??? Ronia Mountain Passage—the mountainous road our protagonist had just traversed. Many travelers went through it back and fro, as it was the main connecting route between the west and east region of the southern Holy Empire. Most travelers would either walk by foot or travel on board of carriages and stagecoaches, with a few riding horses, mostly couriers and …

Oh, my poor bread… just left on its own without me even getting a bite… We promptly returned to our picnic spot where, thankfully, none of the food we left there had been touched by any wild animals. Once we all sat down, Fiora, as I had expected, started her scolding. “You really are a piece of work, aren’t you?” …

We remained on top of the carriage like that for several more hours, with me performing the same basic slashing moves over and over again. Like she said, she didn’t offer to correct my posture directly anymore. Instead, she just barked it at me. And what a harsh mistress she was. Any single diversion from the form the book described, …

Hugo When I finished reading the book, it was already a few hours into our travels. And what a book it was. It pretty much taught me about swordsmanship in this world far more than Father. Even though it was just an introduction, intended for beginners, it was so detailed about everything, from the history of the school, the beginner …

“I-I can’t tell you that,” Glinda replied, still all red from my question. “It’s all stories of the past anyways.” “…Is it something relating to love?” I only made such a brazen hypothesis because of her blush. I knew very well what that blush was. It was the blush of a girl in love, even if she was far too …

We ended up sleeping through the afternoon, only waking up when it was time for our dinner, thanks to our maids. Just like Alec told us, Glinda had already arrived from the castle, and she was willing to talk with us over dinner. Or, to be exact, we were woken up one hour before dinner, as they wanted to bathe …

Our trip to the capital, Ortessa, took us just under a month or so. The road there wasn’t easy. Multiple times we were assaulted by bandits or monsters. Unlike the Magocracy, Marchen’s roads didn’t seem to be as well-maintained as it could be. I dispatched them easily however, by just summoning my owlbear. I didn’t even need to cast any …

Marina “That idiot! He should’ve asked me for help or something! Aren’t we friends anymore?” The man currently in front of me slammed his fist to the table, causing the entire thing to shake. A mixture of grief and anger were displayed on his face. He was none other than Baron Eriol. I had decided to give him a visit in the …

“-oy!” “Boy!” “Wake up, boy!” The next morning, I was woken up rudely by none other than the Imperial Princess herself, yelling as if she was an angry mother waking up her child for school. “Urghh…” My eyes fluttered open, glancing to the side to see her all too familiar face glaring at me as if I had made a …

“I still don’t get it. How did you end up with someone like her?” We were now back inside the tavern, eating together on the very same corner table Nicole and Fiora used a while ago. Fiora and her maid weren’t around however. They had retired back to their own room, perhaps taking their own meal there. After making sure that …
