Chapter 190: The Flash of a Hero

…And just as we were having so fun, Sword showed up.

“Indra! Your up to sothin’ ‘gain, right!? Your the one behind the broken windows, aren’t you!?”

Tsk. He got wind of it too quickly. Now he’s already here, huh…?

“…I haven’t tortured anyone so far. Rather, I was looking forward to so fun ti from now on.”

“””Eh?”””

I heard several people gasp, but I was just talking to myself, so please don’t pay any attention to it.

“You’re wrong. This here is the 『Damsel Scarlet vs. Primrose and her goons』 stage. I’ve been just defending Damsel Scarlet.”

“””””Eh?”””””

This ti even more people grunted at my reply, but that’s my take on this!

Because of my remark, Sword suddenly ca to a halt.

“……Primrose?”

“Yeah. She was apparently trying to push the responsibility for herself tripping on her own two feet on soone else again. This ti she chose Damsel Scarlet as her target. One of her goons, the son of the Knight Leader, fielded a fake witness after constructing so false accusations, and on top of that, tried to get rough with Damsel Scarlet, so I burned his hand. And since I caused skin and muscles to lt together while he was gripping his hand, he probably won’t be able to ever open his hand again, let alone hold a sword.”

Everyone was startled. And the musclehead also got startled by that, staring at his own hand.

“My hand…my haaaannnd!”

“Shut it. Where did all of your earlier haughtiness go? Didn’t you loudly bark until Sword ca around? But, leaving that aside, apologize to Damsel Scarlet. You were also told to do so by your beloved Primrose, weren’t you?”

…While I was talking, Sword walked on stage.

“Instructor Sword!”

My little sister looked at Sword with teary eyes for so reason, but…does Sword also enter the category of useless bums? Well, I guess he does pick up malice right away and gets all depressed over it. And there’s also him being a drinker, I suppose.

As I was worrying about this, Sword ca to a halt right in front of Primrose.

“…So your Primrose?”

“Yes! Thanks for always looking after my big brother! …I longed for the opportunity to have a good long chat with you. Did my brother cause you any troubles? Back at ho, my brother often put on the spot with his carelessness and got regularly scolded by our Father because of it.”

Hey!? What’s with those fabricated mories? It’s true that your father yelled at , but I never acted carelessly and I didn’t put you on the spot either. The only one blundering was you, and the only one causing trouble was you as well.

“――Yeah, I know,” Sword laughed in a scary way while staring at Primrose. “I t Indra when she was seven years old. I’m also aware ’bout the circumstances at your ho. Even though Indra should have been the noble daughter of an earl, she was runnin’ ’round with an appearance that made mistake her for a poor brat back when I saw her for the first ti. She wore the tattered work clothes of a commoner that didn’t match her size at all, and her hair had been trimd down like that of a boy. …I hear you were the one who cut her hair?”

“Eh? …Yes, indeed! Ehehe, it’s embarrassing since I wasn’t good at it…”

For so reason, Primrose started to bashfully fidget around.

“So, who cut your hair?”

“? My father called a barber to the mansion and had him cut my hair!”

*freeze*

Due to her words, most of those present apparently grasped how I was treated at the earl house. But I wonder why? Most look frightened as if asking, “How gutsy of them to have treated this guy like that!!” It must be my imagination.

＊

“So, Young Lady Primrose Springcoat, you lived a life of no need, wearin’ pretty dresses and havin’ your hair done by professional barbers, always bein’ pampered by your father. But your elder sister, Indra Springcoat, did special trainin’ in the backyard, wearin’ shabby rags and havin’ her hair ssily cut short by her little sister. Everythin’ she had owned was stolen by her father, who ca back to the mansion after her mother died, and an extrely harsh life was forced on her. So extre in fact, that she obtained her current strength after single-mindedly trainin’ herself with the goal of leavin’ her ho as fast as possible.

…You see, I know all about it since I had been there back then. I’m fully aware of your and your father’s treatnt of Indra!!”

……I got startled. Sword was seriously angry.

And right now he was gathering magic elents in a density comparable to …no, going beyond . He’s even stealing so of my Mr. Fluff.

Primrose, and even the prince and his underling froze due to Sword’s serious mode, cowering in front of him. All those around us also held their breath while paralyzed.

＊

“…Yeah, I was finally able to et you, Primrose Springcoat. I cannot help but find it strange n’ a sha that Indra didn’t kill you n’ your father with her own hands, but luckily I vowed that I’d take care of it in her place. I’d planned to get rid of you when leavin’ this place, but fortunately I ran into you right now n’ here. Well, I guess it’s just a matter of your life havin’ been shortened a bit. ――Bye bye.”

Sword drew his sword and slashed it.

――I blocked it with a single stroke of my wooden sword.

“……Indra……” Sword groaned while scowling at with a gleam in his eyes.

“Calm down, Sword. Why are you getting so heated anyway?”

…Sword’s serious blow was terrifying. My wooden sword would have been shattered if I didn’t get quite serious myself…

――Bah, the wall in the back has been cut by the aftermath! Sword, you went way too far!

＊

“…..Hey, tell !! Why are you forgivin’ this wench!!”

To make matters worse, he shouted at .

“It’s because I was able to et you,” I answered while looking straight into his eyes.

“……et ?”

I nodded, “I was able to et you. That was a miracle which would have never taken place if I had lived normally with my father not being such scum and this girl over here not having entered my life. Even having obtained all this knowledge probably stemd from being on the verge of death after having been unable to procure anyone’s affection. If not for that, all the knowledge and mories would have likely been too straining and expansive to recall. All of that was a necessary miracle for to reach this place now and here. I’m happy right now, and that’s because I was able to et you. It might have been fine to live my life as a normal, noble lady, but living the life of a caged bird is nothing for , I think. So, it’s good that it happened as it did.”

Sword’s anger faded and his magic elents dispersed.

“If you don’t regret having t and having beco your partner, and if you don’t think that it’d have been better for to remain a noble daughter of Earl Springcoat, then please stop being so obsessed about this. I’m glad that I beca your partner.”

“……gh.”

Sword drew his sword back and sheathed it.
