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

  Chapter 154: The women's battle has already begun {TL: By Creed} Since they had something very important to do, Sofia and her group decided to part ways with Fate for a while. “Make sure you absolutely don’t follow us, okay?” they emphasized as they left. With determination, the women headed toward a certain store. “Welcome!” They were greeted with a warm smile from a female store clerk. In the back of the shop lay the very items Sofia and her group were seeking. Their target? Swimsuits. If you’re going to play at the beach, swimsuits are a must. However, they hadn’t given it much thought beforehand and were unprepared. When bathing in rivers, they typically wore no clothes at all. On the other hand, when catching fish, they kept their clothes on. Under normal circumstances, that arrangement worked just fine. But playing at the beach was a completely different story. There was no way they could just dive into the sea in their regular clothes. Buying cute swimsuits was absolutely

  Chapter 153: Beastman Researcher {TL: By Creed} For now, let’s not worry about the lodging situation… After leaving our luggage in the room, we headed back out into the city. According to Edward and Emilia, the beastman researcher lives on the outskirts of Blue Island. Apparently, he moved away from the bustling city center to focus on his studies. On a hill with a sweeping view of the city, we found the researcher’s house. "Excuse me!" I knocked on the door and called out. … But there was no response. "Excuse meee!"  I knocked again, this time raising my voice a little. Still, there was no answer. I tried turning the doorknob just to check, but it clicked, locked. "Is he out?"  "Hmm… I don’t feel any sign of anyone here."  "You can tell that just by feeling?"  She could tell if someone was home or not just by sensing their presence? Sometimes Sofia’s abilities are unreal. … Or maybe it’s not just sometimes, but always? "So, what

  Chapter 152 Blue Island [TL; By Creed} Blue Island, the Seaside Town The town, swept by sea breezes, was wide, with water flowing here and there. Just looking around made me feel refreshed and at ease. As we moved deeper into the town, we saw a large port and a beach for swimming. In the port, ships of all sizes were docked, with cargo being unloaded from distant places and fresh fish being transported. As expected of a town known for the sea, trade and fishing seemed to be thriving. A short distance from the port was the swimming area—a white sandy beach and clear, sparkling sea. Many people in swimsuits were playing there, making me want to join in. "Wowwww!" Aisha’s eyes sparkled with excitement. This was probably her first time seeing the sea. “Dad, Mom! Look at all the water!” “Hehe, yes, that’s the sea.” “The sea... Wow!” Her tail was wagging so hard it looked like it might burst with excitement. I hadn’t expected her to be this thrilled. We had come here to research

Chapter 151: Journey to the South {TL: By Creed} Clack, clack The sound of the carriage wheels echoed. When I looked up through the window, I saw a pleasant blue sky. No sign of rain—another clear day. But it wasn’t too hot; the temperature was just right. “Yep, today’s going to be another great journey,” I said. “But it’s boring,” came the reply. Licorice floated down, gently landing on my head and munching on a cookie. I wish she wouldn’t eat up there; crumbs are falling on me... “Since we left on this journey, nothing has happened. Isn’t there anything thrilling? Like rescuing a young lady from bandits and having a romantic adventure, or discovering a mysterious map and going on a grand treasure hunt. There should be something exciting,” she complained. “I think it’s fine as long as there aren’t any problems.” “Tsk, tsk, tsk. You just don’t get it, Fate. Life is better with a bit of trouble. It adds spice and color. A life with ups and downs is more exciting than a dull, peaceful on

  Chapter 150: Don't go {TL: By Creed} A Week Passed... Today, we decided to leave Leafland. With large backpacks stuffed with belongings, Sofia and I took on the load. Aisha, wanting to help, carried a small backpack of her own. Licorice rode atop Aisha’s head. “We're so grateful for everything you’ve done.” I bowed my head to Edward and Emilia, who had come to see us off. We had relied on them for so long, and I was truly grateful. “Hehe, it's all right. After all, Stuart-kun, you’re our future son,” Emilia said with a smile. “Well, um…” While I appreciated her sentiment, I couldn’t help but wonder if Edward was really okay with this. When I glanced over at him, he looked slightly displeased, but he wasn’t objecting as loudly as he used to. Maybe he’d accepted me... at least a little? If that’s the case, I’m happy. But I’ll have to work even harder to earn his full approval. “Father, Mother, we’re setting out again, so please stay well.” “Sofia, take good care of yourself

  Chapter 149: From now on {TL: By Creed} "Thank you for keeping the promise we made back then." As the conversation about the past ends, Sofia smiles warmly. Her smile is so beautiful... no matter how many times I see it, it still makes my heart race, and I find myself looking away, a bit embarrassed. "There's no need to thank me. It was something I wanted to do... though I must admit, things got a bit risky." If Sofia hadn’t saved me when I was tricked and enslaved, I would probably still be living as a slave. So, I didn’t really do anything. I somehow managed to keep our promise, but... it was all thanks to Sofia. "No, that’s not true." Sofia easily dismisses my thoughts. "Even if you were enslaved, you never gave up, did you, Fate? You kept thinking of me the whole time, didn’t you?" "Yeah, I did." "I think not giving up was the most important thing. If you had given up along the way, I probably never would have met you, an

  Chapter 148: Ambition {TL: By Creed} As usual, I played with Sofia. Playing in the snow, eating together, and then playing in the snow again. Since meeting her, I’ve been playing in the snow almost every day, and I never get tired of it. Every day, I see a different side of Sofia… and, if anything, it just keeps getting more fun. Then, one day… “Fate, do you have a dream for the future?” Out of nowhere, she asked me that. “Yeah, I do.” “Wow, you answered right away!” Sofia's eyes sparkled. It was as if she was saying, “What kind of dream is it? Would you tell me?” “I want to be an adventurer.” “An adventurer…?” I want to take on various requests, lend my strength to many people. Defeat strong foes and be called a hero. Explore unknown places and find treasure. That’s the kind of adventurer I want to be. “Why do you want to be that?” “The reason isn’t anything big. The other day, my mom and dad read me a storybook about an adventurer… and it was so thrilling!” I can still remember
