The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 55: Karahan (1)

The entrance to the Karahan Mountains was more neatly made than I thought.

I should say it felt like a walking trail.

On both sides of the road leading to the entrance.

There were restaurants that smelled delicious, and small shops selling equipment and supplies.

It was similar to the scenery I saw in the game.

I thought they made it like that just for convenience...

It's actually like this, so it's kind of strange...

And on the road leading to the entrance that we were walking on.

There were a lot of adventurers heading to Karahan with high spirits.

It seemed like they were accepting various requests, and from what I heard, the reward seemed pretty good.

Their equipment looked pretty good, too.

And their skills... Their skills seemed so-so.

Am I being too picky?

On the other hand, there were also adventurers heading to Ursphere exhausted after leaving the mountain range.

But there was a smile on their lips.

And the most important thing.

There are a lot of adventurers wielding greatswords!

Is it because it’s a city?

Among the adventurers I saw in Roholan, there were no greatsword wielders, but there are a lot here.

“Oh, sis... Is this how it’s supposed to be?”

“It’s like a tourist attraction?”

Hephaestus looked embarrassed, and Rubia smiled faintly.

“Hmm... It’s so peaceful...”

“I guess that’s how it is. 90% of the adventurers in the city come to Karahan. The residents also think of it as a way to make a living. Of course, if you go halfway up, you won’t even see this kind of sight.”

Rubia tilted her head around and soon turned to me.

“Noah, do you want to buy some snacks?”

“Snacks...?”

“Yes, snacks to eat while passing the entrance.”

Rubia pointed to the right.

There were candied fruits and jellies for sale there.

If it were normal, I would have nodded right away.

“Hmm...”

I caressed the fragment of Karpeng embedded in the greatsword.

There are some things I want to try out quickly, but.

It’s hard to predict how it will be maintained and what the aftereffects will be.

In the game, it was just applied as a status abnormality, so I thought so.

Now that it’s reality, I wonder what will happen...

Jelly... I want to eat it, though.

“Ah, I don’t want to eat it.”

Hephaestus’s mouth fell open.

And Rubia quickly approached me with an incredibly serious expression.

“Noah.”

“...Yes...?”

Rubia’s hand rested on my forehead.

The warm air that flowed into my head swept through my entire body.

“There’s nothing wrong with your body... but are you worried?”

“Worried...?”

What are you talking about?

“Noah, unnie... are you in a lot of pain?”

“Oh, no...?”

Hephaestus wrapped his hands around mine.

“I’m fine... Should I rest a little longer until you feel better?”

“Huh...? What are you talking about...?”

Rubia and Hephaestus’ expressions were filled with worry.

“Noah... Tyrant is sealed. It’s been over 30 years since that happened. So... Don’t worry too much.”

“Worry, don’t worry... um...”

You can’t completely stop worrying.

Even if the seal is certain, you’re not dead.

Actually... the seal was released in the game.

And.

Rubia... seemed somewhat worried.

“Ah, anyway... It’s not like that... I don’t need jelly.”

She turned her head around.

“Hurry... Let’s go. Before the sun sets... We have to get to the middle...”

She grabbed Rubia and Hephaestus’ hands and dragged them along.

There was a little resistance, but I put in a little more force, and it was dragged along.

“Noah...?”

“That, and... I made up my mind to come here...? So... I won’t eat jelly for a while.”

Upon hearing what I said, Rubia let out a small sigh and followed along obediently.

And Hephaestus rummaged in his pockets and muttered to himself.

“I bought it this morning... I guess I’ll have to throw it away.”

Hmm.

If I already bought it, it’s a shame to throw it away.

I can’t help it.

It’s a waste of money.

I’ll just eat one.

Hmm, two... no.

I’ll just eat three.

*****

A slightly cooler breeze blew past my body.

Unlike the bustling entrance, the atmosphere was serious.

The adventurers who laughed frivolously had already moved away, and only those who silently climbed up remained.

We were also mixed in with that group.

“We’ll be halfway there soon.”

“Whew... That’s right.”

I heard Hephaestus’s voice, which seemed a little tired.

“It’s getting dark soon... I think it’d be better to camp here as planned.”

I nodded to Rubia’s words.

I... don’t mind being active at night, but Rubia and Hephaestus aren’t.

“Anyway, how was it, Noah?”

Hephaestus looked at the greatsword and said.

“Ah... Yeah. It’s definitely... much better than the one I gave you before...”

On the way up, I checked the greatsword’s performance and lightly stretched out my body, and hunted a few of the demons that were alone.

When I swung it in real combat, ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) I could feel that it had improved a lot compared to before.

It felt sharper and stronger?

But uh... um...

Honestly, I didn't feel it was sharp enough.

Rather than cutting down the demon with the greatsword, I felt more like I was hitting it...

Just... um...

"It's sturdy...!"

"Compliments... right?"

"Of course..."

"Then, what else has changed?"

What's changed...? Uh... um... What is there? Hmm...

"Ah...! The coating seems to be well done... The blood is dripping off well...?"

"Huh? I didn't do anything special for that?"

"Huh...?"

No...

Unlike before... It feels like the blood isn't dripping on the greatsword as much.

"I'm just making this up because I have nothing to compliment!"

"Oh, no... I really... really like it."

Hephaestus looks at me with a strange expression.

"I made the area of ​​the blade wider. When I see my sister fight, it seems like she's more likely to dodge and slash than to dodge."

"Ah... That, really?"

After hearing Hephaestus' words, I looked closely at the greatsword.

"That's why I tightened the cross guard more firmly. Unless you block something ridiculous like an avalanche... with the greatsword, it'll almost never fall off."

Hmm...

Hmm...

"I see..."

I don't know!

"...Yeah. I knew that would happen... but it's a little disappointing..."

Hephaestus let out a deep sigh.

I feel sorry for no reason... Hmm...

Just as I was about to hand over a few leftover jellies from my pocket.

"Oh, right, Noah. You didn't use the fragments, did you?"

Rubia said as if something had occurred to her.

"Oh, yeah... unfortunately..."

There was no situation where she could use the fragments.

Of course, it didn’t matter if I used it.

There are only demons that can be killed easily anyway, so there’s no need to kill them while taking unnecessary penalties.

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

“It’s not a pity. I’ve been telling you all along. Something... feels familiar, but also uneasy. Of course, the other fragments also have a strange aura... but Karpeng’s fragment feels different.”

“Hmm...”

He caressed the Karpeng fragment embedded in his greatsword.

I don’t know if it’s uneasy...

but I just can’t help but laugh. Hehe...

“Still... I guess it’s okay to use it when I have to... but I’m worried that there might be aftereffects after using it.”

“H-it’s okay. Rubia... will do something about it, right...?”

He looked up at Rubia and smiled faintly.

If it’s the ‘thirst’ I remember, Rubia can do something about that penalty.

Even if it goes badly wrong, you won’t die!

“Ugh... That’s right.”

Rubia also reluctantly smiled.

“I believe it...”

I gripped Rubia’s trembling hand tightly.

“Haa... Yes. I believe it too. But don’t overdo it.”

Rubia also grabbed my hand.

A warm feeling enveloped my body.

The chill was pushed away, and warmth came rushing in.

I tilted my head wondering what it was.

“My hand is cold.”

Rubia smiled again... and said with a ticklish smile.

“Ah, uh... thank you...”

Why... why do I feel embarrassed just looking at that expression?

It’s strange...

“Should we camp near here? Or should we go up a little further?”

Whether I was embarrassed or not, Rubia continued talking naturally.

“I like anywhere.”

“Me, me too...”

“Then, let’s go around here. But better than here...”

Rubia looked around and said.

“That would be good. Do you see that rock?”

“Wow, it’s huge!”

“Oooh...”

Where Rubia pointed, there was a really huge rock.

Looking at its size... ummm...

It’s about the size of 30 of me!

30 Noah centimeters!

Rubia grabbed my hand.

Hephaestus followed behind me... with a rather sinister expression.

Why is he like that?

I tried to ignore Hephaestus’ strange gaze and arrived in front of the rock.

But...

“When I look closely, it’s much bigger.”

“Is that so... why is it so big?”

It’s not 30 Noah centimeters.

It’s 50 Noah centimeters...

It’s so, so huge!

“The place is good. Hephaestus, I'll take care of the tent. Noah, please look after the surrounding area. I'll prepare the meal."

"Yeah!"

"Yes."

Hephaestus took the tent out of his bag and started setting it up.

Rubia used the divine power she had drawn from her body to set up the tent and started to light a fire.

I.

"Ugh... No, it's high..."

I crawled up onto the rock.

I could just... sit down and spread my wings.

But this is romantic!

After reaching the top of the rock, I sat on my dad's legs.

I could feel Rubia's tent.

And I could picture Hephaestus being happy that the tent was finished being set up.

Rubia was smiling reluctantly.

Then, Rubia looked up at me and shouted.

"Noah-! Dinner is barbecue!"

Huh!

“Okay, okay... uh, uhm...”

I tried to shout out loud like Rubia.

But I couldn't get that loud.

Then...

I raised both arms above my head and drew a circle and shook them vigorously.

Rubia smiled and nodded.

Hephaestus was still showing off his tent.

He felt a ticklish harmony as if he was on a trip and broadened his senses.

And.

“Huh...?”

Not far away.

Blood-stained.

A naked woman was drawn walking toward me.

Behind her.

Dozens of demons were chasing after her.
