Chapter
25: The Requested Thing
“Besides, there’s
one thing I would like to ask of Leo-kun, but...”(Orton)
One thing you would
like to ask of me?
Well, this time, I
had troubled him for not leaving my room for a whole week...
“Yes, please ask me
anything.”(Leo)
So if I could, I
would do whatever it was.
“Thank God, then.
To be honest, I was thinking about what to do in case you refused.”(Orton)
“Wh-What would you
like to ask of me?”(Leo)
I'm getting worried
now, but... gentlemen don’t take their words back!
“To tell you the
truth, the Saint-sama heard about the Hero-sama’s death and is on her way
here.”(Orton)
Ah, this pattern...
“Could it be...
that you want me to entertain the Saint-sama’s granddaughter?”(Leo)
“Oh, as expected.
It seems that she is about the same age as Leo-kun, so I’ll be leaving that to
you!”(Orton)
“Wouldn’t Shely be
better?”(Leo)
Wouldn't it be
easier for Shely, who is a fellow girl?
“Saint-sama is not royalty,
so if I gave Shely to her, there would be various adult
circumstances...”(Orton)
“I-I see.”(Leo)
Adult
circumstances, huh...
Besides, maybe the
Saint-sama also wants to bring her granddaughter to meet Leo-kun.
Oji-san said
something strange...
The saint-sama
wants her granddaughter to meet me?
“Why!?”(Leo)
“Saint-sama and
kaa-san are so close that they exchange letters even now, and kaa-san was
probably always boasting about her grandson’s cuteness...”(Damian)
Aah, so she would
try to take advantage of the prided grandson, who according to the letter,
wasn't in a good condition, huh...
“S-So that’s how it
is...”(Leo)
“Because of that,
I'll be counting on you, Leo-kun.”(Orton)
Saying that, the
emperor patted my shoulder.
Well, it’s not a situation
in which I could refuse it, anyway.
“Yes ~”(Leo)
So, I decided to
entertain the Saint-sama’s granddaughter.
Then, baa-chan was
waiting for me when I got home.
“Welcome back. Your
face has improved enough.”(Carina)
“Was it that
bad?”(Leo)
“Yes, you had a
face like it was the end of the world until yesterday.”(Carina)
“I-I had a face
like that, huh.”(Leo)
End of the world,
huh...
Now that’s because
I was quite depressed at the time.
I’m grateful to
Oji-san and Shely for trying to cheer me up.
“Then, I have a
request for Leo-kun.”(Carina)
A-Again?
“Wh-What? If it’s
about the granddaughter of the Saint-sama, I have heard about it already, you
know?”(Leo)
“I also thought
about asking that, but that’s not it.”(Carina)
“Eh? Then
what?”(Leo)
What will they ask
me this time?
If you think about
it, a request from baa-chan is scary too...
I braced myself.
“That's... about
jii-san's sword...”(Carina)
“J-Jii-chan’s
sword? If I’m not mistaken, it’s a holy sword, right?”(Leo)
It’s the sword jii-chan
received from the kingdom when he came to this world.
What do you want me
to do about it?
“Yes. Can you
accept it?”(Carina)
Accept it... Eh?
What do you mean?
I will be given the
sword?
“Eh? More like, is
that okay?”(Leo)
I’m sorry... but I
think it's better to give it to oji-san.
“It chooses the
person who can wield it, the same as the demonic sword. Previously, Damian
tried it, but he wasn’t accepted...”(Carina)
“Oji-san is no
good...”(Leo)
“That’s right, it’s
because Leo is the only one who could possibly be chosen by the holy
sword.”(Carina)
“But I already have
a demonic sword, you know?”(Leo)
Will I be okay
having both a demon sword and a holy sword?
“That depends on
the holy sword.”(Carina)
[ED: I think the author is getting kinda crazy here, it’s as if
others can hear Leo’s inner voice.]
“But, is it
necessary to decide on an owner for it in a hurry?”(Leo)
It’s kind of a
waste for me to have two great swords, wouldn’t it be better for someone else
to have it?
“It is. The kingdom
will surely ask to return the holy sword soon. And in case they retrieve it, it
can be used for warring.”(Carina)
“So that’s why if
there’s no one who can be next owner, it’s a problem, huh.”(Leo)
Because if someone
is chosen, the holy sword will belong to that person.
“That’s how it
is.”(Carina)
Baa-chan said with
a nod.
“I understand...
But first, I have to ask for Elena’s permission, okay?”(Leo)
She is of the type
who easily gets jealous.
“Elena, is that the
name of the demon sword?”(Carina)
“That’s right.
Although it was initially Elemena.”(Leo)
I remodeled it, and
it turned into Elena.
“Jii-san also
called the holy sword as Selena...”(Carina)
Baa-chan said, with
a tinge of nostalgy.
The name of the
holy sword is Selena, huh...
“I see. For now, I’ll
ask Elena.”(Leo)
Then, I returned to
my room and talked to Elena.
⎡Elena, can you hear me?⎦(Leo)
⎡What, I talked to you this morning, and you ignored
me.⎦(Elena)
Ah, there was such
a thing.
I have to apologize
properly...
⎡I’m really sorry about that.⎦(Leo)
I bowed towards the
sword.
⎡I understand. I will forgive you only this once. So,
what did you want to talk about?⎦(Elena)
⎡Will you forgive me if I receive a holy sword?⎦(Leo)
⎡Fine.⎦(Elena)
⎡Instant answer!?⎦(Leo)
Plus, is that okay?
⎡That is, if the other one accepts it.⎦(Elena)
Yeah, that’s
right...
⎡I understand. In that case, let’s go directly to the
holy sword’s place.⎦(Leo)
Saying that, I took
Elena and went to baa-chan’s place.
“Did you get
permission from the demonic sword?”(Carina)
“Yes. But it’s only
if the holy sword allows me.”(Leo)
“Thank God, then.
Take this.”(Carina)
The sword that
jii-chan always carried with him suddenly appeared in baa-chan’s hand.
“Was it in the
<Space Storage>?”(Leo)
“Yes, it's an
important item, after all.”(Carina)
“Come to think of
it... Where did the contents of jii-chan's <Space Storage> go?”(Leo)
If I’m not
mistaken, jii-chan had like half a year’s worth of food in it.
“About that,
everything’s in my <Space Storage>.”(Carina)
“Why?”(Leo)
“We arranged it so
that if one of us died, the contents of the <Space Storage> would go the
other.”(Carina)
“You can do such a
thing, huh.”(Leo)
“More importantly,
take the sword quickly.”(Carina)
“Y-Yes.
Understood.”(Leo)
I received the holy
sword.
Then,
⎡Nice to meet you, Leo-sama. My name is Selemena.
From now on, please call me Selena, just like Elena.⎦(Selena)
⎡‘From now on’, does
that mean you accepted me?⎦(Leo)
⎡Yes, I accepted you.⎦(Selena)
⎡By the way, why is it?⎦(Leo)
⎡You have a good personality. Furthermore, I’m
jealous of Elena.⎦(Selena)
⎡What are you jealous of?⎦(Leo)
Then Elena,
⎡She’s jealous of my remodeling by you.⎦(Elena)
⎡After all, I want to remodeled too, and I want to be
burned by your gloves.⎦(Selena)
⎡Leo, she’s an M, you know.⎦(Elena)
⎡He~ well, it’s fine if it’s just remodeling.⎦(Leo)
Instead, I’m
grateful I won’t be hated for doing it later.
⎡Yeay~⎦(Selena)
“Baa-chan.”(Leo)
“How was
it?”(Carina)
“It went
well.”(Leo)
“Thank God, then.
With this, I have no more worries.”(Carina)
Baa-chan was
relieved.
Apparently, she
really didn’t want it to be brought to the kingdom.
“Yeah, thank
God.”(Leo)
“By the way, I
heard Diork will arrive around this week.”(Carina)
“It’s also been a
long time since I met with tou-san.”(Leo)
“What are you
talking about? Hasn’t it been only half a year since Leo’s birthday?”(Carina)
I see, it’s been
only half a year...
“Then, go rest
until Diork comes.”(Carina)
“Yes.”(Leo)
That’s true. I have
to rest every now and then...
“In that case, I
think I will remodel Selena!”(Leo)
⎡Yeay~⎦(Selena)
“First, I have to
take out a magic stone.”(Leo)
While saying that,
I took out the magic stone I got from Sebastian from inside my pocket.
“Huh? There are
only two left!”(Leo)
“How many were they
originally?”(Elena)
Elena asked.
“10.”(Leo)
And now there are
only 2 left... Time has passed so quickly.
Huh? Just now I
said the exact opposite...
⎡More importantly, can you remodel me already?⎦(Selena)
Selena is
impatient.
“Yes, yes. Understood.”(Leo)
I placed the magic
stone on Selena.
Then, I used
creation magic, and it shined as usual.
After the light
faded, I used <Appraisal>.
<Holy Sword
Selena Lv.1>
A holy sword that can talk to its owner,
The owner can summon it from anywhere,
The abilities increase as the level goes up,
Self-Healing ability,
Lv.1: Increases the owner’s physical
strength by 1.5.
Creator: Leonce Forster
Since I went to the
Dungeon right after remodeling Elena, the amount of magic power inside the
magic stone is the same.
Therefore, the
strengthening part remained the same.
But, again the
status...
⎡Selena, it worked.⎦(Leo)
⎡I’m happy. Can you use this momentum to add a flame
to me as well?⎦(Selena)
⎡I understand... Just a moment.⎦(Leo)
So many requests...
Well, from now on, we’ll have a long relationship.
I wore the
<Magic Hand>.
⎡I’ll start then.⎦(Leo)
I took Selena and
added fire magic.
⎡Huh? It’s not hot, huh.⎦(Selena)
⎡He~ I see.⎦(Leo)
If you say, I
haven’t said anything about how it feels like when I add it to Elena, huh...
⎡Eeh~ Too bad.⎦(Selena)
T-Too bad, huh...
⎡Elena, Selena is really an M, huh.⎦(Leo)
⎡See? I told you.⎦(Elena)
⎡Why is her character like that?⎦(Leo)
⎡All swords are M.⎦(Elena)
⎡So... Elena-san too?⎦(Leo)
⎡That's not wrong, but not as bad as you.⎦(Elena)
[ED: I'm kinda confused here, or it was a typo of the author and
it should be Selena here, or Leo is one hell of an M too...]
⎡Eh?⎦(Leo)
⎡I-It’s not that I’m an M or something, it’s just
because it’s a sword’s way of living, okay.⎦(Elena)
⎡Hee~⎦(Leo)*Smirk*
[ED:( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]
⎡Wh-What!⎦(Elena)
⎡It’s nothing.⎦(Leo)*Smirk
Smirk*
Apparently, all
swords are M...
