Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 1147

Chapter 1147

Final episode. pilgrimage and return

September 9, 1806.

The first banquet hosted by Gene Runkandel, the head of the Runkandel family in their 60s, was held.

More people visited the Sword Garden than at the family succession ceremony last year. The pillars of the Runkandel and Bamal alliances equally accepted the challengers, and the people resolved the mutual aid they had built up over the past year.

“It’s truly a grand festival this year too.”

“Iknow, right. But it’s too bad there isn’t a Jin Confucius.”

It was Quikantel and Enya. The main players of the Bamal Alliance were sitting in the VIP seats at the banquet hall and watching the people entering the sparring hall.

“It’s a banquet in Runkandel, and it’s also a banquet to celebrate the head of the family’s birthday, but it’s strange that you’re not there.”

“It would have been perfect if Prince Jin and Valeria had shown their faces even for a moment.”

“There is nothing I can do because I have work to do. “They’ll miss us too.”

“Shall we at least communicate?”

“I tried it a little while ago. “It looks like I can’t get it.”

“Ugh, that’s a shame… … “Communication doesn’t always work well, so it’s sad to think about how difficult a time they’re both having.”

Jean and Valeria did not just attend the banquet.

The last time most of the colleagues saw the two people’s faces was a year ago, on the day Siron’s weapons, excluding Barisada’s, were placed in the Runkandel Mausoleum.

“Dante, have you and Beradin received any communication from our matriarch?”

“Yes, Sir Mary.”

It was Dante and Mary.

Colleagues looked at the same rings on their ring fingers. It was an engagement ring.

“It’s so amazing… … “When on earth did you two become so close?”

In response to Quicantel’s question, Dante cleared his throat and tried to talk back, but Mary grinned and showed her teeth.

“There is a saying that love blooms even during war. Isn’t it something like that? Dante would be able to withstand my sword even if he spent his entire life fighting, so there is no better husband for him.”

“That’s right, sister! But Sir Dante, run now!”

“That’s right, run away now, Sir Dante… … !”

When Brother Tona, who was at the table across from them, joined in the conversation, Mary was conscious of the stares around her as she tried to shake their heads. She couldn’t show jockeys beating up riders in a banquet hall. Brother Tona laughed and stuck out his tongue at Mary.

“Haha, anyway, my dear younger brothers. See you later?”

“Oh my, I’m so scared.”

“I’m scared, I’m scared. But we also became quite strong through training with our father.”

“Now, won’t it be difficult for you to deal with the two of us at the same time?”

Dante smiled sheepishly at the familiar situation. In fact, the Tona brothers often revealed their affection for Mary when they were drinking separately from Dante.

“Hmm, hmmm… … “Lord Mary will not have to deal with you two alone.”

“Wow, Dante, this cute guy! You’re so good at saying such ticklish things. What do you like? Say it again.”

“Lord Mary, it’s a bit… strange to say the same thing again.” … .”

“Oh come on again. “Please just this once.”

“hmm… … Lord Mary will not have to deal with you two alone… … .”

The colleagues shrugged their shoulders as they looked at Mary, who burst out in laughter, and Dante, who was blushing.

“Anyway, I don’t know if the youngest and Valeria can come to your wedding.”

This time it was Runtia who had just defeated all the challengers and left the sparring arena.

“ha? Sister, that doesn’t make sense. “Do you think my youngest won’t even attend my wedding?”

“Officially, today’s banquet is a bigger event than your wedding.”

“Damn, that’s right. But that’s by our Runkandel standards, and isn’t our wedding a bigger event by Bamal Union standards?”

“That’s true too. “I hope we can see their faces thanks to your wedding.”

“Dante, if the youngest doesn’t show up, even if just by chance, our wedding will be cancelled. “Let’s do it on a day when the youngest can come.”

“Of course, of course you should.”

“I’m kidding. “Whether they come or not, you and I are the main characters that day, so of course we have to do it as planned.”

“I was serious.”

“Really? “We are the main characters?”

“It was actually a joke. I’m sorry. As an apology, later today, when we are together, I will sing the song I mentioned last time.”

“As expected, it’s cute!”

The colleagues burst into laughter as they watched Dante and Mary go dancing.

“Jin was a little surprised when he heard the news late when we had a short communication last time, but he quickly understood it, saying that it seemed like that for some reason. “Enya, you and Valeria really can’t come to your wedding, right?”

“I won’t do that, Yuria.”

“At times like this, it’s a little unfortunate that the power of foresight has disappeared.”

“Yuria, you shouldn’t say things like that, even as a joke.”

“Oh, I understand. I made a mistake. However, I didn’t say that because I missed them… … “I did it because I felt sorry for Aunt Gilly.”

When Gilly’s name was mentioned, the expressions on the colleagues’ faces became solemn.

She had become noticeably emaciated over the past year. Even at today’s banquet, she was treated as the most honored guest and received praise from many, but she spent more time alone in her old room than in the banquet hall.

Even now, Gilly was still staring at the sky outside the window with blank eyes.

“I can’t do it. “Finte, I’m going to see Kou and Aunt Gilly.”

“Okay, come back. “But when Gilly is with you, he smiles more naturally.”

“It reminds me of when the CEO was young. All kids have some similarities. “You will also remember Murakan playing with the kids.”

As Eliot spoke while looking at the back of the children running, his colleagues nodded.

“It’s harsh, but it can’t be called harsh, so I hope Gilly’s time of suffering will come to an end soon. It’s already been two years since the world was restored. It is a short time for long-lived beings, but it is definitely not such a time for humans. Even more so if you miss and wait so desperately… … .”

As they said, it has already been two years.

As usual on peaceful days, time was passing by like children suddenly growing up.

May 22, 1807.

It was decided that Dante and Mary’s wedding would first be held in a private ceremony in the Garden of Swords, and then in a public ceremony in the Empire.

Naturally, only family members and members of the Bamul Union attended the private ceremony.

“Dante.”

“Please speak, Mary.”

“You probably had a date you wanted to choose for your wedding, so thank you for following my opinion. We’ve already been living together for over half a year, but it feels strange to be planning a wedding. “I miss Brother Dipus.”

May 22nd, four years ago today, was the day Diphus passed away with a piece of the evil spirit’s power.

“I miss my grandfather too. May is a meaningful month to me too. “It was in May that I had a drink with Jin in front of my grandfather who became the light.”

Now, the light left by Ron Hairan no longer exists in the Black Yellow Land. He realizes that his duty as guardian is over when the world is restored, and chooses to return to his nature.

“Yes, I thought of my father too. My father and Sir Ron are probably watching us from somewhere. Brother Diphus must be caught in the middle. “I guess you adapted well to your generous and gentle father.”

“Mary and her family adapted quickly, so I think so. Rather, I’m worried about my grandfather. I’m sure he still thinks Siron is a bit unfamiliar.”

“Haha, that’s right. Well, it’s about time. “Let’s go out and get married.”

“Give me your hand. “I want to grab it and leave.”

As the door opened, I heard cheers from my colleagues and the knights of the family. The two looked for Jin’s face, waving at them.

“There it is, Jin! The youngest, Valeria! A long time! Yes, you should come to our wedding.”

“Here you go, you guys… … !”

Jean and Valeria were sitting front and center, congratulating the soon-to-be husband and wife.

However, unlike other colleagues, he did not look very dressed up. Light coats and robes showing signs of a long journey, but the important thing was that they had come.

“Congratulations, Sister Mary. Congratulations, Dante.”

“You two look good together.”

As the head of the family, Jin went up to the stage and gave a congratulatory speech for the couple, and Valeria made their vows using recording magic.

“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can stay until the public ceremony.”

“What are you sorry about, dear? Rather, we feel sorry for you. “I will be happy with Mary and take care of the surroundings as much as I can, so don’t worry and go back.”

“Yes, youngest. “Yonah was much better at being the head of the family than I thought.”

“Hey, did you mention me? That’s right, I’m doing a good job as the head of the house. Because there’s nothing to do… … !”

“Jonah, Jin, who said he wanted to see you so much, is here, so please watch him as much as possible. There is a high possibility that I won’t be able to see you again for a long time.”

In fact, Jonah has already seen Jin and Valeria about five or six times.

The acting head of Runkandel’s 60s was a position with a lot of time, and Yona was the most people-seeking person in the world, except for Valeria, the recording wizard.

However, Jonah did not tell his brothers and companions about Jin and Valeria. Everyone would be worried if they knew that the two of them were having a hard time every day, just like the war. In fact, Jin and Valeria were always so exhausted that they never noticed that Jonah had been watching them.

“Heh, it’s not good for either of us to worry about things we don’t need to worry about.”

“huh?”

“It just suddenly occurred to me, Luna. “It’s so nice to be able to talk to my youngest for the first time in a long time, right?”

“then. “Are you both taking care of your meals?”

“Are you really going to starve, Sister Luna?”

“Honestly, I don’t understand why people ask me why I eat so well. Now I understand. “No matter how strong you are, that’s what I’m worried about.”

However, neither the brothers nor their colleagues could hold Jin for long. It’s not like he can really stay for long anyway, and his colleagues haven’t forgotten who needs Jin the most right now.

“gillie.”

“young master.”

Jin looked into Gilly’s eyes and smiled bitterly.

Jin and Valeria, of course, Murakan and Misha were the reason why they could not join their comrades even after the fight was over.

“gillie… … “Please wait a little longer.”

“Honestly, it is true that I feel extremely empty and lonely every day because Murakan-nim is not here and I can’t even see you. But I can wait as long as I want.”

Gilly spoke in a calm voice and gently hugged Jin.

“So don’t spend every day like you’re being chased by something. It won’t be a long time for Murakan and Misha, so I just have to live my life as I am. My heart aches to see your face becoming gaunt. “If you feel tired, come home and rest at any time.”

“Yes, Gilly. “I’ll come see you more often.”

“I’m not saying you should come see me often. “It was a story about how I wish Master and Valeria would take more care of themselves.”

“know. But I still want to say that.”

“It’s been a while since I baked a strawberry pie. “I made a lot of sandwiches that you like, so don’t forget them when you go.”

* * *

A banquet was also held on September 9, 1808.

This time too, Jean and Valeria did not attend. However, since Jean and Valeria returned home every two months after Mary and Dante’s wedding, spent a few hours and then left again, their colleagues felt a little less disappointed than before.

September 9, 1809 and September 9, 1810 were the same. However, my colleagues tried not to get used to it, holding the same banquet every year without Gene and Valeria. To get used to it whenever they come back.

In 1811, Emperor Eliot of Cheongpung was on his deathbed. The time given to him had run out. Jean and Valeria attended the funeral and sent him off with their colleagues.

“Once something happens, it never happens again. So the moment, the memory, is the wind that blows forever.”

“Eventually, one day we will all be scattered into the world, but our memories will always be engraved in a corner of eternity. I love you, disciple. And friends. “I will leave first to meet the brothers buried in my heart.”

Ban and Luna recited Eliot’s will as descendants and disciples, respectively. Jean and Valeria recalled that will several times as they left again. In a corner of eternity, our memories are always engraved.

Seven, eight, nine years since the day the world was restored… … .

And ten years passed, and it was 1814.

September 9th, the day when Runkandel’s banquet is held every year. Today again, the stars of the Runkandel and Bamul alliance gathered in the Garden of Swords.

I accepted the warriors’ challenge, resolved their worries, and waited for Jin and Valeria while still trying not to get used to it.

Just one person.

Unlike last year, Gilly was not sitting in the VIP section of the Sword Garden. He went into the room he shared with Jin and Murakhan alone and did not even look out the window.

An old inn in the Kingdom of Mittel, she was heading there, holding a basket in one hand.

The inn was not open today. However, when Gilly knocked on the door, Jean and Valeria opened it from inside.

“I’m here? gillie.”

Gilly walked inside and looked around the inn.

“Master, this place… … .”

My throat was so tight that I couldn’t speak well. Gilly was thinking about a day 24 years ago in 1790. Even if 10 years or 100 years passed from now, the memories of that day that I would never forget were vividly pictured as if they were yesterday.

“That’s right, it’s that inn. know? “Let’s go to the third floor.”

Gilly’s shoulders were shaking as she climbed the stairs one step at a time. Gilly felt that Jin and Valeria’s backs were also shaking.

Surprisingly, the sunniest room on the third floor was waiting for them, looking exactly the same as before.

The difference was that Jin and Valeria, who came first, left a small ball of light floating in the middle of the room.

“I’m sorry I’m so late, Gilly. Saying sorry… … “It’s finally coming out of my mouth now.”

“Don’t do that, master. Don’t say you’re sorry… … .”

Gilly put down the basket and covered his mouth with both hands. Her wet eyes sparkled. What if it was a dream? What if this moment was a dream? Those thoughts were flowing down my cheeks.

“Dream… … “No, right?”

“no. “I really wanted to show you this moment.”

A piece of light swaying innocently.

For the past ten years, Jean and Valeria have been away from their loved ones to collect this light. Find the records of Murakan and Misha flowing through the light, catch them, and hold them in your arms… … .

Finally, it was this inn that left the most powerful records about Murakan.

24 years ago, while leaving Storm Castle, Murakan was almost turned into a cat by Jin’s prank. This is the very inn where Gilly met Murakan for the first time and formed the unofficial trio of Runkandel with Jin.

Soon, Jin created a spiritual energy on his palm that was exactly the same size as the light in front of him.

It was the last spirit left in this world.

“Now let this flow into the light and our guardian dragons will return. Now then… … “I’ll start.”

The spiritual energy fluttering above Jin’s hand slowly dispersed, crumbled, and approached the light.

The light simmered for a while. Then it split in half, becoming two black cats.

“what? “Nyaa?”

“Haaaaaaah!”

Uh, what is it?

You idiot, you’re back!

These were the first words shared by the reunited brother and sister. Murakhan came to her senses after being slapped on the cheek by Misha’s front paw.

Then, he transformed into a human and hugged everyone he could see.

Misha deliberately didn’t turn into a human right away, but went up to the desk and looked at the people hugging each other.

Of course, she wanted to hug Jin, Valeria, and Strawberry Pie, but she still couldn’t bear to touch Murakan. Anyway, there were many opportunities to hug each other in the future.

“Strawberry pie! Little… … ! “History guy!”

“Murakan! Murakan, you bastard. It’s really you. Right?”

“Yes, that’s me! “You too, kid!”

“hardship… … You had a hard time fighting and coming back, Murakan. “It took me 10 years to say this.”

“Strawberry pie, I will never leave you again. I will never go anywhere without you again. “I’ll always be by your side, always!”

Those who had been hugging for a while stood up.

And Jin and Murakan looked at each other. The two people smiled and opened their mouths like this, as if they had made a promise.

“I am Murakan. Solderet’s representative, his close friend, and the last descendant of the first being created from shadows. According to a thousand-year promise, from today I will be with you. “Say your name.”

A serious voice was heard, not like the one who had been crying like a child just a moment ago. Jin was seven years old, and she met Murakhan for the first time. She answered, barely suppressing her heart that was shaking like that day.

“This is Jean Runkandel. “He is Runkandel’s thirteenth and last born child.”

The pilgrimage is over, and the return is over. Now it was time to go home.

It was time to enjoy life together.
