  Chapter 232 Repair begins {TL: By Creed} "Alright." In the workshop on the first floor, my father was there. He had changed into his work clothes and wrapped a headband around his head to get into the zone. Behind him stood Licorice and Aisha. Their appearances were the same as always, but their expressions were different. They were facing straight ahead, and I could feel a strong determination from them — the resolve to absolutely repair the sword. "Alright then, let's get to work. I’ll forge the sword, and you, little fairy, pour in your magic when I give the signal." "Leave it to me!" "Aisha, when the little fairy’s magic starts to run low, replenish it for her." "I’ll do my best." The three of them were full of motivation. But it wasn’t like they were overly fired up… They were just the right amount of tense, and just the right amount relaxed. Yeah. At this rate, it’s bound to go well. I was confident that the s...

  Chapter 231 Thank you {TL: By Creed} "Ah-uu?" "Yes, yes~ There, there." "Kyah kyah!" In the Stuart family living room, Sofia was holding the youngest child, Lutecia. She was used to it by now, holding Lutecia securely in her arms. Lutecia seemed comfortable and happy, smiling and reaching her tiny hands toward Sofia. "Oh my, looks like little Lutecia has taken a liking to you, Sofia." "Hehe, if that's true, then I'm happy." The only ones in the living room were Sofia, Amira, and Lutecia. The others were off preparing to repair their swords. Sofia could have helped with that too, but... More than that, she was concerned about Amira, who had to handle the housework while caring for a small child by herself, so she decided to look after Lutecia instead. Amira, having just finished washing the dishes, wiped her hands and sat down beside Sofia. "Thank you. You really saved me, Sofia." "I'm just glad...

  Chapter 230 Post-consent {TL: By Creed} “...So, that’s how it turned out…” We returned to the inn, and I explained the situation to Sofia. “...” “...” Sofia gave me a deadpan stare. Licorice also gave me a deadpan stare. “?” Aisha didn’t seem to understand what was going on and tilted her head slightly in confusion. At her feet, Snow was playfully frolicking. “…Fate.” “Y-Yes!?” Sofia sounded oddly scary. I instinctively straightened my back. Sofia continued to glare at me with that same deadpan look... Then, after a moment, she let out a sigh. “For something that important, I wish you had consulted us instead of deciding on your own... But I suppose it can’t be helped. You’re kind enough to hear something like that and act right away.” “Uh…?” “Well, just make sure you think things through next time.” Thank goodness. It looks like they weren’t angry — just exasperated. …Wait? Is that actually any better? “I understand the situation. If there really is a ...

  Chapter 229: There's no way I can leave it alone {TL: By Creed} It was an unbelievable story. A monster on the same level as a natural disaster being near Snowlake... If the town were attacked, the damage would be catastrophic. In the worst case, it could be completely destroyed. “Wait, huh?” Then, I realized something. “Horn, you encountered the Purgatory Dragon quite a long time ago, right?” “That's right. It must have been decades ago by now.” “Decades ago?” I found that a bit strange. Could such a creature have been around all this time without causing any harm to Snowlake? Sensing my doubt, Horn responded. “It's thanks to Nonoka.” “Nonoka?” “You could say she got one last hit in... In the end, she sealed the Purgatory Dragon. Right now, it’s sleeping deep within a certain dungeon.” “I see...” To be able to seal the Purgatory Dragon—how incredible. Incredible isn't even a strong enough word—it was truly amazing. As expected of Licorice’s friend, ...

  Chapter 228: Horn's Purpose {TL: By Creed} A week has passed since then. I moved my body a lot, took proper breaks, and then moved again. That cycle repeated over and over. Even Aisha, with her high physical abilities, looked very tired at first... But as we continued the training, she seemed to have gotten used to it, and recently, she's been handling it with relative ease. It's probably proof that her body has adapted to the intense exercise. At this rate, we might be able to start repairing the sword in a few more days. With that hope in mind, I pushed through today's training as well. ―――――――――― “Excuse me. I’m Fate — I put in a request the other day…” “Yes, Fate Stuart, right? Your request has been completed. Here are the custom polishing compound and refined water, as well as the hematite.” “Thank you very much.” I paid the fee and received the items I had ordered. They were all materials needed for sword repair. Some of the materials were somewhat diffic...

  Chapter 227: Traditional Costume {TL: By Creed} "Daddy, does it suit me?" Morning. Aisha stepped outside the house and did a quick twirl. The headband wrapped around her head fluttered lightly. She wore a white shirt on top. Below, short black pants that resembled underwear. From there, a fluffy tail stuck out. Apparently, it’s a traditional outfit called "bloomers" from the Eastern country. Supposedly, girls wear this when they exercise. It feels a little too revealing… But, it seems this is the official outfit. The Eastern country sure is strange. "…Fate." "Ah, Sofia, you're… ready… too, huh…" Sofia arrived a bit late, her face completely red. It wasn’t because she had a cold or anything. She was simply embarrassed. …Because she was wearing bloomers too. "……" "……" "Um… could you say something, please?" "Y-you look… good?" "…Fate, you pervert." "Eh!?" What ...

  Chapter 226: Try Your Best {TL: By Creed} “Huh? Aisha? You're still awake?” I thought she had gone to bed since she wasn't in the workshop, but apparently not. “What’s the matter, Aisha-chan? It’s already bedtime... Wait, did we wake you up?” “No, that’s not it.” “Then why...?” “I was curious, so I stood out there and listened.” Aisha pointed toward the door. She must’ve been standing just outside, but none of us noticed. We must’ve been really absorbed in our conversation. “Can I help with something?” “Huh?” “I’ve got lots and lots of magic power, right?” “Oh…” That’s right— We traveled all the way to Snowlake to get the mithril... So much had happened that I’d forgotten, but Aisha does have an extraordinary amount of magical power. I had planned to resume her magic training once things calmed down... But maybe this is a good opportunity? “What’s going on?” Dad, unaware of the situation, asked curiously. “Um...” I explained to him that Aisha possesses i...

  Chapter 225: The Sword that Embodies Feelings {TL: By Creed} “What do you mean by that?” Dad can fix it. That’s why we went and got the mithril. So then… why…!? “Calm down.” “Ouch!?” When I got heated up reflexively, I got a knuckle to the head again. Thanks to that, I did manage to calm down—but my head hurts. Doesn’t Dad get a bit too casual with thumping his own kid on the head? “I’m not saying I can’t do it, don’t jump to conclusions.” “Ow… Then what’s the difficult part?” “It’s that this sword turned out to be more extraordinary than I thought.” According to Dad… If it were just a matter of reattaching the broken blade, it wouldn't take much effort. As long as you had the materials, it’d be simple enough. However, doing only that won’t restore the Snow Crystal Sword’s original power. After doing some research, we found out that the Snow Crystal Sword isn’t just a razor-sharp blade. Apparently, it can turn emotions into power. Now that makes sense. Tha...

  Chapter 224: Bad situation {TL: By Creed} "Is it really okay for me to have the Snow Crystal Sword?" That doubt hasn’t completely gone away yet. But thanks to Mint, some of that hesitation has faded. "Well then, I should probably..." She was probably about to say, "head home." But before the words could come out, the door opened. The one who appeared was... "Fate, about what's going to happen next..." It was Sofia. She looked at me, then at Mint. Her gentle expression stiffened in an instant. "...Oh my, oh my oh my oh my." Sofia smiled. A very, very bright smile. Terrifying. Her face was smiling, but her eyes absolutely weren’t. "...Ah." "Uh-oh!?" From behind, Aisha, Licorice, and Snow appeared. But the moment they saw Sofia, they turned around and bolted—dash dash dash! Is it really okay for your own daughter to be scared of you? Not that this is the moment for snarky comments. "Fate, what do you think yo...

  Chapter 223 Is it okay? {TL: By Creed} After a while, Horn-san calmed down... We returned to Snowlake and parted ways in front of the inn... Sofia and I went home, were welcomed by Aisha and Snow, and had dinner together with Mom and Dad. "……" I returned to my room, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling. What I kept thinking about was Horn-san’s story. He met Licorice’s friend, Nonoka. As a token of their friendship, he received the Snow Crystal Sword. They traveled the world together. But... Nonoka was targeted by fairy hunters, and in the end, she lost her life. Horn-san, overcome with regret, let go of the Snow Crystal Sword. I slowly sat up and looked at the sheath of the Snow Crystal Sword that I had leaned against the wall nearby. "…Is it really okay for me to have this?" The Snow Crystal Sword will be repaired. That’s for sure. But what comes after that? The Snow Crystal Sword is a symbol of the friendship between Horn-san and N...
