I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 303: Clue

Yasmin remained working here at their family's inn for the past few years. 

Aside from that, she had also become a two-star Hunter and was even given a chance to summon her own Arcana through the recommendation of the current branch leader.

She didn't think of leaving this place yet since her mother has gotten sick and someone has to take care of her If not, she's probably adventuring right now and perhaps, looking for her old friend who had forgotten to visit her.

"So, who are you looking for in this small village?" She asked the two beautiful ladies in front of her. 

It is uncommon for strong Arcanists to visit this village. The number of Evil Beasts here wasn't a lot and most of them were on the weaker side. It means that the two are most likely on a mission 

Anyway, the recruiters of other Knight Schools had also completed their task a few days ago. This means that they aren't here to look for talents as well. 

"Well In truth, we don't know their names." Stella smiled wryly as she started to describe the person or perhaps people that they are looking for.

"They should be someone who practices a unique sword art. Something that no other practitioners are practicing."

Stella said slowly as she took a bite of the food... The taste of the roasted rabbit meat really satisfies her.

"Unique sword art?" 

Yasmin already had an idea as soon as she heard this. Though she had seen many Hunters practicing some kind of unusual sword art, they weren't that unique and she can say that they are just modified versions of existing arts like the Northern Eclipse, Steady Sword, or even Fencing of the Dukedom.

'Should I tell them about this? What if they are bad people?'

Yasmin hesitated a little since Diether is a friend. Who knows whether these girls were actually hunting him due to some reason.

'Wait He's definitely not going to be a criminal. Ugh I should learn about their purpose first.' As soon as she made up her mind. She started probing them.

"I've seen many Hunters here using Sword Arts So I can't really tell whether they are unique or not. I'm not well versed in any sword techniques. Can you tell me more about them?"

"Ahh You're right. Anyway, I'm just looking for someone who practices sword art similar to mine. I want to meet my master who taught me about the sword art so they might have the clue to his current whereabouts."

Stella mentioned the truth which surprised Lyrei a little. But after thinking about it, there seems to be no harm in telling the truth since there's no point hiding it anyway. 

"Your master I understand now. I can name you a few of the sword practitioners here. Anyway, are you in a hurry?" Yasmin asked as she planned to investigate about these two ladies first. 

As much as she wants to share her knowledge about her friend, she's worried that it may just harm him instead. 

The two ladies then finished their meal before they went to their room to settle their things. They brought quite a lot of things for their journey after all.

Finally, they went outside to explore the village and see if they could find clues.

Of course, Yasmin did the same as she immediately went to the Arcanist Association. 

Though she's not officially a member of the Association as she first became a Hunter, she's still close to the officials here. The village isn't that big in the first place.

The population just increased due to the current season where tourists or some Hunters would start clearing up the Wailing Forest.

This is to control the number of Evil Beasts in the forest and avoid any more beast waves from happening.

"Hello, Sir Bachmann!" Yasmin greeted the middle-aged man who's currently cleaning his musket He has a long mustache and beard not too typical for an Arcanist. 

Lately, there has been a lot of gun-type Arcana that has been appearing within the kingdom. In truth, she also has a pistol Arcana with her that she received three years ago.

She was actually quite happy to receive such a popular Arcana. Well, she wasn't even expecting that she will receive an Arcana at the age of seventeen. After all, the optimal age to receive one is at the age of 12. 

Though it's not impossible to summon one in their later years, it would be extremely difficult for them. 

The man in front of her is the one who taught her all about the Arcana and the method to properly take care of them. 

"Yasmin Is there something wrong? You've rarely visited me"

"Ahh. Sorry about that, Sir Bachmann I'm here again to ask for your help."

"Haha! Don't mind it. So, tell me your concern. I'll do my best to help you. Just add more meat in my next order."

"Right I will!" Yasmin chucked as she explained her concern about the two female Arcanists

"Hmm Those two, we've noticed them as well. They seem to have come from the Dukedom. I was informed that they are just merchants or perhaps mercenaries. Nevertheless, they can't be soldiers of the Dukedom since they don't have the imprint of any of the Dukes."

"I see. It's fine as long as they are not criminals."

After asking a few more questions, Yasmin returned to the inn. It was exactly when the two ladies have also finished exploring the village for the day.

In the end, they asked Yasmin again since the people here apparently suggested that she knows more about the sword practitioners with unique sword art

"Haa~ I guess there's no harm telling you. Well, are you perhaps looking for another Kendo Practitioner?"

As soon as Yasmin said this, Stella was stunned as she had never thought that she would hear it here!

"Yes! That's right. Are you one of them? How did you know about it?!"

Stella excitedly asked which made the beautiful elf on the side smile in satisfaction. It has been a while since she saw her friend act like this.

It seems that she finally found a clue to find her master.
