100. It’s a magic sword, but the hero is obsessed
“It’s strange.”
This place used to be a place where dozens of people gathered and chatted just a little while ago. Strangely, however, the moment the silver-haired woman spoke, the son-in-law became strangely quiet.
Like a scene in a play, the extras seemed to fall behind as the main character appeared. She walked without hindrance, and people unknowingly gave up their seats.
Yes, if it was simply driving people away by radiating strong momentum, I could understand. But even now, when I looked at her with her naked eyes, I couldn’t feel her presence.
[Nonsense.]
Impossible. People didn’t panic or shrink, I just backed away with a face that I didn’t know why I was doing this. Naturally, as if it had to be.
The empty lot was empty in an instant, leaving only chocolate, cream, and a silver-haired woman in its place. The silver-haired woman who looked back at the cream caught her eyes for a moment.
But when she turned her head away, the look of cream in her eyes was quickly erased. Instead, the silver-haired woman was looking at Choco.
“I don’t remember allowing you to call my mother.”
The tone is still soft, but at the same time harsh.
Yeah, I thought it would be like this. Cream is friendly with chocolate. But why would you be wary of the appearance of Choco’s mother? Of course, it must be because the relationship between Choco and Choco’s mother is not good.
“Okay, Levia.”
From noble mtl dot com
Levia, who boasts a big body like a beast woman, and Choco, a very short girl. However, despite the difference in eye level, Choco didn’t care and replied shamelessly.
But I’m your mother, can I just call you that? However, Levia smiled smirkingly, as if she liked Choco’s upturned appearance.
“A bird I haven’t seen has grown quite appetizing.”
“Thanks to someone who abandoned me.”
Both of them pretended to be calm, but the atmosphere was tense. Besides, it seemed clear which of the two had the upper hand.
The strong man who defeated the Elder Wyvern, the Beast King. Even aside from that helpless side of her, unlike Levia, who maintained her complete composure, it was clear that Choco couldn’t control her own emotions.
[How should I dry it?]
Choco is not a person with great self-control. Her behavior is reckless and accidental. However, if Levia was hit here, a really big incident would happen.
But Cream shook his head with an unusually determined face.
“Who do you think Choco was waiting for?”
[What?]
“I promised.”
The two mother and daughter, who are not at all like each other, were still standing at the center and edge of the clearing, looking at each other with pretentious smiles. Momentum collided tightly around him.
However, the difference is clear to me now. Unlike Choco, who sweats profusely and puts all her energy into it, Levia is leisurely as if she is out for a walk. Even so, the momentum of the two is brisk.
“Oh, if the situation comes, I will not intervene.”
No, that sounds like you’re really going to die? Seeing that the atmosphere is hideous, it looks like there will be a fight, but if that happens, Choco will die unconditionally.
Even though she is equipped with the divine power of her star, Choco’s fighting style is the type to pin down her opponent based on her overwhelming physical ability.
It’s good to crush the weak, but against Levia, who is superior in physical ability and wildness, she is helplessly torn apart.
“······Worry, are you, are you?”
[A little?]
It’s true that I’m a demonic sword, but it’s not like I don’t have feelings at all.
Still, while fighting with Choco, there was a feeling of hatred attached to it. Well, even if Choco dies, I won’t be sore and sad.
A little bit, even if it’s just a little bit of hair, you’ll be taken aback. She even said that it would be torn to death by her mother. What a tragedy this is
“That’s right.”
I like tragedies caused by my own hands, but I hate tragedies by others.
Cream was still an unknown face. Even in the meantime, the momentum of the two heated up, to the point that even though there was no wind, each other’s hair fluttered like crazy and their hoods fell off.
With her hood off, Levia’s appearance was as expected, a mature and voluptuous woman. She had sparse gray hair between her ears, more like that of a desert fox than a wolf.
“Carbal, silver.”
[Huh?]
“Wouldn’t it be nice if Choco didn’t die?”
That word was strange. Is it common sense that the person who would have been closer to and more attached to Choco was the one who had only been with her on her recent trip, or was she the master Choco would follow?
Cream has also expressed affection for Choco several times. But now Cream, as if he had no interest in Choco’s life or death-
-I was saying it as if it was my doctor who decided it.
[Of course.]
I answered while feeling a sense of hesitation for no reason. Then, she took her hand off her hood, which she was holding on to so the cream wouldn’t come off.
The momentum was turbulent. The hood of her cream pulled off her empty eye sockets, and in the next second Levia looked back in amazement at the explosive force that radiated from her.
“Don’t interfere!”
It was Choco, not anyone else, who uttered that sharp cry. Cream answered while still looking at Choco with a puzzled expression.
“I know.”
“If I can’t get over it this time, I, I…!”
Even though she was trying hard to control herself, the signs of becoming a beast were gradually appearing all over Choco’s body. Wild nature that is different from usual, unable to control itself and run amok.
Is it the aftermath of raising the momentum too much? And that wasn’t all. Even though the guy’s newly acquired power, the sword of the stars, fell asleep, the star’s favor was still guarding him, pouring out flashy lightning bolts.
“Let’s finish here.”
The atmosphere, which seemed to explode at any moment, was cut off with a single word.
“What?”
“You always said that, daughter? Always check when hunting someone. Is that an opponent I can have a love affair with? Only the body has grown, but the mind is still the same as when it was a baby.”
“I’ve never taught you anything like that!”
“Of course not. Should I waste time to a baby inferior? You’re lucky you didn’t kill him right after he was born.”
Levia uttered an absolutely absurd rant, forcing her choco to shut up. I tried to say something in a fit of heat, but she had already turned her head away.
“Besides, I have a passenger today.”
[Is the touching family reunion over?]
“Hmph, what about family?”
A mental wave that strikes directly from the distant sky to here.
Cream’s hand supported the staggering chocolate. Levia looked up at the sky, not paying attention to the appearance. I also followed her gaze and focused her senses.
It seems little by little. A sky soaring high. An unidentified craft was seen orbiting the sky above us, obscuring the sun.
It’s strange that others didn’t notice, the size was unmatched even at such a great distance. It feels like the perspective is getting weird.
[How about it, do I need more time?]
“No, that’s enough.”
Although she seems to be talking in a friendly way, the momentum that Levia gives off is sharper than when she was messing around with Choco just a moment ago. Feeling sincere now.
Les-Viard. A day of celebration in honor of the Beast King’s exorcism of the Elder Wyvern. And, of course, Levia returned on such a symbolic day.
Choco must have been waiting here for her mother, the Beast King. Why did she come back now? She wouldn’t be able to see her daughter, at least not her self.
[Yes, let’s see the end this time.]
“I was waiting for you.”
Is the Elder Wyvern returning because the Beast King has returned? Did the Beast King return because the Elder Wyvern returned? The antecedent relationship was not important.
The important thing is that, at this moment, the legend from decades ago is about to be revived once again.
[······Waiting at the place where we faced each other.]
With the end of the heavy mental wave, the aircraft orbiting the sky spread its wings and flew away. Levia, who was looking at that figure, turned her head to look at us.
“You don’t intend to get involved in this fight, do you?”
“Yes.”
However, to be precise, that gaze was only directed at Cream. It’s as if chocolate doesn’t even matter. As if it was enough to measure the strength a while ago.
Choco gritted his teeth in resentment. Like a well-mannered swordsman, I decided to pretend not to know the tears welling up in his eyes. No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t like that right now.
“Since I have stepped into the realm of transcendence, I was expecting a little…”
Turning her head, Levia lightly stretched and relaxed her body. She muttered as if she was talking to herself, but her vague words were clearly stabbing someone in the chest.
“You’re weak, still.”
It was too cruel for a mother who met her child after several years.
Before Choco cried out, Levia lightly stepped on the ground and leaped. The aftermath rippled all over her, splitting the floor she stepped on.
“Ugh…”
Choco just stared at the spot where Levia had left with her resentment on her face. She soon turned her head to look at us.
“Master.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll be back.”
Everybody knew where she was going, even if she didn’t say it. Choco lightly nodded her head without any signs of distress.
“Yes.”
“I’m not going, I’m coming back.”
Choco had a complex expression, as if he was crying or laughing. She hesitantly touched the dagger hanging from her waist. A small bolt of lightning flashed from her fingertips without my knowledge.
Light.
“This time, will you wait?”
A battle between the Beast King and the Elder Wyvern. No matter how strong Choco was, between the two of them, it was just a shrimp caught in a fight between whales.
However, there was no sign of concern on Cream’s face. With a face that contained no faith or anything, she said softly.
“Wait, I will.”
That was enough. Choco nodded vigorously and felt as if his body swelled up. She pulled out her long tongue and licked her master once.
Soon after, the beast turned its head and started running. People still enjoying festivals, soldiers patrolling the streets, and low walls defending the city. Overcome everything that stands in your way.
In order to reach the footsteps of the beast he wanted to be like.
*
[It’s late.]
From noble mtl dot com
For a while, there was a commotion where a huge beast appeared in the middle of the street and caused a commotion, but even with those minor troubles aside, the festival was still going on in great success.
Late hours beyond dusk to midnight. We were still roaming the streets of the festival, but we weren’t enjoying the festival anymore.
Wyvern claw models that can be exchanged for delicious meat have been piled up. However, cream was generally the news unless it was a sweet dessert.
“Yes.”
So we stopped wandering around pointlessly and went up to the roof of a suitable building to pass the time.
Of course, even the tallest building in a different world was only about three stories high, but even at that height, the scenery of the whole area was clearly visible.
Brilliantly lit lights. Bug-like people walking around laughing.
[Your family life seems pretty complicated. What happened?]
As I looked down at the scenery on the ground, I thought of chocolate as expected. Although it was brief, the atmosphere that Choco and Levia showed was absolutely not that of an ordinary family.
“Just.”
[Huh?]
“Choco, mother, did she want to give birth to a strong child?”
Hmm, just listening to that gives a rough picture of the situation.
A pure-blooded beastman strong enough to defeat an Elder Wyvern. Besides, like Choco, she doesn’t seem to have trained any special skills.
If she can compete with her dragon with just her pure physical ability, how thick must her beastly blood be? It is not strange to act according to wild nature rather than reason.
“When I was young, Choco was weak.”
There is a common saying that lions push their cubs to a cliff, but that is just a myth. Animals have maternity. Of course, in a harsh natural environment, there are cases where pups that would be weeded out anyway are abandoned.
Beasts were beasts and humans at the same time. Besides, even if Choco was born weak, he didn’t have any diseases or disabilities to speak of. Isn’t she still living a great life?
It’s just that he has a late start line compared to his other siblings.
“So, it was abandoned.”
[As expected.]
Why would a heavenly man do such a thing! I’ve seen too many things to say. Not necessarily in another world, but even on Earth, it was common for children to be abandoned without seeing the light of day for their own reasons.
But it certainly left a deep impression on me to be able to act so brazenly in the face of a child I had abandoned. Compared to that poor personality, I’m like an angel, ummm.
“From then on, he said he wanted to prove chocolate. So, I waited.”
[What did you want to prove?]
“Honey, mother, wrong, wrong, wrong.”
Parents who do not acknowledge their children. A child who wants to be recognized by such parents. A common story, if common, turned much more catastrophically when the background of fantasy was added.
Choco and Levia are both pure-blooded beasts ruled by wild nature, and at the same time, they are transcendental beings who have transcended the limits of their species. A strong man of that level can’t tolerate his opponent by nature.
[······No, then is it okay to send it like that?]
As Cream said, Choco will try to prove it. Her own strength that her bastard’s mother so disrespected. And there was always only one way for beasts to prove their strength.
Can two mothers and daughters, who are so ferocious, end up warmly accepting each other and reconciling after a bloody fight? No matter how much I thought about it, such a future was not pictured.
“It’s okay.”
[Huh?]
“Because there are passengers.”
So, at least today, there won’t be a decision between the two. It was a happy and sad story at the same time.
[Tsk, anyway, that’s what family means. Once it becomes a bad relationship, it is difficult to twist it, and it is so tough that it cannot be cut off.]
“Family…”
Alas, come to think of it, he had no family whatsoever. Looking at the chocolate, it wasn’t obvious, but Cream also seemed to have complicated feelings in its own way.
“Yes.”
[Huh?]
“Yes, family.”
[What, really?]
As if cream suddenly fell from the sky one day, wasn’t he an unidentified child without any ointment? Even Cream herself didn’t seem to know much about her past.
Is her past finally revealed? I looked at it with a slight flutter, and Cream replied with a rare look of dismay on her chubby face.
“You and Choco.”
Ah.
She was suddenly madly sorry. When I fell silent without making any excuses, she let out a short sigh as if she knew Cream would.
“You know.”
[Huh?]
“Wow!”
The moment Cream opened her mouth to say something again, strong cheers roared throughout the street.
We instinctively looked around the street. Even though it was late at night, the crowd gathered around. A man who appeared to be an aristocrat stood high on the platform in the center, holding something.
Soon, starting with the aristocratic man, everyone around him pulled what was in his hand. Firecrackers that decorate the end of the festival splendidly soared into the sky.
“Once, separated, broken, family, difficult to reconcile?”
Compared to that of Earth, it was bound to be inferior. But even so, the light was bright enough to illuminate the face of a girl who was still beautiful after losing one eye.
[That’s right. Wouldn’t that be different for each family?]
The roar of fireworks. People’s cheer. Nothing interrupted our conversation. In the riot of countless sounds, we talked to ourselves as if we couldn’t hear anything.
“What if you did something big, wrong, to someone else, to your family?”
[Well, how big of a mistake is that?]
“He ruined our lives, our happiness. Irreversibly, irreversibly.”
Did you say the eyes are the windows to the heart? However, one pupil was enough to show the girl’s heart.
[Can’t go back anymore? Do you think it’s an unforgivable mistake?]
“・・・・・・Yes.”
It is often forgotten because of its mighty strength and expressionless face, but in the end, Cream was a child.
But she has grown a little more than before. She’s seventeen, not sixteen. She no longer runs away, to the point where she can admit her own faults.
[So, are you going to give up?]
“Huh?”
[They said it was irreversible. So, are you going to just leave it in such a twisted and twisted relationship? If it’s family, isn’t it a precious person?]
“It’s precious.”
Through the night when firecrackers embroider splendidly, small shooting stars fall one by one.
The Festival of Humans and the Festival of Stars. The fireworks shot from the ground and the fireworks falling from the sky created an exquisite harmony and embroidered this night splendidly.
[Then you should try. Even if it can’t be undone, I’ll try to fix it as far as I can. So that we can be forgiven and laugh together like before.]
Down there, people are enjoying happiness without care.
“Yes, me.”
[Yes.]
“Such, I thought, I did.”
Even at this moment, Choco must be running after her mother’s footsteps.
[What do you think?]
“You said you were worried about chocolate. Very, slightly, even.”
[It was.]
“So, if, at that time, Choco died.”
Perhaps she has already arrived at the scene of that mythical battle.
The Beast King and the Elder Wyvern, caught up in the battle between the two absolute mightiest men, may have already met their death without leaving a piece of flesh.
“You, that much, Choco, stole from me, as much as your heart.”
And now.
“Would you, more, worry about me, give me?”
[······What, didn’t you like chocolate?]
“I like you, I cherish you. But.”
Even if it’s just a person with their feet on the ground and a sword in their hand.
“Because I don’t like being robbed of anything.”
Obviously, Cream and I were facing each other.
“I know. Wrong, thought, thing.”
Even at this moment, a girl’s smile is brighter than exploding fireworks. The girl’s eyes are more dazzling than the rain of stars pouring down from the gods in the distant universe.
“But, I can’t stand it.”
[What?]
From noble mtl dot com
“Again, it might be stolen. Again, deceived. I wonder if I missed it like that.”
Why is Cream obsessed with me so much? And why did I have a crush on Cream?
There are still many unknowns, but I decided not to worry about it any longer. Somehow, I accepted the cream master, and our souls were connected.
“I like you the most. I cherish you the most.”
When you see that even after hearing the girl’s confession, you can no longer feel burdened.
The connection between souls is closer than ever. At this moment, I was able to read Cream’s thoughts naturally, just as Cream normally reads my thoughts.
“So, never again.”
Closely intertwined spirits.
“Don’t leave.”
A sense of distance that no longer feels unpleasant.
[There was such a superstition in the world I lived in.]
“What?”
Even though we should already be reading each other’s thoughts, Cream still bothered to ask a question even though he knew what I was thinking. I smiled and continued.
[If you make a wish on a falling star, your wish will come true.]
I had many owners even before Crimea. And I forged an emotional connection with the hosts that was different from, and never shallow with, the hosts.
However, the end of the relationship between the sword and the owner was always the same. Unlike the ever-sharp and hard blades, human fabric is fragile and easily bleeds and withers.
I devoured the souls of all those masters. I commemorated my master in the manner of a magic sword.
[So, pray.]
Cream was different. The feelings I had for her now and her previous owners were definitely different.
Deeper and more intense, such as possessiveness. It is ridiculous that even a sword harbors a desire to possess its owner.
[So that I don’t leave. So that I don’t change This feeling, so that our relationship continues.]
But I am a demonic sword. I was no longer the good-hearted, good-natured golden adventurer Shu. I knew better than anyone else my sadistic and impulsive nature.
It seems like yesterday that I tried to run away from the hero’s hand, but now I find it funny how I dream of a future with the hero. However, time is no longer my enemy.
“I, to the stars, do not pray.”
However, even if I was freed from divine protection, Cream was still human.
After countless hours, Cream defeats the demon king as a warrior, and her god’s protection comes off, even if she grows old and ugly.
Can I keep my current heart? The satisfaction that fills a broken soul piece by piece. Even then, will Cream be strong enough to support my soul and resist my temptations?
[Then?]
“The target of what I, pray, do.”
So, please. You are always as beautiful as you are now.
“Either alive or dead, only one.”
So that I don’t suffer from the devil’s desire again. Finally, reveal your magic so that it won’t swallow you, who have become weak.
Since the emotions I felt right now were so beautiful, it was funny that I was afraid of myself who would change in the future.
“Don’t worry.”
Cream’s face is close. Regardless of my will, the sense of the sword rose to its peak. She smiled weakly and stopped her face out of reach.
While holding me with both hands, Cream prayed while looking at the starry sky- no, the night sky.
She didn’t open her mouth to speak. But through the soul her prayers, her wishes, her wishes were heard.
May I be forgiven.
As in the distant past, may we become one again.
I also didn’t emit her mental wave, but in her certain confidence, I answered her quietly. It will come true.
And.
[Ah.]
Through the chilly night air, warm warmth settled on the blade.
The kiss was short. Soon, she gently removed her face. A bright drop of blood trickled down from her parted lips as she touched her sharp blade.
“So, you too, don’t worry.”
As it was, Cream smiled innocently.
[Huh?]
“Anytime, any way, any way. Even if you, already, have changed.”
I suddenly realize. Yes, a season has already passed since I traveled with you.
It was such a short time. However, it was also a long enough time for the demonic sword, which was only hungry for blood and slaughter, to fall in love with its master.
“I, you.”
