It’s a Magic Sword, but the Hero Is Obsessed With It

21. Not Legendary, but Legendary

“Stop it!”

As soon as we got out of the dungeon, the swords of the knights and the bows of the soldiers were aimed at us. The adventurers gulped their saliva at the bloody atmosphere.

An imminent situation where a collision is likely to happen at any moment. In the meantime, the only ones with calm expressions were the hero and the leader.

“What is it?”

“There has been a report from an anonymous informant that there is a stronghold of the Dark Church here.”

As an anonymous informant, you heard that the knights were dispatched in the middle of the night? It just smells like sh*t.

I watched the knight step forward. Crest of the Silver Sword. That was the symbol of the Silver Sword Knights who guarded Tefer, a neighboring territory of Hair.

“Who are you, roaming the mountains in the middle of the night? There won’t be any monsters that adventurers will notice here.”

“May I explain?”

After the hero nodded lightly in agreement, the leader approached the knight with a friendly attitude, dragged him into a corner, and started talking.

It was a small voice, but not so much that we couldn’t hear it. What the leader talked about was what we experienced in the dungeon. A monster, the leader of the Dark Church, and a fierce battle.

“That guy is a hero? Huh true. Does not make sense······.”

“And please look at this.”

At first, the knight listened to the absurd story with a disapproving expression, but when the leader took something out of his pocket and showed it to him, his attitude changed in an instant.

What the leader pulled out was something about the size of the palm of his hand, but we didn’t know what it was because we didn’t have clairvoyance even though we had great senses. What is it, a hypnosis app?

“Heh heh, these are the words of good adventurers, so they must all be true.”

What kind of magic was it that changed the attitude of an authoritative knight? I wanted to take out what was in the arms of that leader right away, but the hero seemed to be interested in other things.

While the conversation between the leader and the knight continued, the hero sneaked up to the ranger and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Hee!······Mu, what are you doing?”

Unaware of her approach, the Ranger screamed as if he had seen her grim reaper, then lowered her voice to the glares of her soldiers and comrades.

The warrior spread his white palm toward him.

“Give me.”

“Yes? What are you talking about?”

“Scroll.”

What the hero is talking about is the emotion scroll he used in the dungeon a while ago. Since the magic of peeking at world records required special qualifications, it seemed that even the most versatile hero could not use it.

In the first place, it was nonsense to go around other people’s status windows without any restrictions like me. If you think about it like this, the cheat key I received while falling into this world is amazing.

“That’s expensive…”

“More expensive than life?”

“Here you are.”

[Hero ·······.]

While the hero openly rips off the money and the holy sword laments, the ranger holds out a bunch of scrolls with a face that says he will die. The warrior pulled out one of them.

“This is enough.”

“Thank you!”

To be thanked even after robbing goods. The hero’s negotiating skills seemed to be admirable even for me. But where are you going to use it?

The hero unfolded the crumpled emotion scroll, held it in the air, swept it off several times, and brought it to me.

[Hmm?]

“Legends, items, wonders.”

I am not a legendary item. No, wait. I violently vibrated and expressed my rejection.

[Don’t do it, don’t do it!]

“Why?”

[It makes me feel bad when it touches me! It’s creepy!]

It’s a good feeling, but in reality it’s no different from stealing other people’s personal information without permission. Of course, it doesn’t work on living things, but unfortunately, the current me works as an item.

[Yes, rather use it on the holy sword instead of me!]

[Ah, sorry. Other warriors have tried it a lot, but the emotion scroll doesn’t work for me.]

The Holy Sword said in a refreshing voice that was almost hateful. No, I can see your status window well enough, right? It was just as I was about to refute.

[Liars!]

The hero covered me with an emotion scroll as if he would not allow any more arguments. Then he moved up and down, rubbing his hands together.

It’s supposed to be done by a hero, but it makes me feel really creepy! To compare it, it seems like she was thrown into the town of perverts as a nude, silver-haired beautiful girl. The feeling of licking my entire body with their eyes.

[It’s dirty…]

While I was muttering with a bewildered face, the hero opened the emotion scroll and read the words written in it.

– Magical Sword: Karval

– Rating: Legend

– Description: A sword deeper than night and darker than jet black. The soul dwells in Solium, which is said to be the flesh of God, and regains its original form. It was the sword that caused the most deaths in history, and its victims were both weak and strong. Due to its danger, it was sealed in the Great War for a long time, but came out of the world by someone foolish.

– Function: maximizing physical ability by consuming potential power, manifesting advanced swordsmanship by manipulating the body, summoning the ghost of the target killed by the sword, nullifying the effect of avoiding instant death of the enemy, ???

“Eh,”

And the warrior was shaken for the first time at my status window that was revealed.

“I can’t write, I don’t have any skills…”

Stop the pack width! The warrior expressed me as incompetent, but that’s because the owner is a warrior. Since it cannot pierce the protection and resistance of the hero, it is of course impossible to consume the owner’s latent power or manipulate the body.

Even if you take out the specter, it will melt into the hero’s holy power, and the instant death evasion nullification will be useful, but in fact, with the hero’s power level, even if you avoid death, you just need to kill it once more.

······So it looks like I’m really incompetent, but I’m still legendary! There is only one rank higher than me. In any case, the owner is bad.

“So, my fault?”

[hahahaha, no. It can’t be.]

Somehow I feel a sense of déjà vu. The hero smiled and kicked me around the waist again. I heard Holy Sword laugh and laugh, but I felt very unfair.

In the first place, a demonic sword is like a forbidden secret plan for the weak to inflict a blow on the strong, even if the weak give their all! But I decided not to make ugly excuses.

[On the subject of a bald sword that can only split something hard and shiny.]

[Cancel that insult right now!]

Of course, I didn’t forget to punish the arrogant Holy Sword.

While we were talking, the leader and the knight seemed to have finished their conversation. The leader who came close to us explained with an embarrassed smile.

“Once, I convinced them moderately. The hero came as a porter, so let us take care of the request… Rather, the driver gave me a piece of news.”

[What is it?]

“It is said that the announcement ceremony of the warriors will be held soon. That’s why they released people from the temple and are looking for the hero.”

Since the Great War cannot openly oppose the warrior chosen by the three gods, it is not a trap. I turned my gaze to the warrior.

[Have you not had an announcement yet?]

[That’s right, the announcement ceremony is usually held after I’ve been elected…]

Ah, I was convinced by the Holy Sword’s words. After the hero obtained the Holy Sword, he ran away after fighting in the Great Hall. Of course, there would have been no time for the announcement ceremony.

The Announcement Ceremony was an event to announce the emergence of a new hero worldwide and to recognize that hero at the same time. Through the announcement ceremony, the hero is given a new nickname and gains the right as a hero.

Usually, it is usually conducted after completing combat skills, faith, etiquette, and history education in the Great War, but it seemed that he had given up on it because it was unlikely that a hero would be educated calmly.

[Announcement ceremony, it’s important… What are you going to do?]

[Of course I have to attend! It is a sacred and blessed ceremony that announces the birth of new hope!]

[Because I didn’t ask you.]

Although it was said that the Great God’s War could not be hostile to us, one possibility cannot be ruled out. Even if you don’t use numbers right away at the public ceremony, the tail will of course stick.

I might use the excuse of announcing the ceremony to draw out the warriors and shove them away from the eyes of the public. However, the warrior’s face showed no signs of worry.

“I have to go.”

As if going to reclaim her right, she said calmly.

*

“······But, why did I come?”

And the place we attacked was not the nearest temple branch, but the adventurer’s guild branch manager’s office.

The pitiful middle-aged adventurer’s branch manager, Cale, who had been working overtime without making it home even in the middle of the night, controlled his expression the best he could when we opened the door and entered.

It was definitely amazing that the tower of documents collapsed in the aftermath of the hero opening the door roughly, and her face was able to maintain her composure while using the agility of a veteran warrior to snatch the flying documents.

“Announcement Ceremony.”

“Yes? You should go to the nearest temple for that.”

However, the words that came out were more blunt than usual, as if he couldn’t hide his emotions at all. I watched the scene and threw out the lion’s roar.

[The bastard doesn’t notice. If the hero says that, you shouldn’t just say yes!]

“Yes???”

Keil, who was suddenly interrupted in his work and even received a lot of swear words, had a stunned and stuffy expression on his face, but what can I do? The knight is far away and the hero is close.

Of course, even if he had a knight, he wouldn’t be able to save him from the disaster of being a hero. Right now, Cale himself seems like a desk bite, but isn’t he an excellent warrior who can compete with a fair amount of knights?

“No matter how brave you are…”

It was nice to see him quickly agreeing. As I nodded happily, the hero opened his mouth in a quiet and even tone.

“And the completion of the quest.”

“I see…”

It was a sin to be weak. Despite all the unreasonable power-ups, Cale nodded his head with a distraught face, unable to resist properly.

When he received the guild card and returned it to the warrior after settling the bill, the hero put something thick in his hand.

“Announcement ceremony, information and related preparations. Help me.”

“Yes? No, why didn’t you tell the temple about me…”

“This is labor cost.”

In Cale’s hand was a thick money bag. Judging by the jingling sound, it was a ton of money mixed with a few gold coins and a fair amount of silver coins!

[What, where did you get that money from?]

“Shh.”

The hero lightly subdued me with a menacing hand gesture, and then Cale had a leisurely conversation.

“The Adventurers Guild doesn’t normally accept requests like this, but I understand first.”

“I don’t want to see the temple.”

“Yes. Let me act as the middle bridge.”

The hero was very quick-witted even though he didn’t look like that, and Cale also had experience dealing with a group of people of all kinds as the head of the adventurer’s guild.

So the conversation progressed very quickly. When the hero pointed out the main point, Cale understood it perfectly and added an additional explanation.

“We will take action like that. But why the temple…”

When the horse reached there, the hero tapped my handle. Aha, that means I can say it again.

[If it’s black, you’re just black!]

“Yes.”

The Tower of Documents, which had already been half-collapsed, completely collapsed due to the blaring mental wave. Amidst the snow-like papers, Cale nodded dejectedly.

After everything was over, we returned to our rooms. Cale will have to stay up all night because we interrupted so much, but it was none of my business.

The hero tightened the seal on my handle and went to sleep with a comfortable face. When I was sleeping, I muttered sadly, looking at your angelic face.

[······I’m not running away anymore.]

I tried to poke it slightly to get the seal released on the way back, but I almost got a hot steam from the holy power. It’s so sad not being trusted.

But in the dungeon, I succeeded in neutralizing the seal, even for a moment. It’s impossible right now, and a third chance won’t be given.

I was seeing hope little by little.
