Chapter 32 (1/2)

『Smithy Jii-san’s house』

「Eeeeeh!!? You were the one who made 《Criminal Darkness》!?」(Kazuha)

As expected, even I was surprised.

Ah~. Aah aah. I get it.

So that’s why Jii-san knew that this was the 『Maou no ken』 during the time I went here carrying the Curse sword for the first time.

So that’s the reason. It’s because he’s the one who made it.

Wait, so Jii-san is one heck of a Jiji……

Not only did he instructed me with the 『Two sword』 skill, but also made the 『curse sword』……

Yeah~, I sure am surprised. Really surprised.

「…… What, Zegius? You didn’t even tell Kazuha about that?」(Selen)

「Hohoho. Well, I’ve thought of telling her when I saw the curse sword though. Hohoho」(Santa)[Zegius]

That way you laugh p.i.s.ses me off!

Say it to me the first time Jijii!

d.a.m.n……

「However, this is a problem, yes? Not about the curse sword but about taking home the 『maou』…… In the first place Granzyme will never let go of the curse sword」(Zegius)

「Right~. I think so too」(Kazuha)

「…… You’re mistaken, Kazuha. It’s not “wouldn’t give” but “can’t give”」(Selen)

「…… What?」(Kazuha)

「………. Hey, Zegius. Not explaining things has a limit, isn’t it?」(Selen)

…… What?

「Even if you say so, Granzyme. I didn’t imagine that Kazuha will bring you personally……」(Zegius)

「Well…… Normally they don’t」(Selen)

Eh? It’s my fault?

You’re saying that my head is weird? Is that what you’re saying?

Eh? I’m gonna cry, you know? I’m gonna weep here, you know?

「Haa……. You’re right……. To put it simply, the “curse sword” is a 『cursed sword』, Kazuha」(Zegius)[Maken 魔剣 , the other 呪いの剣]

Cursed sword?

In other words, it’s like the 『drain badge』 that I used in 『holding back』?

「This 『curse sword』 has a 『consciousness』. Be it human  or Demon, a fearful sword that possesses the one who equips it, constantly absorbing the 『Magic power』 and altering one’s life force」(Zegius)

What fearful sword?

Ain’t you the one who made this!

What’s with that 『it’s not my fault』 way of speech!

「So, Kazuha. I was really surprised when I saw you wield that sword however……  What really astonished me was that you can easily unequip that curse sword and even equip the great sword……」(Selen)

? Ah, during that time eh. During the fight in the 『demon lord’s room』.

Ah. Ah~ah~.

So that’s why during that time, I unnaturally felt an astonishment huh.

Hee~.

Hm?

Then why is my 『curse sword』 not cursed?
