Episode 24. Isn’t the expression “bitch” bad if you think of it as an expression of affection?

-This is a swordsmanship created by an unknown swordsman in the past when he wielded a sword made of obsidian.

-The sword was created in the hope that it would be safer rather than destructive.

– Compared to other sword techniques, its destructive power is low.

-However, it is a sword technique suited to an obsidian sword like ‘Salieri’.

-It is not suitable for Deus.

The black sword technique engraved on Deus was not bad.

To be honest, it is a sword-friendly swordsmanship that I think can be called ideal. A sword technique that seeks safety rather than injury. Of course, because of this, it shows an overwhelming difference in attack power compared to snow swordsmanship, which focuses on destructive power.

At least it was covered up by the unique sharpness of obsidian.

That also had its limits. If your opponent is a swordsman with ordinary swordsmanship and an ordinary sword, you can win with Salieri and black swordsmanship.

But an unusual sword or unusual swordsmanship.

It was difficult to beat someone who had either one of them. As a hero, unless you cover it with magic power, it doesn’t solve the essential problem.

It must have been difficult to succeed as a prosecutor.

“Well, it’s not that I don’t understand.”

If I were the person who created this sword technique, I would make the same choice.

Even if you become a great swordsman, if the sword used for swordsmanship is destroyed, not only will it be meaningless, but you will not be able to bear the sadness of the sword leaving.

yes.

That worry is something that only Salieri would worry about.

It cannot be broken by the power of the skill ‘Overcoming the Limits of Birth’. In addition, Deus, who had the durability of the minerals he consumed, completely crossed the line of becoming a famous sword.

If you ingest Orharicon, which is famous for being the hardest mineral in the world, or even Mithril, which has the power of a god… It’s literally the end.

In theory, the sharpest thing in the world.

An indomitable sword with the power of obsidian and the cutting power of a molecular level. Just imagining it gives me goosebumps.

“Then I guess I should change my swordsmanship to match that.”

There was no need to be too kind to Deus.

What you need is the aggressiveness to move forward and a technique that suits your current body.

I chuckled at the solution’s words. It was definitely as he said. Until now, there have been many times when we have borrowed the power of Eclay’s solutions from management to strategy, but not like this.

The creation of swordsmanship.

I made it clear that I had to figure out how to deal with them with my own hands.

To the extent possible, he only assists. Understanding the solution’s words, which seemed to say that I was only a supporting role, I practiced black sword swordmanship, recalling the memories in my head rather than the power of the skill.

*****

A corner of the training ground.

From basic physical training to sword maintenance. A bitch who has completed all her schedules. Olivia looked at Daeyang Park, who was practicing swordsmanship in the center of the training ground.

Whilick-!!

“… .”

The dark attitude he deals with.

It was a black sword that should have been in the hands of Instructor Iari.

Even if it is a similar two-handed sword, it is a sword technique that is used in a way that is different from that of Eclay. In addition, you have to use a completely different sword technique with the special feature of cold.

“Why is it perfect?”

Park Dae-yang’s swordsmanship was perfect.

In some ways, it could be seen as incomplete. Because every time I swung the sword, the swordsmanship I thought was perfect became even more perfect.

It makes you want to doubt your own eyes.

I found myself admiring every time the swordsmanship I thought was perfect was transformed into something more suitable for a sword.

“At first… .”

Until I first met Park Dae-yang, I was Ahn Ha-muin.

Even if I said it kindly, I thought he was a pretentious brat. But that assessment had to be revised.

bully… It may not be wrong in that regard, but it is wrong in the fact that it is Anhamuin. Rather, the person who had that meaning was himself.

I looked at the Bolino in my hand.

Just a few weeks ago, I hated the fact that I had to use a sword like this.

Compared to the past when the Eclay was used, it is a very insignificant one-handed sword. Let alone my special ability, I hated the sword because it had been neglected for a long time.

Having to handle such a crude sword.

Flamberge is not even a great sword, let alone a sword that is difficult to handle.

I just hated it endlessly.

“Ha… .”

I accepted because I had the hope that even if I gave in, I would be able to hold Eclay again someday.

It’s been a long time since I gave up that hope.

It’s been a month since Eclay was taken away. There were many things I felt while sharpening the sword called Bolino every day. And I realized it clearly.

Ah, no matter what I do, Eclay will never come back to me.

The sword changes every day. Even if you take care of it diligently for a week, the moment you miss even a day, a mark will remain on the sword. It wasn’t as ruined as when I first met Bolino, but I could definitely feel it changing.

Just one day.

Let alone 24 hours, I just forgot to take care of it while I was awake overnight.

The sword reported its neglect to its owner. But the people of the Snow family have not lived in just one day, not a week, not even a month… It was neglected for hundreds of years.

I averted my eyes from the sight of the sword, which would become noticeable if it was not maintained for just one night.

The more I remembered how he was taught to think of himself as a god and at the same time be taught to treat him as an object, the more I understood Eclay’s feelings.

“Even if it were me, I don’t think I would want to come back.”

Who would want to come back?

If there had been at least one good memory, I would have appealed to affection, but there was not a single good memory between Olivia and Eclay.

This much I could say with certainty.

After seeing Park Dae-yang taking care of the sword, I felt it while taking care of the sword myself.

Eclay couldn’t like Olivia Snow.

Rather, I should say thank you to the point where I didn’t hate it.

“… Is this roughly what it feels like?”

In the blink of an eye, something changed again. I couldn’t even smile anymore at the sight of Park Dae-yang becoming a more beautiful Geomro.

Even respect rose.

“Wow, this is ridiculous.”

This is absurd. Beyond this, Olivia was not confident in expressing her feelings.

I looked at Park Dae-yang, who was raising his black sword and making a satisfied expression. Laughter arose at the faint emotion rising between respect.

It was a feeling that I would have denied in the past.

He probably shook his head, saying that it was too much of an emotion to give to Park Dae-yang, convinced that there was no way he could ever harbor such feelings for a man like that.

But for a short period of time, like a month.

Olivia knew her subject.

Himself who was praised as a nobleman, himself who was recognized as a contractor of Ego Sword, and himself who called himself a swordsman.

It was all meaningless.

In the end, it was nothing more than a doll mask created to only care about other people’s opinions.

“Hey! bitch!! I’m going to go eat soon, so follow me!!”

“… .”

Still, I wondered what the expression ‘bitch’ would be like.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I allowed you to call me by my name?

I thought about it, but ultimately answered that Olivia was a bitch.

“What are you going to eat?”

“Is there anything else besides academics?”

Olivia thought for a moment after hearing Park Dae-yang’s words.

Now that I think about it, I have never eaten with Daeyang Park. My family sent me a subsidy so that I didn’t need the education that the school provided for free.

There was no need for free meals.

All you have to do is go to a restaurant and buy something.

“… What do you eat at Haksik?”

“You have to go and decide that! If I had to say it, I would choose one of the exercise foods and eat it!! Especially bitches! Since you are in worse shape than the other guys, I can make you a customized diet?”

When I first heard it, the tone seemed nothing but vulgar.

Now I can feel the kindness inside. The part about creating a customized meal plan especially made Olivia smile.

Yeah, I still don’t like the derogatory term “bitch.”

As long as I hold that leash from over there, I will be able to stay by Park Dae-yang’s side.

“I see. It’s a diet that you make… I want to try it at least once.”

“He was so crazy about having to always eat at a restaurant. What’s going on?”

It might just be a whim. Tomorrow morning, he may burn his hostility toward Daeyang Park again, or he may get angry and say he wants Eclay back.

But today.

One day, I was able to look at Park Dae-yang normally.

“… Is it because of the chastity belt?”

Oh, let me correct this.

Rather than looking at today as a day, I was able to look at it as normal until a second ago.

“No!?”
