The Legendary Rebuilding of a World by a Realist Demon King

Chapter 195

Side Story Jeanne and the Monsters

Outside of the walls of Ashtaroth Castle

Why are there so many monsters here!?

I dont know. In any case, we just have to kill them all.

You dont have to tell me that! My unit is over here!

Yes, Saint Jeanne!

Now, brace yourself.

You too, Hijikata.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Hes raising his hand silently and trying to look goodit's most vexing.

Saint Jeanne. Should we attack the monsters like this head on?

Yes. We will do that, because Hijikata will go around their backs.

Understood! Follow after Saint Jeanne!

Defeat the monsters slowly but loudly so that we attract their attention. However, be careful so that they dont surround you.

Brilliant! Saint Jeanne!

Im just repeating what Ashta said.

The Demon King is brilliant! He is our Demon King!

Ashta is a geniusoh! That was close! Huh?

Th-thank you!

Dont mention it. Right now, we must focus on defeating the monsters.

Yes!

Hmm? My sword seems dull today.

Ashtaroth Town Blacksmith

Gottlieb!

Hmm? What is it?

Im having trouble cutting with my sword. The Nouvelle Joyeuse.

This sword?

Yes.

I see. You cant cut with it, eh? Let me see

Hmm. It seems like you do proper maintenance on it.

Of course, I do. Swords become dull if you dont.

Indeed. Perhaps it hit the bones of a monster. The blade has a small dent in it.

Even I could not fix that dent

It would be difficult without a special whetstone. But I can fix this. However, I will have to carve away at the blade, so it will be a little smaller. Is that alright?

Thats fine! Thank you, Gottlieb!!

Thank me when Im finished. Hey!

You called me, Sir Gottlieb?

Im a ghost, so I cant repair it directly. And so Ill leave it to you.

Very well. Saint Jeanne, I will repair the blade for you.

This is Jin. Hes a master sharpener.

Is that so? Then I leave it to you!

Now, you should rest in the town until it is finished.

No, I would like to watch. This weapon is very important to me.

I see. In that case, you can sit right here.

Yes. There are so many whetstones.

We change whetstones by grit, depending on the chip in the blade.

And the rougher ones carve off more?

Aye, thats right. We use the rough whetstones first, and then the smooth ones to finish them off.

But I only have one whetstone. Should I have lots of them too?

You would be able to do this yourself if you did. But leaving it to the blacksmiths is also fine.

Hmm

But youll likely make mistakes at first if you do it yourself. And so you should watch Jin and learn from him.

That is a good idea! I will do that!

Come any time. You are very welcome.

Sir Gottlieb, Saint Jeanne. I have finished.

What!? That is so fast! And it doesnt look smaller at all!

But it is smaller. I sanded it down over the dent.

It feels just a little lighter! And it fits in my sheath.

Of course, it fits in your sheath. In fact, it might be a little loose now. Perhaps

Amazing! It fits perfectly!

Perfectly?

See! It fits in my sheath and isnt loose at all! And I can unsheath it without any problems.

Thats not possible

I suppose its because it is a floating relic from another world.

How very strange. It seemed like an ordinary sword when I was repairing it.

Well, there are a lot of unexplained mysteries in the world.

Im glad that its fixed! Now Im going to test the sharpness!!

Its only just repaired What a lively child.

Indeed. But Im sure that the sword is happy.

Outside the Ashtaroth Castle

Why are there no more monsters!!

Hello. Thank you for reading. While there are a few short bonus chapters, this is the last one I will be translating for this series. I hoped you enjoyed the ride and thank you for the support up until now.
