I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life

Division (4)

Strictly speaking, I didn’t need a blessing.

I’ve fought without a blessing so far, and I’ve dealt with a hard and tough guy like that armored golem to the point of overflowing.

It didn’t matter much to the extent that there wasn’t a space expansion bag.

Even so, the reason I wished for a blessing was because I wanted to meet Rize as soon as possible.

If there was an armored golem identical to this one over there, it would be too much for Irina alone.

I want you to wait quietly in a safe place, but you won’t.

So, I cut it with all my might.

“Awesome… … do.”

Grace couldn’t help but admire the armored golem, whose body was split into pieces and even the round core it contained was broken into pieces and could no longer move.

It was the same with Hudson, and Grace asked his question instead.

“How on earth were you able to cut it?”

“Hmm, I can’t explain it well… … .”

I scratched my cheek and took a large sword from the collapsed golem to reply.

“To put it simply, I can see where I can cut. It is difficult to explain because it is based on experience and intuition.”

The strength of the golem he had just slashed was much stronger than the Volcanic Chimera he had slashed before.

Even if he used Limit Break and swung Aculium, he could only cut half of his forearm.

But in the end, I cut off his arms and even his torso in one fell swoop.

It was natural for the two people to be surprised as they watched the dramatic change that occurred in a short period of time.

“I found out when I hit a few places with a sword. It’s like where to cut properly and where not to cut.”

This was something I really can’t describe in words.

It could be said that it was a state achieved through countless experiences that had been fought so far.

When you cross swords with your opponent, you naturally realize it through your instincts and the senses beyond that.

It means ‘where to cut’.

“You said you were a seasoned mercenary after all, did you mean that?”

Grace and Hudson gave me a surprised look, even though they didn’t understand my answer.

I don’t think it made a bad impression, but that wasn’t the point right now.

With the door still closed in front of me, I briefly glanced at the sword I was carrying.

A sword that is too big for a human to handle.

I thought I was familiar with it somehow, but seeing it this way, I could understand it.

It was exactly like the holy sword.

After all, it is a place for the hero’s trial. I would have thought that even the key would blatantly follow the holy sword.

Anyway, I picked up the sword and immediately inserted it into the hole in the middle of the white door, and something clicked with a click.

Using the guard part of the sword as a lever and turning it sideways, I heard a clanking sound from inside, and then the door opened as it swung left and right.

Without hesitation, I went inside, and the straight aisle opened up again.

Running down the aisle, I remembered what Grace had said earlier.

‘Your physical condition… … It looks like a dead person.’

I tried to receive a blessing once, but it seemed like I heard a strange curse. When asked why, Grace replied again:

‘If ordinary people are compared to the earth, the divine power can be said to be water. Blessing is to sprinkle the rain of divine power on the ground so that each sprout sprouts. But the land of Irvin’s followers… … It’s just parched.’

Are you dry?

What better way to describe yourself than this?

I vaguely knew why the blessing was having no effect on me. Living a cursed life that only repeats violating the providence of nature, can it be a blessing?

‘This is what a dead person looks like, so if you want a precise diagnosis… … .’

I stopped talking after that.

Even if I couldn’t accept the blessing, I knew better than anyone else that my body was fine.

Above all, isn’t Rize the top priority right now?

When I reached the end of the once-curved passageway, the door that appeared opened inward as soon as I touched it, revealing a different room than I had ever seen before.

But instead of looking closely, I ran to the door on the other side and threw it open.

As I ran through the symmetrical hallway, as if reflected in a mirror, there was a door that was also firmly closed, and as expected, there was a device that could be opened and closed manually as I quickly scanned the wall next to it.

As I turned it, the door slowly opened with a clanking sound… … .

“Sister Irina!”

As soon as I heard Rize’s cry, my body jumped out reflexively.

[Breaking the limit]

aaang!

As soon as I smashed the open door and forced it open, I rushed towards the armored golem as soon as I entered.

Awesome!

He cut off his right arm so lightly that he wondered if it was the same as the previous golem, and he growled while blocking Rize’s face.

“What dare you do to my daughter?”

“Dad!”

Hearing Rize’s cry, I swung my sword with the power of rage and tore the armored golem’s body in two.

It must have been manufactured in the same way as the previous golem, and the core was also in the same location, so it was cut together, and the golem’s body immediately collapsed on the spot.

Scared to confirm that, I turned around and hugged Rize’s shoulders.

“Lizeya! are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere? Were you surprised?! Dad, I’m really, really sorry for being late!”

“Me, I’m fine. More than that, Irina’s sister was injured. Take care of your sister.”

I thought I wanted to take a closer look at Rize, but I couldn’t refuse Rize’s request, so I went over to Irina, who got up from the other side through the broken wreckage.

It was clear that a fierce battle had been fought, as both arms were dangling.

“are you okay?”

“Not to the point of dying.”

“Yeah, it was a lot of trouble. Thank you for protecting Rize while I was away.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

I took a peek at Irina, who spoke calmly, and found that her right arm was fractured, her left arm was torn, and her body was full of bruises.

It hurt less than I thought, but there was no way it wasn’t painful.

“Priestess Grace… … Please look after it when it arrives. Don’t move recklessly and stay still.”

After saying that, I went back to Rize to check the condition. Fortunately, Irina didn’t seem to be hurt anywhere.

Grace and Hudson, who had been a little behind, entered the room and hurriedly ran towards Irina.

Without my asking, Grace began Irina’s treatment.

In the meantime, I took a closer look at Rize’s body and heard from Rize about what had happened here.

“So I spread a barrier with the sacred thing my father said… … .”

I couldn’t help but admire Rize’s story as he explained it frantically as if his excitement had not subsided.

“… … It reminded me of something my dad said… … .”

From the part I hadn’t thought of, to the fact that I actually used my wits to weaken the golem.

“… … I thought I won, but I just… … !”

It was because the situational judgment and coping skills shown here far exceeded the level of a child.

Even if he brought other tolerable mercenaries, it was clear that he would not be able to do this. No, I will only think of escaping.

Even so, Rize did not do anything that endangered herself.

It was only at the end that I made a mistake because I was worried about Irina, but other than that, there was nothing better.

“You did really well. It lasted well until Dad came.”

“still… … Irina’s sister is seriously injured… … .”

Normally, I would have laughed shyly at the compliment.

It seemed that Irina was hurt. After all, I didn’t get hurt that much.

It was understandable to be surprised and worried.

“Huh, that’s it. It will get better in a few days, but you must absolutely rest in the meantime.”

“Thank you so much for treating me.”

In the meantime, Irina’s treatment was finished, and Rize ran straight to Irina, her eyes widening with worry.

“I’m sorry, sister. If only I was strong… … My sister wouldn’t have been hurt… … .”

“No, miss.”

Looking at Rize who blamed herself, Irina said firmly.

“This is a wound caused by my weakness. It’s absolutely not the lady’s fault. No, rather, if it wasn’t for the young lady, I would have been hurt even more. therefore… … Don’t talk like that.”

Irina raised her left hand, which did not rise well, and lightly caressed Rize’s cheek as she added.

“I will become stronger so that you do not worry. I promise I won’t worry you anymore.”

“huh… … . Then I will be strong too. I won’t let anyone get hurt.”

After consoling the crying Rize and finishing cleaning up the tools they used, they moved forward together again.

There must be an exit over there.

It was only then that I was able to properly look around the room I had returned to through the passage I had passed through.

First of all, there was a mural engraved on the wall where the traces of the years were felt.

“This probably depicts the story of the hero of light.”

As Grace said, the murals along the walls on three sides show the life of the hero of light.

The journey begins with defeating weak monsters, gathers allies, saves people, defeats dragons, prevents disasters, and finally seals the dark lord.

how to say

For some reason, the image of Rize in the future overlapped, making my heart choke.

Actually, Rize was just watching with her eyes shining on the story she liked.

When I turned my head, I saw a large arched door in front of me.

Hudson seemed to be investigating quickly, but it didn’t seem to open. I guess that’s the exit.

An otherwise unusual structure was in the center of the room.

A round-shaped podium.

There was a hole in the hexagonal pillar that rose above it, like the previous door, where something could be inserted.

Hmmm, maybe that’s it.

“There are letters written here too.”

Irina, who went up to the podium first to look at it, said so, and I went to the side and saw that it was written in small letters on the pillar.

“I deeply apologize for leaving a heavy burden on future generations. I leave a kite here to lighten the burden even a little.”

“Can you read that too?”

I shrugged my shoulders at Irina’s surprised reaction and turned my head to meet Rize’s wide-eyed eyes as if surprised.

“Will you teach me later?”

“Yes, I want to learn! There was a letter like that before, but it was very sad that I couldn’t read it.”

After laughing at Rize’s prompt reply, she raised her body and looked at the hole in the middle of the pillar again.

The vertically elongated hole naturally reminded me of what I saw at the door earlier.

“Rize, come here.”

After calling Rize to the podium, she took out a sword wrapped in a scabbard from her bag and held it out to Rize.

“Would you like to try one out?”

“Is that okay?”

I nodded at Rize’s question, and Rize hesitated for a moment, but then slowly drew the sword from the sheath.

Chiing… … !

With a clear sound, the sword that came out of the scabbard wrapped around the soft light.

The figure overlapped with the mural behind me, so I inadvertently frowned and turned my head to point at the hole.

“Do you think you can plug it in here?”

“Yeah, Dad. I’ll give it a try.”

Lize nodded and came forward, and I slightly moved away.

Rize, who was looking at the holy sword and the hole, spoke as if she had suddenly remembered.

“Ah, this looks just like the sword the golem was holding. So, is this the key?”

“That’s how it is.”

Needless to say, Rize’s keen eye and memory were extraordinary.

Rize nodded once, grabbed the sword in reverse, and pointed toward the hole… … .

“Dad, help me… … .”

“Yes, Dad will help you.”

I still haven’t been able to point the key at the writer properly.

As she put her hands in her armpits and lifted them up, Rize aimed her sword at the hole with a more comfortable posture… … It was stabbed right in.

Clap!

the sound of something coming together.

I thought there would be silence for a while like that.

Quaaa!

Pure white light burst from the sword and filled the room.

Rize seemed slightly startled by the light, but did not let go of her sword, and the lights soon began to gather in a column.

“Lu Nera… … .”

Seeing that majestic sight, Grace recited a prayer, and the large light, which shimmered for a while, soon settled toward the floor like a stake.

Wow… … !

There was a dull shock, and then the entire room was enveloped in silence.

what will happen

What is that light again?

I didn’t know what the situation was, so I rolled my head as much as I could, but I couldn’t guess.

You should have written this in detail.

It’s like a stupid ancestor hero.

Chunk!

As I poured out my resentment against the hero of light, I heard the sound of something unlocking at the exit.

Is this the end?

An unknown light came out and disappeared and ended as it is?

Turning her head, Rize only tilted her head as if she hadn’t received anything.

“dad? Pull it now?”

“… … okay.”

Even after all this hardship, it was a disappointing ending.

And if that exit is also blocked, that would be a very funny story.

Teeing!

At that moment, as soon as Rize pulled out her sword, something jumped out of the hole, and instead of us, who couldn’t use her hands, Irina next to us quickly snatched it.

Irina, who confirmed her identity first, frowned and made a strange expression, and then pushed out toward us.

that… … It was a piece of metal that I had no idea what it was originally a part of.
