Reincarnated User Manual

19 – Hugo

By the time Lucia arrived at Dawn Castle, it was already sunset time.

I wonder if my steps were this slow.

For some reason, the speed was slower than when I was slaying the demon beasts like Siron.

Her steps were slower than when she was dealing with the continuous influx of demonic beasts… It was a strange thing, even when she thought about it herself.

‘Even if I walked a little slowly.’

Lucia lifted her free hand and rubbed her face. Siron took not only the long sword he had brought with him in advance, but also all the weapons he had taken from Bertha.

Suddenly, I realize that my leg length is different from my previous life.

Lucia was currently 9 years old and had the appearance of a girl of that age. Sometimes, you realize that your situation is different from before.

Even though it’s been 9 years since I was reincarnated, I still can’t shake off the feeling of my past life.

The short arms and legs, soft hands without any calluses, and even the internal energy circling inside my body were small and shabby to the point of tears compared to my previous life.

‘You did a good job with this body.’

Now that I look at it, I realize that I did something really reckless.

There is nothing incomprehensible about killing thieves to enter the cave.

However, subduing a person named Bertha was clearly beyond his ability.

‘I got into a mood for no reason…’

If I had known that Siron’s goal was to obtain the Holy Sword, I should have beaten Siron to a pulp and returned to the mansion.

But I couldn’t.

As for why she couldn’t stop it, there were a lot of things that even Lucia herself couldn’t understand. I have nothing to say.

Did you feel like you were possessed by something, that if you did as Siron told you, it would somehow work out?

It was like overlapping fragmentary memories from the past.

Because he was a passive person, to put it nicely, who could only do what others told him to do.

Still, I didn’t really feel like I was being taken advantage of because I was able to work with good colleagues.

It’s because everyone gathered their strength and always made the best choice in a given situation and got the best result.

“… … .”

But now it was all over.

‘The stars told me.’ what do you mean know It is distasteful to be swayed by others beyond this.

Lucia closed her eyes tightly to get rid of the endless thoughts.

I came close to the front gate of Dawn before I knew it.

“Are you here? miss.”

“huh.”

A maid was there to meet her.

She is a maid who once helped Siron train. A black-haired woman with impressive slightly raised eyebrows. I guess her name was Dorothy.

Dorothy lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and bowed her head to Lucia.

“You look pretty tired.”

“… … Does it look like that?”

Dorothy nodded to Lucia’s question.

Dorothy, who was always watching Lucia, easily noticed that she gave off a slightly different vibe than usual. Of course, the appearance is also like that.

“First of all, my complexion is not good.”

“complexion?”

“yes. In particular, the skin under the eyes is dark and looks like someone who has stayed up all night for several days. There may be many other things, but you never once looked straight ahead while walking here.”

“It looked… like that.”

Lucia smiled in despair and imagined how she would appear to someone.

How shabby it must have been for him to force himself to return to the castle, as he had no strength or will to chase after Siron, who was running far ahead.

Lucia looked up at the maid, clutching the hem of her coat tightly.

“Now that I think about it, what about poetry? “What is Siron doing now?”

Lucia’s voice, asking about her half-brother’s well-being, was somewhat fast. Dorothy smiled softly and nodded.

“Yes, Master, you must have gone to bed by now. Unlike usual, you skip meals. “It looks like you were very tired, just like the young lady.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

What is the intention of that question? Are you trying to confirm that Master Siron has arrived safely? Dorothy guessed that Lucia’s question was motivated by family love.

Dorothy gently raised the corners of her mouth and asked Lucia.

“Would you like to eat first? Or would you like to take a bath first? However, in my personal opinion, it would be better to wash right away and go to sleep.”

“Then I will do the same. No matter what I put in my stomach right now, I don’t think I can digest it properly.”

A little early before the sun rises.

Chiron got out of bed and looked out the window.

I even admire the biorhythm that I have become completely accustomed to. It’s amazing to wake up at exactly the right time even though I skipped meals and fell asleep as soon as I washed up.

‘Because I don’t do doping, I’ll really fall behind.’

Shiron considered it fortunate that she had avoided closing her eyes in the bathtub.

Even so, I can’t postpone what I have to do today. As soon as I wake up, the place I head to is, as always, the gymnasium.

I definitely felt it this time. Unlike killing thieves, I didn’t know when or where I would encounter the names that appeared in the game.

To do so, he had to have the ability to defend himself, even if he did not have the strength to face them. Even if today is the day when a big event called the succession ceremony is ahead, you cannot miss the training you repeat every morning.

“Chiron.”

But today something is a little different. Lucia, who hadn’t shown up at the gymnasium since she started reading, was waiting for him at the gymnasium entrance.

Have you heard anything about it all night long? For some reason, Chiron approached Lucia and greeted her.

“What is it? You leave the gym.”

“… … Speak clearly. Not long ago, I came out first, right? “I’ve just been busy with some things to do recently.”

Lucia glanced at Siron disapprovingly and opened the door to the training hall.

I came first and waited, but they gave me nothing.

With that in mind, Lucia ran out to the warehouse ahead of Siron.

From noble mtl dot com

A while later, when Siron arrived in front of the warehouse door, Lucia looked at Siron curiously and held out a wooden sword.

“receive!”

Siron opened his eyes wide and received the wooden sword.

“what? suddenly.”

Shiron is just wondering what kind of wind is blowing to make this happen.

“Yesterday, I told you to hit me if you tease me.”

“… … By any chance, are you going to spar?”

Siron’s face stiffened for a moment.

When I tell you to hit that bastard, do you mean to beat him like a dog with a wooden sword?

“Hey, I didn’t say to hit him with a wooden sword.”

“What do you think of me? No matter how much I do, I would never hit someone with a wooden sword.”

“then?”

“It occurred to me when I saw you fighting yesterday, I felt like you needed to learn how to swing a sword.”

“… … .”

“And, I’ll teach you how to swing a sword… what…”

Lucia turned her head away from Siron and scratched her cheek.

“Can we… work together?”

“no. Well, if you said you would teach me, I would be grateful.”

Siron let out a sigh of frustration. Did he have a change of heart while we were away for a while, so he would cooperate so obediently?

‘I didn’t even want it to get to this point.’

Rather, it saves you effort.

“I see.”

The moment I was swinging my sword while sweating for a while. Lucia, who was watching from the side, spoke up.

“Can’t you see the maids who always serve you by your side today?”

“ah. that.”

Siron responded without stopping swinging his sword.

“Tomorrow is the succession ceremony. “To begin with, they helped me out when they were free, so when I’m this busy, I have no choice but to do it alone.”

“however. “Is it okay to practice leisurely like this?”

Lucia stopped swinging her sword and looked beyond the mansion.

“I think someone came. “That too, a lot.”

“Is that so?”

Siron wiped his sweaty forehead with a towel. Is it already time to arrive?

When I looked up at the sky, the sun was already high in the sky.

I was absorbed in receiving Lucia’s one-on-one guidance. Surprisingly, Lucia was good at teaching. I thought he was a genius and all, so he taught sensibly.

“Then let’s go.”

Siron buried the wooden sword in the snowdrift and handed the towel hanging around his neck to Lucia. Lucia hesitated for a moment, then took the towel and wiped the sweat from her face.

The two headed towards the main gate of Dawn Castle with slightly hurried steps. As if someone had arrived, all the residents of the mansion were lined up.

“Are you here? young master.”

And among them is Yuma, the general manager of Dawn Castle…

“hello.”

There was Bertha, who bowed her head.

Unlike what she saw in her brother’s coffin, Bertha looked quite human. I wore eye makeup and smelled a little of perfume.

I guess he was planning to say hello to the person approaching from afar.

Eventually, the gates of Yeomyeongseong Fortress were completely opened.

It had never been completely open before, but looking at that behavior, Lucia could roughly guess that the person coming now was quite an amazing person.

Above all, the energy radiating from afar was truly amazing.

A man wearing armor walks towards where Siron and Lucia are.

She had red hair like Lucia. He was a middle-aged man with a thick beard that covered his entire chin.

‘Hugo Prien.’

The older brother of Glenn Prien, leader of the Changcheon Knights and the head of Prien’s family.

Shiron’s eyes widened as he looked at the strongest player in the world. Can this be enough to save the empire from destruction? When I actually met him, I was amazed at his size and his sense of intimidation.

“It’s been a while since I saw you. nephew.”

“… … hello. uncle.”

“hahahaha. yo guy You’ve grown a lot in a bird I haven’t seen in a few years. It was only yesterday that I was toddling with uncle and uncle.”

The man had a grim appearance, but when he saw Chiron’s face, he smiled and hugged Chiron and Lucia. Lucia’s social skills weren’t broken to the point of rejecting his favor. At least I know what childlike is.

“And this one…?”

“This time, the head of the family says that she is the new lady Lucia.”

“… … hello. My name is Lucia.

“I see. nice to meet. I am your father’s older brother.”

Upon Lucia’s introduction, Hugo looked at Yuma with a lighthearted smile.

“Yuma. You don’t get old no matter how many years pass.”

“… … Unfortunately it is.”

“so? Is this the end of meeting me?”

Hugo looked around at the people other than those he had led behind him. Because the person he was looking for was not among them.

There was no person here who had to show his face at the succession ceremony, an important family event.

“Glen… Where is Glenn?”

“The head of the family… … .”

“Glenn where is this son of a b*tch?”

At that fact, Hugo’s face distorted like a goblin.
