The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 113: Master (2)
“Would you like to talk to me?”
Sirin, who put down her coffee cup, opened her eyes and looked straight ahead.
[...What is it?]
Kartia stood there blankly, with a bewildered expression.
“I have something to tell you, so I prepared a seat. Please understand if it’s a little sudden.”
Sirin, who had a calm voice instead of her usual light tone, smiled mysteriously at Kartia.
[Noah, are you okay?]
“Are you worried that Rubia might do something to Noah?”
[No, that’s not it... Um, I’m worried. I’m more worried about that weird bastard. He listens well, but I feel uneasy about something.]
Kartia let out a small sigh, and after her body completely took shape, she sat down on the sofa.
“The Hand of the End.”
[Yeah, that’s it. The name is really grand.]
“The red wolf’s name is Karpeng.”
[I don’t know about the red one, but I know the name.]
Seeing her answer easily, Sirin looked at Kartia’s face for a long time before pouring her coffee cup.
“Kartia. How much of your memories from the time you lived remain?”
[No, even the dragon’s neck... or the time you killed it... um, the time you subdued it.]
Kartia opened her mouth lightly as usual, but she slowly chose her words after thinking about the fact that the opponent in front of her was a dragon.
Still, it would have been a close relative, so if I said I cut off its neck, it would have hurt their feelings.
Maybe they were family.
However, Sirin nodded as if she didn’t care much and accepted the words.
“Are your memories from that time complete? Are all the times you led tens of thousands of troops and won by cutting off the dragon’s necks complete memories? Then what about the memories after the war? What happened to the world after the war?”
[Of course-]
In an instant, Kartia crumpled her face.
[An army of tens of thousands... Dragon, victory... End of the war.]
As she chewed on Shirin's words, she began to recall memories from the past that she had not brought up for 1000 years.
[My image was victory. Based on that, I slowly paid the price and headed toward the dragon. When I arrived at the Central Continent like that. Human... Army. Dragon. What on earth did I, who couldn't reach the sky, do?]
She raised her head and looked at Shirin, who had her eyes closed.
[What on earth do you know?]
“The price of victory you gave.”
[...What?]
“The content of the victory you wished for.”
[Hey, wait... How could you know that-]
In an instant.
Tsk-!
A huge shock was felt that shook Shirin's barrier.
“Tsk, you won't leave me alone for even a moment. Let's talk about this later. Well... I hope you don't even think about going into that room. They'll have a lot to talk about."
[Damn... Well. Where's Ser? He's probably watching me make an artifact.]
Kwaang-!
"You'll find him if you go into that inner room."
Sirin pointed to the room at the far end and immediately turned around and headed outside the barrier.
Kartia watched her until the end.
[A pact with the general to drive the dragon to the ground.]
She sat still on the sofa and muttered quietly.
[Red hair... wolf ears, tail... a woman crazy about fighting...]

Clang-
As soon as the handcuffs Rubia brought were put on her wrists, her strength suddenly drained away.
To the point where she dropped the greatsword she was holding.
In addition... Frey, who looked like a bracelet for some reason, also slipped out. Thanks to that, I couldn't hear Kartia's voice either...
"Ugh... Lu, Luvia. My body feels weird..."
"I'm sorry. Noah."
While I was struggling, Luvia stroked my cheek and immediately apologized.
Is she apologizing for... being alone with Ser last time?
Or, is she apologizing for putting handcuffs on my wrists right now...?
No, Sertia and Luvia were doing this together in the first place... Is there anything to apologize for?
It was for treatment purposes... I didn't think much of it.
And Luvia said she only liked me, me... me...
Hmm... So, are you sorry about the handcuffs?
Yeah. That's right. I should be sorry. These are really suspicious handcuffs.
Suddenly, my body loses all its strength, and my connection with Kartia is cut off.
And... The handcuffs are so fluffy and soft... Wow, they're really suspicious.
I have to tell him to release me quickly... Even if I can't see his face, I want to see his expression.
"Ah, I understand, so first, let me release this-"
"I can't help it either."
"...What is it?"
"I don't want to see... Noah getting hurt anymore."
...Huh.
Rubia is a little, a little strange...
"Hey, Rubia...?"
"I'm sorry, Noah. I didn't know... that Noah had such a hard time. I didn't know that... Sob... Sob, in a warm ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) room..."
Thud- Warm water droplets fell on his handcuffed wrists.
"Uh... Lu, Rubia are you crying?"
"Ah, no... squelch... squelch- sob..."
"Uh, um..."
Crunch-
I put my hand on Rubia's face to wipe away her tears... but where are her eyes?
Clink- Clink-
Going up the tear duct that runs from my chin...
“Okay, thud...!”
While I was dabbing away the tears so that my skin wouldn’t get chapped, Rubia grabbed my hand.
“I saw it all.”
“What...?”
“Ugh... the scenes of Noah training with Sirin.”
Rubia finally calmed down a little, took a deep breath, and began to speak clearly.
“...I saw the, uh, uh... the whole scene of him dying...”
And then she cried again.
“Huh...? How did you see it?”
Were there CCTVs?
No...that couldn’t be.
Then how did you see it? It’s been over a week already...
“Sirin... with your magic. You showed me the memories from back then.”
“Wow... that’s possible with magic.”
Is it possible because it's Shirin?
Or do other wizards know how to do it too...
Oh... Then doesn't that mean I can watch all the dramas and movies I watched on Earth again?
Oh my... I have to ask Shirin later.
No, can't I ask?
Hmm... Shirin knows that I'm not from this world, so it doesn't matter, right?
If I could, what drama would she ask me to bring up?
Would Rubia like it if I showed it to her?
What should I say if she asks what it is?
No, wait.
I can't see it anyway...
Ah... I got excited for nothing.
As I realized that all the happy imaginations that came to mind were just a pipe dream, I let out a small sigh, and Rubia hugged me tightly.
"It was... so hard."
"Oh, no...? I should have..."
"Don't lie... I saw you shedding tears."
“Oh, I didn’t cry.”
...Actually, I shed a little.
Kartia kept teasing me for sneezing...
The shame made me want to cry so much, so I let her cry once.
But I really didn’t sneeze. I was fighting with my mouth open and drooling.
Who would do that at this age? Oh, it’s so ridiculous.
The next time I see Kartia, I’m going to hit her hard in the chest.
By the way.
What on earth does this conversation have to do with handcuffs?
How did we end up talking about handcuffs like this... Hmm.
Since Rubia seems to be calming down a little... I should say it again.
“Uh... First of all, Rubia. Can you, can you take off these handcuffs...? This is really weird. My body is all weak... and it's hard to even lift the greatsword..."
I pushed Rubia, who was holding me, away and shook the handcuffs with a rattle- rattle- rattle.
"That won't do."
Then I heard an incredibly firm answer.
"Uh... why?"
"It's not dangerous. It's just... a special handcuff made by adding a little bit of my divine power, a little bit of Noah's blood, a little bit of Sirin's magic, a little bit of Kartia's power, and a little bit of Ser's spirit magic. It's a one-of-a-kind handcuff that you can't find anywhere else in the world. Noah's handcuffs."

"...What, what did you say?"
"Since I don't feel any strength loss, it seems to be effective. They also look sturdy."
No... no no.
Didn't you just say you put my blood in them?
And what? Didn't all the abilities of the people here go into them?
“Soo, why did you put so much effort into handcuffs...?”
“That’s enough to tie Noah up without using any strength.”
“...Why are you tying me up...?”
“It’s dangerous. I don’t want Noah to get hurt.”
“Isn’t the fight over...?”
I’ve definitely confirmed that the archer has run far away.
The great sword is definitely dead.
Rubia sighed and grabbed my hand tightly.
“Didn’t you feel my divine power in the bodies of the humans Noah met?”
“...How did you know? Did you meet Rubia too?”
“What will Noah do if those kinds of people show up again?”
“I’ll kill them.”
A cold voice flowed out without me knowing.
“Even if I told you not to go?”
“They’re beings who insult Rubia. Rubia’s divine power... shouldn’t be used in places like that.”
But unlike my cold voice, Rubia spoke in a warm voice.
“I thought so. That’s why I prepared this artifact.”
“What is that-”
In that moment.
Tsk-!
A huge impact sound was heard, as if it would break the barrier of Shirin.

“Huh? Rubia... This, this...”
“I don’t want to be separated from Noah anymore. Even if there is a situation where we have to be separated. Where Noah is, what he is doing, if he is hurt, if he is sleeping well, eating regularly, what he is thinking. I want to know everything, everything.”
“Huh? No, now is the time to say that... Isn’t something happening outside?”
“So, Noah is here.”
The limp arm hung in the air.
“Okay, wait...”
“I’ll go.”
“No, Rubia...!”
Crack- crack-
The sound of footsteps on the wooden floor gradually began to get farther away.
No, that won’t do.
It’s much better for me to go than for Rubia to go...
Should I reassure her?
How? What should I do?
Ugh...Tie her feet with the gift I promised to show her?
Hey, I don’t know!
“Rubia!”
Thump-
Wow, do you know how to speak so loudly?
No, that’s not the point.
“B-there’s a way.”
“A way?”
“Uh... a way to know each other even when we’re far apart. And... a way to prove that we’re special.”
Kkwaang-!
A bigger shock shook the room.
I don't know how many people are out there or what's going on.
But since Shirin and Ser are here...
It'll be okay for a while.
Before Rubia got any further away, I searched the floor hard and found the necklace I asked Ser to give me.
"Hey, look at this. Rubia."
"...A necklace?"
"Want to come closer...? You can't see it from far away."
Kwoong-
"Ugh... Hurry up."
Crack- crack-
The footsteps gradually got closer.
I smiled as best I could and held out the necklace to Rubia.
"C, Do you see this?"
"My, name... is written on it?"
"Yes...! This is... my... pet dog from where I used to live... Ahem. I'm giving it to my precious family..."
"A, family...? No, this is a pet-”
“Anyway! I’m going to wear it around my neck... like this... this is it? If I put Rubia’s divine power in here... Rubia and I will be connected. Ha, do you want to try it?”
“Family... family, family, precious family...”
“Ouch... hurry...!”
Rubia muttered blankly for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the necklace at my urging.
After confirming that the warm air was seeping in.
“Okay... now put it around my neck. I... can’t see, so it’s hard...”
I put the necklace in Rubia’s hand and lifted her hair with my free hand.
“Huh... huff... huh... I, I understand.”
Rubia let out an incredibly heavy breath and snapped the necklace around my neck with her trembling hands.
“Okay... now, do you want to think about me?”
Rubia swallowed hard at the same time. I felt a warm breath on my neck.
Okay? Okay?
“Tch! Hehe... Uh, how is it? Can’t you see something like a string...? This is it, you can only see Rubia... If you follow that, I’m here...! And, if you inject divine power into that string, my position, state... and even emotions-”
Cheolgeureuk-
At the same time as I felt a ticklish sensation on my butt.
“Whoo-?!”
Rubia’s tongue entangled violently inside my mouth.
“Pooha-! Shh... Lu, Rubia!”
With one arm tied up, and my body feeling weak, I.
“Heh... Keuhk, grab the necklace... Don’t pull it...! My breath, is suffocating... Wait, Hah...!”
All I could do was accept Rubia’s rough touch.
