CHAPTER 19: HEIRLOOM SWORD II

Thinking about it normally, I doubt that blonde ashime will just give his heirloom sword. Even though it's not cut into two, it still used to be a heirloom.

If the culprit who literally cut his sword into two, Hurst-san, asks for it, to be use by me, the reason why it broke, will he even give it to me? Nah~ I doubt it.

"It's impossible to fix a broken sword. No matter what kind of expensive sword it is. Right now it's just some metal and has no worth. So it's just an abandoned thing." 

"But, thinking aside if it's an unneeded thing, I don't think there'll be any problems if he gives it to me."

I feel like he'll say 'What are you saying. This is the problem with country bumpkins wa wa wa!'

"Well there's also that chance. However... ...I'll make I'll have it"

Is the powerful words of Hurst-san.

Nodding slowly to Hurst-san's words, I peeked a bit at the sword on his waist.

... a, right now, it got cold.

What is this premonition of a blood bath?  

... ...A just now it got cold

What's with this bloody premonition? Something like stabbing each other to death kind of ending. That's right. The me, back then didn't think that something like this would happen, this sort of overwhelming premonition.

" I will talk to him"

"No. Isarai-sama should wait here. I'll immediately return"

"That's why I said, I will talk to him"

"No. I will!"
He's quite stubborn.

Since this is something about my knife, I don't need some bloody tale to have it.

"Since it is me who needs it, I should be the one to talk to him.

"... ....I see."

Agreeing to what I said, Hurst-san nodded his head.

Alright. I was able to prevent the route to,  'The Night of the Heirloom Sword' . Something like those Southern Berg tales, on a snowy mountain, locked up in a pension (house) and one by one all the blonde haired person were killed.

"If I ask for the heirloom swords and I tell him that he'll get a benefit then things will be alright"

"I see. it's the basics for a negotiation"

"That expensive looks really expensive... ...somehow it has all sorts of decoration"

"That's just some ornament sword. From the blade there were metal decorations. Even the tip of the sword is all just for show. In fact, if that was used to cut something it will chipped off soon."

I see. It seems like even if its a sword, there are all various kind of swords.

Then, just like what the blonde ashime said, it really is just some ornamental sword.

"A, that's right. Hurst-san you did say that you need to remove all those decoration engraved on the metal? But can you really remove it?"

"Yes. With my skill, the point from the decoration and the iron using my skill, Grind/Polish. (Eunie: his skill in japanese is called Kenma, which means to grind or polish. Like grinding materials kinds of like a blacksmith)  Then I can completely remove just the decoration."

"... ...That's so useful"

Hearing Hurst-san's words, I couldn't help but grin.

Un. That heirloom sword. I have to make sure I'll be able to get it.

That's why, for the meantime I'll be leaving Hurst-san in the room and I headed alone inside the knight's office.

If I go with Hurst-san, there's definitely gonna be a bloodbath... ... . Northern Pole, once again. Scary.

When I went to the knight's office, it seems like that blonde ashime (Eunie: ashime = asymmetric, cause from bobbed hair/kappa) wasn't here and was currently resting in the knight's lounge.

With my message, it seems like he immediately replied and went to the knight's office and of course his hair is the same as always, it was left in that asymmetric state. 

"What now you country bumpkin! What do you need from me!"

"A. Hello."

"Damn it! It's because I'm on duty that I didn't have the time to fix my hair! Remember this, that northern dog... ...! "

His eyes are filled with revenge due to the fact that, blonde ashime's left part of the hair got shorter. 

He's amazing. He went all pale and weak in the knees before but now he's acting up again.

It seems like barber polar bear's cut wasn't his cup of tea, to the point that he doesn't want to have anything to do with me or Hurst-san. And what's more, he's here cause he's on duty.

But it's obvious that he's not working.

"But, that hairstyle doesn't look so bad"

While he was in the middle of screaming "kiiii kiii", I told him my honest opinion. 

That's right. Here, there's no such hairstyle like asymmetric, even though in my world this sort of style is accepted. In fact, it suits him better compared to his kappa(bobbed) looked before, now on the left side, you can see his ear, which makes him look quite manly.

"In the place that I used to lived in there's also that kind of hairstyle. And what's more ... ..."

Inside the knight's office, the sunlight passes by the window, reflecting his hair making it seems like it's shining a little.

"It's a really beautiful colour. It's like golden brown.

Blonde ashime is blonde but, behind it doesn't look like those bright blonde ones. It's brown but actually gold? But looking after it properly, that kind of colour looks elegant. 

It's like a light brown-yellowish colour of a cat. That sort of colour.

"I see! wa ha ha ha! Even a bumpkin knows this elegant colour!"

So that blonde ashime won't bring up his hair, I did try to change the topic to his hair colour and from the looks of it, he seems to have gotten his good mood.

"This hair colour of mine! Only high class nobles has it! Isn't it beautiful! This golden hair that only people of royalty has, though it's a bit diluted it still shows that only those with high nobility has. Isn't it an amazing color!"

"ha"

"That's why I'm here in this palace, working as a palace knight!"

"fumu"

"Unlike those nobody's like that northern dog!"

"heee"

"This is the sign of the only righteous lineage!"

"Ho ooh"

For now, the same old replies.

As expected of blonde ashime, the amount of information he says is amazing.

It seems like here, having blonde hair means you are a  member of the royal family.

Which means the shining blonde hair I saw at the back garden was seems to be the crown prince. It surely was sparkly and it feels elegant and that this blonde ashime, seems to be someone related to the royalty, and a good family's obochama (young master).

I get it. I understand. It means that through his connections and back up. That's why even though he has to be in the knight's office or he's sticking to me.

Do your work, though I doubt someone can tell him that. As I peeked through the complexion of blonde ashime, it seems like he's quite pampered by his workmates. Un un. I can see that he's using all his abilities.

Alright, without reserve, I'll make to have his heirloom sword.

"Umm...Please give me your heirloom sword"
"a, ah, aaaah?"

"The sword that got broken into two. I heard it's still here"

"a, that...huh..."

The little bit of conscience I had, in getting his heirloom sword disappeared. As I smiled at the blonde ashime. 

"What I want is the blade! I'll make sure to return the gems and ornaments engraved into it."

"Re..move?"

"Yes. By using a skill. It can be properly removed without damaging the blade or the ornaments"

"Without damage!"

Due to those words, his eyes started shining.

That's right. I came to the knight's office so I can have blonde ashime's sword. While thinking that he must not want anyone to know that the heirloom sword can't be use anymore.

When Hurst-san cut his heirloom sword, he seems to have lost all his spirits. That's why there's no way blonde ashime can tell it to anyone. Not anyone can know it. But no matter how much he keeps it a secret, one day it will be known. 

It's easy to have a new sword prepared, but to use the same materials for the ornaments is hard, or so I thought. That's why right now removing the ornaments is the only way, but normally it's quite a hard feat. To remove the ornaments without damaging it, and that is just perfect for the Grind skill. So it couldn't be helped if it got smaller.

"So you mean to say that as long as I can obtain the sword, it's possible to have the same ornaments engraved to it... ..."

"Yes. Even the metal part with the ornaments can be removed. So even if you have to melt it, it's still possible to have the same patterns and from the metal ornaments he can also make them."

"I see.... ...! I understand... ...!"

It seems like the blonde ashime is totally into the plan, as he started grinning.

I understand, it's not like you can just tell everyone that "I can't use the heirloom sword anymore"

"Why don't we make your heirloom sword"

If the other one is no good, then just create another one.

"Umu... ...! I'm in to that plan!"

The face of the blonde ashimen is shining. He can have his heirloom sword and I can have my very own heirloom knife.

The other one is heirloom, the second is also a heirloom.

"Putting that aside, what do you plan on using the other part? A sword that got broken has no use"

"I thought of turning it into a knife"

It seems like blonde ashimen has just left the broken heirloom sword in the knight's office, wrapping it in a cloth and just leaving it there.

"knife?"

"Yes. It can't be used to make a sword but if it's a knife then it's possible or so I was told"

"That's one useful skill! And to make a knife! A country bumpkin's idea is really like bumpkin's"

wa ha hahaha, and so the blonde ashime started laughing haughtily.


"Could it be a knife to cut that weed from before?" 

"Haaa...But well maybe I'd do that."

"Wahahaha! this bumpkin will cooked with those weeds!"

wahahahahaha

"The bumpkin will cook! With some weeds!"

His vocabulary.

He's just been saying bumpkin, weeds, cooking and HA. I've been thinking about this since before but, he's laughing too much.  

And while laughing haughtily, the blonde ashime followed me . 

Well he did left me the heirloom sword, and he might be curious on how it's gonna end. So since it can't be helped, I just came back to my room with the blonde ashime and then I opened the door.

And hereupon, after that, there was a snow storm, the window opened up and with a snow brewing, it was especially cold. It became that kind of situation.

"... ...How many times do I have to tell you to stop speaking in that way"

"hiiiii....ttu"

Ah....he went into H.I mode.
