The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 138

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

I headed towards the mansion a little later than Alia.

The surrounding area was already beginning to buzz – this barrier is not just covering the area.

What is being created in the center is a “gate for summoning” …… where large-scale summoning magic is being exercised. It was nothing more than a clear act of terrorism, summoning demons throughout the town. In front of the mansion, Alia had already met up with Iris. There were several others besides them. Iris was wearing a red dress, and I was a little surprised at how different she looked from an image in my head. However, now was not the time to talk about the dress.

“Sorry, I’m a little late.”

“! Mr. Schweiss, it seems that summoning magic is being used around this area.”

“Yes, I’m aware of it……. Considering this timing, it is quite likely that they’re targeting this place.”

“I didn’t think they’d come at a time when we’d be meeting, ……. We’re in a lot of trouble.”

From the way he was dressed, I guessed that he was Cashel Ranbelk, who proposed the marriage to Iris. He walked up to me with his valet maid.

“You’re Iris’s escort ….. Alta Schweitz?”

“You know who I am. That makes it much easier. If the target is here, then either Iris, I mean, Miss Iris or Mr. Cashel, or both of you, may be targeted. I’ll tell the other knights, so you guys stay here.”

“Wait here!　Demons are about to attack the town. I can’t stand by and wait!

…… As expected, Iris said so, and Alia, who was standing next to me, also argued.

“Iris is right, it’s faster to intercept them. So, Iris, stay here.”

“Only you shouldn’t move! Mr. Schweiss, I can fight. I’ll fight with you.”

“Not at all, Miss Iris.”

It was an old man who interrupted Iris’ words. Even though he was an old man, the way he stood with his back straight and firm was worthy of being called the noble’s attendant. He should be the one who serves as a butler in Iris’s escort.

“Please stay here, Miss Iris, Mr.Cashel, and Alia. If this place is being targeted, so much the better. I am here to protect you, Miss Iris. It would be extremely dangerous to go out there and be targeted myself. Please do not commit such a folly.”

“Wellman ……, what are you talking about?”

At the words of the old man – Wellman, Iris showed a clear expression of anger. Wellman saw this and looked a little surprised.

“Your role is to protect me – that may be true. But I can’t just sit here and be protected.”

“Please consider your position. You are also the successor of house Reinfell.”

“I’m thinking deeply and saying. I’m a daughter of the four great noble households ……, house Reinfell. Why do you think we can stay as nobles? We have fought for this country, including house Reinfell, and that’s why we are where we are today. After we become recognized by everyone as nobles, will we only be protected?　Do you really think that’s acceptable?　I’m going to fulfill my role as a noble. It’s not us who are in danger now, it’s those who have no way to fight back. So your role is not to protect me, but to fight alongside me.”

Iris declared clearly. Wellman took a step back with a surprised expression on his face at her unhesitating words. I was also a little surprised by Iris’s swordsmanship, however, I suppose that’s just like her. With a sigh, I smiled a little.

“I understand how you feel, Iris. Then I’ll trust you.”

“! Mr. Schweiss……”

“Mr. Schweiss, me too.”

“Yes, it is possible that this place is being targeted at the moment, but more than that, as long as they are demons, the people there are in danger. So we have to find a way to destroy the barrier while beating the demons.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“I know how to destroy the barrier.”

“!”

The one who entered the conversation was Cashel. He seemed to have heard what we were saying and continued to speak as he stood beside Iris.

“I’m one of the four great noble households as well. I’ll help you get out of this situation.”

“Thank you very much. So, how do you destroy the barrier?”

“A large-scale barrier like this will not collapse if only a portion of it is destroyed. There must be dozens of people creating this barrier.”

“A dozens of people?”

When I heard that, I remembered what Remyl had told me about the ” the Magic Cult ” – ” Bulfaus”. I also heard that they were based in this area. I wonder if that organization has moved to target the two of us.

“I’m sure there are mages and those who control them gathered at the base of the barrier, on each of the four sides. You can’t destroy it immediately once the barrier is activated. In order to break the barrier itself, you need to defeat the mages on all four sides.”

“I see.”

If there are four of them, that’s quite a distance. I could certainly destroy one of them, but if they were in a group, they could be a considerable force. –As if they understood my thoughts, Iris and Alia stepped forward.

I’ll take charge of one.

“Me too.”

“Miss Iris–“

‘Wellman, I trust you. So use your power to protect your people. That’s my order.”

When Iris told him this, he frowned in silence. However, eventually, he let out a small sigh and said as follows.

“…… You look a lot like your father, Miss Iris.”

“Yes, because I am a daughter of my father.”

“You’re right. I will obey your orders and use my power to ensure that no one is harmed.”

“! Thank you, Wellman.”

When Iris expressed her gratitude, Wellman smiled. Then, Wellman came up to me. I could see a bit of hostility in his expression.

“Alta Schweitz, I don’t approve of you. But I will move for the sake of Miss Iris here. You will do your part as a knight.”

“Yes, I understand very well.”

We exchanged such a few words. He might be blaming me for allowing Iris to act alone. While he is happy that Iris is growing up, he should have mixed feelings about it. Maybe I shouldn’t have entrusted important war situations to children like Iris and Alia. However, as far as I know, they are more dependable than ordinary knights. In order to get out of this situation quickly, it would be desirable to attack all four locations at the same time.

“If that’s the case, there’s only one place left.”

“Is it my turn, First Class Officer, Alta Schweitz?”

“！Knights Captain, Stilletto. What are your orders to the knights?”

“I’ve got a lot of competent subordinates. I’ve already moved them to protect civilians. As far as the situation is concerned, we need another person to attack one more place.”

“If you’re willing to go, that would be great. Now we can go in four directions …… and get some knights to help us form a small unit.”

“Then I am free …… Well, I’m going to be working with you then. Alta Schweitz”

“!　Mr. Cashel …… That’s fine, but if you move, you’ll be in danger.”

“I’ve told you that I’m moving as a noble. Stay here. I will show you the power of house Ranbelk, a mage household”

Cashel instructed the maid who was waiting.

–With this, the strategy was decided, albeit impromptu. The two forces had teamed up to break the large-scale barrier that had suddenly appeared.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
