- Chapter 7: Sword Saint Alesia Won't Go Home for Some Reason
Somehow, Sword Saint Alesia had come along to distribute flyers. I told her that she didn’t need to go out of her way to accompany me since she wasn’t even an employee.
“It’s not a problem at all! Be, being out with the master…”
“Huh? What? Well, if Alesia is okay with it, then it’s fine.”
“I-I will distribute the flyers anyway!”
Somehow, Alesia’s face was turning red. Hmm, I wonder if she’s holding a lot of stress from her job. Although she’s known as one of the Three Divines, she’s a girl of age. She seems to be taking a substantial break, so if it helps her change her mood, it’s fine.
As always, people are gathering around Liena. Well, she is an exceptionally beautiful girl, and above all, her smile is just too dazzling.
Even I would take anything handed out by Liena.
Then, I turned my eyes to Alesia.
“Hey! You over there! Choose between staying at the inn or decapitation!”
Whoaaaa~~~ Don’t draw the sacred sword so easilyyyyy!
That’s not handing out flyers, that’s a threatttttt!
Alesia has always been a bit shy around people and sometimes blurts out extreme words. That hasn’t changed.
But this is bad…
The square started to buzz when Alesia drew her sacred sword.
People are gathering rapidly.

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, this could become my responsibility as the inn owner.
Upon further thought, I’ve had a princess and a Sword Saint distribute flyers. Such an insignificant old man as me.
Should I dash home? Yeah, that’s the only way. I tried to tell the two girls, but I couldn’t approach them as a crowd had already formed.
“A sword that emits a rainbow light? Hey, isn’t that a sacred sword!?”
“What!? Does that mean that she is the famed Sword Saint of Fridania!?”
“No way… The real Sword Saint, she’s so gallant♡”
BuzzBuzzBuzz
Ahhh~~~ because she drew that sacred sword~~~
Alesia’s sacred sword, which shines in rainbow colors when drawn, stands out. A divine sword with the glow of a rainbow is widely known information among the general public.
“Hey, the girl with golden hair next to her, isn’t she a princess…?”
“Yes! That’s indeed Princess Liena!”
“Our princess is also an unparalleled beauty♡”
The true identities of the two girls were starting to be revealed. Rather, they were completely exposed. Everything about this situation was bad!
I want to get away from here for now! But I can’t get close to the two girls at all! Even an old man nearby is throwing his cane to approach them.
I’ll pick up the cane for now. The old man will need it later. But both girls are way too popular.
While this was happening, people kept calling others, and the square began to become a mess.
“Uwaaaah!”
“Kyaaah!”
“Watch out!”
As I was panicking about the crowd, I heard many screams from the far end of the main street.
I looked in the direction of the screams and saw a large horse-drawn carriage careening toward us.
The driver of the carriage seemed to have already been thrown off, as no one was on it.
“This is bad! If it crashes into this crowd, it will be a catastrophe!”
Alesia seemed to have noticed the disturbance too, as I felt her 【Fighting Spirit】 swell. The glow of the sacred sword increased.
Wait, this is bad! If she uses the sacred sword here, there might be other collateral damage. It’s too powerful! I took a breath, gathered my 【Fighting Spirit】, and shouted.
“───Alesiaaaaa! Wait! I’ll handle this!”
“Ye-Yes! Master!”
I couldn’t see her in the crowd, but Alesia responded. Good!
───Old man, sorry, but I need to borrow this cane!
I held the cane with both hands, channeling my 【Fighting Spirit】 throughout my body.
“Uuuuuuuuu~”
The runaway carriage, pulled by four horses, charged at us, kicking up a tremendous cloud of dust.
───Swoosh
“【One Strike, Two Cuts】!! Sei!”
The moment a ray of light slipped between the horses, the carriage itself made a tremendous noise and bounced on the spot.
I had driven the pressure of 【One Strike, Two Cuts】 into the body of the carriage. It’s a cane, so rather than cutting, it’s more like slamming the pressure.
The carriage bounced several times on the spot, but I was able to completely stop its runaway momentum.
The harnessed horses were probably surprised by the impact, but they quickly calmed down.
“Phew… It stopped somehow.”
Looking around, it seemed that no one was seriously injured. Good.
I return the cane to the old man who is trembling on the spot. Here you go, you’ll tremble without it, won’t you? You shouldn’t have thrown it away.
“Woah, m-my cane shone like the Sword Saint’s sacred sword! I’ll treasure it as a family heirloom!”
Huh? What are you talking about? Just use it normally. The cane only has my handprints on it.
“Aaaaah, who is that old man… to stop a runaway carriage so effortlessly…”
“He silenced the Sword Saint, known as one of the Three Gods, in an instant. How can he make his voice so loud?”
No, no, I merely directed my 【Fighting Spirit】 at the carriage. There must be plenty of knights in Natol who can do that.
“As expected of Master!”
“Baldo-sama, you’re amazing!”
Alesia and Liena ran to me, grasping my hands from both sides.
These two are exaggerating again…
Furthermore, words of gratitude from the people around me began to swell.
What’s going on here? I had sworn to live a quiet and slow life with the innkeeper.
I’m standing out way too much!
I’ve finished handing out the flyers, so I want to leave this place as soon as possible.
I can’t bear any more! I forcibly pulled the two girls’ hands and decided to leave this place. Then Liena, with a broad smile, began to shout loudly, “Everyone, please come to Innkeeper Inn! We look forward to your visit!”
Whaaaat is Liena doing? I don’t want to stand out any more!
“Oh, that’s the inn from the flyer earlier!”
“I’ll introduce it to my friend who’s a transporter!”
“I’ll hype it up at the Adventurers Guild!”
Huh? Is this turning out well?
“Hehe, Baldo-sama. Now our advertising is perfect, isn’t it?”
“Eh… ah, yes.”
◇◇◇
Ahh, I suddenly feel exhausted. I’m not used to being seen by so many people.
I changed into a white T-shirt, letting out a sigh of relief.
I sweated a lot from the strange tension. I’m conscious of being an old man, so I don’t think I smell bad, but I changed into a white tee just to be sure. It’s purely for the sake of working comfortably.
Well, anyway, I’ve handed out the flyers. Now it’s just a matter of whether or not the customers will come.
“L-Liena! Does this suit me?”
“Hehe, it looks very good on you. Alesia, you’re cute♡”
“R-Really? I’ll go show it to Master!”
I hear Liena and Alesia’s voices from the back. They seem to have become good friends. But when will Alesia return to Fridania?
Alesia comes out from the back.
I thought she was preparing to leave, but she’s wearing some frilly clothes…
“Master! I’ve decided!”
Decided? What?
Why is she wearing a maid outfit?
“Please make me an employee! I’ll live here! With you, Master!”
Huh? What is this girl talking about!? Isn’t she a Sword Saint?
