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

 
Chapter  147: Sofia's Thoughts

{TL: By Creed}


I didn’t have any friends.

My body wasn’t very strong...
If I pushed myself even a little, I would often end up bedridden.

Because of that, I wasn’t good at sports.
I also avoided moving around too much.

That’s why I didn’t have any friends.
For a child, just sitting still at home is boring...
And since I couldn’t play with others, I figured that’s just how it was.

So, I was alone.
I always played by myself.

I would read books inside the house...
Play with my dolls...
I was always by myself, but I accepted that’s just the way things were.
I thought being alone was normal.

...Until that day.

"~♪"

That day, I was out for a walk.

Even though my body wasn’t strong, it wasn’t so weak that I couldn’t go for walks.
On days with good weather, when I was feeling well,
taking a leisurely walk was part of my daily routine.

"Whoa!?"

Then, a boy suddenly appeared in front of me.

Correction.
I exaggerated a bit.

The boy was about to trip...
I reached out my hand and helped him.

That was Fate.
It was the moment I met my prince.

The children in town didn’t want to play with me because they found it boring.
They would say that and refuse to play with me.

But Fate had just moved to the area, so he played with me.
Rather than feeling happy...
I had a lot of fun.

I had gotten used to playing alone,
but I realized that deep down, I really wanted to play with someone else.
Being with Fate helped me realize that.

Then, one day...

"I'm happy just being with you, Sofia."

They were words that seemed insignificant.
Words that seemed like nothing special.

But to me, they were shocking.

Everyone else said it was boring to be with me.
Even the kids who started off smiling would soon make a sour face...
and stop coming around.

But...

Fate wasn’t like that.
He stayed by my side.
He told me he was having fun.

I can’t express how happy those words made me...

Just a single sentence.
Such a simple thing to say.

But I was saved by those words.

It felt like he was telling me that it was okay for me to be here,
that it was okay because we were together.

If there really is such a thing as a fateful encounter, then I think this was it.
Fate is my destined partner.
My prince.

Is that an exaggeration?
No, I don’t think so.

The warmth I felt in my heart at that moment...
the comfort...
the peace...

It was real.
It was a precious treasure to me.

From that day forward, Fate became special to me.
He became the most important person in my life.

I wanted to be with him forever...
And I started making efforts for that...

Yes.

Meeting Fate...
Those words he said that day...
I think they were the turning point of my life.

"From now on, let's always be together..."

TL Note: Where it started for Sofia.

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...
