I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)

Alistair was thinking when she heard my hypothesis that the identity of the mysterious soul might be Fenrill.

"I should be able to analyze it in more detail over time..."

"Takes a while?

"Well, if you want to find out who the mysterious soul is, you need it year by year"

"I can't do that."

"Mm. I can't."

You can't let Fran's precious early teens squander in this place. Of course, studying all sorts of things under Alistair can be a good experience, but I knew I'd have to let my pretty one travel.

Besides, why don't we go back to the Kranzel Kingdom and join the auction. I have an appointment with Garth.

"I know. I won't force you. Well, let's get to this foreground and move on to full restoration and renovation"

"Renovation?"

'Don't you just fix it?

As far as I'm concerned, it's enough to put it back together.

"Oh, I decided that wasn't enough than Kelvim's remnants weren't working"

'Not enough?

"If it was meant to be, Kelvim's remnants should be managing his master's vast skills and assisting him when he uses them, but now he doesn't. This time the master went crazy, that would also be the reason. I haven't been able to keep up with my processing skills."

Is the part where Mr. Kelvim is supposed to take his place in the process in a way that I myself am forced to do?

"Just undoing it will soon be the same thing. That's why they need to be renovated."

"What exactly does renovation do? Can you increase your processing power?

"I can't. In terms of ability, there's nothing I can do. In the first place, the master has such a complex structure that it can be called a quasi-god sword class - no, almost a divine sword. It's not that easy for you to get your hands on it."

Is there nothing I can do about the hardware part? So that's the software part. No, that sounds pretty hard, too. If I tell you, it's a situation where awesome capacity software resides and continues to compress memory. We'll have to ensure capacity in finer parts than we can remove that software.

I can surprisingly understand the story myself, thanks to my knowledge as a Earthling around here. Fran has been leaning his neck for a long time.

'Are you saying you're going to cut the extra inside of me somehow?

"That's a quick story. Yes, if I say more, I will reduce the number of skills. With Kelvim's remnants, I guess I would have had no problem managing it if my skills had increased indefinitely. But even if you don't use it as it is now, you just possess the skills, which is a slight burden on your master."

So you're saying that my limits were so close to eating Demon Stone and increasing my skills. Especially in this fight I got a huge amount of skills. That would be more than 200 in total. If I suck, it might reach 300.

Explain it that way, Alistair groans with a frightened look.

"Oh, come on, not so much."

"Mm-hmm. Master has a lot of skills"

"Huh. Ready? Even those divine swords have a lot of skills granted to them that are about 30. If they're over 50, they're not working well, and if they're over 100, it's no wonder they run wild. That's over 200? That makes me crazy, too! Normally, I'd smash it!

Wow.

"Did you feel the pain? You've done better than that."

I knew exactly how impossible I was to do, in Alistair's words.

We were really lucky to meet this time. If we hadn't met Alistair here, we wouldn't know if we could have repaired it, and if we had enemies, we would have made it even more impossible in a state of half-destruction. Waiting ahead is definitely not a bright future.

I talked about that, and Fran expressed his doubts as he tilted his little neck.

"Hey, why does the master feel pain?

'Yeah? Well, like Alistair said right now,' cause it's a burden, isn't it?

"No, isn't that what Fran's trying to say? You mean how can a master who shouldn't have biological flesh and shouldn't otherwise feel pain remember the feeling of pain?

Oh, you mean that. Sure, that bothered me, too. However, Alistair apparently has predictions.

"If the master were an artificial soul, he would not feel pain. I don't know what pain feels like in the first place. However, in the case of my master, I still have a slight feeling when I was human. I think the perception that it hurts if you can't do it because of it is working to recreate the unlikely pain."

"I see."

"I don't think it's either too far from the human flesh to work the feeling of pain to feel the pain even if they destroy the sword part, or the assumption is strong that there's no way it hurts because it's a sword"

So you're saying that the assumption that even the mental part isn't really painful, but it should be, is making you feel painful?

"Well, that's a nasty story, but it's not a bad thing for my current master. By feeling the pain, you can sense your limitations without Kelvim's remnants."

Maybe if you ask me. Had it not been for the pain, I would not have realized the limits and could have self-destructed in the battle against Murreria and Zero Thread.

"Well, we're talking about renovation. In order to reduce the chances of feeling that pain, wasted skills have to be deleted. But I'll tell you one thing, you can't leave or erase this enormous amount of skill, no matter what, one or two. That's what takes years."

'Huh? Wait, that's trouble!

If the useful skills you've acquired disappear, you'll lose your power at once, won't you?

"That said, it doesn't even turn it off properly. Don't worry there."

I don't know what that means.

"Uh, I don't know what to say. Can I use the abilities of the mystery system to integrate and optimize my skills within my master?

"Can you interfere with mystery systems?

"It doesn't change its functionality, if you just use it a little bit. For example, it is possible to bring the skills of the same pedigree together and evolve them into superior skills."

It's a matter of having a lot of skills in vain, so you're saying let's put them together. And if you're saying it's going to evolve, isn't it rather bad?

"I just can't control it in detail, so I'll leave the selection to the system."

'Is that what you mean...'

"Evolving increases the capacity of individual skills, but it should be far more than processing is oppressed into managing wasted skills. Well, still, I can't say for sure that I can leave any useful skills behind. It's my first experience, anyway."

'... Fran, what do you think?

(Anything for the master)

"But swordsmanship and all that could go away."

(When it's gone, you just have to get it again)

Fran told me so beforehand, and I made up my mind. Right, even if you get weak, you just have to be strong again. If you have something to lose, you just have to get it again.

"But I want to hear one thing"

"What?

"What happens if Alistair reduces her skills this time, but increases again?

Sure it is. Fran's right, isn't this just a one-off?

"So come and show me regularly. If you find out anything about my master, why don't you let Atashi know? Sometimes you can help."

'... just kindness?

"Well, I'm not saying you're not interested in your master's qualities."

Right? Something whose eyes are completely dominated by curiosity. But even for me, I don't want to cut off my connection to a divine blacksmith. It's really comforting to have someone who can ask you to fix it.

If I say it in humans, is it close to the peace of mind that super famous doctors can see at any time? Anyway, now we can fight again.

"Okay. I'll be back."

"So, if you're renovating, please do it"

"Oh, I'll take care of it"
