A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 227



Only Noblemtl

Episode 227. Hero!

By the time we were far away from the stadium.

Late, the sound of the second prince getting angry was heard.

A furious voice ordering people to chase after me.

The noise that was heard at first sounded like a child’s belated complaint.

It’s already too late and there’s nothing you can do about it, so you’re just a loser who keeps yelling because things aren’t going the way you want them to.

Oh my.

To become a prince of a country and not grow up to be mature.

Of course, you can find out my identity through investigation, even if it’s late, but so what?

The Sherwoods are not the ones to fear the rotten royal family.

If there were a royal knight like the Knight of the Cold in the Kingdom of Blake, it would be quite daunting, but there is no such great knight in the royal family of Maia.

Those people have already gone north and are guarding the north wall.

Anyway, the important thing is that I will never get caught by them.

I went over the high wall to District 3 and got down into a deserted alley.

Then he stared blankly at the pitch-black sword he had brought.

Indeed, it had an antique charm that made it seem like no ordinary sword.

“This is… a pitch-black sword?”

The dark blade was clean, without any stains or flaws.

A strange energy was felt from the blade that was as black as the night sky.

What kind of metal is it made of?

“Master. Didn’t someone jump into your mind?”

[Well, I haven’t heard anything yet. I was kind of looking forward to it.]

“What a strange fellow. How can his sword be so flawlessly black?”

[That’s right. It doesn’t seem to be a normal metal.]

“Oh, it’s too bad I didn’t bring the scabbard.”

While I was fiddling with the sword and examining it, the Sherwood guys arrived at the alley where I was.

Dauphin was the first to come up to me, and he started laughing and patting my back.

“This crazy guy! He knows how to fly to the sky now? How much of a surprise can he make?”

I muttered as I was hit on the back.

“It’s not me, it’s the one running.”

“That’s it!”

“I can’t use it for long either. I’m not used to it yet. I need to catch it and train myself to improve it.”

“Hahaha! You’re saying that you’re not used to it yet? Once I get used to it, I’ll go and touch the clouds!”

Dauphin kept smiling and patting my back, wondering what was so good about it.

Schmidt also looked at me with wide eyes and moved his hands wildly.

He seemed very excited.

―Brother! Brother! How on earth did you do that? Was it magic? It was just running through the sky!

I just chuckled.

“Schmidt.”

-yes?

“It’s my brother.”

“… … !”

Schmidt looked at me with his eyes sparkling brightly.

Ah, is that the look of admiration?

It really sparkles.

This time Linda jumped up and down while holding my hand.

“Devil! Can you carry me and fly across the sky? I want to fly too!”

“Really? Do you want to hang on for a while?”

“huh!”

Linda hung on like a squirrel.

“Um… It’s still too heavy, so I can’t do it.”

Linda immediately stepped onto the ground and looked up at me.

“Ouch! Am I heavy?”

“Comparatively? You have to make your body as light as a feather to use the Black Ship. Once you get used to it and your level is high, I’ll carry you.”

“Okay! Got it!”

Only then did Dauphin look at the black sword in my hand.

“Black? Is it real?”

“I’m going to check it now.”

I took a deep breath and held the sword handle properly.

I gently poured the energy that started from my danjeon through my palm.

yes-

The sword cried slightly… … .

Something was slowly coming off the sword.

It looked like black ash, or like black fog.

“Huh? Why is this guy like this?”

As I lifted the bastard up once while holding it, black ash scattered like feathers.

I muttered as I looked at the sight.

“Was this the original effect?”

It looked quite different from what was in that William’s hands.

Linda clapped her hands with joy like a child seeing snow for the first time, and Schmidt watched the sight with wide eyes.

Dauphin looked at the black something fluttering like the first snow and exclaimed in admiration.

“Hey… I don’t know what it is, but it’s cool. So, is it the pitch-black sword?”

I glanced at the bracelet.

It didn’t make a rattling noise or emit any light like when I first held Vlad.

Just as silent as death.

I took a quick look inside the bracelet, and there was still a single red band that Vlad had drawn, glowing brightly.

I said, clicking my tongue.

“It’s not light.”

“Well, I see. It was a lie.”

Dauphin muttered while looking at the sword.

“But it doesn’t seem like an ordinary sword?”

“That’s true. He doesn’t seem like an ordinary guy.”

“Brother, would you please hold that and try to get in a good position?”

At Dauphin’s request, I did the same shit poses William did on the pitch.

“how is it?”

Linda clapped her hands.

“Wow, you devil. You’re really a merciless person!”

Schmidt also rounded his mouth and raised his thumb.

The Dauphin observed me from a few steps back, then nodded, caressing his chin.

“Little brother.”

“huh?”

“That sword. It suits my little brother really well. He can use it.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. I’m not just talking nonsense. It’s like a sword born for my brother. Was it William earlier? It’s too bad for him. Let’s take this opportunity to buy a good sword.”

I scratched my neck, holding up the pitch-black sword, which was as black as the night sky, to the sunlight.

“A good sword, but not so good.”

“why?”

“Why? Because you’ll end up relying on the sword that much. Won’t you become lazy in your training?”

“… … ? My brother is the first one to say something like that.”

Cheonma laughed quietly.

[Worrying is also a matter of course. Do you know why the experts are looking for good soldiers and new recruits?]

“well?”

[Because an ordinary person can’t properly handle his own energy and will soon break or shatter. He searches for a sturdy weapon that can withstand his strength. What would he do if his sword suddenly broke in the middle of an important battle?]

“hmm.”

[Of course, there is nothing more foolish than those without skills putting off training and only coveting good weapons. Those who have reached a certain level all wander the world in search of weapons that suit them.]

“Hmm.”

[The more famous a swordsman is, the more picky he is about his tools. The greatsword used by the man named Guston is similar. Have you seen it without a single scratch despite your full-force strike?]

“Was it like that?”

[It has to be at least that long to withstand the man’s hands without breaking or cracking. He must have broken countless weapons before he got his hands on that greatsword.]

“aha.”

[It’s not easy for experts who have reached a certain level to show their true skills while holding ordinary weapons. It may not matter when fighting against small groups of people, but wouldn’t it be different if the opponent is a strong opponent who requires all their strength?]

“Hmm. That makes sense.”

Cheonma gave me some advice.

[Shouldn’t you carry a proper sword instead of a half-sword? You don’t have to light a half-sword every time. I don’t know what it’s made of, but it looks pretty sturdy. It should hold up to your energy for a while.]

I muttered as I turned the sword, which boasted a pitch-black blade, over and over again.

“Does that mean it’s a pretty good sword?”

[It’s no different from the silver sword you usually carry around, split in half.]

“Oh?”

[As your colleague said, it suits you well.]

“Does the sword’s aura or personality suit me well?”

[No, I just think the colors go well together.]

“ah.”

I muttered as I gently swept the black cotton.

“Pass. You will come with me from today.”

Dauphin, who had been silently watching the conversation between me and Cheonma, intervened.

“Brother, have you decided on a name?”

“name?”

“A great sword deserves a great name.”

“The name of the sword is… … .”

I thought about it for a while and then gave the guy an appropriate name.

“I will name it the Night Sky Sword.”

“Huh. Why is that?”

“The sword is as dark as the night sky, and the flowing energy is similar to my wild sky, so it’s just right. Isn’t that right, Master?”

Cheonma said as if he was surprised.

[Why do you come up with such a normal name?]

“Master, I know how to come up with a cool name too.”

[The names of the seasons are strangely named.]

“… … .”

I put the Wild Sword that was mine on my belt, and realized that it had no scabbard.

At this moment, Dauphin threw something.

Tub.

When I received it, I saw that it was a pitch-black scabbard that fit the Yacheon Sword perfectly.

I looked at Dauphin with surprised eyes, and he chuckled.

“I knew that would happen, so I went and got it for you.”

I also looked at him and smiled.

“As expected of Do-hyung. No one can stand up to him when it comes to stealing.”

At this moment, an unfamiliar presence was felt at the end of the alley.

Before I could say anything, Dauphin and Schmidt also turned their heads in that direction like lightning.

Linda just tilted her head and looked at us with a sudden change in her gaze.

A man was walking down a deserted alley, holding a girl in one hand.

He seemed to be slightly out of breath, panting.

“Gasp… Gasp… I barely caught up.”

“Mr. Mond. What are you going to do if you’re just pant for so long? Are you going to be my guardian? You’re too lazy. Get some physical exercise!”

“What should I do with the princess’s heavy weight— Ah! Don’t pinch me!”

“What? You just mentioned the weight of the noble princess? Eight! Eight!”

“Ah! Ah! I told you not to pinch me. What if I drop the princess?”

“If you drop it, Kyung’s neck will fall off with it! Just drop it anywhere!”

“Ah! I told you to stop pinching me.”

“… … .”

I stared blankly at the two people who suddenly appeared in the alley.

A man with brown hair who somehow looks cool and a girl with a cloth over her head who is held in his arms.

More than their appearance, attention was drawn to their conversation.

Because there was a word that caught my ear.

“……princess?”

Before I could say anything, Dauphin came out.

“Oh? This is a familiar face. If you’re happy to see me, then it’s a happy face.”

The knight holding the girl frowned.

“I thought I would never see you again.”

The girl called princess pinched his cheek like that.

“Mr. Monde. Don’t frown. You look scary.”

“Ouch. Okay, Princess, so go ahead.”

Dauphin muttered as he walked towards them.

“Guardian Knight Sir Monde and his princess… … A princess comes to mind for some reason. Is it the cute and adorable princess I know?”

As Dauphin approached him, Monde frowned but did not stop him or step back.

Dauphin, who had approached with a groan, let out an exclamation as he gently lifted the cloth covering the face of the girl in his arms.

“Aha, so you are indeed our noble Princess Lilia Adrian Maia!”

The girl covered in cloth laughed out loud.

“Long time no see, Dauphin. How have you been?”

“Yes. I have been well. How is our princess?”

“I’ve been doing well too. I had a hard time holding back laughter when Dauphin told me he stole his mother’s tiara. Dauphin wouldn’t even look at a tiara.”

Dauphin smiled.

“Oh. It’s a good thing the princess is tight-lipped. Otherwise, the world’s greatest thief, Dauphin, would have lost his livelihood. Hahaha!”

I looked at the thief and the princess, who were talking properly with blank expressions on their faces.

“What is this… … .”

Dauphin looked back at me with a smile, as if he had heard my muttering.

“Ah, little sister. It may be hard to believe, but you really are the princess. It seems you have come out on an undercover mission.”

At this moment, the princess tapped the Dauphin on the shoulder.

“I, Dauphin.”

“Yes, go ahead, Princess.”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, I see.”

The Dauphin stepped aside, waving his arms as if imitating a nobleman, and the princess, who had come down from Monde’s arms, walked towards me with heavy steps.

Naturally, Schmidt and Linda stepped aside, and soon the princess was standing in front of me, looking up at me.

“Hero!”

“… … Warrior?”

“Will you save our kingdom of Maya?”

The princess’s eyes, as she spoke, were sparkling with an unknown light.
