Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as the weakest Sword God

I spent the next ten minutes recounting my fight with the Fighting God, Eris's interest immediately returned and I could see that the others were engrossed by the story, even the moments ago dejected Nina seemed interested in the story I was telling them.

"So...you're the Fighting God now?!" Eris asked with visible enthusiasm.

"I don't know, me and Rudeus fought him and we both destroyed the armor, according to the rules for someone to claim the position they have to destroy the armor themselves" I explained.

"I see...but you said that you even killed Kallman III right? And he's seventh on the list, so is his position now empty or what?" Ghislaine asked.

"No...in that case the position would return to his father Kallman II" I replied.

"That's very confusing!" Eris complained.

"Yeah...I agree" I said with a smile.

"I think so... but now that I remember, in the room where my father kept his sacred swords there was a monument of the seven world powers... don't ask me how it got there" she said.

I could only arch an eyebrow at this while everyone looked at her.

"I-I see, I'll check on her later" I replied.

"Gino, I know you came back really fast, but isn't it risky to leave Princess Ariel alone?" Roxy asked.

"No, she has two competent bodyguards guarding her for the moment, all the people who could conspire against her have been eliminated, they'll be fine" I said with a smile.

They all smiled at this and so we returned to normal.

We had a quiet dinner and the five of us slept together.

...

Another week passed and life in the sacred land of the sword continued as if nothing had happened, I spent my days alternating between the dojo house while training Nina and Eris.

I had also gone to see the moment that Gull kept in his special room

It was nothing more than a formation of earth about forty centimeters high that was stuck in the ground.

But I could see that the stone was in a hole directly into the ground, in conclusion they had built this room and had avoided removing that monument.

But apart from that, there was nothing out of the ordinary, the ranks of the seven world powers seemed unchanged...or so I thought...

1st- Technique God Laplace

2nd- Dragon God Orsted

3rd- Sword God Gino Britzs

4th- Demon God Laplace

5th- Death God Randolf

6th- Peragius Dola

7th- Alek Kallman ll

Yes... I couldn't believe it and I ordered that this not be spread as much as possible.

I didn't even know how this had happened, perhaps the armor had chosen me as its victor since I defeated the wearer?...

Who knows, I'll never know.

But the fact is that I moved up three steps on the list and it's terrifying...

But I also found it curious that Peragius made it onto the list, I don't doubt that he is powerful enough even though his position is low, but still, I wonder if it was the same Technique God who did it or something, I may never know.

But other than that, there's nothing else to note so to speak...until my communication ring shines again, I guess I'll meet up with Orsted again.

...

It was afternoon so I told the saints to leave so I could meet up with Orsted, it wasn't dark yet so we had left early if we thought about it.

I walked quickly through the sacred land of the sword until I reached the forest and stayed near the cave, to my surprise Orsted was waiting inside it sitting on a stone

He looked at me for a few moments but then nodded to himself.

"Judging by your expression, I guess everything went well right?" He asked.

"You could say it was all a trick to provoke me," I said, sitting on another nearby stone.

"Hmm, that's good, plus I see your rank in the world powers has also grown" he muttered.

"Don't even mention it, this will only attract more stupid outsiders who will come to challenge me" I grumbled.

"Yes, it is possible, but we are not here to talk about that, in your absence Rudeus and the others worked to establish Ariel on the throne, now it is simply a matter of time to wait for the death of the king so she can claim the throne" Orsted explained in a cold voice.

"I see...and when would that be?" I asked.

"In about a year and a half, Ariel's coronation would be six months after the king's death, and he would have to mourn," he replied.

"So two years...and what are we going to do in that time?" I asked.

"Believe it or not, there's not much to do. Hitogami bet everything on invading the castle, even bringing the Fighting God there. There's no one else willing to help him." Orsted said with a sadistic smile that made my hair stand on end.

"Okay, so I'll see you again in two years, right?" I asked.

"Yes, but I will call you occasionally for small missions if Rudeus is not available" Orsted said.

"Very well, in that case I'll see you later" I said.

He nodded and so we said goodbye to each other until I lost sight of him.

...

And so in the blink of an eye, another two years passed and I turned 19.

Many things happened in those two years, the highlight being that for three months many wandering swordsmen tried to challenge me upon seeing that I claimed the third place in the world powers.

But most were defeated by Nina or Eris so it wasn't a big deal.

Also speaking of Nina, she became a sword emperor four months ago after finally defeating Eris in a sword duel.

However, Eris still became Sword Emperor two months after Nina, It seemed like the two had their rivalry intact, but they had already relaxed a bit because they had reached the limits of their respective talents.

How my Dragon Phoenix sword broke in the fight against Badigadi, I started using my father's Tsukikage sword.

And speaking of him...shortly after things returned to normal at the dojo I went to see Mom, and told her everything that had happened.

She was obviously devastated but she expected it because she had been resentful towards me ever since they left the dojo, but other than that, I convinced Mom to come back to the sacred land of the sword.

And fortunately she listened to me and returned home with my younger brother.

Sometimes I go to visit them, but most of the time it's Mom who does it.

Life had been good, and it's true that I had relaxed a bit, although you can't blame me, I had practically gotten rid of all the people who were willing to help Hitogami...

But there were also many tragedies

And one of them was the Superd village, where that fucking Alek killed them all in cold blood.

"an unexpected act" was how Orsted called it, we don't know if Ruigerd was there or not, but that doesn't matter anymore... the Superds are practically extinct now...

Obviously the most affected by all this was Rudeus since he had promised Ruigerd to improve the reputation of his race which is now practically impossible.

But apart from that terrible incident, nothing bad happened to my family.

Which brings us to today, it was mid-summer of the year K427 and a letter arrived at my house in the morning when I was in the dojo.

So Ghislaine personally came to the dojo for me to read it.

"Dear, you received a letter" she said.

"Thank you very much" I said with a smile as I received the letter.

The letter had the seal of the Asuran nobility in red wax and the dates already gave me an idea of what it would be like.

So with my sword I opened the envelope and took out the contents of the letter.

"Dear Sword God Gino Britzs, I, Princess Ariel Anemoi Asura, am contacting you through this medium to extend a cordial invitation to you, your wives and children to be part of the ceremony of my coronation as Legitimate Queen of Asura, I know you have unusual methods of transportation so don't worry, the ceremony will be in a week and I sincerely hope you will attend"

That was the content of the letter, I suppose it was one of his ways of thanking me for my work, right?...

And I didn't even say goodbye that day if I remember correctly, maybe she wanted to reward him in some way for my services.

And in fact I had to attend to show that Ariel had powerful supporters.

That was what I thought about for the rest of the day and so when night came I took the news to my wives.

"Asura are you talking about? It doesn't bother me, I want to go" Roxy said

"Hmm, I've never been there, but it will be interesting, I want to go too" Ghislaine said.

"I don't know... I've never left here, but if the others want to go then I have no choice" Nina said.

"Hmm... sounds fun... and Isolte is there, right? I want to talk to her!" Eris said excitedly.

Oh yes...Isolte, I had even forgotten about her, that time I promised to talk to her later, but between the desperation for my family and for having killed Reída I didn't consider it.

I guess this is also an opportunity to apologize...

It wasn't very difficult to convince my children, Reinolds was the one who was most enthusiastic about the matter, Romira only accepted when I promised her that I wouldn't separate from her...how cute!!!

Ars and Farid simply didn't care as long as their parents were with them...

So after a couple of preparations I left Donald in charge of the dojo during our absence, and with all that I left with my family towards the royal capital Ars.

...

The main street of Ars, the capital of the kingdom of Asura, was absolutely flooded with people, so much so that the slightest sway to either side would force you to bump shoulders with someone, so many that you couldn't see more than a couple of meters ahead.

Ariel's coronation had attracted people from all over the world, all with the simple purpose of seeing Princess Ariel and we were no exception, I was dressed in an elegant brown jacket with my father Tsukikage's sword at my waist with a gold-plated sheath...

Behind me were my wives all in dresses and carrying my children in their arms, the reason I was ahead was simply because I knew the way to the palace, since we had arrived thanks to Peragius.

"Incredibleeeeee!!" Nina murmured as she looked around, now that I think about it, it's the first time she's surrounded by so many people, so it's only natural, Eris was holding her arm while everyone followed me, it seemed like we were walking in single file through the crowd.

That was until we reached the noble district, when a finely decorated carriage blocked our way and Ellemoi got out.

"Lord God Sword... it's been a long time" she murmured with a bow.

"Yes, but call me Gino, I'm not a noble like you" I said with a smile.

"I see, are those your wives?" she asked looking behind me.

"Yes, and those are my children" I said while carrying Romira.

"I see, please get into the carriage, Queen Ariel is waiting for you" she said as she got back into the carriage.

We did as she asked and transported ourselves to the castle.

From what I could see, the part of the ballroom that was destroyed two years ago was already repaired and now it's as if nothing had happened which was good.

Ellemoi took us to Ariel's residence where some butlers were waiting for us outside.

"Please stay here, Queen Ariel will see you in a few hours" she said so we got out of the carriage and entered the mansion.

It was just as I remembered it and I think this would also be a gesture of gratitude from Ariel towards us.

So for the moment we relaxed in the place until late afternoon Ariel and Luke arrived at the place.

I immediately nodded to my wives and we all gave a slight bow to Ariel.

"Gino... I'm very glad to see that you're okay, and I guess these are your wives right?" Ariel said as she looked at the women behind her.

"Yeah, sorry for leaving that time without warning, you see what happened was..." and so I explained to Ariel everything that happened that day and why I came home unexpectedly.

"I see...that could have been unfortunate indeed, but I'm glad everything went well, but well, my coronation is tomorrow, you are all honored guests, I'll wait for you at the silver palace" she said with a smile.

"Yes we will be there...and is his majesty, Rudeus here?" I murmured

"Ha...yes, he's with Sylphie at the palace why do you ask?" she murmured.

"You're welcome...thank you very much Ariel" I said with a smile.

"Heh, yes, see you later" she replied and left the mansion.

But when I turned behind me, Roxy and Nina were pouting.

"...is something wrong?" I asked.

"That way of talking to her...you seemed very close, you didn't fuck her or did you?" Nina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Eh no, and it hurts me that you don't trust me" I complained

"She is very beautiful indeed...I wouldn't be surprised coming from you" Roxy murmured.

At this I simply shrugged and let myself fall on one of the mansion's couches while the butlers prepared dinner.

It would be a long night...
