The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 99

Translator: Paul | Editor: Nebosuke

It’s night, and Zenas Radi is alone in the forest.

With a sword in his hand, she walks the path with only the moonlight to guide him.

His goal – The town near the sea, Rilei. Every footstep was able to be heard, as he moved on without hesitation.

Zenas had even fought within the Kingdom, but Ruino decided to change everything up by cooperating with the Knights Order… 

So he had to withdraw temporarily.

Most of the Swordsman Gang chose to live this way.

That day, that moment – If he had decided to fight, he would have made that place his grave.

There were more than enough people gathered there to overwhelm him, so he had to break away with full force.

But that strength had already halved by now…

“….”

As Zenas walked on he felt the presence of monsters nearby.

He felt this ever since he entered the woods.

Especially during the knight, there are many monsters about, so even a carriage would not be able to traverse it during.

But for him, it was all just meat on the platter. That’s the kind of man Zenas is.

The monsters looked at Zenas – But he carried on without giving it much thought, straight for the town near the sea.

His objective lies there.

“Gara~!”

“–A monster..”

A wolf-like monster came leaping out. Without even looking at the beast, Zenas swung his blade. And within a moment the beast’s head went flying, straight into the air.

Fresh blood fell down around its corpse. But Zenas’ crimson blade didn’t change color. It looked like raindrops were falling on its steel.

He didn’t even bother with cleaning his blade, as he walked on — But then he noticed something else, and he quickly looked into that thing’s direction.

“… I can’t believe you actually ended up here”

What he saw before him, was a person. Though he didn’t even look at the wolf from before, Zenas actually spoke out to the silhouette that appeared before him. 

Before him stood a single man.

“Well… There isn’t really anyone that takes on the mantle of Swordsman Gang any more, are there? 

So for that reason, it really can’t be helped, and I’ve got to play my part, don’t I?”

The one that had appeared was a middle-aged man, with a troubled smile on his face.

As he stroke his crude beard, Zenas looked on to his destination again.

“You’re after Alta Schweiss, are you? My oh my… He’s the one that slew four of the Swordsman Gang, isn’t he? And isn’t dear Lastille now also dead? I really think you should stop going after him, old man”

The middle-aged man was rather weakwilled in his statement. Even if he were to be affiliated with the Swordsman Gang, no one would actually speak like this.

If any other member had heard this, they possibly would’ve “dealt with” him right on the spot.

But Zenas didn’t feel any form of anger after hearing what the man had to say and kept his eyes on his objective.

“…Perhaps. But, he’s, he’s not the one I’m after”

“–Hm? Are you… Going after the one that killed Roel?”

“That’s right. The one that killed Roel… I will kill them. No doubt”

“Well, you and Roel were always close. Quite rare for Swordsman Gang members — Well, I guess Adel and Fiss were also like that though”

“Roel was… My friend. For we, joined the organization, together. So that’s why I can’t forgive.. the one that did this. I will kill Alta Scweiss, after”

“Why, why would you still go for him too? You’re really quite a troublesome one..”

“What about, you? Aren’t you going, to kill Alta Schweiss, too?”

Zenus asked.

He asked just the way it was. 

It seems like he wasn’t going to kill the man in front of him– The words “Far stronger” was something that was just bothersome to Zenas.

“Hmm, How about that. Well, the organization, The Swordsman Gang, was based on Adyl’s idea of gathering strong people, right? Well, if you can already kill four of its members on your own… I wouldn’t be able to do that though. 

And my back hurts so much lately… ayayaya”

The man said as he laid his hand on his lower back. Anyone that knew the man could tell that that was a clear lie. Zenas also didn’t engage in what he had just heard.

“Well, I’ll leave it to you. I will just take out Roel’s enemy”

“Hmmm, Is that so… Well, I didn’t come to stop you from doing what you’re doing. I’ve already had contact with the other two too — They’re right now somewhere else inside the Kingdom, doing their business”

“Ooh, and what about you?”

“Well, I’ll just go with you. We’re sort of like allies, right? That might just because of our age though”

The man said, with a smile on his face.

Zenus nodded, and they started walking together. There are only four members left of the Swordsman Gang – And their objective is killing Alta Schweiss and Ruino Tomura.
