A Misunderstood Mentor

"Karuna!!"

Suddenly, [she] appeared in front of me and cut the thread that connected the spider to the demon sword.

I couldn't hear Karuna's voice until now.

What are you going to do!? Retrieve it from 'She'?

Impossible.

Even Alice in her prime couldn't beat [girlfriend], and now I can't beat her.

Then there's only one thing we can do.

"Please return Karuna!" Please!! "

All I ask is that you do your best.

"Oh, you're a bad listener." I didn't take it from Takumi. I just borrowed it. "

Don't tear the thread even though I borrowed it!

It seemed like it was twitching by accident, but I pressed it very close.

I want you to take good care of [her] and return Karuna in a good mood.

"Um, uh, do you have any business with Karuna?"

“Yeah, well, I was just telling you my story at first, so I just came.”

"Ehhhh!!"

No way, Karuna and I were talking about [her] weakness.

"You can't talk to me in private." I can hear all the conversations that have taken place in this world. I don't want to trouble you. I've set up a few keywords, and I'm only listening to the conversation that the word was in. ”

"Oh, is that so?" W-Well, that's... amazing. "

Looks like the keyword recordings we saw in that world.

Can you do that in a conversation?

By the way, Leia told me that Alice has the ability to know where I am whenever she closes her eyes, but [she] is clearly out of order.

I'll do whatever I can to get Karuna back.

"I-I didn't mean to offend you." I know the weaknesses, and I'm not going to fight back from there, but, er, yes, please forgive me for my little curiosity, and please return Karuna!! "

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." I'm not mad at you. Rather, I would like to compliment Karuna-san for observing me so well. "

Are you sure you're not mad?

[She] 's expression is smiling, but I can't read whether she's really smiling or not.

Well then, will you return Karuna?

Yeah, I don't even care about the minute dust that was telling me about my weaknesses.

Yeah, I care a lot.

What do we do with this?

I don't feel like returning it at all.

Karuna, who was on [She] 's hand, was shaking and staring at me.

"But wait a minute." Since the magic sword and thread were connected halfway through, I was going to cut them once, put them back, and then return them to you. "

Well, thank you for that.

Oh, really?

Indeed, it was she who switched Karuna's soul from a demon sword to a spider.

'She' could easily be reversed.

"But, Takumi, I can't do it for free." There's nothing more frightening than that, is there? Can I ask you a quick favor? "

I knew you'd say something!

It's definitely not an easy request!!

Be stronger than your disciples, even if it's just a matter of hands!!

Looking toward Karuna, she shook her head violently.

I know. Don't take it.

But if you just ask.....

Oh, what do you want?

"I'm looking for a little person. No, I'm not." I want you to find a lost pet. "

Pets? Why are you looking for pets for me?

After all, as Karuna said, I wonder if you like animals.

Speaking of which, I don't see Sue stopping on [her] 's shoulder all the time.....

Could it be that you lost your pet, Sue?

"No, Sue is at home." What I want you to find is another child. "

At first glance, it seems easy, but can I find a pet that [girl] can't find?

Well, won't you return Karuna until you find the pet?

"No, if you promise to find me, I'll return it to the demon sword immediately." Don't you think it's a good deal? "

It's too good a condition, and I'm scared on the contrary.

Looking at Karuna again, she shook her head harder than before.

Are you okay? It's not going to tear your neck off, is it?

What kind of pet is that?

If you can't find her, you're not just a pet.

What if it was a monstrous beast?

I'll just pretend I'm looking for you, because I'm scared.

"Well then, let's return Karuna to the demon sword." Ah, if you're just pretending to be looking for something, be careful because there's a penalty later on. "

Yeah, I found out.

Let's talk to Leia and Nuruhachi later to find them together.

"Now, it may be difficult for others to transfer their souls, but for me, it's a simple task that I can do even with my eyes closed, without any makeup." This way, pushing it gently... muuuu, it's unexpectedly hard! "

Ahhhhhh!! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!! What the hell is this? It's the same as a null bee!! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!}

As the spider Karuna was touching the demon sword, she heard a voice.

Akan! Ta-kun! This is awkward!! I told you about the weakness, the one with the pattern of being killed for pretending to put it back!! Hurry up and stop!! It hurts, it hurts so much... heh? ”

Suddenly, the spider Karuna was sucked into the demon sword.

Ta, Ta-kun, are we back together?

"Ah, ahhh, yeah, I can properly hear the voice from the demon sword." Ah, what happened to the spider? "

The demon lived properly in the sword. We've been together for a long time, so I think we should get along. "

"Oh, I see, that's good."

It was' She '.

It seemed like I had a bit of a struggle screwing it into the entrance, but it pushed Karuna into the demon sword well.

Yes, I'll replace it.

"Oh, thank you."

Thank you.

I was originally spidered by [She], but you forgot that? Karuna, thank you with me.

"It's okay, you reminded me of something so important that I forgot." Thank you for watching me. "

The smiling expression on [her] 's face was by no means inorganic.
