Solo Swordmaster

#602. Your apprentice is a sword master.

* * *

Creatures.

A word meaning a living object.

However, it is extremely difficult to define a real creature compared to a simple definition in a dictionary.

Animals that fly, crawl and walk.

A plant without a brain.

Even a single cell like an amoeba.

The more you compare all those living creatures, the more vague it becomes that even what it means to be alive.

But at least there was one thing in common that everyone could easily understand.

It is an instinct to increase numbers.

through breeding.

Or through division.

It was a more essential characteristic because it was the most basic of organisms trying to prosper by leaving and spreading their own DNA.

The important fact is that humans are also living things.

In other words, it meant that they had an instinct to preserve and reproduce the species.

…even a sword master.

So this moment.

Limon couldn’t help but put on an expression of deep confusion, hesitation, and perplexity, one of the best in his hundreds of years of life.

“In short… you want children?”

“correction. To be precise, I want a group with my genes mixed.”

“So you need someone to mate with?”

“Positive. I can’t give birth alone. We need a male to mate with.”

“…As an added bonus, do you want to fall in love with that person?”

“denial. It’s not a bonus, it’s a must.”

doing well

An Indian girl who was eating freshly grilled eagle meat and making embarrassing noises.

The running repairman continued his speech calmly.

“explanation. Love is a unique human characteristic. It is the criterion by which humans select the partners they want to breed with.”

Different animals have different criteria for choosing a mate.

Or prefer a more flashy look.

cries are cool

Something that smells good, etc.

The criteria, which may even seem outlandish in some ways, have certain advantages, such as being advantageous to survival or easy to reproduce, upon closer inspection.

“question. I don’t understand. illogical.”

But compared to other creatures.

The standard of human ‘love’ was strange.

Of course, love is not necessarily absolute.

There were many people who simply mated with people based on their good looks, lineage, or family background.

If you still fall in love

Humans always prioritized it.

If you fall in love with someone who is neither particularly handsome nor stable in your environment, you will mate with them.

Even opponents who are overwhelming in every way are rejected because they have someone they love.

Each person has a different reason for falling in love with such a subject, so it was almost surprising to choose a mate based on such an unsafe standard.

Because of his unique birth, he is a running repairman who does not know what human emotions are, so he says,

“Exploration. so i’m more curious. I want to try it again before I die.”

“…”

But he is also human.

you can fall in love

If they were going to mate, they would definitely find someone who felt the emotion of love.

Limon was mesmerized by the sight of the flying eagle sucking the juices off his fingers and talking.

Because I couldn’t have imagined that her regrets would be like this.

If you think about it soberly.

Actually, it’s not strange.

It is human nature to want to reproduce.

There is even a myth that if your life is in danger, your sex drive will become stronger.

If you grant a wish to a person who has never been in a relationship in his life and is now terminally ill, there are not a few people who want to experience true love.

So, the length of running repairs is extremely ordinary.

or the collapse of Britain.

or world unification.

life-and-death struggle, etc.

It was even heartwarming compared to the long-cherished wishes of other sword masters who were obvious without asking.

…If it weren’t for the situation where resolving her regrets might be the first step to solving the mystery.

‘Should I call this fortunate or unfortunate?’

Limon groaned.

As the running repair said,

obviously this part itself is simple.

But…

‘I’m a sword master, not an old man under the moon.’

who did it

It is said that a matchmaker should have three drinks if it goes well, and three cheeks if it goes wrong.

In other words, it means that it is difficult to find a partner who is compatible with each other.

Even good men and women become enemies when they get along, and there are couples who live happily even if they only look at the family and get married for convenience.

But what can I do?

It’s not something you can ask to change the time limit.

Thinking that he should just find a true husband for his pupil, Limon asked earnestly.

“Suri, what is your ideal type?”

“I want you to explain what your ideal type is.”

“Why are you there? A man’s style that you’ll fall in love with at first sight.”

It is impossible right now.

Instead, if you mobilize all the influence of the Seven Dragons later on, you will be able to gather men from all over the world who fit the ideal type of running repair.

Then it would be more likely to relieve her regret than doing nothing.

Limon judged like an old man.

The problem was the answer of the running repair.

“do not know.”

“…why don’t you know that?”

“answer. never loved me So you might love some guy.”

In a sense, it is a natural theory.

But to Limon, who was speechless at the absurd answer for a girl who wanted to try falling in love.

The running repair said.

“request. So, the male teacher will find it on its own.”

“What are you saying to me when you see something you don’t even know?”

“plea. The leader of my pack is a male mentor. So, the male teacher chooses a mate.”

“I’m not your boss, but the male teacher… no, I didn’t say Master.”

Limon sighed.

At best, the title of male leader was even corrected to male teacher.

The thought of having to find a mate for this girl who still considers herself the leader gave her a headache.

I don’t know if I know his feelings or not.

The running repair said calmly.

“Quick. Anyway, this is what the master male promised. So please keep your promise.”

“A promise?”

“reminisce. If I want to mate later, the male teacher promises to take responsibility. So, I ask you to take responsibility now.”

“what?”

That moment.

Limon hardened.

It was because Maia’s eyes, who were listening to their conversation, suddenly felt cold.

Why did they get along so well?

It seems like you want to know why.

Limon, who was breaking out in a cold sweat at the sight of her without any warmth, hurriedly asked.

“When did I make that promise?”

“Point out. Before I left the Sword Tower.”

“…You mean that? If you ever find a boy you like, did you tell me to bring it to me before mating?”

“Positive.”

“That’s what I said in case you meet a strange bastard. Why did that promise that I would be in charge of mating?”

“clear. I promise to get permission from the mating lead male. Instead, the mating leader male is responsible. A natural exchange condition.”

“So that’s the exchange condition… no. Just think your way.”

Giving up what he was trying to argue with, Limon sighed.

either as a teacher.

Whether it’s as the boss you raised.

In a sense, it was true that he needed to take care of the marriage of a running repairman who was as ignorant and naive as a newborn baby.

Even more so now that it has reached the end of the year.

That’s why when Limon makes a sound of pain in the deepening trouble.

A cold voice was heard.

“It’s such an amazing time.”

“I know yeah. I wonder how the hell she’ll find a man she can fall in love with…” ”

I guess you haven’t grasped the seriousness of the situation yet.”

“huh?”

I guess that’s what it means.

Looking at Limon with a puzzled expression.

Maia raised her already sharp eyes even more sharply.

“If I knew, I wouldn’t be talking nonsense like I was before.”

“Is that bullshit?”

“You still don’t understand?”

Maybe it was because the length of the repair was so unexpected.

Looking at Limon, who did not realize the most important fact because of useless worries.

Maia twisted her blue-white lips.

“The Sword Spirit doesn’t just want to fall in love. You want to mate with someone you love and have children.”

“What did you say?”

After all, love is just a process.

I’ve already heard that mating with someone you love and producing offspring is the end of a running eagle.

Why are you repeating the story again?

to him who is in doubt.

Maia said cynically.

“Your swordsman apprentice is a sword master.”

“So what is that…?”

That moment.

Limon hardened.

because I just realized

It was also that the worries he had been doing until now were completely in vain because he was worthless.

And that resolving the sword spirit’s remorse was a million times more difficult than he thought.

And the reason why Maia now looks at herself with especially colder eyes than usual.

Because of that, it hardened like a stone.

Looking at Limon, who began to pour cold sweat all over his body like rain.

Maia continued.

“If you are the swordsman, you will know. How hard it is for a sword master to have children.”

there is no way you don’t know

Live a longer life than anyone else.

With the experience of hugging several women.

Because he was the first to realize that it was near impossible for a sword master to give birth to offspring, and he was the one who personally proved it.

And the best interest in the world.

As the green dragon princess who has been investigating the enemy for hundreds of years.

Maia, who was knowledgeable about the ecology of a sword master, was naturally well aware of that fact.

…the solution too.

“That’s why, in order for a sword master to have children, it is necessary to bond with someone who is of the right level.”

The alternative is simple.

If a tiger and a cat do not produce offspring, they are the same tiger.

At least, if you mate with a lion, you will have children.

“At least the absolute class.”

“There is no such thing as a saint or a monarch.”

“You have to be an opponent who has been born with or acquired the status of a creature that is superior enough to handle the sword master’s genes.”

Even the Archwitch who surpassed even God.

Lords who have reached level 100.

No matter how much you have the power of the absolute, it is the strength of the individual.

As a creature that possesses the power of an absolute class just by being born, a being with a different status itself was rare among absolutes.

“If it were the former, it would include incarnations or fairy queens descended from dragons, but incarnations have long since disappeared, and we and fairies are all women.”

“…”

“And there is only one being capable of doing that, albeit a posteriori.”

A cold sweat that doubled over my stomach.

A mouth that won’t open.

Golden eyes that cause earthquakes.

A voice that continued to be heard by Limon, who was silent with a face driven into a corner that he had never built even when he fought with other sword masters.

“In the end, there are two options for you, the swordsman.”

“…”

“Would you form a sword spirit with another Sword Master who is acting as a dog of the World Federation?”

have already realized

However, Limon hardened at the solution he didn’t want to know.

In addition to his usual pessimistic ridicule, he looked at him with contempt as if he were looking at the world’s trash.

The princess, who had already declared war with unbearable love and hatred that she would poison the whole world in order to have him, coldly struck the decisive blow.

“Even if you are ‘physically’ responsible for the sword spirits’ mating and help them.”
