– The holy sword Excalibur

Any guy would have heard this name before

In the past, it was the legendary holy sword of the hero Arthur who defeated the de

It’s said that it can cut everything and extinguish devils…… the ulti enormous power to its owner

After the hero and de’s battle, Excalibur is said to have been sealed so for the sword to obtain the enorth

“…… Here is the cave that Excalibur is sealed”

Such, I was also one of the adventurers who sought the legendary holy sword

My name is Lancelot A firs year rookie adventurer

There is an increasing nu, adventures couild

But, it is only a guy who is confident in arms to earn money from it

A new face likesuddenly is difficult

That’s why Ias a holy sword

When I bought a dubious map fro the sealed location of Excalibur

Then, I single- the front of it after surviving an onslaught of monsters

“Even so …… this truly is a cave where the holy sword sleeps There’s not even one monster around”

I was restlessly looking around, but theearlier had vanished

There orry that themuch more now

I also feel that a sacred sign is leaking out into the air

“I wonder if I have to get the holy sword quickly since so there earlier”

I go into the cave while rubbing ether

I ary of traps, but I arrive at the deepest point without anything happening so it will be omitted

“Hey, I arrived easily in time”

Rather, I was struggling before I came to this cave

In front of my eyes, there is a stone pedestal that had a sword pierced into it eht

There was a pattern of a “raved onto it

Memory is not clear, but this would have fit in a certain month

“This is … Excalibur …… ⌈Appraisal⌋”

I take out a rolled scroll out of my chest, I activate a skill to appraise it

Although I think there is noit just in case

Because appraisal skills are very useful, the availability of scrolls is high

If this was Excalibur, then I will be getting my money’s worth

If there is Excalibur, it will pay for itself soon

“And the result is……”

Appraisal in over in theof characters is displayed in front of my eyes

⌈Holy sword Excalipoor⌋ (EN: エクスカリパー There is one character off from Excalibur)

Effect

• Fixed dae for all enemies

• Evasion ignored, certain hit

“Oh ……”

I hold my breath from the effects that appeared from ⌈Appraisal⌋“

It indeed is a holy sword The effects are awesome too

First of all, its probably no e is always fixed that the defense of the eneiven will be absolute

Honestly, this is really great

After all, I can not use ic The adventurers usually set up a balanced party of a swordsicians, but unfortunately, I can’t afford to hire others

But I can still kill ic

There’s also the evasion ignored, and certain hit This is also really great

Some ive dae no questions asked

“Ku, Kukuku …… this is gonna be good”

If there is this, I am literally unrivaled

I will be a renowned adventurer, I would also be popular with the girls

“I am the winner with this!”

With a smile, I pull out Excalibur at once

In the tradition, it was told that it would only come out by those ere chosen, but it leaves as if there was no need nor concern

“Oh …… Wow, it shi+nes”

Excalibur, which ithdrawn fro in this dim cave

While is was anticliht, it did not stop the surge inside offor so long

“Well …… tio back to the city……”

『Are you the master who has woken me up?』

―― Let’s receive a request Is what I was going to say when I hear an unfamiliar voice

“Who is it!?”

I start looking around in a hurry, there is no sigh of monsters or other people around

『Here The sword 』

“What?”

To those words, I look intently at Excalibur which I’

『That’s it So I talked Master is my new master?』

“A sword is talking……!”

『That is not a surprise I a⌋

By the words of Excalibur, I nodded

Certainly, no wonder it can talk since it’s a legendary holy sword that had been bestowed by the heavens

『How about it?』

“That is…… likely Well, I’m your new master”

I say that asserting myself

『Hmm, this new master is the first one I had in hundreds of years I am Excalipoor For my new master, I will exert myself and try my best』

“What? What was that just now?”

I feel a sense of discomfort in the words of Excalibur and in return ask

『I said that I will make my best exertions Are master’s ears bad?』

“No, before that It ‘s your name Is it Excalibur? “
