120 120. Broken Hekiko Sword




 The youngest knight in the kingdom - his name is only known to those who know him.
 Of course, if you belong to the Kuro Wolf Knights, you're probably aware of him to some extent.
 Even so, if you don't have a chance to work with them, you won't have a chance to talk to them, and most of the missions that I, Alta Schweizer, have performed have been on my own.
 Recently, other members of the Order have been helping me more and more, I guess.
 There is a store that I often visit.

"Wow, ...... costs quite a bit, doesn't it?
"Well, when it comes to the top-end stuff, it's bound to cost a lot.

 I look at the invoice and frown.
 The place where I am now is .......
 It is located a little far from the school and is run by a blacksmith named Barnes.
 He also works on difficult items and has been useful for checking the condition of swords in this area.
 But this time, ......, it's not going to be so easy.
 Not long ago, I had my beloved Hekko Sword broken in a battle with Riggles Harvey of the Swordsmen.
 Not only was the blade chipped off, but the blade itself was broken.
 I knew it was not an easy thing to fix, but .......

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. And if it's broken, you'll need a new ...... material. That's how much it'll cost, even if I'm being conservative.
Well, that's true.

 I agree with the words of the blacksmith Barnes.
 The ore used to make the blue armor sword, called herendite, is quite rare.
 If the material itself is rare, it will be quite expensive to repair it.
 But I can't afford not to fix a broken sword anyway.
 Besides, there was something I could say to make me feel better.

I had no choice. I'll just leave the repair request as it is.

 Yes, the damage was caused during the mission.
 If that's the case, you can apply for my broken sword as a necessary expense of the Order.
 You can also repair the sword without worrying about the rather exorbitant price.
 It's not often that a sword is broken, but there are times like this.
 If I had to pay for it every time it broke, I'd be in debt rather than comfortable.
 ...... In that sense, if it hadn't been for the expense, I would probably be using only 'swords that can be broken' right now, for lack of a better word.

I'm going to keep the sword for a while, do you need a replacement?
"No, I'm fine. No, I'm fine. I'm sure the Order can find a suitable one.
Yes. By the way, breaking this sword is quite a showy thing to do, isn't it?
It's not that flashy, but... But I didn't think it would break either.
"You broke ......?

 Suddenly, as if to interrupt my words, the girl's voice reaches my ears.
 It was a familiar voice to me.
 --It was a voice that sounded familiar to me. I could feel a feeling similar to a desire to kill near the entrance of Naksanjiba.
 I know there is a presence of people, but I can't figure out who it is.
 I never expected her to be here, much less at .......

"...... Chloe?

 I'll call her the name of a girl with long, beautiful blonde hair tied up on either side and red eyes.
 She usually has a cute expression on her face, but her brow wrinkles up in anger.
 I intuitively know I'm in trouble.
 Before I could ask her why she was here.

"Hey, did you ...... break the Blue Armor Sword, by any chance?

 As if to confirm, the girl asks.
 Chloe Schweizer, my sister-in-law, asks me the same question again.
 I let out a small sigh. I let out a small sigh, "If it's already inevitable, I'll just tell her the truth.

"Yeah, I broke it.
"............ Oh, you didn't break it! You stupid brother-in-law!

 The next moment, he cursed me just as I thought he would.
