I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated Chapter 933

933: Request from a

Today marked the fifth day since Fran woke up.

I wanted her to relax until her muscle soreness healed completely, but I guess everyone else couldn’t leave her alone.

a visited this morning, bringing up the subject. They had been eting every day, but today’s a looked serious.

「Fran, I have a favor to ask you.」

「Got it. What should I do?」

「……R-Really? I haven’t told you anything yet.」

「I’ll do anything for you as long as it’s not impossible. So I can agree in advance.」

「Fuahaha! That’s my friend! Worry not, it is a simple matter. I am not always so reckless!」

a laughed and turned to Urushi, who was standing next to Fran.

「To be honest, this is more of a request for Urushi than you. I need a ssage sent to Nocta.」

「Woof?」

『ssage? Isn’t there a magic tool for that?』

「The communication tools in the Adventures Guild, Dragon King Syndicate, and Sanatorium were all destroyed during the incident. Part of the Dragon King’s sche, I’m sure. The only way to contact the outside is to send a ssenger.」

It seems that a, Sophie, and Velria held a eting with other influential people in the town, such as the trading company presidents and the won’s association chairwon. They decided to spread word of the Dragon King’s misdeeds.

As a result, they dispatched a number of trustworthy and speedy ssengers to get the word out to the other cities.

「Now that Lind is finally back in action, he’s going out as a ssenger to the distant cities.」

「You can call Lind again?」

「Indeed! That’s why I’m trying to leave town as soon as possible.」

『Oh, is it still pretty bad?』

「It’s actually gotten worse now that Lind is back.」

The news spread about a’s sword being a divine sword. As one might expect, like a hundred people have already tried stealing it from her.

However, it was the dragonkin who reacted even more intensely. To them, Lindwurm was not just a weapon, but a godly entity.

Many dragonkin constantly crowded around a, asking to see her blade. At first, a and Quina took advantage of this trend to increase the reputation of the Beastn Union, but they quickly got fed up with the overly persistent dragonkin.

The ones simply worshiping it were fine, but so of them demanded the blade be handed over to the dragonkin race.

「Although Quina got rid of them quickly enough.」

『Ah.』

Royal status was pretty worthless on this continent, but a was still technically a princess. Demanding a divine sword from royalty wasn’t sothing they could let slide.

Wait, don’t tell …… That story about a rowdy dragonkin gang finding a severed head on their doorstep…… Was it just a rumor, or did Quina actually go that far!? Shit!?

「What’s wrong, Master?」

『No, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about how we should never make an enemy of Quina.』

「Wow, you’ve finally reached that level! Indeed, you’d best not go against her. You never know what kind of punishnt she might give you!」

a glanced around the room after saying that. Quina has you completely trained, huh?

「Enough about her. Let’s get back to the main topic, shall we? I would like you to head to Nocta, making use of Urushi’s imnse speed. How about it?」

「Master, can we do it? I’m also worried about Auntie.」

『Fran’s muscles are pretty much healed now, so it sounds fine to .』

「Woof woof!」

Urushi barked, his chest puffed out as if to say, “I’ll take care of it.” I guess he was getting tired of lounging around in the Sanatorium.

「Then I’ll bring over the letters for you to carry soon. Depart as quickly as possible.」

「Nn. Got it.」

『Leave it to us.』

「You can decide whether or not you want to return to Sendia. There’s barely any antidemons left around here, so it would be pretty boring either way.」

「Okay.」

「If only I could move as well as you…… Give the antidemons hell on my behalf.」

「Nn! I’m on it!」

From there, it was pretty quick.

Within an hour, a returned with a bruise on her forehead from what appeared to be an iron claw, and handed us several letters. Apparently, she had made a mistake and gotten punished by Quina.

I bet a made a slight remark about agreeing with how terrifying Quina was. S-She won’t be mad at too, right? Let’s not co back to Sendia until things cool down.

「Okay, I’m heading out.」

「Space-ti casters sure have it nice because of how quickly they can move.」

「Heheh. Super convenient.」

「Fran, Master, Urushi, I’m counting on you all!」

And then, one full day passed.

We headed for Nocta riding on Urushi’s back, and that familiar huge wall ca into view.

「I see Nocta!」

「Woof!」

『It’s the sa as before.』

Such a huge horde struck at Sendia, so I was worried about Nocta…… But there it was, exactly the sa as it looked before.

It seems Nocta successfully repelled the antidemons. The city had way over ten tis as many adventurers and soldiers than Sendia, so that’s not surprising.

Once inside, we found the place bustling as usual. No, actually, there were even more people than before.

We could clearly tell by walking through the crowded streets. There must have been a large influx of refugees from illegal villages similar to Castel, or adventurers who intended to operate with Nocta as their base of operations.

There were also a few dwarves and demonkin here and there. Maybe they ca after hearing that their queens were in the city.

Actually, no one seed to be celebrating any victories. Did Nocta even get attacked in the first place?

We headed for the Adventurers Guild while observing the surroundings. There, we t a familiar face.

「Sis!」

「Diggins!」

The happy bearkin running towards us was the Rank B adventurer, Diggins. He was one of the guys who fought with us at Castel.

I could easily tell Fran was happy to see Diggins again. I guess she now thought of him as a comrade-in-arms.

「You stayed in Nocta?」

「I was asked to take care of Nadia-san, so there’s no way I could leave her now!」

Whoa, it seems he actually stayed in Nocta to protect Nadia.

「Was Nocta okay with the antidemons?」

「There was one attack, but we all made it through! It’s just, this season seems to have a really strange distribution of antidemons. The number at Nocta was really low for so reason……」

I guess the Dragon King’s n dragged even the antidemons near Nocta to Sendia. No wonder there were so many of them.

「What about Auntie?」

「Nadia-san hasn’t woken up yet.」

「Oh……」

「She’s at Mulsani’s mansion right now.」

（Master, can I go see Auntie first?）

『Sure, I want to know how she’s doing too. Let’s go.』

「Nn. Thanks, Diggins.」

「See you at the Adventurers Guild later!」
