Chapter 124 (2/2)

「Ahaha……S, sorry about that They couldn't all be held in the warehouse」

Bernadette looked at the great deal of weapons that were placed around the store and was astonished

The inside of Ahato's store had weapons that were siether with cords placed around and had made mountains of them

It kind ofco blacksmiths?

「Although they're placed around at randoood weapons, you see……Nn?」

When I looked at the weapons that were placed on the floor and the weapons that were put up on display, there was suddenly soht my attention

「Oi oi, this is……」

What was adorned in a display case was, a single sword

Maybe because of the iron that was used, the sword blade was black, and dully shi+ned when bathed in the light

But there was a reason ht my attention

……It was──

「Ah, that is so in an eastern country and is a sword called a 『katana』」

That's right, it had a form like that of a japanese sword……No, it was exactly a japanese sword

There were no ripples on the sword blade that was black as if it were painted out with charcoal, and it dully shi+ned when bathed in the light

「Heeh～, it's the splitting ie of my short sword」

「That's……Wakoku's wakizashi+, isn't it」

Ahato reacted to Kuon's words and her act of drawing her short sword from its scabbard

「To think that I would see a japanese sword in another world……Hey, can I try holding it?」

「I don't mind However, since the blade is quite sharp, please do be careful in handling it」

Getting Ahato's permission, I raised up the black sword bladed japanese sword

「……Its shape is good and all, but I feel uneasy just fro it」

When I held it with both hands and took a stance, I couldn't help but worry about the thinness of the sword blade and its weight

It felt like it would break just froht

「Aniki, can I hold it next?」

「Nn, here」

When I placed it down on the rack, Kuon then raised the katana

「……Hee……I see」

Within the confined room, Kuon raised the katana overhead

Maybe because she was satisfied with that one action, Kuon put the katana back on the rack

「I want this How much would you sell it for?」

Kuon delightfully srin

Although Ahato was flustered from that sudden development, she pondered

「Erm……Since it is a sword that turned out well in its trial, how does 200,000 f sound?」

「I'll take it」

Taking out a bag packed with coins from her pocket, Kuon tossed that over to Ahato

What a swift decision Did she like that black katana that much……?

「You see, at the time that I wielded it, there wasn't any sense of discomfort」

「Sense of discomfort? ……What do you mean by that?」

What Kuon had been using up until noas the short sword that she said was a memento of her mother

Between this black katana and her short sword, the length and center of gravity were greatly different With that kind of significance, there should be nothing but feelings of discomfort

「The sense of discomfort that not even my memento short sword could wipe away, it all disappeared the moment I wielded this sword……This 『katana』 Probably, inally a school that used this」

If she does techniques that are originally done with a katana using a short sword, then of course there would be nothing but a sense of discomfort Coinated from an eastern country

「……Okay, I have certainly received exactly 200,000 f As a service, it also comes with its own dedicated belt」

「Oh, that's really appreciated ……Hey, does this guy have an inscription?」

When she sheathed the katana into its black scabbard, Kuon asked that, sounding like she just remembered

「Since it had received the naane』 from my mentor at the time, that name was inscribed」

Kuon said 「I like it」 and gave a sane』
