At the end of his sixth life, Leechee pierced her left chest with a long sword with a black blade.

A slender sword with a beautiful appearance.

It was too long for Leechee, but it would be perfect for her.In order to ensure the strength of the attack, the weight is moderate.Still, it wasn't so much to the detriment of the delicate swordsman.

I knew it because I was able to grasp the real thing in this world.

In the morning, Leechee, who had finished her dress, offered it to Arnold, who had also finished her dress.

"I give you my sword, Your Highness Arnold."

"..... ahh"

It is the sword that I owe him.

Leechee raised Arnold's spare sword to his waist yesterday to escort Princess Harriet of Sigwell.

It was a heavy, long sword for Leechee to wield, but she didn't even serve as an escort on her whole waist.

That's why I borrowed it and used it a lot.

I was able to confront Raul in the alley because I had this sword in my hand.

In my life as a knight, I have cared about the sword I have been given.

And this is the first time that I have used the longsword firmly in my seventh life.Perhaps that's why the strangest attachments have sprung up.

Were there any inconveniences or injuries while using it?

"Yes, because I have only mentioned it all the time and I have never used it."There was nothing wrong with it! ”

……

After lying, he takes a step closer to Arnold, who is standing in front of him.

However, the moment Arnold reached out and tried to take the sword, Leechee unexpectedly spoke.

"..... that's a beautiful sword....."

……

His hand stops tightly.

"It was a spare sword, but your Highness made it the same as your usual sword, right?"Although the sheath and pattern are elegant decorations, they are simple and easy to handle.I'm sure it's easy to clean. "

……

“I just pulled it out of the sheath a little bit, but I can only say that this construction is stunning.I've heard that Galkhain's blacksmiths are good, but the more I see them, the more I feel good about them. ”

…………

I'm sure that this carefully trained cutting edge is also sharp.

The good sharpness is something that Leechee realizes with herself.

At that time, I couldn't feel the meaning of my heart being protected by my ribs.

"Black, smooth, blade that looks as clear as wet ice..."

――……

Leechee stared at the sword with both hands.

Then, after a silent thought, the expressionless Arnold opened his mouth like this.

"......... do you want it?"



Leechee raised her face suddenly and asked Arnold in a hurry.

"How do you know how I feel!?"

“You're obviously more desperate than you've ever been.”

……

I was surprised that it was so easy to understand, but it was exactly what Arnold had pointed out.

(After all, I've never even seen such a brilliantly constructed sword in my knight's life...!)

However, that may be natural.

Galkhain is a military power.The blacksmith, who was raised by the soil, made the sword for the crown prince, a genius of swordsmanship.

“I'm sorry, I was in love with a nice sword, but I'm not begging you.”

"Why? If you want something, you can beg me."

"Because it's expensive no matter what I think..."

Arnold lent it to me, but it wasn't supposed to be casual.I borrowed a pocket watch, this time a sword, and I was shaken up.

But for Arnold, it doesn't matter.

"I always struggle to give you things."

"Ugh..."

Arnold, who was smiling, peered into her face, and Leechee pulled back for a moment.

"If you ask me what I want, and I give you back the field, it is good.You seem to be troubled, but what comes out after that is too modest. "

"... the sweets you eat with all your maids, the flowers you decorate in your room, are a splendid luxury...!"

Arnold's right, Leechee rarely buys anything.

However, Leechee was often asked, "What do you want?", so she thought hard.

Because being given a gift without a reason is unsettling, we have no choice but to beg for something cheap.

"I'll ask you again.... do you want the same sword as mine?"

"Uuuu...!"

I don't think it's easy to get close to that beautiful face and ask pleasantly.

Although Leechee was in trouble, she couldn't resist in any way and had no choice but to nod in the end.

"I want it..."

Hmph

After laughing with satisfaction, Arnold takes the sword that Leechee had.

"All right, let's make it."

"Eh...!"

"I will designate a leading blacksmith to match your skill and height."After returning to the Imperial City, but until then-- "

……

Listening to Arnold, Leechee looked at her feet.

Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed Arnold's sleeve tiny.

Not a new sword.

The murmured voice sounds like a child of mine.

"I'd like to use the sword that Lord Arnold has..."

……………………

At that moment, the room calmed down.

Because Leechee is down, I don't know Arnold's expression.

But after a few seconds, Leechee took a deep breath.

(...... I feel like I've just kneaded some really embarrassing waste...!!)

I noticed it and it got hot to the tip of my ear.

"T-That's not true!! Not in a strange way, but because Lord Arnold is the sword you actually use, it just makes me feel special...!"

……

"I feel like I'm in luck, and I feel like my strength is coming!"Somehow, yes, amulet! It's an amulet!! "

…………

The more I explain the details, the more I feel like I'm saying something I don't understand.

Arnold looks down at Leechee with an emotionless expression.

But he said this quietly.

"... I see."



A big hand is placed on Leeche's head.

Leechee stroked her head and blinked.

”Oh my... are you sure?”

"If you want it, there's no reason not to do it.... is it okay with this sword? "

"Hah... yes! I said reserve, towards the sword..."

I can see the traces of use, so it is probably not new.Perhaps it was a genuine slip of the sword Arnold was using before the sword he was using.

"Here you go."

……

Leechee clutched the sword handed over to Arnold.

(wonders)

It was a rhetorical explanation, but I felt that it was really giving me strength.

Just by being able to hold the sword used by the strongest swordsman, I felt like all kinds of good fortune were coming down.

"Thank you, Lord Arnold...!"

……

Laughing happily, Arnold turned away for some reason.

But then he exhaled and said, stroking Leeche's head.

"... I won't allow you to actually use it."It's a sword that doesn't fit your body, so just keep it as a decoration. "

“I'm fine with that. It's unlikely that you'll ever need a sword to live a lazy life!”

…………

"What, what's with that messy face!?"

Although panicked by the premonition of not being trusted, Leechee's goal is to "live a relaxed and lazy life".Of course, a sword does not appear in such a life.

(... even if it is...)

Leechee gazed excitedly at the precious sword.

(This is a treasure for me.)

After that, I looked at the ring, the world's first treasure, and was tickled by the fact that both were from Arnold.
