Solo Swordmaster

#749. It’s something that doesn’t fit the balance calculation.

[Huh….]

“What is Huh?”

[No, I thought it was really funny.]

“Was there anything interesting about the story I just said?”

[Of course there is.]

“In what way?”

[In the sense that if my brother had suffered even one wound, I would have immediately led the Russian army to visit the United States?]

“That’s a boring joke.”

[Did I hear that as a joke?]

“….”

[Anyway, my brother is really reckless. To fight again with a broken body by overdoing it in Russia.]

“It’s not to the point of being broken. I just need a little break.”

[Aha, that’s why you ignored Maia’s words that you must be absolutely stable and banged around with armor in such a place?] ”

Because I didn’t know that this would happen.”

[Because I don’t know what to say?]

“…Are you angry?”

[Nothing? Because oppa is free to do crazy things.]

“Normally, that kind of thing is not called freedom.”

[If you know, can you refrain from doing things that will worry me and Ainsha? Honestly, I don’t even know what crazy things I’ll do if my brother goes wrong.]

“…Why don’t you get angry instead. That word is even scarier.”

[Are you not angry? At most, she almost became a widow as soon as she became a priest.]

“….”

[Anyway, it’s good that Charlotte’s condition has improved.]

“It was a blessing in disguise. It’s not enough to make progress, as I’ve only just remembered one of the iron sword armored weapons…” [It’s

always a small drop of water that pierces a rock, right?]

“I don’t know when that rock will break, though.”

[That’s a weak sound unlike an older brother.]

“Well…”

[Why is there something going on?]

“…It’s not like I’m deliberately concerned.”

[Huh…?]

“Rather than that, how do you see this day?”

[Are you talking about armor runaways?]

“Did you find out anything? I heard that the reinforced exoskeleton made by Bahamut was recovered from among the machines that ran out of control this time.”

[Well, the aircraft hasn’t arrived yet, so I’ll have to investigate the details, but it can’t be a simple device defect?]

“So, is it hacking after all?”

[maybe. But isn’t that the usual way? In the first place, it is impossible for me to hack that many armored cavalrymen or armored cavalrymen at once.]

“Then…”

[It’s probably as you expected.]

“…That’s the worst.”

* * *

“Wheeyu.”

Brilliant yet insipid.

Everyone is busy but tired.

Covered with skyscrapers towering high into the sky.

Compared to any other big city in the world, it is a city that feels grand and strangely human.

Among them, the boorish cowboy whistling while looking out the window from the tallest skyscraper muttered admiringly:

“At times like this, you really feel a sense of alienation. This neighborhood wasn’t like this before.”

“….”

“Oh, but that bar over there is the same as it used to be. Would you like to stop by for a drink later?”

“…”

“…Sister-in-law, please don’t just ignore me like that. Talking alone makes me feel like a guy who is flirting with my sister-in-law.”

“111.”

“Thank you for answering, but could you please speak in human language?”

Unlike the excited-looking cowboy, the Indian girl had a sullen face.

The running repairman didn’t bother repeating his words.

It seemed like he had nothing to say to Billy.

I just turned my head to the other side as I was sitting curled up on the sofa.

It was time for Billy to giggle and look out the window again, as if he knew it would happen even though he had been openly ignored.

“You seem to like the scenery.”

“Well, the scenery is nice, but more than anything, it’s because it’s amazing.”

“I understand. For you, the scenery here must be something you see for the first time in decades.”

quietly open the door and come in

The old man who asked a low-key question.

The golden lord nodded slowly.

Then, fiddling with the silver coin, he opened his mouth again.

“So, how do you feel about the changed Wall Street?”

“It’s admirable anyway. Because that humble neighborhood has become so blatant.”

“It’s shabby…. It’s a little unexpected. Even in your lifetime, New York would have been one of America’s largest cities.”

“Kyahaha! Of course, the building was gorgeous in its own way at that time, but it was a time when bungee jumping without a rope was popular.”

“…I do understand.”

Great Depression.

United States of course.

Investors who used money like water until dawn as the world’s economy hit bottom became debtors at night and threw themselves off rooftops.

Take a moment to nod your head after hearing the words of the person who witnessed the Wall Street of that era.

The golden lord turned his head.

“Come in.”

Sigh.

It seemed that he was waiting for that call.

A girl with glasses opened the door and entered.

The old man calmly said, looking at her fair skin even though she was tanned, and her off-white color standing out even between frowns.

“It’s late, but I’ll introduce you. The deputy guild leader of our guild is an acrobatic fox.”

“Oh, if there was such a pretty lady, she would have introduced me a long time ago. Miss, do you have a boyfriend? If you don’t have it, it’s hot with me…”

“At the same time, she’s also my granddaughter.”

“…wouldn’t it be nice to have a cup of tea and talk about business with each other?”

No matter how foolish he was, he couldn’t have flirted with his grandfather in front of his face.

Even if I changed my words slightly.

Even so, the girl’s answer to Billy’s words, which did not give up on flirting itself, was simple.

“What is this minuscule thing?”

“…Isn’t it a bit excessive to say that you’re going to lose weight all over the place?”

“You don’t want to hear that from a guy who tried to offer you a hot night the first time you met, right?”

having fun

The girl who made Billy shut up with a cold snort.

The somersault fox looked back at the golden lord and asked sharply.

“Grandpa, do I have to guide these people?”

“Be careful what you say, somersault fox. Even though they look young, they are older than me.”

“Then it doesn’t mean that you hit on someone who is the size of your granddaughter. It’s more asshole than you’ve heard.”

“Nothing to blame. Regardless of age, being attracted to a young and attractive mate is an instinct that both dogs and humans have.”

“…”

Why?

The reason why grandfathers seem to be defending more than their granddaughter who sweared by dogs are digging more.

That’s how Billy shrank or not.

After chatting for a while, the two grandsons finally came up with a story.

“It’s just a tour guide, right?”

“Okay, don’t worry about the money and take care of it.”

“Okay, I’ll make sure. Don’t forget your promise to give me the yacht in return.”

“do not worry. A deal is a deal.”

It was then.

Billy suddenly opened his mouth.

“…Hey, look? It’s a little strange to hear, so I’m sorry. What do you mean by tour guide?”

“You don’t even know what tourism is?”

“Remove your eyes as if you were looking at an old man with dementia. What I want to say is that we are not here to tour.”

I was scratching the back of my head tremblingly.

borrowed the words.

“Because of what happened in Russia last time, my lady got angry. This time, he sent me and my sister-in-law as helpers to ensure success.”

Africa Amazon to Russia.

As a result of several failed plans that he was confident in destroying the Seven Dragons.

The World Federation is already at a standstill.

It was at the edge of a cliff.

In the meantime, in order to carry out the Golden Lord’s plan, he collected and poured the remaining funds from other guilds.

It was only natural that Wanderer dispatched an assistant called the Sword Master to make this plan a success.

“No need.”

“…Did you say you didn’t need it?”

“Yes.”

So it was.

Why couldn’t Billy blink?

However, the golden lord continued to speak without raising an eyebrow.

“Do you know why you guys have failed so far?”

“That’s it, honestly, I was unlucky.”

“No, because we had a fight.”

“…what do you mean by that?”

“It means that from the moment I tried to fight the swordsman regardless of victory or defeat, it was not a good idea to calculate the balance.”

in terms of power.

The World Federation, which originally had nine sword masters, clearly had an overwhelming advantage.

That’s why up until now, instead of avoiding the fight against the Seven Dragons, especially Limon, they have been actively leading it.

But when the golden lord sees it.

It was an obvious mistake.

Limon is the guardian deity of mankind who has been protecting the world for hundreds of years.

In terms of the company, it is an excellent stock company that has succeeded in all investments and businesses for hundreds of years without a single failure.

Do you believe that such a long-established company will fail this time and sell short only with ample wealth?

It is not an investment.

It’s just speculation.

That’s why the golden lord asserted.

“I have no intention of fighting the swordsman.”

Because Suri, who runs with Billy, was sent by Wanderer, and in case of an unexpected situation, he accepted it as a guest.

Unless things go awry.

He said that he had no intention of creating a forceful impulse with the Seven Dragons, including the swordsmith.

The old man, who said it clearly, added one more word calmly.

“Because even the swordsman won’t be able to stop my plan anyway.”

When you open your eyes.

What she felt was unfamiliarity.

The ceiling was different from the old, shabby one she was used to seeing.

But at the same time, it was also familiar.

She had seen this room, so luxurious and neatly furnished.

“Are you awake?”

“…What are you doing there, boss?”

“What are you doing, taking care of our late-sleeping black dog?”

“It doesn’t look like she’s nursing…”

Leviathan’s bedroom.

The black-haired man who cut and ate an apple next to the bed.

Looking at Lee, she mumbled inadvertently, but came to her senses only belatedly and asked.

“Come to think of it, what about the president’s body? Are you okay now?”

“That’s what I’m asking.”

“Are you asking? To me?”

“Do you remember why you lost consciousness?”

“That’s…”

Black Dog blurted out.

And after a moment of silence, he shook his head.

“…no.”

I clearly remember jumping off the roof to escape the Golden Buffalo’s shelling.

After that, everything was vague and hazy, like a forgotten dream after waking up.

But why?

Joy for no reason.

And even relief and coziness.

Even though I can’t remember it, the feelings that have dug deep into my heart are so clear.

Rather, I feel a sense of loss.

I feel like I’ve forgotten something very precious.

“Hmm… It’s a pity that I can’t remember, but it’s good that your body is okay. Especially in a situation like this.”

“This state of affairs?”

It was a while that I was immersed in regret.

Lee told Black Dog what had happened while she was unconscious.

“It is not only here that there is an uproar. Similar incidents have occurred in every city in the wilderness.”

That moment.

Black Dog forgot his regrets.

Instead, he just looked at Lee with a hardened face.

“You mean the armor ran rampant everywhere in the wilderness?”

“okay.”

“Could that mean…?”

“Everyone is talking about it anyway.”

As if the Europeans did not forget the fear of the demon god,

even though it happened hundreds of years ago, it is still passed down like a trauma in the history of the United States of America.

One of the worst catastrophes in history.

Limon put it in his mouth heavily.

“This is a sign of a spirit uprising.”
