Chapter 77: Ch.77 Oath
( Yuto Pov )
* Two years later,*
Liz:" Play again, play again!!" Liz shouted.
Chuckling, I spoke.
" Alright, alright."
I strummed the guitar strings once more and played again
"In my heart, I hear a melody,
A call for me to sing, so sweet and true,
The words I write, they flow so eloquently,
To tell, a lovestruck tale, of you and me and all we feel,
Your smile lights up my world,
Like a sparkling dawn to behold,
You are my muse in this song, that I'm proud to behold,
With every moment, of every night,
In every way, I'm so excited,
For what this love of ours shall"
I used to sing this to Artoria when we were alone on our adventures. Every night, we sneaked out and enjoyed each other's company's
[ Musician Level 97 -> Level 98 ]
Since my time here in the land of shadows, I indulged myself in my hobbies once more.
"In my heart, I hear a melody,
A call for me to sing, so sweet and true,
The words I write, they flow so eloquently,
And I could never miss a chance, when it came to you,
I love you dear, from here to moon,
In every way, you make me swoon,
And I do so love this melody,
It is a serenade, for thee and me to see,
The love that grows within our hearts,
And will never be apart."
Strumming the last string, I stopped, and the memories of Artoria came to me again.
Scathach:" That was beautiful. I've never heard anyone play just like you did."
" Thank you, teacher."
We were sitting on the edge of the roof of the castle, and I was dangling my legs in the air as I relaxed from training.
As I heard Liz strumming the stings trying to mimic what I did , I only made it sound out of tune.
Chuckling, I heard Scathach speak.
Scathach:" That song was it for a woman?"
Turning to her, I answered.
" Yeah, two of them, in fact."
Scathach:" Ah! a harem, I see." She nodded.
" Yeah. I really miss them, especially since it's been many years since I've seen Mei."
Scathach:" Mei? Tell me more about her."
Looking at her and she looked at me, I turned my head back to Liz.
" Mei is a gentle woman, She's a great leader, someone who inspired many others against a tyrant, fighting for her people. I had the chance to fight with her. And Artoria, She's a king who puts the people's interest first. We both agreed to share each other's burdens. Sometimes, I feel like she's doing too much. I wish we could just escape and just go on adventures, just me, her, and Mei."
Scathach:" The feeling of love, huh? I thought you didn't have any interest in women as many men ogled my body. But I guess you're in love. Though I should warn you that love is a double edge weapon."
She said that last part seriously. Looking at her, I answered.
" You think I don't know that. I already know what fate lies ahead with Artoria, but I know we'll be together once more."
Scathach:" That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
" Have you ever fallen in love, Scathach?"
Scathach:" No, I kept everything professional, as I had my duties, and now I'm just waiting to die."
" I see. Love is a beautiful thing. Because it lasts for so long, yet people don't live long. That's what makes it so beautiful because their lives fade, but their love still burns bright throughout history."
Scathach:" I guess I could see your point. But it's still a waste of time."
" Then how about this. Three years, that's when we'll fight to the death. If I can't make you fall in love in that three year time period, I'll kill myself right then and there."
Scathach:" Sure, even if you kill yourself, I'll just wait for another thousand years."
" Then I Yuto Yamamoto solemnly swear to take my own life if Scathach doesn't fall I love within the three year time period of our duel."
I made an oath as I placed a hand on my heart, which created a rune that would punish me if I didn't complete the Oath there would be severe punishment.
Scathach:" You do realize you can't back out anymore, right?"
" I know, but seeing you so lonely in this place, I want to try to make you realize there's more to just dying."
Scathach:" Sigh, fine, but you'll have to hold or the deal. If you don't, your mana will be taken away."
" I'm sure I will."
After that conversation, Scathach continued to teach me.
My Spear was able to level up at a fast pace. I was able to get some help from Scathach on adding the space element to my spear.
I also didn't forget to train in my other weapons as well.
Scathach also taught me Primordial Runes.
[ Primordial Runes] [ Level 3 ]
[ Ansuz ] [ Level 2 ]
(Decription: Drawing this rune allows you to send a powerful fire magic with a hand gesture.)
Scathach:" Hm? you learned that one pretty quick, huh? Let's see if you could use it in battle."
I got my ass kicked once more.
