a few days later.
Darnell's mansion in 'Plentel Castle' in Bascona.
Bean unfolded a small piece of parchment in the room.
There was a list of upcoming events.
It was one of the things that I rushed after returning.
Bean fell into thought, not watching his list of events.
"I mean, this is possible… … ."
This situation was unbelievable.
Being able to know what was going on in the future was a unique benefit.
I was able to prepare before the situation came, and I was able to make the best choice.
Also, it seemed that the greatest growth could be achieved in a short period of time.
For a moment, even doubting that Bean might be a dream, he accepted the unbelievable situation.
'There's nothing wrong with being suspicious. Besides, I got an arm that wasn't there… … .'
Bean lowered his head and looked down at his white bandaged right arm.
after his return.
A newly acquired black arm.
I couldn't figure out why the arm was missing.
One thing is certain.
It seemed that this arm would enable him to lead a different life than he had in the past.
Because the unfavorable conditions in battle have disappeared.
However, there was one drawback.
His right arm trembled as he tried to move it.
Others laughed at it and called it a cursed arm.
But Bean didn't care.
'Have they ever thought of a life without arms? A hundred times better than nothing.'
Bean smirked as he remembered those who scoffed at them.
quiver-
The door opens, and someone enters.
again and again.
It was none other than her mother, Darnell.
She called to Bean in her sweet voice.
"Bin-ah, take a look here."
Tears welled up in Bin's eyes at the friendly voice.
It wasn't the first time he'd seen him since his return.
However, the fact that her mother was still alive made her unable to control her emotions.
Whoops.
Bean wiped the area around his eyes with his sleeve and opened his mouth with bright eyes.
"Yes, mother!"
Darnell showed Bean holding each of her daggers in each of her hands.
"What is the difference between these two friends?"
"Huh."
For a moment, Bin smiled involuntarily.
Bean was called the best blacksmith before the return.
A knife that has only one blade.
A dagger with blades on both sides.
There was no way I could tell the two apart.
It was like asking an adult to add and subtract.
"… … ."
Darnell was rather embarrassed by Bean's smile.
Because it was a smile that was not appropriate for his age.
In an awkward situation, Bean sneeze quickly.
"Huh. Eh, etch!"
From Vienna's point of view, it was the best way to escape this moment.
'Are you trying to sneeze?'
At that moment, Darnell's expression brightened even more.
It was thought that the cause of the strange smile was sneezing.
Bean, on the other hand, looked at the two daggers and began to ponder.
No, he pretended to be worried.
"Well… … ."
Bean did not tilt his head, but pointed to the knife to his left.
"He… … There is one dangerous place."
Then he touched the dagger on the right.
"He… … There are two dangerous places."
Darnell's expression brightened up at the cute Bean's appearance.
"Bin-ah, that's great."
Seeing her mother's bright expression, Bin smiled along too.
As her mother was happy, she was happy at the same time.
Even though she was a deformed child who had lost one arm before returning, her mother did her best for her.
Bean wanted to please her somehow.
For her life this time, she put an indelible mark on her heart, and she didn't want to live.
'Mother, I will protect you in this lifetime.'
Bean swore and grabbed his fern-like hand.
It may look cute now that it wiggles.
But Bean was more serious than anyone.
While Bin was making up his mind, Darnell spoke up.
Contrary to what had been before, it was a hoarse voice.
"Binah, a weapon is a double-sided object that can protect one's life, but can also kill someone. Do you know that many people emphasize the dangers of weapons?"
"… … Yes, mother."
Bean looked at Darnell's more bloody expression, and his voice dwindled.
"But this mother thinks differently. You can kill anyone… … .I, please, just live. In this Bascona… … ."
"… … !"
As Darnell's eyes turned red, one of Bean's chests heated up.
'Live, live… ask me… … ?!'
At that moment, he felt a strong pain in his stomach.
She remembered the last moments of her previous life.
She was the memory of the masterpiece she had made that penetrated her ship.
I remembered the disgusting smile of Heldon, the head of the Grander and Ghanaian SS captain.
He sacrificed the best sword, Lumina Re, which was nothing but everything to himself.
However, the only thing that came back was the blade of the famous sword he had dedicated.
Bean opened his eyes and burned his will.
Heldon is one of the top ten strong men in Ghana.
He couldn't have been better if he had been himself in the past.
But this life with both her arms was different.
Bean thought of one way to repay the debt to him.
It was the 'Luminare' that penetrated his own ship.
It was a famous sword with an unbelievable ability to absorb the powers of Ben Mugu.
'If we can make a Luminare as soon as possible, defeat the powerful in the continent and absorb their weapon's powers… … .'
It was a reasonable enough assumption.
First of all, in order to implement the plan, we needed the materials to make the Luminare.
The material was the fangs of the 'Cervenians' living in the 'Tomb of the Royal Family' in the center of the continent.
Cervenian, a three-necked dragon.
He was never a good monster.
To face the Cervenians, it was necessary to develop as much strength as possible.
Unlike before, they could not rely on the Ghanaian SS.
Bean grabbed his dagger, remembering the Ghanaian SS and Heldon.
'I will definitely pay off the debt.'

3 years later.
Bean is seven years old.
A dagger was still visible in Bin's left hand.
It was quite different from what he looked like when he was only four years old.
Now I've gotten quite a bit swayed.
Bean swung his sword so that his whole body was drenched in sweat.
swoosh- swoosh-
His arms trembled, and the pain felt as if his muscles were about to burst.
Eventually, his body collapsed.
Bean recalled the moment his mother was stained with blood as his body grew more tired.
Then he burned his will again and got up.
'I can't even live this life without looks.'
The maids, who watched Bin burning his will, began to talk.
"Bocchan Bin is different from other masters… … What? Should I say I'm not childish? The eyes are scary… … ."
"You know, I got tired of the master's gaze a few days ago, and I almost missed the bowl sometimes."
"Is it because of the bullying of other masters?"
"It would be. The only child born to Darnell-sama is Master Bin… … ."
At the sound of tickling his ear, Bean turned his head in the direction of his maids.
creepy eyes.
Seeing those eyes, the maids became dumb with honey.
"… … ."

3 years later.
There is one tradition in Basconga.
Once every three years, on the day the family was founded, it was a job to sacrifice a monster.
It is a process that any pure-blood of the Bascon family who is over ten years old goes through.
Depending on the species and size of this monster, the person's awareness was often evaluated.
He could use any method.
Instead, they had to catch it by themselves, and only one per person was allowed.
East of Ghana.
On the right side of Plentel Castle in Vasconga, there is a forest named Death.
It's called 'Death Forest'.
There were thick forests and numerous bones and relics scattered around.
There were many white bones due to similar trees without special features.
Losing your life while wandering in the same place for days and days.
The forest of death was full of many kinds of monsters who were aiming for the corpse.
Bean appeared in the middle of the forest of death.
Bean is now ten years old.
The reason Vienna came to the Forest of Death is to carry out the family tradition.
With distinct features and jet-black hair.
It looks mature compared to a few years.
Bean began to exhale harshly.
"Ugh… Ugh… … ."
A streak of blood ran down Bin's forehead.
It wasn't just this.
There was dust all over the uniform.
Because of the big wild boar in front of them.
"You guys… … ."
emptyI knew a lot about the guy.
Before returning, knowledge of monsters was required to make weapons.
Also known as 'Erymanthian Boar.'
A monster that represents the tenacious vitality of the forest of death.
It is characterized by brown fur and horns like the ivory of an elephant on its nose.
"Ok, ok."
As the wild boar inhaled, heat spurted out of its nostrils.
It is not strange to attack Bean right now.
Soon the wild boar shouted, threatening Bin.
"Pretty sweetheart!!"
The slimy saliva between his sharp teeth continued to grow.
Just by looking at it, it seems that they recognized beans as prey.
Bean held his breath and grabbed his sword.
Then he refrained from even blinking his eyes.
The moment he closes his eyes, his side might be pierced by his ivory.
'Let's focus as much as we can.'
Vienna's swordsmanship skills were currently equivalent to 8th-level knights.
It is a stark difference compared to his previous life, when he was 13 years old and stayed as a 9th grade knight.
However, the wild boar of Erymantos was a level 6 monster.
It wasn't that he ran away without any countermeasures.
The ground was dug deep in advance and covered with bushes.
It was an opportunity when the wild boar rushed to the dug in excitement and fell off his leg.
Bean deliberately waved his sword while looking at the wild boar.
It's an action that provokes the guy.
'Come on… … .'
"… … ."
The boar looked at Vienna's sword.
The frown on the guy's expression seems to be working.
It was at that time when Bin and the wild boar were looking at each other's movements.
The wild boar of Erymantos opened its mouth and jumped into Bean.
couldn't stand it any longer.
"Kuwewewk!"
'come!'
hooked.
As Vienna had expected, the wild boar's paws stomped on the bushes.
As the boar lost his focus, Bean swung his sword.
However, the wild boar turned its head in response to Vienna's attack.
swish.
The guy's thick teeth and Bean's sword interlocked.
Tuk!
At that moment, Bean fell to the floor due to the wild boar's grip, and his sword was broken.
"… … !"
The power of the wild boar is stronger than expected.
The sword was broken for a while.
The boar of Erymantos regained his balance and ran straight towards the fallen Bean.
A guy with his mouth wide open and his sharp teeth exposed.
It is a moment when life and death come and go.
But Bean gritted his teeth and did not give up.
"I knew I was going to die by someone like you… … ."
Bin, with his bloody eyes, quickly lifted up a sword, one of the items lying on the floor.
The moment when Bin holding the sword focused his mind while looking at the wild boar of Erymantos.
Strange black smoke began to rise from Vienna's right arm.
easy profit.
