"Keep your sword. You need to protect yourself, of course, but there are times when you need to use force to protect those you love."
Yes. I will devote myself to it.
"--But it is also true that there are many things in life that cannot be solved by swords alone. Please do not forget that.
"Yes."
He looked satisfied when he saw Liese nodding sincerely at the words of the sword saint.
"Then that's good. I'm sorry for being so preachy when you came to congratulate me. Enough meddling, and finally, Samuel Scheidt."
"Yes."
"Lise is not only a precious pupil of mine, but she is also my daughter. Please make her happy."
"I will spend my life to make you happy."
Lise's eyes welled up and Kurando nodded with a deep smile.
You are a good and honest girl. Lise will be happy. When do you plan to make the official announcement?
Sam and Lise looked at each other in response to Kensei's question.
"We are planning to do it after Sam comes of age--around the fall.
"I'm looking forward to it. By the way, I heard from His Majesty that you are also engaged to Lady Stella.
"Oh, that's, uh, that's, uh..."
Sam looked uncomfortable.
It was a little uncomfortable to tell him that I was engaged to another person when I had come to report my engagement to the swordsmith whom I had said I thought of as my daughter.
Even if it wasn't, Sam's forehead was sweating uncomfortably since he had brought his blind date, Hualien, to this meeting.
"No, I'm not accusing you. No, I'm not accusing you. You have more than one fiancée, that's not a problem. His Majesty has told me how the engagement came about. Since Stella-sama has been through a lot, please make her and Lise happy."
"I will try."
That was all Sam could say.
His relationship with Stella, whom he had only known for a short time, was not a deep one.
I still don't know why Stella agreed to marry me, and I still don't know her true intentions.
But we have just started exchanging letters to get to know each other first.
Fortunately, there is still time before she comes of age.
By then, I would like to get closer to Stella and find out if she really thinks I am the right person for her.
Sam would like to know her and would like her to know him.
Not that he wants to start with a friend, but he wants to take some time.
"I heard that you and Hualian had a blind date the other day. Would you like to have a blind date with Mizuki, too?
"Oh, no, please."
"Hey! Sam! That's no way to talk to Mizuki!"
"Ha-ha-ha. I don't mind. But father... You make fun of Samuel a little too much.
"Oops, my bad. I was just making a friendly joke to help you relax."
(Because it's not funny at all!)
It's not that I don't like Mizuki or anything, but I don't want any more matchmaking.
As a nobleman, as a court wizard, you might say, but for Sam, who still has the sensibilities of a former Japanese, it is hard to keep up with the developments.
I would like to grow in love with Lise and gradually become accustomed to the customs of this world.
"You're a real father. ...... Oh, by the way, Father. Samuel, I heard that you have been to the land of the rising sun.
"Oh. How did you manage to get to that faraway island country?
Perhaps noticing Sam's troubled look, Mizuki changed the subject.
Thanks to this, Kurando's interest seemed to have shifted to the Land of the Rising Sun.
This is probably because he is from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Sam gave Mizuki a small bow, and she smiled and nodded.
"It must have been difficult for you since it was a closed country."
"Yes, but everyone was very nice to me in the end."
"What brings you to the Land of the Rising Sun? To learn swordsmanship?"
"I went there to learn fire magic."
Kurarayakko understood.
"In the Land of the Rising Sun, swordsmanship and fire magic thrive. It was a good learning experience, wasn't it?
"I have learned a great deal."
I spent my days learning magic and learning the horror of the swordsmen of the Land of the Rising Sun.
The Land of the Rising Sun was, as Kurando said, a closed country.
It was not that they were not interested in Sam and Ur, who were from another country, but they did not want to get involved.
However, Ur showed his natural pace, and we deepened our relationship with the local people and found ourselves becoming friends, learning magic, fighting, and laughing with each other.
Memories that I still cannot forget are vividly etched in my mind.
"If you would like, could you tell Mizuki and my other daughter, Kotomi, a story about the Land of the Rising Sun? They both want to visit my hometown, but they never get the chance. I can't leave the country easily because of my position, and I'm worried about sending my daughter there alone - haha, laugh at my foolishness.
"It's a long trip from the Kingdom of Skye. I understand your concern."
It is a long way to travel east across the continent and across to the sea.
The culture and even the monsters in the land of the rising sun are all things that cannot be found on the continent.
In Japanese knowledge, yokai (monsters) exist and roam around with impunity, and that alone makes it a terrifying country.
Even if she excelled in swordsmanship, it would be a parental concern for their daughter to go to such a country alone.
"Um, Kurarayana-sama. How is Kotomi-sama?"
(-Oh, by the way, you said you were frail, didn't you?)
Liese asked me in a concerned voice, and I remembered Kurando's words earlier.
He also said that he was being looked after by Magnolia, so it was understandable that Liese, who must have known him, would be concerned.
"Thank you for your concern for Kotomi. These days I am not as weak as before, thanks to my growing body. Sometimes she is so energetic that she even does some swinging in the dojo."
"I'm glad to see that you're feeling better - thank goodness."
Relief comes to Liese.
I could see that she was worried about the other daughter of the swordsmith who was not here.
"Kotomi adored Lise, and I'd like you to meet her later if you like."
"I would be happy to meet with you."
"--Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Samuel. You don't know this, but my second daughter, Kotomi, is frail. Well, maybe that's not quite the right way to put it.
"What do you mean?"
At Sam's question, Mizuki and Liese's faces clouded over and Kurando replied a little sadly.
"Kotomi is only twelve years old, but her magical power is very large. It seems that her body cannot keep up with her magical power.
"That's common among children with a lot of magic."
"Yes, that's right. I am relieved that he is not ill, but it is still very difficult for a parent to have a child of his age spend his days sleeping on the bed, unable to play.
I'm sorry for your loss.
"Thank you. But as I said before, I am relieved to see that your body has grown and you are more energetic than before. I have also been taught how to use magic by Mokuren-dono, so the burden on my body seems to have decreased.
Sam was well aware of the constitution of Kotomi, the second daughter of a sword saint.
It is often seen in children with a large amount of magic power.
There is no solution, but to wait for the body to adjust to the magic power as it grows.
Fortunately, it is not a life-threatening disease, and only appears in childhood.
Sam has never experienced it, but it is said that it sometimes causes physical pain and fever.
This is a rare occurrence in this world, where few people have a lot of magical power to begin with.
However, it is said that those who show these symptoms are, without exception, full of magical talents.
"Kotomi has a talent with a sword, but according to Lady Magnolia, she also has a talent with magic.
"You may laugh at me for being a family man, but Mizuki is right, Kotomi has talents in swordsmanship and magic. And with the amount of magic power she carries in her body,......, she is truly a child whose future is very exciting."
Kurarayan's smiling face with Mizuki made me feel that Kotomi is loved very much by her family.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
