Naturally, Ms. Leia disagreed.

She said there was no limit to what she could do with her skills.

So I countered.

I told him that I would use my limited skills to defeat the best weapons.

I meant it seriously, but it sounded so ridiculous to Leia that she seemed to lose her temper.

She huffed and said, "I understand ....... I'll bet on you," she said.

Then I couldn't fail her.

However, if I can't establish a fighting style, she won't be able to start making weapons either.

There are only 10 days left until the day of the festival.

Assuming it takes at least a week to make a weapon, there are only three days left.

In those three days, I had to acquire the skills to be able to stand up to the best of the best.

I have the "phoenix" skill, my stamina is inexhaustible, and I can perform fire-attribute techniques, so if I wanted to, I could probably get by with a decent weapon.

But what should I say?

This time, I knew it wouldn't be enough.

Ms. Leia decided to seriously face me.

If that was the case, I wanted to seriously face my potential, too.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph."

So, in order to find the best weapon for me, I took the inexpensive weapons that I borrowed from Ms. Leia and went to a grassy field outside of town to do some swinging.

Orya!

--Boom!

But it's a strange thing, I feel like it all fits together. ......

Even now, I tried swinging an axe as hard as I could, but it felt right.

"Choosing a weapon is surprisingly difficult. ......

The actual "I'll be able to't get a good deal more than this.

The actual "I'm not sure what to do" attitude is a good thing.

Hey, Fio. Have you finished helping Leia-san?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help her out.

Thank you, I was just a little hungry. I was just a little hungry.

I'm glad to hear that.

I bite into a piece of bread with a big smooch.

The bread was a little hard, but that was nothing to worry about.

In the middle of the conversation, I asked Fio about it.

I asked Fio, "Hey, Fio. What do you think is the right weapon for me?

Is it the right weapon for you, Iguza-san?

Yes.

"Well, I don't really know, Fio, but what is your favorite weapon, Iguza-san?

My favorite weapon?

Yes."

Once again, when you put it that way, I'm lost.

The sword goes without saying, but the spear is also easy to use once you get used to it, and the bow is also very cool.

The axe is also a "Han" feeling. ...... hmmm.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what to choose. Let's see,...... what weapon do you think is the strongest,......

The strongest weapon. ......

That might be ...... the sword.

I've been looking at it for a long time.

The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at the actual product.

All the damage she has suffered.

That is to say...

"...... I see. So that's how it is.

?"

I swallowed the bread in my hand at once and said to Fio-chan, who was making a curious face.

Thank you, Fio!　I think I've got something!

◇ ◇

The day of the festival arrived.

I was in the center of the arena amidst the cheers of the crowd.

Of course, Fio and Leia were in the audience, both of them anxiously watching the outcome of the match.

The man facing me was a large, muscular man in full plate armor, and his weapon of choice was a huge long-handled battle axe.

If I were to take him seriously, a fatal wound would be unavoidable.

I am immortal, and I have no intention of taking the hit.

Is that your weapon? I had heard that it was a weapon from blacksmith Rahula's store, but it is a very unbalanced dagger. The handle seems a little too long.

Yes, it does. So this is not a dagger.

What?　Then what is it?

Boom!　The bell rings to start the match.

--Goh!

What?"

At that moment, a blade of condensed flame appears on the weapon I hold, and the man opens his eyes in astonishment.

Yes, this is not a dagger.

This is not a dagger, but a weapon to convert the power of Hinokami-sama that lies dormant within me--in other words, flames into a blade.

It is called the "Magic Blade Sword Hinokaguzuchi. That is the name of this weapon.

"Magic Blade Sword, Hinokaguzuchi ......"

The man mumbled as if ruminating, but he said with a smile on his face.

I see. The name is a big one, but in the end it is just an attribute weapon, isn't it?　It's also a weapon with a shape that places a premium on speed.

In other words," said the man, swinging his battle-axe and holding it up.

And.

I'm a defensive specialist, that means I can't use it!

--BUH-UNH!

He attacked with all his might to finish me off.

But...

--Gakin!

Gugu!

I repelled it with a tremendously fast blow.

◇ ◇I had a childhood friend.

I had a childhood friend.

She was talented and I was incompetent.

So I took all the damage instead of her promising future.

No matter how trivial the damage or the load, I took the place of everything.

For years and years, I took the same damage as she did with her "Kensei" skill.

The exact same load was given to my body.

In other words, it was the same as if I had the "Kensei" skill.

Then there was no way I couldn't do it.

I can use long swords, double swords, narrow swords, double swords, and large swords - there is no way I can't use all sword techniques.

--I can't use all the sword techniques.

What?　You changed into a double sword?　--What?

After splitting the hilt into two and delivering a series of blows at blinding speed, I put the hilt back on one again to reveal a blade of flame.

The next thing that appeared was a huge blade that could cut down even a flying dragon with a single stroke.

Wait, wait..."

Elma can only use the holy sword.

Then I, who can switch weapons instantly, am stronger than the saint!

--Zugan!

And so, an unrelenting blow was struck down on the man's head.
