Hitsugi no Maou

It is known that a single human being can possess such strength.

Warriors, swordsmen, a race that pursues moves and forces for roughly battle, the closer they get to the strongest realm, the more they will come to know its reality.

I am immature in boasting of my sharpened sword moves and bragging that there is nothing to be afraid of. Good combatants always know their limits and their weakness.

Mortal cortex. The speed at which it deteriorates. People die when they fall, but they die, and the strength they gain once corrodes over time.

In order to be strong, you must continue to work out your fragile human body patiently. It doesn't boil, it doesn't boil... but the power and moves that I have honed up are all taken away by aging and death.

A strong man is always distressed by how valuable his strength is. Fears of being outrun by backwards, injuries and illnesses, and anxiety about not being able to hold the sword, always stick together.

The days that we have been fighting strong rivals will eventually turn into days when we are frightened and left alone by our own age and health.

Those who know the existence of such suffering, associate themselves with fear of being strong, and defeat...... never overconfident in their power.

Respect for values other than nature and violence, without laughing at the weak or those who do not hold the sword, and become humbled to behave.

That's why a person named Ars of the Twin Swords disliked the current union of snobber adventurers and the way the snobber army... and Yuk, who shamelessly wielded power beyond his portion.

"Five Great Swords Saint..."

"I know you're dissatisfied. It will be hard for you to be alone with those who are inferior to you who have no one to line up in the Snowba Adventurers' Union."

After the revolution, when the Adventurers' Union forced him to give him a cheap title, Adventurer Legrand, who was one of his best friends, said so and scorned Ars.

He had also just been given the title of 'Holy Three Swordsmen' by the union in the same period, organized with a pair who had little intimacy.

Director General Leo Sandra suddenly started selling the title cheap. The majority of the adventurers were happy to accept it, but the original selling advanced adventurers like Ars and Legrand had some bitter feelings about the attitude of the organization that gave union members two lofty names for no reason whatsoever.

Ars' Five Great Swords Saints is said to be the title given to the five swordsmen considered the best in the Adventurers' Union.

But the selection criteria are unknown, and there are two names among the titles already held by other adventurers: "Ten Holy Swords" or "Sword Kings".

There are countless titles representing the best swordsmen. Now there was no point in being given a title.

"What, does Master Ars prefer your thunder name to the title given by the General Director? Don't you feel bad because you stand up a little bit? Yeah?"

I was visiting the Ars Inn that night with Le Grand, the Snoba Saint Swordsman song The sword Salida shouted as she snubbed a needle crushed clam on the bed.

Immediately Legrand grabs the cup while sitting in the chair and throws it at Salida. Salida instantly pulled out her hip song sword and cut off the wooden cup into two straight pieces as she turned the sasori around.

Luglan, wearing a big hat made of rat skin, slams a curse at Salida, who laughs at him.

"Don't let the whore talk to us like that! I just asked for directions for the trip once, and you're facing my people!

"Heh, you're one of us once we've put together. In fact, again, I'm one of the strongest Ars in the Adventurers' Union."

"... until today, too. I have to work with the other Holy Three Swordsmen, and Ars has to behave as the Five Great Swordsmen. The party is over."

To Le Grand, who had spoken plainly, Ars opened his mouth, staring at the wine in the cup.

"I guess that's what this is all about. The union's selling the title cheaply to tear apart people like us."

"Ah? What do you mean?

Salida, waking herself up, spilled the sauce from her mouth and dropped it on her own chest.

Staring at the scabbard and the escaping sasori, Ars drinks up the grapes at once.

"Do you remember what General Yuk said during the revolution?" From now on, everyone is the hero, everyone is the hero, "he said. The general who destroyed the emperor system and entrusted the country to the hands of the people thinks that all but himself and his own belly must be 'equal'.

We share titles with more anonymous adventurers to bury prominent adventurers of honor and strength. If we continue to give a large number of similar titles to a large number of adventurers, the very thing called titles will no longer be worth it.

The three of us are going to be one of those "title-holders" who can't tell the difference. "

"... No way. A title issued by a union is a testament to an individual's accumulated merit, right? Until now, there was only enough to hold the title and count for itself. We were talking about whether or not we could finally get it at our level, and I can't believe we're using it that way."

"I guess that means that the very existence of such a 'gift to the special' does not fit General Euk's values.

... Hey Salida. We've been responsible for the adventures we've been on, as the best adventurers. "

His eyes narrowed sharply as Ars glowed his golden eyes.

"I've been thinking most about how much benefit the world will get as a result of my adventure, not how much I can enjoy it.

Travelling along the border is not to vandalize an undisclosed land, but to follow your questioner and give him information to the cartographer. It was to exterminate the nest of vermin that attacked the village, and it was to defend the lives and reputations of oneself and others who fought against the enemy.

That's the right way to be an adventurer. And because we've protected it, we've become the most famous party in the country. "

Legrand nods to Ars' words and Salida fingers the hole in his ear.

Ars glanced at his own double sword against the wall as he squeezed the cup of wood.

"The title is worth it because it comes with the right beliefs and actions. If a title is even given to a student who is as greedy and rampant as he pleases, the title will not bring self-restraint or justice to the adventurer.

Even the Adventurers' Union, as a special armed group, is an organization that makes it easy to get criminals out. In General Yuk's way, the union falls to the point of falling "

"I don't know what to say... you're out of time"

Salida getting out of bed laughed as she approached Ars.

"Faith or justice? An adventure that benefits the world? The time has come for such values to pass. It's a revolution, Revolution. We adventurers are a violent revolutionary group that defeated the top of the country aboard General Yuk's" Rebellion ".

This inn you're staying in is built on dirt stained with the blood of a party of emperors and many other people. You must have killed a lot of people in the revolution. "

"No, I didn't kill Ars. … delivered some of the Imperial soldiers I killed under false pretences as Ars' handles."

To Legrand, who said with a distraction, Salida shrugged her shoulders and stood in front of Ars and tilted her neck.

"Therefore do not kill the unknown. Doesn't brutality work? But that's not the kind of military state that war-loving, or the kind of country that a violent revolution could be."

"The country is the country. I'm me. Whatever attitude the country takes, it doesn't change my belief."

"I mean, the revolution went against your belief, didn't it? Then don't let Legrand cover you. I would have killed an unarmed people. I should have stood in front of our Adventurers' Union and fought until I died. He's the strongest swordsman."

Ars grabbed Legrand's hand when he stood up. Continue laughing invincibly as Salida pulls herself back.

"In the end, the strength of each person means you can't change the movement of the country. Your beliefs don't change snobbery.

The adventure ahead is gonna be a lump of greed you hate. The adventurer will board the undisclosed land with General Euk, a profession that will revolve around offending any good of the land. Dreaming of a world you haven't seen yet, and taking what you want from the barbarians you meet on your expedition, is the definition of "adventure."

……

"All you can do is bypass the movements of those times. At best, distort your mouth in the midst of atrocities. As long as you're a famous adventurer, you have to follow General Yuk.

... but look. Even if the title is worthless, I'll make it. I'll be the top executive standing beside the general. Otherwise, I'll call you back. "

Salida suddenly softened her voice and pounded Ars' hand grabbing Lugran's wrist, slapping him.

To her leaving the inn with eyes that looked down immediately afterwards, Ars continued to stare at his double-sword as he dropped his squeezed cup on the floor.
