Chapter 131 – Roxy's Decision

The sword soared to the sky, and ending up piercing deep into the ground.

At that time, both me and Aaron were laying on the ground out of breath. As for me it was due to forcibly restraining the gluttony skill on semi-starving state.

While Aaron was out of stamina due to continuous activation of his evolved technique 《Grand Cross Returnable》.

That was how the duel we arranged ended.

Eris who was sitting on a grandstand stood up and applauded us. She's been grinning as she watched our duel over a drink… Roxy and the other bystanders did a similar things.

Surrounded by cheers and praises, both of us stood back up.

And then, Aaron took my right arm and raised it.

[…he has won]

Hearing the declaration, the bystanders became even more excited.

After saying thanks to Aaron, I fell back down to sitting position. He's just that ridiculous. An evolved technique should've placed a lot of burden to the user's body. It couldn't be that he had mastered it to such extent after only that short training period, right?

I wiped the blood flowing out from my eye with my sleeve, and raised my hand.

[Aaron, please help me up.]

[Ah, sorry]

Aaron helped me got up with a laugh, and gave me a warm head pat.

[You have bee stronger… no, you were already strong the first time we met. But your heart have bee even stronger than back then. I am no longer able to stand against you]

[No, that's not really the case. I'm not as experienced as Aaron still.]

[If it is just experience, you will obtain that as you grow older. It is not something you must rush. And as you grow older…you'll realize that there are things you can't surpass with experience alone. It's valuable, but not the most important thing.]

He said so, then turned to the queen who was still cheering at us.

[I proclaim that Milord here is now the new Sword Saint. For he has defeated me brilliantly. With so many witnesses, there should be nothing to plain about. From now on, the future will be in the hand of this promising young man.]

[Aaron… I…]

But I don't have much time left. There is not much future in me. Gluttony skill had already begun to alter my body.

With nothing to stop it, I'll soon die in the near future.

I'm not even sure if I will return from this uping journey. But when I tried to explain it, Aaron interrupted me with a raised voice.

[Even so… You have to return!!]

I was lost for words.

His stare darted straight at me, it's clear to me that he meant every word he said.

[No matter how difficult, and how unlikely it is, you have to return!! I believe in Fate and will wait here for your return.]

[…]

[You must not fcomet. Here is the place where Milord must return to]

Aaron's words resonated heavily for me who once lost my place to go home.

Wherever I go, no matter how far… even if I lost my way, regardless of anything, I'm sure that I'll find my way back here.

As always, he gives me courage to march forward.

Touched by Aaron's words, my answer is only obvious.

[Being unreasonable as usual. Making this kind of arrangement…]

[Unless I did so, Milord would just opt to take the easy way. And there is no way I leave my son feeling troubled. Now then, what will Fate's reply be?]
