Chapter 476 - 68 - The efficiency of Cursed Odachi Has Reached The Limit, Huh?
Looking at the various piles of wooden boxes containing glass jars, I could only smile calmly and consider this as work waiting for tomorrow.The work I had just completed had to be sent to Marquess Rommel’s Main Mansion immediately, before starting my new work for the next day, which would undoubtedly require me to be busy organizing report files from morning until the evening.
The military expedition that I considered an exploration full of challenges turned out to have another side, which is... the endless paperwork.
My face was slightly tilted upwards and almost revealed an expression of my annoyed face for doing a boring work.
"My position as a military expedition leader will force me to read reports every day, huh?" I grumbled as I walked beside Mio, who was carrying a wooden box.
Our footsteps that had just left the Central Command tent, now headed towards a wider open space that looked suitable to use as a teleportation point using the cursed Odachi.
"Huummm~ Huuummm~" Mio looked very happy when she was beside me and doing her job as a military aide.
With no sign of any military officers coming out and Mio wanting to hand over the wooden box containing this important report paper to Marquess Rommel’s Main Mansion, it seemed... it had become my job as the leader of this military expedition to accompany her.
And for some reason, Mio looked happy when she found out, we will alone when doing this.
The schedule is a bit messed up in my opinion, I didn’t even know that I would be doing this every night, and that means... I will always be busy doing bored works with report papers, every single day.
"Ugh... I hope, I don’t die on a pile of boring report papers," I continued to mutter softly as I swiped my hands beside me and felt the empty air, which felt getting cold.
"Does my Monarch want to call me?" said Momo’s voice that came suddenly before I called.
Twiittcchh...
Twiittcchh...
My hand that was touching the empty air beside me now felt a hard, rough object coming from the handle of Momo’s cursed Odachi.
"I almost called you, but you came at the right time," I said to Momo, who had placed the hilt of her Odachi in my hand.
Right beside Momo, I could see Ellen and the nameless cursed weapon flying low beside me.
"I see... You all are playing around at night?" I asked Ellen and the nameless, cursed weapon.
After returning from the old castle town within Duchess Kaori’s domain, I rode back on Sia’s back, then ignoring the cursed weapons to take my pile up works. My focus on completing the night’s report paper works seemed to have forgotten the cursed weapons and make them playing together in the darkness night.
"Yup! There’s nothing we can do but play around and wait for my Monarch’s call," Ellen replied as she circled me.
"Um, my Monarch... I see you look exhausted from all this work. Would you like to relax with me for a moment?" said the nameless, cursed weapon that was floating around me along with Ellen.
"H-Hey! I-It’s not fair to do it alone with our Monarch! I also want to relax with my Monarch, too!" Ellen shouted in a loud voice.
"E-Ehh?! What’s so unfair? I have to accompany my Monarch as a new weapon that she will use in the future, right?"
"Y-Yes, but that feels unfair to you, who just met the Monarch of Holy Destruction and I want to spending my time with Monarch of Holy Destruction, too!"
"U-Uwwee?? T-That’s because I’ve been sealed inside the Goddess of Nature Shrine for a long time!"
Swiiirrlll...
Swiiirrlll...
While flying low and circling me, it seemed that these two cursed sword sisters were arguing with each other, creating unnecessary arguments.
They look like little girls who want to get attention from me and are always noisy when playing together.
My body, who already tired from the hard work today, could only smile and chuckle a little at the ridiculous behavior of these two cursed weapons.
"Forgive my sisters for jokingly at an inappropriate time, my Monarch."
"They did that out of boredom and envy, for not witnessing the miracles of my Monarch performed in the old castle town."
"They’re so childish, aren’t they?"
I took a deep breath and pulled the hilt of the cursed Odachi, slowly bringing out Momo’s sharp blade.
Sriiinnnggg...
"They only miss the Goddess of Destruction who gave birth to them in this world, Momo."
"There is nothing wrong with missing a Goddess who created them and left them alone in this world."
"Don’t you feel the same way as them?" I replied by asking Momo another question.
My hand slowly pulled the hilt of the cursed odachi and watched as its sharp blade began to be enveloped by the Goddess of Destruction’s blessing. Momo’s sharp, black-red sharp blade glowed in the darkness of the night, showing her holy magic in all directions.
The stream of holy magic that flowed in her sharp blade, calmly felt soft in my hands, not too rough and not too difficult to control.
"Unfortunately, I don’t feel anything like that..."
"Because I was just a discarded prototype cursed weapon that ended up being used as the main source magic power of a monster that troubled my Monarch in the past," Momo replied in a soft tone and sounded like she was feeling guilty about her past.
The moment Momo said something like that, I could feel the flow of holy magic surrounding her sharp blade weaken and become unstable enough to perform a teleportation slash.
Momo’s doubts and dark memories somehow disrupt the flow of her holy magic.
"It’s not a trouble for me."
"Because... I could defeat that unique monster called the Golden King Bear with my bare hands, if I wanted to."
"Thanks to that invasion of a unique monster horde, I met you, Momo."
"Doesn’t it sound like... fate brought us together?"
Without realizing it, it seems I said something that made me embarrassed by my own words.
My cheeks twitched as if in response to those embarrassing words to say to Momo.
My face also felt hot; luckily, I was far from the light source of the campfire or magic lantern, so my face, which was hot with this pink blush, was hidden by the darkness of the night.
Swiippp...
Swiiippp...
I immediately waved my hands like a fan and loosened the collar of my military uniform as if I was feeling hot from the hot night air.
"Oh my... A fate meeting?"
"It’s the same as when I met Lily-sama when she was still a child," said Mio, who entered the flow of my conversation with Momo.
Patt...
Patt...
Mio suddenly reached out her hand to gently pat my hair and smiled at me. Her gentle pat on my head felt like it was warming me up in this cold night as I blushed from my own previous words.
Mio and Momo seemed to have planned this to make me blush.
"If I hadn’t met Lily-sama, I would have definitely quit my job as a maid and married a man."
"I won’t let that happen to you, Mio!"
My ears pricked up when Mio said such a horrible thing, and the pink blush that had filled my face quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold smile directed at Mio.
Mio just smiled when faced with my cold smile.
"I already knew that Lily-sama wouldn’t allow that."
"I also feel that my family tree will be fine, because my family is not the main family that has to preserve the bloodline."
"So I can freely serve Lily-sama until the end of my days, hehe," Mio replied while smiling at me and holding back the cold smile I directed at her.
Deg...
Deg...
Deg...
Mio’s smile was gentle and pierced my heart, which was trembling with panic after hearing her words. It was both painful and comforting at the same time. If I losing Mio, who had always been by my side, it felt like the world would feel empty without her.
"You almost made me panic, Mio," I complained as I let out a sigh of relief and grip the hilt of the cursed Odachi in preparation for a teleportation slash.
"How could I marry another man when I love Lily-sama so much, right?" Mio replied with a gentle smile still lingering on her face.
That sly smile, for some reason, makes me want to punish Mio with a lot of love and affection.
But unfortunately, there is no free time to punish Mio with love and affection.
Griiittt...
My grip on the cursed Odachi’s hilt tightened, and I immediately swung my hand to create a teleportation slash.
Brrrtttt!!
Slaassshh!!
"Hmmm?"
As I slashed through the empty air in front of me and imagined the front garden of Marquess Rommel’s Main Mansion, I felt a strange sensation coming from this cursed Odachi I was holding.
The slash I made felt very soft and not as rough as before.
I’ve felt this way a few times...
But for a smooth and gentle teleportation slash like this...
This was the first time I felt such a soft and smooth cut, like a hot knife cutting through hard butter.
Bllaaaarrrr!!
The teleportation slash opened before my eyes, and I paused for a moment to take in the strange sensation I had just felt.
[ Yurification System: The efficiency of using the Cursed Odachi has reached the limit! ]
[ Yurification System: Updating the Cursed Odachi’s Efficiency based on the user’s abilities! ]
"H-Huuhh?" I couldn’t hold back my surprise when I was suddenly attacked by the appearance of a strange box containing writing on the handle of my cursed Odachi when a teleportation slash was created in front of me, and Mio waited for me to enter first.
This transparent floating box containing writing...
It’s been a long time since I saw it; that’s because I use the Yurification Shop more often than the main blessing given by my Goddess.
To be honest, I almost forgot the main blessing given by my Goddess, because its not important compared to the Yurification Shop.
"Lily-sama, is there something wrong?" Mio called out to me and tilted her head.
I shook my head and replied, "No, it’s okay, I just hope Mom isn’t too busy tonight when we back with this pile of report papers."
With that short answer, I walked into the teleportation slash with Mio.
