Day [Life]: Incarnation
Dreams and the Black Sword

Meli then went inside the tent and came out carrying a thick book. The title of the book reads "The Story of the Swordsman". The book is not too thick but enough to tell. About 60 pages thick.

"Father! Read Meli this story."

While saying it he handed the book to me.

"Hm? oh, fine."

I accepted it and then she sat on Zena's lap.

"Then I begin..."

As I said it, I opened the book from the first page.

"One day there lived a poor child, he was a child who was always bullied by his friends. He was just a child from a poor family who could not even eat. One day when he was 17 years old, he planned to leave the village to find another job. Although he was ridiculed by several other children he remained steadfast with his purpose and continued to depart. Previously he was given a money from his master's people, it was the remaining money of the two of them. He accepted it sincerely and took it. Arriving in the city...."

"Papa.. What happened to her parents?"

Meli cut when I haven't had time to talk.

"His parents were probably home praying."

Zena then responded to the question and stroked Meli's head.

"Hm...? I understand, then continue!"

"All right..."

As Meli said, I continued the story.

"He was later accepted to be an adventurer. Since he did not have a sword, he ended up searching for a sword in the market. As he was looking right and left, he saw a rusty black sword. He was interested and bought it. Arriving at the inn, he took care of the black sword. "Hey, did you take care of me?" Said the black sword, he was initially surprised when he finished cleaning the sword. But not feeling any danger she answered him with "Yes". The sword then shone. The rust on the sword disappeared and became a black sword that looked like new. The sword said "I am a rusty magic sword. But now that I am the new black sword, I will obey all your commands.". He was very happy with that and then started his first quest successfully."

"..."

I stopped telling stories because Meli was asleep. Finally, I carried him into the tent.

"Sleep is so good."

Said Zena who entered the tent and sat next to the sleeping Meli.

"Well, no matter how young she may be she's tired of all this."

I then sat down beside Zena who was looking at Meli's sleeping face.

"You want to sleep?"

I then asked Zena who looked like she was exhausted.

"Thank you, but I have to keep my eyes open."

"You'll be exhausted, never mind. The soldiers who will take care of you, tomorrow we will move to a safer place, right?"

"Yes... All right, I'll take a break. Good night."

After persuading Zena, I laid my body down next to Zena who was lying before me.

"Hey, how's this gonna end?"

Zena then laid her body against me.

"Stop that...."

While breathing my breath I answered him.

It looks like it's gonna be very troublesome.

Not long after, Zena began to fall asleep and fall asleep. I then faced towards her and stroked her cheek a little.

"Good night..."

My eyes began to slowly close. And slowly the view became black.

After opening my eyes slowly I saw a dark room with an invisible boundary. It was like an endless abyss and I stood like I was floating. Strangely enough I set my foot on the ground. I can walk normally as usual.

At first glance a sword with a dark purple color that almost resembles black is exactly 10 steps ahead of me.

A sword? It's a word in my mind. I can't believe that there's a sword in an empty room like this.

I walked forward 10 steps. The sword looked like it was standing like this floating me.

While saying it in my heart I rounded my resolve to uproot it.

Close your eyes and calm your heart. Then with all my might, I pulled out the sword.

Oho! It worked!

My eyes glittered slightly when I managed to pluck them out. He looks proud like a normal person who gets something new from his hard work.

I then swung the sword like my own. As I thought! This sword is so light!

In my mind my voice rejoices in welcoming the sword. But when I want to return the sword....

.

"...Catch. Luke. Luke.." luke..."

Someone called. That's why I opened my eyes immediately. I jumped up and sat down. My right hand holding my forehead looked like something hard just happened.

"What's up Luke? Is anyone sick? If there's any let me treat."

I accidentally shook my head and looked around.

In the tent? Is what my mind says. Groping my left hand which was still below, I thought a little.

I was in the tent? Since when? The dreams?

My hand touched something as long as a sword sheath.

A sword?

My face is a little strange.

"Is something wrong? Luke? Tell me if anything gets in your head."

Zena started to worry because of my strange attitude in the morning.

Waitaminute! Morning!?

I then shook my head. Since I felt a sword sheath from my left hand, I raised it slowly.

A purple sword that looked like black. The sword in the dream. The color is the same and the shape is the same as the black cloth sheath.

Black sword!?

"Hey, Luke, since when did you have that black sword?"

Zena who saw him asked me.

"Eitherway? I don't remember having this sword either. It's like I've seen it..."

"Have you seen her?"

"Yes... Maybe?"

I answered hesitantly because I had seen it before. But where!?

"Well, let's get ready. The citizens are ready to move before the enemy's relief forces come."

Zena then returned to tidying our clothes all into the magic back. Then fold the tent carefully. Meli fell asleep on my back soundly.

When we finished, we walked after the other residents.actually because we could not bear to see the exhausted Meli woke up we both let Meli fall asleep on my back.

"Ugh..."

Plenty of blood everywhere. The battle against the demonic creatures was over, the demonic creatures had been defeated by the soldiers, and now they were trying to heal their wounds while waiting for the other enemy troops to come.

We citizens and small rank adventurers are only allowed to evacuate.

"Hold a minute."

I said it while clasping her hand tightly. His eyes were frightened by the colors everywhere. He looked exhausted holding it back and fell down.

"Oi, you're okay, right!?"

I panicked and quickly pulled his hand.

Continues....
