My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 177: I'll Wait

While Queresha and Zenobia were talking Jin-ah was looking around the shop like a curious child.

"Oh, Now that you are here Haru, Director Cynthia sent these over to your place but you weren't there so she left it with me instead," Zenobia suddenly remembered the letter Cynthia sent her and brought it out of her dimensional ring and handed it to Haru.

"Sorry for troubling you," Haru said and took the letter while Zenobia just smiled.

Haru opened the letter and saw two cards in it with the letter that asked him to visit the Academy once before the academic year begins.

'So the cards are passes that can be used to enter the academy,' Haru nodded and placed the cards in his dimensional ring.

"Well now that introductions are done, Zenobia I have a reason to visit you today," Haru said.

"Oh, And here I thought you came by to meet me," Zenobia said with a smile trying to stop from blushing.

"That too, but the main reason is for Queresha," Haru said with a smile as he pointed at Queresha. Zenobia was a bit flustered that Haru didn't deny her claim but she quickly composed herself.

'I can't act like this in front of possible customers,' Zenobia thought as she looked at Queresha and Jin-ah. Both of them had power and really good personalities that were Zenobia's impression in the little time she had seen them.

"Oh, Ok what can I help you with Queresha?" Zenobia asked with a serious expression.

"My Lord said that you were the best blacksmith he knew here, so I hope you can help me with this," Queresha said with a smile as she took out a sheathed sword that had a black handguard with a crest of a golden lion roaring.

"You flatter me too much, But do you mind if I take a look," Zenobia asked because she could see how important the sword was in Queresha's eyes.

"By all means," Queresha handed the sword to Zenobia.

Zenobia wrapped her fingers around the handle and she was shocked.

'Who owned this.... sword?' Zenobia gulped as she felt the strong aura emanating from this sword.

Zenobia slowly unsheathed the sword slowly to see a silver blade that shone brilliantly, Zenobia felt her heart beat faster as she looked at the blade with surprised eyes.

She was able to see Queresha using this sword to kill many monsters, plus she was able to see a few other figures using it as well. But Queresha was the most notable be it her skill or power.

"What do you think Zenobia?" Haru asked bringing Zenobia out of her daze.

"This is a really well-made sword, it is a beautiful weapon that will never fail its wielder in any circumstances," Zenobia said with a smile as she looked at the crack that was on the blade.

"Is this a sword that was passed down in your family Miss Queresha?" Zenobia asked and Queresha nodded with a surprised look. She didn't expect Zenobia to find out about it.

"Ok, then please would you do some a swing with this sword?" Zenobia asked as she took a sword from the display, the sword had the same length as Queresha's sword.

"Ok," Queresha nodded and took the sword took a stance by holding the sword in front of her chest then raising it above her head and bringing it down.

SLASH*

Queresha quickly slashed downwards slash although there was no mana used the power of the swing was too strong, Haru can see small cracks forming on the ground and walls in the room. But Zenobia was fully focused on Queresha and after that Zenobia asked Queresha to do a few more swings with different two-handed swords which had different lengths and widths.

"It is as I thought," Zenobia nodded after the 10th swing while ignoring the cracks that were forming in her shop.

"Woah! Queresha Unnie is awesome," Jin-ah clapped while looking at Queresha who just smiled at her actions.

"What do you mean Zenobia?" Haru asked because he was sure Zenobia caught something, hearing his words Queresha and Jin-ah became curious as well.

"I was getting to that, So Queresha would you like me to reforge this blade?" Zenobia asked and Queresha froze for a second.

"…Is it not possible to repair it?" Queresha asked with a bit of uneasiness on her face.

"I can repair it but to be blunt Queresha this sword is holding you back," Zenobia said and Queresha didn't say anything.

"Holding her back?" Haru tilted his head and looked at Queresha who remained silent.

"But didn't you say earlier that this sword is like….. an awesome Sword," Jin-ah said as she tapped her chin and Haru sighed because it was clear that Jin-ah forgot what Zenobia said.

"I understand what you mean, this sword will never fail its wielder but This sword wasn't made for Queresha, it is a sword that has been passed down in her family, it doesn't suit her that is the reason I was asking if I can reforge the blade to suit her," Zenobia explained and Haru walked over to Queresha.

"Resha is something bothering you?" Haru asked with worry.

She looked up at Haru but was hesitating to say it, seeing her like this Haru sighed.

"It is ok, tell me when you are ready," Haru spoke with a soft smile as he patted Queresha's head.

"...Yes My Lord," Queresha nodded as she felt his worry.

"Ahem* well the atmosphere is quite good and I don't want to break it but please give me your answer Queresha, I would be honored to make a blade for a person like yourself," Zenobia said while bringing the attention back to the main topic.

"…Please give me some time to think about it," Queresha said after a deep breath.

"Well it is quite a shame, You are welcome here if you ever want to visit, don't stand on ceremony with me," Zenobia said with a smile after she sheathed the sword back and handed it to Queresha.

"I'll keep it in mind," Queresha said with a smile.

"Then Zenobia we'll be off, sorry for the sudden visit," Haru said.

"It is not a problem, please come by when you feel like it," Zenobia spoke with a smile.

"Bye~, Your shop is awesome but what will you do about the cracks?" Jin-ah said making Zenobia and Queresha notice the cracks on the ground and the walls.

"Ah now that you say it," Zenobia smiled wryly as she looked around to see cracks on the floor and walls.

"I am Sorry I should've held back a little," Queresha said with an embarrassed look.

'How will we fix this maybe some earth release will work,' Haru thought as he looked around.

"No it is fine, I was too excited to notice that we were not in the training room, Please don't mind it, I can handle it," Zenobia laughed and placed her hands on the floor.

Zenobia's hands glowed in yellow light as mana passed through the building mending the cracks and in less than 5 seconds the shop was back to how it was before.

"Wow, that is awesome," Jin-ah's eyes were shining as she looked at Zenobia.

"Sorry for the trouble," Haru said with a wry smile.

"Don't mind it Haru," Zenobia said and then Haru left the shop with Queresha and Jin-ah.

Zenobia sat down on a chair and sighed while looking at the door.

'She is a great warrior but that isn't her strong point,' Zenobia thought.

"So a Ruler can be like this as well," Zenobia muttered while her hands opened and closed. She didn't know why she felt so happy to see Queresha who had a strong air of royalty around her.

To be honest, Zenobia had always been disappointed in the royals of this continent. She herself had no idea why she felt like they weren't like the kings she imagined. And she didn't know where she got this standard from but that was beside the point.

"I want to make a sword for her, But I guess now isn't the time," Zenobia sighed dejectedly, She was happy to see a person that matched the image she had in mind.

'But why did I feel my chest tighten when I saw Haru with them,' Zenobia thought.

She felt a little sad when she saw Haru look at the two so sweetly and caringly.

"Even though I knew about it," Zenobia rested her head on the table and closed her eyes.

Inside Xyrus Academy,

The students who came back to the academy ahead of time were busy with their work. Some moved around busily trying to complete their tasks.

"Haru this place is so awesome," Jin-ah was running around the hallways like a child while Haru and Queresha walked behind her to keep an eye on her.

They have been looking around the academy for a while and wherever they passed by they could feel the eye of the students on them.

"H-hey am I dreaming?" A few girls squealed while looking at Haru.

"I haven't seen a lady as beautiful as that," many boys couldn't help but get entranced by Queresha's beauty.

"W-Who is she? D-Damn it she's too cute," While many were looking at jin-ah running around with a sweet smile like a small child.

"Damn if only I could have 1% of that guy's looks, I wouldn't be single," everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes at this comment.

"..."

At this point, they have gotten used to it because this is a normal occurrence for them.

"My Lord, Are you interested in Zenobia?" Queresha asked as she looked at Haru.
