I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (Web Novel)

“By the way, I'd like you to take this.

The Beast King bowed his head to Fran for about a minute, then handed her a pouch. At first glance, it was an ordinary small, dirty pouch, but I sensed the magic in it.

- Item bag?

- Yes. You got some 10 million, right?

Some 10 million? What categories he thinks, however.

- Why skimp on the hero? It would be better to give one hundred million. But, even if I am the king, but I can not dispose of the treasury at random. If I start doing this, I will fall to the level of some dictator.

And he says surprisingly decent things. I thought he was one of those kings who preferred autocracy, but it turned out that he did not.

- Although, first of all, there are not so many civilian officials in our country. I would not want to harm them again.

The Beast King made a forced smile.

It seems that only military ranks were popular in the Land of Half-Beasts. It may seem that the "herbivorous" half-beasts are inclined to peaceful activities, but even among them there are many brave and daring. That is why the country is constantly experiencing a strong shortage of those wishing to become civilian officials.

And those possessing such outstanding qualities, who can be entrusted with the post of minister, can be counted on one hand. Therefore, in the Land of Half-Beasts, they are treated with special respect. In other countries, officers often look down on officials as weaklings, but in the Land of Half-Beasts, such an attitude is unthinkable.

“Our citizens love to eat well, so logistics is our top priority. So those officials who are involved in this area are especially highly respected.

- That's how it is.

- Oh, something I deviated from the topic. Well, although the country cannot give you anything more in gratitude, but no one will be against a gift personally from me. At least I'll feel better about that.

- What's in it?

- This is something like my pocket money, not so much, about 5 million gold. I still spent a lot on my trip. There was practically nothing left.

- Yeah.

Hmm. I no longer have the strength to be surprised. 5 million ... ha ha ha ha. Stop, is it true? 5 million? Together with the additional medal reward and the proceeds from the sale of trophies from demonic beasts, we have a total of over 20 million gold pieces.

And Fran, as always, did not raise an eyebrow! Why does she make me look like an idiot getting cock for no reason every time we get large sums?

But while we were talking, it was time to sail. Together with Loise and Gododarf, someone who looked like a captain appeared and came up to us.

“Madam Fran, I ask you to get ready to board the ship. We leave in 5 minutes.

- Good.

- Do you have luggage?

- Everything is fine. I gathered in my own way.

“That's how, then you are using Space-Time magic.

Having greeted the captain, we learned that we still have time to talk before sailing. And then that's it. This ship will take us away from the continent of Chrome, to the continent of Gilbard.

- Fran-chan, come back any time!

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

“You saved all of us.

After the King of Beasts spoke, Loise and Gododarf appeared next to him, kneeling and bowing their heads. Apparently the magic of teleportation.

- I would like to thank you for mentor Kiara.

- To thank?

- Yes. She died on the battlefield as she evolved fighting a powerful enemy. After all, this was exactly the dream of mentor Kiara. In addition, in your last moments of life, you took care of her, Mrs. Fran. The one she considered practically her granddaughter ... I envy such a death.

- I think so too. When I heard that the mentor came down with an illness, I immediately thought that she would not die so easily.

“It was you, Fran, who helped her up. If not for you, then, I think, the mentor Kiara would not have been able to evolve, or even fight anymore.

- Chin up! The death of your mentor is not your fault! She died the best possible death! Undoubtedly, she herself is grateful to you! I, as her student, have no doubt about it!

While it sounded a little harsh in my opinion, I knew it was all to cheer up Fran. And Fran knew it too. With a serious face, she nodded to the Beast King.

- Yeah.

- And one more piece of advice about "Turning into the God of swords." Don't drown in its power.

- I realized.

“Fine, then. This will be your guide. I think it will help you.

- Yeah.

- Let's spar the next time we meet.

It was clear that the Beast King himself did not find his Transform God of Spears skill easy to use. And it was a landmark that would help to conquer new heights after gaining "royal" skills. Apparently, he once felt the same as we do now.

- Fran ...

- Mea ...

Mea approached Fran one last time. Not knowing what else she could do, she took Fran's hands and raised them to chest level, and looked into her eyes with a sad look.

- We are parting.

- Yeah.

It was noticeable how not only Mea's eyes, but also Fran's eyes were moisturized. No, their eyes were already filling with tears. It's only a matter of time before they start to cry.

- If someone offends you, then call. Whatever I do ... Wherever you are, I will definitely rush.

- And me too.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- This is not our last meeting. But I can't hold back my tears.

- Yeah.

- But I can’t help ... with myself ...

- Yeah.

Tears rolled down Fran's cheeks and Mea wiped them gently. So, letting go of each other's hands, they parted. This was a sign of parting.

- Fran, look. The ship is already sailing.

There was the sound of a bell to sail, and Fran hurriedly ran up the ladder onto the fast ship. Once on deck, Fran still kept her eyes on Mea.

- Until!

- Thank you!

I guess she couldn't afford to cry the last time she saw her. Fran tried hard to smile. What a bitter smile. However, Mea did the same.

And even though both girls could not smile, they smiled for each other as much as they could.

“You helped me a lot,” I said.

- I have to tell you that, you helped us a lot. See you. Next time I'll show Linda's true strength.

- I'll gladly have a look.

- Well, Fran. See you!

- Uh-huh! See you later.

It is not by chance that this ship is called fast. As soon as the ship left the pier, it began to pick up speed surprisingly quickly. The earth was carried away from us faster and faster.

But Fran continued to wave her hand anyway. Even when she no longer saw anyone, and Graysir turned into a point on the horizon. She kept waving and waving.

- Bye everyone, bye-bye!
