I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess

53 – Breast Sword (6)

[Sirien Ilencia]

The news came first from a guy named Milan.

Crux’s successor. And since he had found his old colleagues, he was told to show up at the appointed time.

And on the day of the appointment, the sun was setting. I decided to help Razen put on his armor.

“I heard I can wear it alone.”

“I wore it alone the other day and saw that the shoulder straps were missing. “It’s easier for me to help you than to dress sloppily.”

“That was just a mistake.”

“There is no law that prevents you from making another mistake. Razen, you are not careful.”

Originally, armor was not made to be worn alone.

The armor we bought was the same, and Razen did not have any special servants.

There were people who could help me on the battlefield, but now it’s just me, so I have no choice but to do it myself.

“How can I ask you to do something that I originally asked the squire to do?”

“Where is that? Since you are my knight, it is my job to take care of you so that you do not get hurt. “Stop nagging and just sit here.”

“Ugh…… Sorry. “I’ll treat you to something later.”

“You promised? “I will never forget you.”

“Yes.”

How can a few words like that make me so motivated?

I couldn’t manage my facial expressions well. I felt like I would get caught snickering at this rate, so I averted my gaze.

The excitement did not last long.

As I was about to put the armor on her, one by one, starting from her feet, I was reminded of the wounds Rajen had suffered one by one.

“Here. “Give it to her left foot first.”

“Can’t I do the feet?”

“Left foot.”

“…… Huh.”

Burn marks remained on Rajen’s feet.

When you take off these socks, you will immediately see a reddish-brown scar.

Looking back, it was a battlefield where the enemy’s magic fell like rain.

The ground melted and flowed red like lava, and just breathing made my lungs feel like they were going to burn.

We had to retreat from the scorching battlefield. Razen carried me on his back and ran over the fire of her hell.

When we succeeded in retreating, the boots made from the beast’s leather had melted.

Of course, Razen’s feet couldn’t have been fine.

Even though I fed Shinseong until I was exhausted, a scar still remained.

‘It was all my wounds.’

All of Rajen’s wounds were originally mine.

It was a wound that I had to suffer, or a wound that I would not have suffered if it were not for me.

Rajen’s life would have been much more peaceful and comfortable if he had left me and flown away.

If that were the case, these hard muscles would have loosened up a little bit.

That might be a little disappointing. It’s such a cool body.

Lazen is fully relaxed in the quiet countryside. She can’t quite imagine.

Would you mind adding a little more weight to her face now? …… Ah, it looks kind of cute.

I think it would be fun to stretch out my cheeks.

No matter what he looked like, to me Rajen seemed like Rajen.

“Puhup.”

“What did you get on my calf?”

“No. Never mind. Phew.”

I couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

It shouldn’t be like this. Gotta focus, concentrate.

Each leg armor is secured by tightening the leather straps and inserting pins.

I felt relieved only after checking one by one to make sure there was no shaking part.

Rajen moved very vigorously, so she had to be dressed carefully.

“What do you think? Not too tight? “If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.”

“No. “I think it’s just right.”

Rajen confirmed by moving her feet a few times.

It was fortunate. She was seeing it out of the corner of her eye, and she was worried that things would turn out okay.

“You’re more skilled than you think? “Where did you learn it?”

“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen you wearing armor. Do it at least once…… “I looked around because I thought there might be something I could do.”

“Why are you speaking so uncharacteristically?”

“It’s noisy.”

The Sword Master’s body is not invincible.

No matter how good Rajen’s skills were, there was a chance that at least one of her blind swords or arrows would reach him.

When such an unfortunate incident occurred, she prepared this armor so that Rajen would not be injured.

The iron plates of the armor are made of silver. So, rare metals that best retain divinity were mixed together.

Although it was not whole or of high purity like other denominations, it was of the highest quality that we could immediately obtain.

Was it worth it to squeeze Baron Isquente to death?

‘I don’t waste the money I spend on you. If I can reduce even one of your wounds, I can give you as much gold coins as I want.’

I poured a lot of my divinity into this armor.

Because Hybras’ divinity is black, the armor naturally turned black as well.

I don’t know about Rajen, but I even engraved a blood symbol on the inside of her armor with my blood.

We truly put as much as we could into the armor.

Most of her holy techniques were to assist Rajen’s abilities, but the blood gate containing my holy blood contained only protection.

As usual with engraving on equipment, I did not expect it to have such a huge effect.

Still, I hoped it would be of some small help.

“How are your arms? Do you think it’s okay?”

“Just tie the part you’re tying a little tighter now.”

“Like this?”

“Yes. “Just that much.”

I was sick for about a day the day I got the blood print.

Because it is a power that draws out my vitality. I ended up just eating watery porridge in bed.

Razen thought I had a cold that day.

It’s okay.

I can take that much.

If you hurt, I hurt too. If your body bleeds, it feels like tears of blood will flow from my eyes.

It is much better to lie down sick for a day than to be that sick.

“Now only the breastplate and helmet remain.”

“I will use the helmet myself.”

“Yes. Stand up first. “I’ll fill you in.”

Razen’s body. The chest and back had particularly many scars.

When I was most helpless. Because it was where the scars from injuries suffered before going to the sanctuary remained.

There was nothing that could be done about the scars that had already remained.

All I can do is fill that scar with other good memories.

I promise. Someday, I will make sure you won’t regret choosing me.

And…… Now, start to notice a little more.

Fool.

“Sirien?”

I filled her armor and lightly kissed the back of Rajen’s neck.

My head felt hot from embarrassment, but I didn’t hate it.

It felt good to even feel a slight burning sensation.

A strange feeling of regret. However, I feel Rajen’s embarrassment and laugh.

Afraid that he might look this way, she held Rajen’s head as if hugging him and did not let him go.

“When a knight goes off to battle, the lady sees him off like this. “I saw it in a children’s book.”

“Originally, the knight does it on the back of his hand.”

“You did that at the investiture ceremony.”

“You can do it again.”

“Yes. “I’ll see you off like that next time.”

I liked Rajen, who accepted me even when I played mischievous pranks.

Rajen, dressed in all her armor, looked much more majestic than the knights she had seen in Reheim.

Now he was wearing a helmet so his face was not visible.

At times like this, if I kiss your helmet again, will you realize?

The place I promised with Milan was a corner of Requitas’ entertainment district.

It was a quiet place because it was not often visited by people. In a place like this, it seemed like even if someone died, they wouldn’t even be able to leave a body behind.

We even went into a restaurant that seemed to have closed a long time ago.

The guide glanced at me.

“I didn’t know you would come wearing armor.”

“I thought it was necessary.”

Inside the restaurant, there was a large table.

Milan was not seen. If we had been here together, things would have been easier.

I felt like I had to finish the work as I was disappointed.

“It’s necessary. “I only heard that you were entrusting me with the work.”

“If things turn out well, I will leave Requitas, so you have to wear them. If things turn out badly, I have to kill you, so I have no choice but to wear them.”

“Well, I see. “I wish you good luck.”

The man in charge of guiding nodded his head.

He had an attitude that seemed overflowing with confidence. It would be great if it continued to be majestic.

First, I sat where I was told to sit.

About four men were waiting on the other side.

No. It’s five to the information station. I guess the last seat was his.

As soon as all the people were filled, the story started.

“There is no need for a private party. “I will listen to your request first.”

“It involves killing several noble children. “What I was doing went wrong and I ran away.”

“Don’t you know the exact number of people?”

“A total of four. It doesn’t matter if I kill them all. There is no escort, so all you have to do is track them down and kill them. “I’ll let you know the location once I accept the job.”

As soon as I finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared on the men’s lips.

It was a familiar expression. Emotions filled with desire, greed, etc. It wasn’t a very nice sight.

Yes. It must be an easy request.

It would have been easy to kill a few children.

So, you probably accepted it without hesitation.

“Do you have anything else to ask?”

“He said to kill children without a guard, so the important thing is ‘how’ you kill them. Wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t know too much about it?”

“Are you going to kill me without asking any questions, without giving any reason or leaving a trace?”

“There is a reason. “You get paid, right?”

“Yes. It was like this. With pleasure.”

I stood up from my seat.

The only reason I did this annoying play for a while was because I wanted to know this.

How was the deal made when they tried to kill us?

Has nothing changed now?

It was a meaningless worry.

“Sirien. “Please give me a weapon.”

Instead of answering, a large bayonet fell next to me.

It was my sword. Sirien usually keeps it.

Sirien disappeared, spreading black fog, and I grabbed my sword.

The men in front of me also sighed and grabbed their weapons.

“Well, I thought it would be like this. Let’s ask why. “What grudge do you have against us?”

“Revenge.”

“Anyway, there are different ways to commit suicide. “Would you have just come here?”

Blades came rushing in from all directions.
