130 – The Strange Experience of Darkness 4

Headquarters of the Uranus corps located in the center of Vienna.

There, Bahamut welcomed an unexpected guest.

“Welcome, Mr. Andersen Gustav. It is a great pleasure to meet you.”

“Yes, I’m sorry to meet you over such an unfortunate incident.”

“I sincerely apologize, Bahamut-sama.”

Andersen, who talks with sorry feelings, and Isaac, who accompanies him.

Regarding this, Bahamut spoke to them with only a warm smile.

“it’s okay. There was no damage on our side, and the parties said it was not a big problem, so there is no need to be so sorry.”

While saying that, Bahamut glanced at the dark-haired woman standing behind him.

To this, she also nodded lightly with an expressionless face, as if expressing agreement.

And, fortunately, Andersen and Isaac breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that they passed without any major problems.

‘There are quite a few nobles who find fault with trivial conflicts like this, but fortunately, it’s fortunate that Bahamut doesn’t have such a thing.’

‘As expected.. There’s no way that stern Bahamut would make this a problem. I was a little anxious though…’

The two are relieved that things have been resolved without such a big problem.

Looking at them, Bahamut continued to speak in a bright voice.

“Come on, then, since a valuable guest has arrived, I will simply serve you a cup of tea. Please stay at ease.”

“Ah.. yes, then excuse me.”

With Bahamut’s favor, the two of them sat down.

Right after that, Andersen’s gaze naturally turned to the dark-haired woman with an expressionless face standing behind Bahamut.

‘Is that woman… the woman who was said to have defeated Misa in one fell swoop…’

Just looking at it, you can feel the extraordinary presence of a person.

The words of Isaac, who has a special talent for reading the opponent’s strength, her skills proven through an actual duel with Misa, and the extraordinary energy that even Andersen can recognize at this moment.

Through this, Andersen was able to more clearly establish confidence in the opponent’s strength.

‘I never thought I’d meet such talented people in a place like this.. no… If you think about it, maybe it’s a matter of course because it’s Bahamut’s escort?’

Although he was a warrior, at the same time, he was Andersen, who was quite bright about the situation in the world as the closest aide to the emperor.

And to that extent, he also knew very well how great a man named Bahamut in front of him was.

As one of the greatest colossus on the continent, she is the only merchant that even Bertina can afford.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand the fact that if he was an escort that would stand by that man, he was that strong.

It was then that Andersen was thinking like that.

Bahamut, who was in front of him, opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“By the way. I heard that Mr. Andersen built a great feat as the continent’s best warrior?”

“hahahaha, that’s too much praise. I just know how to handle a little sword. The title of the best is always considered too much for me.”

Andersen smiled lightly while saying words of humility at Bahamut’s words.

Regarding this, Bahamut shook his head slowly and spoke in a slightly excited voice.

“No, as a merchant, I have heard the story of Andersen several times in the process of contacting news from the continent. Isn’t Andersen the strongest warrior who repulsed countless attacks from the Dragona Empire while supporting the Kingdom of Poland, and is said to be feared even by the mighty White Dragon Princess?”

His appearance as if you could feel his romance as a man.

As a result, Andersen began to think that apart from the enormous wealth and ability of this man, there was a surprisingly interesting aspect.

‘This side seems to have a lot of interest in this part too.. Well, it would be difficult to pour such an enormous amount of money willingly unless there is such a part..’

As a warrior wielding a sword, the man’s romance was Andersen, who had the idea of battle and war after all.

Of course, the biggest reason was to protect precious things and destroy evil. He thought that this part was also an element that could never be ignored if he escaped from that part and pursued romance.

And, while Andersen was thinking about that, Bahamut asked him in a slightly cautious tone.

“I… in that sense. Personally, there is something I would like to ask Andersen for.”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

Unlike before, Andersen began to feel some doubts about Bahamut’s voice, which seemed to contain a strange feeling of anticipation.

To him, Bahamut expressed a request with some hesitation.

“If you’re not rude, as the strongest warrior in the Empire, can you teach this man… my escort Ophelia?”

“Yes?”

Andersen shows some embarrassment at Bahamut’s unexpected request.

In response to his reaction, Bahamut continued to speak in a calm voice.

“No matter how you look at it, Ophelia is the strongest warrior I and the Veden Merchant Corps have. I’m not proud of it, but I happened to compete with the White Dragon Princess before.”

“With the White Dragon Princess…?”

The moment he heard that, Andersen showed a slightly hardened expression.

Seeing this, Bahamut spoke to him in a voice that still remained calm.

“Yes, even though at the time, it was actually a decision loss. In that respect… in order to prepare for the upcoming war, would you like Andersen, the rival of the White Dragon Princess, to test your skills?”

“Ummm..”

At Bahamut’s words, Andersen began to show interest even though he was worried.

The reason why I came here in person was not only to apologize, but also to find out about the woman who defeated Misa… the female warrior introduced to me as Ophelia.

‘He is a person who may be able to become a reliable ally in preparation for the upcoming war. It might not be a bad choice to check your power in this way..’

In addition, since it was not a public match, there was nothing particularly burdensome on this side, and as a bonus, it is an issue that should be dealt with seriously in the public part, but in my heart, listening to the stories of young SS members who had sparred on the roadside, It was also Andersen who felt envious.

In that respect, Bahamut’s proposal to give him a chance to wield his sword legally without notice… Andersen had no reason to refuse.

“great. I’ve been interested in the story that a fairly talented person has appeared, so I’ll try it once.”

Andersen expresses his consent.

Seeing this, Bahamut’s mouth grew into a smile filled with deep anticipation.

A training ground owned by the Uranus Merchants.

Normally, this large place where a considerable number of adventurers trained, now only two people and a very small number of spectators entered the situation.

This place looks like an empty lot with nothing in the situation where the usual training tools are put away.

In the center, the two were looking at each other with calm expressions on their faces.

The weapon used was a sword made of iron, not a wooden sword, but it was only for sparring, so the blade of the sword was blunt.

Of course, despite this, the fact that there was no obstacle to using condensation unlike wooden swords had the advantage of being able to compete with sincerity to some extent.

“It’s interesting, to think you’ll see the scene where Sir Andersen wields his sword.”

Bertia spoke in a voice full of strange anticipation.

Bahamut, who was sitting next to her, nodded with a smile.

“I, too, never thought that an opportunity like this would arise. I always wanted to see you at least once.”

“Even so… will it be okay? I also knew that Ophelia was quite strong, but even so, my opponent is Sir Andersen, the strongest in the Empire…”

“hehehe, don’t worry about that. No.. Rather, in that respect, I think there will be quite a lot of surprises for the lady.”

“..Yes? what is that…”

Bahamut said something a little incomprehensible to her.

Bertina questioned this, and Bahamut smiled confidently at her.

“That is true. You will know when you see it for yourself.”
