Episode 186: A Young Girl Takes a Sword

By the time he became aware, the girl was taken by her parents and moved from place to place. It was a daily thing for the girl, and at that time I wasn't questioning much.

For the girl, her father was a dragon and her mother was an elf.

His father was quiet and always steep, but he valued his daughter more than anyone. My mother is a very beautiful woman and always hugged her. There was no doubt that the girl's parents were giving her generous affection, and she was not dissatisfied with her absence.

The parents, however, occasionally apologized for wandering, but the girl replied with a laugh, saying, "I have a father and a mother." Parents could understand that it was not a lie, but they seemed to be terrified of putting their daughter in an environment where they naturally thought so.

However, those happy days came to an end suddenly one day.

Strangely, it was on the way to the Diagar Empire @ Dragunir. The girl and her parents were attacked by someone.

"The girl didn't remember exactly what happened. The only thing that's barely remembered is the sword-waving father's back and the warmth of the mother holding herself."

When I noticed, the girl was lying in a hospital bed. And next to that bed was his mother.

"The girl and her mother were brought to Dragunir's hospital."

At first I couldn't understand what was going on. However, his father, who usually does not express his emotions, stood with his wife with a deep expression of regret and sadness.

The girl remembers a little.

"Just before losing consciousness, the scene of a deeply pierced blade in the mother's chest protecting herself and the feeling of the falling blood."

Unfortunately, her mother received the blade near her heart, a wound that her recovery magic could not handle. He barely extended his life with magic and medication, but it was only a matter of time before the lights of life went out.

"The girl despaired, because her beloved mother was mortally wounded over herself."

She was a screaming girl, but neither her father nor her mother blamed her. I was just glad that the girl was safe. Even if it made the girl still sad.

A few days after the girl regained consciousness, her mother's best friend, who later became the girl's teacher, visited the room. The reunion had this shape, and her mother was smiling apologically to her best friend who shed tears.

母親 And my mother died three days later.

"The last thing he smiled was a smile. It didn't look like a dying human."

The voice of the speaker, Real, was shaking.

"The girl who took care of her mother's end decided."

ろ う Become a person like your mother.

人 Become a person who can protect someone even if you bet on your life.

The flowing tears did not stop and the sadness was overflowing. But she did not cry. Because he had a strong feeling in his heart.

"The father who heard that thought gave the girl his sword."

If ──, be strong. In order to protect important people and not to make them sad.

"'I couldn't protect my beloved wife, don't be like me.'"

The father said so and disappeared. Since then, she has never appeared before a girl until today. Its whereabouts, or even death, are unknown.

"... Why did my father disappear from the girl?"

In my question, Real shook his head without force.

"I don't know. The teacher of the girl who received the letter from her father and her mother, or maybe she knows, she never told her about the letter."

And the girl who was lonely in her lifetime was taken over by her mother's best friend, Reedial. Having received a will from her mother, Riedial was willing to accept her last friend's last wish.

"Since being taken by Riedial, the girl has been thinking about how to be a strong person, like her mother, who can protect someone like her father's words."

The option of "military" came to mind when I kept thinking every day.

It was weird, but the important people for the girl were her father and her mother.

One is dead but the other is missing. Riedial, who took over and lived together, gradually became one of those important people.

"... he's a person who doesn't die if he kills. I can't imagine the sight being protected by anyone."

Real with his arms crossed said groaning.

"How strong was a grandmother before retirement?" "If I could do my best during the heyday, even today I would have no teeth." "Uge, that much." "Reedial is a magician and close. He loves combat.He created many weapons using geo-attribute magic, and ran through the battlefield endlessly. Therefore, two people named "Thousand Blades" were named "Thousand Bladers."

Anyway, she wanted to be a strong person who could protect someone, but she had no one to protect.

Then I thought that I would be a person who could protect "many people" instead of someone important. That's why he wanted to be a soldier to protect the nation.

"... I guess I'm not going to be too good while being a child."

Really bitterly, Real smiled.

It is good that the aspirations are good, but the girls are still less than ten children. He was too young to join the army.

So the next thing that came to my mind was being a disciple of a guardian, Riedial. Reedial, already well-known as an S-rank adventurer, was the most suitable to talk to his teacher.

"With the understanding that he will join the Imperial Army in the future, Riedial was willing to accept the girl as a disciple."

Perhaps the best way to teach was to fight, Riedial trained a disciple girl first as an adventurer.

Unlike the Imperial Army, which has an age limit, adventurers can register if they can demonstrate their skills. A girl trained by the Riedal became an adventurer at the age of only ten.

In this way, the adventurer 竜 Regulus, later called “Dragon Sword,” was born.

A few months have passed since he became a disciple of Riedial.

Fortunately, the girl seemed to have inherited the great talents of her parents, raising her arms with each passing day. By the age of thirteen, he had become a B-rank adventurer and had grown up to the point of being able to take on highly difficult tasks alone.

"One such day. He appeared in front of the girl." "That man?" "It is His Majesty Emperor Kerion Diagar."

Taken by Riedial, the girl visited a certain noble residence. There was a person who wanted to meet with the girl via the teacher.

That person was Emperor Diagar.

After this encounter, the girl knew for the first time that her father was the emperor's elder brother, the bloodline of the imperial family. Reedial was a fact that he never knew until his emperor contacted him. Apparently, the letter from his best friend did not mention this fact.

"Why did the emperor know that the girl was a member of the imperial family? It wasn't even a publicity." "The reason is the 'sword' inherited by the girl."

When he first registered as an adventurer, he used weapons provided by Riedial, but he gained a great sword from his father when he was promoted to rank C.

A normal sword breaks without realizing the strength of Real who has grown. Even if the craftsman hits it with all his power, it will soon become useless in one or two battles.

In that respect, the great sword given by her father, despite its weight, accepted all of her strength and was able to shake without any distortion or spilling, no matter how violently handled. It was just a sword prepared for her.

Heavy Sword While still young in his early teens, he wields a sword that exceeds his height, and is a disciple of an S-rank adventurer. As the predecessor of "Dragon Sword", two names of "" were beginning to spread among adventurers.

"... No way, is that sword a treasure sword that has been handed down from generation to generation?"

The emperor's brother had been dazzling for a long time, and a young adventurer was waving his sword at that time. It was obvious that the girl was involved.

The emperor asked him about the matter and confessed that he had inherited his sword from his father.

"Speaking of that, when I first met, I said, 'My grandfather and my father took part in the battlefield.'" To be precise, this story wasn't seen directly with my grandfather, but I heard it from people. " "... I'm surprised that the sword that was spinning brilliantly was a national treasure, and that it was still brought to the battlefield beyond that point." "The girl will return immediately after hearing the story He said, `` Weapons are to be shaken, and those who should should have them. ''

My buddy girl was relieved to not let go of my beloved sword. In this way, the sword continues to travel across many battlefields as a girl.

After encountering the emperor, the girl further refined her skills and eventually became the youngest A-ranked adventurer at the age of fifteen to gain the name of "Ryuken". After one year of rank A, she continued her adventures for a year, and the girl finally joined the Imperial Army.

"And to this day, he is on the corner of the Imperial patron as Regulus of the Phantom Dragon Knights."
