I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)

"I wanted to tell you something today, and I'm here."

"... what?

Apparently Fran decided to listen to Lane first, rather than prying into his identity. There was something about Lane's unexpected, serious look that didn't make him say yes or no.

"I can see past causes and consequences through water. And from a visible past, you can see the future"

"The future?"

"Yes. There is no such thing as a determined fate in this world. But there are consequences in the name of the future that are likely to be visited if nothing is done like this."

Lane seems to have psychometric abilities. Enough to predict the future, so I guess I can analyze the past in considerable detail. Moreover, they also have the power to perform calculations based on past information and predict the future.

Maybe I'm not just a sword because of my ability. If you can see Fran's past, then naturally there must be me.

"Not sure, of course. Because if it stays that way, it's just a high chance of visiting."

"I mean, what do you mean?

"The tragedy for you is approaching"

"Tragedy?"

"Yes, I was saved by you before, so I wanted to give it back."

"Before? What are you saying from earlier?

"I'm sorry. If I interfere too much, the future I see now may turn into something completely different. But I'm really worried about you guys... Mr. Sword. You have to be firm to avoid this tragedy"

Lane's eyes definitely caught me.

"You haven't noticed. to my change."

'... what do you mean?

It is completely broken already. I can't help hiding any more. More than that, I'm too concerned about the tragedy and the doing of visiting Fran.

"You are becoming a sword"

"As you become? Is that a sword already?

"My body is. But not inside. Still people."

Uh, you know what? I'm an ex-human, and I have no choice there.

"But I'm gradually becoming less of a person. Change is accelerating from a spirit as a person to a spirit worthy of a sword"

"Is that what you can't do?

"If it had been before, you hesitated on the occasion you were supposed to be stopping Fran. You're looking at Fran these days, looking from a step back."

"It's been..."

"Yeah. Decisively, no. You were a guardian before. But now the sword. Just a sword."

"Well, I'm a sword..."

"To think so, I'm losing my discomfort"

'No...... Oh, I...!

I was surprised by the weakness of the words I uttered in an attempt to argue against Lane. I wonder what. Stronger, "No! I'm a sword! I tried to say," I failed.

"You haven't even noticed the change in Fran"

"What?"

"You can't exercise and you're upset? Are you sure about that?

What's this all about? When I look at Fran, I put my ears to sleep with Petan and lean down with an indescribable face. I was sorry, he had a face with a mixture of sadness, loneliness and all sorts of emotions.

"Sorry......"

"Hey, why are you apologizing?

"My master is a little weird, I was aware. But I was afraid to say..."

"Fran......"

He was frustrated and aggressive because of the anxiety he had...? Because of me?

"You do have a sword. But I'm also a person. Remember that."

Shortly after I told him that, Lane's body starts to thin.

"Oh, hey!

"You must be a master, right? Don't be a mere bystander. Have a strong heart. I thought I was Fran's master."

"Lane! Come on! A little more details! '

No. I just said what I wanted to say and disappeared.

"Fran, where's Lane?

"It's gone."

"Right......"

Am I becoming the sword? How does that lead to tragedy?

"Master"

"What?

"I, master, prefer to remain master"

"Fran......"

Fran's voice contained a definite grief. Her eyelashes tremble slightly and her eyes are slightly moisturized.

As Fran pulled me out of her sheath, she hugged him mightily. Fran's warmth and heartbeat are transmitted through clarity.

"If it's a sword, it's full. But the master is the only one."

"I..."

That Fran, he's afraid. That I'm going to be a sword. For me, to tears.

I got horrible at that moment.

Fran didn't scare me that I'd become a sword. I would have felt absolutely sorry and terrified when I met Fran.

As Lane said, it's about to become a sword. The moment I became strongly aware of it, I was struck by a terrible chill.

"Gu......"

"Master?"

Be a sword, it's my first feeling. And the next moment, I shook my body at the uncertain urge that dominated my mind. No, I don't have a body to tremble...

"Ha..."

――

And then I realize. For myself I feel a strong fear of being a sword.

This is...

"-! Master!

They were so blind to their surroundings. Fran was also deafening. But the moment that sad call was in my ear, I was suddenly able to regain my calm.

"... Fran?

"Master! Are you kidding?

"Ah, oh. I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine. Sorry, a little disturbed...... Hey, have I been weird lately?

"Hey. But it was really a little bit"

Are you saying it was somewhat uncomfortable? So he couldn't tell me. But Fran is obviously horrified.

"Fran."

"What?"

"I am, I am. It's Fran's master."

"Mmm..."

It's just, what am I supposed to do? Lane said hold your heart strong. I guess that means we can still figure it out.

"I'll do my best."

"Mmm!"
