106-106 Bathing ticket (2/2)

”Parry.

As I swatted away the spear that was straight for my neck, there was a huge spark in the forest and I felt a considerable impact on my hand.

But the spear didn't break, it bent and swung again like a living thing, aiming for my neck again.

”Parry!

So, instead of fighting the momentum of the oncoming spear, I pushed my black sword against it as if I were cleaving it, changing the trajectory of the tip.

I've learned to do this recently.

This way, there is less of a gap after you hit the spear than if you hit it with force.

I have a little more time to wait for my opponent's next move.

Gilbert then distanced himself from me without coming at me again.

...... I think that's enough for today.

”Yeah?　I'm still good.

You're good, but I'm not. Look, ...... one more blow and I'm sure as hell gonna break.

The golden spear that Gilbert showed me had a pretty big crack in it.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with your loved ones, please do not hesitate to contact us.

However, if the crack is that big, I'll have to leave it alone for a whole day.

Unfortunately, we have to give up training with that spear for today.

I guess so. I got carried away. Sorry.

I'm sorry.” ”Well, it's okay, it's the same as always. ...... Why is it so easy to break an orichalcum? ...... What is it with that sword?

In the beginning, I couldn't get used to handling the black sword, and I broke Gilbert's spear, and every time I did, I had to stop my training.

However, I thought that this was rarely the case these days,.......

But apparently not so much.

I had no choice but to end the training that day there.

”Well, Gilbert. Here's a thank you for today. You can keep it.

”Thank you?　That's unusual. ...... No, I don't need a thank you.　Well, if you're going to give it to me, I'll take it. ...... What the hell is this?

Gilbert took the small piece of paper I gave him and stared at it intently.

It's a ticket to a new bathhouse that's opening in King's Landing.

”Bathing pass?

Ah. They're giving them out all over town to celebrate the opening of the restored waterway. They were handing them out all over town to commemorate the opening of the restored waterway. We got a lot of them, so we have some left over.

...... I see. Well, I'll take it. I might need it.

Please do.

Gilbert shouldered his spear, which had a large crack in it, and headed towards the King's City Street.

”See you at ....... Next time I won't let you break it.

”Yeah, I'll be careful next time. See you later.

After finishing my other training, I decided to sweat it out for the day earlier than usual.
