Episode 9: Vengeance Skeleton * 4

When we returned to Julia and Krah, Krah was waiting there with a lot of balloons.

"Oh, Corn-san. What should we do with this?"

Oh, this balloon was supposed to be on the bat...

"Where's the bat?

"That's it, it's gone. It's like a black fog, snap, snap."

Ah, this way, too. I see...

In the meantime, collect all the balloons that Mr. Crowe has captured and have Laocles hold them appropriately, and listen to Mr. Crowe and Mr. Julia.

"Have you been okay since I got here like a bat?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not dull enough to get this far behind me. No matter how much of a forest I've become,... because all of a sudden, this fluffy thing stuck to the bat, and all the bats couldn't move. Who the hell did this to you?

Mr Crowe winked at me and said so. Hmm, dependable.

"But... well, I guess you guys came here to ask me that, so I'm going to ask you that, too..."

But Crowe clouded his expression and turned to Julia.

"Hey, Julia. In my eyes, the monsters, like the bats, looked like they were after you. Then there was the carriage raid the other day. All the killers ran away, didn't they?... doesn't that mean you've disappeared like a bat this time?

When Claire glanced at Fai, Fai nodded silently.

... Julia, who was looking at it, has a hesitant, confused look on her face.

"If you have any problems, please let me know. I think we can help.... I'm sure the Spirit wants that."

And when Claire said so... Julia opened her mouth as if she had decided.

"... I came to this forest town with the help of the Spirit."

My power. I see... um...

When we were in trouble, Julia took the cloth wrap out of her pocket.

"I have to protect this."

The size of Julia's palm is wrapped in superb silk. When Julia's thin fingers gently rolled up a glossy silk cloth... a strange thing came out of it.

"Is this the part of the sword... with the pattern? It's weird. It's beautiful."

Fay peeks into his suspicious face. That's how I look.

The only thing on Julia's hand is the pattern of the sword.

It's beautifully decorated, and it's an eye-catching piece of art... well, it's no different from being a mystery.

"What is this?"

When Laocles reached out a little, Julia pulled it in quickly.

"No, you can't. This is the sword of the brave. Putting people in the wrong hands creates danger."

... Yu, the sword of the brave?

"This is the sword of the brave. The hero allegedly fought the demon king with this. The Holy Power deserves to destroy the Devil... the strongest sword of light in the world."

That's what Julia tells me... but it doesn't look like a sword. No matter how you look at this, it only looks like a pattern.

"... um, this is just a pattern now... but once you pass the magic, a blade of light is born, and everything can be cut down without any resistance. The power is what the user wants and wishes for....."

Seeing us looking strange, Julia explained it even more. Uh, I don't know if it explains it.

"Wow, that's unusual. Would you mind showing me that light blade for a second?

Fei, who seemed to know better than I did, reached out to Julia on top of her hand, but Julia held it in her chest again and hid it.

"No! In the first place, this is a sword that requires so much magic that it can only be handled by the chosen brave! If you touch it badly, you will soon lose your magic!

I see. It's a full-automatic nap machine. Then stop touching it.... I was curious about the blade of light, but I couldn't help it.

"... as long as you're listening, it sounds like quite the right substitute."

So Laocles arms up and says with a sinister face.

"It's like it's in a royal treasure trove or in the basement of a great temple. If you're telling the truth."

Julia looks scared with a slightly harsh voice and expression.

"You said you had to protect the Sword of the Brave. Who the hell do you think you have to protect from?

Half a step ahead, Laocles. A chunk of intimidation. A plaster statue of steel.... in front of Laocles, Julia told me to swim her eyes with a frightened face... close her eyes and squeeze them out.

"Yes, I have to protect it. With the monsters who are after this... above all... from my father, King Aur Frisa Phenos."

While we were poking, Julia looked beautiful with a firm face.

"I'm late. My name is Julia Lal and I'm Large Lila Phenos.... the Third Princess of this country."

For a while, we were in a good mood.

The king was aiming for the sword of the brave, the monster, and Julia was Large and the princess....

... no, I can't catch up.

"To..."

Among them, Faye was the last to catch up. I didn't catch up with him as much as I did. Uh... ah, yeah, I see. It's impossible...

"Ladies and gentlemen, Large,"

"Yes, I'm Large Lila Phenos. Dear Faye Brad Red Gard... I've never actually seen you like this."

Julia-san... no, uh, Princess Large? He says that to Faye with a bit of a bitter smile.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Princess Third Princess Large certainly thinks... that Faye was the one who refused to get engaged.

... ahh.

"... uh, ah, that's right, Lady Large. Well, it's not me, um, I, with all due respect, declined my engagement this time, as soon as I..."

Fei began to explain something as he became a little confused.

Yeah, well, yeah. The royal man is a great man, and I kicked his offer of engagement, so I think it's awkward. Wow.

... but it's not like Fay.

"Fay"

That's why, while I'm arrogant, I'll let you fake it next door. [M] As Faye's best friend.

"Let me say 'It's not like you'..."

Faye stared at me with a soft look. [M] I was still watching Fay.

... then Fay broke his expression, sighed and scratched his head... and confronted Princess Large.

"Sorry, I didn't feel like getting engaged to the Red Dragon! I know it's a sweet idea. But I just... didn't like the intention that seemed so clear behind you."

Fei suddenly started saying that, so Princess Large looks a little surprised.

"It's not like you personally like it or dislike it. I want you to understand that. But I kicked your offer. I can't tell you to forgive me....."

"Dear Fay....."

Princess Large sighed. You seem kind of relieved.

"... so... In the meantime, I'll let you take everything out of there. I am the second son of a Redgard lord, including this town. I am not the one to succeed this territory in the future, but as the Red Gard's blood is flowing, I have a duty to respond with all my might to the calls for help in the territory. So....."

Faye held Princess Large's hand. Now Princess Large was surprised, but Faye was serious.

"If you ask for help, I'll do everything I can to help you! It's a mess, but awkward! But that would be the same for you, and there's nothing left for you at this time! What do you say!?

... yeah.

I think it should look like a fake.

... after Faye said that, she put two breaths away, and Princess Large... started giggling.

"... strange person"

"Ah... isn't that strange?"

Fai looked out of her mind when she realized that Princess Large wasn't angry for now. I'm scratching my head a little bit badly, but I'm glad to see that it finally feels like a fake.

"Yes, he's very strange.... don't worry about your engagement. It was about my father's engagement, so personally, I don't have any grudges against you."

That's what Princess Large said, laughing sorry.... I see. Does it matter if you're engaged or not? Hmm... well, that's the kind of world I have to think about.

"Besides, I have abandoned my position as a princess and am now here as an individual, courageously asking. If you talk about forgiving or not forgiving, it's not that I 'forgive' or not forgiving, but that you 'forgive' or not forgiving me."

That's what Princess Large said and tied her lips. Then I continued with a sinking voice.

"This monster attack... was shallow. I was thinking that the sword of the brave should be hidden from you in order to keep you out of trouble... but as a result, I put everyone in this town in danger."

... if the monster came after Princess Large's sword pattern, the "Sword of the Brave", then perhaps it was because of her that this town was in danger.

Of course, I don't think so, and neither does Faye. Everyone else should be.

"On top of that, please forgive me for being so generous.... please try again.... will you protect the sword of this brave man from the monsters and the king?"

"Uh, excuse me."

We were in trouble. Then, after seeing what Fay offered me, we gathered together a little and talked in private.

"What are we gonna do with this?"

"... if you're only thinking about the town, you should kick them out."

Laocles is relentless. Yeah. Steel Laocles...

"I see. Leaving that behind could cause damage to this forest.... but if you leave that alone, it could damage this world. I want to hear more about it."

Yeah... I don't know why the monster is targeting the sword of the brave. But what do you mean the King is after him? You don't understand the situation, do you?

"So... if you're going to hide Princess Large, how will it work...? I can't afford to do this without thinking about it."

... yeah.

Then we came to a unanimous conclusion.

... so I'm going to speak to Princess Large as my representative.

"Um..."

"Yes"

Princess Large looked nervous and waited for my words...

"Um... can I talk to the spirit-sama for a minute?

As soon as I said that, I felt a pounding sensation.

Yeah, um, I'm sorry. It's a bit tangy...
