A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 518: Night at Dawn Part 2

Instead of saying it was evidence, Sarah and the others who touched the "Dragon Slash" and conducted the “conversation” were surprised by the three of them.

"The sword said aahhhhhhhhhh!?

"... eh? Now you're talking... eh?

"... surprised"

Meer shouted at Sarah, turning her eyes round and turning her gaze back and forth between Dragon Slash and Reurus. And compared to usual, Neddy opened his eyes and murmured as if confused.

Reurus nodded repeatedly at the reaction of the three. The surprise will convince you that it's not a joke or a lie.

"Meer... let me ask you something, this function... this function? Magic? Anyway, did you make this sword as a talking magic instrument?

"I didn't hear anything like that from my father, and it's not like that... but... you're talking, right?"

Ask Meea, who was involved in the production of Dragon Slash, but Meea just gets confused if there are any festivals that come to mind.

"Wow! What about this kid? Why do you talk? Actually, is Eliza talking in" Call to Thought "?

"Why did I bother to imitate you... nnh! There must be no reason for me to do that."

"I don't know.

"Did you talk again!?

Sarah raised her voice of surprise again while touching the sword of "Dragon Slasher" placed on the table.

Didn't you hear the noise of Sarah? Meer was narrowing her eyes while touching the sword of "Dragon Slash" and leaning her neck.

"Dad's pranks... I don't think I would do such a imitation even if I could handle this kind of material... and use the magic of the sword... I don't know what to do with the magic of the 'magic letters'... how to use the magic of the sword in the first place... I don't think it's 'change'..."

Meer murmured while staring at "Dragon Slash", but the expression seems to be very complicated if there is no clear answer.

It was Calvin who mainly “reborn” the Dragon Slasher, but Meer was also waving her tongue many times along the way. For that reason, I can assure you, even with increased purity as a weapon, I didn't make anything like a sword.

--I don't understand how the sword speaks in the first place.

"Mr. Reurus? I heard you just now, what's wrong? Sara-chan is screaming too....."

Did you notice how the noisy Reurus looked like? The corona that was cleaning looked at her face. Tina peered at her face when she was caught by such a corona, but she looked suspiciously at Reurus gathering around the Dragon Slasher.

"Ah! Corona! Reurus' sword is amazing!

"Amazing...?

"Yes! The sword of Reurus spoke!

…………

It was Sarah who explained to Corona with her eyes shining, but Corona remained silent and smiled quietly as she heard Sarah's remarks. After a few seconds of searching for words, she strokes Sarah's head with a gentle smile.

"Really... that's amazing."

"You will!

For some reason, Corona strokes Sarah's head with a smile, bragging like herself. You think Corona is a joke, but Reurus has no choice but to laugh at his reaction.

"Corona, even with me, I can't believe it... it's true. Can you touch this sword?

"Eh? Yes... this is it?

When prompted by Reurus, Corona touches the sword of Dragon Slasher. And I tilted my neck for a few tens of seconds.

"Er... I can't hear anything..."

"... that? Oh, hey, can you talk to me again? Come on, call me Corona."

Kona-chan

"I can't call you... Corona, did you hear that?

It was the Dragon Slasher, which called Corona's name in less than a tongue, but Reurus couldn't hear Corona anyway. She leans her neck strangely.

"Mr. Corona, there's no magic, so maybe we can't connect to the 'call of thought'."

When I told her about the cause of the corona, I leaned my neck and wondered if it was like that.

"... can I touch Tina, too?

"Ahh... you'll be slashed so carefully."

Reurus immediately gave Tina permission, asking her with a glance. However, Tina, who touched the sword of "Dragon Slash", tilted her neck after about ten seconds.

"I can't hear Tina either. Are you sure you're talking?

"Really? We can hear you....."

If I could only hear myself, I would have really doubted my hallucinations as a revus, but apparently not only Corona, but Tina as well. While wondering, Reurus put his hand on Tina's head and used "Thought Call."

I can hear you like this, like a 'call to thought'... can't you really hear me?

"... I can't hear you. Ah..."

When Reurus let go, Tina looks up at Reurus and says something stupid. The sight of Reurus leaned his neck.

"Do you have anything in mind? Then I want you to tell me...."

"Uh-huh... wait a minute."

That's how Tina drops her gaze on the floor.

The Bishop of Gregory thought he might know something, but Reus looked at Tina, but he could only see the fox ears on his head moving busily and the tail moving flat under the skirt he borrowed from Eliza.

"Speaking magic equipment... I've heard Tina say that the sword speaks anyway..."

It was Tina who had spoken so far, but she narrowed her eyes to explore her memories. After a while, he tilted his neck and opened his mouth without confidence.

"I think it was a rumor, but I heard about the existence of such a sword... but maybe it was the Spirit's 'change'...?

"... can spirits' change 'into weapons? Oh... is it so normal that Vanille could turn into a weapon from that giant to the size of a human...?

Though I thought it was a phenomenon such as the Spirit "changing" into a sword, because there was an acquaintance who imitated more strange things closer to me, Reurus was easily convinced.

Dozens of meters of Fire Dragon's giant body 'transforms' humans. Compared to that, I still understood that the Spirit "changes" into a weapon as a Reurus.

"Ah... are you a spirit?

Reurus asks for the Dragon Slasher. Tina also made a rumored and unsubstantiated gesture, but it seemed more likely than she thought that Calvin had the ability to talk in pranks.

The question is when, where, and how the Spirit was born and “entered" the Dragon Slasher.

Seizure?

However, the voice returned from the Dragon Slash was a strange one. Reurus reinforces the puzzle with a voice that asks the meaning of the words he has heard for the first time.

"... a boy? Or a girl?"

……

I'll try asking you something else, but this only returns strange signs.

"You're a sword... right?

"... uhh... nh... mmm?

An ambiguous reaction that neither spirits nor swords know. Or maybe you just don't understand either word, but it was hard to tell by your voice alone.

(I don't know... I'm sure I can only hear voices from the sword...)

I don't think it would be hallucinogenic if it were given so far, but there is no response that would confirm “identity”. Can you speak a little vocabulary, or does the sword itself not know who it is?

(Only me and Eliza can hear you, not Corona or Tina... except for the people I have a contract with? But Eliza and I used to be apart, and we couldn't hear each other....)

Seventeen years early in this world. There are a lot of things I don't know about Reurus, but this time it's extremely important. There are too many things I don't know about monsters, magic, spirits, and even compared to the previous life.

(It's strange that Vanille's guy becomes a human size because of "change".... hmm? Vaniel?)

It was a Reurus who was trying to escape reality, but then Vanille's face came to mind and I wondered.

(Speaking of which, he used to say something... to Calvin's grandmother and Meer or something... no way...)

I wonder if it is reasonable or evil to think that this is what will happen. But we can't go to the Veos volcano right now to find out, and Reurus sighs and holds his head.

"I'm going to relax at home, but I feel surprised and tired from the morning... No, it's not like“ this kid ”is bad..."

"I see...."

Eliza nods to agree with Reurus. But Sarah opened her mouth as if she had remembered the words of Reurus.

"Hey Reurus, what's the name of this kid?

"... name? Name... name?"

It's a love sword named "Dragon Slash", but I wonder if it won't work, Reurus leans his neck. I don't know the identity or gender, but I was sure that it was not easy to call it "dragon slashing".

"Can't it be the Dragon Slasher?

"No... I don't think so."

Er, not cute.

"I think I look good, but I wonder if it suits me...."

"... I think you should put on a new one."

It was a revulsion that I would check, but Eliza and the others responded with a tender reaction. That's why Reurus meditated with his arms.

(Even if they say my name... I'm not good at that kind of thing...)

Although she named Sarah and Neddy, Sarah took the “joke” by herself, and Neddy suffered for about three days.

It was a Reurus who thought that it would be more difficult to decide the name of a person who did not know the face, gender, or identity than to decide the family name or crest.
