[The Performance of the Magic Sword May be Surprisingly Amazing]
âIt really fired magicâŠâ
âAhh, it really did.â
Noelia and I turned our eyes to the magic sword in my hand.
âI fired as specified by Master.â
The magic sword is blinking its purple magic stone and talking.
âHow is it! Amazing right! When this magic sword is mass-produced, all mages would no longer need to chant!â
âBefore that, Iâm sure Gawain-shishou will be captured by the Kingdomâs garrison. Regardless of the sword itself has intelligence and can fire magic, do you really think the Kingdom will recognize such a noisy thing?â
Exposed to the cold gaze from Noelia, Gawain fell down to his knees and collapsed.
âAguu! Why! Itâs my masterpiece yâknow! Why canât it be accepted!â
I think itâs because itâs so ground-breaking that itâs hard to judge whether this is a safe thing, thoughâŠ
In fact, if I grow this sword and have it learnt magic, it can shoulder the chanting and I can use different kinds of magic at the same time, or I can concentrate on wielding the sword, so itâs not an exaggeration to call it a great weapon.
The power of its magic is lower than mine, but I wonder if the power can also grow?
âGawain-sama, you said that this sword can grow, right? Other than learning magic, will the power of its magic also raise?â
When I asked him that, Gawain, who was poking his knee, hugged my knees.
I was completely off guard and forgot to put up a Wind Barrier.
âUoOO! As expected of Frick! Youâre very different from some disciple who throws me a cold gaze. That guy is a cute guy who increases his intelligence, learns magic, and increases its power by absorbing monsterâs factors. Isnât it terrible to treat him as a dangerous thing?â
If it follows instructions, I think it will be a very useful weapon rather than a dangerous one.
Itâs just, there is a hidden danger in a situation where it will become smarter and not follow my instruction.
âWhat if this sword grows up and donât accept my instruction?â
âThereâs no way such a thing could happen! That guy was made to turn dormant if the owner doesnât supply it with magic power. If it wonât accept your instruction, you just have to seal it tightly in some unpopular place.â
â!?â
Hearing Gawainâs words, the magic sword made a soundless voice.
Isnât that a bit terrible?
I think itâs too selfish of the person who made it himself to say that it should just be sealed when it becomes dangerous.
I felt sorry for the magic sword that seemed to be depressed and was faintly blinking its magic stone.
Itâs okay, I wonât seal you, so please help me too.
âMaster! Yes, Iâll do my best. Iâll do anything, so please donât seal me!â
âThatâs why, donât read my mind.â
âOh, excuse me. Iâll cut the link except during combat.â
Relieved by my words, the magic sword seemed to have regained its spirit, and its magic stone was blinking brightly.
âWell, if itâs Frick, he can suppress it even if it grows up and goes out of control, so thereâs no problem, right?â
Although it was made with such an intention, I donât want to seal it for my own convenience.
âThere are many problems, you know.â
âEh~, Why~. Itâs a good sword, right.â
Gawain was pouting his lips and protesting like a child.
âCertainly, itâs a good sword, so it is a pity to seal it. Noelia, can I keep this sword at my own risk?â
âHuuâŠif Frick-sama says so. Since itâs a sword that is banned under the laws of the Kingdom, letâs ask my father for advice first. The making of this sword was started by father after all. Iâll write a letter summarizing the details immediately.â
Noelia also seemed unwilling to seal the intelligent sword, she sighed loudly, and she returned to pick up a paper and pen to write down the details of the sword.
âYaaaay! I did it!?? My sword will come out to the worldăŒ!â
âIt hasnât been decided yet. The Frontier Count-sama may not give the permission after all. And please tell us all the details of this guy. First of all, what do you mean by the factor of monster that it needs to feeds on to grow?â
I decided to as for the details of the magic sword to Gawain who was sitting on his soles on the ground.
âMonsterâs factor is a core that was formed in the body of animals when they absorb mana and turns into monsters. When you kill them with normal weapon or magic, it will shatter upon their death, but since the blade is coated with factor absorbent made from Blood-Sucking Mushrooms, it can absorb that factor and use it as a nourishment for its growth.â
âThat means that if I kill a monster with this sword, it will absorb it on its own and grow?â
âAhh, you canât kill them with magic. You have to use the red blade part to make use of the absorbent, okay. When you have killed various monsters and have store some factors, that magic sword should let you know about its growth.â
âY-yes. I can report it myself properly.â
A sword that grows by killing monster, huhâŠ
Iâm looking forward to seeing how much the sword will growâŠI have to get permission to wield the sword from Lloyd one way or anotherâŠ
After that, I heard the details of the completed magic sword from Gawain and wrote a letter of report to Lloyd together with Noelia.

I heard that from Gawain and the magic sword itself.
