Episode 21. The child abandoned by God
Two swords clashed in the East.
A life-threatening battle between the eldest son and second son of Strange, the continent’s greatest swordsman.
Rumor had it that the battle ended in the eldest son’s victory, but I was able to meet the true winner separately.
“This guy is the assassin who targeted your head.”
Hysteria has come looking for the culprit of this incident.
And that person has the same face and body type that I remember.
“Are you feeling okay? “I heard you got together with Gunther.”
“oh? “How did you know that?”
“The news came through the Imperial Newspaper this morning. “It was a battle between those who would become the first swordsmen in the future.”
“Guys, this information network is amazing. “I never thought the fight last night would spill over into this morning.”
He held his forehead and made a bewildered expression.
There was a mixture of murderousness in the low, cackling laughter.
As if the person who reported this incident will not be left alone.
“I kept my promise.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“It’s your turn this time, right?”
I smiled brightly and looked at the trapped assassin.
“Sure.”
“Now then, tell me what you are going to do with the two trash next to Gunther. “I couldn’t finish the fight this time because of those guys.”
“… … .”
“So, I want you to deal with it quickly.”
“We’ll handle it within this week.”
“good. But wouldn’t it be impossible for you to deal with those two alone?”
“Yes, so we will do it together.”
“two?”
I turned my gaze and saw Rox squatting in the corner of the room. Hysteria tilted her head at him and asked me.
“With that guy?”
“That’s right.”
“… “Are you kidding me?”
“It can’t be. Even though it looks like that, it’s not normal-”
If Hysteria had a normal way of thinking, she would have started the conversation by asking who Rox was.
But this guy created an unexpected situation.
Before I could finish answering, I ran to Rox.
Hiss!
I extended my sword towards his solar plexus.
Kang, Kang!
The sound of metal screeching spread loudly.
“… what? “What is this guy?”
The blade only tore off clothes and could not penetrate Rox’s skin.
Instead, Hysteria’s hand, which had thrown the stab, was unable to withstand the shock and trembled slightly.
I don’t know what would have happened if he had been surrounded by aurors, but just looking at the results shown now, it can be said that his combat ability has been clearly certified.
Rox stretched out both hands and grabbed Hysteria’s blade with a distorted expression.
“What are you?”
I run between the two and hit Rox’s uvula, pushing him back.
widely.
“Oops!”
He pushed Hysteria’s sword back into its sheath.
Pop!
“Brother, this person is needed in this operation.”
“This operation?”
“Yes, I am a blacksmith from Ogre Fortress. “He is very angry because his mother was taken away by Brother Gunther in a battle not long ago.”
“To Gunther?”
“That’s right.”
Rox huffed and lunged at Hysteria, taking a stance.
I stretched out my hand to stop him and continued.
“As you saw a moment ago, he is definitely skilled.”
“It’s fun. “That guy isn’t human?”
“yes.”
Hysteria looked at Rox with tears in her eyes.
By repeatedly squeezing and opening the handle of the sword, it was clear that he was suppressing the urge to cut.
I took a step in front of him and continued speaking.
“Good spot, we’ll prepare it as soon as possible.”
“… Okay, okay. After killing Gunther instead. “I want to fight that guy too.”
“You can talk about that later.”
* * *
Three days have passed since Hysteria left. I kept thinking about what he said meaningfully before he left my room.
-You have an amazing guy with you.

I don’t know on what basis he said that, but his eyes were looking straight at Brunhild.
A cat with blue fur that is still licking its paws by the window.
‘Could it be that clown who told you?’
No, that guy wouldn’t be able to detect Brunhild’s identity.
“hey!”
Rox stuck his face out in front of me and shouted. He grabbed me by the collar with a dissatisfied expression and bared his teeth like an angry animal.
Crrrrr-
“I did everything you asked. But what on earth are you doing!”
“calm down.”
“Calm? Can you calm down? You said it with your own mouth. “If we don’t hurry, my mom could die!”
“… … .”
“But why are you just sitting here? Do you want me to try something? Or tell me where that guy named Gunther is!”
I put my finger on Rox’s solar plexus and whispered softly.
“th.”
bang!
Rox was blown away by the impact and rolled around on the ground. I walked up to the man who was writhing in pain and spoke softly.
“Brother Gunther is coming to the castle this evening. Then we just have to rescue your mother in time.”
“Ugh… . “What?”
“I’m going to go find your mother soon. I sent a letter to my brother Gunther. “Please come to Strange Castle.”
“… .”
It is said that the assassin at the core of this case is locked in the dungeon of Strange Castle.
‘I can’t help but come.’
This is a matter where the father can step forward himself.
If the assassin points out Gunther as the mastermind, this matter will not be over easily.
Bringing in outsiders to fight between brothers was an incident big enough to result in dismissal from the family.
“Didn’t he say he wasn’t on good terms with you? But they come when you call?”
“He has no choice but to come. So what you need to do now is open your mana.”
“Mana?”
“okay.”
Brunhild hopped onto my shoulder and looked Rox up and down. She lifted the corners of her mouth and whispered in my ear.
“Are you sure you were talking about this guy?”
“Yes, please. All you have to do is open up your mana. “I’ll take care of the rest.”
Hmm-
Brunhild looked at Rox with flounder eyes.
“It’s not a difficult task, but I’m so hungry that I can’t use my strength-”
“I knew that would happen and prepared for it.”
I took out the finest tuna from the box that Nanny Emma had prepared for me.
Since yesterday he had been making a fuss about wanting to eat delicious fish, so I ordered the nanny to bring it in by air.
Brunhild, who saw the tuna, immediately walked up to the fish and sniffed it.
“Oh, this tuna is from northern Cassissippi! “Good!”
Easy profit.
I felt strong mana behind my back. When I looked back, I saw blue liquid flowing out of Rox’s body onto the floor.
Wow.
Brunhild quickly took a bite of the tuna and moved to the window.
I looked at her and let out a helpless laugh.
under-
‘As expected, Brunhild’s true identity is a cat.’
That may be why Siegfried said he was not a ‘wizard’ and also called him a ‘witch’.
A cat took on a human mask and tried to become a god with the power of a demon.
-Ugh.
Siegfried, who was dozing over his head, muttered.
“Mmm, Emma’s panties today are red lace, hmmmnya.”
‘You do all kinds of things.’
Rox asked me with a puzzled expression.
“W-what is this?”
“Mana.”
“Mana?”
“Yes, this is a skill you will need when traveling with me in the future.”
“Thank you.”
thud! thud! thud!
Someone knocked on the door.
It seemed that the Guardian Knight, who sensed the mana, had come to visit in a hurry.
“Master, are you okay!”
I sat the embarrassed Rox on a chair and opened the door while holding his hands.
“Stay like this for a moment.”
Sigh-
“Why all the fuss?”
Guardian Knight Commander Beth asked with a stern expression.
“Master, I’m sorry, but may I come into your room for a moment? Intense mana was detected in this area… .”
“Mana? “If it’s mana, that guy over there is using it.”
“?!”
Beth looked at Rox tied up in a chair. The knights who came to my room just now were not very surprised because they all knew his identity.
I just wondered why I was here.
“Isn’t this the child who came looking for his mother not long ago?”
“Yeah, I’m being interrogated right now.”
“what’s the reason?”
“To find out who was behind the assassin.”
“The assassin behind it?”
“Yes, did you hear who is in the dungeon now? “An assassin from the East who was captured by Brother Hysteria.”
“yes.”
“I think that guy and this guy are related. “I was interrogating him myself.”
“You can leave that to us… .”
I shook my head firmly.
“One of the Guardian Knights was watching me this time.”
“Well, that’s-”
“I know it’s not Beth’s fault. So, I will handle this matter myself.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, Sister Valentine will be coming soon to punish that guy. “Just until then.”
“… All right.”
Beth bowed her head politely. As if the knights next to him were watching.

A letter from Castle Strange arrived at Gunter’s barracks.
“Verdin sent me a letter?”
Gunther, who was receiving treatment while sitting on a large chair, tilted his head. He heard that his youngest brother, with whom he had only exchanged greetings so far, had sent him a letter.
What on earth is going on?
“Yes, Master Verdin asked me to deliver it to you personally.”
The driver who brought the letter looked at me and bowed deeply.
Gunther handed me the letter with an indifferent expression and began to read it. Soon after, the paper was crumpled and burned.
Grumble-!
“Damn it!”
The driver who brought the letter stepped back with a frightened expression. Gunther looked at him and drew his sword.
Flutter!
He stabbed the knight in the heart.
“Gagging!”
The aura-covered blade pierced through the iron armor. The knight who brought the letter died without even being able to scream properly.
“Gerno! Giselle!”
Gerno, a large man wearing a horned helmet, who was waiting outside the barracks, and Giselle, who was skinny but as tall as a large monster, came in.
“Did you call me!”
“Did you call me!”
“Try to form a mobile unit of one company immediately. “We must return to Castle Strange quickly.”
Giselle asked cautiously.
“You mean Strange’s last name?”
“Yes, Hysteria delivered the assassin to the castle. “If we leave it like this, Valentine will find out everything.”
“her!”
Gernot punches his opposite palm hard with his fist! He hit it and let out a loud voice.
“That crazy bastard! “So you’re saying you’re going to end things with us?”
“If Dean hadn’t sent me the letter, I would have been in real trouble.”
“Dean? “You mean the youngest master?”
“Yes, Hysteria wants to entrust me with interrogating the assassin she caught. “They say there is no one in the castle that can be trusted.”
“indeed… “It seems like the youngest master has decided on the route.”
Sigh-
Gunther smiled at those words.
“Still, I am destined to die.”
