Volume 3 Chapter 62

The Spirit King’s Blessing and Treasure Sword

A lot has happened.

I won the war, played a role in it.

I got our hero, Tina, to come home. And I was married to Tina as well, including Princess Rifa. The people gathered around the castle cheered and congratulated me.

Thanks to Tina and Rifa telling the people that they were going to marry me because they love me so much, I didn’t hear any opposition from them.

I was a little embarrassed to hear it however. And I wasn’t alone in that as well, Tina and Rifa also had a blush on their faces.

It was my turn to speak next, but…

I was so nervous that I don’t remember what I said at all. Tina and the others complimented me on what a good speech it was.

And so our wedding announcement went off without a hitch.

No actually, we had a little problem.

The sylphs said it was a celebration, and sent a large number of leaves from the World Tree down to the capital. He said i was for all the people in Alheim.

In addition, he blurted out that he had a contract with me. Immediately the country was in an uproar.

But some people were saved because of it. We were able to save the elves of the border guards who were ambushed by Apristos.

Thanks to Luca, there were no deaths, but there were many who were badly injured with permanent injuries. Even with Luna’s support, Luca alone couldn’t heal all those who were badly injured.

Which is why an elixir made from the leaves of the World Tree was delivered to those badly injured elves of the border guards. Thanks to it, the soldiers wounded in the last war made a full recovery.

For some reason, the elves of the Border Guard were very grateful to me.

Really, it was the sylphs who gave us the ingredients for the elixir that saved them.

Nevertheless, I got all sorts of gifts because I got married to Tina and Rifa. Sylph also saved me by giving me the leaves of the world tree for my blessing, so it was all good. There was also a beautiful carpet, a dagger with a jewel in it, and so on.

All sorts of elven treasures have been brought into the room we were staying in.

[Um……..can’t we go into the room?]

Too many treasures were overflowing from the room. And yet, the maids in the service of the royal castle were still bringing in more treasures. Finally, they even started placing them in the next room.

[……..Isn’t this too much?]

[We elves have a long life span, so we don’t have many children. Because of that, we are a race with a very strong sense of camaraderie. Many of our people have been saved thanks to Haruto-san, so it’s only natural for us to do this.]

Rifa explained.

[I see. By the way, father told me to go get you for him.]

[All right. Oval Office?]

[Yes, please head there.]

I went to the Elf King’s office.

[Haruto, my son. I am so grateful for your help in this matter. Since you are now a hero of this country, I give you this.]

The Elf King handed me a sword the size of my height. It looked huge, but when I held it, it was as light as a feather.

[It is a treasured sword that has been handed down in our country. Its name is Highlander.]

[What? But that’s a national treasure! I can’t take that kind of stuff!]

[Haruto, can you hold it in one hand?]

With one hand?

Of course I can hold it. It’s light as a feather.

I held the Highlander in one hand and held it at the ready.

[Oh!]

[My God … the Highlander with one hand.]

[Truly… Haruto-san was a true hero.]

The ministers who were present at the meeting were surprised.

[What, what do you mean?]

[Haruto, it’s a good thing that you’re a true hero. I was holding it quite hard until I gave it to you a while ago.]

[My King, I think you would also be considered a hero for raising the Kingdom all by yourself.]

According to the ministers, it takes five soldiers to move this high country.

I was reminded of the greatness of the Elf King who handed me such a sword by himself.

[You have been chosen by the Highlander, and from now on that sword will be your strength.]

It seems like I can really get this national treasure.

My status is fixed due to the evil god’s curse, so whatever attack power this sword has is meaningless.

But since such a large sword is as light as a feather, it will give me more ways to attack.

[─ Hmm?]

I feel like my magic power is being sucked out of the hand that held the Highlander.

Oh, could it be!?

[Your Majesty, may I have a word?]

With that, I walked out of the office and onto the balcony.

Somehow I think I can do it. The secret technique that is only allowed to masters of sword and magic.

I held the Highlander in the air… and swung down at the mountain in the distance.

A slash flew from the highlander.

That slash ripped through the earth and ripped through the river──and

Sliced the mountain in half.

[──!?]

[…Ah, there’s no doubt about it. It’s the technique a hero once used to defeat the Demon King.]

[But isn’t it a bit more powerful than the lore of the heroes? Even a hero should only have used it to cleave off an enemy a few dozen meters away…]

[[[…]]]

[Well, well, it turns out that the sword is exactly what the hero Haruto deserves. Take care of it.]

[I’m sorry, sir.]

And this is how I obtained the Hegoku, a treasured sword that will be a great partner to me in the future.
