Chapter 8 Cursed Sword
「Wh-what!? Suddenly screaming like that……!」
Because it was screaming like a demon’s cry, I’m about to drop the holy sword.
If I look again, I think it is beautiful even for me who are not interested in weapons. Lurking inside me is like an evil spirit though.
It seems that there was no rust or chipped blade even though it was thrust into the rocks and left behind. Well… there’s no mistaking it, it’s not an ordinary sword.
When I think about that….
『Guaaaaaaaaa!! I-I’m being eroded…!!』
The color of the sword becomes more and more black.
At first, it was so clean and the holiness atmosphere can be felt, to the point it’s doubtful that this sword getting left behind. But it was eroded by something black.
Eh, what is this, disgusting.
I found out that it started from the handle where my hand and the sword were in contact.
……Ehh…… Is this my fault?
N-no no, there’s no way.
『It’s your fauuuuuult!!』
The screaming holy sword… no, the somewhat blackening sword.
……Eh? Did I say it out loud?
『If you make a contract with the holy sword, spiritual connection will born, so I know what you are thinking inside aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.』
For real!? It’s the worst!!
Damn… This is why I didn’t want to rely on an unknown creature that you can’t understand its existence…….
Now, someone who knows my true nature besides Magali has been born….
Even though I was able to dispose that ugly woman with annoying personality…… Now I have to dispose this one too.
『Don’t think something scary aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.』
So noisy! You!!
『I can’t help it! Do you understand the feeling of your body is being forcibly developed!? Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!! I’m going to chaaaaaangee!!』
Stop it!! Judging from the voice, you’re a man right!?
Don’t say something like development and change things with that voice!!
I felt tired by the holy sword’s horrible screams, but… I see, this guy is suffering now. When I think so, my heart felt refreshed. I’m happy.
『T-this damn villaiiiiiiin!!』
The holy sword is screaming, but in the first place, the bad one is the one that tries to use me.
Doing things for justice my ass. Do it yourself. And with that, I didn’t let go of this holy sword.
Fufufu, clean things get dirty is really something…….
『Guh. damn!! Evil enough to erode the sacredness of the holy sword… are you really a human!?』
Evil huh, your mouth sure is something.
Here. Dye in black more.
『Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?』
The holy sword screaming. And finally, the shining figure disappeared, and it turned into a black sword that created a dark and unapproachable atmosphere.
……Ehh… what is this….
Somehow, the rapid development continues and I can’t keep up….
「Gigi!」
「Gigyaaaa!!」
「Ah, it’s bad!」
It wasn’t time for grins at the holy sword’s change!
Knowing that, the goblins come attacking. Well, that’s right. If there is a prey, they will attack. They’re imbecile.
「Okay, Holy Sword-kun! Now is the time to demonstrate your power!」
I proudly raise the sword up.
Now, use whatever that power of yours, and make a blood festival of those shitty goblins…!!
However…….
「…Huh? Holy Sword-kun?」
Nothing happens. The scene is quiet and I can only hear the disgusting goblins’ voice.
Hey, stop it. Magali will laugh aloud if she saw this.
Hey, show off your power!
『……Don’t wanna.』
「Haaaah!?」
What are you saying, this inorganic material!!
Don’t wanna? Is he sane!!
「Oi! This is different from what you said!!」
『That’s my line!! Even though I’m a holy sword, now I’m pitch black!! Why it becomes like this!!』
When I yell, he yells back.
Like hell I know!!
「Whatever, just hurry show your power! The goblins are already pretty close!!」
The goblins are already nearby because the holy sword says something strange and does nothing.
I really don’t want it! I’ll be beaten!
『Those who don’t treat the holy sword carefully, should taste a little pain.』
「It won’t be a little!!」
Look, those goblin’s eyes that says they’ll torture weak person! Those smiles!
It’s disgusting!!
「Are you sure!? While I’m being beaten, if thing goes wrong, you’ll be taken by the goblins you know!?」
I decided to threaten the holy sword.
However, from his tone, he seems composed.
『Too bad. I’m a holy sword. Demon…… someone who has evil feelings can’t use me.』
「……Right now, are you a holy sword?」
『……Eh?』
From his voice, he didn’t expect that. Did this guy not thinking about it?
I mean, because the brightness and sacredness that it had before I picked it up, I can’t feel it at all from the black color that it have now.
I wonder how many people will believe it if I say this is the holy sword?
Indeed, this may be a holy sword. It’s not that very difficult to take over me, but I don’t think so.
But, this guy now, can I say it’s a holy sword if I see it?
『Eh? No, I mean… I have always been a holy sword. Certainly, I was eroded by the blackness inside of you but…… eh?』
「Rather, can you use your holy sword power now?」
When I said so, I heard an angry voice reverberating in my brain.
Shut up.
『D-don’t underestimate me! No matter wicked you’re, I’m a holy sword you know? Losing my power with just that is……』
This guy speaks as he likes from a while ago, huh. Like I’m wicked or black. After the goblins exterminated, let’s throw him into their corpses.
While thinking so, I wait for the holy sword’s answer….
『……Eh? Can’t, use it……?』
A dumbfounded voice returned.
『Ehh!? Wait! Why am I become unable to use my power!?』
「Isn’t that because you’re just a piece of junk?」
『It’s your fault! One hundred percent!!』
It’s a holy sword that blames people huh…… no way.
However, not only his appearance, his ability became useless too, huh. It’s pleasant.
『Is it okay to show such leeway!? The goblins, they’re pretty close!』
「You idiot!! Do something!!」
『Sudden change!?』
Say it earlier!
As the Holy Sword says, the goblin has already come out to the open place.
Because of the trees, they couldn’t run at full speed, but now it won’t take a minute to reach me.
This’s bad! If Magari is here, I can throw her to the center of the goblins and leave brilliantly, but this inorganic probably useless even if I use it as a decoy.
『Thinking about using another person as a decoy easily, you’re really black, huh』
「It’s no time to say it leisurely! Is there no plan!? You’re a holy sword, right!?」
『U-uhmmm…… If you call my name and use my power, such goblins will be a piece of cake but…… now I’m like a fake holy sword….』
This guy, he’s useless.
『That’s cruel!!』
「Gigyaa!!」
「Gigi! Gigiiiii!!」
Damn, the goblins will get here soon.
I-if things come to this…….
I raise the holy sword to the sky.
『Wh-what are you trying to do!? No way, you won’t just throw me right!?』
I will do it when it’s getting helpless.
『You will !?』
I ignore the holy sword and concentrate with my eyes closed.
As he says, If I call his name that flowed into my brain, perhaps I can somehow use his power.
It’s somewhat dyed black….
But, only this guy that can overcome this situation.
This blackness, a weapon that created an unpleasant atmosphere that made people feel anxious, I knew about it from Magali’s book that I borrow without her permission.
Yes, that name is….
「Cursed Sword!!」
I raised the sword in the sky and declared it. In an instant, a void is born.
The goblins suddenly became loud while their body trembling, and then once again ran to me.
『No no, there’s no way you can’t show the power with that you know? Good grief… are you really a suitable personーー』
That was when the holy sword tried to continue his words further. Something like a black miasma overflowed from the sword and went up to the sky.
『No waaaaay!? What is thiiiiiiiis!?』
The Holy Sword…. no, the Cursed Sword’s flustered voice is reverberating.
Hmph… my prediction was right
