Become A Side Character In The World Of The Novel I Read

The Voltar Sword is not just a magical artifact. It was a magical artifact sought by one of the 'White Gold Knight' heroine Sofia Helena Emma Marie Wilhelmina Van Oranje-Nassau. The sword she has been searching for, a magical artifact that is the weapon of the late great Dutch hero and also her late older brother who died in battle.

Of course, there will be consequences for taking relics from other countries. Even if one finds or buys the relic without knowing its background, then one should return the item instead of using it. Therefore, I at least have a precautionary preparation when facing something like this.

"Where did you get that sword?"

I had expected trouble when carrying this sword. Someone might find out about the sword and its origin so they would tell me to return it or I would be reported for stealing an important relic of another country.

And what was really a problem this time was that it was too soon and someone had noticed the sword.

The auditorium after the admission ceremony.

I had a conversation with one of the Heroine in an empty place, when everyone had left the auditorium.

Sofia's gaze pierced into me.

The look on his face showed he didn't seem to understand why this sword was in my hands.

"I got this sword from a legal auction a few years ago."

"From an auction? That doesn't make sense."

"If you don't believe me, you can look at the contents of this certificate. And if you still don't believe me, there are some documents that can be used as evidence."

I showed the certificate I had prepared. Fortunately, the documents and certificates from the auction are still stored and well preserved.

Sofia's eyes trembled as she read the Japanese and English certificates.

"This is genuine."

"Are you satisfied with my explanation?"

"The Voltar sword is a relic of my elder brother."

Even after showing the certificate Sofia did not move from her place.

"Hah! Really!"

A sigh escaped my mouth. I knew this was supposed to happen. Sofia wouldn't back down so easily, her personality is stubborn, if she backs down so easily then it's not a character that suits Sofia.

"So, what do you want?"

"For someone who doesn't have the qualifications. I can't entrust the sword to someone like you."

"Do you want to rely on the logic of who is powerful and who has the power to possess this sword?"

I crossed my arms and smiled.

"This is not about power logic," Sofia replied with a serious tone and face.

"I will test your worthiness to be the owner of the Voltar sword by dueling you."

"Then what if I refuse your duel?"

"Then, just like you said before. We can rely on the logic of power."

Sofia then closed her mouth after saying that.

My face contorted and I gritted my teeth.

Damn it. I probably have a pretty even strength with the protagonist, and so does Sofia. Yuji has equal strength with Sofia, but that's if Yuji is the one fighting. Unfortunately, what's inside his body is me who's still not used to fighting.

And if Sofia really relies on her power logic, a daughter and sister of an older brother who is a great hero. The certificate will only be a useless piece of paper, in the face of Sofia's power. And I might have to let go of Voltar's sword.

"What an unlucky day."

This really happened almost as I expected.

"What did you just say?"

Sofia asked with a puzzled face and tilted her head.

Let's take a deep breath, calm our minds and cool our heads. Let's think things through. Losing the Voltar sword is a loss, especially after all I went through to become its owner. And now someone wants to take that sword away from me. I'd better face him with his own duel.

"Alright. That's fine. A test isn't it? To see if I'm worthy of being the owner of this sword. I'm fine with that."

"Good. We'll have a fair duel."

"Wait a minute!"

"MM! What's up?"

"Just in case don't you expect me to win from you?"

"Win from me? I never expected you to win from me. I just thought if you could match my strength. I didn't expect more than that."

"Then what if I manage to beat you?"

"That won't be possible."

"What if it does?"

She showed a contemptuous expression at the question I kept asking.

In a cold voice, she said.

"If that unexpected event does come true. I will become your personal servant."

"Hey, you're not serious about it are you?"

"I'm not joking and I won't take back my words. And I can swear on the royal family's name."

The firm answer came back when I asked again.

Well, his confidence was not wrong considering he was a genius of his country. Truly a typical person of power and nobility who looks down on others. However, this trait was from her original setting, a girl with the best talent in her country. However, with an arrogant and stubborn nature. Some of these things make me dislike Sofia's character despite her attractive appearance. Well, at least the time to come her nature will slowly change for the better from her at the beginning of the story.

Let's return to the previous topic, if this is a duel between two inexperienced new students, Sofia is the best talent in the Netherlands.

There was a difference in fundamental talent between someone who worked hard with little talent and luckily obtained the Voltar sword.

She would not be able to bring out the full potential of the Voltar sword.

The girl must have thought this way.

However, that's not really the case.

It's none of my business anyway.

It's also none of my business if she throws out a clichéd line from a snobbish female character from a novel about becoming a servant if you lose a battle.

After all, no one could have guessed that this was the world of novels.

"I see."

I pulled Voltar from the scabbard on my belt.

With a cold sound, the glittering blade revealed itself.

Surprised, Sofia looked at Voltar.

"Let's get this over with as soon as possible."
