The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 89: Festival (4)

It changed.

The scenery that Gigam had been drawing disappeared for a moment, and was replaced by a completely new scenery.

A vast plain.

A plain where no living thing, no object, no anything was drawn.

“No need to be surprised.”

Shirin was looking at us with the same smile as before.

“I only moved for a moment for training, and I did not do this to harm you. I swear on my name.”

I don’t know what the meaning of swearing on my name is.

It doesn’t seem like a lie.

If it’s a lie, then Shirin is a really... bad person.

Rubia and I bought her so many delicious things, and she hit me in the back of the head right after eating them all?

Then she’s really... not a human...

“Ahem... Where is this...?”

“If I were to explain it in your own words, it would be like the Spirit and Time Room.”

The Spirit and Time Room...?

But isn't that something that only happens on Earth?

Was it also in games...?

So is the time flow different here from reality...

If time passes a little bit in reality even if you play here all day, then it's perfect for playing with Lu... Luvia...

"You're right."

"What, what do you think I'm... thinking?"

"Time flows differently here than outside. Even if you play all day, only about 30 minutes will pass outside."

"Wow, wow..."

Does that mean I can play with Luvia?

If I'm going to do it, I'd like to bring Yuria, Hephaestus, and Charlotte and play and eat together...

"What? That's enough explanation, but how long are you going to hold me like that? Do you plan on sparring?"

"Tch... No, I was surprised."

Unconsciously, I let go of Luvia, who I was holding with the thought that I had to protect her.

“Ru... Via? Are you okay...?”

“...Ah, yes... Where is this...?”

Rubia still seemed to be in shock.

I wonder if there was a big difference between what I imagined and what I actually saw...

I patted Rubia’s waist a few times as she trembled slightly and looked at Shirin.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Then... I guess I should set a condition first.”

“...Condition?”

“Um, I won’t use any magic or even magical power. And.”

Shirin, who was smiling mischievously, began to draw a circle around herself.

The size was roughly... 4 Noah.

“I won’t go outside of this. If you push me away or if I go outside on my own, you win.”

I nodded and drew my greatsword.

“Also, if you can cut off even the hem of her sleeve with your greatsword, that will count as your victory as well.”

“...Really?”

You’re unlucky.

Putting magic or magical power aside, you’re going to fight me without leaving that small circle...?

“She doesn’t lie. Then, since I’ve set a condition for her defeat, I guess I’ll have to set a condition for your defeat as well.”

I tilted my head for a moment because I didn’t understand what she meant.

“Huh... So you’re going to beat her up all day?”

Beat her up all day?

Why me?

“If you keep attacking me all day, won’t the duel never end?”

“...Aha...! That, that’s right... Uh... That’s right. My defeat... Hmm...”

“If your body touches the ground three times, it’ll count as your defeat. What do you think?”

If your body touches the ground three times...

You just have to not fall down, right?

“Are you really confident even if you do this?”

“Of course.”

“Later, t, there’s no need to talk about it...”

“The real woman doesn’t say anything.”

He nodded and turned to Rubia.

“Ru, Rubia... You heard the conditions for the sparring...?”

“Yes, I did... Why?”

“If you did, that’s a relief.”

I only thought about winning, so I forgot all the other conditions...

I pushed her out of the circle unconditionally.

I’ll win if I push her out two steps...!!

“Come at me whenever. The real woman doesn’t care.”

Shirin, who had her greatsword drawn with one hand, smiled crookedly and waved her hand.

“... She’s really unlucky.”

“Hahaha! That’s right, the real woman is unlucky. It’s been a while since I’ve heard that either.”

He sharpened his senses. Still, the inside of Shirin’s body is not drawn.

Neither magic, nor muscles, nor blood vessels, nor anything else is drawn.

No need.

Just push it away.

She shook off her distracting thoughts and focused solely on the opponent in front of her.

“If you win the duel, I will grant you the right of wish.”

Rubia swallowed her breath.

Without thinking about what would happen next, she only took a stance for a single strike.

“But, if you lose.”

She raised her greatsword horizontally.

She put strength into her legs.

“Rubia and Noah, you two kiss. Very passionately. If you’re embarrassed, you can do it in the room.”

“Ugh... Noah! It’s the right of wish and all, it’s okay if you lose, so don’t overdo it!”

Ignoring Rubia’s voice that was worried about me, I struck.

The rotation of my waist with the added strength from the strike. The force transmitted from the rotation tightened the muscles of the shoulder and arm.

Like that.

As if releasing a rubber band stretched to its limit.

The greatsword was fired.

Even someone as skilled as Kalt would have clicked his tongue and dodged a blow of this magnitude.

Surely, he would have.

But Sirin didn't do that.

"Watch carefully."

He lightly twisted the greatsword up.

The path of the twisted greatsword drew flowing water.

A technique I used so often and was confident in.

Flowing water.

However, the result was completely different from mine.

Kyaang-!

The greatsword bounced with a clear sound.

A terrible pain flowed through the bounced greatsword.

My fingers were crushed, and the bones in my arm cracked.

My teeth, which had been clenched to their limit, broke and flew out of my mouth.

The shock that flowed through my arm and all the way to my spine made my mind go blank.

I didn’t even scream.

I couldn’t even hold my breath.

My body wasn’t pushed away.

I just fell to the ground, powerless.

“Once.”

“Noah!”

Rubia, who had rushed over, started to pour divine power into my body.

I put in so much that the divine power that couldn’t penetrate my body leaked out.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than

Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

“Still, I deserve praise for not letting go of the greatsword in your hand. Good job.”

The words that I couldn’t tell if they were sarcasm or praise stimulated my body.

I got up from my seat, cracking my newly grown teeth.

It was definitely the same as me.

But...the result was completely different.

The power I applied came back in full.

No...it came back with my power and another power added to it.

Did Sirin’s power add to it?

“You look like you’re going crazy because you’re curious. Hehehe!”

I’m still unlucky. It's so annoying.

I want to run over there and beat up that sweet chestnut.

I want to pinch that annoying face.

"Noah, are you okay?"

"Yes... It's okay. Rubia is... behind you. She might get hurt..."

I pushed Rubia away and put some distance between me and Shirin.

If I don't think about what happens next this time, the result will be the same.

So... Should I fake it here and there?

It's possible... But it's not easy to do that with a greatsword.

Besides... It's not just that I've lost height, but my weight has as well.

I can't control the greatsword like before.

It's not hard, but I'm not used to it.

I swung the greatsword while stretching my sore muscles.

I thought to myself that it was a good idea to max out my strength stat.

If I had lost even 1, I would have been swung by the greatsword.

“Noah... Don’t push yourself too hard. If you’re going to get hurt like this... Just-”

“Ah, no. I’m going to win no matter what... I ignored the greatsword...”

“No... I don’t mind losing.”

How dare you... How dare you ignore the greatsword?

It’s okay to ignore me.

But you can’t ignore the greatsword.

My... My identity!

A weapon filled with all my romanticism.

A weapon I chose by giving up everything.

So this... absolutely cannot be denied!!

“I’ll definitely... win, Rubia...”

“Huh? No... Not necessarily win... Uh, no... It would be nice if you won, Uh... Uh, yeah. Cheer up.”

Rubia was still not used to the sudden change in scenery, so she spoke nonsense.

I patted Rubia’s waist and looked at Shirin.

Since her body had adjusted to her shrinking body,

Let’s go with a series of attacks this time.

I drew a picture in my head.

I kept drawing a picture of destroying the water flow just now.

However.

I drew it tens, hundreds, thousands of times, but it was impossible.

So I just.

decided to take it.

You'll know when you get hit.

“Whew...”

I caught my breath and ran.

A warm breeze woke me up.

A step later than my awakened mind, the surrounding scenery was drawn.

The great sword in my hand.

Ruvia, who supported my head, had a worried expression.

The wilderness, scratched, torn, split, turned into a mess.

And.

Sirin, who was still smiling mischievously in the circle.

“Are you coming to your senses?”

“...Yes.”

“One hundred and forty-two times. «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Great.”

Did I swing it that many times?

I got up from my seat, dragging my stiff body.

“I did what you wanted, but did you get the hang of it?”

Sirin took a step closer from where she was standing.

She came as close as the distance I pushed her away.

I couldn’t completely destroy it, but I was able to dig in a little, just a little.

“A, a little...”

“Then that’s fortunate. If you had said you didn’t know after I did this much for you, I would have kicked you out, regardless of whether you were my master or not.”

“...I never said I would, you know, become my disciple.”

“Of course, I’m not telling you to come right now. You can enjoy the festival and decide after you reach your destination.”

What’s the point of learning the greatsword from someone who ignores it?

“And now that there’s one more time left... I’ll apologize.”

“...What, what?”

“Actually, I think the greatsword is... a pretty romantic weapon. “I had to slander you because I wanted to provoke your competitive spirit.”

“This, now come and say...”

“Of course, I have no intention of defending the shortcomings that the main woman mentioned, but even if I take away all those shortcomings, I think the greatsword is a good weapon.”

Whether she really meant what she said, or not, the mean expression she had been making until now disappeared.

She looked at the greatsword with a hazy expression and said.

“It taught me a lot. It was such a... intense and hot night. A night I will never forget... A day that left a scar on my body that I will never erase. Something heavy stirred inside my body-”

“No, Noah! Come here.”

Rubia suddenly ran up from behind and covered my ears.

She even used her divine power to block out all sounds.

“Eh... Ugh...?”

Shirin was still looking at the greatsword and talking.

Twisting her body and breathing heavily...

Rubia... was glaring at Shirin with her face wrinkled.

After a while, Rubia's hand was withdrawn and Shirin's breathing became steady.

"Now that it's like that, I apologize for insulting the greatsword."

I don't know what she said, but Shirin smiled with a much lighter expression.

I was curious.

I was curious.

I didn't want to miss this ticklish feeling right now.

I didn't want to delay it any longer.

I wanted to quickly, as soon as possible, swing the sword and make this feeling clear.

"I understand... Let's finish the training..."

"Good!"

As my instincts told me.

As my senses told me.

As my body's muscles led me.

I walked slowly.

I didn't feel the need to increase my distance and increase my strength.

I stood in a place where I could reach it whenever I swung it.

I let the greatsword hang behind me.

My body was light.

My legs could also be stretched out at any time.

My muscles were flexible.

"Ahem...?"

That's right, just as it came to mind.

I held my breath and stepped on the jin-gak.

Pu-hwa-ak- My left foot, which had been scattering dirt, twisted.

My waist twisted accordingly.

My stomach and shoulders were not too strong.

But my grip was as if it would break the hilt.

My body.

My greatsword swung.

At the same time, an incredible sense of weakness weighed down my body, and everything went dark.

And.

A familiar, yet unheard voice flowed into my head.

You get it.

This is how you use a greatsword.
