That ed
From the moment I first saw him, my father's splendid attire - inside the prison, I initially saw a dark-blue cape and a rare silver full plate arraved with sentences and inscriptions that allows you to switch froician's staff - made me think that there was no h status, but it was a sight to seedown to the people, especially to those who had sorasped what kind of person he was Not only that, the chiefs of Ember and Grillard came in search of my father and requested him to be the temporary representative of the province Of course, le sentence
”I don't want to reduce the time I spend with my son, who I was separated from for 18 years at all”
To the far southern province, where the capital of Blue Country was, the hts leader was my father
Ahhh, whenever I say this, it doesn't feel real When I first heard of this, I was greatly shocked, but nohen I say this, I could feel
Anyways, although I' this as if this story was relatively uncommon, but when I first heard of this fro the story at all and staring at him suspiciously So, I asked
”If you had such great strength, then how did you not find my mother and I?”
My father had always had an apologetic expression on his face whenever I brought forth this kind of conversation It was always the same, so it was a bit uncomfortable
”The tio Before then, I had secretly tried to find out by using other people, but it did not work For the last five years, it was extree organization……”
When the relationshi+p of my mother and father was first discovered (of course, it was brought out to light after e' revealed his relationshi+p with Ijinz to the high temple of Dunarion If you see ine him in his twenties Hmm) it was rumoured that there was criticism that arose within the territory of Nihts of Salvation that could refuse the king's orders, the subject of criticise in hand that he was nearly expelled
