V2 Chapter 4 – It’s a decent person, but I won’t believe it so easily!

Various people surround the Sword Saint in the center of the square.
The number would exceed more than 100.
Yogiri and others were at the outer edge of the crowd.
The surroundings were in a frenzy.
But, there was none who seemed to move.
There are people who seem to be watching, and there are also people who think the Sword Saint’s words will continue.

“A bit better? If I kill all the guys here, I can automatically become a Sword Saint?” (???)

Among the stressful air, a confident voice was issued.
The voice of a black man who is just before Yogiri and others.
Black shirt, black pants, and black cloak.
A black sheath is carried on his back, and the handle is black.

“No comment. But, if you dare say it, if this is the kind of interview that you see personality, you are disqualified.” (Sword Saint)

“What!?” (Black Man)

It was an unexpected reply, as the black man hardened.

“You know that. Don’t ask anything. Think carefully before you listen. There is a possibility of disqualification just by listening.” (Sword Saint)

The Sword Saint seemed to be shocked.
And those who heard those words became increasingly cautious.

“Well, I wonder if he’s unexpectantly kind?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika is asking.
But Yogiri didn’t think so.

“A kind person, he wouldn’t say to kill each other. Hey, a little nice?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri raised his hand and called the Sword Saint.
The surrounding lines of sight all focused onto Yogiri at once.

“What is it. Didn’t you hear the story?” (Sword Saint)

The Sword Saint was further amazed.

“I can be disqualified or whatever. We just happened to pa.s.s by chance, and I don’t mind killing you, so can we go home?” (Yogiri)

“Wh-what’s up!” (Dragon Loli)

Before the Sword Saint, the dragon girl who was on the side was surprised.

“Haven’t I met the Sword Saint now? Please show me the exit quickly. So, how about it?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri responded to the girl and pressed the Sword Saint for an answer.

“Ho? Could you come to such a place and just happen? It seems not to be an atmosphere that you realized you are afraid, but if you forgive me it will be ruined……well then, let’s do this. If anyone escapes from this square, all of you are disqualified. Consider the situation based on that.” (Sword Saint)

“It turned out to be a bit bothersome.” (Yogiri)

Apparently it now seems that Yogiri and others had been incorporated as part of the exam.

“Hey, you did it. I guess the Sword Saint was cut and stretched, it was probably nothing¹. I guess you do not want to see a bunch of you getting f.u.c.ked up. Let’s break the time as well? It’s sufficient from now. Everyone will be disqualified if there isn’t less then half after a while.” (Sword Saint)

Those words triggered the situation.
The man who was in black drew the sword on his back.
n.o.body was careful about it.
Just the sword of the man was superb.
The man next to us was slashing in a hurry without the technique to do it.
The sword that came in from the left shoulder pa.s.ses through to the right side of the arm.
Whether there was power behind the blow or not, the slain man split into two and blew away gently.
And a part of the man fell short of Tomochika.

“Oops.” (Tomochika)

Tomochika stepped down once, avoiding the body of the rolling man.

『Your lord has gotten used to this place.』(Mokomoko)

The ghost

Mokomoko said as if impressed.

“I can’t keep saying ‘Kya!’ at this level now……” (Tomochika)

While saying such a thing, the angry roar began to echo around. Each and everyone started fighting.

“Ahh!” (Yogiri)

“What’s wrong?” (Tomochika)

When Yogiri raised a surprised voice, Tomochika asked him.

“No, I think the sword of that person is black until the blade.” (Yogiri)

“Oh, it’s true, it’s black so far……I don’t care!” (Tomochika)

“But, what’s wrong? It’s easy to escape.” (Yogiri)

In that case, there will be something to try to prevent it.
As soon as she tried to say it, it became reality.
Was it thought that it was easy to give out, or was it supposed to escape first.
Some of them pointed their swords to Yogiri.
Then, let’s kill.
Almost at the same time Yogiri decided so, the swordsmen who wore armor of white-silver emerged like a fire at Yogiri.
Although it is full plate armor, there isn’t much sense of profoundness, it was like a tailored suit.
Each part seems to be made quite thin and smart, and it may be one reason that makes you think that you aren’t wearing a helmet.

“Please be relieved. Let me defend you!²” (Silver Swordsman)

The swordsman turns a refreshing smile at Yogiri, then turns straight forward.

“You also do stupid things. I don’t know the intention of Sword Saint-sama at all! Sword Saint-sama will not just allow you to kill people indiscriminately! Whether you can take appropriate action as a swordsman, that’s the exam!” (Swordsman)

“There are some places where it seems to be inflexible, but it’s a decent person……I won’t believe it so easily!” (Tomochika)

Considering what he has done so far, it’s doubtful whether this person is decent.
It was unavoidable for Tomochika to think so.

『I’m pretty sure. As for the purpose of aiming of being a Sword Saint and gathering those who are skilled people here, this man pulled out one head.』(Mokomoko)

The Silver Swordsmen use lightweight swords and shields to treat several of them simultaneously.
The policy in this place seemed careless, and the swordsmen showed enough ability to pull it down even after getting down.
But no matter how strong this guy is, it’s a swordsman to the last.
From a far distance, we can’t cope with those who aimed at Yogiri and others with magic or missiles.
At the moment when he felt clear killing intent, Yogiri activated his power.
About 10 people fell at the same time.

“Eh? What on earth is this?” (Silver Swordsman)

The Silver Swordsman stopped the battle’s hand for a moment at the mysterious event.

“That’s it, uh–” (Tomochika)

“I see, it’s the power of Sword Saint-sama! Sword Saint-sama didn’t have a sword, and it didn’t look like he was moving at all, but for Sword Saint-sama there is no difficulty for such a degree! That’s why the bad guys were defeated!” (Silver Swordsman)

Tomochika tried to fake it somehow, but it seemed not necessary.
And, for the a.s.sailant who was in front of the swordsman’s ability and mysterious death, he changed his mind as easily as possible.

“Hmm. For the time being it will be safe. It happened to have pa.s.sed through. I think that it’s a disaster, but the test of the Sword Saint-sama is also important. Do you wish for me to not a.s.sociate for a while longer?” (Silver Swordsman)

If anyone escaped they would be disqualified, so they probably stabbed a nail.
Yogiri didn’t know about swordsmen, but he was hesitant to break up.

“All right. I will see the situation for a while.” (Yogiri)

“Please understand and be saved. We do our best to prevent harm, so we are concerned about that point.” (Silver Swordsman)

For the time being, he agreed to keep on looking at it.
For now there isn’t anything aiming at Yogiri and others, and the surroundings seem to be calm, but a weak voice is heard there.

“…….U~u……help me……” (???)

Yogiri and others turned their eyes to the source of the voice.
It was the first man to be slain.
Because he was cut obliquely, he is rolling on the ground with only a head and a right hand.
It is mysterious for him to be alive.

“This is……unfortunately.” (Silver Swordsman)

The Silver Swordsmen shake their heads.
He guessed it was judged that there was no way to lend a hand.
Yogiri also agreed.

“No, that, don’t give up so easily……that, that girl there. Come over here and help me!” (Man)

The man was desperately trying to shout, despite all his last power.

『Hmm. You can speak well in the state that the lungs work extremely hard.』(Mokomoko)

“Well. What do you think I should do?” (Tomochika)

“I don’t feel like killing him, so I don’t think that it’s something to plan.” (Yogiri)

“Oh, is that so? Well if you take care of……” (Tomochika)

Tomochika approached the fallen man.

“Is that okay? You can do it if you hold my hand.” (Tomochika)

“……that, it’s fallen there, pick up the rainbow-colored stone……” (Man)

A rainbow-colored stone was scattered around.
The man’s possessions seemed to have gotten dumped when he was slashed.
Tomochika picked up the rainbow-colored stone.

“What is this?” (Tomochika)

“That is……apologize stone……” (Man)

“Apologize? So what are you going to do?” (Tomochika)

“……please let me grab onto it with my right hand.” (Man)

Tomochika did what he said.
Then, the man’s right hand started shining.
And, in a moment the man had revived.³
Even though he didn’t have a quarter of his whole body, he was in a state of whole-body satisfaction.⁴
Looking at his whole body in this way, he was a man with a tight body.

“What?” (Tomochika)

“Well, I was saved! I had thought it was no good!” (Man)

The man’s body was back to the condition before it was cut.
Even his clothes are restored, not a single scar.
Yogiri looked around, but he couldn’t find the left side of the body.
It seems that it restored to the same as it was originally.

“This is it. This is an item called Star Crystal in which we apologize. It’s a useful thing that can be used variously, such as repairing major injuries and turning gacha⁵.” (Man)

“Is it sos.h.a.ge⁶!? Who, what, what do you apologize for!?” (Tomochika)

“Stop it!” (Sword Saint)

When Tomochika was confused, the Sword Saint scoffed.
Those in the square stopped moving at once.

“We have decreased many. Well, then I will change the location. Follow me.” (Sword Saint)

As he was saying so, the Sword Saint went out of the square.
After that, a mountain of dead corpses is left.
It was about 30% that survived.

“……You were saying what actions are appropriate for the Sword Saint, but after all, now I just feel like he wanted to reduce people……” (Tomochika)

“No, I guess this is a deep thought for Sword Saint-sama. He may have immense ideas that are unfathomable for us ordinary people.” (Silver Swordsman)

The Silver Swordsman didn’t shake even with the question of Tomochika.

“First-stage exam? It seemed like it ended, so we don’t need to follow, right? Please guide me to the exit.” (Yogiri)

“No, that, it is a bit of a thing to return you in this situation……” (Dragon Loli)

The dragon girl’s way of speaking was bad.
It seems that she was judging that it would be problematic to return the candidate without permission.

“Understood. Talk to the Sword Saint for the time being, I hope to get out to a good extent, don’t you?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri is getting a bit awkward, but it is difficult to pa.s.s through this canyon without a guide.
Yogiri hung up to join until he could leave with her.
