Chapter 611 (1/2)

Fran stared at Sierra’s sword. The appraisal was still ineffective due to the Evil Spirit. However, she could sense the indescribable awesomeness of the sword.

「What’s with the sword?」

「I don’t know if you’d believe me, but…」

Sierra seemed a little hesitant to continue his sentence. I wonder why someone who had said that he had traveled through time would hesitate.

Sierra then stared at the sword for a few seconds and then fell silent. It was as if he was having a conversation with the sword.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, Sierra looked up and spoke seriously.

「This sword… contains the consciousness and power of Uncle Zelos Reed」

Does the sword contain the consciousness of Zelos Reed? That means that sword was―――

「So it is an intelligence weapon?」

「Yeah」

「Hoo―」

It was hard to believe, but Sierra wasn’t lying. It seemed it was really an intelligence weapon inhabited by Zelos Reed.

It was not like they were talking to each other even now, but I guess they were really talking to each other.

「Y-you’re not surprised?」

「I’m surprised. Woah」

No one would know it unless they were me. Fran was really surprised. But she wasn’t so much surprised as taken aback.

Originally, I thought it was a strange sword with many mysteries. To Fran, who was used to using an intelligence weapon, it was just a strange sword that had become a super strange sword.

「Zelos Reed is in that sword?」

「You believe that too?」

「Nn?」

From his point, he was not convinced that Fran would simply believe anything he said.

It was actually because of my Principal of Falsehood and Fran’s wild intuition. But to anyone, she seemed like a strange girl who believed anything.

As Sierra looked at her, Fran raised a question.

「Can Zelos Reed talk to others?」

「Aah, no… He can’t have a conversation with anyone but me. It was because we’re talking with a skill called Synchronization, which allows me to communicate with my equipment」

「I see」

As Fran muttered this, the jet-black sword in Sierra’s hand suddenly emitted a high-pitched squeak. It must have been a sign that it had a will of its own.

「Uncle is trying to say he’s sorry」

「He’s sorry?」

「…You have a grudge against Uncle Zelos Reed, don’t you? I know that」

It seemed that the Zelos Reed from another timeline had changed, just like the Zelos Reed of this timeline.

Fran raised her eyebrows and frowned lightly, but she was no longer enraged. His appearance had changed completely, so she didn’t really feel it.

Besides, Fran, who had already gotten over her anger, seemed to be confused when this Zelos Reed apologized to her now.

Sierra then bowed deeply on the spot.

「But can you wait just a little longer to take your revenge?」

「You’re not gonna tell me to stop?」

「I know how you feel… But there are some things we just have to do. And until we do it, we have to stay alive」

「Revenge on Zelyse?」
