Koro was pissed off and didn't come back anytime soon.
　Horsen spoke to me, leaving the indulgence of the men he brought in as if it were a matter of course.

Your brother-in-law needs a proper weapon.
Yes, I'd like to have a little one.
"Either the legendary white sword ...... or the black sword, which suits my brother-in-law.

　It was the first time I'd ever heard the word.
　I asked the Philosopher's Stone, which I always carry around with me, and it seemed to be the two weapons known as the Sacred Sword and Magic Sword.
　It's a legendary weapon, but it certainly seems to be able to withstand this power.

"It's not so easy to find, is it?

　I grimaced and grabbed Koro's broken sword.
　I grabbed the spot where I had cut (、、、、、、) with a blow and squeezed it tightly, applying pressure.

"How could this happen?
"Oh, no, father!

　Suddenly your father appeared from behind.

　He's smiling with an exultant look on his face.

What do you mean, father, I didn't know if this would happen?
"Hmm, I thought my Alec would one day be on top of the world with a sword.
"You are skipping too much, aren't you usually waking up to the sword ......?
That's right, Alec's sword will awaken.
"No, it means a lot differently, father.
No, that's not it, my brother-in-law was originally in an enlightened state.
"That's right!　That's why we don't call it awakening, we call it being on top of the world.
I see, that's one for you.

　Father and Hossen, they laughed at each other, "Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

　You're still the same: .......

Father, how is this possible?
Oh, yes. Hmm, I picked up the holy sword again because I thought of Alec's rise to the top of the world.
"Yeah!
You're in. That's the Carlyle family for you.
No, this is a love for Alec.
That makes sense!

　No, don't convince me.
　I mean, it doesn't go anywhere.

"Father, what's with the holy sword?
"Mm, that's it!

　As my father raised his hand, several servants came from behind to push a cart.
　On top of the cart is a sword that is carefully placed.

　The air the sword wears ...... is so extraordinary!
　This is the holy sword?

That's funny.

　Horsen seems to have noticed. That's the greatest warrior in the Empire.

Have you tried it out?
No, I couldn't shake it.
"How?
The holy sword chooses its owner, and I couldn't even lift it. Try it, Hosen.
"Oh.

　Horsen put his hand on the hilt of the holy sword.

"Nnnnnnnnnn! AAAAAHHH!

　Hossen's face turned red and he put so much effort into it that he felt as if he was going to cut the blood vessels in his head.
　But the sword didn't budge.

　It's not like he's deliberately trying not to lift it.
　As proof, Hossen's foot dug into the ground with a click.

"Ha, ha, ha ...... no, no, no, I don't think I can do this.
You're only human.
"It's no big deal,

　Again, a chorus of "ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha".
　Then they both looked at me at the same time.

"Come on, Alec.
"Go ahead, brother-in-law.
"How can you be so confident--what?

　Surprised, massively surprised, almost to death at the untimely outcome.

　The holy sword was lifted with a flourish. It lifted so effortlessly it was like lifting chopsticks.

This is ......
"Mm, that's great, Alec.
I knew he was my brother-in-law.

　Putting aside their excitement for the moment, he asked the Philosopher's Stone if this sword was really the holy sword of legend.
　Is this really the legendary holy sword?

　The stone answered.
　It is definitely the legendary holy sword of the human world.
　All these stories flowed through my mind at once.
　These traces of the holy sword were also the history of heroes.

......
Oops, I got a little carried away. Come on, Alec, shake it up.


"...... yeah

　I regrip the hilt of the holy sword.
　I face the direction of nothing.

"Hmm?　Why do you look so serious, brother-in-law?

　Hosen wonders.
　I giggled and strained.
　Maybe it takes the full force of .......

　I unleash the full force of a force I can't yet control and draw the holy sword.
　A quiet slash, a slash that would appear to be just a swipe.

　Immediately after.

　The holy sword shattered.
　It rotted away from the tip and returned to dust.

What?
"Can't even the holy sword withstand the power of your brother-in-law?

　The two people are surprised.
　Immediately after that.

"Thank you.

　The world is enveloped in light.
　In the dazzling light, a man's figure emerges.

　A divine figure--God.

"Thanks to you I am free, I thank you.
"Can I go back to heaven now?　--God.

　Out of the holy sword appeared a god.

"Do you know who I am?
Yes, I made a mistake and was made to become a holy sword as punishment. You can't return to the heavenly realm until you finish your life as a holy sword.
They say you can't return to heaven until you finish your life.

　The History of the Holy Sword that the Philosopher's Stone showed me.
　The details of its birth were outside the scope of the Philosopher's Stone's knowledge, but having actually experienced a reincarnation and knowing Azazel, I could easily deduce the matter.

"You knew and freed me: ...... I see, so it's a kindred spirit.

　God looked at me with narrowed eyes.
　Did you find out about the SSS rank.

"No, no. I'm a person, just a person.
"Let us thank you, child of man, if ......
"Never mind.

　Smiling at my reply, the god slowly ascended into the sky.
　God fading away, the world slowly returning to normal.
　After the blinding light completely subsided, all that remained was the hilt of the holy sword in my hand.

　Now I must apologize to my father for finding me.
　I turned around and tried to apologize to him, but...

"Huh?　Could you possibly see ...... now?

　Father, Hossen, and Koro at a distance.
　All three were stunned.

　Coro opened his mouth and didn't come back, but...

"I see!　It must have been the Holy Sword because it was the crucible of God.
No, but freeing God would be a greater feat, you know?
When you say that, the real achievement is being recognized by God as 'kindred spirits'.
"Sure!

　Three times, a chorus of "hahaha" and "gahahahahaha".

　Now ...... the release of the holy sword is pretty historically important.

That's Alec.
"That's my brother-in-law.

　In their eyes, it's just the usual thing.
　That's what I thought was amazing.
