  Chapter 207: North {TL: By Creed} Snowlake is a town far to the north. From Blue Island, it’s a long journey of about a month by carriage. We made sure to prepare properly... Said our goodbyes to Lyra... And then, we boarded the carriage bound for Snowlake and left Blue Island behind. ―――――――――― The wheels clattered as they turned, and the scenery slowly flowed past us. "Ohhh!" Aisha watched with excitement, her tail swishing back and forth. She had ridden in carriages many times before, but she still seemed to enjoy watching the passing scenery. Yeah, I get it. I was the same way when I was a kid. Seeing the world from a different perspective, at a different speed, felt fresh and exciting. "...Mmm." Sofia, who had been napping with her sword in her arms, suddenly opened her eyes. "What's wrong?" "Monsters." "Then I'll—" "Fate, please take care of Aisha. Besides, it's my turn now. I'll be back soon...

  Chapter 206: Cold Weather Gear {TL: By Creed} "Maybe my father can repair the Snow Crystal Sword." Betting on that possibility... The next destination was decided: my hometown, Snowlake. For that, the first thing to do was to prepare for the journey. Food and water. Arranging for a carriage. And, most importantly... clothes. I stopped by a clothing store to look for cold-weather gear. Snowlake is a place where snow covers the land for more than half of the year, so if I'm not properly prepared, I'll catch a cold... No, I might even freeze to death. "Fate, how about something like this?" With a somewhat excited look, Sofia held up a thick coat and showed it to me. It had fluffy fur attached and looked very warm. The length was also long, covering up to the knees. "Yeah, I think this would be perfect for cold protection." "...That's not the kind of meaning I was asking about, though." "Huh?" If that's no...

  Chapter 205: An unexpected name {TL: By Creed} "Hey, hey, what are we doing for lunch today? I really want pancakes with lots of honey. Of course, the kind with a generous serving of fruit and cream." The next day. We went out into town, but Licorice was acting as usual. She seemed to be thinking about lunch, flying around with sparkling eyes. Is she really feeling down? I couldn’t help but wonder. But... This is probably just a front. We've been together long enough for me to tell. I have to do my best to help her cheer up for real. "We’ll talk about lunch later. First, let’s head to the weapon shop." "Oh, are you getting a new sword, Fate?" "No. I want to see if they can repair it." "Hmm... I don’t think that’s gonna be possible, though." And Licorice was right. "Sorry, but this is beyond my skill." We went to the weapon shop and asked if they could repair the Snow Crystal Sword, but... That was the an...

  Chapter 204 I'm sorry {TL: By Creed} "I'm sorry." In the inn room, I bowed my head to Licorice. In front of me lay the broken Snow Crystal Sword. This wasn't just any sword. It was a sword left behind by Licorice's friend. That made it incredibly important. And yet, despite being entrusted with it, I had broken it like this... I felt so guilty toward Licorice and her friend that all I could do was bow my head. "Ah... so it broke, huh." Licorice's tone was surprisingly flat. "Oi, oi, oi, big brother, how are you gonna make up for this?" Suddenly, her tone and way of speaking changed. Surprised, I lifted my head, only to see Licorice glaring at me. "This here’s a legendary sword worth thousands of gold coins, y’know? And you went and snapped it? Huh? How do you plan to compensate me, huh? Oi, oi?" "I-I’m sorry...?" "‘Sorry’ ain’t gonna cut it! If an apology was enough, we wouldn’t need knights, ya...

  Chapter 203: What is Snow's true identity? {TL: By Creed} Since Lena had withdrawn, the turmoil on Blue Island quickly subsided. Snow returned to normal... The rioters decreased in number, and almost all were apprehended. Thus, the incident was resolved, but the damage was severe. Many people were hurt, many buildings were destroyed. The death toll was not small, either. Why did Lena cause such a tragedy? She talked about making a new magic sword by driving Snow into a frenzy… But sacrificing a whole town for that? That's absolutely unacceptable. Next time we meet… "I have to find out what she's really planning." I can't just leave Lena alone. I can't ignore the Dawn Alliance. Someday… With that resolve in mind, I made my decision. ―――――――――― That aside. Now that the city's recovery had settled down, a new issue arose regarding Snow. Many people had witnessed Snow going berserk. Won Shouldn't she be dealt with ? What exactly is that...

Chapter 202: That's a lie {TL: By Creed} "No way..." A sudden voice from a third party. Turning around in a hurry, I saw Lena standing there. Her usual smile was nowhere to be seen. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was utterly shocked. "She should have completely fallen... I've never heard of anyone returning from that state... I was supposed to obtain the fallen divine beast, and with it, I could have created a new cursed sword..." "Lena!" The first to act was Sofia. She immediately switched targets and slashed at Lena with her holy sword. "Tch!" Almost by reflex alone, Lena managed to block Sofia's attack. However, the mental shock seemed to have taken a toll on her—her movements lacked sharpness. She was struggling just to defend against Sofia's relentless strikes, her face twisted in frustration. "I'm surprised you even dared to show yourself! I'll cut you down right here and now!!!" "Ugh...

  Chapter 201: Shall we go home? {TL: By Creed} When I turned around, there was Aisha with Licorice perched on her head. Why is she here!? Panicking, I looked at Licorice, who met my gaze and made a "sorry, sorry" gesture. I was about to complain... But then, Licorice gently patted Aisha’s head. "Trust this girl." With those words, I couldn't say anything else. Just like how we were worried about Snow, Aisha was concerned too. She wanted to do something about it. I had forgotten something so obvious. "..." I wanted to run over immediately and take her somewhere safe. But that wasn't necessarily the right choice. What I needed to do was watch over Aisha. "Snow." Aisha took a step forward, moving closer to Snow. Licorice trembled slightly on her head, seeming frightened… Well, I decided to pretend I didn't see that. "Grr...!" "It's okay." Snow growled in warning, but Aisha didn't run away....
