“This is to get stronger quickly!” Quina struck a wall. On that wall—– was a prize list. She had led us to the local [Item Gambling Shop].
“Is there something here that could be of use? If there’s an item, it can be won in the gacha. I didn’t realise that there was such a useful place.”
“No, you’re not mistaken. You can certainly gacha here. But can you win anything here? What do you say, Rifua?”
“Don’t bother. I’ve said it before, it’s too hard to actually win anything.” Rifua was talking differently than usual.
“What? Winning is winning.” Quina smiled sweetly. This girl who was raised in a forest doesn’t really know anything.
“Fuun, that’s what everyone says.” But aren’t you saying the same thing as us?
[Gold Stone: SR Curing Rod (Has Healing and Purification skills)
The item we need for Rifua who can’t do anything is this!” “You’re saying too much! But this is getting to be way too convenient….”
Like the last town we were in, weapon shops do not sell SR ranked weapons. Someone who no longer needed it probably sold it to this shop. For example, skilled adventurers.
“Her level would rise quickly if I loaned her my sword.” “Oh, is that so? Then—-” “That’s no good.”
“Why is it no good?” “Because Jinta is better suited to use a sword, while Rifua does not have the build suited for it.. In any case, does Rifua actually want to fight an enemy with a sword?”
“No, but Jinta’s sword has a skill that anyone can use, and is insanely powerful. He was able to defeat the behemoth with it.”
“…..Then let’s go to the plains and try it. It’ll be special training to see if I can use Jinta’s sword directly.” With that, we left the gacha shop and headed out to the plains.
I handed the sword to Rifua. When she equips it, my stats return to their original state. But I am strong enough to defeat a monster on this plain.
Having missed my presence for a while, Hii-chan came running up to me. Good good, I show her some affection and stroke her. “Raaaar~” she let out a pleasant roar.
“Hii-chan, would you be a good girl and properly bring a monster over here?” “Rar!” Thoom thoom thoom, Hii-chan ran of in search of prey.
Rifua placed her hand on the handle of the sword.
“Somethings coming! –– H-hey? But what’s going on, nothing’s coming out!” “But it was easy for me.” “Please loan it to me.”
Quina grasps it, but nothing comes out. Why is that? When I hold it, the magical patterns come out easily.
“““……?””” We all looked puzzled together. I just handed the same sword to Rifua.
“Rifua, try saying [Black Flames], and the power changes according MP consumption.” “O-okay……”
“….is there something wrong?” “What’s that bad feeling?” “Are you feeling sick? Are you nauseous again?”
“I-it’s different, well then….. Jinta, did you feel anything when you used it?” “No, not really.”
“Liar……. Even this, is clearly strange…….” Mysteriously, Quina who had been touching the sword at that time jumped back reflexively. A hot substance could be felt emanating from the sword.
“I felt a terrible maliciousness….. that dwelled in the blade.” “Malice?” Have I not not felt it? Does it feel like it does not belong to you….. I don’t seem to remember anything like that…… When a new person unsheathes the sword, does it change the required amount of energy needed to use it….?
When I touch it, I don’t feel funny or even sick. Why is it?
There isn’t an instruction manual, and the only thing listed in the status screen about it was [One of a pair of magic swords that burned a demonic deity to death].
“This sword, it doesn’t work, and just makes me feel funny in the head.” Rifua sheathed the sword and returned it to me.
“Rarrar—-” Hii-chan drove a monster wild boar, called a Levonboar (Level 2) in our direction. The girl diligently followed my orders.
I bisected the Levonboar at the same time I drew the sword from its sheath.
“……Nothing strange, it worked fine as usual.” “It did appear to be normal…. why is that…..” “I wonder why that is??” The three of us tilted our heads. Before I won it in the gacha, who used it before me??”
