Chapter 64 (2/2)
Hiiro: 「Haa-(18)!」
Hiiro used his katana to cut the stem of the 《Golden Rose》 The 《Golden Rose》 was splendidly severed from the Parasitic Cactus’ body The body of the Parasitic Cactus that was of a green tint, changed to an earthly shade before collapsing as if it were made of sand Only the 《Golden Rose》 remained
Taking the 《Golden Rose》 on top of the sand that was once the Parasitic Cactus, Hiiro spat out a sigh with a Fu~(19) Following this, as if suddenly occurring to him, he looked towards Silva
Seeing the state that Silva was in, Hiiro widened his eyes without thinking As to why, this is because…
Silva: 「Fu~, yareyare(20)」
As if he were sian to brush off the needles with a pasapasa(21) In addition, he was doing it nonchalantly
Hiiro: 「…Jii-san, the poison?」
No matter how one looked at it, Silva’s countenance was not one of so Hiiro’s doubts, Silva returned his question with a pleasant smile
Silva: 「There is no issue」
Hiiro: 「…ha-(22)?」
Silva: 「Because I am a Butler」
Hiiro: 「……」
As Hiiro’s cheat was also outside the realm of the ‘standard’, he couldn’t help but feel a connection with the elderly man before him who had apparently also exceed the norm
Hiiro: 「Oi, weren’t you speaking really painfully earlier?」
Certainly, during the ti the flower, his face was distorted in considerable pain
Silva: 「Nofofofofo……let us just say, that I conformed with the atmosphere?」
Hiiro: 「…this Jiji(23)」
Piki(24) A blue vein appeared on Hiiro’s forehead It seemed that he had only put on an act in order to fit the situation
Silver: 「In any case, Hiiro-sama The 《Golden Rose》 is…?」
Hiiro: 「…ha~(25), here」
Even if he were to pursue further, Hiiro somehow understood that Silva would just answer ‘Because I a the truth in a cloud of mist As he determined that this meant the butler did not want to disclose anyfurther
Silva: 「Oo~, with this, I can finally return to the mansion!」
As he received the 《Golden Rose》 fro both his hands around it, he raised it towards the sky, using it as a background as he gazed at it
Silva: 「I arateful, Hiiro-sama! It was truly thanks to you that I was able to obtain the ite for without harm! Nofofofofo!」
Hiiro: 「Good for you」
As Hiiro said this without any particular feelings charged into it, he sheathed his katana Seeing this, Silva expressed an 「Oo~」as he tapped his hand with a pon(26)
Silva: 「Speaking of which, about our previous conversation…」
Hiiro: 「Ah? …Aa, you mean about the katana?」
In thethe 『Thorn Sword – Piercer』 His atmosphere indicated that he was familiar with it
Silva: 「Indeed I believe that is the 『Thorn Sword – Piercer』, correct?」
Hiiro: 「Aa, what of it? It’s not for sale」
Silva: 「Nofofo! I a that I desire that katana It is just that as it has been such a long tiet a little emotional with my words」
Hiiro: 「A long time? You’ve seen it?」
Silva: 「Indeed That katana happens to be one produced by a dear friend of mine Well, 『Thorn Sword – Piercer』 was a prototype that was developed in a single attempt, but…」
Hiiro: 「A prototype…you say?」
Silva: 「Indeed Although he is a Gabranth, he is a swordsmith(27) that has an aric~ I wonder as to how he is doing right now…」
As he saw Silva’s distant eyes iia, Hiiro opened his mouth with a skeptical expression
Hiiro: 「This is a prototype?」
If you were to put it succinctly, its sharpness was outstanding and its ease of use was adroup This katana, Hiiro couldn’t count how ht that its absence would undoubtedly have made his journey more difficult
Hearing that such workmanshi+p amounted to a prototype at most, Hiiro could not help but suspect those words
Silva: 「That is, without a doubt, a prototype I say this because his genuine works often have his signature applied to the hilt and the blade」
Upon closely inspecting the katana, Hiiro could not find anything resenature
Silva: 「In addition, if that were genuine, a 」
Hiiro: 「…so his real works are at that level, huh?」
Silva: 「You are correct Well, even if a prototype, his katanas tend to select their oners In my eyes, that katana appears to be very satisfied Satisfied that it is in the hands of a good owner」
In the face of this state infested in hirow sick due to the cozy ate the topic
Hiiro: 「A-any way Where’re you going froht Jii-san?」
Silva: 「Eh? Ah, indeed If ere to advance, ould soon reach the granite area As it is a doard slope from there, the exit of the mountain will follow soon after」
Hiiro: 「I see Then let’s hurry up and move」
Silva: 「As you wish」
Hiiro: 「Oi, Yodare-Tori(28)! Show yourself!」
As Hiiro called for Mikazuki, she poked her head out from behind a tree with a hyoko(29)
Hiiro: 「Yosh, let’s quickly get out of this mountain」
