Chapter 3.1: Yukina’s Parents
「Sorry for suddenly calling you like this, Sheena. Well, let’s not beat around the bush… Please break up with my daughter.」
Yukina, who became a member of the Hero’s party, would return to her birthplace soon. We received this news from the fast horse that arrived in the village two days ago. Thanks to that the village was in a festive mood. Naturally, as the only young man in the village, I helped with the preparations around the village.
And then, during such a busy time. Yukina’s parents called me to their house.
「… Why?」
She was the girl who I loved with all my heart. Both of our parents had also given their approval.
When her parents suddenly told me to break up with her, I felt as if my entire world was about to collapse. I barely managed to squeeze that short question out of all the other things that I wanted to tell them. I am even surprised by the fact that I… managed to squeeze that word.
Yukina’s father, Uncle Conie, gritted his teeth as if he was carefully choosing his next words. Maybe because she was worried about her husband, auntie Shirona tapped her husband’s shoulder, then spoke to me.
「Yukina has become the Hero-sama’s lover.」
At that moment, I could feel blood rapidly rising to my head. I barely stopped my right hand with my trembling left hand, and heaved a sigh to calm myself. It’s not like I had never considered such a possibility. Somewhere in my heart, I was prepared for this.
I knew that something like this would happen someday.
「Why… Yukina….! Or rather, how did you two know about this?」
The two looked at each other and nodded the moment I asked that question. Uncle Conie left his seat, went into their room, and returned immediately.
「These are letters we received from Yukina. Do you want to read them?」
「… No thanks.」
The reason why I refused was precisely because I didn’t want to see what she had written in those letters. I didn’t want to read them in my current situation. I knew that if the current me reads these letters, I might end up tearing them to shreds from anger and frustration.
「I see. We can read them for you, but…」
「Dear, that’s enough. Don’t corner Sheena anymore.」
「I know that. But, in these letters…」
It seems something written in them made him anxious.
Seeing uncle Conie’s expression, I clenched my fist so hard to prevent myself from shouting “Don’t mess with me!” at them.
I know that their daughter is cute. I know that, but still… The things written in these letters might be nothing more than excuses that Yukina told her parents. And if that really was the case, I might not be able to suppress my rage any longer.
「… So letters from Yukina did come, eh.」
I adjusted my disordered breath to calm myself even if it was just a little bit. That fact did indeed make me want to read all of them.
It was something that had stopped coming to my place for half a year. I reached out my hand and took the topmost letter—the date was three days ago.
In short, Yukina only stopped sending letters to me. She kept sending letters until recently.
Now I understood why news of her could always reach such a remote village. The ones who had spread those news were these two in front of me.
「… Sorry.」
Uncle didn’t say anything and just bowed his head while apologizing to me. That gesture was enough to convince me that he wasn’t lying to me. I closed my eyes, and heaved a really deep sigh.
「Deep down, I knew that I had been betrayed. Yukina has truly become the Hero-sama’s woman, eh…」
「Uh… S-Sheena, I understand your feelings. But, Yukina… Saying that my daughter betrayed you… Is a little bit too much, right…?」
What in the world was this person talking about? She did betray me.
Uncle Conie was really getting on my nerves.
「No, dear. Yukina betrayed Sheena, that’s the truth. Even I have to say that our daughter is a b*tch who cheated on Sheena.」
I wouldn’t go as far as calling her a b*tch though, auntie.
I mean, aren’t you way too strict with your own daughter?
「B-But, the circumstances around Yukina… Moreover, what are you going to do if strange rumors about her, the Sword Saint, spread now…!」
「There’s only one name for an unfaithful girl who cheated on her fiancé with another man, a b*tch. Even if she’s the Sword Saint, I honestly want you to stop overly worrying about her. Hero-sama alone should be enough to save the world. Why does he need our daughter? I know that I have given birth to a girl with a mutation that made her grow up to be an incredible beauty. But, have you forgotten that she’s also the most idiotic airhead out there? Yeah, I’m really sad to know that our daughter turned out to be such… a b*tch.」
「O-Oi! Don’t say something as if you’re dissatisfied with giving birth to a Sword Saint! What are you going to do if divine punishment befalls you? Moreover, you should know the reason behind that right?!」
She wouldn’t get punished for that since it wasn’t a big deal. Moreover, I couldn’t do anything in this matter either since the other party was the Hero.
I also couldn’t deny the fact that Yukina was completely different from her parents, as if she wasn’t their real daughter… and a huge idiot on top of that.
「I can’t deny the fact that you are right, Shirona, but… That girl is currently known as a brave hero! There will be a huge commotion once Hero-sama finds out that she has a fiancé…!」
「Well, that’s true, but still…」
Auntie Shirona sent a sidelong glance toward me.
Ah, I understand now.
It was really important for these two to establish the fact that their daughter had no fiancé.
「I see, so the hero will come to talk to me and you don’t want me to say unnecessary things to him. Okay, I understand. She’s your adorable daughter after all.」
「T-That’s right… But, you don’t have to go as far as saying so—!」
「Sheena! You’re mistaken! We’re definitely not doing this for our daughter! We’re doing this for you!」
Honestly, this was the first time I heard such a shameless 「For you」.
Well, I had no intention to say anything either since it might bite me in the back later.
「… I know. Since that’s what you want, I’ll break up with her. I promise you that I won’t go after her again, ever.」
I closed my eyes, and spat those words.
The figure of the smiling Yukina reflected in my heart now felt like a cursed spear that pierced through me.
「R… Really?」
「Yeah, don’t make me say it again.」
「A-Are you really sure about this, Sheena? I mean, in the past year, you clearly…」
「You’re so noisy, auntie.」
I opened my eyes and spat such bone chilling words.
Both of them looked at me with a shocked look on their face.
It couldn’t be helped, I heaved a sigh,
「Yeah, I’m serious, I always knew since a long time ago that I’m not suitable for her. In fact, I’ve known since I was a child that she’s special. Yukina has always been a charming girl beyond the reach of a powerless boy like me.」
I opened my clenched fist and looked at my palm.
「She is such a clumsy, idiotic, mischievous, and charming girl… But, she’s also an honest and straightforward girl. She’s so charming for a man like me. I really couldn’t believe my luck when she became my fiancé. I kept saying to myself that I’ll make her the happiest wife in the world. I devoted myself towards my self-improvement with such passion you know? That’s just how much I… Love her. I really…!」
I spilled everything that I felt without telling a single lie.
The words that I couldn’t say in normal situations due to embarrassment overflowed from my mouth.
「But then, on that day. The day of our adulthood ceremony. She was chosen by the Goddess. And now, she is recognized as a Sword Saint by people around the world. On the other hand, what value do I have? I did my best to improve myself and somehow understood just how ignorant I am in the ways of the world. But, no matter how much I persevere and do my best, the me who is staying in this small, frontier hamlet… is clearly unsuited for her who has already gone out and seen the world outside of this village. That’s why I keep doing my best since I know that there’s no one out there… that can match her beauty.」
I spat out all those words in a single breath without averting my gaze from them.
There were so many things that I wanted them to know.
「That’s why I did my best to become a suitable man for her, even if it was just by a little bit. But then, all my efforts were in vain. I’ve had enough of this. Now listen, I’ll be a gentleman and back out if that will make Yukina happy. I mean, her lover is the Hero, right? How can someone like me win against someone of that status? I’ve yet to meet that Hero, but there’s nothing to compare between him, the hero chosen by the Goddess just like Yukina, and me, a mere, lowly villager. It’s not like Yukina won’t be happy without me… As for me, I… am not suited for Yukina after all. I won’t be able to travel with them, and even if I did, my strength is far too weak compared to them. You asked me to break up with her since you realized those facts, right?」
「「……………」」
The two fell into silence.
The look on their face told me everything, they never expected that I cared so much about their daughter.
Thus, they were at a loss for words when they heard from none other than me that I was not suited for her. But, that also means they agreed with me.
Dammit, I wouldn’t put so much effort if I didn’t care about their daughter.
Since this was a hamlet, and our houses were basically next to each other, they naturally knew what I did everyday.
In order to be prepared to welcome Yukina, who would be back who knows when, I went to the city and bought a present for her which I kept in my room. And yet, these two scolded me for hours since I disappeared for days without telling them anything.
The city was a three day walk from this village. Six days for a roundtrip. I slept outdoors during those days. I left the city as soon as I bought the present for her since I had no money to rent a room in the inn.
And yet, strangely enough, I didn’t think it was such a big deal. Rather, I enjoyed the process of walking to buy a present for Yukina. Because it felt like I was traveling together with her…
That’s just how much I cared and loved her.
I really… Really love her.
And then, I came upon a realization.
That what I felt might be love toward her.
I tried to think carefully. After cramming all sorts of knowledge in the past year, my brain is working much better compared to before.
You don’t know sugar honey iced tea
Not far enough
Rosa, If you were a woman, you would be my waifu
Dear author, it is alright to give us the detail of his emotion but holy sht, no one ask how fcking simp he was to it. Having such heartbreak sint easy especially if it is you first, but at least don’t make his explanation longer that it totally occupied the whole chapter plsss, it is irritating seriously
Lol, agreed.
Man you wasted all the dmn chapters just for him explaining who the heck this womb is and what tf that guy was, and like, come on dude
Refreshing to see a main character that won’t act like an idiot and ‘I need to rescue them because that is justice or whatnit’ thinking, thank God he wasn’t like that but I do felt sympathy towards those girls
So they are just the hero slaves?
funnier part is how she
I enjoyed her crying but it’s not enough,I want more, I WANT VENGEANCE, even though no one died
Oh believe me, the stage is set by the author, step-by-step very carefully. Remember, step-by-step!
Oh, this is kinda interesting. The thoughts of this Yukina and Yukina when she arrived at the village are polar opposites. Was that Yukina under manipulation or something?
I read a little bit in the raw, and the truth about Yukina and her betrayal is a lot darker and more doujin-themed. She’s even more pathetic (In a positive way) than Shirone in Ankoku Kishi Monogatari. She deserves redemption more than Shirone.
How dark are we talking? And how about the others then? What happened to them too? Can you spoil me to what happened to Sheena?
Serves you right
Seriously, I love the Mc now ngl, truly such a fitting Mc for this novel, love him, good job author, good job! 👍. And ngl, wtf is this btch problem anyway? Does she intended to make Sheena wore a green hat all the time? Like come one, I just wanted him to stay my ass, you just wanted him to see you getting fcked by the hero in front of him until he gone broke and battered like an old fragile doll man, the hell, yeah, Sheena said if right, SERVES YOU RIGHT!
yea, she so fuckig selfish “i wish he could come live in capitan near me after i broke my engagment and get married to a hero” does she have no self awarnes?
That is the problem to idiots, they don’t think
This chick can’t be serious. She’s claiming everyone is treating her differently yet is acting like she’s better than them. Also the release schedule in this series is inconsistent.
Btw where can I read the raws
Kakuyomu
It’s weekly released, the translated chapter
I hope he gets over the killing thing fast. ecstatically since he should know better. also I know Killing not great but he knows it need to be done. If he has to kill make it quick then less pain and that. I wounder if the author will throw the good old bandit mission
He used the most efficient method for that
It’s not easy to get over killing someone, especially since Sheena just started doing adventures and maybe in his whole life, he hasn’t even killed an animal. If that’s easy, then soldiers won’t suffer mental problems after they went to war.
I am guessing this is like Black saint book. I see in a way that Mia is not a normal girl. It to odd or just a tsu tsu. it just a guess
In which was she isn’t normal?
She’s filthy rich
Thanks for the chapter!
Yukina is literally delusional. She still expects to stay friends with him after she betrayed him, like really?
Come on man, as if it’s your first time seeing an idiot in action bro
Man, I hate this dumb btch ngl, how come this woman became a sword Saint with this mind set? Oh yeah, sword Saint sometimes lived by the sword, so I guess it needed a dumb monkey. Like she really did need to asked why Sheena doesn’t talk to her the same as before? Seriously!? Like come on girl, the God gives you a brain to use, please use it for fck sake.
I think the sage only has the brain in this group, seeing how vigilant she was but knowing she gives her body to him, I’m quite on the neutral side for her for now
Plot twist: The truth is a lot darker than you think, and Yukina is easier to sympathize with than Shirone in Ankoku Kishi Monogatari.
Okay I don’t about this novel you are talking so I went and search and oh my gosh, I don’t know the whole story for yukina, but shirone is just a dmb btch with zero braincells dude, I don’t how the tf this girls survived this world with such 0 common sense, like wtf
Even if he had tried to take her hand a year ago, they would have separated them by all means anyway. Also, I don’t believe mr. Hero is mr. Wonderful at all. I suspect a miserable life awaits her.
The sage was about to say something on him but stopped which means that this guy ain’t the man you wanted to have a relationship with.
hello I have 11 fantasy coins but I can’t seem to get them to this account to read this wonderful story. I don’t get how to transfer or buy chapters here. can I ask anyone who does know on how please?
join discord and contact larkspur
that’s what the management said…
Chapter 5.2 : As expected the hero is like a noble “HERO”, in the bad sense. But reviewing the MC’s personality I can imagine that the author is not a big fan of Japanese reading and must have studied some Korean and Chinese novels. As it is the prelude to a dark fantasy, it will probably still go through some difficulties, but that is what strengthens the protagonists physically and mentally.
The hero isn’t actually a bad person but, his personality did annoy the sage.
I m Patreon 4 nathin
Me encanta una lastima ser pobre jajaja
It was a good novel now that i caught up with the free chapters bye bye see ya in a couple of months
How get coins?
This part should explain how to get the coin:
https://f-w-o.com/faqs/
You can join our discord if you have more question.
I think thats for a different site, in that one just logging in is enough to earn some coins, do we have to like read free chapters útil we get coins, or do we pay somewhere for them?
the management are the same, they ran both sites.
I registered on the site and got 11 fantasy coins. Now how to use them on this site?
I asked the management side and here’s the reply:
-They just need to buy them and use it to end chapters essentially
-Locked chapters have auto req o coins
-Also, coins can be bought in the Lux section Of the website
Will the chapters be unlocked for free afterwards (from 3.1, onwards) or will it be permanently stuck behind a paywall?
unlocked one by one every sunday(and latest one added behind paywall)
The Hero is an aristocrat so the noble house who may have a commoner into their household would want to reduce any baggage she has, such as a fiance. A widow commoner would sound better in noble circle than an unfaithful commoner. So the “For you” part might be true.
