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 16 Adventurer Fate is born {TL: By Creed} "Fate Stuart-san. Thanks to the recommendations from the Guild Master and Sofia Ascart-san, we are now accepting your adventurer registrations. Congratulations." "Congratulations, Fate. I always believed you would pass." Sofia congratulated me with a smile. The receptionist also joined in the celebration. In my hand, I held an adventurer's license card. With this, I could officially become an adventurer. I could hunt monsters, gather materials, and explore uncharted territories... The thought of going on adventures filled me with excitement. I had never felt this way when I was a slave. My body felt light, like it could fly away. My heart was dancing with joy. By the way, Aizen also congratulated me... But it seemed the Guild Master was busy and quickly went somewhere else. After that, it appeared that Sigurd and the others had disappeared... I wanted to follow those adventures who acted as witnesses, but thing...
