…What did I just hear? What kind of hallucination did I hear?

okay. It’s definitely like that. Otherwise, a person named Geomseong will give me my father! There’s no way you’re saying the same nonsense.

“In case you misunderstand, I would like to tell you in advance that I did not say this as a joke. I would like to see Sir Benedick Alln seriously. That person’s whim. Hehehe. Hehe.”

I don’t know what he was imagining, but the corners of Geomseong’s mouth were loose enough to remind one of a goofy fox.

“…gross.”

Feeling a familiar disgust from the Sword Saint’s actions, I inadvertently took a step back. Then, the sound of people falling one by one was heard nearby.

…Should I just run away now? For now, just take Geomseong with you. No, this person is also one of the sources of the problem.

No answer. Since there is no answer from the person given, is everyone in this world like this?

As I was denying reality with the thought of wanting to convert, a perverted apostle appeared, following in the footsteps of the Sword Saint.

The perverted apostle hurriedly ran towards me, made eye contact with me, suddenly stopped and covered his nose with his hand.

If you see blood leaking between your fingers, it might be blood coming from your nose.

He looks fine and looks like a sick person on the outside, but in reality, he’s a lolicon pervert who flirts with girls.

It’s really terrible. We need to handcuff him and throw him in jail as soon as possible.

“…Excuse me. Lady Aln. I was surprised that you seemed to have become more beautiful than before. Every movement was so cute that I almost lost my mind.”

“Why didn’t you just lose your mind and go away? It would have been more helpful to the world if I just hit my head on the ground and rolled over.”

“Haha. That can’t be possible. Because I still have a mission to spread the world about Lady Ae’s beauty.”

“I really hope it goes away soon.”

Despite my rant, the perverted apostle did not erase his grin.

It really sucks. What can I do to repay this guy for what he’s been through? I can’t really come up with an answer because he’s the guy who laughs it off and says that even if I curse the goddess, it’s okay if it’s me.

“So what’s going on here? If you came here because of the last story, you may not be ready yet.”

“Don’t worry. Because I don’t have this much interest in a devilish pervert like you.”

“Then.”

“I came to visit this orc woman here.”

Geomseong shrugs his shoulders at the mention of an orc woman.

“Me. Lady Aln. I don’t think I’m good enough to listen to orc girls.”

As Geomseong said out of frustration, her appearance is quite good. She is a female NPC who is one of the strongest characters in the game and has a personal story, so she can’t possibly have a monstrous appearance, right?

“The story is that it looks like an oak inside, not on the outside. You are a monster-like person who should not enter human society.”

“…Uh.”

“Seeing how you got upset as soon as the words came out, I guess there’s a part of you that pricks me? Haha. If you’re going to use your hair as a decoration, wear something pretty. Why did you pick up the top and bottom from the trash?”

Every time I say a word, the Sword Saint’s face becomes more and more red. As if to prove that the provocation is clearly working.

In fact, it shouldn’t be like this. I have to ask the Sword Saint for cooperation, so there is no need to make her angry.

But strangely, every time I raise my voice, I can’t stop thinking about stabbing her with my words.

“Good thing you followed me. It almost caused an uproar.”

While I was thinking about where to stab the sword, hoping it would pop out, I heard a voice from behind me.

Caria suddenly appeared, hurriedly stepping in between me and the Sword Saint, and spreading out her hands.

“Long time no see. Even if I say that, I can’t remember. It’s been almost ten years since I last saw your face?”

“No. I remember. Karia. Because you are not an easy person to forget.”

It’s “. I never thought the Sword Saint would remember the little things from the back world. It’s an honor.”

The Sword Saint was noticeably reluctant towards Caria.

It was incomprehensible to me.

Currently, Karia has lost most of her former power. So, if you are a swordsman, you have no reason to be afraid of Caria. When the swordsman saw Caria’s smile, he took a step back.

“I heard that you recently returned after hiding for a long time, but I never thought I would see you like this.”

“Don’t worry. Because I have no business with Sword Saint. I hurriedly followed my employer and the Sword Saint because I felt like something would explode if I left them alone.”

Many of Karia’s words were out of context, but instead of feeling embarrassed after hearing them, Geomseong chewed his lips.

“How on earth did you read my thoughts? I hid all my facial expressions and actions.”

“Haha. I can’t tell you that. I don’t have the same power or connections as before, so I can’t even unlock trade secrets, right?”

“…”

“If you feel uncomfortable with me, just quietly listen to what your employer has to say. That way we can break up quickly.”

“I understand. A conversation with Lady Arlen was something I had hoped for, too. I am willing to accept it.”

As soon as the Sword Saint nods, Caria slowly turns her head towards the perverted apostle. The perverted apostle, who was staring at me blankly, belatedly noticed Karia’s gaze and hurriedly opened his mouth.

“Could you please guide me to the reception room?”

*

Sword Saint Yuden faced the girl sitting on a chair with her legs crossed.

The girl, who was glaring at Yuden with her chin resting, was so beautiful that anyone would be amazed.

What’s so bad is that when he first saw the girl, he would have thought that even the apostles of the Yuden Art Church could not capture that beauty perfectly.

However, if you erase that admiration and look at the girl again, you see other things.

This is a medal that only those who have devoted their lives to nothing can obtain.

It’s incredibly beautiful to be born under a monster. Does she have the talent to prove that she is the daughter of that monster?

It’s just like the assessment Rasha made before. I can understand why that crazy bitch was drooling because she was looking forward to growing up.

If it weren’t for just me, I would have asked you if you wanted to learn how to use a sword.

“Hey. Orc girl,”

…okay. If it weren’t for this damn guy’s tone.

Yuden furrowed her brows at the tone that touched her nerves, but she did her best to suppress her irritation as she met the gaze of Karia next to her.

“What is it?”

“Before we get into the main topic, I have something to ask you. How can an orc with an empty brain like you know about our idiot Papa?”

“How could you not know such an outstanding warrior as Sir Benedick Alln?”

“Do you really wear it as a headdress? Don’t you understand that I didn’t mean that to ask?”

When Yuden closed his mouth at Lucy’s harsh tone, Caria smiled mischievously.

“Ah. I can explain that.”

“Ajumma?”

“Then. This is me in my prime.”

“Caria. Please stop. I will say it with my own mouth.”

It’s been over ten years since I stopped working, but that damn shady personality still remains.

That’s why that person is annoying. They always hide their true feelings, but they reveal other people’s true feelings at random.

Yuden let out a long sigh, tilted his neck back and looked at the ceiling.

“Lady Aln. To conclude in advance, the relationship between me and Sir Benedick Arn is close to a one-sided admiration.”

Yuden was not a swordsman from the beginning.

If we were to be honest, she was far from being a sword saint in the past. How could a person who pioneered the path of the sword using only his own talent without having a proper teacher become a sword master?

It is true that Yuden was born with amazing talent, but that did not mean he was at a level where he could move forward alone, passing through the accumulated history of the sword.

Since she didn’t really want anything more, she would have remained a mediocre powerhouse.

The first reason Yuden changed was a monster he encountered by chance.

She was hired as a mercenary and stood on the battlefield when she saw a human-shaped monster running rampant in the distance.

The sword of the rampaging monster, carrying a large sword the size of an adult man, was crude and rough.

To be honest, there was a big difference from the direction of the sword Yuden was pursuing.

Nevertheless, Yuden was overwhelmed by the monster’s sword.

If I were to stand in front of you, would I be able to endure it? Can you take that sword? Can you overcome that sword?

Yuden’s talent immediately answered her questions.

It’s impossible.

She, who is nothing but a mercenary, cannot surpass that sword.

She experienced with her own eyes what overwhelming force was like, and as soon as her mercenary work was over, she used the money she had earned so far to visit various sword fighting studios.

Until you can imagine yourself standing in front of a monster’s sword.

Learn the sword.

work to make money

Learn swordsmanship from another place.

Working as an adventurer.

continue. continue. continue.

Then, it occurred to me that I could not only stand in front of the monster’s sword, but also fight him and win. Yuden had become a being called the Sword Saint.

“Then, now you can go see the idiot Papa. Even if she’s a stupid girl whose brains are questionable, she’s a sword star, so stupid daddy will meet her, right?”

When Lucy, who was quietly listening to the story, showed some confusion, Yuden pursed his lips. Lucy’s eyes narrow as if she can’t speak with her own mouth.

“I’m asking just in case. Aren’t you just looking for an excuse because you’re so embarrassed to go see stupid Papa first? Haha. Even when I think about it, it doesn’t make sense. There is no way an orc woman with an empty brain could think like a girl like that.”

“What’s wrong with me being a little shy!? It’s an object of admiration! Lord Benedict!”

When Yuden, whose face turned red, screamed, Lucy, who had blinked, soon burst into laughter.

Yuden’s eyes grew fierce at the sight of Lucy shaking her legs and cackling as if it was genuinely funny, but Lucy showed no sign of stopping her laughter.

Lucy, who had shed tears after laughing for so long, wiped her eyes and let out a laugh-filled voice.

“Let me tell you in advance, it would be better not to have false illusions. Stupid Papa’s tastes are so far away from an orc girl like you.”

“Thank you so much for pointing out a fact that I already know..”

“What. I won’t tell you to give up. Because I want to see you dragging your feet because your expectations were betrayed.”

“…Advice. Let’s keep it in your ears.”

“There’s no need to do that. You’ll forget everything after a day anyway, so what’s the point?”

“My intelligence is not that low.”

“Okay?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Then, I’ll give you real advice. Orc girl. Find an idiot who will embrace you for being so pathetic and stupid and not even remotely feminine. Umm. for example. Trash like a perverted professor.”

“Who is the perverted professor?”

When Yuden expressed a question about the name that suddenly came out of Lucy’s mouth, Caria answered it on Lucy’s behalf.

“It’s a professor named Luca. You probably know Geomseong well, right?”

“Are you talking about the Luca I know?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

As Karia nods, Yuden laughs.

“Ha. That guy is going through a lot too. I can’t believe I have to teach classes to nobles with such monstrous personalities. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do it.”

Her tone when mentioning Luca was full of affection for him.
