Episode 19.13-14 (1/2)
”Ah, Lecan, you're back.”
”Lecan-dono. Welcome back.”
”Yea. Eda. This is for you.”
”Eh. Ah, it's a short sword. Can I draw it out?”
”Of course.”
”This scabbard has such a lovely color. The tip is rounded off. It must be made from a nice wood. Up you go. Uwaa, the blade looks so awesome.”
”Where in the world did you get that Lecan-dono?”
”Bought it at a weapon shop.”
”I believe that is a sword used by my swordfighting school in the past.”
”Hou.”
”Eh, really. Then, Arios-kun, do you want this sword?”
”No, that is yours Eda-san. But I'd be happy if you could let me take a look for a moment.”
Arios busily looked at the sword from all angles and stared at the scabbard for a while.
”Thank you very much for allowing me see this fine article.”
”I wonder why was it at a weapon shop.”
”It might have been sold off due to financial trouble. How much was this?”
”Two gold coins and one big silver coin.”
”That is so cheap. Luck was on your side Lecan-dono. With this, the defensive form I taught Eda-san would go up one rank.”
”Eda, return the short sword I lent you.”
”Err. Can I not?”
”You don't need two swords.”
”Umm, you see. It's a spare for when this one breaks.”
”Take it then.”
”Thank you, Lecan.”
”But your spare should be a single-edged short sword too, we'll go order another later.”
”I got it.”
Even though she's got her left arm covered, Lecan is still worried she'll hurt herself with a double-edged sword. But a spare should be fine.
”I'm heading to Shira's house now. What about you guys?”
”I'm thinking of cleaning up the house.”
”I shall help with the cleaning. I have other business to attend to as well.”
You can live without cleaning anyway, what a weird bunch, thought Lecan.

”We're off to gather herbs on the 31st. What do you think about bringing Eda-chan along too?”
”Right. Let's. How many days will it take?”
