Winning the war.

　And I played a role in it.

　I got our hero, Tina, to come home.

　And I was to be married to Tina.

　And that I was to be married to Princess Rifa. The people gathered around the castle cheered and congratulated me.

　Thanks to Tina and Rifa telling the people that they were going to marry me because they love me so much, I didn't hear any opposition.

　I was a little embarrassed to hear it.
　Tina and Rifa also had that blush on their faces.

　It was my turn to speak next, but...

　I was so nervous that I don't remember what I said at all. Tina and the others complimented me on what a good speech it was.

　And so our wedding announcement went off without a hitch.

　No, we had a little problem.

　The sylphs said it was a celebration, and sent a large number of leaves from the World Tree down to the capital. He said it's for all the people in Alheim.

　In addition, he blurted out that he had a contract with me. The country was in an uproar.

　But some people were saved because of it. We were able to save the elves of the border guards who were ambushed by Apristos.

　Thanks to Luca, there were no deaths, but there were many who were badly injured with permanent injuries. Even with Luna's support, Luca alone couldn't heal all those who were badly injured.

　An elixir made from the leaves of the World Tree was delivered to those badly injured elves of the border guards. Thanks to it, the soldiers wounded in the last war made a full recovery.

　For some reason, the elves of the Border Guard were very grateful to me.

　No, it was the sylphs who gave us the ingredients for the elixir that saved you.

　Nevertheless, I got all sorts of gifts because I got married at this point in time and Sylph saved me by giving me the leaves of the world tree for my blessing, so it's thanks to me. There was a beautiful carpet, a dagger with a jewel in it, and so on.

　All sorts of elven treasures have been brought into the room we were staying in.

　Um........can't we go into the room?

　Too many treasures were overflowing from the room. And yet, the maids in the service of the royal castle were still bringing in more treasures. Finally, they even started placing them in the next room.

''........Isn't this too much?''

'We elves have a long life span, so we don't have many children. Because of that, we are a race with a very strong sense of camaraderie. Many of our people have been saved thanks to Mr. Hurt, so it's only natural for us to do this.

　Rifa explained.

'Oh, by the way, your father told me to go get Mr. Hurt for you.

All right. Oval Office?

Yes, please.

　I went to the Elf King's office.


　The elf king's office.

"My son Hurt, I am so grateful for your help in this matter. And you are now a hero of this country. And for that, I give you this.

　Then the Elf King handed me a sword the size of my height. It looked huge, but when I held it, it was as light as a feather.

It is a treasure sword that has been handed down in our country. Its name is High Country.

　What?　That's a national treasure!

No, I can't take that kind of stuff!

Halt, can you hold it in one hand?

　With one hand?

　Of course you can hold it.
　It's because it's light as a feather.

　I held the High Kingdom in one hand and held it at the ready.

"Oh!
My God ... the Highlands with one hand.
After all, Master Hurt was a true hero.

　The ministers who were present at the meeting were surprised.

　What, what do you mean?

Halt. It's a good thing that you're a true hero. I was holding it quite hard until I gave it to you a while ago.

"My King, I think you would be considered a hero for raising the Kingdom all by yourself.

　According to the ministers, it takes five soldiers to move this high country.

　I'm reminded of the greatness of the Elf King who handed me such a sword by himself.

You have been chosen as the Highlander. You have been chosen by the High Kingdom, and from now on that sword will be your strength.

　I heard that I can really get this national treasure, I can get it.

　My status is fixed due to the evil god's curse, so whatever attack power this sword has is meaningless.

　But since such a large sword is as light as a feather, it will give me more ways to attack.


　─ Hmm?

　I feel like the magic power is being sucked out of the hand that holds the High Kingdom.

　Oh, could it be!

Your Majesty, may I have a word?

　With that, I walked out of the office and onto the balcony.

　Somehow I think I can do it. The secret techniques that are only allowed to masters of sword and magic.

　I held the High Kingdom at the upper level...

　He swung down at the mountain in the distance.


　A slash flew from the high country.

　That slash ripped through the earth and ripped through the river──and

　He sliced the mountain in half.

The...?
!
Ah, there's no doubt about it. It's the technique a brave man once used to defeat the Demon King.
'But isn't it a bit more powerful than the lore of the heroes?　Even a brave man should only have used it to cleave off an enemy a few dozen meters away...

"......................

Well, well, it turns out that the sword is exactly what the hero Hurt deserves. Take care of it.

I'm sorry, sir.

　This is how I obtained the High Kingdom, a treasure sword that will be a great partner for me in the future.
