"Hey, Barca! What the hell do you think you're doing?

　While both sides were fighting each other in a deadly confrontation, a man from a neighboring village raised his voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Holding a weapon in one hand, he pushes his way forward to the front of the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is holding a large sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A large sword, I suppose you could call it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite the thick sword in his hand, he moves without showing any signs of heaviness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His appearance is quite different from the rest of the group and stands out from the crowd.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Like the people in our village, they basically do not have very good weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of them grab farm tools and walk out of the house.

　Spears are often used not as farming tools but as weapons of war.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why spears are more common than swords has to do with economics.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A sword requires a considerable length of metal from the handle head, while a spear requires only a wooden stick with a blade tip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In comparison, the amount of metal used in a spear is much smaller and less expensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, having a sword is an indication of one's economic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What I am trying to say is that in a group of people who have only crude weapons, having a sword bigger than a person's height is a sign of full of presence.

"Is that man Vargas?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Vargas?　Dad, do you know him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I know. He's kind of a hero around here. He was a great warrior in many battles in the past.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So you must be pretty strong."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But I thought you said you left here a long time ago. And now you're back."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, he's a famous neighbor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, people his age and older know Vargas very well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Vargas showed up, people everywhere started to get upset.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people in the neighboring villages, on the other hand, seemed to have calmed down considerably after Vargas stepped forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that he once left this place, but does that mean that he is still a reliable man for the people in the neighboring villages?

"Listen!　The Fontana family has been cruel to the inhabitants of Barca village. We were angry and stood up against them. So I want you to join us!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was while I was observing a man named Vargas who had stepped forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Bite Brother stepped in front of us and suddenly started talking to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Vargas's figure with the big sword was also intimidating to us, but Bite-Brother was a good match for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The quality of his equipment is outstanding among ours.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is no wonder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I prepared it myself.

　First of all, Baito is riding a hornless Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Few peasants have the skill to ride a horse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is only natural that few people have a beast that can be ridden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Bait riding on a majestic beast with pure white fur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His body is wrapped in brand-new leather armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is made from the fur of a giant boar, tanned using a potion that restores magical powers as a catalyst.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of the peasants use farming tools as their weapons, and they have almost no armor at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At best, they use wooden planks as shields.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Leather armor made to perfectly fit the body of the Baito brother, who is still a child and will obviously continue to grow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even more impressive was the weapon in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not as large as the great sword held by Vargas, but a hard-tusked sword made from the tusks of a great boar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gran had given one of the swords he had made to his brother Bight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword is not made of metal, but has a mysterious glow because of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what the other side sees in this Bite Brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must not even dream of being the second son of an ordinary farmer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that you, by any chance?　The big eater of Barca or something like that is at ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Oh, that's not true. That's my brother. Ars, come forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Bite brother and Vargas talk a few words and call me over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what's going on, but if I can talk to them anyway, I'll go over there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That guy?　Hey, this has got to be some kind of a joke. A kid like that couldn't kill a big boar by himself!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see... So "big game eater" is a kind of name given to a person for defeating a big boar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the way, Gran said he came to me because he heard about the big boar slaying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if the rumor is spreading well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, I can laugh it off as a kid's joke now. Get the guys in the back and get the hell out of here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't play with me, I told you before. We of Barca will fight the Fontana family. And you're going to help us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not going to go along with that kind of nonsense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, what the f*ck?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell, are you doing this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Bite brother and Vargas started to get into a kind of argument.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it may turn out to be more than a quarrel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are getting closer and closer to each other, both of them with their weapons behind them, leaning forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I gave up on a peaceful solution soon enough and fired a warning shot in the direction of Vargas.
