78 – The identity of the sword
“The West?”
“Nuna, look at this.”
Now, the sword, which was polished cleanly on the outside as well as inside, was set down on the desk.
Our cute saintess is tilting her head, saying she doesn’t know what the situation is, perhaps because her husband suddenly thrust out his sword.
“It’s a pretty sword. By the way, I don’t think it’s the practice sword you bought…”
“This is the broken sword I got for free.”
“Yes?”
With an expression of even more incomprehension, he raised his sword and began to tilt his head.
I think he was thinking of a sword that was old, dirty, and broken, so he couldn’t even use it.
After looking around the outside for a while, he slightly lifted the sword case.
Just like when I saw it, the clean and well-maintained sword god came out.
“Hmm…”
“This time I was washing up and the sword was at the door.”
“There’s no way an intruder…”
“No, that’s impossible, right?”
Considering the structure of the bath, it is impossible for intruders to enter.
Unless you’re an invisible person who makes anything he touches transparent.
“That’s right…But this…”
“When I found it in the bathtub, the sword was broken and dirty. But after Perry licked it a few times, it was repaired like this.”
“Holy Beast… The sword used by the previous hero…”
Stella pondered over a few keywords.
Her expression seemed to peer into a deep, deep abyss.
From noble mtl dot com.
Perhaps you are looking for something from the various knowledge inside your head.
Because the swamp of knowledge is deep and wide.
Wait…
Coming to think of it, this is a sword used by a hero, right?
Speaking of a sword used by a hero, isn’t it supposed to be a holy sword?
If it’s a holy sword, wouldn’t it be strange if the holy water touches it and returns to its original form?
“Nuna, do you know that it is a holy sword?”
“I know it as a sword that King Jin used. I heard it was lost.”
“Could it be that the previous hero found the holy sword, but the magic residue accumulated and exploded to death?”
“If this sword is a holy sword as the West said…”
This sword has a tremendous amount of magical power.
If the previous hero held the perfect holy sword in his hand,
A huge amount of mana must have entered his body.
By the way, what if that hero was still unable to use magic properly?
Unable to accept the magic, it explodes and dies.
Just in time, it was said that the previous hero who had this sword had been killed by an explosion.
Is this really a coincidence?
“No way… If this sword is a lost holy sword…”
“Then?”
“Yesterday’s case was resolved in one fell swoop. The holy sword follows its owner.”
As expected!
This guy was an Ego Sword!
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to carry a nice sword?
Even if it’s a sword that stalks me and follows me, it can be comfortable or cool in some cases.
“However, since the Holy Sword is owned by the Church Headquarters, I wonder if the West can carry it…”
“I have Perry and Yongyong, right?”
“The spirit and the sword are different. The spirit moves according to the will, but the sword does not follow the will, but follows a fixed individual.”
“Isn’t that what it is…”
“Similar but different.”
Stella’s words, if Perry and Yongyong are the same,
They say they can’t get involved because it’s the choice of a holy spirit worthy of respect.
However, in the case of swords, on the surface, they say that it is a problem that I am not a hero.
“Seobang-sama is a normal person on the outside, right? He’s in a position where he can’t be chosen by the holy sword in the first place.”
“Hmm…But he follows me around, doesn’t he?”
“If you look at the cathedral cross, there is a groove cut into it, right? If you insert it there, the holy sword won’t move.”
“You know…”
“The great sage told me.”
With that kind of smile, I took out a book from the bookshelf and opened it.
It’s a very thick and heavy-looking book, but Stella picked it up casually.
As expected, even if you want to do office work, you need to have stamina.
“This is a book written by the great sage. It contains details and histories that have not been handed down because they do not remain in history books.”
“Looks like there’s a holy sword there too.”
“Yes. It doesn’t contain that much.”
Stella turned the pages page by page and told me about the holy sword.
I suddenly became a teacher, but I also enjoyed listening to stories, so I quietly listened.
…By the way, it continued without stopping until the next morning.

“Alvin brought something to reminisce about her.”
I just entered the room with a sword, but the wise man noticed what kind of item he was carrying.
Anyway, this guy must be the holy sword.
“Hello Grand Sage.”
“That’s right. Congratulations on your marriage.”
“Ahahahaha, the great sage came too.”
I sent a wedding invitation, but I thought it wouldn’t come.
So I was really happy when they came.
Since the great sage hugged me, it’s just meeting and saying hello.
I wondered if I was hated.
“Kuhmm… That was because I didn’t have a face to face.”
“Oh, did you hug?”
“hehehe!”
It’s embarrassing to be hugged after shedding tears.
Still, I’m glad I wasn’t hated.
“Yongyong also seems to want to see the great sage, so I brought him.”
“Kyuyung!”
“Elsie… No, Yongyong is cute today too.”
I wonder if it’s because I’m the owner.
Because he still had affection, Yongyong was hugged by the great sage.
The Great Sage, smiling benevolently while stroking Yongyong’s head,
That’s how it looked holy.
“If you don’t mind, could you show me that holy sword?”
“Of course. I’m coming to show you this.”
I showed my sincerity and took out the holy sword wrapped in cloth.
Since this guy tried to float on my back, he had no choice but to roll it up and stick it in the waistband.
“As expected, this guy is a holy sword…”
“Yes, it is the Holy Sword that disappeared during the battle with Chaos. How did you find it?”
“I found it at the weapon store in Lagoon City where I was on my honeymoon. I heard that the former warrior was carrying it and it exploded.”
“…I see. A hero who has not fully awakened his magical power must have managed to find the holy sword.”
“That’s why the sword god was broken and dirty, so it was a mess, but once Perry licked it, it became clean.”
Anyway, I said everything while I was curious or asked.
There’s no need to hide anything from the Great Sage.
“Originally, the material for the holy sword is holy water…So Perry’s molars.”
“Molar teeth? Perry is a baby puppy with very small teeth, like cotton balls?”
As for how it feels, it looks like a baby Pomeranian that is only about a month old.
Every single action is cute and lovely.
“That is not the true form of the holy water.”
“Yes?”
“The true figure of the Holy Beast is that of a 6-meter tall lion that is brave and dignified.”
“Huh…”
My little girl is a spirit like a 6-meter lion?
“Ah, that’s too much of a lie.”
“I’m not lying. Yongyong is a big dragon about 150m tall…”
“Then what about Yuri, the rabbit? Come on, tell me.”
“Yuri is just a rabbit…”
“Look! You’ve lost your imagination.”
If you’re going to do it, at least think about it properly.
He might have been tricked if he said that Yuri would turn into a 6-meter-long dinosaur.
“Really…”
“Now that’s all right, they say I don’t own the holy sword, is that true?”
“Elvin is not a hero on the outside, so she can’t help it. She should take this opportunity to hold a ceremony for her return.”
“Bonhwan Ceremony?”
“It is a ritual to return the sword to its original place.”
Since it is a valuable item, it seems that such an event is essential.
Of course, the whole world should know that the precious object called the holy sword has returned.
“And Erwin is in charge of returning the sword.”
“Oh…No.”
“Why?”
“I almost got into an accident when I was in charge of King Jin’s ancestral rites before!”
I still can’t sleep because my heart races when I think about that day.
Didn’t you almost break him by tripping with that precious drink?
“I…I’m not going to do it. Let’s go!”
“Wait…!”
I pulled Yongyong who was being embraced by the great sage, hugged him, and ran out of the room.
Bonghwan Ceremony, Nabal, I don’t know.
I don’t want to go through any more embarrassing things in front of you!
***
“Hey, Alvin.”
“Why…Dave…”
“Did you hear that?”
“What?”
“I heard that you became the main priest of the Holy Sword Return Ceremony?”
My head went cold after hearing Dave’s words.
I came out after arguing that I wouldn’t do that, but the great sage seems to be trying to force me to do it.
“Great Sage? I heard that it was decided that way at the Council of Cardinals.”
“At the meeting of the cardinals?”
“Isn’t King Jin, the first hero, a warrior? And his wife was the first saint?”
“So?”
“Then it was said that it was natural for you, the current husband of the saintess, to take on the role of the hero.”
“Huh…What kind of nonsensical logic…”
No, if you think about it, isn’t that an absurd logic?
I just feel that way because I don’t want to do it.
I think I brought a sword for no reason.
I should have put it in the basement…
