“Lightning Enchantment!”
I was so curious about the new sword that I enchanted myself and rushed over. I should have gone right after my match, but I had to watch my opponent’s match.
“You’re late! Come on!”
“Oh ……”
When I arrived at the hut, Gladden was standing in front of it. It seemed that he had been waiting for me to arrive. Gladden hurriedly led me downstairs. By the looks of it, he had finished the sword.
“Here is your new sword.”
As soon as we entered the basement, Gladden handed me a sword in a beautiful sheath that he had left on the floor.
“Is this my new sword?”
“Yes. The names are Suiyami(Dark colored) and Suikou(Light colored).”
Both sheaths were green. The grips extending from the sheaths were dark green for Suiyami and yellowish green for Suikou.
When the swords were pulled out of their sheaths and checked, the middle of the blade of both Suiyami and Suikou were a clear, beautiful jade green color. However, the color of the outer blade was different between Suiyami and Suikou.
In contrast to the center of the blade, the outside of Suiyami is jet black, as if it absorbs everything.
The outside of Suikou is a warm, sunflower-colored color.
“Swing it a little.”
“Oh, oh…”
I put Suiyami and Suikou on my waist. The borrowed sword is in the magic ring, by the way. Then I pulled out my sword and swung it.
“How do you like it?”
“I can’t complain.”
“I know!”
Gladden confidently asked me how the sword felt to use. The sword is so easy to use that it feels like a part of my body. It couldn’t be more perfect.
“Go ahead, try cutting with it!”
Gladden said and threw something like a lump of iron at me. I slashed at it with my right hand using Suiyami.
“…. No way!”
I cut it, but I didn’t feel it at all.
“This sharpness is probably the best ever among all the swords I’ve forged. That’s why you have to be careful.”
“I understand.”
“By the way, does it have any special abilities?”
“There’s no such thing! The only way to get that effect is to use a special high-ranked magic stone to make it. The sword with the special ability is either cursed at the cost of the special ability, or the sword itself will soon be broken. You wouldn’t want a sword like that, would you?”
“You’re right.”
What I want this time is a sword that will continue to be my partner down the road. If I can’t get that, then I can’t get the special ability. But speaking of greed, I would have wanted the special ability.
Incidentally, I heard that there’s a reason why swords with special abilities are either cursed or broken soon. When the original monster that created the magic stone dies while putting a strong curse on it, its power resides in the magic stone. When the stone is used as a sword, it’s cursed with a special ability. If the sword breaks, it’s because the material of the sword cannot withstand the strong power of the magic stone.
“Ah, that’s right. I have to put that in.”
While looking at the sword, I found an indentation in the center of the guard. This was the one I had originally requested. If I attach my stalking ball to it, it’ll automatically become a sword that will return to me. But of course, there’ll be situations where it’ll be difficult to use. It won’t fit inside the magic ring. I took the mysterious ball out of my pocket and put it in the swords with the simple thought that I could remove it at that time.
“Eh!?”
“What!?”
Then, something like a white vein ran from the ball to the entire sword. When it reached the entire surface, it turned green. Soon after, it turned from green to black. Then the strange pattern disappeared.
“What the hell was that?”
“I don’t know!”
Gladden asked, grabbing me by the collar, but I had no idea either.
“Ah!”
The color of the ball I’d put in had changed. It had changed from just a rust color to a pattern of two gradient balls, one green and one black.
“You already put one ball. Try putting that one, too.”
“Oh yeah.”
Gladden told me that. I was wondering if it was just this sword or if it was different. So I fitted Suikou in the same way. Then, something like blood vessels ran in the same way. The only difference was that the color of the veins changed from green to yellow and the color of the pattern on the jade gradient was green and yellow.
“Try slashing again!”
Saying that, Gladden threw a lump of iron at me again. I slashed at it with Suiyami as before.
Kung!
“Eh?”
“Hmm?”
The lump wasn’t slashed, but was repelled. Just to be sure, I tried with Suikou and it was the same. I tried it like cutting vegetables with a knife, but it didn’t even cut wood.
“………”
“………”
I was silent, and so were Gladden and the other dwarves. I tried to remove the ball from the sword in silence, but it wouldn’t come off. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it off.
“I’ll take it back and see if I can’t get it off…”
“Thank you.”
Then I tried to hand the sword to Gladden. But the sword wouldn’t leave my hand. That’s right. This ball won’t leave my hand.
“For now, I’ll take it home with me.”
“I’ll check on that ball too. You concentrate on tomorrow’s game.”
“Thank you.”
I put Suiyami and Suikou on my waist and left.
“Ah, Zero-niisama. Is that the new sword? I’ll take a closer look tomorrow to see how it performs.”
“Ah, yes.”
When Sophie told me that, I could only give a vague answer. Then I ate dinner, took a bath, and lay down on the bed, feeling depressed. Of course, the sword was always within five meters of me.
“If I hadn’t at least set it up in Suikou… No, it’s not like that.”
Suiyami and Suikou are two in one. It wouldn’t matter if it was only one of them. But on a positive note, it’s the best sword that fits me, even though it doesn’t cut.
I wonder why I put a mysterious ball on it that I don’t know much about. I thought to myself, but since I have another match tomorrow, I went to sleep right away.
“What!?”
Even though I was asleep, I jumped out of bed, because my high-speed crisis detector reacted violently.
“Well… that’s a pretty good reaction, just as you said.”
“Right? It’s just what I expected.”
I looked toward the voice, and there was the devil king and a nine-tailed fox.
“Zeros, I’m here to make a Contract.”
The Devil king said with a grin as his eyes met mine.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
