With Eina's help, I managed to obtain the Holy Sword, which was deep inside the temple.
When he gripped the holy sword pierced into the pedestal, the mole on the back of the right hand he gripped glowed with heat. I immersed myself in a sensation of heat and pulled the sword from the pedestal almost unconsciously. [M]
Then a woman's voice reaches my ear. [M]
Well done... brave man of our time
The voice came from an unmatched sword.
─ ─ Holy Sword Rayva ─ ─ It was also a sword with the will to speak. The name Rayva was also said by "herself."
Rayva is a weapon of the brave and exists to see if the brave can win.
"Can you think of me as a brave man?
"I assure you, the Holy Sword, that you have been chosen by God."
I see. My name is relix. Thank you very much. "
"Best regards, My Lord (Master) Relics."
─ ─ That's how we got the sword Leva back to King's Landing.
When I returned to King's Landing, the next thing I was waiting for was a massive parade. It is said that I celebrated my recognition as a brave man by the Holy Sword. [M]
Shortly before his arrival in King's Landing, he was switched from a mobile carriage to a luxurious carriage with a ceremonial canopy. Then, change your outfit from armor to formal clothing. Eina's appearance also changed from a functional outfit to a luxurious dress for the ceremony.
A sheath was also provided to hold the Sacred Sword (Leva). Hatred and the temple had a holy sword, but no sheath. Until now, it had been wrapped in a suitable cloth.
"Look, this is not a sheath."
When I switched carriages, an old man with plenty of beard gave me a sheath. He seemed to be a good blacksmith enough to compete for first and second place in King's Landing, but it was certainly beautiful enough to hold the sword.
─ ─ To be honest, the old man's beard looks completely unimaginable from his condition.
"I'll build on the form left in the literature, but I've never seen a sacred sword before. For now, put your sword in there and check it."
As the old man urged me, I put the Holy Sword in the sheath. [M]
Hmm. It's inferior to my producer, but it's still pretty good for a human being.
The holy sword (Rava) in my sheath murmured with a voice that only I could hear. Apparently the comfort of the sheath (?) I don't seem dissatisfied with it.
After a brief meeting, the parade began.
Nevertheless, my role is not so many. [M] You should just ride in a carriage without a canopy and wave your hand smiling at the people in the city. Then you can pull out the sword and show its existence at the center of the city ─ ─ where people gather most.
The front gate of King's Landing opens and the carriage with me enters the city. [M]
What I was waiting for was a loud cheer that would even come with a shock. The paper blizzard scattered, the music was played, and the parade began.
"Wave your hand, brave man."
Aina whispered softly to the people, whispering what I could only hear. As I was told, I managed to make a smile with my expression muscles and waved my hand in a tight motion. Perhaps now I have a big face. [M]
There is no substitute for the idea of royalty using brave men as tools of politics. However, there is no mistake in gaining the backing of powerful people by adding a few fences to facilitate future activities. "
I pounded my head at Rayva's faint words. [M] I haven't known her for a long time, but I've come to realize that she's very serious.
As the parade continued and finally became accustomed to smiling at people, I discovered a face I knew by chance.
Yukina.
He was walking with his hands full of food that he would have bought at the stall. As soon as he turned to us, he lost his sight as if he had lost interest.
There are many others walking the road without looking at the parade. However, it seemed to me that Yukina was not deeply interested in the word "brave".
─ ─ It's really the same.
Even if Yukina wasn't interested in me, I was interested in Yukina. To be precise, the elongated object on his back - a spear - caught my eye.
Even in the village, Yukina preferred to use a spear while all the people around her used a sword. But he is carrying a spear that is completely different from the spear he used in the village. Did I buy it in King's Landing while I was at the temple? [M]
─ ─ Aha......
(Leva?)
"... no, nothing, Master."
I tilted my neck to Rayva, who had never been upset before, but while doing so, Yukina's back disappeared into the crowd.
When the parade is over and things settle down a little, I want you to go out with me.
