My childhood friend, who I promised to marry in the future, came back as a swordsman

  Chapter 258: It's still interesting {TL: By Creed} "Only two questions are allowed." "They’ll answer most things." With those conditions in mind, I carefully considered what to ask. "…Yeah, I’ve decided." "What do you want to ask me?" "First…" After much thought, I decided to go with a particular question. And that was— "Why do you like me, Lena?" "Huh?" Lena let out a bewildered sound. She was probably thinking, "What kind of question is that?" But to me, it was a very important question. Love at first sight, interest in strength—I’d heard various reasons. But none of them really satisfied me. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a deeper reason behind it. If I could understand her heart more deeply, maybe—just maybe—we could reconcile. That’s why… I wanted to know more about her. This question was for that purpose. "Ahahaha!" Suddenly, Lena burst into laughter. ...

  Chapter 257: Food {TL: By Creed} It seemed it would take a while until the banquet began. We tried to offer our help, but they firmly refused, saying they couldn’t let us do such things. So, in the meantime, we decided to take a walk to kill time. "What a beautiful place." I wandered through the beastkin village alone. Everyone else had something going on and was off doing their own thing. "What’s this plant, I wonder?" The village was surrounded by greenery, and the sounds of animals and birds echoed from all around. It was proof that they lived in harmony with plants and other creatures. It wasn’t just beautiful—it was full of life. I’d like to live in a place like this someday. With Sofia beside me. Aisha smiling. Licorice and Snow there with us. Yeah... Just imagining that kind of future made me grin. "Yoo-hoo!" At that moment, a carefree voice rang out. The owner of that voice was... "Lena…?" "Yup, that’s right! F...

  Chapter 256: I feel like I've seen this somewhere before {TL: By Creed} "Phew…" We somehow managed to drive the monsters away. Individually, they weren’t all that strong… But there were just so many of them—it was tough. It wasn’t simply about defeating the enemy. We had to fight while protecting the village, making sure no harm came to it. Since I haven’t had much experience with defensive battles, it ended up being a bit of a struggle. If possible, I’d like to train for situations like this in the future… But how do you even train for defensive battles? "I’ll try asking Sofia next time." That aside… "Thank you so much! Not only did you save the princess and the sacred beast, but you even protected our village!" "You’re the heroes of this village!" "Alright, everyone! Let’s start preparing for the feast!" Many of the beastkin were smiling at us. It’s a shame the village was attacked… But thanks to us driving the m...

Chapter 255: Threatening the Village {TL: By Creed} "What's going on? You're being noisy. We have guests, you know." "S-Sorry, Elder! But this is an emergency!" The young beastkin looked extremely flustered. He must have run here at full speed—he was out of breath. "A m-monster has appeared!" "What!?" "And there’s a lot of them! Everyone’s trying to hold them off, but there’s not enough time to evacuate!" "Kh... This is terrible..." Have they never been attacked by monsters before? Judging from the elder's grim expression, the situation must be quite serious. If that's the case, then there's only one thing for us to do. "Sofia." "Yes." Sofia felt the same way I did. "Licorice, please stay here with Aisha and Snow." "Yeah, yeah, leave it to me." "Thanks, I'm counting on you." "Fate, let’s go." "Wait, you two, what are you....

Chapter  254: Elders and Gratitude {TL: By Creed} The journey progressed smoothly without any major trouble. And so, they arrived at the Beastkin village a day earlier than planned. Deep, deep within the forest. The Beastkin village was located in the very depths where not even a sliver of sunlight could reach. Up until then, the path had been completely covered above and to the sides by thick vegetation, but suddenly the view opened up. A clearing within the vast forest. There, many buildings made of wood stood in rows. Surrounding the village were a wall and a gate. Watchtowers had been set up in four directions, and Beastkin armed with bows could be seen on them. "So this is…" "Yes, this is our village." A hidden sanctuary deep within the forest. It was the perfect phrase to describe this place. "Who goes there!?" A Beastkin guard at the gate noticed them and drew his sword. The Beastkin in the watchtowers also reacted, aiming their bows ...

Chapter 253: Off to the Beastman Village {TL: By Creed} We finished getting ready and left the house. Sofia, Claudia, and I each carried large backpacks on our backs… while Aisha and Snow carried small backpacks. Each bag was packed with things we’d need for the journey, as well as gifts and supplies to bring to the beastkin village. Originally, we had planned to carry all the luggage ourselves… but Aisha and Snow insisted on helping, so we let them carry a little. Licorice? Well… she didn’t do anything. Yeah. She’s always free-spirited like that. "Well then, we’re off." I said goodbye to Dad, Mom, and Lutecia before departing. "Alright, do your best out there." "Take care of yourself." Dad and Mom sent us off with smiles. "Ah… uuuh?" Lutecia didn’t seem to really understand what was happening, but she reached her small hand out toward me. When I took her hand, my little sister gripped my hand too. "We’re off." ...

  Chapter 252: When I wake up early {TL: By Creed} The next day. At last, the day to head to the beastmen’s village had arrived. Maybe because I was a little nervous, I woke up earlier than usual. By the clock, I probably could’ve gone back to sleep for a bit… "Guess I’ll just get up." If I fell back asleep and overslept, that would be a problem, so even though I was still a little sleepy, I decided to get up. "Ah! Good morning, Daddy!" When I went to the living room, Aisha and Snow were there. Both of them ran up to hug me, tails wagging wildly. "Whoa—oof!" "Ah… Daddy, are you okay?" "Whine…" "Yeah, I’m fine." I ended up falling on my butt, which made the two of them look sad. To show it was nothing, I smiled warmly at them, and then patted their heads. "Good morning, Aisha. Snow." "Good morning, Daddy!" "Woof!" After exchanging morning greetings, I stood up. Then I peeked into...
