    • Part 2 Chapter 56 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part II – Episode 56 A ringing struck the world. . . . From somewhere inside the violently shaking airship, I heard someone desperately crying for help. . . . Slowly, I raised my arm. The flesh that had been half-melted by the heat, exposing red muscle and the white bone underneath it, was rapidly – yet unmistakably –- to its original form. The cockpit had already lost its ceiling. The wind rushing through the cabin as the vessel plummeted toward the ground made it difficult to even keep…
    • Part 2 Chapter 49 Cover
      by ItsAmi Then Rue warned, “Frame Ball bombardment incoming, Daisy. There are quite a lot of them.” Just as he said, frame Balls, fired like cannon shells from the enemy ship, came flying toward Ash. Because they spun through the air in curved trajectories instead of straight lines, they were difficult to track with my energy. Ash barely managed to dodge the successive barrage—just before being hit head-on by the fourth Frame Ball— Tweet– It shrank back down to its tiny form, narrowly avoiding the hit,…
    • Part 2 Chapter 50 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 - Episode 50 The following evening, the passenger ship arrived safely at the port of Ostita. I’d only ever heard about the Republic of Kontaninos from other people—this was the first time I’d ever set foot there. Maybe that’s why, as I looked out at the bright lights of the harbor through the cabin window, I found myself quietly filled with anticipation. Perhaps I was about to enter a whole new world, like when I first visited Astrosa. I wanted to take in the exotic atmosphere and scenery…
    • Part 2 Chapter 52 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 - Episode 52 In an instant, the man’s hand shot out and grabbed me by the throat. He’d probably expected me to collapse right there, but there was no way my sturdy body was going to lose to some mere magic swordsman’s grip. I drove a fist into his solar plexus and knocked this now staggering man to the ground. When I placed the tip of my sword against his throat, his struggling became somewhat more subdued. “Ah, hot!” Fwoom! A warm burst of heat rose above the blind girl’s…
    • Part 2 Chapter 54 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 - Episode 54 It was the day that I’d returned from the Kingdom of Banahel to Ostita by airship to then board a train bound for Corphinium that I realized just how troublesome it was to be Andert Fager.  “It's Andert Fager!” That single shout was where it all began. In my defense, all I had been doing was sitting in a corner of Ostita Station, feeding Ash some dried fruit snacks I'd paid an outrageous amount of money for nearby. Tweet. Tweet. Whenever Ash accepted treats, he became just…
    • Part 2 Chapter 53 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 - Episode 53 ‘The nickname “Land of Death” really is the perfect description for this place.’ Once, it had been a vast pasture where flocks of sheep roamed freely. Now, it was a barren desert where not a single blade of grass could grow. Four years ago, that boy had told me: The one responsible for turning this land—once a refuge of life—into a ruin was Spolia. Because of his so-called “purification” efforts, the residents had become refugees and fled north. Even after settling…
    • Part 2 Chapter 51 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 – Episode 51 His movements were terribly clean. It was the first time I’d seen speed like this from anyone aside from Jean and Gavroche in a while. The man’s sword was fluid, sharp in instinct, and utterly without hesitation. ‘He looks pretty young.’ At most, he appeared to be in his early to mid twenties. He also did not appear to be someone who simply “looked” young by having reached a transcendent level like the Swordmaster. Kiiing— As I blocked the vertically descending…
    • Part 2 Chapter 55 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 – Episode 55 As if she had never imagined I would ask about the Sword Demon himself, Ricky stared blankly for a moment before hurriedly waving her hands. “No! They do have some similarities, but they're also very different. Um, since you've already met Flame King, you probably know that he's extremely friendly with ordinary citizens. And that his trademark pink hair symbolizes his spirit of self-sacrifice.” Michele grumbled under his breath. “Tch. Calling it self-sacrifice is giving too…
    • Part 2 Chapter 57 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 – Episode 57 The moment the energy poured from the tip of my sword like a pillar and drove itself into the earth, I instinctively understood. This energy would maintain whatever form I desired, whenever I wished. The delicate particles of light, woven together as densely as a spider's web, resembled both mist and yet at the same time a thick liquid. That was why I had plunged my sword into the towering pillar of light and descended with it toward the ground. Slowly. The energy, which had…
    • Part 2 Chapter 47 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 — Episode 47 Baroness Fyora stared at the growing crowd and murmured as if to herself, "He's quite an unusual person. Someone of the Flame King's stature doesn't usually travel on passenger ships like this." "If he doesn’t travel by passenger ship, does he swim across or something?" Perhaps it was because my identity had been made official? Even to such a naïve question, Baroness Fyora answered kindly without a hint of condescension. "Ahaha, no, Lord Andert. The Flame King's reputation is so…
    • Part 2 Chapter 48 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 Episode 48   Rein’s flag? Everyone’s eyes turned toward the window. Not too far off, a black flag fluttered in the sea breeze. The pattern of raging violet flames reminded me of the piercing sharpness of Rein’s eyes. The sight of the flag plunged the room into panic. “N-No way… The flames of death will consume the ship! Somebody save us!” “O Deus… Protect us… Have mercy, at least on my child…” Amid the chaos—people scrambling, stumbling, trembling in fear—a man…
    • Part 2 Chapter 46 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 — Episode 46 The passenger ship was the most massive ship I had ever seen, reportedly one of the most famous vessels heading to Ostia. As members of a party support guild, we were each assigned fairly decent cabins. “If the weather permits, we are scheduled to arrive at Ostia Pier tomorrow at 11 p.m. We wish you a pleasant journey.” Considering that our departure time was 6 a.m., it was quite a long distance to cover. After resting briefly in our respective cabins (Rue and I, of course,…
    • Part 2 Chapter 44 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 Episode 44 The male official and the external guild members he had called for help looked thoroughly intimidated. It was understandable, especially since it was none other than Raphael standing before them. And Raphael… his expression seemed to be growing fiercer lately, and his temper had become a bit prickly, too. When he was younger, he rarely got angry, but these days, he acted like he was ready to devour someone at the slightest provocation. Was it because he’s a duke now? There must…
    • Part 2 Chapter 45 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 Episode 45 The party was formed. The members were me, Rue, the Handsome Swordsman, and Ash. The combination of three people and one non-human was incredibly stable. The ratio of two men and one woman was also well-balanced—though, of course, the one woman here was Rue. ‘It’s been a while since I’ve been to a harbor.’ When was the last time I visited a port this large? If I remembered correctly, it was back at the tail end of the Magic War, when we headed to the southern imperial…
    • Part 2 Chapter 43 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 Episode 43   Did the mention of the cake remind the man of the lovable mountain-like bandit maid’s sturdiness? His expression paled. The woman looked like she couldn’t believe what I was saying. “I heard he truly returned alive this time, but for this to be the case… Is Sir Andert Fager really part of the Gray Spear Guild?” “That’s not the case.” “...Then I can’t believe it!” This guy again. “You’re dispatching someone who isn’t even part of the guild? Hmph,…
    • PLOM Part 2 Chapter 32 Cover
      by ItsAmi Part 2 - 32 In life, there are days when you become scared of the heavens even if you haven’t committed any sins. For me, today was that day. “Long live the Andert Fager!” “Long be the hero's return!” To think that the hardships I faced in Ragel in the past were the last hardships I would face in this city was a grand misunderstanding and a naive illusion. The moment I stepped out of history, a procession that I had never wished for, even for a moment, awaited me. I mounted a white horse.…
