Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

"Refreshing. Nfufufu"

In the middle of a plain where the terrain changed due to an incredible fierce battle, Kaori kept clinging to me in a good mood, like a cat.

"Hah... I wonder how many traces you'll find out about this."

I sighed.

I think there is no way to deceive you.

Back in the day, in the Slime Road Crusade, I remembered a "trace of power" that I hadn't known before.

Traces of force hitting and destroying something are similar to the fingerprints on the fingers, and each one of them is different.

In other words, the trail of the great battle that destroyed this terrain will be mine if we can investigate it.

There's no way...

Speaking of which, it's a nostalgic force.

"Nostalgic power?

Kaori's words that have interrupted my thinking.

I stared at her as to what was going on.

"That's right. It's a little bit different from your nephew's waves of power. It's a nostalgic force."

"... maybe you know about Yukihikari?

I thought about it, and I asked Kaori the name I heard from Sofia.

Even as young as he looks, he is a long-lived demon king who has lived for hundreds of years.

There are many things that we didn't know, and I thought maybe.

"You mean Hikari Onee-sama? It's not."

"Hikari onee-sama... eh? Is Hikari onee-sama talking about Yukihikari?

"That's right."

"... oh"

I felt touched, or otherwise complicated.

"Hikari Onee-sama" has been heard many times from Kaori's mouth.

I didn't think it was the same person as Yukihikari.

Does that mean it's not Yuki Hikari, but Yuki Hikari?

"What happened to onee-sama?

"Uh, actually...."

I told Kaori about the seven coins.

The seven coins left behind by the First Contemporary Master, their hidden secrets.

Together after flipping all the coins, the young girl Yukihikari came out and gave her strength.

I told Kaori about it.

Then Kaori.

"That's not Hikari Onee-sama."

Huh?

"It's not onee-sama, it's Eleanor's illusion, onee-sama's mother."

"Mother's... phantom?

"That's right. Onee-sama's mother should be with her father. That's why I'm here. It's supposed to be a mirage."

Really?

I see.

Does that mean that Hikari Onee-sama's mother is the same as Kaori's mother?

Is that why you miss it? My nephew's power waves are the same as onee-sama's mother's. "

"Ah...."

I see.

I've missed the point, but I finally understand it here.

"So different?

I looked around.

Plains that have changed from terrain to terrain due to heavy fighting with kaori.

Rather than a plain, it is a valley with good terrain changes.

There is still smoke from this side that is burned by flames and lightning.

"Not at all."

"... I see. Does this force trace tell you it's me?

"Is it a trail? That's not true. It's totally different from what I've been doing before."

"... Nysu"

Perhaps my eyes are sparkling now.

If the traces of power are different, they will not lead to me from there.

This could be lucky.

"Yes, Kaori. Keep it to yourself that I have the power."

"Why is that?

"Absolutely."

"Well, I see. Instead, they're still sneaking around."

Ah.

I don't mind that.

If Kaori doesn't talk, there's no new power tied to me.

That's it... that's it.

The next day, I fell asleep in a comfort chair alone in the garden of the mansion.

You can control your power a lot, and you're feeling very relieved that you can go back to your daily life.

"Master, I see Shaw."

"The prince?

The maid who came told me about Shaw's visit.

Shaw the Aegina.

She is the Third Prince of the Kingdom of Igina and her brother, who is close to Lina.

It is also the opponent who has been a little entangled before.

"May I come through?"

"Oh, no, let me through the dock. No disrespect."

"Ahahah, don't worry about that, Hermes."

The moment I tried to get up, Shaw came to the garden with a persistent smile on his face.

That's how I got up in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I'm afraid I missed you."

"It's okay, we're here suddenly."

Ha.

I nodded ambiguously and looked down on the maid.

Shaw, the prince, can't come without anything.

I don't know what it's like, but I paid for it.

"So, Your Highness....."

"Yeah, well, before that, I wonder if you know anything about Cyfos."

Huh?

I stood up.

Cyfos... another medal?

"The Holy Sword of the Patriots, Cifos, the sword that Serene Mi Aegina taught Cano's first master about 400 years ago. The medal took its name from it."

"Oh, yeah."

"By the way, it's called the Three Great Swords of History."

"Three Great Swords"

The words were repeated as they were, with a bare reading.

"The Holy Sword Siphos, plus Luinas the Light Sword, the first ancient lord of Cano, and finally Eleanor the Magic Sword. Together, these three are sometimes called the Three Great Swords."

"Hah...."

"Sometimes, the demon King broke out on the Pluggia Plains."

"... eh"

It's you, isn't it?

"Well, what are you talking about? In the first place..."

I'll keep my mouth shut.

That power is not mine - it's stupid if you run away with information that only the killer knows.

And then I noticed it, and I kept my mouth shut.

But...

"I've officially heard from the Demon King that you've been 'playing' with Lord Cano lately. Then the Demon King said," I'm not close to my nephew, it's my mother's advice. "

"Be honest!!

I plunged into grandeur.

I mean, it's lewd to ask!

"We were troubled, too, by the presence of forces that fought the Devil more than each other. Maybe it's a new threat to humanity. I was relieved to know it was your new power."

"Mmmm...."

It may have been an accident.

An unknown existence that fought against the most powerful demon king in the world.

Of course it's a problem to be seen, of course it's a problem to be explored.

We should have covered it up more carefully.

"... can't you do that?"

I sighed.

The naive kaori's face fell on my head.

How did you cover it up or shut it down? Like how Shaw listened, you probably leaked it somewhere.

Well, I guess so.

"Er, well... hah..."

"You're amazing after all. I can't believe you got Eleanor's power."

"... Eleanor?

"Yeah."

"... ahh"

I remember what Kaori said.

Eleanor, the mother of Hikari Onee-sama.

Well, does this new power mean Eleanor's power?

... hmm?

What did Shaw just say?

The Three Great Swords... the Magic Sword Eleanor...

"... eh?

"It's amazing to hear that only two people in history have been able to control Eleanor's power. Hey, how'd you do that? Can you tell me?"

"... eh?

Unexpectedly, I was going to become a pussy.
