The name of the silver-haired loli in front of me is Osterna...

...Yes, it's not a duplicate name or a pun with a similar pronunciation. This silver-haired loli is the real deal, the fifth generation hero, known as the "Sword Maiden"!

And here, it is the year 1803 in the New Calendar, more than two hundred years earlier than Li Wei's time in the New Calendar of 2022...

But this is not a time travel, or at least not true history...

...Because in true history, it is very clear that Osterna, the fifth generation hero, was a lone ranger who always acted alone as a hero, and never had any intimate relationships with any males.

If this is true time travel, then this record is very problematic.

Of course, the historical records also mention that Osterna is a well-endowed, tall and elegant lady. Li Wei thinks...this could be a beautification based on historical facts.

But if there is no record of such a living person, then there is a problem.

Moreover, this is not the "first time"...

Li Wei took the grilled meat that Osterna handed over and started to eat it voraciously. The scent of the freshly grilled meat was irresistible, even if it burnt his tongue, Li Wei couldn't stop eating.

Truly, this is a gaming experience at the level of a cheat code, the realism is off the charts!

Sitting next to him, Osterna watched Li Wei's eating manner silently, with her face turned to the side.

"What's wrong?" Li Wei noticed her gaze halfway through and asked in confusion.

"Nothing~ nothing~ It's just that Li Wei's way of eating is so cool that I can't help but stare~"

"Cough, cough..."

This straight-forward comment rendered Li Wei helpless, so he could only silently repeat in his mind...

...This is a game, this is a game, I haven't betrayed Clair, can I call it cheating with a paper-thin character?!

Then, he smiled and said, "Because the grilled meat made by Osterna is really delicious. Honestly, I can't imagine what would happen if I couldn't have it!"

"Haha, you're exaggerating, but no worries... After this disaster is over, we will retire together. By then, I'll cook for Li Wei every day. We'll be together, watching our children grow up, and eventually become grandparents together~"

Facing Osterna's bright outlook for the future, Li Wei's eating came to a halt and for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, showing a somewhat melancholic expression.

"?"

Observing his expression amidst her pleasant fantasies, the silver-haired loli couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Li Wei?"

"It's nothing..." Li Wei quickly waved his hand, "...I'm just worried about this battle. Honestly, the opponents are probably stronger than any enemy we've faced before!"

"Yes..."

As she spoke, the serious expression on the face of the silver-haired loli in front of him didn't match her appearance.

"The Disaster, after experiencing it, one can truly understand how extraordinary our predecessors were. My four hero seniors were able to repel this level of calamity..."

"The Disaster" mentioned by Osterna is a huge global catastrophe that appears every few hundred years in this world. Its specific manifestation involves spatial rifts appearing across the world, unleashing an endless wave of monsters that seem invincible.

These monsters are tireless, unafraid of death, and indiscriminately attack everything except other monsters.

Moreover, the monsters within the wave become stronger over time...

In the year 700 in the New Calendar, the first recorded occurrence of The Disaster almost brought the entire world to its destruction. In the critical moment, the first Generation hero, the "Enigmatic Girl" Alice, wielded the sacred sword and managed to fend off the monster wave and seal the spatial rifts.

However, that was just the beginning. After the first Generation hero Alice, in the year 952 in the New Calendar, the Great Devastation appeared again!

Almost the same development, the second Generation hero found the lost sacred sword of the first Generation hero Alice and saved the world.After that, came the third generation, the fourth generation...

Until now, in the year 1803 of the new calendar, a genius girl named Osterna, born into the prestigious "Four Seasons" Wilheim family of the imperial nobility, obtained the holy sword and became the new hero, known as the "Saintess of the Sword."

And now, the story of this girl saving the world begins!

With this in mind, Li Wei looked at the silver knight sword hanging from Osterna's waist. It was the "Holy Sword" that had been passed down from the first hero Alice through generations...

...However, Li Wei then looked at his own waist, where there was a pure black knight sword.

"I never would have expected..." Osterna looked at the sword at Li Wei's side, her tone filled with disbelief. "...There is not just one holy sword, but a pair! In addition to the holy sword held by the hero, there is also the existence of the 'Sword of Shadows'... Such an important matter, yet not a single word recorded in the historical records..."

In response to this, Li Wei could only smile apologetically. "Haha, perhaps there is a reason for it, but indeed, such an important matter... should not be forgotten~"

So is it possible that there was actually no Sword of Shadows in history at all? The so-called Sword of Shadows was only a fictional setting created by the system for Li Wei to play the game, thus conflicting with the real historical records?

Otherwise, as Osterna said, how could such an important matter not be recorded in the history books? It was not until Osterna found the holy sword through the trial and was told about it.

And conveniently, there was Li Wei by her side, helping her pass the trial and obtaining the qualification to inherit the Sword of Shadows. Isn't that a coincidence?

However, according to historical records, the first four generations of heroes remained single until death, and in their legends, there was no significant male presence by their side.

So, during their time, who was it that used the Sword of Shadows?

"Oh, how troublesome... I don't want to think about it..."

Osterna pounced and jumped directly into Li Wei's arms, startling him, causing him to quickly raise the skewered meat in his hand.

The girl in his arms purred like a little cat and rubbed against Li Wei's chest.

"I mean, the great battle is coming soon, right? Does that mean..."

"...So what if it's the great battle? Let me be a little wilful, it won't take away any meat! Do you know how uncomfortable I am all the time?"

"Yes, yes..."

Helpless, Li Wei could only let the girl in his arms hold onto his waist, rubbing it comfortably.

"Li Wei..."

"Yes?"

He lowered his head and met the beautiful ruby-like eyes of the girl in his arms...

"...I love you, we must always be together!"

"..."

Li Wei's mouth twitched, and then he composed himself and replied.

"...Hmm, of course, I love you too... Osterna!"
