I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Relying on Urushi’s presence that we could feel from a distance, we made our way through the ship.

If we met any people from the merchants’ association along the way, we would try to put them to sleep as gently as possible. This was because we didn’t know if they were all from the Raidos Kingdom or just hired locals.

But if they turned out to be the enemy, we would just simply break their legs.

『Fran, he’s around the corner』

「Nn」

Fran arrived at the corner of the ship’s upper floors. They probably used the upper floors as offices and the lower floors as warehouses.

『Urushi』

(Woof)

When I called him, Urushi showed up from the shadow of a decorative plant.

『Is Gregory in this room?』

(Woof woof!)

『Fran, let’s capture everyone in the room』

(Nn!)

『Urushi, keep an eye out for anyone who might try to escape from the ship. Don’t hesitate to use violence to prevent them from escaping』

(Woof!)

Then, after we saw Urushi off, we stepped into the room in front of us.

The people inside finally noticed us when they heard the sound of the door being slashed open by Fran.

Gregory, who had been rummaging through his desk, turned his gaze towards us.

Then, a look of astonishment came over his face.

「H-how...!?」

「How come you’re still here, did the undead not kill her!?」

「!!」

With those words, they must have realized that their attempt had been exposed.

「Jag! Vade! Kill her!」

Besides Gregory, there were other men in the room who looked like Adventurers.

They didn’t seem to be strong, as they couldn’t even detect Fran’s presence outside the room before. Well, their abilities as warriors were just average, but their skills outside of combat, such as detection, seemed to be mediocre.

「...Haa!」

「Nuuooh!」

However, it seemed that they were well trained. Without uttering a single unnecessary word, they attacked Fran.

I guess they had been trained to follow orders regardless of the opponent’s background or age. Their level of coordination was not bad either.

If their opponent had been an E-ranked adventurer, it might have worked. But something like that wouldn’t even work against Fran.

Fran’s fist, which she swung like a flicker jab, struck them both in the jaw in rapid succession, reaping their consciousness in an instant.

Even though it was just a simple jab, they still received a hit from someone like Fran. Their jawbone would be shattered at the very least.

「Wha...! S-she took out two knights in instant!?」

「I’ve defeated your undead, so there’s no way I’m gonna had a hard time against these people」

Gregory was astonished for some reason, but Fran told him so while tilting her head.

Then Gregory’s eyes, which had been wide open, widened even more. I didn’t know human eyes could get that big.

「You’ve defeated it... you said!?」

「Nn」

「Liar!!」

「I’m not lying」

「That’s a monster that can even destroy a small country, you know...!? It was a non-fighter, but no ordinary adventurer should be able to hurt it! That’s why―...!」

「But I’ve defeated it」

「That’s ridiculous!」

Apparently, he thought that we had noticed the undead and went away without a fight. Well, knowing the strength of the Wight King, he probably could not help but think that.

Even at the sight of two men instantly defeated in front of his eyes, he didn’t seem to believe that Fran was stronger than the Wight King.

But he seemed to understand that she wasn’t an opponent he could beat anyway. There was a hint of anger and impatience in Gregory’s eyes.

「Little girl... If you didn’t get out of here now, we’ll――」

He was probably thinking of scaring Fran to get out of this situation. However, as if to interrupt Gregory’s words, Fran opened her mouth.

「We know that you are connected to the Raidos Kingdom」

「Ha, hahaha... What are you talking about? Where did you get that false information...?」

At this stage, he still tried to make an excuse, but it was of no use. There was no point in arguing with him here.

「Shii」

「Ghaa!」

Fran stepped in easily, keeping low, and drove a body blow into Gregory’s stomach. Fran’s fist went in deep enough to completely bury itself in Gregory’s plump flesh.

「Ughaah!」

Gregory cowered in place, spitting out various things from his mouth.

He was plunging face-first into his vomit, but the pain in his abdomen must have been so unbearable that he didn’t even notice it.

Even when he didn’t have anything left to spit out, he was still holding his stomach and groaning on the floor.

Even so, Gregory looked up at us with a miserable expression on his face, as if he was feeling somewhat better after a dozen seconds. He seemed to have completely understood his position.

「I’m gonna have you talk about a lot of things」

「...Kuh」

After that, he was able to endure some of it, but again, for not being a fighter himself, Gregory did not have a high pain tolerance.

I guess he was prepared for a violent interrogation, but his resolve seemed to have been shattered when he was actually beaten.

It was quite rare to see people who looked so desperate when they were being healed.

「Ghaah... Talk...! I’ll talk...! L-let me talk, I beg you!」

Ten minutes later, he was crying and begging for it himself.
