Volume 2 Chapter 1 Encountering The Holy Knight Lily
"Nice to meet you. I am Lily Frambell, an adventurer affiliated with the 'Shield of the Holy Emperor.' I have come here after hearing that Rain Garland-sama is present."
A beautiful young knight bows to us.
Even without introducing herself, I knew who she was.
Lily, the Holy Knight who was certified as an S-rank adventurer at the youngest age in history. Her skills reverberate throughout the continent.
At the age of seven, she defeated five low-level dragons. At twelve, she defeated and tamed a mid-level dragon. And now, at seventeen, she has the ability to defeat advanced dragons on her own.
She was a young genius knight, known as the ace of the strongest guild on the continent, the 'Shield of the Holy Emperor.'
"I'm Rain..."
"It seems you are Rain-sama. Actually, I would like to ask for sword enhancement..."
"Enhancement?"
"I know it may seem pushy to suddenly intrude and make such a request, but I want to become stronger. Lately, I've been facing a little bit of a wall, and I want to seize an opportunity to break through it."
Lily looked desperate.
"I see."
There is no reason to refuse.
"If there is anything I can do, I will do it. So, please consider it... huh?"
"You don't have to beg so desperately, I'll strengthen it. It's not such a difficult technique."
I said with a smile.
Since the "Strengthening points" will decrease, I will have to replenish them with monster extermination or something. If it's a dragon-class opponent, I can recover them quickly.
"Thank you...! However, I cannot accept it for free."
Lily said.
"Please let me do something in return, Rain-sama. Consider the strengthening as the reward."
"It's fine, though."
"Excellent work requires compensation."
said Lily.
"I have quested with adventurers from the guild 'Fang of the Beast King' that you used to belong to before. The enchantment magic on their weapon was top-notch. I still remember well... how an ordinary sword cut through dragon scales with its enhanced sharpness."
"I see, 'Fang of the Beast King'..."
"I visited there about half a day ago, but you weren't there. So I followed your footsteps and came here."
Lily then said,
"In 'Fang of the Beast King,' you were supposed to be on vacation, but then I looked into it and it seems like you transferred over here..."
"Ah, well, um, I got exiled from my previous guild."
I explained with a wry smile.
"Exiled?! Rain-sama!?"
Lily's eyes widened in surprise.
"To expel an enchantment magic master with such skill..."
"Well, um, there were some misunderstandings and stuff."
I evasively mumbled.
Actually, I felt like I was discarded without mercy as if I was no longer needed.
It's not like I want to explain that much to someone I just met, and even if it's true, it feels like I'm unfairly speaking ill of the other person unilaterally...
"...I didn't mean to pry. I'm sorry."
"N-no, it's okay. Don't apologize."
She seemed more stunned than I had expected, so I hurriedly spoke.
From Lily's perspective, she must have thought she had asked something bad and felt guilty.
Although she looks assertive, she seems to have a gentle personality.
──*Clang!*
Suddenly, a high-pitched sound came from the sword hanging from my waist.
"Huh, what...?"
I drew the Copper Sword from its sheath.
The blade was broken in half.
To think that a sword that had been enhanced by +10000 would break...
"...Looks like its lifespan has come to an end. It seems to be a cheap copper sword."
Lily said as she looked at the sword.
"I see. Even if the attack power increases through enhancement, it doesn't necessarily increase the durability."
I had unleashed a strike powerful enough to tear through space twice. It couldn't be helped if the blade couldn't withstand it.
"Rather, it's impressive that it managed to strike twice... Just the fact that it didn't break with one strike is amazing."
I strangely found myself impressed.
By the way, regarding Strengthening points, they won't disappear even if the sword breaks.
However, I can't just keep holding onto it like this, so I have to transfer it to something else.
"Hmm... What should I do?"
