Quihano Side Story – Stars that have lost their light (1)
The posture of standing aside is like a sharp blade.
The cleverly placed left foot forced the opponent to respond.
“I am Quijano of the Frausen family.”
Although he appears to be a pale young man, the energy he exudes makes him look like a master swordsman.
The unknown shadow was momentarily taken aback by Kihano’s momentum, which did not allow any room to escape or dig in.
“Now say your name.”
I thought it was the perfect opportunity, but it turned out to be nothing more than a well-crafted trap.
The intruder calmly raised his head as if he had finally realized that fact and began to look at Quijano.
“I will tell the humans…”
It was a golden eye that was hard to see anywhere else.
Kihano was only fascinated by the color for a moment, but before he knew it, the pentagram that appeared in his eyes was shining viciously.
“…Kihano!”
Andrew, who realized what the pentagram meant, tried to warn her, but her hand, which had already been extended, was faster.
“There is no such thing as a name!”
Crrrrr-!
Quijano flinched for a moment at her quickly extended right hand.
The quick reaction speed was worthy of praise, but what was actually fired far exceeded Quijano’s expectations.
“……A wolf?”
Crackle!
A blue wolf flies like an arrow and begins to hang down with a sword in its mouth.
As Quijano was taken aback by what he had seen for the first time in his life, Andrew, who was in his arms, shouted loudly as if to come to his senses.
“Come to your senses, you bastard! This is a spirit! government ordinance!”
There are countless ways to express my world.
It is my own world that I can create by using mysteries like a wizard or swinging a sword like a knight.
And the wolf that was biting at Quijano’s sword was also one of the worlds drawn by the intruder in front of him.
“Damn it! “What are you talking about spirits?”
Spirits that only the elves of Alvenheim can handle.
As the spirit growled at him, Quijano quickly took a step back and began to retreat.
“All sorts of things pop out in this small town!”
Because only the world can oppose the world.
Quihano, who knew this well, pulled the wolf away with all his might and quickly began to lower the tip of his sword.
“Young Master! “Let’s borrow it for a moment!”
Kihano’s posture was disturbed because even if he raised his sword, it wasn’t enough to block
him. Seeing him like that, a look of suspicion appeared in his golden eyes, but before he knew it, Kihano’s black pond, which was hanging down, was touching the pond and creating small ripples.
“…This is why I should have awakened the Auror a long time ago.”
As soon as Quihano’s sword touched the pond, the loud noises of the frogs began to subside.
Instead, what begins to ring are small concentric circles spreading from the pond.
The ripples in the water that started from Quihano’s sword were already spreading to the place where the unknown intruder was.
“Whoa.”
Her gaze, which is now armed with an arrow and a string, is sharp.
However, this place where I am now stepping into is a world that I have borrowed according to a legitimate contract.
The water in the pond began to swirl little by little as Quijano tried to concentrate even for the moment given to him by his sword.
Spaaa-!
The intruder who was watching fired an arrow with all his might as if he would not wait any longer.
An arrow approaches with a graceful gesture as if it has wings.
Kihano’s eyes narrowed as he watched the movement of the arrow.
‘You can’t avoid this.’
The arrows flying now are just a check to force my actions.
As if his judgment was correct, Quihano gritted his teeth as he felt the presence of the wolf coming back.
“Kihano! behind!”
If you avoid it any longer, you will definitely be cornered.
Once you reach a dead end, you can no longer avoid it.
Then, all that remains is the destruction approaching me.
“Hwaaaap!”
If so, the only way to overcome this situation is to tackle it head on.
Quihano began to rush towards the sharp arrow.
Due to Quijano’s completely unexpected movements, the wolf, who came right behind him, missed his target.
“…Running at me?”
Instead, his golden eyes widened as he saw Kihano rushing toward the arrow.
Rather than jumping to the side or back, jump forward.
It was truly unexpected and unexpected, but there was still an arrow full of spirit power left in front of Kihano.
“Big!”
Sigh! Kakak-!
Quihano’s sword began to forcibly push away the arrow, which curved smoothly as if it were alive.
“Iik!”
The moment the sword and arrow met was literally a moment, but there were literally dozens of techniques that Quijano had to perform in that short period of time.
It was a scene that would widen the eyes of any swordsman who knew the sword, but unfortunately, there was no one here who could appreciate Quihano’s true value.
Kwasik-!
The forcibly twisted arrow momentarily grazed the corner of Quijano’s left eye.
Quijano, who had succeeded in letting go of that terrifying moment, now began to smile deeply as he looked at the intruder right in front of him.
“Is it my turn now?”
“…!”
Quihano’s sword started out as a gentle ripple and became a rough wave.
Before I knew it, the sword was swinging towards an unknown intruder.
“Why don’t you try blocking it this time!”
Paaaaang-!
A sound strong enough to shake the quiet hills and even wake up sleeping sheep.
Along with the sound, there was a powerful spray of water.
The spray, which rose so high that it reached the moon in the sky, began to moisten the hills of Consuegra, where there was not even a small well.
※※※※
“……Elf. “This is my first time seeing an elf.”
Looking at the torches coming up from afar, Quijano spit out the blade of grass he was holding in his mouth.
“This is my first time dealing with a spirit magic lover.”
“…….”
“What? “Why did you come here?”
It seemed that the levy sent by the baron was dragging soldiers in due to the sudden uproar that occurred in the middle of the night.
Well, it was a good thing that Quijano, who had lost all his strength, was unable to carry the woman next to him down.
“Isn’t it literally the end of the continent from Alvenheim, where you are, to Consuegra? “Why on earth did you come this far away?”
Her platinum blonde hair was beautiful under the white moonlight.
The elf woman, who had finally taken off the hood she was wearing, was so beautiful that even Quihano, who had met many women before, flinched for a moment.
However, Quijano did not yet know the woman’s name, and the woman currently tied up in ropes did not seem to have any intention of telling him her name.
“…If you don’t want to talk, just don’t. “Even if I found out, there was no use for it.”
The torches of the soldiers were getting closer, lighting up the quiet hill noisily.
However, perhaps because of the water spray that Quijano had just thrown, the speed of the climb was slowing down considerably.
“Qujano Frausen. “The youngest son of the Frausen family.”
“hmm?”
While Kihano was just staring at the night sky, an unfamiliar voice began to sound from behind him.
“what. “I thought you could talk?”
“…….”
I didn’t know the name, but the golden eyes I was facing were familiar.
I don’t know why, but that intimacy was probably due to the world I had just encountered.
“okay. Let’s just say it’s happened like this. I definitely said my name earlier…”
“And the knight who once defeated the dragon.”
There are still only two hills.
Now that even the wind passing by is calm, Kihano pauses for a moment as if he is frozen at the old name he has not heard in a long time.
“The brilliant title that was known to us is gone, and now we are in the miserable position of borrowing someone else’s world.”
“…….”
“It’s truly pathetic. “It’s like they’re so scared of dragons that they can’t even spread their wings.”
Today’s winner was Kihano, and the loser was that unknown elf.
However, the more confident person was the elf tied to the rope, so if someone unfamiliar with the situation saw the current scene, they would probably think that Quijano was a loser.
“You are a coward. Quijano.”
Her eyes sparkling in the moonlight were smiling.
The laugh was a mockery directed at Quijano, who was watching but could not see, and was listening but would not listen.
“…You’re a coward.”
Looking up at the moon that had finally been revealed, Quihano let out a deep sigh.
Frausen was once a genius who could surpass even dragons, but now he is a miserable man who does not even have his own world.
For Quijano, who had taken off the wings he was born with, perhaps there was no word more fitting than the word coward.
※※※※
“The experiment is almost complete. “Now all we have to do is demonstrate it.”
Samonte was bowing his head toward the dimly lit crystal ball.
It was a sign of respect and submission towards the man looking at him within the crystal sphere.
“…I heard there was an accident.”
“ah! yes. Fortunately it worked out well.”
Even if it appears blurry, it is a being that requires one to bow one’s head deeply.
Among Dragullia, any being that was Sarnus with blue eyes and brilliant blonde hair would have had no choice but to bow his head like Samonte did now.
“Lord Turlek sent me a very useful article. “This is an article that Sarnus probably knows.”
“Who are you?”
I thought it wouldn’t be easy to catch him because he was a magic opponent.
However, Sarnus was showing curiosity when he heard that a knight sent by a baron or something had caught the trouble.
“You… you know. “The youngest son of the Frausen family.”
Samonte, who was bowing as if he was sorry for daring to speak, bent his back even further.
That’s because the name I’m about to say is a very unpleasant name to dragons.
“Kihano Frausen… That sloppy bastard.”
“…….”
Quijano Frausen.
The bastard son of the Frausen family, known to everyone on the continent, from nobles to commoners.
However, Sarnus’ eyes began to sink little by little as he heard the name, which had a slightly different meaning to the dragons.
“Fortunately, it seems that even a rusty sword is good enough to catch a witch. Still, Frausen is Frausen…”
“When is the demonstration date?”
Sarnus heard that name and began to laugh darkly.
Small goosebumps appeared on Samonte’s back as he saw that smile, not knowing whether he was angry or truly happy.
“yes?”
“I want to see it for myself. “I guess it’s close to where I am now.”
A fire that burns brightly does not go out easily.
No matter how trampled and dirty it was, there might still be hot embers hidden within the charred ashes.
Therefore, in order to be sure, you will have to look into it whenever you have time.
“We will get there within a week. “So that we can prepare.”
“yes! yes “It is truly an honor for Sarnus to come in person!”
City Henares.
The closest city to Consuegra.
A dragon there slowly began to stand up.
“And make sure to keep this guy named Kihano by your side.”
A white snake trapped in a glass coffin was crying.
The man who bowed his head under the moonlight and the priestess of the World Tree who failed to save the young spirits.
Possibilities that all of them found no place under the claws of a fierce dragon.
This is the age of dragons, where only perfect possibilities are revered.
The crushed stars below had still lost their shine and were cooling off in a place where no one could see.
