I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (LN) - Volume 6 - Chapter Ep

Epilogue

I FEEL LIKE I SAY THIS every time we leave somewhere, but Ulmutt’s a good town.

“Hm.”

“Woof.”

We met Lumina, which led to Fran evolving. Our whole trip here was a miracle, really. If one of the cogs were out of place by even a millimeter, none of it would’ve happened.

Fran finally knew members of her own tribe after meeting Lumina and Inina. It was a tribal bond, different from the relationship she shared with her parents. She fulfilled her mission of raising peoples’ opinions of Black Cats throughout the world. Old Lumina even pampered her a little, showing me a cute side of Fran I never thought possible.

The tournament taught us a lot. Hit and run, compatibility, distractions. Stat superiority wasn’t the only way to win a fight. The tournament even taught us our strengths. Most of all, we understood that there were still people much stronger than us. We couldn’t beat Forlund or Amanda if they decided to go all-out. Winning was impossible. But that only meant that we had to get stronger.

“We’ll be back next year.”

Yeah, we’ll win for sure by then.

“Hm.”

And then there was the Beast King and his crew. Despite the animosity between Black and Blue Cats, there was a strand of hope, although it mostly depended on the Blue Cats’ cooperation. Even so, there was at least the beginning of a dialogue. The Beast King and Zehmet would do their part, but that didn’t mean we could slack off.

Next stop, the Beastman Nation. It’s gonna be a whole new continent.

“What do you think it’s going to be like?” Fran asked.

Beats me. I’ve never been there.

We could probably look for information, but going in blind was exciting.

Black Cat Kiara…

Kiara was the Beast King’s master and an old friend of Dias, Aurel, and Lumina. Rumor had it that when she was younger, she was a lot like Fran, right down to her personality and her love for battle. As much as I loved Fran, I couldn’t help but worry about meeting an older version of her.

I wonder what she’s like.

“I can’t wait to see her,” said Fran.

I hope you like each other. Seriously.

“Hm!”

What hellos and farewells awaited us next? I only hoped that our next stop would help Fran grow and bring her joy.
