CH 94

: Sword (1)

"I would like to formally greet you. My name is Iraq Tedley, the Holy Executioner of the Pyro Church, who was dispatched as an acting bishop. It is an honor to see the Sword Master."

"Nice to meet you. Argeno Welton."

"I want both of you to sit first."

Sears offered a seat to Earl Wellton and Iraq, who were shaking hands.

After dinner they had gathered in the count's study.

As soon as Earl Wellton sat down, he said to Iraq.

"I am truly sorry for the death of Archbishop Sephira. The church is suffering a lot."

"Thank you for your concern."

"Zenith, you filthy bastards."

The Count murmured with an uncomfortable face.

He stroked Sears' back, who was sitting next to him with a sad expression on his face. I haven't seen Archbishop Sepira a few times, but I knew he was the gift of Sears.

It was clear to her eyes how miserable she must have been at that time.

Not only that, I heard from the Zenith Church that Jamie and her father-in-law, the Marquis Belle, were nearly killed.

I was so angry that I was so angry that I didn't know what to do.

In my mind, I wanted to go to the headquarters of the Zenith Church and slaughter all the bastards there.

The count cleared his anger at the time and opened his mouth in a calm tone as much as possible.

I'll make them pay a lot for their damage to my family.

A lot is already going on.

The Kingdom of Seldam was working together with other kingdoms in the north to oppress the Zenith Church.

And the Earl is the head of the Eastern Nobility.

They were also in the process of mobilizing their powers to apply political pressure.

"Our denomination will never forget the Count's help."

"We are in the same boat. Best wishes."

When the Count extended his hand to Iraq, he also took his hand and nodded.

"Thank you once again for your consideration. And thank you for giving us part of your home. We will never forget this grace."

The Welltons and the Pyros are now one.

Anyway, I've heard that Jamie has been made a saint.

At first I thought it was a lie, but when I saw the scale on Jamie's left hand earlier, I couldn't help but believe it.

"Then we have something to talk about, so please go in first."

"Let's get up first."

"See you next time."

Airak was greeted by the Count and his wife and left the study.

Only the two of them leaned on the sofa with the male earl more relaxed. Then he told Sears.

"I heard about onyx from my father-in-law. Did you solve it well?"

Sears nodded slightly when Beiryl was mentioned.

Yeah. I've come off well."

The Count smiled at Sears who answered with a faint smile and smiled at each other.

"Good job."

"Aren't you mad?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"It's not my problem, but I made the decision on my own."

At her words, the Count closes his eyes and then begins to laugh out loud.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Why are you laughing?

Sears asked, squinting one eye at her husband's sudden laugh.

The Count wiped the tears from his eyes and apologized to her.

Hahaha. Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to laugh.

He completely stopped laughing and answered Sears' question with a slightly serious face.

"Madam, I mean. If you are happy, that is enough."

Honey ."

Honestly, I don't have a good heart for him onyx, but it was all because he was mean to you, for no other reason. If you're okay, I'm okay too.

The Count said so and added a word.

Ah. it was At the time when he was called a demon, I wondered how badly he felt inferior to me, that he would do something like that?"

"You too."

"What if your husband is so good?"

"Ugh, I have no luck."

this. What if there is no luck? Then, if you hate me, it's a big deal, isn't it?

"Even if you become King Wang, I will love you forever, so don't worry."

"That is a very reliable answer. By the way, it's been a month since I've seen you? You are very beautiful today."

"Hey, wait a minute ."

The wiretapping ended there.

Jamie cut off the mana he had connected to the Count's study.

Eavesdropping beyond this is an invasion of privacy.

Shouldn't you be protecting your family too?

"I'm just trying to have fun ."

In the meantime, Bena, who was blowing her nose fiercely, glared at Jamie with a look of disappointment.

It's like a lascivious squirrel.

"Shut up and go away."

Ahh!

Jamie grabbed Bena's tail and threw it onto the bed.

[Why is my master so pathetic?]

Philion clicked his tongue at the sight of Bena lying on the bed like a paper doll.

Jamie left them behind and organized the eavesdropping in his head.

'As expected, my father was already on the move.'

It also made no sense that the news of Apton had not reached Earl Welton.

However, it was surprising that the kingdoms of the northern continent were united.

In particular, the kingdoms of the northeast were the domain of Arbela, the god of wisdom and stupidity.

The fact that they joined this event was proof that Arbella also disliked Zenith.

'It may have been mere meddling in a contract with the demons.'

Whatever the reason, the fact that they are putting more pressure on them, just thinking about it made me smile.

Janice That bastard must be upset and kicking the duvet with his feet by now. He's that kind of person.

'But don't be vigilant.'

It was Zenith who was even meticulous with her naive personality.

It's a bad situation for him right now, but he'll try his best to turn the situation around.

'There are gods who are on the same side with him.'

Brahman the dragon god and Lily the goddess of beauty.

Their domain was the central continent ; Haron , and it was adjacent to the eastern continent ; Kariren where the Zenith Church was based.

It was a position where they could move together immediately if a war broke out.

'It's still a long way off.'

Now there is only political pressure. It will take several more years for the conflict to intensify and reach a war.

A war is not something that can be started right away by saying 'Let's start!'

Of course, Janice, that madman would start a war without looking back.

If the plan in Apton was successful, the Zenith Church would have detonated a big bomb.

However, the plan failed, and the initiative completely shifted this way.

'I also said that the distance from Law has grown.'

There is no need to worry about Ra's intervention in the southern continent.

That alone puts a lot of pressure on it.

Things were getting interesting.

"But what will Master do now?"

Bena came up on her shoulder and asked if she had come close.

"There's a lot to do in the future."

"Ugh!"

Jamie suddenly stood up and Vena lost her sense of balance and fell to the floor.

Still, it was in the form of a squirrel, and one landing was amazing.

I don't know if that makes me a real squirrel or not.

"It's dangerous!"

Who's coming up?

Jamie nodded, making a sword out of mana.

Then he swung it lightly in the air and said.

"Anyway, I'm thinking of learning the sword right now."

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to tell the Count that I want to learn a sword.

I don't know how they'll react, but I thought they wouldn't hate it.

Thinking about that, he swung his sword one after another.

master. I don't think I have any talent for swords."

A small lump appeared on Bena's forehead.

* * *

The morning was bright.

Jamie, well-prepared and ready to go out for breakfast.

Then I found Bena the squirrel sleeping on the bed with a fluffy belly spread out.

I hated seeing him sleeping with his mouth wide open and drooling.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

He seemed so happy that he was dreaming of eating even something delicious.

"Lazy child."

So I added something delicious.

"Ugh!! Oops!"

It was a large cherry, and it was the perfect size for Bena's mouth.

Jamie smiled and left the room.

It looks really delicious to hear the rumble from behind.

When he arrived at the restaurant, his parents and Sarah, who arrived first, welcomed him.

"Come on, sit down."

"Come here and eat your heart No. Our Jamie has grown up a lot, so we can't call him Mamma anymore."

haha ."

Sears stuck out his tongue with a teasing look.

Jamie smiled awkwardly and sat down.

The meal was served. The Marquis' meal was great, but the dish prepared by the chef who knew the Welton family's tastes was the best.

"Let's all eat well."

The Count made the soup first, and the others started eating right away.

This is the taste.

We ate a lot of delicious food on this trip, but our chef's skills are the best!

Yesterday, I had dinner right after returning home, so I didn't know if the food was going into my mouth or my nose.

'It's really great.'

After a satisfying meal, a light dessert was served.

"It's been a while since I had a peaceful breakfast like today."

Earl Wellton sips his coffee and opens his mouth with satisfaction. He also had a smile on his face because he ate alone for over a month.

It must have been lonely without the family that we ate together every day.

"Drink."

Sarah ate the strawberry cake, covering her mouth.

Sears wiped the area around her daughter's mouth with a napkin.

peaceful time.

Jamie looked at the half-drunk juice and said to the Count.

father. I want to learn that sword."

The Count, who was about to drink his coffee, stopped.

He lowered his glass and asked Jamie if he thought he had heard it wrong.

"What did you just say?"

"I want to learn the swordsmanship of the family."

At his son's absurd remark, the Count looked at Jamie silently and then turned to Sears.

Sears was sipping coffee with a calm face.

He seemed to know what Jamie was thinking.

As the Count was contemplating what to say, Sarah said in a cheerful voice.

"Are you going to be a knight?"

Huh. My brother will also become a knight."

Wow!

Sarah looked at Sears with her big eyes twinkling.

Mom! Brother, rent a knight!"

Huh. Mom heard it too."

"Dad is a knight too! My brother is also a knight!"

Sears smiled and patted her hair, wondering if that daughter was cute.

The Earl asked Jamie with a worried face.

"What do you plan to do with magic?"

"We will practice magic together."

"Does that mean that you want to learn enough for self-defense in a black crisis situation?"

no. As I said before, I want to learn the swordsmanship of the family."

The count's expression hardened at those words.

He said to his son sternly.

"You see the sword too easily."

"It wasn't easy to see."

"Family swordsmanship is not something that can be learned concurrently with magic. The sword is not so slick."

If it was Jamie, even if she learned the sword, she would grow faster than others. Wellton's blood is like that.

However, when combined with magic, the story is different.

The ancestors who did not succeed even if they focused only on swordsmanship were overflowing.

No matter how talented you are in magic, there are things you can do, and there are things you can't.

To the Count, his son's words sounded like an old-fashioned sound.

"I never underestimated the sword."

no. you are underestimating the sword You can't teach a guy like that.

Jamie was quite puzzled by his father's reaction.

So far, Earl Wellton has never stopped him from doing what he wanted to do. If I was told to work hard, I read it extensively, and it didn't bother me.

I thought it would be this time too.

But the Count turned his head with a determined face.

"Don't pretend you didn't hear it."

"I'm serious!"

The atmosphere subsided between the two.

Sara looked at her mother, bewildered by the sudden change of mood.

But Sears didn't even look at the two of them, only sipping coffee.

she knew that you should not meddle in this matter. So we just had to wait and see how it ended up.

Mom ."

Sarah waved her arm with a worried look.

Sears said it was okay and held her daughter in her arms.

The Count stared intently at his son for a while, then jumped up from his seat.

"Get ready and come to the gym."

father.

"I will test your resolve."

The Count left those words and disappeared.

test your resolve

I didn't even have to ask what that meant.

'It must be recognized.'

Come to think of it, I had never had an in-depth conversation with my father, Earl Wellton, whether it was swords or magic.

Because of this, of course, I had never been taught by him.

Seeing my father for the first time. Although quite flustered, Jamie quickly regained her composure.

'I'd rather be good.'

Rather, the Earl of Wellton looked new.

Seeing his father, who was always friendly, treated his sword made him even more trustworthy.

So all you have to do is show the Count what he wants.

'If all you need is proof.'

just follow it

After changing clothes, Jamie went straight to the gym.
