Chapter 65 What we are looking for

◆ Avangard City Grand Plaza ◆

It took us about an hour to get here from the Avangard castle gate. We were part of a long line, waiting for our turn. People in front of us and behind us, people, people, people. Adults, children, adventurers, and everyone in between.

A sword that is said to have been used by a hero in the past. It is now on display at the castle. It is said that it is a sword that can only be wielded by a select few, and that ordinary people cannot even wield it. It's hard to believe, but it seems that there are many such things, weapons that only men can carry and armor that only women can wear.。

Siegel explained to me in detail that the principle behind this is still unknown and remains a problem for some researchers. This is one of the Seven Wonders of Adventurers.

Incidentally, Siegel once tried to wear an armor that only women could wear, but it became so heavy that he almost got crushed. I guess that doesn't exactly make it unwearable, but I'm more interested in the fact that he stubbornly refused to tell me when I asked him what kind of armor it was. When Roel asked me why I wanted to wear it, I just said I was curious.

「 That person, he's walking towards here, looking disappointed.」

「 And the guy behind him, too. I don't know why he' that shocked. If it were me, I wouldn't be so sure. 」

All the people who walked in front of us were people who were trying to see if they could equip the weapon. They all walked past the line one after another, sighing and swearing when they were not satisfied.

I think that if the sword was used by a hero, only that hero can handle it. I don't know where he is, and I don't know why he has such a thing in the castle in the first place. If he could handle the weapon, he would have 10 million gold. 10 million gold is a tremendous amount of money, especially if we are too cautious about how we spend it, even 150,000 gold would have been more than enough.

「 Sir, please keep your order! Don't interrupt the line there!」

Ritta, who was the one checking the line, noticed a problem. It hadn't been that long since we parted, but she looked so strong. When I first saw her, she was unreliable, but now she was a soldier. Well, there was someone who was threatening another person and was interrupted by her. correcting his behavior.

「 Ah! Ryua-san, Roel-san! You're back already!」

「 Keep private conversations to yourself and do it later!」

「 I, I’m sorry, Tom-san!」

When Ritta noticed us, she waved cheerfully, but was immediately chastised by someone who seemed to be a senior member of the group, and she shrank back. Once again, it looks like a tough job. If Ritta is here, maybe Kirkton is also around. But after checking the surroundings, he's nowhere to be found.

Anyway, why is the line so long when we're just trying to see if one can swing a sword. I've never been good at waiting like this, but I'm already starting to get impatient.

「 Roel, I'm bored……」

「 Me too, I can put up with lines at good food restaurants, but not this……」

「 Yahoo, are you guys alright?」

Suddenly, a familiar voice is heard. However, the owner of the voice is not supposed to be here. There were people in front of me and behind me, and because of my excessive reaction, they were looking at me quite oddly.

「 Are you surprised? Oh, this voice is only reaching you guys, so don't react aloud. You would be seen weirdly by normal people if you do.」

It's Hast-sama. I've been told that this is the magic I signed up for. I've been told about it, but even I'd be surprised if it came out of nowhere, and Roel, for some reason, is clutching her fire rod, ready to go into battle. For the time being, I'd like to calm her down and then listen to what she has to say.

「 You can talk to me from there. Just whisper it in your mind, and it will reach me.」

「 You startled me……」

「 Oh, that's good. Well, this is also sort of a test of my communication magic.」

「 You, you only did it for that?」

「 Indeed so. Am I interrupting something? 」

「 Ah, n, no. In fact, it might have been a good thing since I was getting sleepy from having so much free time.

I heard that they're looking for someone who can handle the sword that the heroes used in Avangard Castle. We were going to try to see if we could wield it, but there were too many people...... 」

「 A hero's sword that chooses its wielder? Hmmm……The only thing I know about it is that the sword was used by a hero 30 years ago. It's in Avangard Castle? 」

The Sword of the Hero, I hadn't thought of that. Now it's out in the open at Avangard Castle. In other words, does this mean that they are looking for a hero? Come to think of it, I wonder where the hero who defeated the Demon King 30 years ago is now. I hadn't thought about it at all.

If the Demon King's army has attacked, it is certainly natural to look for a hero to confront the threat. But will this really work? I don't know where the hero is, and I don't know what kind of person he is, but I'm sure he will stand up to the Demon King's army if they appear again. I wonder if I have to go to the trouble of making such a big deal out of it.

「 Hmm, I see. I'm curious about something, so I'll proceed with my research here. Well then...」

「 eh, ummm, Hast-sama?!」

When Roel exclaimed loudly, there was no response from Hast-sama, only strange stares piercing the surrounding air. How one-sided is this magic? It's certainly possible to harass someone with this. Even if the other party was Hast-sama, I regretted making this contract possible a bit.
