I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)

"The names of those kids are Kinan and Flamea. And the child's name is Fran."

"Huh? Huh?

Whoa. You look like Fran's parents, you're layering on Fran, that's the level!

Kinan and Flamea. That name sounds familiar. Fran told me before, it's my parents' name. Honestly, I was afraid to decide on an ancient wound and I didn't hear it very deep...

'Well, that's...!

"Yes, they are. They are Fran's parents. I mean, they grew up in my orphanage."

Amanda says.

Tell me about Kinan and Flamea's childhood. And then the Yancha boys popped out of Amanda's hands, and after a journey full of misery, appeared before her again. In that hand, hold the newborn baby.

"I was as happy as I was when those kids came back to show me Fran. Since then, you've been exchanging letters? Like once a year, huh?

The Kinans were not able to send a letter from Amanda because they were traveling. For that reason, they could only wait for letters from the Kinans at all times.

"Still, when I heard about settling down in a village, I was heartbroken. It was complicated."

"Complicated? Why?

"It was a dangerous place. Something must have happened..."

The truth is, you wanted Fran's parents to quit the adventurer and come back. I can see those thoughts in every word.

But respecting their opinions, Amanda didn't try to bring them back.

"Even now, I have some worries about whether I should have been forced to bring him back... If I had brought them back, those kids might not have died."

Amanda's eyes, leaning down gently and whining, red.

"Fran and I didn't know each other when we met, but as soon as we talked a little, we figured it out. Fran said she was the baby then."

"Why... didn't you tell me?

"I'm sorry. I was scared. Those kids tell me it's because of you..."

Perhaps self-blame makes you think so. Besides, I could laugh off that if I knew about Fran, but if I didn't, I couldn't help but be anxious.

"That's not true!

"Fran..."

"Both your father and mother lived and died on their own. Like an adventurer. So it's not Amanda's fault."

Adventurers are at their own risk. All the ends are the result of one's own deeds. It's a tough, gentle way to be.

For the proud, it would be hell. But for the proud, it's a free way of life where no one can tie you up.

It is good to mourn death. But it is also an insult to the adventurer to blame himself for the death.

Fran's words, while comforting Amanda, were even in denial.

I guess I figured that out. Amanda rubbed her eyes lightly and lowered her head to Fran.

"I'm sorry...... Right. Those kids lived splendidly, as a one-man adventurer. On our own."

"Mmm."

"If you look at Fran, you'll see she was a fine adventurer."

"I?"

"Yeah. That's right. Even small, decent adventurer. I knew that when we met. That's why I didn't want to look like a guardian."

Parents of the raising of Fran's fathers. Come to think of it, you might have a right to be a guardian.

I should have thought about naming him and protecting Fran.

But Amanda didn't.

"So... so I decided to be a wall. Not as a guardian, but as a leader. I don't want to be a great imitator to lead. But I wanted to protect you, Fran."

Not as a guardian, but as a senior adventurer, I guess he sometimes accompanied me to requests, sometimes stood up as an enemy, and tried to leave me teaching Fran.

If Fran loses his life somewhere, Amanda should regret it for the rest of her life. But still, Amanda didn't try to force Fran to coach or anything.

Because you admitted Fran to being alone.

"Amanda...... Thanks."

"I'm the one, thank you. You're alive."

"... n"

In Fran's eyes, gently embraced by Amanda, was a thin, shiny object. It's not like my mother or my grandmother, but I guess I feel close to being hugged by my family.

"... both your father and mother said that even the Black Cats should be able to evolve..."

"Yes."

"I became a slave, I lost my name, and I only remembered your father and mother's face so loudly... So I, I wanted to evolve. If I didn't, I'd have forgotten about your fathers."

"Fran......"

Fran has always told me to inherit the will of my parents. Neither did I. I didn't go too deep in there.

Because evolution is important to the beasts of this world, and Fran wasn't uncomfortable with what he was aiming for.

But that wasn't all.

Evolution was a bond with the parents left to Fran. While you're looking to evolve, don't forget about your parents. That's what I thought.

'I'm sorry...... I don't even want to know...!

"No! Master is not bad! Me too, because I just figured it out... The real reason I wanted to evolve…"

"But..."

"It's okay. Besides, it was thanks to my master that I was able to evolve. Your father and your mother will be delighted."

'... yeah, I guess?

"Absolutely."

'Right...... I think so.'

"Mmm."

Fran didn't ask for an apology. Then you shouldn't apologize any more.

"... Master, let me thank you too. Thanks to you, Fran is laughing at me. Kinan and Flamea must be laughing."

'... I hope so'

"Absolutely. I really want to introduce you to my master, your father and your mother. But there's no tomb..."

"No, there's a grave."

"Huh?"

"Two bodies were not found. But I made a small grave with two artifacts."

"I didn't know."

"I really thought I'd tell you sooner, but I didn't have the courage to tell this story. I'm sorry."

"Yeah. More than that, tell me where the grave is"

"Yeah. Fine. The village's name is Castel. The place..."

Amanda retrieved a single map. Close to a circle, it's a map of things like an island. Point to that one point.

Sure, it said Castel.

"Where are we?

"This map is a map of the Goldician continent."

'What? Well, there's Castel...'

"Yes. Fran's parents lived in a special village, built inside the Goldician continent. The tomb is there, too."

"Castel...... I've heard of it...... maybe?

Is it the effect of being enslaved, or was it because you were young? They don't have clear memories of where they lived.

"Goldicia is a dangerous place. But I'm sure Fran will be fine now. I'm an advanced adventurer with each other."

"Mmm!"
