614 Memories and Decision (1/2)

”So, they finally decided to send the notification, but there is almost no time until the start of the competition. They are really shameless. However, given the situation, I was expecting them to notify all of us about it long ago, they acted later than I expected. I have just finished my last preparation. Now I only need Lar to wake up.”

Yale was alone in a room observing a door leading to another room where Lar was sleeping.

That was the result of the last upgrade Yale made on her. The weapon sprits would sleep for a while after being upgraded, so the situation was quite usual. Moreover, Yale knew that she was already about to wake up.

Although the Council of Gods called everyone with extreme urgency along with the news, with Yale's manipulation of time, he secured more than an additional day.

It wasn't the plan to inform everyone with so little anticipation since a lot of members would be angry; it was just that the situation worsened far quicker than they expected, and they were forced to act like that. Of course, if they just informed everyone from the start, the problem would have been avoided.

”She has just wakened up, not even two minutes after the notification, and I secured more than a day just in case. Well, I can relax a bit after this.”

Although Lar already spent several days sleeping, Yale could only barely guess the waking time. In the worst situation, he calculated that she would have woken up a bit before the time was over, but even if she was still asleep, Yale could carry her as a weapon anyway.

However, due to a certain matter, Yale wanted to speak with her first if possible. Thus, he went inside the room as soon as Lar woke up.

”How do you feel? I guess that not very good.”

Yale spoke to Lar, who had returned to human form after waking up.

”This is awful. I never thought that losing the memories and recovering them could feel like this. This is very different from a reincarnation...”

The last upgrade improves Lar's strength, but its main objective was restoring Lar's memories as a human before turning into a weapon.

”I am sorry, restoring your memories is all I can do for you, and that is because Tofesh helped me with that strange new Divinity he obtained. As for making you human again, I don't know how to achieve it.”

It was already unprecedented that someone in Lar's situation recovered the memories from when she was human.

”Don't worry. There is no need to worry about that. I am used to be a weapon, and I like it. It just feels as if memories of someone else were forced on me, so I don't feel well, but if I have to choose, I prefer my life as your sword.”

Even after recovering her memories, Lar didn't feel like wanting to be human again.

”Human souls and weapon spirits are too different, so it is normal that in your current state, you don't want to become human again, although if you were human, I don't believe you would ask to become a weapon spirit. Anyway, if you wish to remain as my sword, you can.”

Yale had enough knowledge to know the influences of the differences of the soul. For a weapon spirit, there was nothing better than be wielded for its master, but a normal human wouldn't like something like that. Thus, for a weapon spirit, the memories of a human weren't something they liked. Not being able to transform into a weapon and serve their master would be just a nightmare for them.

”I only want to be your sword. I don't need anything else. Even if I ignore the torture of not being able to be wielded by you, which you said is because I am a weapon spirit, being a human would make me not even able to be close to you since you already have a wife. I know from the memories I regained that I loved you as a human, I can't understand that feeling anymore since I am a weapon spirit, but I guess that for a human loving someone is the same as how a weapon spirit feels for a master. Given everything I said, wouldn't I be forced to suffer like Aizu if I returned to be a human? What are the benefits of being human? Nothing at all. Being a weapon spirit is better. Moreover, as a weapon spirit, I can even avoid the permanent death of the rebels, this is obviously a great advantage.”

True Gods couldn't be resurrected, but Yale discovered that weapon Spirit at True God level could be resurrected as long as there was a weapon suited for them to resurrect. The methods to force permanent death didn't apply to weapon spirits.
