In the morning, I woke up to the sound of knocking on my bedroom door.
I hurriedly opened it and found my father's butler standing at the entrance of my room.
"Lily-sama, good morning," said the butler.
I observed this butler, his appearance looked quite old but still enthusiastic to serve our family.
"Good morning, Sebastian" I replied.
I could see a black bag in his hand.
"This is the money given by Master, Lily-sama. He said to give all this money to Lily-sama. If necessary, Lily-sama must spend it or save it for future needs."
"O-Oh, Thank you Sebastian" I accepted the money given. After the black bag was in my hand, I could feel how heavy the money was.
"Sebastian.." I had an unusual feeling about this.
"T-This money.. isn't to buy a Blacksmith building or something like that?" I asked to make sure.
"Sorry Lily-sama, it's money to make a sword consisting of 3 legendary metals. Master is very particular about the quality of the sword for the Marquess Rommel family."
Three legendary metals, I've heard of them. In this kingdom, the three legendary metals in question are Adamantium, Mithril, and Orichalcum.
Adamantium is famous because it is very hard and strong, even making one adamantium sword takes up to 10 years. But that is equivalent to the sharpness and level of hardness produced.
Mithril is famous because it is very light and hard. One greatsword made of mithril weighs less than 5kg. Does this mean that the sword I use will use material from mithril metal ore?
Orichalcum is famous for its compatibility with magic reactions. Although other metals can conduct magic, orichalcum is highly recommended. That is because orichalcum has a soft texture so it is easy to shape very sensitive to magic, and strong magic resistance.
"I-I will remember that, thank you."
"May Lily-sama find what she is looking for," said Sebastian. He then gave me a small bow and left me.
"What should I do with all this?" I peeked at the amount of money inside. From the reflection of the glitter inside, it was a lot of gold coins.
How am I going to spend all this money?
I do need a weapon, but.. what weapon?
Should I bring someone suitable to accompany me?
Mio?
But.. I think she's in her pouting phase.
Uh, how do I deal with a woman who's sulking?
Let's avoid Mio.
...
I did say that, but.. in the end, I waited for Mio to come.
Breakfast time started but Mio still hadn't come, this was different from usual.
What was she doing?
It seemed... I had to do this the old-fashioned way.
I hurriedly grabbed a small outfit and headed to the bathroom. At a time like this, I was the last one to use it. Sure enough, when I arrived at the bathroom. All that was left was cold water waiting for me.
My body had gotten used to cold water, so.. this wasn't a big deal for me. Without further ado, I immediately cleaned myself up.
Even after finishing my bath, Mio still hadn't come to see me. It seemed like... that sulking woman was troublesome. On the other hand, I also didn't know what to do.
Let's put it off and hurry to town to look for weapons.
When I headed to the carriage place, there was no one there. Even the carriage that was usually available was empty.
What's going on?
Does that mean... I'm being left alone?
If it's like this... I'm forced to...
I have to walk to town.
When I walked to the main gate, the few guards on guard didn't stop me. They seemed to not see me or chose to ignore me.
Well, I'm pretty self-aware of my appearance. With dark skin like this, the clothes I wear also match. I wear a long white robe that covers my face. With the contrast of dark skin and the white robe, this is enough to give a warning not to approach.
Besides... why do I have dark skin like this?
Was my mother like this before?
My heart suddenly felt sore, every vibration that beat gave me a sensation of pain. To reduce this pain, I unconsciously ran with all my might.
This is very strange, I run like this but my body does not feel tired. Even my breathing is very regular, different from my previous body.
Oh, that's right. The Yurification System has made me like this. My physical abilities have changed and the knowledge of sword arts has been embedded in my head.
Speaking of swords, there is a sword that I think suits me.
I remember my first experience when fighting a wolf.
What if a sword is shaped like a hair ribbon? Wouldn't that be cute and elegant?
Someone with the status of Father has permitted me to use three legendary metals. Why not use all of them?
I was a little surprised when I saw a line of soldiers suddenly entering my sight. Without realizing it, my running feet had brought me to the center of the city. Without sweat and fatigue, I had arrived in the city.
Time to take a little trip to explore the city!
Suddenly, someone pulled my hood.
"Lily-sama!!"
A girl carrying flowers and a book in her hands. She looks familiar.
"O-Oh, Mio" I was surprised to see Mio here.
Ah! Come to think of it. It's a holiday now which means.. Mio is returning home to visit her family.
"What is Lily-sama doing here? And where are Lily-sama's bodyguards?" Mio showered me with all kinds of questions.
How should I answer?
Should I answer honestly or...
"Shhh!!" unconsciously my hand moved to cover Mio's mouth.
"Mmmmph!!" Mio tried hard to remove it.
"Lily-samaaa.. mphmn!!" I did this because.. my ears suddenly heard a voice asking for help coming from behind my body.
"Mio, did you hear that?" I said to make sure.
"Hear what?" Mio asked.
The answer to that question suddenly came. Someone shouted, "Someone HELP ME! THIEF! BANDIT!"
It seems.. this request for help is quite complete.
"Lily-sama!" Mio then pulled my body away from this place.
"Mio? We didn't help them?"
"Uguh!" Mio suddenly fell silent.
I asked like that because of one or two things, first... Mio was carrying a sword in her belt and second.. our position was the closest to the victim.
With such a scream, the royal soldiers guarding the area should have been able to hear it.
"Lily-sama, don't tell me.."
"Let's help them!"
"Owuuu! Don't look at me like that!"
I looked at Mio with a pleading expression. In my experience, Mio was very weak with this expression.
"Uuu.. alright! We'll help them! But Lily-sama must take shelter in a safe place!"
"Umu!" I could only nod in agreement.
