Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 10 - A Bewitching Flower That day, I had a battle scheduled for the morning. The opponent in my second bout in the tournament was a student in the same year at the academy. “There! It’s my win!” “...! I admit defeat!” My strike blew away my opponent’s sword. He frowned in frustration, then raised his hands to admit his loss. The audience cheered: I put my sword back in the sheath and extended my right hand to the opponent, who had fallen down on the…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 1 - An Eloquent Blade Two years before the current events, in the Lamperouge royal capital… The massive circular arena was overflowing with people. The waves of spectators were all focused on the center of the field, where the battle would soon start. Hundreds, thousands of eyes were all concentrated on a single spot. It was a rather bizarre sight, especially considering that the upcoming battle was simply a one-on-one duel. All the excitement and…

Chapter 9 - Homeland Scenery The settlement on Alexandrite island looked like a small fishing village at first glance. There was a small harbor on the seaside, where fishermen burned by the sun went back and forth on their boats. Our two pirate ships were anchored at the harbor. Grace and the rest of the White Demon pirates got down the ship and headed for the settlement. “Welcome back, captain.” “Good work out there, sister.” “I’m back, folks! Thanks for holding up the fort!” Grace walked…

Chapter 8 - The Ship’s Destination I brought clothes and a simple meal for Sue, then went out to the deck. The sea breeze cooled off the heat from my body. The seabirds were crying overhead: we were approaching land. “You sure had fun last night, fool of a son!” “...you were on this ship, shitty hag?” As soon as I stepped on deck, my mother — sitting on the ship’s bow — called out to me. The ship I was on, formerly owned by the Snakebone pirates, was following the lead of the White…

Chapter 7 - Monsters Dwell on the Ship “...I’m not familiar with this ceiling…or this woman.” I woke up and tried to wrap my drowsy head around the current situation. A stained wooden ceiling. A wobbling floor. The sound of waves and cries of seagulls in the distance. The bluish/black-haired girl beside me was sleeping peacefully. I did know who she was — she was the girl I had taken as my slave the day before. “A ship…right, yesterday I fell asleep like that…” I was in the ship we had…

Chapter 64 - End of an Adventure, and the Omen of Misfortune We spent three days sailing to the Garnet Kingdom mainly on the bed. The crew apparently caught the hint: they never even got close to my cabin, so I could enjoy my remaining time with Sue to the fullest. Eventually…we arrived at Garnet, and it was time to say our farewells. We communicated our feelings to each other plenty in the last three days, so the farewell itself was rather short and simple. Sue descended on land, and said goodbye…

Chapter 63 - The Rabbit’s Resolve “...can I ask you the reason why?” After a brief silence, I asked a question to the young lady clad in a bunny costume. In contrast with her attire, her expression was very serious. “After seeing the state in which that Drake person left the Garnet Kingdom in, I felt a tightening pain in my chest.” Sue started talking, with a streak of fear in her voice. “The Garnet Kingdom is the place where I lived with father and mother, with the sisters in the…

Chapter 62 - Heaven’s Rabbit Swept away towards the depths of the sea, despite my fading consciousness I managed to open my eyes. The sunlight could not reach the seafloor, but the sphere of light on the giant crawfish-like creature — Poseidon — allowed me to see ahead. Before my eyes, the seafloor city of Atlantis was crumbling. In the distant past it had even survived the evil gods’ invasion, but the breach of its barrier made it impossible to withstand the crushing water…
