I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 668

TENKEN 668 Departing from Lady Blue

「Fran. I’ve been waiting for you」

「Sierra?」

As we went through the main gate to leave Lady Blue, a boy appeared in front of us. It was Sierra, the boy who we hadn’t seen for the past few days.

He requested that we call him Sierra from now on, so neither Fran nor I would call him Romio.

「What’s the matter?」

「I thought I’d thank you again. Thanks for letting us off the hook」

Sierra then bowed his head as he said that.

When he revealed the identity of the magic sword Zelos Reed, Sierra promised Fran to let her do anything she wants to them once they had their revenge. (TLN: References ch 611)

That’s the reason why Fran let them go.

She still holds a grudge against Zelos Reed, but she doesn’t feel the same hatred with the Zelos Reed from the other timeline which is now in the form of a sword.

Rather, Fran feels sympathy for Sierra and does not want to fight him for the time being. She even decided to avoid a fight by telling them that the whole thing was not over yet as Zelyse from their timeline had escaped.

『Could it be, you have been waiting here to thank us?』

「I-it’s not like that. Well, it’s true that I’d like to thank you, but I also remembered something, so I thought I’d tell you about it」

『You remembered something?』

「Yeah, It’s something from the other side」

From the other side? In other words, it must be something that happened in the other timeline.

「What is it?」

「I once heard Oji-chan saying something before he becomes a sword, he heard a talk about the Fran from the other side saying that Master was a divine sword」

『Huh? The other me on that timeline was a divine sword?』

「Yeah」

What does that mean? How could the other me on the other side be a divine sword?

『Not a discarded Divine Sword?』

「Yes. Oji-chan also mentioned that it could use the Divine Sword Release」

That’s certainly not a word that would be used to describe a discarded divine sword. Obviously, it must be an active divine sword.

「Then, is it possible for Master to evolve into a divine sword?」

『As Fran says... Is that even possible?』

《Yes. It is possible. The gods are involved in the creation of the individual named Master. With Cherubim being the vessel and the Fenrir sealed within it, Master are fully capable of becoming a divine sword. However, the method is unknown due to the lack of information》

『Announcer-san, didn’t you say that you exchanged some information with the Announcer-san from that timeline? Did you not get any information regarding this?』

《Yes. There’s no information regarding how to turn Master to be a divine sword》

Now that’s another mystery. I mean, they were able to exchange information about skills, so why wouldn’t the other Announcer-san share some simple information with us? It should only take her a moment to tell us simple info like "The Master here has become a Divine Sword!" right?

『Or did you not even have time for that?』

《No. We had plenty of time to share information at that time》

Then why didn’t she tell us? The fact that I might be able to become a divine sword is pretty important information, don’t you think? Things were also different in here and there after all, so I don’t think the other Announcer-san would be reluctant to give out some useful information.

『In that case―... did she intentionally choose not to tell us anything about me becoming a divine sword?』

《That’s the most possible reason》

『In other words, the Announcer-san from that side has decided that it’s better for me not to become a divine sword, huh...?』

《There is a high possibility that there will be some kind of price to pay for the individual named Master to gain power as a divine sword》

『The price for that must be really high, huh...』

The Announcer-san from the other side must be aware that we were fighting against the great magic beast at that time. So, if she chooses not to share us the information on how the other me became a divine sword, the price for it must be really high.

What if by becoming a divine sword changed me? The other me from that timeline had been reduced to being just a sword after all... It’s possible that becoming a divine sword was the reason for that.

I do admire divine swords, but it seems that I should be cautious about this.

『Thanks for the info』

「Not at all, I’m glad I could be of some help」

『It should be useful for us』

We got the information that there was a possibility for me to become a divine sword, and a possibility that it would come with a steep price.

「What’s Sierra going to do after this?」

「I’ll continue to chase after the magic sword Zelyse. He’s my mortal enemy after all」

「I see」

「What about you?」

「I received a request from Weena」

Fran and Sierra then exchanged information about each other’s future actions.

In Sierra’s case, he’s going to see if there’s a way to enter the Kingdom of Raidos legally. At the same time, he will gather information about the damage caused by the undead in the area.

After all, the current wielder of the magic sword Zelyse, Nameless the Demi Lich, called itself the leader of the Black Skeleton Corps belonging to the Kingdom of Raidos.

In other words, there is a high possibility that it is leading an undead army and is making moves in the dark in various places.

In Fran’s case, her immediate destination is the royal capital of the Kingdom of Belios. It is likely that we will go directly to the continent of Gordisia from there.

So, while fulfilling Weena’s request, we will also go to see Trismegistus.

Also, our long-term goal is to break the curse of the entire black cat kin. Well, this will take a really long time though.

「The curse of the black cat kin?」

「Yup」

It seems that Sierra doesn’t know that information. Well, I guess that’s what you’d get for not being interested in things in the world. Fran then gives him a brief explanation about the curse.

「So you’re saying that the Black Cat kin must defeat the evil being with a threat level of S or higher?」

「It could also be the evil god’s kindred」

「Either way, it’s going to be a tough fight...」

「But I will definitely break the curse」

「Is that so...? I hope you can achieve your goal. I’m rooting for you too. If I ever find a strong black cat kin somewhere, I’ll make sure to let you know」

「Please do. I’ll help you find Zelyse too」

「Thanks」

With a final handshake, Sierra jumped on the horse that he had brought with him. It seemed to be a summoned animal. It was of a lower class, but it was a horse type. It looked like it could run pretty fast.

「Sierra, see you again」

「Yeah, see ya!」

Then, after watching Sierra leave, Fran jumped on Urushi’s back. Her face was filled with motivation.

「We should go too」

「Woof!」

『Yeah, you’re right』

「I can’t lose to the Sierra」

『Me too, I’m not going to lose to another intelligence weapon!』

「Nn!」
