I’ll wash my face for the moment
[Damn… my head hurts….]
The next morning, I was hit by a severe hangover.
As I watched the morning sunrise for a moment and slowly got out of bed.
[Ahh… .. When did I come home? I don’t remember much of what happened last night… ..]
I remember I was drinking at the bar as usual, but… ..
[I think I went to the plaza by mistake. So…..]
As I remember the events last night, I suddenly felt ashamed.
I screamed, I am a hero! And I tried to pull out the legendary sword.
Haa… ..
It’s ok was drunk at the time.
I wouldn’t have done such embarrassing thing, I wasn’t drunk.
Yes, the alcohol is to blame.
Also, I’m glad no one saw me in the middle of the night… ..
[Wait, I still remember drawing the sword, but it must have been a dream… .. Hm?]
I tried to get out of bed, and stepped on something hard.
I thought it was something that I dropped and took a look.
The sword was there.
[……]
There was a long sword on the floor.
It was the same sword that was stuck in the large rock in the plaza.
[…… .C-Calm down. It seems I’m still dreaming]
I slap my cheeks as I take a deep breath.
It hurt.
[If it’s not a dream, is it a hallucination? Damn, did I drink so much that I’m now seeing things?]
I rubbed my eyes, but the sword did not disappear.
I grabbed the handle and tried to lift it. Certainly, I feel the weight in my hand.
[It seems that it is not a hallucination ……. Is it a fake? Yes, it must be, surely it is fake. Although it’s still a mystery …… could it be that I stole it from a store while I was drunk? If so, this is bad… ..]
『”I’m not a fake. I’m the real deal”』
Suddenly, I heard a voice that I don’t recognize.
Now I’m starting to hear thing’s now……?
Maybe I’m feeling worse than i thought.
『You are not hallucinating. I am the divine sword, Venus Wict. I slept in this city for a long time, but I woke up last night thanks to you 』
I heard the voice again.
I was surprised.
[The sword is talking …….!?]
『You have a very silly face, I don’t think I was very clear. You were chosen as the contractor of the divine sword created by the goddess of love and victory, Vigne.』
[W-Wait a minute, contractor? me?]
Speaking of the goddess of love and victory Vigne, she is one of the three great gods.
And I was chosen by that existence that created the sword… ..?
『”Without a doubt”』
I was very confused.
That’s obvious.
It’s hard to believe that I was chosen by a divine sword.
Me? a D-Rank adventurer that is considered the weakest?
Besides, I am an old man.
[But, I don’t remember making a contract]
『The contract was established automatically upon drawing the sword! And you can’t cancel it 』
Well that contract seems Damm unreasonable.
[Why me?]
『”Who knows”』
[W-what?……. didn’t you choose me?]
『”I will give you an example. Supposedly you saw your favorite food being sold in a different store, Would you think twice before buying it?』
[……No before I knew it, I would already bought it.]
『”This is the same”』
I see, I understand and not at the same time.
I just give up thinking deeply about it, I got up.
[… ..Yes, I’ll wash my face for now]
『You have a bad rhythm… ..』
Today I also plan to go on an adventure with Reik and the others.
So I have to prepare soon.
I live in a small, old apartment.
The bathroom,toilet and then the sink was all the tenants shared outside.
I met one of my neighbor just outside the the room.
She was the wife of the old man who lives in the next room.
[Good Morning]
[Good Morning —- hm?]
[?]
[Are you a relative of Lucas-san? It’s very surprising]
The lady smiled sweetly and went back to her room.
[Relative? What does she mean by that?]
She may already lost it …… I feel sorry for her.
While worrying about it, I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, where I finally realized why she was surprised.
[Who is this guy….?]
No, even if I say who, I’m in front of the mirror, so it couldn’t be someone else….
But no matter how you look at it, it’s not my usual old man face.
First of all, the color of my skin looks good.
Everytime i drank too much, my face became pale like a sick man.
Now, the healthy color that I had in my younger days has returned.
The shine in my hair is back, and my beard is showing a bit.
I feel like I became younger by ten years.
Well, I used to look like I was in my forties.
Then, I heard that voice again.
『This is one of the benefits of the contract』
[Are you really capable of such a thing… ..?]
The sword leaked a chuckle.
『Kukuku, you certainly look old for your age and your health was definitely not good.』
[…………….]
But what surprised me the most… ..
[H-Has my right arm also been healed ……?]
『It would be inconvenient to leave it as it was』
I couldn’t find any of my old wounds on my body there wasn’t even a scar.
『By the way, I’ve also rejuvenated that dead libido of yours.』
[So that’s why my crotch is like this]
『”Hmmmmm. Could it be that you got turned on by looking at that old woman? 』
[Of course not]
Anyway, this is a miracle.
I still have my doubts, but it seems like it really is a divine sword.
I then washed my face in good mood, I went back to the room and ate breakfast.
