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

  Chapter 341: Erin's Circumstances {TL: By Creed} 「……」 Sofia and Erin slowly made their way toward the communal cemetery. Partway there, Sofia suddenly shuddered. Erin tilted her head curiously. "What's wrong?" "No, it's just..." Sofia looked back over her shoulder. Beyond her gaze lay the town. Aisha, Snow, and Licorice. And Fate should be waiting there as well. They should be waiting for her, and yet... For some reason, she felt a fear that she would never see them again. "...It's nothing." It's just my imagination. She was probably thinking such things because they were approaching enemy territory and she was tense. Having reached that conclusion, Sofia continued onward. "We're almost at the hideout." Lena, walking at the front, spoke casually. Even though they could run into enemies at any moment, she seemed completely unconcerned. Perhaps she believed that if they encountered an enemy, she could si...

  Chapter 340: An Unreachable Realm {TL: By Creed} "......" I steadied my stance and raised my sword once more. Xenoas also readied his greatsword, measuring the distance between us. Paying the utmost attention to his every movement, I hurriedly pieced together a strategy in my mind. The strength to wield a greatsword with ease. Unbelievable speed that didn't match his massive frame. The judgment to adapt to any situation on the fly. Every one of his abilities was exceptional. I couldn't find any obvious weakness. He was a perfect swordsman. I now understood all too well why Rena had regarded him as such a threat. What should I do? ...Xenoas looked as though he had armored himself in muscle. That immense strength was probably what allowed him to control that greatsword so freely. Still, even he shouldn't be able to wield a greatsword as large as himself with only one hand. It probably wouldn't take him out of the fight, but his combat ability sho...

  Chapter 339: The Warrior's Battle {TL: By Creed} “Take this!” In that instant, Licorice cast a spell. The room was swallowed by a flash of light... When my vision returned, Aisha, Snow, and Licorice were gone. The window was open, and the shutters creaked as they swayed. Thank goodness. It looked like they managed to escape safely. However... “...” Xenoas stood completely still with his greatsword at the ready. “Is that the end of it?” “...Could it be that you let the three of them escape?” “I had no intention of letting them go. However, I cannot ignore a warrior.” “I wonder if I should be thanking you?” Even though we hadn’t crossed swords yet, I could already tell he was an overwhelmingly powerful opponent. And yet, someone like him had acknowledged me as a warrior. Honestly, that made me happy. Well... That feeling of joy would probably disappear very soon. “...” “...” No more words were needed. As if saying that, we raised our swords and glared at each ...

  Chapter 338: The Blue-Haired Attacker {TL: By Creed} The man was so tall that you had to look up at him. He might have been over two meters in height. He was heavily muscular, his body trained to the absolute limit. And yet, that tightly honed physique spoke of a veteran warrior who had survived countless battles. The greatsword strapped to his back. It was as enormous as the man himself, so massive that my own sword looked like a child’s toy in comparison. More than anything else, what stood out was his blue hair. Blue like the sky, clear like water. It was so beautiful that one could find themselves mesmerized by it. "You are...?" Shielding Aisha and the others behind me, I drew my sword. "So you are Fate Steart." The man’s voice was as cold as ice. And yet, there was neither hostility nor killing intent within it. It was as if he felt nothing toward us at all... As though he did not hold even the slightest interest in us. "And those over th...

  Chapter 337: This time, I'm staying home alone. {TL: By Creed} "Dad, Dad." "What is it?" "Um, well... I want you to read me a picture book." "Yeah, sure. Come over here." "Ehehe♪" Aisha happily wagged her tail as she sat on my lap. I took the picture book from her and began reading aloud. "Once upon a time, in a certain place, there lived a wolf." "Exciting~" ...We had to find the hideout of the Dawn Alliance. The most suspicious place was the communal graveyard. Erin and I were supposed to investigate it together, but in the end, Sofia and Lena were assigned to handle it instead. As for me, I stayed behind at the inn with Aisha and Snow. Aisha and Snow were being targeted. Under these circumstances, I couldn't leave the two of them alone. And so, I ended up staying behind. "Hey, hey." Licorice fluttered down onto my head. She was munching away on a cookie. I really wished she...

  Chapter 336 Executive {TL: By Creed} "Then, let me tell you about the executives, okay?" Lena puffed her chest out a little proudly. She was probably enjoying the chance to play teacher. "There are two executives besides me. One is an old man named Riken. I don't know how long he's been with the Dawn Alliance, but he's probably the oldest member. Even though he's an old man, don't underestimate him. His swordsmanship is pretty impressive — maybe just a little below mine?" "Then he is nothing remarkable." "...Want me to prove right now whether he's remarkable or not?" "Fufu, I don't mind." "Stop, stop!" Sofia and Lena suddenly started throwing sparks at each other, so I hurriedly stopped them. Were they on bad terms? Or was it just a compatibility issue? "Geez, don't interrupt the explanation." Puffing out her cheeks, Lena continued. "Riken is fairly strong, but more...

  Chapter 335: There are many things to consider. {TL: By Creed} I spread out a map of the royal capital on the table in the room. Sofia and I. Lena and Erin leaned over it as well. Meanwhile, Aisha and Snow were downstairs in the dining hall eating sweets. I was a little worried about Licorice being the one supervising them, but… I promised her donuts if she behaved properly, so it would probably be fine. “Alright then, could you tell us everything you know, Lena?” “Mm, okay.” Lena casually nodded, picked up a pen, and began marking the map. “Here, here, and here. Also here and here… um… ah, right. This warehouse is being used as a hideout too.” We were having her mark the hideouts and safe houses of the Dawn Alliance on the map, but… The number of marks kept increasing. There were far more than we had imagined, and before long, the map was practically covered in markings. “Mmm… I think that’s about all I know?” “This is… how should I put it…” “There are an ove...
