Chapter 229 (2/2)
“Ehem! Well, it’s a story of a boy named Hiiro”
“Ahh, that’s right”
He nodded in assent as he recalled Because his beast ears twitched slightly, Lilyn thought of it to be pretty cute
“A boy named Hiiro You talked only a little about hiht?”
Yes As soon as Lilyn came to the Demon Country Xaos, she went to Cruzer’s whereabouts io because it’s troublesome so she had no choice but to leave him for a week
“Was there so about that boy?”
“To tell you the truth, it’s what in his hand”
“What do you mean?”
It is……one of Cruzer’s creations”
“…………”
The smile on Silva’s face vanished, and was replaced with a serious expression
“Frankly speaking, though it has changed a little froinal due to circu Blade・Tsuranuki”
(TL Note: Again, I have changed the wordings for this one The original is 《刺刀・ツラヌキ》which was translated as Thorn Sword・Piercer by Anri-sama, but to retain the name which is in Katakana, I decided to renaeki)
“Oh……so it’s that child……”
He closed his eyes to recall, and opened it again and stared at Silva
“That child is one of those prototypes that I’ve created in order to produce certain swords Even though I call it a prototype, it’s an excellent child, so I say So, what about that child?”
“Right now, it has been renaeki”
“…Eh?”
He stared wide-eyed in surprise, unable to comprehend
“W-wait a eki (Slasher)? The naed? Impossible As far as I know, they are separate entities, and I have entrusted Slasher to a certain person What on Edea happened?”
With a slight delay, Silva spoke
“Well, we looked around the Demon country for half a hear”
“Yes, I heard about that Honestly, I was surprised that you moved out of your castle……”
“Right? That reminds me, it was in that castle that milady and Cruzer met for the first time”
“Hmph, to even refuse my invitation at that time…”
Pouting in dissatisfaction, Cruzer could only give her a bitter s yet inviting him to live there will surely make him insecure
“Getting back to thethis mid-year”
“A certain person?”
“Yes Zaft-dono, a master blacksmith”
“Zzaft-Zaft, you say!?”
He repeated hireed
“Yes I heard from him that he was your disciple”
Cruzer narrowed his eyes and looked down
“Disciple……disciple, is it? It’s true that I gave preliminary lessons to him, but it’s just the basics”
Such story is heard
When Cruzer was touring around the world, he set foot on the De’un na to be a ot depressed, or so he said
For Cruzer whose passion was lost as adazed by the passion of this person, he taught hi in kindness on impulse
He’s like a dry sponge, and only within approximately one week, he is now on the levels of one of the best
“He said the basics you taught were very easy to understand, and it contributed greatly to what he is now, or so he said”
“………is that so”
He’s like a child shyly scratching his cheeks in eh he’s not formally his pupil, he doesn’t feel bad
“It was Zaft-dono who transforeki”
“I see I had handed it to hi his best for that one week I thought that if it’s hi But if I’m not mistaken, Slasher is supposed to have ended its role and can’t be used anymore”
Like he said, Rending Blade・Zangeki was broken at the middle, so it cannot be used as a sword anymore
“When I found that child, it was already in such state I wanted to carry and bury it in a secure place, but Zaft wanted that child”
Therefore he gave it as a reward, to not hurt that person
“It’s just what Cruzer-dono said But because of that, Zaft-dono wanted it to be revived”
“Eh?”
“I want to catch up to nizeback this sword that died back to life again”
“……Zaft said such things? No, that would be difficult That child is the coo No ood his arain without it Using the materials to make a common sword even……ah”
As he saw the face of Silva, he noticed Silva nods again to answer that
“Hiiro-sama has also come with us And in his arms is the prototype Tsuranuki you made”
“…………was it really combined?”
He arrived at that answer, not hiding is surprise
Yes They happened to pass the neighborhood by chance, and Zaft who saw the Piercing Blade・Tsuranuki entreated Hiiro to rebuild the Rending Blade・Zangeki by all means
However, Hiiro didn’t like to leave the sword to soinning After begging over and over again, Hiiro stated a condition of showing his arms first
Then Zaft brought Hiiro to his atelier, where the view of various swords mixed in there should impress him Various kinds of katana were displayed there
Though Hiiro had seen a lot of swords already, he haven’t seen those of katana designs that much, and in contrast to Lilyn doesn’t care too much about them, Hiiro is especially charmed by the characteristic of the katana and thus, he was nodding in satisfaction to the articles displayed
All the swords are surely well-ory of what Hiiro is looking for However, that’s until Zaft brought the Rending Blade・Zangeki over
Hiiro who saas fascinated even though it is broken This only shows that he clearly liked it
He liked to see the sword being revived by all means When he told that the katana will be repaired if he were to offer the sword, Hiiro accepted it readily
Considerable time is needed to nificently, and thus, the Rending Blade・Zangeki was reborn
Silva asked whether it is really okay for hiave one condition upon handing the sword Besides, he was already satisfied of being able to make such a sword
And the only condition is: If they were to ain, he wants him to show the katana to him
And this is e’re here, Cruzer-dono Thank you very much, he said”
“…………He became such a splendid master blacksmith, eh”
Was he deeply moved? Cruzer stared his eyes in a distance However, that deep e words
“Thanks to that katana, Hiiro-saht victory to the duel with the Gabranth”
“Zangeki ………… was used for war?”
It changed colared at Silva with a harsh look
