The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 100: Carthia (6)

“So you’re... Kartia Frey?”

[I told you, how many times did you have to say that.]

“That’s ridiculous...”

[To begin with, it doesn’t make sense for someone like me to lose their memories and become a virgin ghost, what.]

“That’s... right.”

Rubia, who hugged me tightly like a doll, drooled.

“But the Kartia Frey I saw in the book was a man... No matter how I look at Kartia now...”

[Back then, if a woman used a sword, she would be ignored. So I had no choice but to disguise myself as a man. My breasts were so small that it wasn’t uncomfortable.]

Kartia snickered and rubbed her chest.

Every time she did that, a hazy smoke would come out.

“Um... I see.”

Rubia, who was mumbling for a moment and choosing her words, asked Kartia very carefully.

“But... why did you make such a horrible sound...? It really sounds like a demon...”

[Oh, that?]

Kartia giggled and came close to Rubia.

[I told you that you’re absolutely not afraid of ghosts, so I tried to play a prank on you. Hehehe... But you didn’t cry or make a fuss? That brat was the surprise. He swung his sword at me... Tsk. My butt still hurts.]

“Tsk, I’m, sorry... I’m sorry.”

“Um... Your personality is very different from what the world knows.”

[Hey, you’re saying that too? I don’t know how my story is written, but I’m not the holy and noble person you think I am. Rather, I was a loser and a loser. I was a mercenary.]

“Huh? A mercenary? Not a knight?”

[Ah. When I was trying to feed my younger siblings, I found out that being a mercenary would bring in a lot of money. That’s why I became a mercenary. After that, I killed demons because they offered me money, and I killed demons because they offered me more, and I killed dragons because they offered me a kingdom... Well, it’s all in the past anyway, so what’s the point of talking about it? Anyway, this is my personality. I want to see the face of the guy who wrote that book.]

“Uh... um... I see.”

[Yeah. I wasn’t a righteous, holy, or anything like that, I was just like you, so don’t have any weird fantasies. If I had more money, I would’ve seduced a handsome guy and had sex with him every day. Anyway...]

Kartia’s face turned to me.

[What on earth are you?]

“Yes, yes...?”

[You can’t see, right?]

“Uh... That, that’s right.”

Kartia, who had been tilting her head while looking at me for a while, frowned and opened her mouth.

[Age?]

“W-yes.”

[Damn... How can you feel a sense of aggression when you don’t even look 15? Is that how it is in this day and age? I could barely feel it when I was 18.]

Kartia, who had suddenly risen up, came up next [N O V E L I G H T] to me and began to secretly compare our heights.

“15 years old...?! I, I’m 20 years old? I, I’m an adult...!”

[20 years old? Huh, you look 40cm shorter than me. Didn’t you eat when you were young?]

“...Oh, no.”

[Then, a dwarf?]

“Phew-!”

“Ru, even Rubia... Ik... You’re not a dwarf!”

[Well, you’re not a dwarf.]

Kartia nodded quietly and returned to her seat.

[Dwarf women have thick hair, but you don't have any hair below your eyebrows.]

"What... what, what... what... what what... what did you say...?"

My face crumpled, and Rubia frowned.

"How did Kartia know that?"

"...W-what are you talking about, Rubia...? That's not important right now...?"

[Wow, I just asked because I thought it might be. I guess it really isn't. That would be nice, I don't need to shave.]

"What about, what about shaving! Stop... Stop it. Lu, Luvia went too far... Why did you say that there... Ugh..."

"Ahem... I'm sorry.. I thought you might see my naked body..."

Kartia giggled and lay down, using the air as her bed.

[But, the more I think about it, the more I find it strange. Did you say Noah?]

“Yes, yes...”

[A person who uses a level of energy that would melt the brain of an ordinary person all the time, and a greatsword that doesn’t match his size. And something that can directly harm me... Huh? Ahem?]

Cartia cut off his words and looked at me and Rubia alternately, and rubbed his chin.

[Aha... That’s how it happened.]

What?

What happened?

Why are you understanding it by yourself?!

[This is, quite... Hmm. That’s why that guy back then... Ssup... It’s difficult.]

No... What’s with that tone.

Why are you so frustrated!

And why is Rubia nodding her head as if she knew that would happen?

What... What is it.

Are you bullying me?

“Ru, Rubia... Do you know what Rubia is talking about...? I, I shouldn’t tell you...?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Anyway, I'll tell you again, 'You shouldn't know yet' or 'You'll find out soon' and hold you back from saying anything."

"Yes, yes...?"

[Ahahaha! That's right. That was right. You'll find out soon. It's too early now. Hmm, but I guess the priestess tried to find out?]

"It's so annoying. I'm not even mad anymore."

Rubia let out a sigh as if she was disappointed and bowed.

"Then, I'll formally introduce you. I'm Rubia, known as the priestess of this generation. It's an honor to meet the previous savior."

[Hmm, yes, yes. It was a dignified greeting that made it hard to believe that she was the one who had been crying and making a fuss just now.]

"Tch... That, that..."

[Hehehe! I did make it scary on purpose, but... Well. Yes. I'm sorry for doing that. Okay, then...]

Cartia nodded as if satisfied and looked at me.

“Eh... uh...”

After looking around for a moment, she suddenly bowed.

“Ah, hello. I’m, uh... adventurer Shinnoah... uh, um... uh, it’s an honor.”

[Phehe... Keuheuheuheuk... Ahem, ahem. Okay. It’s a bit awkward, but... I should say hello too.]

Cartia, who had been floating around in a crooked posture, came down to the ground and put both hands together in front of her chest.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

All of her playful expressions up until now disappeared, and she put on a solemn expression.

[I am the warrior and hero representing the Age of Chaos that you all know.]

It’s not a clasped hand.

But it’s not a prayer hand either.

It’s like holding a sword with both hands-

[The First Savior.]

In an instant.

An indescribable power began to gather in her hands.

The strange energy that spread throughout Kartia pulsed.

The scenery drawn with the sense of feeling was mixed up.

The fragments of Karpeng curled up and held their breath.

The magic that had been sleeping deep inside the body woke up and raised the body.

A sharp power that seemed to tear the sky down struck down.

A heavy power that seemed to destroy the earth soared.

A power that seemed to cut through space and tear down time.

An unknown energy.

All gathered in her hand and took the shape of a greatsword.

[My name is Kartia Frey. Nice to meet you, descendants.]

The sword that appeared in her hand was crude.

A sword without any decorations, made only for battle.

However, the energy it contained...was not ordinary.

I feel sorry for Hephaestus, but...

My greatsword made from Karpeng's material could be treated as trash.

“Right now, the sword that Kartia is holding... is the legendary sword.”

[Ah, yes. You must know that.]

“I heard it was hidden, but this is... what should I say.”

While Rubia was slowly choosing her words, Kartia, who was laughing, spoke first.

[It’s not hidden, it’s spread all over Kartia. I don’t know who the crazy guy is, but he’s been spreading stupid rumors. Isn’t that right?]

“Hmm... that’s right.”

Kartia, who was swinging the sword around as if it had been a long time since he last held it, looked at me with a small smile.

[Why, do you want it?]

“Yes, yes...? No... uh...”

I want it, but... more than that.

It’s familiar.

It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen a sword like this.

I’ve never seen it in a game, in reality, or in my dreams.

It’s familiar.

Why...?

[Want to swing it once?]

“T-That’s okay...?”

[Yeah, it doesn’t matter. As long as I can hold it.]

Cartia giggled and slowly approached us.

[You guys felt it too, right? What kind of things is this sword made of?]

“What I felt... was all Kartia-sama’s magic power... huh?”

[Magic power? Hmm... Well, I guess you could feel it like that. But this isn’t magic power.]

Cartia, who had come so close to us, stuck her greatsword into the ground.

At the same time, the energy covering Kartia began to shake.

[It’s not like it’s the divine power you use. It’s my power. My power that transcends humans and breaks the rules.]

“Power...?”

[Well... I could explain it to you. You’re going to the Temple of Memories anyway, right? If you go through the ordeal there and overcome it without a hitch, you will gradually realize it.]

Temple of Memory?

Temple of Memory?

...What on earth are you talking about...?

"Lu, Luvia... What is the Temple of Memory and what is the ordeal...?"

The only ordeal I know of is Erden's ordeal where you gain unique abilities...

"Ah... um, this will probably take quite some time, so I'll explain it later. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance, Noah."

"Um... I understand..."

[Well, anyway, that's it. So you guys who don't match my level can't catch this.]

Cartia stepped back slightly and looked at me.

[But try it once. You don't know until you experience it yourself.]

"Um, um... Ah, I understand."

I slowly walked toward the sword, catching my breath.

Little by little.

The closer I got.

The magic power of the sword sways.

It twists, seeps in, and spews out at will.

After arriving in front of the sword like that.

I stretched out my hand.

The magic power that flowed out at will envelops my hand.

The magic power that was writhing deep inside my body finally burst out and spread throughout the Kartia area.

An unknown energy.

The foundation of my existence.

It wrapped around my entire body.

It melted into the earth.

It echoed in the sky.

As the magic power led.

As my instincts told me.

Following the voice in my head.

The sword.

[What the hell.]

I grabbed it.
