The Great Sword is n Chapter 0

“Hey, Hansel. Have you heard the rumors lately?”

“Huh?”

“You know, the one about the little girl who carries a greatsword that’s much bigger than her height?”

I held my breath and quickly hid the greatsword leaning beside

under my cloak.

...Although it was much too big to actually hide.

“Ah, I’ve heard of it. But do you really think that’s possible? Luchi, I’m sure even you couldn’t carry such a large greatsword around.”

“True, but they say she’s blind or sothing.”

“Ha, right. Probably just so story made up by a delusional bard.”

“But you know… They say she’s from the East, and her hair’s black with red eyes…”

I flinched and tightly shut my eyes.

Of course… I kept them shut, but still.

“Oh, co on! A blind person can’t open their eyes! Enough with the nonsense, let’s get to business. Tomorrow’s my daughter’s birthday.”

“I heard it’s true, though…”

The two n got up from the table and walked toward the reception desk after finishing their conversation.

Once they were completely gone,

Bang—

I slamd the cup I was holding down on the table.

The recoil caused white milk to splatter all over the surface.

“Ah...!”

I carefully wiped the milk off the table, glancing around to make sure no one had noticed.

A life so twisted that I can’t even drink a glass of beer properly…

I sighed deeply and poured the remaining milk into my mouth.

“...But listening to that, it really is ridiculous.”

Such an absurd rumor.

How could a girl, who’s only 145.7 cm tall, drag around a greatsword that’s nearly 200 cm long?

And they say that carrying a greatsword activates Giga Sense, allowing a blind person to clearly perceive their surroundings?

And now, what’s this? Her eyes are red?

Ha, right. There’s no way soone like that could exist.

Yeah.

There’s no way…

Right?

“Let’s just go to work...”

I secured the greatsword at my waist and pulled my robe tightly over my body.

Then, I jumped down from the chair, where my feet barely touched, and stretched out my back with a long sigh.

“Ugh-!”

Squeak- Crackle-

“Ah...!”

The greatsword hanging from my waist made a hole in the guild’s wooden floor.

“Crap, this is bad...”

I looked at the hole through Giga Sense, knowing it would never be repaired, but still, I silently wished.

Please make

a bit taller... just 5 cm would be enough.

No, even 1 cm would be fine, please, just make

grow.
