I used my detection magic to find out the identity of the girl.


''Ah........as I thought, that person is the one who is destined to be.......''


　The girl squirmed and blushed as she mouthed that.

　But still........why are they trying to hide behind the pillars?
　

''Ah........!　But no!　Kurt-sama may not be a nobleman or anything.......and there's no way the marriage will be recognized.......!

　Oh, marriage!
　How did you make that leap?

　And why was she muttering to herself?
　She was a mysterious woman.

''But........Eveline!　Don't give up!　The one we've been looking for, the one we've been looking for, has arrived!　If you give up here, you will fail to be a princess who leads her people!

　The girl said to herself.

　Apparently, 'Eveline' is not someone else's name, but the girl's own name.

　And she is, apparently, a princess.
　If that's true, I don't know what the princess is doing.
　But thanks to that, I know who the girl is without having to check her background. I'm just letting it slip out of my mouth without permission from Eveline, though.

'Well, as long as we don't get involved...'

　And in any case, I don't see any hostility towards me.

　In the meantime, an entourage of what appeared to be the king and ministers came down from the second floor.

'Kurt!　What's the matter with you?　You seem to have lost your mind, but...
No, it's nothing.

　I control the king with my hand as he opens his mouth, worriedly speaking.

"Well. Then ... is that all right?　If you show this much power, I'm sure the Knight Commander and others will approve. He still seems to be unconscious right now, but........

　And when I tried to continue.

Huh, that's not fair!

　Suddenly, with a gulp, the Knight Commander Ark raised his upper body.

''Wow, it's impossible that I could be beaten so easily!　I'm doing something crazy....of course I'm doing something crazy...!

　As it is, Ark tries to get up unsteadily, but his footsteps are faltering.
　I'm afraid that dying is going to be a problem later on, so I used my recovery magic to heal the wound on my back, but the other damage seems to remain.

''An injustice?　What do you think I've done?
Yeah, yeah...　I still won't admit it!
Yeah.

　I let out a sigh.
　How can you do all this and still be able to slam your mouth down without being reduced like that?
　It can't be helped.

''This divine sword on the ground.......a national treasure.......?　That's your love sword, isn't it?
Don't touch me!　It's not for you to touch!

　Ark would immediately try to get his sword back, but he was alone and fell down on his own.

''Hmmm.......so this is the divine sword?''

　Honestly, it's terrible.
　Although the divine spear is a failure, it is definitely something I made a thousand years ago.

　However, this weapon called the divine sword was not made by me.
　Because of that, it's even worse than the divine spear.

　Because it only grants only one magic, you know?
　They even went to the trouble of using a brittle metal called orichalcone.
　This is not worthy of the name of the divine sword.

　That's why.

''....Good. So this is it.
Hey, you!　What did you do!

　Ark reached out with his buttocks on the ground, but he ignored it.
　As it was, he stabbed the divine sword into the ground.

''This sword has been born anew, changed.''
What?
"I have granted you five (...) ten (...) holy spells.
What are you talking about?
''Generally speaking, a sword bearing that much holy magic is also called a holy sword.

　

　Blacksmithing type magic continued to be less good at it than it had been for a thousand years ago.
　However, with this holy sword, he would be able to summon light spirits and easily defeat a hundred or two hundred Dark Demons with this holy sword.
　Even though I'm not very good at it, I can still do this much.

　However - if you can master it, that is.

''Don't be silly!　It's not possible to grant you 50 magics, you know!　Give it back now!

　Ark wobbled and tried to pull out the holy sword that was stuck in the ground.
　However.

''What do you mean?　Why is my sword stuck in the ground!

　No matter how hard Ark tried to pull out, the holy sword wasn't spooked.

''Of course. A holy sword is a person's choice.''
Choosing a... person...?
A Knight Commander who can't even control his magic well would not be able to pull off that holy sword. From now on, you will continue to devote yourself to pulling the holy sword out of your hand.
Oh, no!

　Ark's voice echoed through the training grounds.

　His hair was shaggy and his face was sweaty and sticky to look at.
　It's very difficult to see the Knight Commander, he looked like a vagrant or something.

''This, Konno!　Why can't I pull my sword out!

　As hard as he could, Ark tried to pull out his holy sword.
　Ark was miserable as he tried again and again, falling on his butt.

''Oh, hey, you bastard!''

　Giving up on drawing the holy sword, Ark unexpectedly grabbed me by the chest.

'Get on with it and do something about it!　If you continue to be any more irreverent, I'll throw you in jail!
'Knight Commander Ark!　You can stop being so unseemly!
'What...?　Hey, Your Majesty!

　Ark's face turned fearfully towards the king.
　A quiet anger could be felt in the king's expression.

You have been defeated! To say anything else would mean that I.......treason to the king.
Oh, no... your Majesty...!　I didn't do anything wrong!
'And ... I didn't expect you to be this miserable. Not only in strength, but in heart, I never thought you would be so ugly.
Yeah.
'I'll have to think about your treatment, that is. You should be prepared for that.
Oh, no!

　Ark fell to his knees on the ground with a stubbornness.
　He's not going to let me have any more of a rant.

　Oh well, it can't be helped.
　At least you can get that holy sword out of the ground and then you can come back out.

''More importantly, it's Kurt.

　You don't care about Ark anymore.
　The king spins around and turns back to me.

'What do you think?　Think about it. Will you take his place as knight commander of the land?　Your reward will be bouncy.
"Your Majesty, I told you. I'm a student. I wish you wouldn't talk about joining a group like that.
Uh-huh........that's right. But....!
More importantly, do you want to make an enemy of me?

　After saying that line, I felt that he had gone a bit overboard.
　I wondered if perhaps this line could be seen as hostility towards the king.
　However, the king was.

Ho-ho-ho. That's scary. It's not a good idea to make an enemy of Kurt.

　He laughed good-naturedly at me.

　He seems to be a king who is more knowledgeable than I imagined.

''Also, I'm sorry for taking the liberty of using the national treasure as a holy sword. If I didn't do that, that guy wasn't going to shut up.......If not, I can put it back immediately?
Good boy. The Holy Sword is a magnificent piece of art, no matter how much of a national treasure it is. As a result, it should be fine. But is it possible to make a holy sword easily?　I thought the holy sword was only a mythical story...

　The king looked at the holy sword stuck in the ground and groaned.

'Mythical?　That's not true.

　I said the last thing I said to the king.

"With practice, anyone can do it.

　The same as in the past.

There's no way I'm going to be able to do that!

　When we got back to the academy.
　I was explaining to Lara, Marise, and Cynthia what happened when they were called to the royal palace.

　Then Marise was the first to raise her voice.
　My ears hurt.

''Why is it so easy to make a holy sword!　Are you a god or something?

　Marise put her face much closer to mine and continued to do so.

'That's not true. And I'm not very good at blacksmithing type magic. With a little practice, anyone should be able to do this.
'I don't think so but I hate myself for thinking that maybe if Kurt says so, I might.

　And Marise put her hands on her hips and exhaled.


'I knew Kurt was great!　Not only did the king call me out, he made a holy sword.
"Kurt is the pride of this country. He's the protector of this country.


　Lara and Cynthia seemed to praise me with open arms.

''Anyway ... the reason I told you this story this time was not just to brag about going to the royal palace.
I'm aware of that. You pretend to think it's no big deal that you've been to the palace.

　I actually think.

''I also got the materials for a good weapon called the divine spear (Shinso) Bonnikia...''
There's a lot of tweaks, but so what?
'I'm going to make a more decent weapon anyway, not the sword I'm using now.

　Turning to Marise, who was giving me zit eyes, I continued, "I'd like to go to the lowest level of the Treasure Labyrinth to gather materials for that.


''I'd like to head to the lowest level of the Treasure Labyrinth to gather materials for that.
