　Mannion looks at the merchant who suddenly appears.

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

"I can't take anything from him, can I?"

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

"Yes, I don't know who Samuel Scheidt is in your mind, but I know him to be the greatest wizard I've ever known.

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

　Manion could not take the words of the merchant, who seemed to have some respect for Sam, in stride.

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

"How can he be the strongest when he was just too scared to do anything about me!　If he's the best, then I'm the best!"

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

"With all due respect, you can't beat Samuel. No, but even if you could, who would recognize you and tell you that what is Samuel's is yours?

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

"Well, that's..."

"Samuel is not only strong. He is well remembered by His Majesty Clyde Isle-Sky, King of the Kingdom of Skye, and is a friend to other court wizards and sorcerers. He has many allies, but how many allies do you have?"

"--"

　Mannion had nothing to say in return.

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

　The merchant was right, Mannion did not have Sam's connections.

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

"If I lived in King's Landing, I'd be just like him."

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

Yes, yes, of course. Yes, of course. You're not as good as Samuel because you're in a lonely barony in the countryside."

I am not inferior!　Sure, I'm not well-connected, but how could I be inferior to a man like that!"

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

"Oops, my bad. Yes, Mr. Manion is not inferior to Samuel. If we fight, we can win, can't we?

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

"Of course!　There is no way I could lose to that scum!"

"-With your ugly, fat frame, can't you even run properly, let alone wield a sword?"

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

"You insult me!"

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

　Manion, red in the face, spits in the air.

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

　But, perhaps aware of the merchant's point, he tries to hide his bloated belly, as if ashamed.

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

If you try to take it from him, Samuel will surely resist. He will be desperate not to have what is his."

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

"Well, then, what should I do?

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

"-That's why we recommend this product."

　As if he had been waiting for us, the merchant pulled a pitch-black sword out of the void.

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

　It was a weird-looking long sword, black from the tip to the hilt.

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

　Manion did not understand it, but if Sam had been there, he would have frowned at the evil and magical power coming from the long sword.

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

"What is this weird sword?"

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

"Oh, well, creepy is the word, isn't it? The power hidden in this sword is extraordinary. After all... it's a magic sword!

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

"--a magic sword?

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

　Mannion's eyes widened in surprise.

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

　No wonder. It's not every day you get to see a magic sword.

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

　They cannot be mass-produced in the first place, and are made by a renowned craftsman who has been trained for many years, using first-rate materials and magical power.

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

　It is not something that is generally distributed.

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

　It is not something that can be easily obtained, such as a nobleman's heirloom passed down from generation to generation, or a skilled adventurer who finds it in the deepest part of a dungeon.

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

　Even Manion is a swordsman. He has a longing for the magic sword.

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

　And with the sword right in front of him, he should not be surprised.

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

"Yes, a magic sword. It took a lot of work to get it, but it was worth it.

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

Give me that!　If only I had a magic sword!

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

Yes, of course. I'll give it to Master Manion.

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

"Are you sure about ......?"

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

　Manion was dazzled by the magic sword and demanded to give it to the merchant, but he was disappointed when the merchant readily agreed to give it to him.

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

　He even suspected that the sword might be a fake.

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

"However, I have a condition before I give it to you.

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

"Conditions?　What is it?"

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

It means that you are recognized by this magic sword. It is said that the sword has a will and chooses its wielder. If it is chosen, it will have unimaginable power, but if it is not chosen, it will suck your life away and you will die.

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

　Manion's throat clears.

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

　The merchant smiled at the boy.

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

"Well, how can I help you?"

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

"...... that's..."

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

　Knowing that his life was in danger, Mannion became frightened.

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

　It should have been easy for him to take everything from Sam.

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

　But, as the merchant pointed out, he needed a weapon to defeat Sam.

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

　Still, it was Manion's honest intention not to take the risk.

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

"What are you afraid of, when you are about to take everything from Sam!"

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

　A voice scolded Manion, who was unable to reach for the magic sword in front of him.

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

"Oh, Mother!"

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

"Oh, ma'am."

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

　Manion's mother, Yolanda.

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

　She is supposed to be resting in the carriage, but she has probably come to look for Mannion.

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

　She takes one look at her son who is hesitating before the magic sword and looks at the merchant with a sniff.

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

"I don't know which merchant you are, but it's a good decision to let Manion look at my son."

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

"I am honored by your compliments."

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

Come on, Manion. Pick up the magic sword.

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

"But, but..."

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

Take it!　You piece of shit!　You will take everything from Samuel and take revenge on your husband and Harry!　Why do you hesitate!　You don't have the guts to risk your life!"

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

"But, but..."

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

Just do it!　You dullard!"

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

Yes, yes!

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

　Yolanda, not bothering to hide her annoyance at her son's fear of the evil sword, yelled at him.

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

　Manion does as he is told.

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

　Reflexively, he reaches for the sword and grips its hilt.

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

"Ah!"

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

　At that moment, I felt a connection with the sword.

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

"Oh, this is wonderful!　The demon sword has acknowledged Master Manion as its master!"

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

"Oh, I was chosen by the demon sword?"

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

"Yes, yes, of course!　From now on, you are a demon swordsman!　You are now a mage!

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

"Excellent, Manion!　That's my boy!　Even the Master doesn't have a magic sword, but you have one!　Now we can kill Samuel and take everything!"

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

"Congratulations."

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

　Manion, who had become the master of the magic sword so easily and unexpectedly, did not know what had happened to him, but he realized that he was the chosen one when he heard the compliments of his mother and the merchant.

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

"I am the master of the magic sword!　Yes, I was chosen!　I knew I was special!　I'm a genius!"

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

"Yes, Manion!　You are my son, of course you are special!

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

"Now I can take everything from Samuel!　I can even get revenge on your father and Harry!"

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

　Manion, elated at being chosen as the magic sword, begins to laugh hysterically.

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

　Yolanda joined him and continued to laugh happily.

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

　The merchant smiled a crooked smile as he applauded Manion.

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

"Now, I have a proposal for you, Mr. Manion.

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

"What?"

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

"Would you like to try your hand at slaying?"

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

"Trial slaying, huh?"

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

Yes, a trial slash. Fortunately, this is Viscount Riedyll's domain. The domain of the family of your former fiancee who disrespected you. Isn't it an appropriate place to wield a magic sword?

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

　The merchant's words brought a twisted smile to Manion and Yolanda's faces.

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

　They understood what the merchant was trying to say.

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

"Fortunately, there is a small village nearby. --Would you like to try it out?

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

"Fine, show me around!"

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

I knew you would say that. Come on, this way.

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

　Guided by the merchant, Manion follows, magic sword in hand.

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

　Yolanda and her son go deeper into the forest.

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

　--That day, a village was destroyed.
