Chapter 134: Meeting the Sword Saint ①

Translated by AmaLynne

A week has passed in the blink of an eye since Hanae started living at Count Walker’s house.

Although she does not show her emotions very much, she seems to be surprisingly sociable and soon became friendly with the members of the Count’s family.

Lise was friendly from the first meeting, and so were the other sisters.

Alicia, being of the same sex, conversed with them without caution.

Hanae was indeed surprised to see Alicia riding on a baby dragon, but after a while she, too, was allowed to ride on the back of the dragon.

Erica also like her since they had a handshake.

Erica honestly accepted and respected Hanae, who had shown more than sufficient ability as Magnolia’s granddaughter, the leading court wizard.

At the same time, there was something about the way she looked at Sam with a hint of melancholy, saying,「Sam, you’re in a lot of trouble, too.」

Jonathan and Grace are treated like their own children, not as guests, but as Sam’s fiancée, the same as their daughter.

Everyone in the Count Walker family is a good person.

If this were any other family, they might even view Hanae as Lise’s rival, but there was not the slightest hint of such an atmosphere in the Countess Walker family.

While living such a life, Günther shows up and says,「I should be treated as an equal!」and Stella sent a letter from the palace saying,「I would like to live there too…but I don’t want to inconvenience you, so I’ll just have to put up with it.」

She has continued to study, but has reduced the amount and started to leave her room.

She seems to be actively meeting with her parents and cherishing family time, which she had been holding back until now.

Sam’s daily life did not change much.

He continues to train martial arts while flirting with Lise. Recently, he has been training with Hanae, and they have been practicing together more and more often.

In terms of simple martial arts alone, Sam was not as good as Hanae.

Even when he used body enhancement magic, he was repeatedly defeated because of the difference in their martial arts.

However, even so, Hanae did not judge Sam to be weaker than her.

With swords, Lise and Hanae’s abilities were very close.

Neither of them was at their best, but they never settled and always drew.

If Liese were serious and Hanae use magic, they would have been able to settle the matter, but they had no intention of doing so.

Through exchanging swords, Lise and Hanae were able to get to know each other quite well.

Sam also had a lot to learn from Hanae, who pointed out that he had been relying on magic power and gave him advice on how to improve, which helped him to grow one step more.

From then on, he studied martial arts in the mornings, focusing on hand-to-hand combat, and in the afternoons, he trained in magic.

In the evenings, he plays with the baby dragon and talks with Alicia about other things.

At dinner time, he talked with Erika and Jonathan, and in the evening, he spent a sweet time with Lise.

One day at noon, when he was somewhat satisfied with such a daily routine.

Liese, who had finished her morning training and was wiping off her sweat, called out to Sam, who was out of breath.

「Hey, Sam.」

「Yes.」

As they sipped the cold lemon water that the maid had prepared for them, Hanae handed them both glasses.

Lise thanked Sam for the drink and continued speaking to him as she quenched her thirst.

「I told you before that I was Sword Saint-sama disciple, didn’t I?」

「Of course, I remember.」

He has heard before that Lise is a disciple of『Sword Saint』who holds the title of being the best swordsman in the kingdom.

Sam does not know what kind of person the Swordsman is, but he does know that Lise respects him.

「I want to inform my engagement with Sam, as he has been a great help to me. He has been taking care of me for the past two years.」

Apparently, Sword Saint was concerned about Lise, who was divorced.

If Sam remembers correctly, Lise’s ex-husband was also a disciple of Sword Saint, just like her.

Perhaps that is why Sword Saint was so concerned about Lise.

「Yes, I think it’s a good thing. Then let’s go say hello.」

「Sam will you go with me?」

「Of course. I’m the one who’s going to marry Lise-sama, so if I don’t go, who will?」

「Thank you…」

「I don’t think it’s something you should be thanking me for.」

(I thought it was an invitation to go and say hello, but I guess Lise-sama was planning to go by herself?)

「I want to go, too.」

「Hanae-sama?」

「I have always been interested in the strength of Sword Saint. If I could meet him, I would.」

Lise smiles at Hanae, who raises her hand and says she wants to tag along.

「Then the three of us will go together.」

「Un. Thanks.」

Sam wonders if it’s okay for her to go with him.

(Taking your fiancée and her prospective fiancée to report on your engagement? Ah, but is it okay because Hanae-sama is not my fiancée? Huh? I don’t know.)

After much deliberation, he decided not to worry about the details.

Since Lise says it’s okay, it must be okay.

(Sword Saint…I thought he had nothing to do with me who couldn’t use a sword, but I never thought I’d meet him in this way. I wonder what kind of person he is.)

Sam was also interested in the Sword Saint, though not as much as Hanae.
