The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 97: Carthia (3)

Again- Again-

The unusual sound of Rubia's shoes echoed through the streets of Cartier.

Again- Again- Again-

"This is something you need too."

"T-That's right...?"

"Of course. A woman's shoes are her pride?"

"I see..."

Pride...

Just as Rubia said, her pride was now 10cm higher.

But, pride is pride...

Again- Again-

"T-But... Ugh... Why is the divine power spread around your body...?"

"I need appropriate dignity."

"Rubia's divine power... sparkles, right?"

"Yes. It's so bright that it's hard to even look at."

"Wow, wow..."

2 hours ago... We passed the checkpoint and entered the city.

Passing through Cartier's checkpoint was really easy.

Just like Urspher, people made way for Rubia who suddenly appeared.

Rubia smiled with satisfaction upon seeing that, and with every step she took, she blurted out something... that seemed quite substantial.

I didn't understand what it meant...

Well... anyway.

Leaving the carriage with the checkpoint staff, Rubia headed straight to the clothing store.

Rubia entered the largest and most expensive-looking clothing store and finished her shopping with just one word.

'The most expensive clothes and shoes. I'd like 3 sets.'

So... I also changed my clothes.

I took the clothes that had become too big because I was too small to get them altered, and I got the really expensive clothes that fit my body perfectly now...

My skirt got shorter.

They said that it was magically processed, so it wouldn't blow in the wind or roll up, exposing my panties...

It's too short.

I'm so embarrassed I could cry.

Yeah... anyway... After going through that process, now.

Again- Again-

Rubia is drawing people's attention with the clear and refreshing sound of her heels.

People working, people walking down the street, even couples on dates.

Everyone falls to their knees and shouts, 'Ahh! I see you, Lady Rubia!' as soon as they see Rubia.

Fanatic... The reaction is so intense that the word fanatic comes to mind...

What on earth did you do in this city to make them react so strongly...?

And why are you praising Rubia directly and not Erden...?

"Lu, Rubia seems to be really famous in Carthia..."

"Um, I guess so?"

"Why, why...?"

Rubia, who had maintained her proud expression until now, looked at me and smiled bitterly.

"There was a big epidemic in the past, and I helped you then."

"Epidemic...?"

"Yes. Ninety percent of this city was dying of a fatal disease. I don't know how to say this, but if I hadn't been there... it would've been a big deal."

"Huh..."

But even if Rubia saved them, don't they usually praise Erden like other villages?

Is there another reason... Hmm...

While I was thinking, why is that, why is that?

The woman who had been secretly chasing us was now right next to Rubia, reaching out her hand.

Tingling - I focused all my energy on one person.

I instinctively pulled out my greatsword and hid Rubia behind me.

At the same time, the magical power that had bloomed up rippled fiercely.

Strong.

This person is definitely strong.

If you just look at their momentum, they feel similar to Kalt.

There are a lot of people around them.

If a battle breaks out here, can you fight while protecting those people?

Can you defeat this person by fighting like that?

The fiercely surging magical power is absorbed into the body.

The muscles become flexible and hard.

The blood vessels become more tough.

The blood begins to circulate faster, heating up the body.

The magical power that was dormant deep inside the body flows into the greatsword.

The fragments of Karpeng pulse.

I will win, no matter what.

“No, ah...? Why all of a sudden-”

The woman who had lowered her outstretched hand looked down at me with a surprised expression.

“Huh? Bishur-sama?”

“Yes. Hello, Rubia-sama. It’s been a while.”

What?

Do we know each other...?

“How long have you been here? You were trying to surprise me again!”

A wide smile spread across Rubia’s face.

“Haha... Yes. I tried to joke around, but I failed... This is Noah-sama.”

“Yes, that’s right. Noah, this is Bishur, the head of the Kartia Adventurer’s Guild.”

“...Yes...?”

Head of the guild...? Ah...

After hesitantly lowering the greatsword he was holding, he hung it on his waist.

He swung the magical power rippling around his body and calmed it down by hitting the Karpeng fragments with his chestnuts.

“I’m sorry, Noah. I went too far with the joke.”

While I was calming /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ down the energy that had bloomed in his body, Bishur bowed to me.

The people around him began to murmur.

“Eh...? Oh, no... uh... I, I’m sorry too-”

“No. Don’t apologize. Noah did what was expected.”

Bishur shook his head and straightened his back, a faint smile appearing on his face.

“Um... yes.”

“Then, I will formally introduce myself to you, Noah. I am Bishur, the head of the Kartia Adventurer’s Guild. It is an honor to meet you.”

Bishur extended his hand.

“Hello... I am the adventurer Shinnoah.”

He did not say the introduction he always repeated in his head.

He just introduced himself lightly and shook hands.

He is definitely strong.

Is he similar to Kart? No, maybe even stronger.

Bishur nodded with a faint smile, took his hand away, and looked at Rubia.

“The clothes suit you very well. You look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you.”

“Ahaha... I’m embarrassed... But thank you.”

Rubia still smiled brightly and shyly lowered her head.

Hmm...

“Have you eaten? If you haven’t, how about the restaurant we went to together last time?”

“Ah... it’s good, but first, let’s go to Cartier and eat.”

“Ah, Cartier. Then, would it be okay if I helped you with the directions?”

“I would really appreciate it if you could do that. But, aren’t you busy? I feel like we’re wasting your time...”

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

“Not at all. Rather, I should take the time to guide you.”

Bishur, who had been smiling faintly, answered with a bright smile.

There was no pretense in their voices.

Even the slight changes in their expressions and their gestures.

They were both speaking their hearts, not lies.

Hmm...

“Then, I’ll ask you. Hehe.”

“It’s an honor.”

Bishur bowed with dignity, took out his crystal ball, and muttered quietly.

When Lady Rubia goes to Kartia, treat her with the utmost care.

What on earth happened to make her like this...

No... To begin with, how did that guy Bishur treat her...

Uuuum...

“Shall we go, Noah?”

“...Yes.”

I gripped the handle of the greatsword tightly and followed Bishur.

Ji-ik- tak- ji-ik- tak-

The sound of the greatsword was annoying today.

“It’s still the same. It’s still the same, thank goodness.”

“I’m glad you still like it. How about Noah?”

Following Bishur’s guidance, we entered the real Kartia.

Strangely, the real Kartia was blocked by another barrier inside the city.

On the way here, and at the entrance to Kartia.

Everyone praised Rubia.

A bitter taste lingers in my mouth.

“Hmm... good...”

This and that... I feel a bit shabby.

Carthia itself is definitely good.

Rather than looking good... what should I say?

Should I say the energy of the land itself is good...?

Every time I breathe, it feels like the magic inside my body is dancing.

“That’s good.”

This time, a faint smile.

“Do you like it, Noah? Other people say it’s the same, but mine is a little different. What should I say... It feels like my divine power is being organized?”

“Ah... that’s right. It’s easier to breathe, so it’s kind of... good.”

“Hehe... It’s the same as me. Well, shall we take a look?”

Rubia quietly reached out her hand.

I squeezed her hand a little harder than usual.

“Rubia and Noah seem to be getting along well.”

“Oh, really?”

A deep smile, a clear laugh.

“Noah, it seems like we’re getting along well. Isn’t that fortunate?”

“Yes.”

Tak- Tak-

“Still, thanks to Bishur-sama guiding me, I was able to enter easily. Originally, I was going to force my way in. Well... that was fun in its own way, though.”

Ji-ik- Tak- Ji-ik- Tak-

“You’re being mean. Even if it were another city, I wouldn’t have been able to stop Lady Rubia, but I can’t do that in Cartia, so...”

Tak- Tak-

“Hehehe, but there’s a chance that something might have changed while I was away... or that the policy might have changed.”

Ka-ga-gak- Ta-dak- Ka-ga-gak- Ta-dak-

“That won’t happen. Just as Noah-sama is the hero of Urspher, Lady Rubia is the hero of Cartia. And that will surely be passed down to future generations.”

“Then... that’s good. But I’m a little embarrassed...”

Rubia stopped in her tracks.

Bishur smiled deeply at Rubia.

Bishur turned his head to me.

Again, a faint smile.

“So, I’d like to ask you, Noah.”

“...What?”

“I earnestly ask you to protect ‘our’ Rubia, the hero of Kartia.”

Ha.

Since earlier, continuously.

He’s scratching gently.

He unleashed a violent, chaotic magical power from within his body.

Even the magical power sleeping deep within his body, everything.

“The Empire, Erden. No? Even if this world itself tries to kill you.”

Hair flutters in the magical power that bursts out.

The dust around him spreads widely.

Karpen’s fragments pulse.

Vishur's expression was filled with shock.

"I'm going to save 'my' Rubia somehow. So, don't keep crossing the line."

He gripped the handle of the greatsword as if he was going to break it, and made up his mind.

Quickly, this ambiguous we need to sort things out and make our relationship more certain.

And.

Let's make a sign that anyone can see that tells us about our relationship.
