Chapter 268 Crimson Sword

Part 2

“Eh!? Heh? Wh-What is it!? No, what was the pigeon chain??? Are you doing something again!? What did you notice!?” (Eva)

You don’t have to be so agitated…… It is sooo funny to see Eva, who is always so calm and collected, in a panic. It is kind of soothing.

“It is nothing. Everything is fine, everything is fine.” (Cry)

“Is it also fine that Tino-san is secretly telling the whole Clan that 『Master~ is going to slaughter every single one of them and all their families』 ?” (Eva)

That is…… Seriously not fine at all.

Even a High-level Hunter is not allowed to slaughter everyone including all of their families, and of course, hanging the corpse of a criminal on the gate of the Imperial Capital is also not allowed. Well, I stopped Liz with an appropriate reason, so I am sure she won’t do such a thing――But my reputation is going to fall again.

I feel like my credibility with Tino has been declining lately.

“The Members of the Clan are also wavering. Apparently, there is talk about striking before a tragedy occurs――.” (Eva)

I…… I didn’t say anything, but the situation is progressing by itself……

It is true that the Clan House has been attacked, and you can take action if you like, but please don’t blame me for anything that you will do.

“………… It is such a dangerous world out there.” (Cry)

“Don’t tell me you think you are going to get away by just saying that?” (Eva)

For some reason, even the slightest actions have caused me a lot of trouble recently…… Sitting still is probably the right thing to do.

When I gave a big yawn, Luke, who was holding up his wooden sword and observing it, looked at me as if he suddenly remembered something.

“Speaking of which, Cry, my “Master (Shisho)” said that if you have time, you should come and see him. Apparently, he has something to discuss with you.” (Luke)

“With the “Sword Saint (Kensei)”? Despite the situation being what it is――Cry-san, you really have a wide personal network of connections.” (Eva)

Rather than a personal network, I am sure it is going to be another complaint. That is what it is most of the time.

In particular, Liz and Luke’s “Master’s (Shisho)” have a much higher call and complaint rate than the others. They complain in the name of consultation, which is unbearable.

By the way, Sytry, Lucia, and Anthem-related calls often give me VIP treatment and ask for opinions, but that is a problem in its own way.

“……………… Do you have any idea why?” (Cry)

“Hmmm, Nop.” (Luke)

There’s no way there isn’t. Remember! You are too unaware of things like this.

Eva is also looking at Luke with worried eyes. When prompted by her gaze, Luke frowned and groaned for a while, and then said as if suddenly remembered something.

“………… Aaaaah, maybe it’s about that. The other day, “Master (Shisho)” was carrying the two swords that he always uses, and I was wondering which one was the strongest, so I asked him.” (Luke)

Unlike Luke, Luke’s master, the “Kensei (Sword Saint)”, was a swordsman among swordsmen, from his body to his soul. Possessing both strength and integrity, he earned the respect of every swordsman in the Imperial Capital and possessed many famous swords as a sword collector.

Although he has a ban on carrying a sword in his belt, Luke also loves swords. I remember the first time he came face to face with the “Sword Saint (Kensei)”, Luke looked at the sword in his hand with a *kirakira* twinkle in his eye.

“Then “Master (Shisho)” said he didn’t know, so I secretly tried to see which one was stronger, and somehow――Both broke.” (Luke)

“…………!?” (Eva)

“In other words, the Crimson Heavenly Sword and the Azure Spirit Sword were both equally strong swords. They had the same length, too, so they went well together in a dual sword style.” (Luke)

…… Un, un, that’s right.

Luke’s expression showed no remorse at all, even though breaking two of his “Master’s (Shisho)” swords was an outrage that could have gotten him killed, let alone excommunicated.

Maybe the most terrifying thing is the power of a High-level Hunter who has absorbed a lot of Mana Material. Relics are sturdy and swords that aren’t Relic are usually not something that is easily breakable, but apparently, that doesn’t matter when you’re a genius swordsman like Luke.

………… Isn’t it usually the other way around? Shouldn’t it be that because of your skill, you can’t break swords that would break easily if handled by an amateur?

There, Luke crossed his arms and squinted.

“…… No, wait. Is it about breaking the sword that “Master (Shisho)” cherishes during the “Lightning God Sword (Raijinken)” training? Because with a wooden sword, no matter how many times you try it, it’s just going to turn into dust……” (Luke)

How many swords are you going to break before being satisfied!? That “Lightning God Sword (Raijinken)”, is a recent event, isn’t it!? That’s definitely the reason for the call.

Weapons aren’t cheap.? In this day and age, the price of weapons is sky-high unless you are making them yourself. Not to mention Relics, some swords forged by blacksmiths cost more than 100,000,000. When it comes to the kind of sword that the “Sword Saint (Kensei)” possesses, how much would it be worth in terms of monetary value――In the first place, a sword is like a soul for a swordsman.? Luke, who is using a wooden sword, might not understand though.

I have no idea why Luke has not been excommunicated yet. Eva is also stunned by his story.

What would happen if I unconcernedly answer his call……? The “Sword Saint (Kensei)” isn’t a brute like Luke, but he is a swordsman feared throughout the Imperial Capital.? He is also greedy for strength, and I was once challenged to a serious match with him.

I don’t want to see him as much as possible and would rather not expose myself in front of an angry “Sword Saint (Kensei)”.

Is there any way to get him to forgive Luke for his barbaric act――That’s right…… To replace his broken sword, I can give him a rare Sword-type Relic to put him in a good mood――.

Then I saw a box at my feet. It was a box containing a gift from Eliza.

I take a deep breath and lift up the sword wrapped in the black cloth that I have been eyeing the most among all the things inside.

I removed the cloth. Inside of it was a straight sword with a crimson blade. Gilbert’s sword also had a crimson blade, but the red of this sword was even darker and deeper.

“Ouuuuuh!? What’s this sword――” (Luke)

I tried looking it up in my Relics Encyclopedia, but in the end, I couldn’t identify it. Although Sword-type Relics have been studied extensively, I still couldn’t identify it, so it must be a fairly rare Relic. I was going to ask Martis-san to appraise it, but I can’t escape without making some sacrifices.

I don’t know if it can replace the sword that Luke broke, but I guess this must be destiny. Besides, I just had a rough time at the Supreme Martial Arts Festival with a Sword-type Relic.

Taking a deep breath again, I rewrapped the sword in the cloth and placed it on the desk.

“I can’t go, but you can take this to your “Master (Shisho)” instead. It’s quite a rare item.” (Cry)

Its performance as a sword is unknown, but it is a beautiful sword. This will probably put the “Sword Saint (Kensei)” in a better mood.

If you know the power it has, please let me know……

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

So Luke is seriously trying to master the Raijinken

I wonder how long before he really uses it against an enemy

And Cry will be (*???)

Tchao à plus!
