The youngest knight in the kingdom - whose name, the knower, knows, remains within range.

Of course, if you are a member of the Black Wolf Knights, some human will know.

Still, if we didn't get a chance to work together, we wouldn't have a chance to talk inside, and there were a lot of tasks that I - Alta Schweitz - would do alone.

Is it true that more and more members of the other Knights have been working together lately?

I also have a shop that I often visit.

"Wow... that'll take a lot"

"Well, when you're good, you can't help it."

I looked at the slip I was shown and looked at it unexpectedly.

The place where I am now was... Jitsu.

A short distance from the school, it is run by a blacksmith named Barnes.

He also undertook the processing of difficult items, which were treasured in this compartment to get a look at the state of the sword.

But this time... it's not as easy as it sounds.

Not long ago - I fought Riggles Harvey in The Swordsmen, and my favorite "Bika Sword" was broken.

Not only did it lack a blade, it also broke itself.

I also understood that it was not easy to cure...

"Helen Diet needs a lot of heat to process. Besides, when it breaks... I'm going to need new materials. Sweet quotes will cost you that much."

"Well, you're right"

Blacksmith - I'm convinced of Barnes' words, too.

The ore named Helendite, which is used in the material of the Bika Sword, is quite rare.

When the material itself becomes scarce, the price will be considerably higher just to fix it.

But how can you not fix a broken sword?

Besides, I had words that made me feel stronger.

"I have no choice. It falls on expenses, so stay put about requests for repairs."

Yes - this damage occurred during the mission.

Then you can also apply for my broken sword as a necessary expense for the Knights.

You can safely repair swords that can cost you extra money.

Rarely can a sword be broken, but sometimes like this one.

If I had paid at real cost every time it was broken, it wouldn't be strange for me to live in debt instead of making it easier.

... If that's what you mean, if it didn't fall out of expense - I might have used all the 'broken swords' in a bad way by now.

"I will keep my sword for a while, but do you have a replacement sword?

"No, it's fine. Appropriately, I think I'll look after it with the Knights."

"Yes. Still, you did a pretty fancy thing breaking this sword, didn't you?

"Haha, it's not as flashy. But I didn't think I'd break it either."

"Broken...?

Unexpectedly, I try to block my words, and such a girl's voice reaches my ear.

That was a familiar voice to me.

- What can be felt from near the entrance to Jiji Field is an emotion similar to that of the intention to kill.

Even though I know there are signs of people, I can't fully grasp who that is.

... Not to mention I didn't expect her to be here.

"... Chloe?

I call the name of the red-eyed girl with long, beautiful blonde hair tied around her left and right.

She usually had a cute look on her face, wrinkling between her brows to reveal her anger.

When things get troublesome, I intuit.

I don't know why she's here. Shortly after I asked her that question,

"Hey, you... maybe you broke the Bikaka Sword?

As I confirm, the girl asks.

Chloe Schweitz - My sister-in-law, she asks again in the same way.

I sighed a little. If it's already inevitable, let's answer without falsehood.

"Yeah, it broke"

"... Oh, you broke it! You stupid brother-in-law!

The next moment, he cursed me the way I thought he would.
