Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! - Chapter 160

The Northern Country 7

“Now, this is the collection room.”

When I entered the room Lute-sama guided us to, I could see it was crammed with weapons.
Are these things really weapons? The things inside made me want to tilt my head, it’s no doubt amazing.
We were fascinated by the nature of his collection.

“Ah, if there’s anything that catches your eyes, feel free to touch it. Although I’ve said it’s a collection, it’s not just for watching. I’d be happy if you also used these weapons.”

Saying such words, did he notice we were interested?
Immediately, Allen-kun and Sasuke-san started picking up what interested them.
Sasuke-san is somehow unusual is he excited?
I approached Sasuke-san curiously.

‘Hey hey, this is why, is it here? Wow~, such, a thing. No way.’

Sasuke-san muttered to himself, and he lifted something resembling a sword.
He seems to know what it is.
I tried talking to the unusual Sasuke-san.

“Sasuke-san, you seem surprisingly excited, did you find something unusual?”

Sasuke-san answered my question with unusual excitement.

“There. This. Why, is, something, like this, here. Moreover, two of them.”

Sasuke-san lifted both weapons.
Lute-sama, who noticed the situation, came here.

“Ah, are you interested in them? They come from the Eastern Country and are called ‘katana’. They seem to be quite famous, but these weapons aren’t commonplace in the Northern Country Ive also tried them once, but as expected it was difficult. Hmm, if you want I’ll hand them over. Sasuke-dono, you appear to be from the Eastern Country, can you handle them better than me?”

Lute-sama’s words surprised Sasuke-san.
Hmm, after all you’d hesitate if you were told it’s a famous weapon.

“No It’s, alright. I didn’t, expect them, to be, here, so I was, surprised Just, that. Please take care, of, them.”

Sasuke-san refused Lute-sama’s offer.
Or rather, it’s rare for him to put effort into polite speech.

“I see I understand, please tell me if you change your mind. They’re a gift, but a weapon will be pleased to be handled by somebody proficient with it.”

Lute-sama told Sasuke-san gently.
This person, he really loves weapons.
When Sasuke-san heard Lute-sama’s word, he muttered.

‘A gift? No way, that guy. No, but, as expected, of that guy, to hand them over is possible? Ah, it’s possible.’

I’m not quite sure I understand, but it seems he has an idea about who gave Lute-sama the weapons called katana.
But, he seems troubled, so let’s leave it alone.
I decided to look at different weapons away from Sasuke-san.
Because I haven’t seen many weapon types, just watching is fun.
Some seem to be just rods, it’s fun thinking about their usage.
While I was immersed in watching, Lute-sama spoke to me.

“Lillinsama, you look very enthusiastic, has something caught your eye?”

“Ah, yes. There are so many things here it’s fun watching.”

We spent that whole day looking at Lute-sama’s collection.
By the way, Sasuke-san was looking at the katana all this time.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Lute-sama made his offer again, but it seems Sasuke-san refused.

Then at the dinner, granduncle

“Speaking of which, when I told my acquaintance that my older sister would come, they told me to pa.s.s her a written invitation to a party by all means.”

When grandmother received the invitation from granduncle, after confirming the contents she let out a big sigh.

“Lucian you know it’s hosted by the king, don’t you?”

Yeah~~, from their way of talking it seemed to be from a friend, but is it a party sponsored by the king?
Hearing grandmother’s words, we, who were having a meal, stiffened.

“Yeah, King Garuda wanted to see you after all this time, older sister”

“That guy, he’s still aiming at Leafia!”

Grandfather barked to interrupt granduncle.
Did the king love grandmother?

“No, as one would expect he gave up already, brother-in-law. He’s now devoted to the queen. Well, King Garuda and the queen are the fans of ‘Fairy Princess’. They absolutely wouldn’t stay silent when they learned you are coming home. So, could you partic.i.p.ate this one time? Of course, Lillina and her friends, please partic.i.p.ate as well.”

Huh? Are we going too?

“I see, Lillina and her friends too I wonder if we should partic.i.p.ate. I want to show the n.o.bility of this country. It will surely be interesting.”

It’s scary that you used the word ‘interesting’, grandmother.
