A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover

“

We left the city as if we were fleeing.

After leaving the royal capital, we safely entered the neighboring country of Grigit.

Grigit is a relatively small country.

Most of it is covered with forests, and it is also a mysterious country with many legends.

It is also famous for its fairy inhabitants.
Besides that, the last temple of sacred weapons is here.

”Haah, it ’s another beautiful day. ”

”Good morning, Master. ”

Kaede was sitting on a chair near the bed.

Judging from the big smile on her face, she looked to be in a great mood.

She wagged her tail from side to side and her ears twitched more than usual.

Hmm…
Why is my shirt wet…?

”Speee, Speee. ”

”Kyui… ”

Above me was Frau sleeping on top of Panda.

Panda seemed to be annoyed by the drool.

”Are we heading to the hidden fairy village today?

”Yes.
After all, it was Frau ’s idea to go there. ”

”…Maybe she ’s trying to get her Lord to do a particular task. ”

”It ’s possible.
Looks like she was looking for me. ”

I looked at Frau and couldn ’t help but laugh at her unkempt appearance.

Panda approached me, and I pressed my finger to Frau ’s cheek.

”Ugu, Ugugu, what ’s wrong…? ”

”You were having a nightmare. ”

”I ’m surprised you didn ’t wake up. ”

”How mean. ”

Okay, enough with the jokes.

I quickly changed clothes and put on my equipment.

I stopped for a moment to look at my armor.
It was in bad shape.

I think it ’s about time I buy a new one.

We should stop by the armor store before going to the fairy village.

”Master, your armor looks like it ’s about to break. ”

”I was just thinking the same thing. ”

”In that case, I know a good place to find some new armor. ”

I ’m having a sudden feeling of déjà vu.

On the way to the fairy village, we visited the second temple of the sacred sword.

The reason we came to this place was because of Kaede.

”Haven ’t we already gone to a sacred temple and retrieved the sword? What I need now is armor. ”

”Master, do you no longer remember that the object we had found became a sword afterwards? ”

That ’s true, but…
How is this supposed to become armor?

”It is generally considered a holy sword, but in reality, ”Holy Armaments ” have properties that are not restricted by form.
If you want, it can become a sword, a spear, a shield or even a suit of armor. ”

”But this great sword will not become a one-handed sword. ”

”Of course, it cannot always be used freely.
It will only take the form the owner desires once he takes it out. ”

Somehow I could understand what she meant.

I just have to think about wanting armor once I pull out the sword.

But, to my knowledge, I have never heard of anyone in possession of two or three sacred weapons.

Even the greatest hero who ever lived is said to have owned a single sacred sword.

”It ’s all right.
After all, Master is Master. ”

”Why do you trust me so much? ”

Frau, who was sitting on Panda ’s back, also nods with folded arms.

How can you be so sure of what Kaede says if you haven ’t even known me that long?

”This temple doesn ’t look that different from the previous one. ”

The temple was very similar to the one in Armand.

A huge pure white structure.

There is a divine and indescribable atmosphere.

I wonder if the reason there is no one protecting this place is because no one wants to risk getting close.

”Master. ”

”Footprints? ”

I only noticed after Kaede pointed it out.

There are a series of footprints leading to the temple.

Judging by the number of prints, there are 4 people.

It may be that the sacred weapon has already been taken by someone else.

I went to the door and opened it.

Goooooooong

Paank

A light came on in the dark hallway.

I ’m begin to walk deeper inside.

”It ’s there. ”

”Apparently they couldn ’t take it. ”

”Kyui ”

The sword before me shone brightly as light coming in from a stained glass window was reflected off of it.

Hmmm, I wonder if it really is the second sacred weapon.

Not that I doubt it, but I find it hard to believe.

What if it ’s not the second and it ’s a trap?

Is there a possibility of something like this happening?

It is better to take it out and clear away my doubts.

I stand in front of the sword.

I grip the hilt and control my breathing.

”You can do it, Master! ”

”Yes! ”

Kaede ’s confident voice echoed throughout the room.
