Continental Hero Senki

From the Shadows of a Quiet Lakeside Forest (Modified)

When we hit the base, most of the enemy cavalry was sitting or sleeping.

The enemy did not have time to pull out his sword, and bled one after the other and went down.

Some went to eternal sleep unaware that they were being attacked by their enemies.

It wasn't what you could call combat, it was close to unilateral genocide.

I don't remember how many people I killed.

I just remember the fact that I say I killed people.

There was still a real feeling in my hands that I stabbed a sword at people.

The fight ended in just minutes.

◇ ◇

Sarah approached me from somewhere as I incinerated the body of an enemy soldier with a fireball.

"Yuzef, are you okay?

"... yeah"

It's okay...... it's not. But I'm surprisingly calm. I was terribly surprised at myself. You killed a man.

"... really?

Sarah's worried about you today. I'm not even like my usual girlfriend.

A regular girlfriend would kick me right now and force me to get back on my feet.

"It's gonna be okay."

I'm just a little tired right now.

"Killing people is surprisingly getting used to it. It's fast to get used to, even though it's a contraindication that you shouldn't do it as a person"

"The platoon chief got used to it early, too?

"Ah. I don't remember ahead of you from 10. Than that, Sergeant Novak...... was it? Are you gonna be okay?

"What do you mean you're okay?

"You would have killed people, too. Are you all right?

I'm not the first killer.

"Ho. Don't make funny jokes. You are."

"I'm not kidding, though."

"... well. Well, I guess that's what some kids do in the world."

"Yeah, you're surprised."

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

I have at hand the sword that I killed, the captain of the enemy cavalry and the thoughtful figure had.

I think I'll take it back.

To remember the first time I killed an unknown enemy soldier, to remember this feeling.

We rested in the lake, which was an enemy stronghold, and the next day we returned to the village.

The damage done to allies in the base raid was one death in action and three injuries. The result is the destruction of the enemy cavalry.

Now, the princess and the supply line would have been safe.

On my way back to the village where the princess is, I was watching the sword of the enemy cavalry captain in my hand. But after watching for about 10 minutes, I noticed the discomfort.

The identity of the discomfort was quickly discovered.

... you might want to report it to the platoon leader.

"Platoon leader, do you mind?"

"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine. Are you feeling all right?

"It's not complete, but, well, it's okay"

I'm not lying. I'm just coming to my heart.

So, what can I do for you?

"I want you to see this."

I give the sword to Lieutenant Tarnovsky.

"This is the sword that was held by a person who appeared to be the captain of the cavalry earlier"

"What's wrong with this? It's certainly a captain's sword from the decorations..."

"What I want you to see is the part of the violin."

"Tsk...?

On the sword of this world - no, maybe it was in previous life - the part of the (10) is engraved with the prints of the country of manufacture.

In the case of the Kingdom of Silesia, for example, there is a pattern imitating the white eagle, which is the national seal. In Carlsbert's case, it's definitely a silver lion.

But for some reason, this sword had no tattoo.

Regardless, emphasis on manufacturing efficiency may also obviate the decoration of prints and swords. But the decoration of this sword, as the lieutenant put it, was quite sumptuous decoration of the captain's ranks.

There was a strange part of this sword that had only decorations and no tattoos.

"There are no tattoos of wax...? Sure this is weird. It is not uncommon to omit decorations and tattoos, and it is quite true that there are no laborious decorations to make and only tattoos. But it's weird to have decorations and no prints."

Why there are no tattoos. I could only think of one answer.

"I guess this sword wasn't made by Carlsbert, it was made in a third country"

"... so that's a hell of a thing"

This is outrageous. A third-country sword was held by a cavalry captain whose task was to raid the princess.

"Wasn't that cavalry, or at least the cavalry leader, a man from that third country, not Carlsbert's military?"

Military personnel from third countries carried out their tasks in cooperation with the Karlsbert army.

Perhaps there was also the possibility that this third country was involved in the phase of the coup d 'état.
