Chapter 559.1
Side Story: Enne and Yuki
The girl with the body of a large sword, Zaien (Enne).
Her nickname was Enne.
Compared to before, she now talked more, showed her intentions more clearly, and showed emotions that were easy to understand even if the other party was not a family member.
She was recognized by her new friends, whom she met at the school in the village of the Sheep Horn Clan, as a quiet and slightly strange child, but the extent of her change was remarkable to those who had been with her for a long time, such as her family, and Yuki, for example, would smile happily when he saw her.
However, despite having grown and changed in many ways, there were also some things about Enne that had remained the same from the very beginning.
Or rather, it could be said that her original disposition had been refined by spending time with Yuki and the others, and had become more prevalent compared to before.
That disposition was her unwavering will.
It could be called stubbornness, or a craftsman’s spirit.
Just like a blade that never bends, she would never change her mind about something once she had made up her mind about it.
So, even though the impression she gave to her friends at school would be that of a quiet girl, those who know her well would describe her as a strong-willed girl.
There was no way that she, who had been in various battles alongside Yuki and had survived the hell to protect her master, could just be a ‘quiet girl’.
She was not stubborn. She listened carefully to other people’s opinions, and if she found their words to be reasonable, she would change her own opinion.
However, there were things that she would not compromise on.
The conviction she held in her heart.
That one thing would never waver, no matter who was on the other side.
She would never change her mind about something that was rooted in her heart.
Even towards Yuki, who she adored to the point of calling him “master” and the one she loved as her parent.
“…” (Enne)
“Listen to me, Enne. My reason for using that can’t be helped, it is something that I made just for fun or something along those lines, you know?” (Yuki)
“…It has a blade.” (Enne)
Yuki was holding an unfamiliar weapon that he had apparently made recently…
No, the problem was not that Yuki often made weapons, but the problem was that the shape of the weapon he had made this time was not of a mere [Toy].
Enne’s single, unyielding, unbreakable belief.
It represents Enne’s belief that she would be the only sword that protects her master.
To Enne, losing that belief would be the same as her own death. It would be the same as the blade breaking and never being able to cut again.
Yuki would never use any other bladed weapon as his main weapon, but if such a future were to come that he needed to replace her, it would mean that Enne was destroyed.
Since that didn’t happen, Enne would consider Yuki using another bladed weapon to be [cheating].
That’s why Enne was sad and angry when Yuki held a sword other than herself.
She would forgive a battle staff, as it would play a different role to her own and would be a weapon that would complement her, but a weapon with a blade on it would be a big no-no.
Frankly speaking, her master’s swordsmanship was poor. In that regard, Nell was clearly more talented. That’s why Yuki didn’t need any weapons with blades other than the ones he could use as support weapons.
And if Enne told him that a particular support weapon was unnecessary, then that support weapon was unnecessary.
“No, wait! It does have a blade on it! But I’m not planning on swinging it around and fighting with it. You know, recently, Nell has been wanting to be able to wield you, so she has started training with a greatsword, right? So I was just thinking that I’d prepare a few of those for her.” (Yuki)
“Hmm…” (Enne)
The weapon Yuki had just made was large. More than anything, its shape was a little like Enne’s.
That was why she was in a bad mood… Enne certainly knew that Nell had recently started training so that she could use a large sword.
It would be natural for Yuki to try to make a good weapon for his beloved wife.
Could there be room for leniency?
…there was no doubt that Nell had the desire to try the weapons Yuki had created.
