Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

"I don\'t know, man. Who knows?"

I gather them here to announce something important. I wanted them to know the truth and give up what they were hoping for.

"Hey, guys. I have something to tell you."

"What would it be?" Asked Seth.

"Well… It\'s about my sister." I said it hesitantly.

"What\'s about her?" This time, Gauss inquired.

After I let out a tired sigh, I am gradually explaining the matters about my sister. "To tell you the truth, I gravely advise you three to give up your hopes on my sister."

By three. I am referring to my sister\'s suitors, Seth, Gauss and Alexander. Serdean only wanted to fight my sister but needed to step over my dead body first.

"Why though?" Alexander curiously demanded an explanation.

That\'s right, I am about to disclose Sister\'s real sexual identity. She is only limitedly attracted to women, not the opposite sex.

"What I am about to reveal might be shocking." I glanced at them to confirm something. "Are you still going to hear it?"

The four, including Serdean looked at each other\'s faces and nodded before turning their attention to me. "We understood. We will hear you out."

"Hm. Okay. Thanks for the response." I cleared my throat before explaining the truth. "The truth is... my sister likes women."

"…"

"Which probably means she wasn\'t interested in you, guys. So give up all your hopes already as early as you can."

"…"

"Um… Aren\'t you going to say something?"

"So the rumors are true, huh." Gauss finally broke the ice, but his words baffled me.

"Rumors?"

"Yeah." Seth answered my question melancholically. "There\'s a talk circulating around the academy about Louise."

"Rumors about how gentle she treats the girls but the opposite with the boys." Alexander added. "She only hangs out with girls and mostly spends her time with them."

"Really?"

"Really." Seth noddingly said. "There\'s even a hearsay among the girls that they allegedly caught her constantly peeking at their bodies with malice. They had started thinking of her as being attracted to women since she\'s a child of Raevenders."

"So there\'s something like that happening in the academy, huh. By the way, what are you going to do now that you have learned the truth?"

"Well…" Gauss responded first. "It looks like I have to accept the proposal my parents offered to me."

"Hm." Alexander pushes his glasses. "My parents only wanted to make a connection with your family, and I don\'t really have any feelings for Louise, anyway."

"Sigh…" Seth let out an exhausted sigh. "Seems like I have to utterly declare defeat now. Besides, I can\'t see myself defeating you no matter how much I try."

"I thought you would react more stubbornly."

I totally expected them to stubbornly refuse, but I didn\'t expect this to happen. Well, it\'s better since I don\'t have to fight anymore. Besides, I don\'t want Sister to be taken by a man.

"So, you\'re going to give up now?"

"Although we cannot take your sister\'s hand, I gained a strong body instead."

"Gauss is right, Raphael." Alexander agreed. "Your hellish guidance remarkably improves battle capabilities."

"Your boot camp is just beyond common sense, right, Nashkin?"

"Yeah, I totally agree with them. With our current selves, we might beat the crap out of our seniors!"

Despite learning the truth about my sister\'s identity, the four noblemen are now full of enthusiasm and determination. But they have to regularly train their bodies in order to maintain their fitness.

"Just continue doing what you had started in the academy, okay?"

"Yes, Sword Devil!"

◆◇◆◇◆◇

More than a week had passed since the drug raid and capture of former Commerce Minister Alt Furz. The news didn\'t only spread in the country but in other realms as well.

The fuss caused great disturbance for the underworlders in the city after Michael\'s party assisted the authorities. Many of the illegal businesses and smuggling warehouses had been seized by the knights without, if any, minor issues.

Michael and the party keep an eye on the Dwarfen Capital every now and then. Observing some changes in the state, but found the strange silence of the syndicate recently.

With nothing else to do and no way to get more information about the organization anymore, the party decided to leave the country and return to the Imperial Capital.

They had spent much money and would eventually run out of coins soon. It\'s not that the city doesn\'t give them enough money, but the quests posted inside the city\'s Adventurers\' Guild are mostly about monster subjugation in the mines.

It\'s a waste of time for them, and they don\'t want to hole up in the country any longer. Throughout their months of adventuring, they established some acquaintances among their peers. They felt slightly homesick and wanted to see some familiar faces again.

"It\'s been more than a month since the last time we saw this building."

Gabrielle said as the party traced the road going to the Adventurers\' Guild. The Adventurers\' Guild main building is so tall that they can peek at its highest point from a few hundred meters away.

Locals greeted the party as they passed by the stalls and stores. People approached them to get a good look at them. Some even halted their work to see the vista that they hadn\'t seen for more than a month.

Not only are they powerful and strong, but they also have an unparalleled beauty that has unwillingly captivated the people of the city, making them popular among the masses. Many have learned their lessons about hitting girls, so no one dares attempt it again.

Within a few minutes, they had reached the jurisdiction of the guild. Adventurers in the vicinity twist their necks to peel their eyes off of them. Most of them already recognized their abilities and had high respect for their strengths.

Michael and the ladies came to the guild to report their accomplishments on their last quest and claim their rewards. Quests have to be confirmed by a guild receptionist before claiming the reward money.

Upon entering the building, the four didn\'t waste any time and approached Nefa\'s desk right away. Some adventurers greeted them, to which they just waved a hand or deliberately ignored it. It\'s not rush hour yet, so the foot traffic is still low.

"Welcome back, Myriad Wings!" Nefa was greeted happily and in a professional way. "It\'s been more than a month."

".…Yeah, it\'s been so long."

Michael greeted Nefa with a subtle face, and Nefa frowned, thinking Michael wasn\'t seemingly happy to see her again. But in truth, the party is secretly checking her light.

"I guess your party has finished the last quest, yes?"

"…That\'s right." Michael took a slip from his magic bag. "…Here is the sign of approval from Mr. Norm."

"Thank you." Nefa forcefully smiled as she received the slip.

She scanned the paper and verified it eventually.

"Your work has been verified. Five pieces of gold are your reward."

Something\'s murky behind her flawless smile. Expressions that she masked with her expressionless face. Seeing that, Gabrielle and the other ladies, who are in the third person, realized something.

(How could Michael—no, that\'s wrong. How could we become so dense?!)

Before they could telepathically remind Michael, Nefa continued to speak.

"By the way, the Guildmaster told me that he wanted to have a talk with your party the day you return to the capital."

"…Is that so? Then we will comply in accordance with his will."

"He is currently upstairs; he is anticipating your arrival today. Do you want me to set an appointment now?"

"…That helps a lot— Ah…"

Suddenly, Michael received a message in his head. The contents were quite unbelievable, but he eventually absorbed and digested them in his mind. Since that\'s what they said, he has to believe them.

"…By the way, Nefa."

"What is it, Michael?"

"Um… are you somewhat free tonight?"

"Mmm. I don\'t think I have anything to do after this. So, yeah, I\'m free."

"So, would you like to have dinner with me?"

"A dinner?" Michael\'s question flabbergasted Nefa, which is understandable since no one ever asked her that. "Okay, Michael. I\'ll go with you."

"Thank you for your response, Nefa. See you later."

"See you later."

◆◇◆

On the second floor of the Adventurers\' Guild main building, inside the Guildmaster\'s office. The members of Myriad Wings sat together on a wide couch, facing a man in his late forties.

"It\'s probably our first meeting. My name is Gilbert, the Guildmaster of the Adventurers\' Guild. I\'m glad to finally meet the members of Myriad Wings."

"It\'s our pleasure meeting you, Guildmaster." Michael humbly replied.

"You don\'t need to be so unpretentious. Your party got its name too."

There\'s no better word to describe Gilbert than robust. His muscles are still bulging after his years of retirement. Trimmed black hair and black eyes sharply appraise the party in front.

One of the only three adventurers who reached Supreme Rank D. With his strength of over Level 600, a single swing of his greatsword could wipe out hundreds of monsters. A man whose name is already carved in the annals of history.

"…Um, why does the Guildmaster want to discuss with a party like us?"

"Well, let\'s get straight to the point." Gilbert turned to his Guildmaster mode. "There\'s actually someone who wanted to meet the party who supplies Tyrant Lizard materials the most in the guild."

"Hm? May I ask who they are?"

"Well, they are the vampires of Prussilvania."
