Ch 130
『Title: Sacred Sword, what level do I need to be to use this?』
Content: The Swiftness Sword I found after killing the Face Thief then.
Even though I’m level 60, it won’t activate, so I came back after reaching level 70, but it still won’t come out.
Oh, you sassy thing.
I told you I killed the Face Thief who killed your Master?
I told you I’m the Hero Killer killer?
If your Master evolves twice, that’s me.
But why won’t it come out?
-: Does the Hero become a Hero Killer when they evolve?
Something’s wrong.
-: So that’s why Jiu, this brat, is stubbornly refusing to let Pikachu evolve.
-: Should we try evolving it one more time, just in case?
Into a Hero Killer killer killer.
-: But to evolve that, doesn’t it need to kill itself?
-: The method to evolve into the Ultimate Form is to kill oneself.
That sounds cool.
-: Ah, so that’s why Hitler at the end…
-: Hey hey hey
-: Then should we find another Hero Killer and catch it?
-: S , leave the Hero alone.
-: What kind of Evolution Stone is this?
-: While alive, they save the world, and after death, they become evolution materials…
Heroes are truly without waste.
-: What do these guys think Heroes are?
-『Author』 : It’s a Holy Sword stand, s .
-『Author』 : You brat, I’m stronger than your Master, so open the scabbard.
-: But that Swiftness Sword doesn’t choose its Master based on strength, does it?
-『Author』 : If it doesn’t look at strength, what does it look at to choose a Hero, s ?
Low-level trash, what kind of Heroes are you?
Just farm.
-: Just looking at Teacher’s words, the Swiftness Sword already has one win.
-: In a way, that might be the Hero that suits this game.
-: Each Sacred Sword has a different standard for choosing its Master.
That Swiftness Sword is set to roughly look at potential.
They say potential is important~
-『Author』 : Potential?
-: Stats relative to Level.
Roughly, if the stats relative to level are about +5 levels, you can have a conversation with the Swiftness Sword,
and at about +10 levels, it’ll say, “Did you come alone?”.
And at about +20 levels, it’ll pass the Trial of the Sacred Sword and immediately say, “Master, Master!”
If you go over +30 levels, it’ll completely suffer from cognitive dissonance and break down.
-『Author』 : No s , how did someone get +30 levels?
Did they gather all the Continental Spirits and make a hot pot?
-: Someone found out by temporarily getting a bug.
-『Author』 : There’s a stat inflation bug?
-: No, a Level Down bug.
-『Author』 : Even bugs are only the crappy kind.

-Zallak! There must have been some mistake! Jane has more rough edges compared to that man?
The Sacred Sword Elysia denied Zallak’s statement.
She understood Zallak’s taste（?）, and knew how well her Master, Jane, matched that taste.
-I know what you consider when choosing a Master! Vessel! Innate talent! Jane fulfills all of that! Even those terrible High-Rank Spirits show favor towards this one! A human who receives the favor of a High-Rank Spirit, have I even seen a human like that since ‘that one’!?
The Elf Camila nodded, adding weight to Elysia’s statement.
Then she looked at Belota, the party’s scholar.
-Isn’t that right?
It was a gaze seeking agreement.
“…”
Belota avoided her gaze.
“?”
Unlike them, she had seen too much at the investigation site.
-Ugh!!! I know, I know! Elysia! I also know very well that this friend, Jane, is a remarkably raised person!!!
-Then why are you hesitating!
-Aaaaa! I’m confused, I’m confused!!! That intense shock has ruined my senses!!! I may have become a body that can no longer be satisfied with ordinary stimulation!!!
-Stop with the nonsense and make up your mind!
-Kheuk. Hey, friend! Jane, was it!? Try gripping me harder!? So that I can’t think of anything but you!!!
Zallak instructed Jane, the Hero holding him.
Hmm.
Hmm!
Hmm!!!
The Sacred Sword let out a careful and pleasant moan, savoring the touch.
Everyone watched the scene with excitement.
Except for Lisir.
‘What is this. Is it feeling something? Could it be, the ‘sex’ in Sacred Sword was that kind of sex?’
How long did that state last?
-Ah, yes. That’s it!!! I’m finally getting a feel for it! Was I the one who had become strange!? Excellent! An excellent vessel! Remarkably raised!
The Swiftness Sword Jane held vibrated as if writhing in pleasure.
-To have cultivated a vessel of this caliber at this age!!! It reminds me of my friend Belen!!! No, is it not!? No! It’s not!!! This is even more fun to raise than my friend Belen!!!
Elysia cheered, her expression brightening at the praise that made her forget the previous bad review（?）.
-That’s right! Zallak! You could have done that earlier, there must have been some mistake. What about the man I chose?
That was when Elysia was struggling to resolve（?） the situation.
“Zallak, was it?”
-That’s right! I am Zallak! The Swiftness Sword!
“Yes, Zallak. I am Jane. Elysia’s friend and the Master of the Ideal Sword. If possible, I’d like to ask you something.”
-Speak!
“You clearly said it just now. That I, compared to Lisir, have many rough edges.”
“Wait, Jane!?”
Camila and Elysia were about to express their dissatisfaction, but upon confirming Jane’s appearance, they froze.
An expression that seemed to feel both anger and joy at the same time.
Jane was feeling anger at the situation where she was not recognized, but also joy at being given the opportunity to prove herself.
The Ideal Sword.
Jane, the Ideal Hero chosen by Elysia, was such a man.
“Does that mean that he is more suitable than I am to be your new Master?”
-I’m still thinking about it!
“What makes you hesitate?”
-As I said, you have more rough edges than that friend! That means you’re a Master who’s fun to raise! Conversely, that guy has no rough edges, so he’s not fun to raise! Is it my personal enjoyment, or my duty as a Sacred Sword! I’m currently struggling between those two!
“Then, I recommend myself.”
-Does that mean to prioritize my personal enjoyment over my duty as a Sacred Sword!
“No.”
-Huh!?
“If you truly find enjoyment in the process of raising your Master━ I can guarantee it.”
Jane confidently pointed to herself.
“I will become a man more boring than anyone you know.”
-Hahaha! What a bold friend! Elysia will like it!
“I’ll say it clearly. Zallak. Choose me. I am the man most suited to be your Master.”
Jane’s words, spoken with conviction, held a certain magical power.
This was inevitable, as he was speaking to a Sacred Sword.
The legacy left by the greatest Hero in history.
An existence that transcends raising the Master’s status, bestowing extraordinary qualities upon their very fate.
Everyone in this world dreamed of being chosen by a Sacred Sword, and they were prepared to endure anything for it.
Most people, when faced with a Sacred Sword, would be too busy trying to please them.
In front of such a Sacred Sword, who could be as composed as Jane is now?
Who could be as confident as Jane is now?
By now, not only Jane’s party members, but even Magnus and Toua were looking at him with curious eyes.
-Interesting! Then let’s do this! Jane! Lisir! You two will take my trial simultaneously!
At those words, Camila cheered inwardly.
As a member of the Hero’s party, she knew how demanding a Sacred Sword was.
According to Jane, even Elysia, who is now completely infatuated with him, took more than two weeks to test him and fully acknowledge him as her Master.
Yet, to grant the qualification for the trial right at their first meeting.
It was impossible unless one completely captured the Sacred Sword’s heart.
Camila considered it proof that Jane had completely captured the Sacred Sword’s heart.
“That sounds fun.”
Jane was thinking the same thing inwardly.
He looked at Lisir with a smirk.
“Lisir, what do you say?”
It was a formal question.
There would be no one who would refuse the Sacred Sword’s trial-
“A trial? Tsk… is there something else?”
“…?”
Jane blinked blankly at Lisir’s lukewarm response.
It seemed that he was not worried about the content of the trial, but rather found the trial itself troublesome.
To be given the qualification to become the Master of a Sacred Sword, what kind of madman would show this kind of reaction?
“…Why? Is there a problem?”
“It’s not that, but I have an important engagement tomorrow.”
“An important engagement…? More important than taking the Sacred Sword’s trial…?”
“That’s right? Actually, ahem━ it’s embarrassing to say it myself, but tomorrow, there will be an award ceremony in Bondales.”
“…So?”
“I will be receiving my position there.”
Do you understand what I’m saying?
Lisir looked at Jane with that expression.
“…”
No?
I don’t understand at all?
What are you even saying?
Jane replied with that expression.
Could he possibly mean that receiving a City Official position is more important than taking the Sacred Sword’s trial?
“This is…”
Jane, Camila, and Elysia were all speechless.
-Zallak. What did you say just now? That our Jane has more rough edges than this guy?
Elysia spoke to Zallak without hiding anything.
Because she thought everything was over.
All Sacred Swords possessed immense pride in their own existence.
They were kindly given the qualification to take the trial, yet they dared to treat it as a troublesome chore?
Zallak would never tolerate it.
-Wh-what!? A City Official award ceremony!? Are you saying that you can’t participate in my trial because of that!?
As expected.
He shouted in horror.
The Sacred Sword’s trial.
It is a crucial ritual to verify whether one is qualified to become the Master of a Sacred Sword.
If the legacy of a great Hero falls into the hands of an unqualified person, there would be no greater disaster.
Therefore, the trial was never something that could be finished in a day.
It should be carried out over a long period, pushing the subject to their limits and testing their boundaries.
Yet, to mention a mere award ceremony the next day.
The following action was clear.
Zallak said.
-Then it can’t be helped!
-Hmph. I don’t want Jane to be chosen like this-…
-I will conduct the trial in an abbreviated manner!
-?
-So that the important award ceremony is not disrupted! So participate!!!
-…?
