”Also... here's a little parting gift.”
Then out of nowhere, appeared a dagger with black encrusts and crimson-colored blade, with both rain and knuckle guards alike of a fiery snake's steel scales. A rare weapon from the start? Not bad, but cliched...
”A dagger? You deities really have the fetish to serve the usuals huh...”
”My, my! what insolent and ungrateful words! Fetish, you say? Are you perhaps expecting that you're the main character here and that you should have more than a dagger for a starting weapon like the sword of that high-class Classmate of yours?”
”Hmmm, that's a mere assumption at its best... but it's not weak isn't it?”
”Certainly not...”
”Then I guess this should do it.”
”Besides its not just any dagger though. It's a chakram actually.”
”Huh? What is that supposed to be?”
”You don't know what a Chakram is? For an eastern fantasy enthusiast like you, I could have never predicted your ignorance.”
”And what good might it bring to both me and my neurons, memorizing weapons from eons ago?”
”Ara-ara! Kawaikoto!” (English: What a cute thing!)
”Yametekudasai... So, back on point, this dagger is only an outward appearance? And it has the capacity to metamorphose itself in some chakram or something when wanted?”
”Yes... It was a gift from Hades when I was promoted to the ranks and he somewhat showed me what it's capable of with a proud look in his face, which I think is just another... puny trick. Never used it once though and I probably don't need it...”
”So what's a chakram anyway?”
”Guess, there's no helping it, let me show you what it looks like in personal...Try holding to the callous-looking dagger once and say 'Le Chant de Roma'.”
”Here we are again, with the weird algorithm of foreign chanting spells.”
”Can't help it. It's not like I was the one who designed the system.”
