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

 



Chapter 262: Fun

{TL: By Creed}

"……"

Lena, with a sword pointed at her, widened her eyes as if she couldn’t believe it.

She stood there, stunned for a while…
Then, she slowly formed a sly grin.

"Ahah."

A small chuckle.
It swelled into open laughter.

"Ahahahahaha!!!"

Lena’s fighting spirit surged.
Was she… getting serious?

I took some distance and raised my sword.

Yet Lena didn’t draw hers—she simply laughed, looking like she was having the time of her life.

"Ah, geez, this is just so funny. I can’t believe you’d actually say something like that… fufu, ahaha. Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh over and over."

"……"

"I really do like you, Fate."

Her smile vanished.
Lena looked straight at me with a cold expression.

"—!?"

Her eyes were filled with a deep, endless darkness.
How many battles to the death would it take for someone to have eyes like that?

"I really do like you… but—"

Slowly, Lena drew her sword.

The magic sword Tyrfing.
It seemed the repairs were finished; there wasn’t a single nick on the blade.

"If you’re going to get in my way, I’ll have no choice but to kill you."

"—!?"

An intense killing intent burst forth.
It was so heavy it felt tangible, and before I realized it, I had taken a step back.

No—this won’t do!
If I let my spirit falter before the fight even starts, I’ll never win.

I can’t lose.
Absolutely not.

"……"

I took a light breath, calming my restless heart.

The trembling in my body stopped.
My breathing returned to normal.

I leveled my sword, fixing my gaze squarely on Lena.

"…Heh."

Lena laughed.

She laughed like she was enjoying herself.

Truly, from the bottom of her heart… she laughed mockingly.

"This killing intent is real and serious… but you can endure it. No—more than just endure it, you actually feel like standing up to it. I thought the only one who could handle this was that Sword Saint…"

"I can’t just let Sofia keep protecting me forever."

"Ahah."

Lena let out another laugh.

"Yeah, yeah—yeah, yeah, yeah! This is good, really good. To think you’d surpass my expectations this much… ah, this is seriously dangerous. I can’t take it anymore. Today, I’m absolutely going to make you mine, Fate."

Lena raised her sword.
Then, she wiped away her smile.

"Fate… will you be mine?"

At that question, I…

TL Note: RUN!

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...
