Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 120

Episode 120

Beatrice was looking at me with surprised eyes.

I don’t know why she came to see me, but it was a good opportunity for me to avoid this situation.

“I think something happened to me now. “Let’s spar next time.”

“Uhm… I can’t help it. “If it’s a women’s issue.”

It seemed like there was some misunderstanding, but I didn’t have any intention of clearing it up.

It’s troublesome to make them understand it one by one.

-Humans are busy?

I tapped the hatchling’s head as it looked at me with bright eyes and nodded.

-Humans are busy again. I can’t play.

The hatchling became sullen and entered the room.

‘I’ll play with you later.’

I’m tired now.

So, I turned my attention to Beatrice, thinking to myself that I would play with her even the things I couldn’t play next time.

“I’m leaving.”

The Mercenary King quietly left his seat and Beatrice looked at me quietly.

“I heard that the mercenary king was a foodie, but seeing it in person was even more shocking.”

“Is it so strange for him to be here?”

“I guess so.”

She nodded.

The mercenary king hated being tied down somewhere to the point where he almost hated it.

I think that’s what she was trying to say.

“As far as I know, the Mercenary King is looking for a successor and doesn’t stay in one place for long. She said she recently found a successor…”

She looked at me.

There was a thought in her eyes that said, ‘That was you.’

I didn’t think about it that way.

Because I already rejected it.

“I’m not sure about that. “Whether he seeks a successor or not is none of my business.”

“…?”

“I’m a millennium.”

“Ah…”

Millennium’s name was very convenient because it had the power to make others understand without having to bother making excuses.

Even though I used a sword, the fact that I was Millennium’s successor did not change.

‘There is no way I will become a count unless the count dies.’

It is said that the Archmage can control his lifespan to a certain extent, so there is no way he will die unless he wants to.

“But… I guess you feel comfortable talking to me now? “You avoided me like that last time.”

“…Because there is no longer a need for that.”

Her face turned red.

He hit me on the shoulder, asking me why I should care about that.

“Let’s do our best tomorrow.”

“okay. bye.”

She waved her hand and went on her way.

The reason she came here in the first place is that the way to her room has to pass by my room.

Somehow, the timing was right and I was able to get her help.

-Humans are fast?

“what.”

-Play with me!

“I’m tired. “I’ll play with you next time.”

-But humans are so busy these days.

When I entered the room, the hatchling clung to me and whined.

He grabbed my arm and shook it wildly, asking me to play with him.

“They said they would play next time.”

-Are humans real?

“uh.”

-It’s not a lie?

“What have I got to gain by lying to you? “I’m not lying, just leave me alone for today.”

-I get it! You promised me! If you don’t keep your promise, I’ll get angry!

“Okay…”

I stretched out my hand to the hatchling who was lying on the bed and chattering away.

-What is it?

I grabbed the hatchling and held it in my arms.

The warmth of the hatchling, which is hotter than a person, made me drowsy.

-Humans sleep?

“Uh…”

-Okay. I sleep too!

The hatchling squirmed in my hand and then settled down in my arms.

***

Knock knock.

I was sleeping soundly when someone knocked on the door.

“young master. “I have prepared face wash.”

“Ah… come in.”

Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice cracked.

“yes.”

Ellis came inside, carrying clothes and facial cleansers in her arms.

As she entered, she glanced around the room and smiled.

“This is what you will wear today.”

“uh.”

She laid out her clothes on the chair and tidied up the room with familiar movements.

In that short time of washing my face and changing my clothes, the room was cleaned up in an instant.

“I have prepared a simple snack. Would you like to eat it? “It will fill your stomach.”

“Um… I’m going to eat it. “Bring it here.”

“yes.”

I wanted to eat comfortably.

Ellis brought pre-prepared food on a tray.

The amount was too large to be considered food that would simply satisfy one’s hunger.

Even though the food seemed to be enough for three people, I accepted it without any hesitation.

‘We eat hatchlings together, so this isn’t enough.’

Dragons were famously gluttons.

The adult boasted an enormous appetite, requiring it to eat three ogres to fill its stomach.

There was nothing different about hatchlings.

Right now, since the hatchling is still young, it only eats a small amount, but when the hatchling grows up, the finances of the estate can be depleted just by the cost of food.

The good news is that millennials are rich enough to afford food.

Second, it takes hundreds of years for hatchlings to become adults.

As a human being, it would have been difficult for me to survive until then.

It was after I died that the hatchling became an adult.

“Can we just go straight to the forest entrance?”

“yes. “Everyone is waiting there.”

“You’re waiting?”

“There was someone who showed up in advance. “You’re not late, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

I looked at her while chewing my salad.

If she left, the hatchling would have something to eat, but she showed no sign of leaving.

“No work?”

“no. a lot.”

“Then go and do it.”

“Are you okay?”

“Is there anything else that’s not okay? “It’s okay because I’ve done well without you.”

“Hmm….”

She looked worried.

“I understand that you want to meet me for a long time and stay for a long time. Today isn’t the only day. Now go and finish all your work.”

“Is that okay?”

I said it as a joke, but she took it seriously.

I never dreamed that he stayed because he really wanted to be by my side.

I felt embarrassed and scratched my cheek.

“Then you didn’t want to come? “My exclusive maid is next to me. Where are you going?”

Her face brightened at my continued words.

She quickly nodded and spoke as if she was making a promise.

“We will get things sorted out as quickly as possible.”

“Slow down. If you do it in a hurry, you might ruin what you were good at. “You can just do it the way you are now, so don’t be in a hurry.”

“yes!”

“Oh, I’ll take care of these things. “If I finish eating, I can tell the maid outside, right?”

“yes. “I will tell you in advance.”

“okay. “Then go now.”

“young master. “I hope you have a nice day.”

She bowed her head and left the room with brisk steps.

-A human went out?

The hatchling, who had been curled up in the blanket until then, poked out his head.

“uh. “You can come out and eat.”

-It’s meat!

The hatchling came out from under the blanket, flapped its wings, and clung to the tray.

When I saw that he was eating well, I thought it was a good thing he didn’t eat meat and only ate salad.

“I’ll go first. “Eat and play by yourself.”

-You’re not taking me with you?

“You take care of that. “If you want to be with me, come as I am, and if you don’t want to, just hang out as much as you want.”

I left the room, emphasizing ‘as much as I want.’

A maid was waiting quietly by the door.

“When the rattling sound goes away inside, come in and clean it up.”

“yes. young master.”

I passed her with her head down and headed straight to the forest where the hunting event was being held.

Murmur.

As Ellis said, a large number of nobles had gathered even though it was not yet time.

“Hey, Raymond…!”

“You won’t team up with me, right?”

“Don’t be a fool for nothing. Don’t you remember Kaham? “That guy messed up and ended up ruined.”

The nobles’ eyes were focused on me.

Rather than approaching me, it felt like they were avoiding me out of annoyance.

It was obvious that they were worried that they too would end up like Kaham.

‘It’s comfortable and nice.’

It was better to be quiet like now rather than approaching each other and talking.

Since I had already cleared the forest once, I was not very interested in this hunting event.

“Oh Raymond. “You came out early.”

The crown prince appeared.

He was wearing plate armor that only covered his main body and was holding only a spear.

The space next to him was shaking.

Others didn’t seem to notice, but I could see it.

“…!”

The crown prince’s guard, who was watching the surroundings, made eye contact with me and looked surprised.

He froze, as if he had never imagined that I would find him.

For a moment, he nodded and put his index finger to his mouth as if he could do that.

‘I won’t say anything even if I don’t.’

It’s obvious that it’s going to be a hassle, but I don’t want to do something that stands out.

Because my mere existence was enough.

“This was the thing I most wanted to participate in at the Millennium banquet. “It’s about forming a team of people who want to hunt monsters.”

As he approached and spoke, he was filled with excitement that he could not hide.

“When I was in the royal castle, I had to be careful about my every move, so every day was frustrating.”

He held out his hand to me, shaking the spear he was holding back and forth.

“Good luck with your hunting today.”

“….”

I looked down at that hand.

I hadn’t even decided to team up with him yet, but he was thinking that of course I would.

‘There’s no one in particular to team up with, but…’

But it wasn’t like there wasn’t one at all.

“Raymond.”

“Oh, Miss Selina.”

“I have a favor to ask…”

“What is it?”

“Would you like to team up with me?”

There was Selina who immediately wanted to team up with me.

As soon as she saw me, she came over and bowed her head, as if she hadn’t seen the crown prince next to her.

Instead of feeling offended, the Crown Prince smiled with interest at her.

“It doesn’t matter to me, but will it be okay with you, Crown Prince?”

“me? I don’t care. “All you have to do is team up with me.”

“That’s right. Would you like to join us?”

Nobles want to be liked by the royal family, but on the other hand, they also shy away from the royal family.

It was a known fact that the moment one was photographed by the royal family, it became very difficult.

That’s why she tends to be very careful when doing anything with the royal family, but in addition, Selina had rejected the crown prince’s request once.

The relationship between the two was inevitably awkward, so I wondered if the two could really form a team.

“If you say yes, I would be grateful.”

Contrary to her expectations, she readily accepted.

Her smiling eyes turned to the side.

“…!”

Beatrice was there, biting her lip and looking this way.

A deep smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Beatrice.

Beatrice looked back at Selina and me, then turned and left.

“Please take care of me. “It is an honor for His Majesty the Crown Prince to be with us.”

“I am. It is an honor to be with the famous Miss Selina.”

Contrary to expectations, the hunt began in a harmonious atmosphere.
