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

  Chapter 273: I can't get angry {TL: By Creed} Aisha and Snow had disappeared. According to what I was told, the two of them had been waiting in an empty house, but… in the brief moment no one was watching, they vanished. Did they move on their own? Or were they kidnapped by someone? Could it be the latter? I don’t want to consider that possibility, but after what happened with Lena, I can’t help becoming suspicious. Just as I was panicking… “We’ve found the Princess and the Divine Beast!” Good news arrived before long. That was quick—almost too quick. “Where are they?” “Well, the thing is…” The beastman who came to report looked terribly troubled. ―――――――――― “Suu… suu, suu…” “Supi… supi…” At the edge of the village stood a large tree. Beneath its shade, Aisha and Snow were curled up together, napping as if in an embrace. Sunlight filtered gently through the gaps in the leaves. A soft breeze drifted by. Bathed in that comfort, the two of them wore blissful ex...

  Chapter 272: I want to understand {TL: By Creed} The fact that Lena had attacked. And the purpose of the Dawn Alliance. We shared that information with everyone, including Claudia and the elder of the beastkin village. “I see, so they are the ones…” “Those fools…” The elder looked somber. And Claudia had a complicated expression—somewhere between frustration and sorrow. She must have already known the purpose and true nature of the Dawn Alliance, even before I explained. Even so, she hadn’t done anything… probably because she wanted to believe. That they wouldn’t go any further. That someday, mutual understanding would be possible. It was because she had believed that, she had chosen not to act. Some might say that was naïve. But I like that way of thinking better. “I apologize for dragging you into our affairs…” Since Claudia bowed her head, I panicked a little. “No, please, don’t worry about it!” “That’s right.” “But still…” “Because of Aisha and Snow, w...

Chapter 271 Again {TL: By Creed} "I… am…" Lena’s voice trembled slightly. Her words stopped there. But I didn’t rush her. I wanted to leave it to her own will. "I… am…!" "Yeah." "Uu… kuuuh!" Where did she find the strength for that? Lena leapt far back and ran away. "Lena!" "I don’t know what I should do…" "…Lena…" "I’m supposed to have a mission. I’m supposed to take revenge on the world that stole everything from us. But…" Lena looked at me with a face on the verge of tears. "I don’t want to fight Fate." "Then—!" "But I… I…!" Lena lowered her head. A tear fell silently. "…See you." She must have hidden a magic tool. A magic circle unfolded at her feet… And then, she vanished. In the end, what kind of face was Lena making? I couldn’t tell.  ―――――――――― "Oww, ow ow…" We returned to the Beastmen’s village, where I received treatment. E...

  Chapter 270: Because we are the same people {TL: By Creed} When I saw Lena crying, my chest tightened painfully. I thought, I don’t want to see her make that face. Lena and I are the same. The weight of what we carry is completely different, but… we’ve both been oppressed. “Don’t you dare give me cheap sympathy…!!!” Lena glared at me sharply. Her whole body radiated anger. Don’t pity me. Don’t step into my heart. Don’t pretend to be kind. That was the way Lena rejected me. “Fate.” Sofia quietly stepped up beside me. “I can’t quite grasp the situation…” “Huh? You can’t?” I had assumed she’d uncovered something about Lena or the Dawn Alliance and had come to help. “I just had a bad feeling. So I went looking for you, and when I found that thieving cat, I figured I’d cut her down first.” “…‘First,’ you say…” Isn’t that a little too impulsive? Well, maybe. But thanks to that, she saved me, so I can’t really scold her too much. “I’ll explain everything later.” ...

  Chapter 269: VS Lena Part 3 {TL: By Creed} “Take this!!” “Haaahhhh!!!” Sofia and I moved forward at the same time. While holding my sword, I dashed ahead— I came from the right. Sofia came from the left. Crossing paths, we swung our blades simultaneously. “Guh!?” Our timing was perfect, and together we managed to land a heavy blow on Lena. She blocked it, but still, her face twisted in pain. She probably didn’t expect such a heavy strike and her hands must have gone numb. Now’s our chance. “This is it…” I slashed for a follow-up strike. I thought I had her for sure—but she blocked it with an incredible reflex. Even with her hands numb, she’s this strong… Lena really is formidable. But I’m not alone. “This is the end!” Sofia charged forward next. With the momentum of a head-on collision, she thrust her sword. She wasn’t aiming for Lena’s vital point— but for her right hand. “Ah—Guh!?” Sofia’s blade pierced through the back of Lena’s right hand. Lena’s ...

  Chapter 268: VS Lena Part 2 {TL: By Creed} “Uaaaahhhhhh!!!” Lena let out a beast-like roar as she charged forward. Fast! She was like the incarnation of the wind. I couldn’t follow her with my eyes—by the time I realized it, she had already closed the distance. It’s hard for me to handle this. But… “Too naïve!” Sofia stepped forward and blocked Lena’s charge. “Thank you, Sofia.” “You’re welcome.” If it’s something I can’t do, I just have to rely on Sofia honestly. And in return, I’ll show that I can fight as well. That’s all there is to it. “Mountain Breaker!” While Sofia had Lena’s movements restrained, I struck from the side. Lena glanced at me for an instant. Holding her magic sword in her right hand, she drew a dagger with her left once more. Clang! She slammed the dagger toward me, knocking my sword off its trajectory. As expected, she’s used to fighting multiple opponents. It’s like she has twice as many eyes—she has perfect awareness of the battle...

  Chapter 267: VS Lena Part 1 {TL: By Creed} “Don’t show me something so worthless!!!” Lena turned her eyes toward me as if looking at something blinding— Then, she glared sharply, like a blade cutting through the air. Letting out a voice dripping with resentment, she kicked off the ground. The acceleration was so extreme it felt like she had teleported. Before I knew it, Lena was right in front of me. But there’s no need to panic. “Take this!” I caught her cursed sword with my Meteor Blade. The sheer force threatened to overwhelm me, but I held my ground. Digging in with all my strength, I endured. “Stay away from Fate!” “Tch.” Annoyed by Sofia’s counterattack, Lena clicked her tongue. Still, she knew a careless move would get her killed. So she pulled back for a moment— “Eh?” Then, for some reason, Lena threw her cursed sword. A move unthinkable in battle—voluntarily discarding her weapon. Caught off guard, I was a beat too slow to react. Sofia was the sa...
