Chapter275，Part2: 2 - In Return Chapter 275 In Return Part 2

“However, I don’t understand why you brought a cursed sword to . Even if Luke stopped it and even if there would have been no problem if my disciples had not been inexperienced――No incident would have happened if you did not bring it in. Am I wrong?” (Thawne)

There was no anger in his eyes. However, for so reason, it was terrifying. The other party was the boss of every swordsman in the Imperial Capital, so if anything happened to him, it wouldn’t be strange if I was cut down.

How should I excuse myself? No, maybe I should be honest. Lucia doesn’t seem to follow up either……

“Th-That was cursed? No way… But no matter the outco――I entrusted Luke to give it to you as a way of thanking you for all the tis you took care of him. I never thought it would beco like this.” (Cry)

“Mumu, gratitude………… You say?” (Thawne)

It was thoughtless, sure. The sword was a bit ominous sure――But I would like Eliza, the one who brought it to , to tell about those things. Well, maybe Eliza, I didn’t think anything of it.

“Luke and I pulled it out, but we weren’t possessed…… Can you imagine a disciple of the Thawne Style Swordsmanship getting possessed!? No, I can’t!! Yes, no matter how much of a Divine Strategies I may be!!” (Cry)

“Ni-Nii-san, that is, a grave issue. You should have talked about it beforehand.” (Lucia)

Which side are you on, Lucia……

Thawne-san was expressionless. But his quiet eyes are frightening in a different way from that burning grandma. It was still and motionless. I thought I could dodge it with this montum, but it seed impossible.

So I hurriedly added.

“O-of course, I didn’t know that your disciples were weak to Lucia.” (Cry)

“!?” (Thawne)

At my words, Thawne-san’s eyes *pikuri* twitched for the first ti.

I didn’t expect to see that side of the disciples of the swordsmanship school that carries the Imperial Capital on their back………… It was a bit interesting, but I think I know why they can’t beat Luke.

As we can see with Kryhi, Liz, and others, I am sure that those with outstanding ability have, to a greater or lesser extent, sacrificed their humanity at the cost of their power――――No, sorry, there is soone like Ark. There were those who were not dehumanized.

But I am sorry, but I can’t give my precious Lucia to the disciples here. It has to be soone who can defeat . Of course, in order to earn the right to challenge , he must defeat all the mbers in 《First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)》 as a prerequisite. It has always been a rule that in order to fight soone who lives on the top brass, you have to break through the middle level.

As I was thinking about such nonsense, Thawne-san, who had been silent for a good few dozen seconds, opened his dry lips.

His expression has hardly changed, but the fact that he doesn’t show any emotion is scary. Lucia is also the type of person that becos expressionless when she gets upset.

The 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》 speaks in a heavy voice.

“Ah, really…… that’s a painful story to hear. So that was a gift, huh――” (Thawne)

“Ra-Rather than a gift…… Yes. That is a really sharp sword, probably. If you have enough power to wield it, it can definitely be of use to the 《Sword Saint-sama (Kensei-sama)》――Probably!” (Cry)

As I hurriedly began to make excuses, Thawne-sama exhale a little and said.

“Then………… I have to give you sothing back too. Wait here for a mont.” (Thawne)

………… Huh? Maybe he is not that angry.

Thawne-san left the room. As expected, even I can’t bring myself to escape by going to the bathroom.

Lucia, who was sitting upright next to with a posture that was as good as mine, said.

“Nii-san, you are doing too much as you please! The other person is Luke-san’s “Master (Shisho)”, you know!?” (Lucia)

“I-I am sorry, okay. But I was only telling the truth. Seems like I can’t leave Lucia to the disciples here.” (Cry)

“Ha-Hah? You weren’t even talking about that!” (Lucia)

“If they want Lucia, they will have to co and beat Luke……” (Cry)

Well, I am not saying I would give her even if they beat Luke tho’. Her feelings are the most important.

Even so, when I left our hotown my parents asked to take care of Lucia………… Not, they never said that. On the contrary, they asked this to Lucia. I just rembered sothing sad.

And soon after, Thawne-san returned. He took one look at us, who had been waiting for him without changing our posture, and placed a pole-shaped object wrapped in a cloth he was holding on the table.

“…… Sorry to keep you waiting, even in my warehouse there are not many things comparable to that sword. This is a rare item that I acquired a long ti ago and kept in my warehouse.” (Thawne)

Thawne-san removed the cloth. I was wondering if he was going to give so kind of sword, but what ca out from underneath was――A Staff.

It was a pitch-black staff that was twisted like a screw. There was a large jewel fitted at the top of the staff and it looked a little like 『Round World』.

It is a very expensive-looking staff, but why is there a staff in the warehouse of the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》?

I stared at Thawne-san. And Thawne-san said with a smile for the first ti today.

“It is a Relic staff that I obtained during an adventure long ago. I am a swordsman, so I don’t know much about it, but when I got it, I heard that it boasts an unparalleled power of magical power amplification. I am sure that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 can make good use of it. If you sell it, you’ll probably get a decent amount of money――But don’t sell it.” (Thawne)

“Hoh………… This is quite sothing……” (Cry)

What an unexpected lucky break, a staff from the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》. If he is giving it to , I will take it. Although I don’t use a staff. The more you have in your collection, the better.

Maybe because she wasn’t expecting this, Lucia also looked at the staff with wide opened eyes.

I took the staff and lifted it. The 『Round World』 was heavy, but this staff was so light that even I could swing it easily.

I will have to check the effects of the Relic later. Well, although there are many weapon-type Relics that have equipnt requirents that I can’t check――.

“By the way, what is the na of this staff?” (Cry)

“Its na is unknown. After all, it has been lying dormant in the warehouse for a long ti.” (Thawne)

Hmmmm, so it is going to be hard to find out its na. Well, let’s leave it to the experts.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Hahaha Cry must be the only one to receive a gift in return for sending a cursed sword to soone!

But I am sure that Cry saying that he didn’t feel the curse when he took the sword will make everyone think that he is cursed-resistant or sothing.

Tchao à plus!
