"Lord, I want to work.
Magic Sword Leggy said something weird in human form, so I made him sit on the bed anyway.
''You, what did you say?''
I said I wanted to work.
The humanoid Leggy sits on the edge of the bed with his knees together, a magical sword that has lived a hundred years, but his body is smaller than Iris'. He wears a loose-fitting white robe and swings his hair in his favorite twin-tails.
The way he looks like this is completely human, but I don't really know what this guy is thinking.
We didn't have much serious talk or anything. That's why he was so hot to talk about.
"I want to work, but aren't you always working?
Since I came to Ilgafa, I've been busting golems and busting serpents.
You've served as a sword, haven't you?
"That's not what I mean. I just want to do the same job as the other little girls.
Reggie's big black eyes widened and he popped his arm.
'Oh, I see. But why all of a sudden?'
I was always treated as a treasure. I rarely went out of the house. If I don't do this, I'll end my life with a sword that doesn't belong to the world.
"A naive demon sword.
That's a magic sword in a sheath, not in a box.
That's because it's too dangerous to be exposed.
It's sharp, it regenerates, and it's very powerful.
"Anyway, since you are now a slave, let me do something, Lord.
Reggie lay down on the bed and jerked around.
Sheathed and boxed, but a spoiled magic sword is rare.
''I see your point,''
You understand. That's my good Lord.
'You mean you want to have a normal life before they put you back in the treasury once you're in the hands of another owner?
'No, although I'm willing to throw myself into the sea to follow my Lord when he dies anyway.
It's heavy! I mean, don't let the demon sword kill itself!
It's no use. The mental control magic sword has been turned into a slime-controlled magic sword. Now I'm just a surprise item. How can I become anything but a master now?
That's weak, when you put it that way.
I downgraded this guy, even if it was to avoid mental control.
'All right. I'll ask the guys if there's a job Leggy can do.
Yay.
Reggie jumps up and down, shaking his twin-tailed hair.
You've been alive for almost a hundred years, but this is the kind of thing that makes you a child, this guy.
'Well then, can you go to the market and get me some fish?
Aine was in the kitchen washing dishes.
The port city of Ilgafa has a well-developed water network, and fresh water comes out when you operate a pump. This is fed by a water supply system that runs underground and is apparently managed by engineers and wizards.
'I could help you wash up, if you'd like.
Mr. Reggie, have you ever done this before?
I've never done it before, but I'll take it! I am the magic sword of doom and destruction!
...... I'm going to ask you to run an errand after all.
Inexplicable.
Of course. What kind of person leaves a scary thing to the magic sword of destruction?
Reggie still looked unhappy, but Aine went through it with her usual fluffy smile.
She wiped her hands on her apron and then took out three silver coins from her purse on the shelf.
'I heard fish is cheaper in Ilgafa than meat. We need to eat something nutritious before the trip. There are enough for six people. Please make sure it's fresh. Can you do that, Mr. Reggie?
'Ha! What do you say, maidservant? I am a magic sword that has lived for a hundred years. Fresh is as good as buying fish!
Leggy looked at me with a plump chest.
'Come on, Lord! Now install the 'Skill to tell the freshness of fish' on me!
"Te.
petticoat
I chop Reggie in the navel.
"That's way over your budget for a skill like that. How much do you plan to spend on a meal?
I have a mission to accomplish. This is the cost of doing so, isn't it?
There is no such pinpoint skill to begin with.
...... No, there may be one. It's too expensive to pay for dinner requirements.
'You know what, Reggie? The fish is fresh with a black eye and a glossy one, you know? Also, choose one with a tight fin. Also choose one with nice gills.
That's Aine.
He squats down, looks Reggie in the eye, and gives him sound advice.
'Ilgafa is a port town, so if you go to the market, you should be able to find something that was caught this morning. You should avoid the shops that sell things that make your eyes white and your body wobbly. Please don't forget that the food is for your precious Nee-kun.
I get it! Then, my Lord, let's go.
Reggie grabbed my hand.
"Me?
It is natural. I am never far from my body.
That was it.
The red-haired Leggy in front of me, in the form of a girl, was like an avatar made of magic power, and the main body was a black magic sword, I remember. Naturally, you can't leave the main body. So, in order to go out, someone would have to carry the magic sword around with them.
So naturally, that means it's my job.
''Alright. I have something I want to see in the market too, and I'll accompany you.
If you're going out there, you're going to need a bodyguard.
'Ha! What do you say, maidservant? I am a magic sword that has lived for a hundred years. I won't even bother to guard you, Lord!
It's a good idea. If you're alone, I'd be worried about you, Nah-kun, but if you're with Reggie, you'll be safe: ...... Huh?
Aine, you're cheating.
The humanoid leggy doesn't have any fighting power, so it's no different than me being alone in the first place.
But ...... Well, it's okay. We're just going to the market, so there's no danger.
"Don't worry, maid girl. I promise you. I will bring back fresh fish on the honor of the Devil's Sword Leggy. Otherwise, you can boil me, roast me, sell me, or do whatever you want with me.
That's why.
I was to go on an errand with Reggie.
...... no fish?
With a pop, the backpack fell off Leggy's back.
This is a part of the market.
I had just come to a store that buys fish directly from the fishermen, after hearing about it from the townspeople.
But the store was empty. Not a single fish on hand.
The lady was just scratching her head in front of the store, looking bored.
Oh, they didn't have a boat today," she said. There's dried fish in the back, though.
All right, all right. Let's get you home.
"What are you talking about, Lord!
Kneeled stiffly on the ground, Reggie shouted out.
What are you doing in the store?
I've been given my first daily mission, but how can I fail to fulfill it?
I don't care what they don't sell.
There are fish in the sea. Why don't you go out and get some?
Standing on his toes, he spun around and spun around, and Reggie pointed to the sea.
I've been in the royal palace for a while now, so apparently that's why this guy sometimes makes theatrical movements. I'm sure he knows how to behave, manners and all that. The problem is that he's not very well versed in the ways of the world.
"I dive. I'll dive, grab a fish. I'll dive, I'll grab the fish, I'll deliver it to the Lord. Isn't that perfect?
Do you float on water?
I don't know, I've never done it before!
Leggy declares with pride.
The main body of this thing is the magic sword I carry on my back. The humanoid leggy and the magic sword are connected, and it seems that they affect each other. So it's unclear whether it will float or sink. But I dismiss it because I don't want it to rust.
'In the first place, there's no way you can catch fish that easily. It costs a lot of money and time to get the right gear. Give it up for today.
Oh, why don't you go to the beach then?
Suddenly, the fishmonger's aunt said.
She looked into Reggie's face as he fell to his knees on the ground with a gut feeling of worry.
'You must be a slave if you're wearing a collar, little girl. It's a long story, isn't it?
I am a ............ slave and I must do my duty.
No, because it's not that great.
Why are you being so realistic and tragic, you.
It's just an errand boy. Your life isn't in danger, is it?
If we can't buy ...... fish, our plans to complete our ...... mission and look back at the other slaves will be ruined.
Is that your plan?
Yes," he said. It was a super far-reaching plan that they would be inspired to be of service to the Lord, and that they would be able to attack the other girls and watch them sneak into the Lord's bedchamber with a smirk on their faces. ......
All right. We'll leave now. I need to talk to you.
I picked up Reggie. We'll take him home anyway.
"I don't know about that. I know where your loyalty lies, and I'm impressed with your little one. I'm impressed for such a small guy.
But the fishmonger's aunt looked at Leggy with a twinkle in her eye for some reason.
'Well, then,' she said, 'you should go to the west beach. I'm sure our fools and the other fishermen are there. You should go and talk to them. If you're lucky, you might get some fine fish.
An expensive fish?
And it's called "Swordfish.
Swordfish...... I've heard of it.
As I recall, Iris told me that the Lord's family's meals are served with pickled vinegar.
'This happens sometimes after the Festival of the Sea Dragons,' he said. "Sometimes after the 'Sea Dragon Festival'," he said, "there's an event where the fish can't be found off the coast and the coast is flooded with fish of the highest quality. If you're good at it, you should go. If you give them my name, they'll probably give you one of these fish.
'Nuh-uh, Lord!'
Leggy tugged on my arm.
This is a good opportunity. The other slaves will be impressed by the fact that you brought back a freshly caught fish from your first outing, and they will be able to see that you have lived a hundred years as a magic sword.
I don't care what your plan is, but ...... yeah, I get it.
A superior fish. I've never eaten anything like that.
In my former world, I lived in a country that ate a lot of fish. The most common fish I ate was the fried white fish on my lunchbox rice. And then some loosened fish in a rice ball, for example.
We were in a port town, so we wanted to eat fresh fish.
Then let's go to the beach.
You're my master, and you know how to talk!
Leggy jumps up and down on me with a whimper.
He pats her tiny head and squints at her in a pleasant way.
You should have done this all the time.
So we asked the fishmonger for the exact location, and Leggy and I headed for the beach.
We were walking down the street by the sea and we saw the beach.
It's about an hour's walk away from Central Avenue. There are hardly any houses up here, and the road is rocky around the road. Along the rocky shore as steep as the embankment, there is just a small sandy beach.
In the original world, it's about a two-lane road.
That's where a group of burly men gather, pounding the surface of the sea with their poles.
That's odd for a fisherman ....... They're all wearing armor.
The nets are on the beach, but they aren't catching fish. It looks like a ritual of some kind.
"What's that, an Irgaffa religious ceremony?
The festival is over, is it not? Another dragon is coming, perhaps.
The lady in the fishmonger's shop said that the fishermen were catching fine fish.
But there was no fish in sight. Just a net on the beach.
"Aw, isn't that the adventurer from before?
I heard a voice.
There was a man in armor underneath the rocky ground.
It was the captain of a regular soldier, wearing a horned helmet. His name was Darus, I believe.
'It's been a long time. It's been a long time since the Sea Dragon Festival. Will you be awake any longer?
...... I don't have much left of that time.
Awakening or ...... I remember saying something like that.
It's a temporary dream for adventurers that comes only during the festival. Before the festival changed its appearance, the sea dragon must have demonstrated its power ......
How can you keep popping out so many? Lord.
Reggie looks at me like he's dumbfounded. It's annoying.
I'm sure it's a blessing from the sea dragon. I'm sure you're right. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea.
The captain of the regulars nodded at me.
If you look closely, you'll see regular soldiers in armor lined up on the rocky ground. There are more than a dozen of them. They all carry large shields.
'So, why are you here? If you wish to join the regular army?
No, sir.
It's not possible. I don't want to be formally asked to work. I mean, I don't want to work.
'No, no, you don't have to. I'll write you a letter of introduction if you want. A regular soldier is a regular employee of the lord's family, so you have the benefit of social credit, right? It's a very rewarding place to work. For some reason, newcomers don't stick around, but it's family friendly, and as long as you fit in, you'll have no problem continuing to work there. What do you think?
I'm not interested in that at all.
I shook my head, and the captain of the regulars slumped his shoulders in disappointment.
'We just came to buy some fish from the fishermen.
Yeah. Where's the finest fish in the world?
...... and you guys too?
For some reason, the captain of the regular soldiers looks disgusted.
We've been told to refrain from the 'Swordfish' fishing method, and yet at this time of year, the fishermen gather here. And the adventurers. I know they want to make a little money, but I wish they would stop this.
Can you sell it for that much?
Yeah, 'Swordfish' is a very difficult fish to catch.
The captain of the regular soldier looked heartily uncomfortable as he explained the prey the fisherman was after.
''Swordfish.
A large fish with a double-edged sword on its head.
''It has 'swordfighting' skills.
It has large fins and swims at high speed. It can also fly over a distance of more than ten meters by hitting the surface of the water with its fins.
It has a rough temper and will not be silenced when provoked. It has a habit of trying to destroy its enemies in groups.
Its meat is rich in umami and highly nutritious.
However, the problem is that it doesn't keep for a long time. The meat soon goes bad.
The sword is its kryptonite, and if it is broken or damaged, it will quickly rot.
For this reason, it is terribly difficult to catch and is considered a high-class fish. The price of a fresh one is from five to ten pieces of silver'
...... So that's how the fishermen provoke the 'Swordfish'. Large schools of them come here every year after the Sea Dragon Festival.
Apparently it wasn't a religious ceremony, but a traditional Ilgafa fishing method.
'It's the job of the regulars to protect their people, and we must go out of our way to help them.
'You need help with the regulars? Even though it's a fish?
You'll know it when you see it: ...... here it comes.
The surface of the water rippled.
The sea begins to glow silver in the sunlight.
The fishermen who had been beating the sea on the beach retreated to the beach.
The fishermen grabbed their fishing nets from the beach and spread them out in the air. It was like trying to catch a bird. But now we're going to start catching fish.
"Get out of the way of the fishermen! Hide in that rocky area over there!
The captain of the regulars points to a rocky corner, so I pick up Reggie and run.
It's a rocky hollow, with a small sandy beach, but isolated from the rest.
Me and Reggie jump into it at the same time as a silvery thing jumps out of the water.
A violent water noise and a high-pitched scream begins to echo behind us.
Reggie and I poked our heads out from behind a rock and looked in the direction of the fishermen. That place is...
'Ggaaaaaaahhhh!'
'Bollocks! I'm going to go for the carotid artery this year!
'Is it because the tide has changed due to the appearance of the sea dragon! It's even got wisdom!
No metal nets!
'Baka! Don't take it in your armor! If you smash his head in, you won't get anything out of him!
...... It was a shura.
What emerged from the sea was a school of silvery fish that flew to the ground with the force of a bullet.
That's the "Swordfish" ...... shape resembles a marlin tuna.
But its appearance, wearing a sword on its head and flying through the air, is truly a flying deadly weapon.
Its size is around one meter. If you put the sword on its head, it's about the same size as Leggy.
And there are more than a dozen of them.
All at once, it's attacking the fishermen on the beach. They seem to be furious because the fishermen have provoked them by hitting the surface of the sea.
The Swordfish hits the surface of the water with its long fins and jumps. It jumps on the fishermen with its long fins. It looks like a large flying fish. The fishermen hold up their nets - but they've torn them open. Swordfish use their head swords to cut through the glistening net. Fishnets aren't going to stop their swords. They're too strong for fish.
And the Swordfish, having broken the net, rushed forward and crashed into the rocks.
The sword fishes broke their swords and snapped their heads off. The fish with the broken sword is rotting away in a cloud of steam. The sword is made of something like pottery, and it's its greatest weapon and weakest point, I thought. It concentrates nutrients and nerves, or something like that.
I see, this is what you mean by a high quality fish that is rarely caught.
The goal of the fisherman is to catch the swordfish unharmed, but ...... the net will be cut, and if you try to catch it by hand, the sword will stab you, and the stabbed sword will break and the fish will soon rot. However, if you avoid the attack, the swordfish hits the rocky ground and blows itself up. The sword breaks and the fish rots easily.
You'd have to have the same fighting ability as Rita to catch that thing unharmed. ...... That thing.
'This is it, fishermen! Get away from the sand...!
The captain of the regular soldiers shouts and the soldiers come down to the beach.
It's like a tidal wave.
The fishermen are all wounded. Their arms and legs are bleeding.
The soldiers hold up shields to protect the injured fishermen. The Swordfish hit the shield and are crushed, squishy, squishy. ...... It's a waste of time.
''This year's 'Swordfish' fishery is over! You can give up and go back home!
It's not a good idea. It's not good this year either.
The fishermen left with the regulars, and
After a while, the schools of swordfish disappeared...
The beach regained its serenity.
'You mean to say that my errand is a failure?
That's it. Give it up, Reggie.
There are dead swordfish lying on the sandy beach. Every single one of them is dead with a sword broken in the head because they jumped out of the water with such force. Its eyes were pure white. Its gills were a dark red color. Its belly was swollen. Its fins were limp and twisted, and in addition, its body was emitting an inexplicable amount of steam.
The one that hit the fisherman, the one that hit the rocky shore, and the one that hit the shield of a regular soldier.
This is the one that Aine will be mad at if I bring it back: .......
'I wonder what it tastes like, Swordfish?
They say the regulars are the best with the sword in their heads.
I hear it's got a lot of fat on it.
He said it was hard and tasty. He also said it was firm and tasty.
Aine could make sashimi for you, too.
What is 'Sasimi'?
It's all about cutting up the raw fish and eating it raw. But it's before the trip. I'm afraid of food poisoning, so I don't want to eat sashimi. Grilled or boiled fish is the safest choice.
I don't know about you, but would you have made the other slaves respect you by taking the Swordfish and going home?
Maybe. I've always wanted to try some of that otherworldly fine fish.
"Yes, it's shameful that I can't fulfill my Lord's wishes!
horse's heart
Leggy hit the water with a pole that the fishermen had left behind.
Bashin, bash, bash, bash.
'Don't do it. What if the herd comes again?
Wouldn't it be better if the Lord caught it?
It's not possible for me to...
The Swordfish is a sword with a head. It's hard and brittle.
To catch it, you must incapacitate it without breaking it.
Not with a net. Not even a shield. You might be able to catch them with magic, but they'd lose their flavor.
In other words, if you want to capture them for food, you need to incapacitate them without breaking the sword...
...... Huh?
I feel like I could do .............
I should have realized this sooner.
I see, me and Reggie's skills would have caught those guys: .......
What a waste. I guess I'll have to postpone the experiment until the next school of swordfish comes along.
"My Lord.
Hmm?
The second wave is here.
Baba, Babaji.
Leggy was waist-deep in water, desperately pounding the surface.
Beyond that, a silvery fin sways a few dozen meters from the edge of the waves.
Peering out of the water was a silver sword.
It was definitely a school of swordfish.
I remember a fisherman saying earlier that the tide had changed due to the appearance of the sea dragon.
Apparently that's why a second flock has arrived.
They're few in number, but they're firmly caught up in Leggy's provocation.
''Yoroshiku no ya-tachi!
I grabbed Reggie's collar, which was spread out with both hands as if to say, "Dokkoi," and I grabbed him by the collar.
I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.
"What are you doing, Nushi-sama?
Leggy rolled around on the beach and got up covered in sand.
'That's the line over here. 'You're going to die.'
This body is a magical creation of a freak. Even if it falls apart, as long as the body is still alive, it will regenerate in 10 years or so!
That doesn't help.
What's more important, a fish or a slave's body?
Let's face it, a slave is the common denominator.
It can't be helped.
I've heard that Reggie is planning to fulfill the errand Aine gave him, so I'll help him out a bit as master.
I want to see if my skills are useful in catching fish.
'You have no complaints about bringing home a fine fish.
That's not all. I have a responsibility to help you.
All right. So help me out.
I pulled out the magic sword leggy on my back.
"Wait in the back, Leggy. I'll use your body to catch a fine fish.
...... Lord.
Reggie, sitting flat on the sandy beach, watches me blankly.
All the fishermen and regulars have gone home and the place is deserted.
"And I'd like to taste some of the finest fish in the world, too.
I raise my magic sword - a fish, comes.
The swordfish, which was swimming in the battle, hits the surface of the water with its huge fins. The water bounces. The silver-colored fish body floats up in the air. These guys are large flying fish. And they're also highly intelligent. Their angle and speed are perfect, and they aim for my heart area.
But because of that, their movements are easy to read.
"Fire in the hole! ''Jiu-Sui Sword Art Lv 1!''
Shurm.
The sword blade of the Magic Sword Reggie received the sword of the Swordfish's head.
It deflected the enemy's linear assault upward.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
And then, with a whimper, he fell headfirst into the sand.
I'm gonna have to do it again!
Sticking vertically in the sand, the Swordfish is struggling to move its fins.
But the sword is completely stuck in the sand. It's stuck. The Swordfish was beating the air with its fins for a while, but it got stronger, or maybe it just stopped moving, with a thud.
The sand caught the sword in its head. The fish's body was unscathed.
Its eyes are black. The scales are glossy. The gills are bright red.
It was an ideal fish to have for dinner.
"Oh, oh. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Nuh, Lord, wow!
"Leggy, put it in the bag. When he's completely immobile, put the sword up.
Yes, sir! I understand!
Next comes. Swordfish's aim is accurate and has no hesitation.
I timed my timing and activated my "Juju Sui Kenjutsu". I'll be able to repel their assault.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle!
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
The fish spins in the air, falls off - and then repeats.
Swordfish with their heads down line the sandy beach. It's just like a silver plant.
"Juusui Swordsmanship Lv 1
It can pass off enemy swords' attacks in general like water.
I didn't think it could be used for catching fish.
There are eight Swordfish stuck in the sandy beach. Enough for a party of six.
I swing my sword five times into the ocean. It's just a threat.
If this doesn't stop, I was planning to threaten them by making the sword huge with "Delayed Martial Arts", but...
hurriedly and with a splash.
The school of fishes stopped at the edge of the surf, as if they sensed something was wrong.
I thought they were looking at me with their swords sticking out of the surface of the water, but then - with a whirl, they turned their bodies over and went away.
That's good.
There's no more fish to catch, you know.
Lord, we've got a lot of fish to catch.
Leggy is running around on the beach.
The Swordfish are gasping for air with their gills fluttering. They don't seem to have the strength to swing their swords anymore.
Leggy stuffs it into his backpack, and the tip of the sword sticks out of the bag.
Holding it in our arms, we decided to return home to avoid attracting too much attention.
''Hmph. That completes the errand quest perfectly.
Leggy smiled wryly as he held his backpack in his hands.
The maidservant will be surprised at the power of me and my Lord. You'll have to wait and see what he looks like. Fuhahahahahahahahaha!
"Why do you two smell like fish?
She surprised us.
When we got home, Aine handed us a cloth to wipe our bodies with and said, "You're both going to have to go to the bathroom before you go inside.
You both need to take a bath before you go inside.
The baths at home take a long time to heat up.
So me and Reggie had to go to the bath house in town.
On the way there, we stopped at the fishmonger's shop from earlier and gave the lady one swordfish as an information piece.
I pretended to catch one fish that wandered in after the fishermen had left.
The lady was surprised, but said it was "too expensive for the amount of information", so she gave me a silver coin. Together with the funds from the errand Aine gave me, it was 4 arsha. It was enough money for a private bath in a bathhouse.
And so.
...... Huh." "Hmmm. Kuh-uh.
The Leggy and I had our backs to each other, and we were going to soak in the bathtub.
The human form of Leggy and the main body of the magic sword were inextricably linked, and if the human form of Leggy's body was cleaned, the dirt on the magic sword would also be removed. Of course, you'll need to wipe the sword clean of moisture later, though.
...... I don't know if it's convenient or inconvenient.
I'm not sure if it's the same as having a bath or not. It's a pleasant one.
What's going on with your senses? Leggy.
Pay the job properly.
I made the bath a waste of money for Leggy because this guy can't eat.
It's a shame he can't taste the fish he's just caught, so he said he'd like to at least take a bath.
'I have no taste buds. But it's strange to me that a bath feels so good.
That's easy. A sword has no mouth. But when it's clean and polished, it feels good.
That's the way it is.
It's not like that.
If that's the way it is, I can't help it.
Reggie's height is shorter than Cecil's. Her head is below my shoulders. Her wet red hair swishes in the water. Her white skin is pink and upturned, and she moves like she's breathing normally. It looks the same as a human. It's a mysterious magic sword. It's a good idea.
"Thank you, Lord.
What?
You showed me the first time.
Reggie held up his hand so that I could see it. Then he broke his fingers and started counting things.
'I've been taught the joy of being dominated. I was taught the functions of a girl's body. I was given a new name. I was allowed to be on the Lord's side at all times and to fight with him. I was given a fellow slave as an equal. And this time, I was taught what it feels like to use and bathe. That's amazing, Lord. There are so many firsts.
I see. You've been hidden away as a treasure all these years, haven't you?
'Right. Yes, when it was in the hands of the king, it was in the depths of the castle as a treasure. Otherwise, it was hated as a magical sword of destruction that could wander the maze.
That's because you use the Lucky Skeletor curse.
I am what I was made to be, so what can I do? Complain to the one who summoned me from the other world.
...... what did you think your role was?
I had no right to choose. The sword is for slaying the enemy. The same is true of my manipulative skills. It's just one of the functions it must perform.
Reggie sipped the hot water with the palm of his hand and dropped it with a chirp.
As if to confirm each and every sensation.
Leggy's eyes in the steam looked like he was about to cry.
But now I regret it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about ...... if you've met the Lord earlier. It's a good idea to have the Lord use up all of me as an atonement.
Reggie turned and looked at me over his shoulder.
I suppose that's about all I can wish for. Alright, Lord.
I need you, Leggy.
The only person who can withstand the biggest offensive skill 'Delayed Combat' is Magic Sword Leggy.
His knowledge is sometimes useful.
And there's no doubt that Leggy is a member of the party.
''As long as I'm alive, you'll be working alongside me. But I don't want you to work in black, so I'll give you what you want as much as I can. That's the least I can do for you.
I don't want much. That's good enough for me.
When I'm gone, you can do what you want. I don't have to chase you.
'All right. Then I'll spend the rest of my life telling the Lord's children about His tsundere in life.
...... I knew I could go after him.
What does this guy have to say after I'm dead?
Chapu.
Behind me, I felt Reggie stand up.
A small hand touched my shoulder.
''It can't be helped. Demon swords can't produce any offspring.
Instead of retelling stories about the Lord. If you want him to stop, let him get rid of me!
Don't be ridiculous.
I had to chuckle at this guy's bullshit.
Behind me, I could see that Reggie was laughing too, holding his throat.
After that, there's not much more to say.
We quickly got out of the bath and decided to go home.
Incidentally, the "sauteed swordfish" that Aine made for dinner was so delicious that I was speechless.
Leggy stood on a chair and struck a mysterious pose with a smug look on his face, to the applause of his fellow slaves.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Lord, I want to work.
Magic Sword Leggy said something weird in human form, so I made him sit on the bed anyway.
''You, what did you say?''
I said I wanted to work.
The humanoid Leggy sits on the edge of the bed with his knees together, a magical sword that has lived a hundred years, but his body is smaller than Iris'. He wears a loose-fitting white robe and swings his hair in his favorite twin-tails.
The way he looks like this is completely human, but I don't really know what this guy is thinking.
We didn't have much serious talk or anything. That's why he was so hot to talk about.
"I want to work, but aren't you always working?
Since I came to Ilgafa, I've been busting golems and busting serpents.
You've served as a sword, haven't you?
"That's not what I mean. I just want to do the same job as the other little girls.
Reggie's big black eyes widened and he popped his arm.
'Oh, I see. But why all of a sudden?'
I was always treated as a treasure. I rarely went out of the house. If I don't do this, I'll end my life with a sword that doesn't belong to the world.
"A naive demon sword.
That's a magic sword in a sheath, not in a box.
That's because it's too dangerous to be exposed.
It's sharp, it regenerates, and it's very powerful.
"Anyway, since you are now a slave, let me do something, Lord.
Reggie lay down on the bed and jerked around.
Sheathed and boxed, but a spoiled magic sword is rare.
''I see your point,''
You understand. That's my good Lord.
'You mean you want to have a normal life before they put you back in the treasury once you're in the hands of another owner?
'No, although I'm willing to throw myself into the sea to follow my Lord when he dies anyway.
It's heavy! I mean, don't let the demon sword kill itself!
It's no use. The mental control magic sword has been turned into a slime-controlled magic sword. Now I'm just a surprise item. How can I become anything but a master now?
That's weak, when you put it that way.
I downgraded this guy, even if it was to avoid mental control.
'All right. I'll ask the guys if there's a job Leggy can do.
Yay.
Reggie jumps up and down, shaking his twin-tailed hair.
You've been alive for almost a hundred years, but this is the kind of thing that makes you a child, this guy.
'Well then, can you go to the market and get me some fish?
Aine was in the kitchen washing dishes.
The port city of Ilgafa has a well-developed water network, and fresh water comes out when you operate a pump. This is fed by a water supply system that runs underground and is apparently managed by engineers and wizards.
'I could help you wash up, if you'd like.
Mr. Reggie, have you ever done this before?
I've never done it before, but I'll take it! I am the magic sword of doom and destruction!
...... I'm going to ask you to run an errand after all.
Inexplicable.
Of course. What kind of person leaves a scary thing to the magic sword of destruction?
Reggie still looked unhappy, but Aine went through it with her usual fluffy smile.
She wiped her hands on her apron and then took out three silver coins from her purse on the shelf.
'I heard fish is cheaper in Ilgafa than meat. We need to eat something nutritious before the trip. There are enough for six people. Please make sure it's fresh. Can you do that, Mr. Reggie?
'Ha! What do you say, maidservant? I am a magic sword that has lived for a hundred years. Fresh is as good as buying fish!
Leggy looked at me with a plump chest.
'Come on, Lord! Now install the 'Skill to tell the freshness of fish' on me!
"Te.
petticoat
I chop Reggie in the navel.
"That's way over your budget for a skill like that. How much do you plan to spend on a meal?
I have a mission to accomplish. This is the cost of doing so, isn't it?
There is no such pinpoint skill to begin with.
...... No, there may be one. It's too expensive to pay for dinner requirements.
'You know what, Reggie? The fish is fresh with a black eye and a glossy one, you know? Also, choose one with a tight fin. Also choose one with nice gills.
That's Aine.
He squats down, looks Reggie in the eye, and gives him sound advice.
'Ilgafa is a port town, so if you go to the market, you should be able to find something that was caught this morning. You should avoid the shops that sell things that make your eyes white and your body wobbly. Please don't forget that the food is for your precious Nee-kun.
I get it! Then, my Lord, let's go.
Reggie grabbed my hand.
"Me?
It is natural. I am never far from my body.
That was it.
The red-haired Leggy in front of me, in the form of a girl, was like an avatar made of magic power, and the main body was a black magic sword, I remember. Naturally, you can't leave the main body. So, in order to go out, someone would have to carry the magic sword around with them.
So naturally, that means it's my job.
''Alright. I have something I want to see in the market too, and I'll accompany you.
If you're going out there, you're going to need a bodyguard.
'Ha! What do you say, maidservant? I am a magic sword that has lived for a hundred years. I won't even bother to guard you, Lord!
It's a good idea. If you're alone, I'd be worried about you, Nah-kun, but if you're with Reggie, you'll be safe: ...... Huh?
Aine, you're cheating.
The humanoid leggy doesn't have any fighting power, so it's no different than me being alone in the first place.
But ...... Well, it's okay. We're just going to the market, so there's no danger.
"Don't worry, maid girl. I promise you. I will bring back fresh fish on the honor of the Devil's Sword Leggy. Otherwise, you can boil me, roast me, sell me, or do whatever you want with me.
That's why.
I was to go on an errand with Reggie.
...... no fish?
With a pop, the backpack fell off Leggy's back.
This is a part of the market.
I had just come to a store that buys fish directly from the fishermen, after hearing about it from the townspeople.
But the store was empty. Not a single fish on hand.
The lady was just scratching her head in front of the store, looking bored.
Oh, they didn't have a boat today," she said. There's dried fish in the back, though.
All right, all right. Let's get you home.
"What are you talking about, Lord!
Kneeled stiffly on the ground, Reggie shouted out.
What are you doing in the store?
I've been given my first daily mission, but how can I fail to fulfill it?
I don't care what they don't sell.
There are fish in the sea. Why don't you go out and get some?
Standing on his toes, he spun around and spun around, and Reggie pointed to the sea.
I've been in the royal palace for a while now, so apparently that's why this guy sometimes makes theatrical movements. I'm sure he knows how to behave, manners and all that. The problem is that he's not very well versed in the ways of the world.
"I dive. I'll dive, grab a fish. I'll dive, I'll grab the fish, I'll deliver it to the Lord. Isn't that perfect?
Do you float on water?
I don't know, I've never done it before!
Leggy declares with pride.
The main body of this thing is the magic sword I carry on my back. The humanoid leggy and the magic sword are connected, and it seems that they affect each other. So it's unclear whether it will float or sink. But I dismiss it because I don't want it to rust.
'In the first place, there's no way you can catch fish that easily. It costs a lot of money and time to get the right gear. Give it up for today.
Oh, why don't you go to the beach then?
Suddenly, the fishmonger's aunt said.
She looked into Reggie's face as he fell to his knees on the ground with a gut feeling of worry.
'You must be a slave if you're wearing a collar, little girl. It's a long story, isn't it?
I am a ............ slave and I must do my duty.
No, because it's not that great.
Why are you being so realistic and tragic, you.
It's just an errand boy. Your life isn't in danger, is it?
If we can't buy ...... fish, our plans to complete our ...... mission and look back at the other slaves will be ruined.
Is that your plan?
Yes," he said. It was a super far-reaching plan that they would be inspired to be of service to the Lord, and that they would be able to attack the other girls and watch them sneak into the Lord's bedchamber with a smirk on their faces. ......
All right. We'll leave now. I need to talk to you.
I picked up Reggie. We'll take him home anyway.
"I don't know about that. I know where your loyalty lies, and I'm impressed with your little one. I'm impressed for such a small guy.
But the fishmonger's aunt looked at Leggy with a twinkle in her eye for some reason.
'Well, then,' she said, 'you should go to the west beach. I'm sure our fools and the other fishermen are there. You should go and talk to them. If you're lucky, you might get some fine fish.
An expensive fish?
And it's called "Swordfish.
Swordfish...... I've heard of it.
As I recall, Iris told me that the Lord's family's meals are served with pickled vinegar.
'This happens sometimes after the Festival of the Sea Dragons,' he said. "Sometimes after the 'Sea Dragon Festival'," he said, "there's an event where the fish can't be found off the coast and the coast is flooded with fish of the highest quality. If you're good at it, you should go. If you give them my name, they'll probably give you one of these fish.
'Nuh-uh, Lord!'
Leggy tugged on my arm.
This is a good opportunity. The other slaves will be impressed by the fact that you brought back a freshly caught fish from your first outing, and they will be able to see that you have lived a hundred years as a magic sword.
I don't care what your plan is, but ...... yeah, I get it.
A superior fish. I've never eaten anything like that.
In my former world, I lived in a country that ate a lot of fish. The most common fish I ate was the fried white fish on my lunchbox rice. And then some loosened fish in a rice ball, for example.
We were in a port town, so we wanted to eat fresh fish.
Then let's go to the beach.
You're my master, and you know how to talk!
Leggy jumps up and down on me with a whimper.
He pats her tiny head and squints at her in a pleasant way.
You should have done this all the time.
So we asked the fishmonger for the exact location, and Leggy and I headed for the beach.
We were walking down the street by the sea and we saw the beach.
It's about an hour's walk away from Central Avenue. There are hardly any houses up here, and the road is rocky around the road. Along the rocky shore as steep as the embankment, there is just a small sandy beach.
In the original world, it's about a two-lane road.
That's where a group of burly men gather, pounding the surface of the sea with their poles.
That's odd for a fisherman ....... They're all wearing armor.
The nets are on the beach, but they aren't catching fish. It looks like a ritual of some kind.
"What's that, an Irgaffa religious ceremony?
The festival is over, is it not? Another dragon is coming, perhaps.
The lady in the fishmonger's shop said that the fishermen were catching fine fish.
But there was no fish in sight. Just a net on the beach.
"Aw, isn't that the adventurer from before?
I heard a voice.
There was a man in armor underneath the rocky ground.
It was the captain of a regular soldier, wearing a horned helmet. His name was Darus, I believe.
'It's been a long time. It's been a long time since the Sea Dragon Festival. Will you be awake any longer?
...... I don't have much left of that time.
Awakening or ...... I remember saying something like that.
It's a temporary dream for adventurers that comes only during the festival. Before the festival changed its appearance, the sea dragon must have demonstrated its power ......
How can you keep popping out so many? Lord.
Reggie looks at me like he's dumbfounded. It's annoying.
I'm sure it's a blessing from the sea dragon. I'm sure you're right. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea.
The captain of the regulars nodded at me.
If you look closely, you'll see regular soldiers in armor lined up on the rocky ground. There are more than a dozen of them. They all carry large shields.
'So, why are you here? If you wish to join the regular army?
No, sir.
It's not possible. I don't want to be formally asked to work. I mean, I don't want to work.
'No, no, you don't have to. I'll write you a letter of introduction if you want. A regular soldier is a regular employee of the lord's family, so you have the benefit of social credit, right? It's a very rewarding place to work. For some reason, newcomers don't stick around, but it's family friendly, and as long as you fit in, you'll have no problem continuing to work there. What do you think?
I'm not interested in that at all.
I shook my head, and the captain of the regulars slumped his shoulders in disappointment.
'We just came to buy some fish from the fishermen.
Yeah. Where's the finest fish in the world?
...... and you guys too?
For some reason, the captain of the regular soldiers looks disgusted.
We've been told to refrain from the 'Swordfish' fishing method, and yet at this time of year, the fishermen gather here. And the adventurers. I know they want to make a little money, but I wish they would stop this.
Can you sell it for that much?
Yeah, 'Swordfish' is a very difficult fish to catch.
The captain of the regular soldier looked heartily uncomfortable as he explained the prey the fisherman was after.
''Swordfish.
A large fish with a double-edged sword on its head.
''It has 'swordfighting' skills.
It has large fins and swims at high speed. It can also fly over a distance of more than ten meters by hitting the surface of the water with its fins.
It has a rough temper and will not be silenced when provoked. It has a habit of trying to destroy its enemies in groups.
Its meat is rich in umami and highly nutritious.
However, the problem is that it doesn't keep for a long time. The meat soon goes bad.
The sword is its kryptonite, and if it is broken or damaged, it will quickly rot.
For this reason, it is terribly difficult to catch and is considered a high-class fish. The price of a fresh one is from five to ten pieces of silver'
...... So that's how the fishermen provoke the 'Swordfish'. Large schools of them come here every year after the Sea Dragon Festival.
Apparently it wasn't a religious ceremony, but a traditional Ilgafa fishing method.
'It's the job of the regulars to protect their people, and we must go out of our way to help them.
'You need help with the regulars? Even though it's a fish?
You'll know it when you see it: ...... here it comes.
The surface of the water rippled.
The sea begins to glow silver in the sunlight.
The fishermen who had been beating the sea on the beach retreated to the beach.
The fishermen grabbed their fishing nets from the beach and spread them out in the air. It was like trying to catch a bird. But now we're going to start catching fish.
"Get out of the way of the fishermen! Hide in that rocky area over there!
The captain of the regulars points to a rocky corner, so I pick up Reggie and run.
It's a rocky hollow, with a small sandy beach, but isolated from the rest.
Me and Reggie jump into it at the same time as a silvery thing jumps out of the water.
A violent water noise and a high-pitched scream begins to echo behind us.
Reggie and I poked our heads out from behind a rock and looked in the direction of the fishermen. That place is...
'Ggaaaaaaahhhh!'
'Bollocks! I'm going to go for the carotid artery this year!
'Is it because the tide has changed due to the appearance of the sea dragon! It's even got wisdom!
No metal nets!
'Baka! Don't take it in your armor! If you smash his head in, you won't get anything out of him!
...... It was a shura.
What emerged from the sea was a school of silvery fish that flew to the ground with the force of a bullet.
That's the "Swordfish" ...... shape resembles a marlin tuna.
But its appearance, wearing a sword on its head and flying through the air, is truly a flying deadly weapon.
Its size is around one meter. If you put the sword on its head, it's about the same size as Leggy.
And there are more than a dozen of them.
All at once, it's attacking the fishermen on the beach. They seem to be furious because the fishermen have provoked them by hitting the surface of the sea.
The Swordfish hits the surface of the water with its long fins and jumps. It jumps on the fishermen with its long fins. It looks like a large flying fish. The fishermen hold up their nets - but they've torn them open. Swordfish use their head swords to cut through the glistening net. Fishnets aren't going to stop their swords. They're too strong for fish.
And the Swordfish, having broken the net, rushed forward and crashed into the rocks.
The sword fishes broke their swords and snapped their heads off. The fish with the broken sword is rotting away in a cloud of steam. The sword is made of something like pottery, and it's its greatest weapon and weakest point, I thought. It concentrates nutrients and nerves, or something like that.
I see, this is what you mean by a high quality fish that is rarely caught.
The goal of the fisherman is to catch the swordfish unharmed, but ...... the net will be cut, and if you try to catch it by hand, the sword will stab you, and the stabbed sword will break and the fish will soon rot. However, if you avoid the attack, the swordfish hits the rocky ground and blows itself up. The sword breaks and the fish rots easily.
You'd have to have the same fighting ability as Rita to catch that thing unharmed. ...... That thing.
'This is it, fishermen! Get away from the sand...!
The captain of the regular soldiers shouts and the soldiers come down to the beach.
It's like a tidal wave.
The fishermen are all wounded. Their arms and legs are bleeding.
The soldiers hold up shields to protect the injured fishermen. The Swordfish hit the shield and are crushed, squishy, squishy. ...... It's a waste of time.
''This year's 'Swordfish' fishery is over! You can give up and go back home!
It's not a good idea. It's not good this year either.
The fishermen left with the regulars, and
After a while, the schools of swordfish disappeared...
The beach regained its serenity.
'You mean to say that my errand is a failure?
That's it. Give it up, Reggie.
There are dead swordfish lying on the sandy beach. Every single one of them is dead with a sword broken in the head because they jumped out of the water with such force. Its eyes were pure white. Its gills were a dark red color. Its belly was swollen. Its fins were limp and twisted, and in addition, its body was emitting an inexplicable amount of steam.
The one that hit the fisherman, the one that hit the rocky shore, and the one that hit the shield of a regular soldier.
This is the one that Aine will be mad at if I bring it back: .......
'I wonder what it tastes like, Swordfish?
They say the regulars are the best with the sword in their heads.
I hear it's got a lot of fat on it.
He said it was hard and tasty. He also said it was firm and tasty.
Aine could make sashimi for you, too.
What is 'Sasimi'?
It's all about cutting up the raw fish and eating it raw. But it's before the trip. I'm afraid of food poisoning, so I don't want to eat sashimi. Grilled or boiled fish is the safest choice.
I don't know about you, but would you have made the other slaves respect you by taking the Swordfish and going home?
Maybe. I've always wanted to try some of that otherworldly fine fish.
"Yes, it's shameful that I can't fulfill my Lord's wishes!
horse's heart
Leggy hit the water with a pole that the fishermen had left behind.
Bashin, bash, bash, bash.
'Don't do it. What if the herd comes again?
Wouldn't it be better if the Lord caught it?
It's not possible for me to...
The Swordfish is a sword with a head. It's hard and brittle.
To catch it, you must incapacitate it without breaking it.
Not with a net. Not even a shield. You might be able to catch them with magic, but they'd lose their flavor.
In other words, if you want to capture them for food, you need to incapacitate them without breaking the sword...
...... Huh?
I feel like I could do .............
I should have realized this sooner.
I see, me and Reggie's skills would have caught those guys: .......
What a waste. I guess I'll have to postpone the experiment until the next school of swordfish comes along.
"My Lord.
Hmm?
The second wave is here.
Baba, Babaji.
Leggy was waist-deep in water, desperately pounding the surface.
Beyond that, a silvery fin sways a few dozen meters from the edge of the waves.
Peering out of the water was a silver sword.
It was definitely a school of swordfish.
I remember a fisherman saying earlier that the tide had changed due to the appearance of the sea dragon.
Apparently that's why a second flock has arrived.
They're few in number, but they're firmly caught up in Leggy's provocation.
''Yoroshiku no ya-tachi!
I grabbed Reggie's collar, which was spread out with both hands as if to say, "Dokkoi," and I grabbed him by the collar.
I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.
"What are you doing, Nushi-sama?
Leggy rolled around on the beach and got up covered in sand.
'That's the line over here. 'You're going to die.'
This body is a magical creation of a freak. Even if it falls apart, as long as the body is still alive, it will regenerate in 10 years or so!
That doesn't help.
What's more important, a fish or a slave's body?
Let's face it, a slave is the common denominator.
It can't be helped.
I've heard that Reggie is planning to fulfill the errand Aine gave him, so I'll help him out a bit as master.
I want to see if my skills are useful in catching fish.
'You have no complaints about bringing home a fine fish.
That's not all. I have a responsibility to help you.
All right. So help me out.
I pulled out the magic sword leggy on my back.
"Wait in the back, Leggy. I'll use your body to catch a fine fish.
...... Lord.
Reggie, sitting flat on the sandy beach, watches me blankly.
All the fishermen and regulars have gone home and the place is deserted.
"And I'd like to taste some of the finest fish in the world, too.
I raise my magic sword - a fish, comes.
The swordfish, which was swimming in the battle, hits the surface of the water with its huge fins. The water bounces. The silver-colored fish body floats up in the air. These guys are large flying fish. And they're also highly intelligent. Their angle and speed are perfect, and they aim for my heart area.
But because of that, their movements are easy to read.
"Fire in the hole! ''Jiu-Sui Sword Art Lv 1!''
Shurm.
The sword blade of the Magic Sword Reggie received the sword of the Swordfish's head.
It deflected the enemy's linear assault upward.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
And then, with a whimper, he fell headfirst into the sand.
I'm gonna have to do it again!
Sticking vertically in the sand, the Swordfish is struggling to move its fins.
But the sword is completely stuck in the sand. It's stuck. The Swordfish was beating the air with its fins for a while, but it got stronger, or maybe it just stopped moving, with a thud.
The sand caught the sword in its head. The fish's body was unscathed.
Its eyes are black. The scales are glossy. The gills are bright red.
It was an ideal fish to have for dinner.
"Oh, oh. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Nuh, Lord, wow!
"Leggy, put it in the bag. When he's completely immobile, put the sword up.
Yes, sir! I understand!
Next comes. Swordfish's aim is accurate and has no hesitation.
I timed my timing and activated my "Juju Sui Kenjutsu". I'll be able to repel their assault.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle!
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
The fish spins in the air, falls off - and then repeats.
Swordfish with their heads down line the sandy beach. It's just like a silver plant.
"Juusui Swordsmanship Lv 1
It can pass off enemy swords' attacks in general like water.
I didn't think it could be used for catching fish.
There are eight Swordfish stuck in the sandy beach. Enough for a party of six.
I swing my sword five times into the ocean. It's just a threat.
If this doesn't stop, I was planning to threaten them by making the sword huge with "Delayed Martial Arts", but...
hurriedly and with a splash.
The school of fishes stopped at the edge of the surf, as if they sensed something was wrong.
I thought they were looking at me with their swords sticking out of the surface of the water, but then - with a whirl, they turned their bodies over and went away.
That's good.
There's no more fish to catch, you know.
Lord, we've got a lot of fish to catch.
Leggy is running around on the beach.
The Swordfish are gasping for air with their gills fluttering. They don't seem to have the strength to swing their swords anymore.
Leggy stuffs it into his backpack, and the tip of the sword sticks out of the bag.
Holding it in our arms, we decided to return home to avoid attracting too much attention.
''Hmph. That completes the errand quest perfectly.
Leggy smiled wryly as he held his backpack in his hands.
The maidservant will be surprised at the power of me and my Lord. You'll have to wait and see what he looks like. Fuhahahahahahahahaha!
"Why do you two smell like fish?
She surprised us.
When we got home, Aine handed us a cloth to wipe our bodies with and said, "You're both going to have to go to the bathroom before you go inside.
You both need to take a bath before you go inside.
The baths at home take a long time to heat up.
So me and Reggie had to go to the bath house in town.
On the way there, we stopped at the fishmonger's shop from earlier and gave the lady one swordfish as an information piece.
I pretended to catch one fish that wandered in after the fishermen had left.
The lady was surprised, but said it was "too expensive for the amount of information", so she gave me a silver coin. Together with the funds from the errand Aine gave me, it was 4 arsha. It was enough money for a private bath in a bathhouse.
And so.
...... Huh." "Hmmm. Kuh-uh.
The Leggy and I had our backs to each other, and we were going to soak in the bathtub.
The human form of Leggy and the main body of the magic sword were inextricably linked, and if the human form of Leggy's body was cleaned, the dirt on the magic sword would also be removed. Of course, you'll need to wipe the sword clean of moisture later, though.
...... I don't know if it's convenient or inconvenient.
I'm not sure if it's the same as having a bath or not. It's a pleasant one.
What's going on with your senses? Leggy.
Pay the job properly.
I made the bath a waste of money for Leggy because this guy can't eat.
It's a shame he can't taste the fish he's just caught, so he said he'd like to at least take a bath.
'I have no taste buds. But it's strange to me that a bath feels so good.
That's easy. A sword has no mouth. But when it's clean and polished, it feels good.
That's the way it is.
It's not like that.
If that's the way it is, I can't help it.
Reggie's height is shorter than Cecil's. Her head is below my shoulders. Her wet red hair swishes in the water. Her white skin is pink and upturned, and she moves like she's breathing normally. It looks the same as a human. It's a mysterious magic sword. It's a good idea.
"Thank you, Lord.
What?
You showed me the first time.
Reggie held up his hand so that I could see it. Then he broke his fingers and started counting things.
'I've been taught the joy of being dominated. I was taught the functions of a girl's body. I was given a new name. I was allowed to be on the Lord's side at all times and to fight with him. I was given a fellow slave as an equal. And this time, I was taught what it feels like to use and bathe. That's amazing, Lord. There are so many firsts.
I see. You've been hidden away as a treasure all these years, haven't you?
'Right. Yes, when it was in the hands of the king, it was in the depths of the castle as a treasure. Otherwise, it was hated as a magical sword of destruction that could wander the maze.
That's because you use the Lucky Skeletor curse.
I am what I was made to be, so what can I do? Complain to the one who summoned me from the other world.
...... what did you think your role was?
I had no right to choose. The sword is for slaying the enemy. The same is true of my manipulative skills. It's just one of the functions it must perform.
Reggie sipped the hot water with the palm of his hand and dropped it with a chirp.
As if to confirm each and every sensation.
Leggy's eyes in the steam looked like he was about to cry.
But now I regret it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about ...... if you've met the Lord earlier. It's a good idea to have the Lord use up all of me as an atonement.
Reggie turned and looked at me over his shoulder.
I suppose that's about all I can wish for. Alright, Lord.
I need you, Leggy.
The only person who can withstand the biggest offensive skill 'Delayed Combat' is Magic Sword Leggy.
His knowledge is sometimes useful.
And there's no doubt that Leggy is a member of the party.
''As long as I'm alive, you'll be working alongside me. But I don't want you to work in black, so I'll give you what you want as much as I can. That's the least I can do for you.
I don't want much. That's good enough for me.
When I'm gone, you can do what you want. I don't have to chase you.
'All right. Then I'll spend the rest of my life telling the Lord's children about His tsundere in life.
...... I knew I could go after him.
What does this guy have to say after I'm dead?
Chapu.
Behind me, I felt Reggie stand up.
A small hand touched my shoulder.
''It can't be helped. Demon swords can't produce any offspring.
Instead of retelling stories about the Lord. If you want him to stop, let him get rid of me!
Don't be ridiculous.
I had to chuckle at this guy's bullshit.
Behind me, I could see that Reggie was laughing too, holding his throat.
After that, there's not much more to say.
We quickly got out of the bath and decided to go home.
Incidentally, the "sauteed swordfish" that Aine made for dinner was so delicious that I was speechless.
Leggy stood on a chair and struck a mysterious pose with a smug look on his face, to the applause of his fellow slaves.
"Lord, I want to work.Magic Sword Leggy said something weird in human form, so I made him sit on the bed anyway.''You, what did you say?''I said I wanted to work.The humanoid Leggy sits on the edge of the bed with his knees together, a magical sword that has lived a hundred years, but his body is smaller than Iris'. He wears a loose-fitting white robe and swings his hair in his favorite twin-tails.The way he looks like this is completely human, but I don't really know what this guy is thinking.We didn't have much serious talk or anything. That's why he was so hot to talk about."I want to work, but aren't you always working?Since I came to Ilgafa, I've been busting golems and busting serpents.You've served as a sword, haven't you?"That's not what I mean. I just want to do the same job as the other little girls.Reggie's big black eyes widened and he popped his arm.'Oh, I see. But why all of a sudden?'I was always treated as a treasure. I rarely went out of the house. If I don't do this, I'll end my life with a sword that doesn't belong to the world."A naive demon sword.That's a magic sword in a sheath, not in a box.That's because it's too dangerous to be exposed.It's sharp, it regenerates, and it's very powerful."Anyway, since you are now a slave, let me do something, Lord.Reggie lay down on the bed and jerked around.Sheathed and boxed, but a spoiled magic sword is rare.''I see your point,''You understand. That's my good Lord.'You mean you want to have a normal life before they put you back in the treasury once you're in the hands of another owner?'No, although I'm willing to throw myself into the sea to follow my Lord when he dies anyway.It's heavy!I mean, don't let the demon sword kill itself!It's no use. The mental control magic sword has been turned into a slime-controlled magic sword. Now I'm just a surprise item. How can I become anything but a master now?That's weak, when you put it that way.I downgraded this guy, even if it was to avoid mental control.'All right. I'll ask the guys if there's a job Leggy can do.Yay.Reggie jumps up and down, shaking his twin-tailed hair.You've been alive for almost a hundred years, but this is the kind of thing that makes you a child, this guy.'Well then, can you go to the market and get me some fish?Aine was in the kitchen washing dishes.The port city of Ilgafa has a well-developed water network, and fresh water comes out when you operate a pump. This is fed by a water supply system that runs underground and is apparently managed by engineers and wizards.'I could help you wash up, if you'd like.Mr. Reggie, have you ever done this before?I've never done it before, but I'll take it!I am the magic sword of doom and destruction!...... I'm going to ask you to run an errand after all.Inexplicable.Of course. What kind of person leaves a scary thing to the magic sword of destruction?Reggie still looked unhappy, but Aine went through it with her usual fluffy smile.She wiped her hands on her apron and then took out three silver coins from her purse on the shelf.'I heard fish is cheaper in Ilgafa than meat. We need to eat something nutritious before the trip. There are enough for six people. Please make sure it's fresh. Can you do that, Mr. Reggie?'Ha!What do you say, maidservant? I am a magic sword that has lived for a hundred years. Fresh is as good as buying fish!Leggy looked at me with a plump chest.'Come on, Lord!Now install the 'Skill to tell the freshness of fish' on me!"Te.petticoatI chop Reggie in the navel."That's way over your budget for a skill like that. How much do you plan to spend on a meal?I have a mission to accomplish. This is the cost of doing so, isn't it?There is no such pinpoint skill to begin with....... No, there may be one. It's too expensive to pay for dinner requirements.'You know what, Reggie? The fish is fresh with a black eye and a glossy one, you know?Also, choose one with a tight fin. Also choose one with nice gills.That's Aine.He squats down, looks Reggie in the eye, and gives him sound advice.'Ilgafa is a port town, so if you go to the market, you should be able to find something that was caught this morning. You should avoid the shops that sell things that make your eyes white and your body wobbly. Please don't forget that the food is for your precious Nee-kun.I get it!Then, my Lord, let's go.Reggie grabbed my hand."Me?It is natural. I am never far from my body.That was it.The red-haired Leggy in front of me, in the form of a girl, was like an avatar made of magic power, and the main body was a black magic sword, I remember. Naturally, you can't leave the main body. So, in order to go out, someone would have to carry the magic sword around with them.So naturally, that means it's my job.''Alright. I have something I want to see in the market too, and I'll accompany you.If you're going out there, you're going to need a bodyguard.'Ha!What do you say, maidservant? I am a magic sword that has lived for a hundred years. I won't even bother to guard you, Lord!It's a good idea. If you're alone, I'd be worried about you, Nah-kun, but if you're with Reggie, you'll be safe: ......Huh?Aine, you're cheating.The humanoid leggy doesn't have any fighting power, so it's no different than me being alone in the first place.But ...... Well, it's okay. We're just going to the market, so there's no danger."Don't worry, maid girl. I promise you. I will bring back fresh fish on the honor of the Devil's Sword Leggy. Otherwise, you can boil me, roast me, sell me, or do whatever you want with me.That's why.I was to go on an errand with Reggie....... no fish?With a pop, the backpack fell off Leggy's back.This is a part of the market.I had just come to a store that buys fish directly from the fishermen, after hearing about it from the townspeople.But the store was empty. Not a single fish on hand.The lady was just scratching her head in front of the store, looking bored.Oh, they didn't have a boat today," she said. There's dried fish in the back, though.All right, all right. Let's get you home."What are you talking about, Lord!Kneeled stiffly on the ground, Reggie shouted out.What are you doing in the store?I've been given my first daily mission, but how can I fail to fulfill it?I don't care what they don't sell.There are fish in the sea. Why don't you go out and get some?Standing on his toes, he spun around and spun around, and Reggie pointed to the sea.I've been in the royal palace for a while now, so apparently that's why this guy sometimes makes theatrical movements. I'm sure he knows how to behave, manners and all that. The problem is that he's not very well versed in the ways of the world."I dive. I'll dive, grab a fish. I'll dive, I'll grab the fish, I'll deliver it to the Lord. Isn't that perfect?Do you float on water?I don't know, I've never done it before!Leggy declares with pride.The main body of this thing is the magic sword I carry on my back. The humanoid leggy and the magic sword are connected, and it seems that they affect each other. So it's unclear whether it will float or sink. But I dismiss it because I don't want it to rust.'In the first place, there's no way you can catch fish that easily. It costs a lot of money and time to get the right gear. Give it up for today.Oh, why don't you go to the beach then?Suddenly, the fishmonger's aunt said.She looked into Reggie's face as he fell to his knees on the ground with a gut feeling of worry.'You must be a slave if you're wearing a collar, little girl.It's a long story, isn't it?I am a ............ slave and I must do my duty.No, because it's not that great.Why are you being so realistic and tragic, you.It's just an errand boy. Your life isn't in danger, is it?If we can't buy ...... fish, our plans to complete our ...... mission and look back at the other slaves will be ruined.Is that your plan?Yes," he said. It was a super far-reaching plan that they would be inspired to be of service to the Lord, and that they would be able to attack the other girls and watch them sneak into the Lord's bedchamber with a smirk on their faces. ......All right. We'll leave now. I need to talk to you.I picked up Reggie. We'll take him home anyway."I don't know about that. I know where your loyalty lies, and I'm impressed with your little one. I'm impressed for such a small guy.But the fishmonger's aunt looked at Leggy with a twinkle in her eye for some reason.'Well, then,' she said, 'you should go to the west beach. I'm sure our fools and the other fishermen are there. You should go and talk to them. If you're lucky, you might get some fine fish.An expensive fish?And it's called "Swordfish.Swordfish...... I've heard of it.As I recall, Iris told me that the Lord's family's meals are served with pickled vinegar.'This happens sometimes after the Festival of the Sea Dragons,' he said. "Sometimes after the 'Sea Dragon Festival'," he said, "there's an event where the fish can't be found off the coast and the coast is flooded with fish of the highest quality. If you're good at it, you should go. If you give them my name, they'll probably give you one of these fish.'Nuh-uh, Lord!'Leggy tugged on my arm.This is a good opportunity. The other slaves will be impressed by the fact that you brought back a freshly caught fish from your first outing, and they will be able to see that you have lived a hundred years as a magic sword.I don't care what your plan is, but ...... yeah, I get it.A superior fish. I've never eaten anything like that.In my former world, I lived in a country that ate a lot of fish. The most common fish I ate was the fried white fish on my lunchbox rice. And then some loosened fish in a rice ball, for example.We were in a port town, so we wanted to eat fresh fish.Then let's go to the beach.You're my master, and you know how to talk!Leggy jumps up and down on me with a whimper.He pats her tiny head and squints at her in a pleasant way.You should have done this all the time.So we asked the fishmonger for the exact location, and Leggy and I headed for the beach.We were walking down the street by the sea and we saw the beach.It's about an hour's walk away from Central Avenue. There are hardly any houses up here, and the road is rocky around the road. Along the rocky shore as steep as the embankment, there is just a small sandy beach.In the original world, it's about a two-lane road.That's where a group of burly men gather, pounding the surface of the sea with their poles.That's odd for a fisherman ....... They're all wearing armor.The nets are on the beach, but they aren't catching fish. It looks like a ritual of some kind."What's that, an Irgaffa religious ceremony?The festival is over, is it not? Another dragon is coming, perhaps.The lady in the fishmonger's shop said that the fishermen were catching fine fish.But there was no fish in sight. Just a net on the beach."Aw, isn't that the adventurer from before?I heard a voice.There was a man in armor underneath the rocky ground.It was the captain of a regular soldier, wearing a horned helmet. His name was Darus, I believe.'It's been a long time. It's been a long time since the Sea Dragon Festival. Will you be awake any longer?...... I don't have much left of that time.Awakening or ...... I remember saying something like that.It's a temporary dream for adventurers that comes only during the festival. Before the festival changed its appearance, the sea dragon must have demonstrated its power ......How can you keep popping out so many? Lord.Reggie looks at me like he's dumbfounded. It's annoying.I'm sure it's a blessing from the sea dragon. I'm sure you're right. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea.The captain of the regulars nodded at me.If you look closely, you'll see regular soldiers in armor lined up on the rocky ground. There are more than a dozen of them. They all carry large shields.'So, why are you here?If you wish to join the regular army?No, sir.It's not possible. I don't want to be formally asked to work. I mean, I don't want to work.'No, no, you don't have to. I'll write you a letter of introduction if you want. A regular soldier is a regular employee of the lord's family, so you have the benefit of social credit, right?It's a very rewarding place to work. For some reason, newcomers don't stick around, but it's family friendly, and as long as you fit in, you'll have no problem continuing to work there. What do you think?I'm not interested in that at all.I shook my head, and the captain of the regulars slumped his shoulders in disappointment.'We just came to buy some fish from the fishermen.Yeah. Where's the finest fish in the world?...... and you guys too?For some reason, the captain of the regular soldiers looks disgusted.We've been told to refrain from the 'Swordfish' fishing method, and yet at this time of year, the fishermen gather here. And the adventurers. I know they want to make a little money, but I wish they would stop this.Can you sell it for that much?Yeah, 'Swordfish' is a very difficult fish to catch.The captain of the regular soldier looked heartily uncomfortable as he explained the prey the fisherman was after.''Swordfish.A large fish with a double-edged sword on its head.''It has 'swordfighting' skills.It has large fins and swims at high speed. It can also fly over a distance of more than ten meters by hitting the surface of the water with its fins.It has a rough temper and will not be silenced when provoked. It has a habit of trying to destroy its enemies in groups.Its meat is rich in umami and highly nutritious.However, the problem is that it doesn't keep for a long time. The meat soon goes bad.The sword is its kryptonite, and if it is broken or damaged, it will quickly rot.For this reason, it is terribly difficult to catch and is considered a high-class fish. The price of a fresh one is from five to ten pieces of silver'...... So that's how the fishermen provoke the 'Swordfish'. Large schools of them come here every year after the Sea Dragon Festival.Apparently it wasn't a religious ceremony, but a traditional Ilgafa fishing method.'It's the job of the regulars to protect their people, and we must go out of our way to help them.'You need help with the regulars?Even though it's a fish?You'll know it when you see it: ...... here it comes.The surface of the water rippled.The sea begins to glow silver in the sunlight.The fishermen who had been beating the sea on the beach retreated to the beach.The fishermen grabbed their fishing nets from the beach and spread them out in the air. It was like trying to catch a bird. But now we're going to start catching fish."Get out of the way of the fishermen!Hide in that rocky area over there!The captain of the regulars points to a rocky corner, so I pick up Reggie and run.It's a rocky hollow, with a small sandy beach, but isolated from the rest.Me and Reggie jump into it at the same time as a silvery thing jumps out of the water.A violent water noise and a high-pitched scream begins to echo behind us.Reggie and I poked our heads out from behind a rock and looked in the direction of the fishermen. That place is...'Ggaaaaaaahhhh!''Bollocks!I'm going to go for the carotid artery this year!'Is it because the tide has changed due to the appearance of the sea dragon!It's even got wisdom!No metal nets!'Baka!Don't take it in your armor!If you smash his head in, you won't get anything out of him!...... It was a shura.What emerged from the sea was a school of silvery fish that flew to the ground with the force of a bullet.That's the "Swordfish" ...... shape resembles a marlin tuna.But its appearance, wearing a sword on its head and flying through the air, is truly a flying deadly weapon.Its size is around one meter. If you put the sword on its head, it's about the same size as Leggy.And there are more than a dozen of them.All at once, it's attacking the fishermen on the beach. They seem to be furious because the fishermen have provoked them by hitting the surface of the sea.The Swordfish hits the surface of the water with its long fins and jumps. It jumps on the fishermen with its long fins. It looks like a large flying fish. The fishermen hold up their nets - but they've torn them open. Swordfish use their head swords to cut through the glistening net. Fishnets aren't going to stop their swords. They're too strong for fish.And the Swordfish, having broken the net, rushed forward and crashed into the rocks.The sword fishes broke their swords and snapped their heads off. The fish with the broken sword is rotting away in a cloud of steam. The sword is made of something like pottery, and it's its greatest weapon and weakest point, I thought. It concentrates nutrients and nerves, or something like that.I see, this is what you mean by a high quality fish that is rarely caught.The goal of the fisherman is to catch the swordfish unharmed, but ...... the net will be cut, and if you try to catch it by hand, the sword will stab you, and the stabbed sword will break and the fish will soon rot. However, if you avoid the attack, the swordfish hits the rocky ground and blows itself up. The sword breaks and the fish rots easily.You'd have to have the same fighting ability as Rita to catch that thing unharmed. ...... That thing.'This is it, fishermen!Get away from the sand...!The captain of the regular soldiers shouts and the soldiers come down to the beach.It's like a tidal wave.The fishermen are all wounded. Their arms and legs are bleeding.The soldiers hold up shields to protect the injured fishermen. The Swordfish hit the shield and are crushed, squishy, squishy. ...... It's a waste of time.''This year's 'Swordfish' fishery is over!You can give up and go back home!It's not a good idea. It's not good this year either.The fishermen left with the regulars, andAfter a while, the schools of swordfish disappeared...The beach regained its serenity.'You mean to say that my errand is a failure?That's it. Give it up, Reggie.There are dead swordfish lying on the sandy beach. Every single one of them is dead with a sword broken in the head because they jumped out of the water with such force. Its eyes were pure white. Its gills were a dark red color. Its belly was swollen. Its fins were limp and twisted, and in addition, its body was emitting an inexplicable amount of steam.The one that hit the fisherman, the one that hit the rocky shore, and the one that hit the shield of a regular soldier.This is the one that Aine will be mad at if I bring it back: .......'I wonder what it tastes like, Swordfish?They say the regulars are the best with the sword in their heads.I hear it's got a lot of fat on it.He said it was hard and tasty. He also said it was firm and tasty.Aine could make sashimi for you, too.What is 'Sasimi'?It's all about cutting up the raw fish and eating it raw. But it's before the trip. I'm afraid of food poisoning, so I don't want to eat sashimi. Grilled or boiled fish is the safest choice.I don't know about you, but would you have made the other slaves respect you by taking the Swordfish and going home?Maybe. I've always wanted to try some of that otherworldly fine fish."Yes, it's shameful that I can't fulfill my Lord's wishes!horse's heartLeggy hit the water with a pole that the fishermen had left behind.Bashin, bash, bash, bash.'Don't do it. What if the herd comes again?Wouldn't it be better if the Lord caught it?It's not possible for me to...The Swordfish is a sword with a head. It's hard and brittle.To catch it, you must incapacitate it without breaking it.Not with a net. Not even a shield. You might be able to catch them with magic, but they'd lose their flavor.In other words, if you want to capture them for food, you need to incapacitate them without breaking the sword......... Huh?I feel like I could do .............I should have realized this sooner.I see, me and Reggie's skills would have caught those guys: .......What a waste. I guess I'll have to postpone the experiment until the next school of swordfish comes along."My Lord.Hmm?The second wave is here.Baba, Babaji.Leggy was waist-deep in water, desperately pounding the surface.Beyond that, a silvery fin sways a few dozen meters from the edge of the waves.Peering out of the water was a silver sword.It was definitely a school of swordfish.I remember a fisherman saying earlier that the tide had changed due to the appearance of the sea dragon.Apparently that's why a second flock has arrived.They're few in number, but they're firmly caught up in Leggy's provocation.''Yoroshiku no ya-tachi!I grabbed Reggie's collar, which was spread out with both hands as if to say, "Dokkoi," and I grabbed him by the collar.I'm not going to be able to get rid of it."What are you doing, Nushi-sama?Leggy rolled around on the beach and got up covered in sand.'That's the line over here. 'You're going to die.'This body is a magical creation of a freak. Even if it falls apart, as long as the body is still alive, it will regenerate in 10 years or so!That doesn't help.What's more important, a fish or a slave's body?Let's face it, a slave is the common denominator.It can't be helped.I've heard that Reggie is planning to fulfill the errand Aine gave him, so I'll help him out a bit as master.I want to see if my skills are useful in catching fish.'You have no complaints about bringing home a fine fish.That's not all. I have a responsibility to help you.All right. So help me out.I pulled out the magic sword leggy on my back."Wait in the back, Leggy. I'll use your body to catch a fine fish....... Lord.Reggie, sitting flat on the sandy beach, watches me blankly.All the fishermen and regulars have gone home and the place is deserted."And I'd like to taste some of the finest fish in the world, too.I raise my magic sword - a fish, comes.The swordfish, which was swimming in the battle, hits the surface of the water with its huge fins. The water bounces. The silver-colored fish body floats up in the air. These guys are large flying fish. And they're also highly intelligent. Their angle and speed are perfect, and they aim for my heart area.But because of that, their movements are easy to read."Fire in the hole!''Jiu-Sui Sword Art Lv 1!''Shurm.The sword blade of the Magic Sword Reggie received the sword of the Swordfish's head.It deflected the enemy's linear assault upward.I'm not going to be able to get it right.And then, with a whimper, he fell headfirst into the sand.I'm gonna have to do it again!Sticking vertically in the sand, the Swordfish is struggling to move its fins.But the sword is completely stuck in the sand. It's stuck. The Swordfish was beating the air with its fins for a while, but it got stronger, or maybe it just stopped moving, with a thud.The sand caught the sword in its head. The fish's body was unscathed.Its eyes are black. The scales are glossy. The gills are bright red.It was an ideal fish to have for dinner."Oh, oh. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!Nuh, Lord, wow!"Leggy, put it in the bag. When he's completely immobile, put the sword up.Yes, sir!I understand!Next comes. Swordfish's aim is accurate and has no hesitation.I timed my timing and activated my "Juju Sui Kenjutsu". I'll be able to repel their assault.Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle!Crunch, crunch, crunch.The fish spins in the air, falls off - and then repeats.Swordfish with their heads down line the sandy beach. It's just like a silver plant."Juusui Swordsmanship Lv 1It can pass off enemy swords' attacks in general like water.I didn't think it could be used for catching fish.There are eight Swordfish stuck in the sandy beach. Enough for a party of six.I swing my sword five times into the ocean. It's just a threat.If this doesn't stop, I was planning to threaten them by making the sword huge with "Delayed Martial Arts", but...hurriedly and with a splash.The school of fishes stopped at the edge of the surf, as if they sensed something was wrong.I thought they were looking at me with their swords sticking out of the surface of the water, but then - with a whirl, they turned their bodies over and went away.That's good.There's no more fish to catch, you know.Lord, we've got a lot of fish to catch.Leggy is running around on the beach.The Swordfish are gasping for air with their gills fluttering. They don't seem to have the strength to swing their swords anymore.Leggy stuffs it into his backpack, and the tip of the sword sticks out of the bag.Holding it in our arms, we decided to return home to avoid attracting too much attention.''Hmph. That completes the errand quest perfectly.Leggy smiled wryly as he held his backpack in his hands.The maidservant will be surprised at the power of me and my Lord. You'll have to wait and see what he looks like. Fuhahahahahahahahaha!"Why do you two smell like fish?She surprised us.When we got home, Aine handed us a cloth to wipe our bodies with and said, "You're both going to have to go to the bathroom before you go inside.You both need to take a bath before you go inside.The baths at home take a long time to heat up.So me and Reggie had to go to the bath house in town.On the way there, we stopped at the fishmonger's shop from earlier and gave the lady one swordfish as an information piece.I pretended to catch one fish that wandered in after the fishermen had left.The lady was surprised, but said it was "too expensive for the amount of information", so she gave me a silver coin. Together with the funds from the errand Aine gave me, it was 4 arsha. It was enough money for a private bath in a bathhouse.And so....... Huh." "Hmmm. Kuh-uh.The Leggy and I had our backs to each other, and we were going to soak in the bathtub.The human form of Leggy and the main body of the magic sword were inextricably linked, and if the human form of Leggy's body was cleaned, the dirt on the magic sword would also be removed. Of course, you'll need to wipe the sword clean of moisture later, though....... I don't know if it's convenient or inconvenient.I'm not sure if it's the same as having a bath or not. It's a pleasant one.What's going on with your senses?Leggy.Pay the job properly.I made the bath a waste of money for Leggy because this guy can't eat.It's a shame he can't taste the fish he's just caught, so he said he'd like to at least take a bath.'I have no taste buds. But it's strange to me that a bath feels so good.That's easy. A sword has no mouth. But when it's clean and polished, it feels good.That's the way it is.It's not like that.If that's the way it is, I can't help it.Reggie's height is shorter than Cecil's. Her head is below my shoulders. Her wet red hair swishes in the water. Her white skin is pink and upturned, and she moves like she's breathing normally. It looks the same as a human. It's a mysterious magic sword. It's a good idea."Thank you, Lord.What?You showed me the first time.Reggie held up his hand so that I could see it. Then he broke his fingers and started counting things.'I've been taught the joy of being dominated. I was taught the functions of a girl's body. I was given a new name. I was allowed to be on the Lord's side at all times and to fight with him. I was given a fellow slave as an equal. And this time, I was taught what it feels like to use and bathe. That's amazing, Lord. There are so many firsts.I see. You've been hidden away as a treasure all these years, haven't you?'Right. Yes, when it was in the hands of the king, it was in the depths of the castle as a treasure. Otherwise, it was hated as a magical sword of destruction that could wander the maze.That's because you use the Lucky Skeletor curse.I am what I was made to be, so what can I do? Complain to the one who summoned me from the other world....... what did you think your role was?I had no right to choose. The sword is for slaying the enemy. The same is true of my manipulative skills. It's just one of the functions it must perform.Reggie sipped the hot water with the palm of his hand and dropped it with a chirp.As if to confirm each and every sensation.Leggy's eyes in the steam looked like he was about to cry.But now I regret it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about ...... if you've met the Lord earlier. It's a good idea to have the Lord use up all of me as an atonement.Reggie turned and looked at me over his shoulder.I suppose that's about all I can wish for. Alright, Lord.I need you, Leggy.The only person who can withstand the biggest offensive skill 'Delayed Combat' is Magic Sword Leggy.His knowledge is sometimes useful.And there's no doubt that Leggy is a member of the party.''As long as I'm alive, you'll be working alongside me. But I don't want you to work in black, so I'll give you what you want as much as I can. That's the least I can do for you.I don't want much. That's good enough for me.When I'm gone, you can do what you want. I don't have to chase you.'All right. Then I'll spend the rest of my life telling the Lord's children about His tsundere in life....... I knew I could go after him.What does this guy have to say after I'm dead?Chapu.Behind me, I felt Reggie stand up.A small hand touched my shoulder.''It can't be helped. Demon swords can't produce any offspring.Instead of retelling stories about the Lord. If you want him to stop, let him get rid of me!Don't be ridiculous.I had to chuckle at this guy's bullshit.Behind me, I could see that Reggie was laughing too, holding his throat.After that, there's not much more to say.We quickly got out of the bath and decided to go home.Incidentally, the "sauteed swordfish" that Aine made for dinner was so delicious that I was speechless.Leggy stood on a chair and struck a mysterious pose with a smug look on his face, to the applause of his fellow slaves.
