"I've kept you waiting for a long time, Your Majesty the Sword Master~"

Early in the morning, a strange voice belonging to Roswaal sounded under the house. Duen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his sword in his arms all night, yawned and ignored it.

Beside, Rem, who had just woken up and still looked confused, suddenly came over and hugged Du En.

"Mother!"

Hearing the murmur from Rem's mouth, Duen muttered.

"I would rather you call me daddy."

"Haha, Your Majesty the Sword Master's hobby is really special."

Seeing the funny face that suddenly appeared at the window, Du En shook his hand and slashed towards Roswaal with a burst of sword energy.

Perhaps he had expected Du En's reaction, and several layers of magic shields appeared in front of him, but how could Du En's frightened slashes be so easy to resist?

The thick magic shield was like paper. It was shattered by Du En's sword energy. At the critical moment, Roswaal showed a powerful reaction speed that was not inferior to that of a martial artist. Only then did the sword energy cut him into pieces.

Before the two halves, we avoided danger after danger.

"Uh-huh, it's really dangerous. I almost died here."

"So, as a lord, are you free enough to come and spy on other people's housework?"

Duen snorted dissatisfiedly. Du En had no intention of apologizing at all. He could not show the slightest bit of timidity to certain people, even if the other party was a noble with the title of earl.

What's more, Du En has no reason to be timid. The other party's strength is far inferior to his own, so it's not him who should apologize.

"Sorry, I was too presumptuous."

Despite his funny makeup and tone of voice, Roswaal was worthy of his noble name in terms of etiquette.

After hearing Roswaal's apology, Du En's face turned pale and he asked in a calm voice.

"So, why did you come to see me so early in the morning?"

Hearing what Du En said, a smile suddenly appeared on Roswaal's face.

"Didn't I tell you before? I will tell Master Sword Master your information about the Witch Cult. If you don't mind, please come to my mansion."

"Mansion?"

Although he wanted to refuse, he was attacked by the Witch Cult. Du En realized that it was not safe to stay in such an ordinary village. He gave it up. If a critical moment came, he might not be able to protect Rem.

As for the Earl's residence, Roswaal's mansion is definitely safer than the ordinary house they live in now.

Although Roswaal may not be trustworthy, he is at least the count of the kingdom. With this status, he should not dare to act too randomly.

perhaps.

"I understand. I will ask you for detailed information after arriving at the mansion. In addition to this child, I will also be traveling with my friend Elsa. It should be fine."

"Friends?"

After hearing what Du En said, an interesting smile appeared on Roswaal's lips.

"The friend the Sword Master mentioned is the one who has been staying at the door since just now, right?"

Glancing at Elsa, who didn't know when she appeared at the gate, Du En nodded.

"That's right, I hope you can help them arrange a place to live. Also, don't call me Sword Master. This title sounds weird. This is just a rhetoric I use to appease the villagers. If I want to become a real Sword Master, I

It’s not qualified yet.”

If it were the real Musashi, he might be able to bear the name of Sword Master, but Duen, who inherited Musashi's body and memory, didn't think he was qualified to be called such.

"Haha, I thought you were planning to challenge the Astraea family to seize the title of Sword Master."

After hearing Roswaal's words, Du En curled his lips and said rudely: "That little guy's hair has not even grown. It would be too much for me to bully him if I took action. At least wait until he grows up."

When Duen said these words, Lenharut, who was far away in the royal capital, suddenly sneezed, causing Julius on the side to cast a concerned look.

"Lenharut, are you okay? Do you have a cold?"

He touched his nose with a gentle smile on his face.

"No, that's probably not the case. I haven't been sick much since I was a child. But you, have you collected the money you owe that adult?"

Julius blushed immediately when Lenharut asked him this question.

"How is it possible to get it all together? That's a hundred gold coins!"

Because of Du En's voice two months ago, the entire Knight Guards now know that he owes the swordsman who killed the white whale money, and the amount is not small.

"Then you should hurry up. The gentleman who escorted Kalalaki's caravan back to Kalalaki a month and a half ago should be back now."

Hearing Reinhardt's words, Julius muttered: "You are already such a famous swordsman, why do you have to escort the caravan to such a far place, and it is said that the reward is only seven gold coins."

"Isn't your inquiry very clear? But maybe this is what we should learn from."

As long as a promise is made, even if the reward is low, it should be completed seriously.

Thinking back to the scene when they first met that day, that heroic figure had long been imprinted in his mind.

As if sensing his master's inner thoughts, the dragon sword that had been pinned to Reinhardt's waist made a slight vibration sound.

"Just wait a little longer, I have a feeling that the day of fighting her will come soon."

I just hope that when the time comes, it will not be as an enemy.

Looking at the family crest belonging to the Astraea family in his arms, Reinhardt was speechless for a moment.

When Reinhardt and other guards knights were on duty, Dun also brought Rem and Elsa to the mansion where Roswaal lived.

It has to be said that the life of the noble class is corrupt. The mansion Du En bought in the royal capital is already quite big, but compared with Roswaal's, it pales into insignificance.

For the arrival of Du En and others, Roswaal gave him the highest standard of treatment. When he saw a dozen maids standing and greeting him respectfully as the mansion door opened, Du En's fragile heart was suddenly frightened.

Fortunately, he had seen many strong winds and waves. When the King of the Royal Capital invited him, the maids along the way saw a lot of them, which made Du En become sullen.

As a homebody, I dream of living in a big mansion one day and being taken care of by a group of ladies in maid uniforms.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, Du En felt a strange fluctuation of magic power.

Then, the door of the room closest to the main door suddenly opened, and a lady wearing a dress and blond curly hair flew towards Du En, with a surprised smile on her face.

"Brother Parker, long time no see, Betty misses you so much!"

Parker?

Hearing his voice, Du En couldn't help but think of the giant cat-like beast he saw when he just entered the Eliol Forest. Could it be that the Parker mentioned by the killer refers to the giant cat-like beast?

"Wait a minute, my name is not Parker, my name is Musashi, Miyamoto Musashi."

Although the woman who called herself Betty had a cute face like a porcelain doll, and if she ran into his arms voluntarily, Du En wouldn't mind pinching her face, touching her head, or lifting her up, but Du En didn't want to lie.

Moreover, there is no way to lie about this kind of thing.

I ran out of the library because I smelled a familiar smell, but when I saw clearly that the person who came was not the brother Parker I had been thinking about day and night, my body's flying movements stopped abruptly, and instead, a trace of trace appeared on my face.

A sulky look.

"Who are you, and why do you smell like Brother Parker?"
