Chapter 307 – Film.K
“What, are you going home already?”
Yakaf nodded to Thaddeo who asked him. Normally, he would have played with me until late in the evening, but recently, he often went home alone before lunch.
“I have something else to make these days.”
“Why do you put so much effort into it? Show us some later.”
“I’ll show you later when it’s finished.”
After seeing his friends quietly withdrawing, Yakaf immediately returned to his house.
“I’m home.”
“Oh, come on!”
Then, what greeted him was the smell of warm food tickling his nose and the sight of Leah sticking her head out from the kitchen with her light pink hair flowing.
“…You don’t have your own house anymore.”
She had been perfectly adjusted to her home for the fifteenth week since she had returned.
“Ah, you cook for me instead?”
“Are you eating too?”
“How about it~ Pay for the labor cost. It’s much better than the strange dishes you cook, right?”
Yakaf clicked her tongue as Leah smiled slyly and hid her sticking out head. Because it was an undeniable fact. When he entered the living room, a table full of food was waiting for him. When he comes out after roughly washing his hands, Leah, who sits at the table first, gestures toward him.
“Thank you for this food.”
“Yep!”
When Yakaf muttered while holding a spoon, she smiled and nodded her head. He ate the food even though he was dumbfounded. He couldn’t be said to have great taste, but he was far better than he did it himself. After finishing the meal while receiving Leah’s gaze, he headed to the smithy when she saw her cleaning up after the meal. There was a huge cross wrapped in a cloth. However, when you remove the cloth, what you see is not a simple cross, but a huge sword in the shape of a cross.
If you ask if it was made by Jacob, it wasn’t, and neither was his father. If his father had seen it, he would have yelled at him for wasting precious iron on something useless. As Yakaf was examining the sword, he felt the door to the forge carefully open and a sign sneaking up behind him.
“Don’t play around, just come.”
“Tch, how about being sensitive if you look at it just once?”
Leah grunted and she came to his side.
“So what does it look like to you?”
“Haa, why did you bring such a troublemaker?”
This huge sword was none other than hers, the sword she brought back.
“What a nuisance! This sword has a great name! I don’t know how to read it…”
“A decorative sword with no practicality whatsoever?”
The huge sword was a head taller than he was. To the extent that I wondered how he managed to lift one head with such a small stature. In addition, it seemed certain that it was made of iron, but I could tell that the sword’s exterior was covered with gold in a color that sparkled as if it would go blind if a little light hit it. In addition, there was even a jewel that emits a mysterious blue light in the center of the handle, so it was not an ordinary ornament at first glance.
“Where did you really steal from?”
“It’s not true! Why don’t you believe it?”
“Think of your actions, you thief.”
“Oops, this is what I found downstairs.”
The name Barisada was the only one shining in silver on the splendid golden blade.
“How do you do this?”
Yakaf had a headache from an untimely headache. That’s because the sword was too big even if it was big. Leah, who had brought the sword, seemed to notice as he kept looking at the sword and frowning.
“Are you in such trouble?”
“It’s embarrassing just by its size, but it’s more conspicuous because it’s gilded. How do you hide something like this?”
His father rarely came home, but the smithy was the place he always stopped by. Even if it was hidden in a cloth, it was strange that such a large object would not be discovered if it suddenly appeared. While he was contemplating what to do with the sword, Leah’s appearance suddenly caught his eye.
“Boo.”
She pursed her lips and looked at her sword with her sorrowful eyes. Yakaf finally let out a sigh at the sight that looked too affectionate to be a simple ornament.
“Ha, yes. First of all, let’s take off that gold lacquer.”
“Sword, can I have it?”
Could she have never thought that she would allow it? Leah looks at him in surprise.
“I don’t think I’m going to throw it away anyway. Well, if I just peel off that gilt, it’ll be less noticeable.”
Wouldn’t it be possible to prevent that? At Ya Karp’s question, she smiled brightly and nodded her head.
“It’s okay! The important thing is not decorations, but that sword!”
“It’s a sword…”
Come to think of it, did I say there are monsters downstairs? I didn’t know because there were no monsters coming upstairs upstairs, but I think I heard that weapons like swords and spears were important downstairs. She thought that maybe that’s why she was obsessed with that sword, and when she raised it, she checked again the feeling of weight on her arm.
“Is this really made for human use?”
“Why do you think so?”
When Leah asked curiously, he raised his sword and showed it.
“This weight is not a weight made for people to use.”
For once, the sword was a weight that could be lifted to some extent. The problem is that it felt quite heavy even for Yakaf, who had handled iron so far. It can only be lifted once, but can a person lift and wield it? I could say for sure that it wasn’t.
“Even if you swing this once, it’ll be hard to pick it up again.”
He had never made weapons like swords or spears like the blacksmiths downstairs, but at least he had experience with a hammer. He felt the same way when he first picked up the forging hammer as a child and now when he picked up this sword.
“Eh, can’t we just not make something to lift again?”
“…What nonsense.”
Yakaf, who was at a loss for words at the sight of her talking as if it were natural, was bruised, and Leah pouted and continued her words.
“So! Isn’t it enough to swing it so it doesn’t touch the ground?”
“You’re in the same place as me, right?”
“Ooh! Is it real?”
“You have to say something that makes sense to believe it.”
It was a heavy sword that was too heavy for him to wield or carry. It was to the point of wondering how Leah, who was smaller than herself, had carried such a heavy sword upstairs.
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you!”
“Even if you can wield it, where will you wield it?”
You couldn’t wield the sword inside the house, and even if you wielded it outside, there were too many people upstairs.
“I know a good place!”
She wasn’t very trustworthy when she spoke confidently, but she didn’t have much to say, so she wrapped her sword in a cloth and arrived at an empty lot.
“How is it? Is it okay here?”
Certainly, as she said, the clearing was wide enough to wield the sword freely. Yakaf, who had lived upstairs, was in such a remote place that he had never seen it before, so he didn’t have to worry about people’s eyes. The tree was so tall that even if you looked up, you couldn’t see the top, and at the same time, it extended numerous branches, but it was producing pink flowers instead of leaves.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a tree like this.”
“Isn’t it pretty?”
He couldn’t help but nod his head at Leah’s question.
“Thank god!”
Leah, not knowing that his eyes were looking at her, looked at her tree again after watching her rejoice.
“The name of this tree is Peach Tree.”
“Does a tree like this grow downstairs?”
When she asked just in case, she shook her head.
“Then how do you know your name?”
“From a storybook!”
“When did you get that again?”
Leah, who had already brought it, took out a children’s book from his arms and showed him a scene. In the fairy tale book, there was a picture of a large tree full of flowers of the same color as the tree here, but what caught his eye was something else. Because right under that tree, a knight and another knight in pure white armor were drawn pointing their swords at each other. So I tried to ask him about it, but Leah was quick to close the storybook.
“Now I’ll show you how to wield it!”
Then, when she asked for the sword she had brought with her, Yakarp wondered if she could handle a sword bigger than him, but she had no choice but to hand her sword to Leah. Because while staying with her, she knew that she was more stubborn than she thought, so if you do it once, she won’t stop until you do it right. She stood away from him, holding a large golden sword.
“Now, look closely.”
Leia raised her sword as if she were flicking it as she watched, wondering if she was really going to swing it. If it was as it was, she would have stopped at the line for a short time. If she hadn’t started moving her arm and swinging her sword.
– Huung! Yup!
The sound of a large sword being swung by a girl smaller than herself caused a louder wind than expected and made pink petals that had fallen on the floor shake. If it was the first time, I could have skipped it. But she didn’t just swing her sword once. No, it hasn’t even ended yet. Yes, when she cut through the air with her great sword, she took her sword with her other hand, connected her sword with her back, and then took it back with her other hand and swung the sword again. Just because.
Yakaf soon realized that Leah wasn’t just wielding her sword by force alone. As she continues to wield her sword, she draws a golden shield that protects her body, and her sword draws the shield, grabbing her power to move forward and turning it around, causing her to wander around herself. Her shield, which she draws, does not stop there, but blows the petals that had fallen to the ground and lifts them up into the air again. Leia continued to swing her sword while scattering her hair in the space where petals of the same color as her own light pink hair that had been lifted up were scattered.
Although simple, the beautiful figure wielding a golden sword among the petals was worthy of being called a dance. If you were tempted by that figure and accidentally approached it, you would be cut directly by the blade of the golden sword that draws the shield, but you could say it was beautiful nonetheless.
“How is it?”
Leah didn’t finish, and she stuck her sword in the ground, which she was about to wield, to a halt, and looked at Yakaf as if she were bragging about it. But he was more concerned about something else than his appearance.
“Are you sure you handled that properly?”
“Ooh! Excuse me! Did I learn this way?”
“…Give me a second.”
“To?”
Yakaf took her sword from her and found a suitable tree near her.
“This should do.”
He stopped at the outskirts of the clearing, in front of a tree with a trunk as thick as a human trunk.
“No matter how you look at it, there are a lot of gaps to use as it is. There’s no problem wielding it.”
Yakaf raised her sword as she did the first time and swung her sword at the tree in front of her. Then he gets stuck in the trunk of a tree and the sword stops as it is. She couldn’t wield it even if she tried to wield it like she did.
“And passing the sword back is also a problem.”
He pulled out the sword stuck in the tree and turned it back. If the tree were to be regarded as a person, it would be like giving his body to his opponent.
“I think there’s a problem with the sword itself, but no matter how you look at it, it’s not suitable for dealing with people or monsters.”
Since it’s such a huge sword, even a single cut would be fatal, but even so, is there anyone who can die with just one hit? If you are a person who has a shield along with armor like a knight in a fairy tale, the shock will be great, but if you are a monster with a high probability of being able to withstand it and have a hard upper shell, breaking it is a task. However, the problem was how the sword, which took so long to swing again, would withstand the gap.
“It’s good to swing with weight, but the problem is how to finish off the opponent more reliably when you collide like this.”
At the same time as the returned sword was driven into the other side of the tree, he pushed the handle of the sword and rotated it, leaving a mark on the tree with the cross guard protruding like a cross, and using the repulsive force, he stood up again.
“If you don’t close the gap like this, you’ll be beaten to death faster by others.”
He plunged his sword into the floor as the weight weighed down on his shoulder.
“That’s why I’d rather have another sword than something that’s like an ornament…”
“Wow!”
But he couldn’t speak. Leah’s cheers, which had been watching him until now, covered his words. Because of this, when Yakaf looked at her curiously, Leah faced him with her green eyes shining more than ever.
“I think I know now.”
“What?”
“Yakaf will definitely become the best knight!”
“…Stop reading fairy tales!”
“Kyaa?!”
He put honey chestnuts on her forehead at that nonsense.
“Wow, I just said the truth, but it’s too much!”
Leah said it as if it was unfair, but Jacob clicked his tongue.
“What’s the best knight? What on earth do you call the best and what are you sure I’ll be a knight for?”
“Uh, you’ve never held a sword before, right?”
“I tried holding a kitchen knife.”
Even that was annoying, so after doing it a few times, I started making rice balls and eating them. At his words, she nodded her head.
“But still, Yakaf said the same thing as my dad.”
“What?”
When he looked at her in surprise, Leah was looking at him with her bittersweet smile.
“As expected, if it’s you, I think it’d be nice to tell everyone.”
Won’t you listen to my story?
