Also, I need to ask you a favor, Leo.

　What are you asking me to do?
　Well, this time I've been stuck in my room for a week and bothered you .....
'Yes, I'm at your service.
　I'll do whatever I can.

That's good to hear. To be honest, I was afraid you'd say no.

What do you think they're going to ask you to do?
　I'm starting to worry about this now: .... Oh, don't say two words to a man!

As a matter of fact, the saint is coming when she hears of the death of the hero.

　Oh, this trend is .....
'Could it be that ...... You want me to entertain that grandson of yours, right?

Oh, you're the man. I hear we have a grandchild about Leo's age coming to visit, so nice to meet you!

Couldn't you have done better, Shelly?
　Wouldn't it be easier for them to be with the same girl, Shelly, than with me?

'The saints aren't royalty or anything, so there's a lot of adult stuff going on if you put Shelly out there: .....

'Oh, I see.'
　It's an adult thing: ....

And maybe the saint will bring her grandson to meet Leo.

　Uncle says some strange things: ....
　The saint wants me to meet her grandson?
Why!

'The saint is so close to my mom that she and my mom still exchange letters, but she probably brags about how cute her grandchildren are all the time: ....

Yeah, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to brag about my grandchildren that I couldn't fit in a letter: ......
Nah, I see. ....

So go ahead, Leo.
　Then the Emperor clapped me on the shoulder.

　Well, it's not a situation I can say no to anymore.
Yes?
　So I was to entertain the saint's grandchildren.


　Then I came home to find grandma waiting for me.
"Welcome home, you look much better.

Do I look that bad?

Yeah, you looked like it was the end of the world until yesterday.

Oh, I didn't know I had that look on my face.

　Is it the end of the world: .....
　Well, I was pretty depressed at the time .
　I really want to thank my uncle and Sherry for getting me this far.

Also, can you do Leo a favor?

　Again?
What? You heard about the saint's grandson, right?

I was going to ask for that too, but that's not what I meant.

'What? Then what?
　What will they ask you to do this time?
　If you think about it, there's something scary about my grandma asking for a favor: ....

　I braced myself in my mind .
'That's what .... It's about my grandfather's sword...

'Jeez, Grandpa's sword? Was it the Holy Sword, I think?
　The sword my grandfather received from the kingdom when he came to this world.
　What am I supposed to do with it?

Yeah, can I have that?
　Take this one: ..... Huh? What do you mean?
　Can I have that sword?

'What? Is it the other way around?
　I'm sorry: .... I feel like I should give it to your uncle.

''The person who can hold that thing, the holy sword chooses the person, just like the magic sword. I tried it on Damien a long time ago and he couldn't get the holy sword to choose me. ....

My uncle didn't: .....

Yeah, so Leo is the only one who has a chance of being chosen for the Holy Sword.

But I do have a magic sword, you know?
　Is it okay to have a magic sword and two holy swords?

That depends on the holy sword.

'But don't you have to be in such a hurry to decide who owns the Holy Sword?
　I feel like I shouldn't bother with two awesome swords, and someone else should be chosen, right?

It is what it is. I'm sure in a few minutes the kingdom will demand the holy sword back. If it's in their hands, they might use it for war.

So you can't do it because there's another owner.
　If there was a chosen person already, the holy sword would belong to that person.

That's what I mean.
　Then Grandma nodded.

'All right, ..... But I'll have to ask Elena if I can try the holy sword first, okay?
　Despite appearances, Elena is the type of person who burns rice cakes easily.

Was Elena the name of your magic sword?

That's right. It was originally the magical sword Ellemena.
　I modified it and turned it into Elena.

Even your grandfather called the holy sword Serena: ....


　Grandma looks somewhat nostalgic .

　The holy sword's name is Serena. ....
'I see... I'll go ask Elena anyway.

　Then I went back to my room and spoke to Elena.
Elena, can I ask you something?

What? You ignored me this morning when I talked to you.

　Oh, you're upset about that.
　I need to make sure I apologize here: .....
(I'm so sorry about that.)　
　I bowed my head to the sword.

All right. You're forgiven for once. So what is it you want to ask me?

(If I were to take the holy sword, would you forgive me?)

That's okay.

(That's a quick answer?!)
　And it's okay: ....

(But only if they admit it.)
　Well, you're right: ....

(Alright. Then let's get to the holy sword.)
　And with that, I'm taking Elena to my grandma's.

Did you get permission to use your magic sword?

There it is. That is, if the Holy Sword allows it.

That's good. Now, take this.
　The sword that had always belonged to Grandpa suddenly appeared in Grandma's hand.

'Did you keep it in the spatial storage?

Yes, he's very important to me.

Speaking of which: "Speaking of which: ..... Where did the contents of Grandpa's space storage go?
　I think my grandfather told me that I have six months worth of food in my space storage or something like that: ....

'Then it's in my space storage.

Why?

'I set it up so that when one of them dies, the contents of the spatial storage go to the other one.

I can do that.

Forget about it and get the holy sword.

Uh-huh. Okay.
　I took the holy sword.

　And then...
(Nice to meet you, Master Leo, my name is Serena. From now on, you may call me Serena, as in Elena.

Do you accept that they are this or that?

(Yes, that's fine.)

(By the way, can I ask why?)

It's a very sweet disposition. I also envy Elena.

What are you jealous of?

　And then Elena was there.
(He's jealous that I had it modified.)

(Because I want to be altered and burned by your gloves too.)

Leo. He's an M. He's an M.

(Heh. Well, I'd rather just alter it.)
　I'm just glad you didn't hate me because I was planning on doing it later.

(Yay!)

"Grandma,

How's it going?

Don't say it.

That's good. Now my worries are over.
　Grandma breathed a sigh of relief.
　Apparently, she really didn't want the kingdom to take it away from her.

That's good.

Also, I just got a call that Dioruk should be here this week or so.

It's been a long time since I've seen you.

What are you talking about? It's not even six months after Leo's birthday.

Yeah, I can see that. I've been having a lot of trouble with my sense of time lately.
　Well, it's only been about six months since then: ....

'Then you should rest for the time being until Diork comes.

Yes, sir.
　I agree. I need to take a break every now and then: ....


'Well then, I'd like to do some mods on Serena!

Yay!

We need to get the magic stone out first.


　As he said this, he pulled out the magic stone that Sebastian gave him from his backpack.

''Huh? I only have two more magic stones that Sebastian gave me!

(How many were there originally?)
　Elena asked me.

Ten.
　That's two more to go: ..... Time flies.
　Huh? You're saying the opposite of what you just said: .....

(Can't we get on with the modding?)
　Serena's gonna have to rush me.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.
　I put the magic stone on Serena.

　And then she uses her creation magic on Serena.

　And then, as usual, it will glow.
　The light settled and completed.

　I've got an appraisal.

　Can telepathically communicate with its owner.
　Its owner can summon it anywhere.
　The ability to do it increases as you level up.
　We have the ability to repair ourselves.
　Lv.1...Increases the owner's health by 1.5
　Creator: Leons Forster

　Since I was in the dungeon the day after I modified Elena, the amount of magic power in the magic stone remained the same .
　So the enhanced part remained the same.
　It's just that the status is the same again...

(Serena, it worked.)

I'm glad. Will you use your momentum to add fuel to my fire?

(All right, .....) (Hang on a second.)
　That's a lot of orders: ..... Well, we'll be friends for a long time to come.

　Put gloves on your hands.
Okay, here we go.
　and Serena to add fire magic with

(Huh? (You're not hot.)

(Oh, really?)
　If you ask me, I haven't said anything about adding magic to Elena until now: ....

(Eh~ I'm sorry.)

　Zah, I'm sorry or ....
(Elena, Serena really is an M.)

Hey, I told you.

(Why do you have such a personality?)

(All swords are "M".)

(Allegedly, Elena?)

Don't get me wrong, but it's not as bad as you.

(Huh?)

(It's not that I'm an M. It's just that being used is what makes life worth living.

(Heh~) Grin.

(What? !)

(Nothing.) Grin.

　Apparently, all swords are M. .....
