Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 90

I ate the last bite and rinsed my mouth with lukewarm water.

The people who came to see me gathered in a corner and watched me with bated breath until I finished eating the porridge.

Those gazes were so burdensome that I felt like I was going to eat something.

Mulkyung.

As I stretched my hand to the side, I felt a soft touch.

I felt like I could hear a ‘kyuu’ sound in my ear.

licking. The hatchling licked my hand. I felt like the hatchling’s body was shaking and tightening around my hand, as if he was worried about me.

“You ate everything, right? “Now then, come with me…!”

“I have a lot to talk about with you…!”

“Raymond! The body…!”

Alice sighed as they approached her just as she was about to put away her plate.

My ears were already itching.

I want to get some rest.

“….”

Ellis, who was looking at me, suddenly stood up.

She held a tray with plates in her left hand and pushed the people coming towards me out the door with her right hand.

“What are you doing?”

“for a moment…!”

They were able to resist.

There was no way that a Sword Master and a 7th Circle wizard could not withstand the strength of a weak woman compared to them.

Nevertheless, the reason I backed down obediently was partly because I didn’t want to hurt Ellis and partly because I realized my feelings too late.

“Rest.”

Ellis bowed his head and went out.

I lay down on the bed feeling grateful to her.

“What are you doing now? Master is still a patient. “Do you have a mind or not?”

“No, it would have been so bad if we had done so.”

“No matter what, it doesn’t work. He has just woken up. Please wait until your condition improves.”

I chuckled at Ellis’s firm voice.

Wow.

A hatchling appeared on the boat with a heavy feeling.

Then, with a dissatisfied expression, he raised his front paw and tapped my stomach.

As I was staring at it without knowing why, the hatchling didn’t seem to like it so much and kept pounding on my stomach and then hitting my stomach with both feet.

Paat-

Pure white light emanated from the hatchling’s body and covered my body.

“Are you treating me now?”

Wow!

The hatchling nodded as if it was correct and examined my body.

Then, as if he finally liked it, he snorted and curled up on the boat.

When you lift your hand and try to touch his head because you find that cute look.

“Wow, that’s a lot of horsepower!”

The door burst open and Count Skylar, with bloodshot eyes, came inside.

The hatchling was startled and hid itself.

“Where are you…?”

“What is it?”

I turned my head here and there and looked at him in confusion.

It was not difficult to guess that the enormous mana he was talking about belonged to a hatchling.

Now, I was confused because I couldn’t feel anything about the hatchling that suddenly disappeared.

I must have been more embarrassed that I was the only one who felt Mana.

“…Keuhum.”

When he felt my gaze, he cleared his throat and straightened his clothes.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“It’s not bad.”

“Okay…”

He scratches his cheek.

He has a lot to say to me, but he looks worried about how to organize it.

He rolled his eyes, gathered his thoughts, and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Thank you for saving my daughter.”

“Daughter…is this?”

“ah. Don’t you know? “The wizard who was with you is my daughter, Beatrice.”

“Oh, I see.”

“You don’t seem that surprised.”

“I was expecting it. “As soon as he saw my face, he got very angry.”

I knew from the beginning what was expected.

“is it. Well, after that incident, you guys didn’t get along well.”

“….”

That thing.

The incident where Beatrice’s older brother, Jerion, became a vegetable.

Beatrice blamed me.

After that happened, he completely ignored me.

However, as the father, his heart may have been bigger, not smaller, but he did not seem to have much discomfort in dealing with me.

“…Are you okay, Count?”

“what?”

“Jerion didn’t become like that because of me.”

He smiled at my words.

“I resented it at first. “If you weren’t there, that child wouldn’t have turned out like that.”

“….”

“It was only for a moment and I don’t blame you. What happened back then wasn’t anyone’s fault. “If I had to make a mistake, I would have to blame the orcs who showed up on the spot.”

It was unexpected.

I thought he, like Beatrice, would resent me.

He seemed to have read my thoughts and smiled bitterly.

“I know that kid well. “If that situation were to repeat at any time, I would have sacrificed my body to save you all.”

“…okay.”

“The reason I resented you was because your behavior, which was saved through your son’s sacrifice, was the worst. Well… that too has changed.”

He came over and tapped my shoulder as I forced myself to raise my upper body.

“I want to thank you. Thank you for saving my daughter. “I won’t forget this.”

“….”

I nodded.

His eyes had become softer.

In any case, I am the benefactor who saved his daughter.

“And you caught Reid… “To be honest, I was a bit surprised by this.”

“Oh, that was a bit of luck.”

“I caught the raid with luck… I want to have some of that luck, too.”

He becomes silent for a moment.

After thinking about something for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“What are you going to do with Reid? If you’re going to sell it, sell it to me. “I will take care of you so you don’t feel embarrassed.”

His eyes were very bright as he said those words.

The by-products of the raid were extremely valuable.

For a wizard, it may create an opportunity to overcome the wall.

If Reid’s body is divided into 5 parts, not much falls on Beatrice.

Since he is also a wizard, he probably doesn’t want to miss this opportunity.

“I’m sorry, but selling it seems difficult. It’s not like I’m tight on money. Regarding distribution, I will talk with Ms. Beatrice again tomorrow. “I’m tired today.”

“ah. yes. I’m sorry. “I’ll go out.”

Count Skylar is startled by my words and goes outside.

I closed my eyes as I watched the door slowly close.

***

The corpses of Reid and Basilisks are piled up in the yard of a rented inn.

“I guess this is roughly enough.”

The body was divided and distributed to each person.

The Mercenary King and Count Skylar are quietly watching.

It was shocking in many ways to see ingredients that are not easily available anywhere in the world rolling around on the ground without a care in the world.

He packed the by-products of Reid and Basilisk in a huge sack and entrusted it to Beatrice.

“I’ll ask you to take care of me until the end.”

“…uh.”

Since I didn’t have a lot of subspace pockets and there was no wizard around who could use subspace magic, I asked her to do it.

Please transport it to the Millennium Count’s House.

When I asked for a worthy example, Count Skylar refused.

He said this wasn’t enough to pay for saving his daughter.

“Are you going right away?”

As I was preparing to leave the city, the Mercenary King approached me with a look of disappointment.

“yes. “I’ve been out too long.”

“Hmm….”

Mercenary King.

There are many modifiers for him.

And most of those modifiers were not good.

Mad dog, crazy guy, Berserker, crazy sword master, etc…

The Mercenary King is a guy who is crazy about nothing.

If he thinks he’s strong, he’ll fight, and if he loses, he’ll ask to spar until he wins.

Thanks to his personality, he became a sword master, but the people he made can be said to be the worst.

“It’s a shame. “I thought I found the right partner.”

He had been unable to find a suitable sparring partner recently.

It seems like it was captured by him.

If you don’t handle it well, it can be quite annoying.

“It was called Raymond Millennium.”

The sight of him muttering my name couldn’t be more creepy.

“I guess I should visit sometime.”

“what did you say?”

“hmm? no. nothing. “Goodbye.”

what?

I feel very uncomfortable.

I feel like I didn’t hear something I shouldn’t have missed.

“bye! “Come again next time!”

“How about teaming up with me next time? “I can treat you well!”

As we left the city, mercenaries cheered and shouted from all directions.

The sight of me in front of the castle gate must have left an impression on them, and they looked disappointed as they could not let me go.

‘I will never come here again.’

I almost died dozens of times when they came to stop a monster wave for no reason.

I have absolutely no desire to come back to this place again.

“egg plant.”

Count Skylar calls them to his side.

He stretched out his hand and started chanting magic.

A bright light emanates.

“Warp!”

My vision was reversed.

“Who are you?”

A sharp spear suddenly appeared in front of my nose.

I reflexively grabbed the window and twisted it.

“Huh!”

The man whose spear was suddenly taken away looked at me in confusion.

‘Did they come in one room?’

The man who was aiming the spear at me had a magic book emblem with golden wings representing the millennium hanging on his chest.

I saw a spear of the same color drawn under the magic book, and it was a sentry in charge of the entrance to the city.

‘Magic is convenient.’

Rather than pointing a spear at me, I was amazed at the convenience of magic that made it so easy to move around.

“Huh… Huh…!”

Unlike me, Count Skylar was breathing heavily.

It was not an easy task to move several people this far at the same time.

It was also something I would never have done if there had been no favor for me.

I looked away from him and spoke to the man who was still frozen.

“I can’t come to my senses. “Isn’t there a road?”

“Eh… yes?”

“Looking at my mental state, I need to regain my discipline.”

“who…?”

The sentry looked at me and tilted his head.

Before I could say anything, I saw knights running from inside the city.

“insect!”

The knights lined up in front of me placed their fists on their chests and bowed their heads.

Even though I hadn’t seen him, I felt much better seeing that discipline was in place.

“We will take care of you from now on.”

It’s good that I came, but how do they know I came?

I believe Ellis hasn’t contacted me either.

“I contacted you.”

Count Skylar’s words helped me understand the situation.

If he was the one who made the contact, the drivers’ quick response is understandable.

“The Count is waiting.”

“okay.”

I walked in with confident steps, leaving behind the knights who were looking at me with strange eyes.

“It’s Master Raymond!”

“Hasn’t the atmosphere changed in some way?”

“Who is next to him?”

“Quiet. “This is Count Skylar!”

“Huh! But why is someone like that with you?”

It was noisy.

Upon hearing that I had returned, all the people in the count’s house gathered.

As I entered the castle, I was greeted by Count Millennium with his vassals behind him.

“You’re here.”

“I’m home. father.”

He nodded to me as I lowered my head.

“You’re here too.”

“Long time no see. “Grand wizard.”

Next to me, Count Skylar knelt on one knee and bowed her head.

“Don’t stay like that, come inside. Raymond, I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about.”

“yes.”

I nodded obediently and followed behind him.
