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


Chapter 95: Warm and Cozy


{TL: By Creed}


I am a beastman from a certain village.

A species with dog ears and a tail.

Different from ordinary humans.

Perhaps because of that, we lived in a village deep in the mountains, far from the town.

It was quite inconvenient.

We had to make fire by ourselves.

We had to fetch water from the river every day.

Every day was tough.

But, I never thought it was unfortunate.

I had a strong father.

I had a kind mother.

Not just them, I had a grandfather, a grandmother, and comrades...

Everyone was there.

So, I could spend every day with a smile.

Everything was fulfilled.

But... one day, everything ended.

Humans attacked.

What happened to the village... I don't know.

My father and mother helped me escape.

They told me never to get caught.

I cried as I ran.

I ran, and ran, and ran...

But, I was caught.

The human who captured me...

No, was that really a human?

Certainly, they looked human.

But, their insides were like something else...

I thought they were very scary.

Captured by that human, I fell into slavery.

It was painful.

Sad.

Lonely.

Hard.

...Such were my days.

My heart became empty.

It was painful to look at the world.

So, I thought it would be better to see nothing at all.

I tried not to think about anything...

But one day, Fate and Sofia saved me.

They were like my father and mother.

Strong and kind.

Fate was like the sun.

Not only strong, but he also shone light on my heart and guided me.

Sofia was like the moon.

Gently and quietly, she watched over everyone.

That’s the impression they gave me...

And they looked like my father and mother.

Fate and Sofia were not my father and mother.

They were completely different people.

It would be rude to see them the same way.

They might feel unpleasant with my selfish thoughts.

So, I thought I shouldn't stay with them...

But that wasn’t the case.

Fate and Sofia said they wanted to be with me.

I can still clearly remember their smiles.

Warm and sunny.

Like a warm sun.

I couldn’t help but rely on their kindness...

I asked them to become my new father and mother...

I am happy.

I thought I had lost everything, but that wasn’t the case...

I gained something new and important.

My heart is warm and sunny.

Feeling the scent of my new father and mother, I smile brightly.

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

Chapter 1: The reality that I longed for is harsh and painful {TL: By Creed} "Hey, don't stroll around leisurely, you Useless man!" Insults were flying, and the target was me. "I-I'm... sorry..." My reply came out in gasps, as it should. After all, I was carrying a load that was tens of kilos heavier than my own body. In such a state, I had been walking through the dungeon for hours without a break. It was non-stop. It was only natural that I was out of breath, my clothes drenched in sweat, as if I had been doused in water. I wondered if I was experiencing dehydration; my legs were wobbly, and I felt like I might collapse if I let my guard down. "Hurry up, you slacker! You're practically useless except for carrying stuff," Sigurd, the leader of the A-rank party 'Flarebird,' berated me. He held the title of 'Swordmaster' and was the party's main attacker, constantly in action. "Sigurd, you're such a brute. Fate is so...

  Chapter 4 Party formation {TL: By Creed} After that, we changed locations and moved to a different inn and restaurant. Since Sigurd and the others stayed behind, I'm not sure what happened to them, but... It seems like Sigurd took an incredibly powerful blow, so he probably won't wake up for a while. "Sister, I'll have orange juice and a parfait." "..." "What about Fate?" "..." "Fate, what's wrong?" "Huh!?" When asked the question, I snapped back to reality. "Oh, um, yeah. Sorry... um, I'll have coffee, please." "Okay. Orange juice and coffee. And a parfait, right? Please wait a moment." The waitress nodded and left. Alone again, I looked at Sofia once more. "It's been a while, Fate." "...Is it really you, Sofia?" "Yes, it's me. Or does Fate see someone else when Fate looks at me?" "No, it's not like that. I would never mistake my precious...

  Chapter 3 Escape from the current situation and reunion {TL By: Creed} "What's going on, you incompetent fool!!!" "Guah!?" Sigurd's angry voice was hurled at me, and then I was struck again. I was thrown to the floor. This place was an inn and dining hall, so there were other customers present. However, Sigurd had a notorious reputation as a rough adventurer, and nobody wanted to get involved. Naturally, they pretended not to notice me. However... Being a slave, even if someone with good intentions were to stand up for me, they couldn't help me. How slaves were treated was entirely up to their master. There were no human rights. "You dropped the loot we worked so hard to get, didn't you? Hey, hey, hey! What the hell are you doing? How much do you think today's earnings have decreased because of you?" "I'm sorry... Ugh!?" I was kicked hard in the abdomen. It was a powerful blow that lifted me off the ground. It hurt. I cu...
