Chapter 7 - Backlash ”Anyway — ” Ratifah looked all around, then glanced at her slightly tired legs and sighed. “As expected...Shizuki is nowhere to be seen.” Something in her heart told her they weren’t going to find him. Both Feli and Ratifah optimistically thought he was going to refrain from going off on his own this time, but they could not have been more wrong. “Sigh...” Feli sighed deeply. She was at a complete loss for words. “Well, well, we’re always talking about Prince…-

Chapter 3 - The Price of a Reading “...the empire’s information management has gotten pretty sloppy, hasn’t it.” Cohen sighed and looked down at the ground, where my shadow drew a faint silhouette. “If my ears didn’t fail me...you said “Abominations”. Is that right?” Cohen raised his face again. His gaze, tinged with a sort of pressure, pierced me. “It’s true that I know of certain beasts incapable of even speech. But even if they are the “Abominations” you speak of...what…

Chapter 5 - The Ruins “...Cohen Socaccio.” It was a mechanical voice, with barely any emotion. “Who are those people?” “The Princess of Calsas and her *entourage*. I happened to meet them outside. They said this was their destination, so I brought them here. Just that.” A simple, plain explanation. So replied Cohen to the questions of the guards posted in front of the entrance to the ruins. “...the Princess of Calsas.” The guard’s eyes scanned Elena from head to toe. Then, after…

Chapter 4 - A Lone Master Swordsman That Became the Sword Emperor “Let me ask one question.” Led by Cohen “Heart Scan” Socaccio, Elena and her two guards — Raem and Ulle — and I were heading into the ruins. Suddenly, Cohen spoke up. The volume of his voice was rather subdued, which made me think the words were addressed to me: Elena and the others were following from a bit of distance away, probably too far to hear. “What?” I replied immediately and Cohen continued, without turning…

Chapter 1 - Shadow of the Past “This must be the place...” I, Fay Hanse Diestburg, quietly whispered to myself and stopped walking. Before my eyes, a relatively wide animal trail continued into the forest...or at least *it gave the impression that it did*. I wasn’t as careless as to keep walking on the path just because it was there though. I had come to this “Forest of Nightfall” to repay my debt to the merchant Dvorg Tsarrich, but Feli, who joined me in this expedition, explicitly told me not…

Chapter 26 - Kind of Embarrassing “Magic that turns back time and ruins the empire is interested in...hmm...” I looked at the door close behind Elena’s party, then whispered to myself. This request I received from the merchant Dvorg Tsarrich became more complex the more time passed, I realized. But even if I thought about it— “...I still don’t know about the ruins, but there’s no way magic like that exists.” For me, that was all there was to it. I proceeded to imitate Elena and drink…-

Chapter 23 - Hot Water “Things you want to ask, huh...” The boy surely knew I would ask sooner or later. That’s the impression he gave as he replied. The look he gave me seemed to urge me to continue, so I complied. “I heard about those ancient relics, but not about what they actually contain.” “You want me to tell you?” As soon as the boy said that, I slowly shook my head. “No. What I want to know is whether they contain what I’m thinking. I don’t want to know the contents themselves.…

Chapter 27 - After All, I… I disliked solitude. Because it felt so utterly empty, so hollow — it made me want to die. In my past life — when I lost all my companions. I desperately wanted to escape the solitude. That was probably what led me to my dreams. To lucid dreaming. In my heart, my soul was darkened by shadows as I desperately refused to accept my solitude. I was aware of it. Because of that, whenever I was on my own, I spent time in fruitless, meaningless ways. “It makes me relax…
