ugliness and beauty.

The katana, in which two opposing concepts harmonize, was not lacking at all to be called a masterpiece.

From the moment it was pulled out of the scabbard, the red sword, which spewed out vicious magical energy and gleamed as if thirsting for blood, was extremely ugly.

The blade pattern, like a blazing flame, boasted a beauty that deserves to be called a work of art rather than a sword.

“It’s a masterpiece.”

When the words he had been thinking about involuntarily came out of his mouth, Hardy, who was standing next to him, agreed and nodded his head.

I do not take the word “masterpiece” or “masterpiece” lightly.

It’s because they know that the more you lightly put those words into your mouth, the lower their value.

But now I couldn’t stand it without putting those words in my mouth.

How can I not admire this katana that I have forged, perhaps the most beautiful of all the katanas in the world?

“Old man… What a beautiful katana… ! It would have been better if we could have announced that we made this… .”

Hardy said so and shrugged. I understand that sadly.

You can’t say that you made a weapon you’re so proud of.

It’s like or maybe more than that of a parent who can’t say that they love their child.

“perhaps… Maybe the day will come when we can announce that we made this katana.”

“Yes?”

I heard that magic swordsmen who worship Pier come to the village every year to pay tribute.

Since we broke down statues and played chess in the village, news will come to the Pier family when the period that is presumed to be the anniversary comes.

“If that happens, he will reveal the matter without hesitation, and in all probability, a duel or war will start.”

When Robo fell, it was obvious who the winner of the battle would be.

It was clear that a hellish scene would unfold, where the corpses had accumulated enough to reach the sky and the blood that had flowed gathered to form a river.

And in the process, it will be this katana that cuts more people than any other sword.

“Then, even if you hate it, the katana we made will be known to the world.

“It’s really nice… Can’t you say it’s a happy thing? Because people die.”

“It doesn’t matter if you are happy. Weapons make people… It was created to kill something even if it wasn’t a person. If I do my part, I can say what I want as a producer. but… .”

You say it doesn’t matter who dies, what are you saying, but what will happen if he grabs this katana? .

“… In fact, that is. From the moment I grabbed this katana, I wanted to continue testing this rare sharpness.”

Of course, I didn’t mean to test it with iron or straw. He meant that he wanted to test himself as a human being that he would never normally think of.

Hearing this, Hardy took a step away from me and said with an awkward smile.

“Yes? Whoa, what were you joking about?”

“… … Sorry, but no. You’ve never held this katana since it was finished. Where would you like to catch one?”

Turning the katana and pointing the hilt toward Hardy, Hardy swung his hand.

“… Well, I’ll give you a specification. But if that’s true, isn’t this just a katana, a magic sword or a yodo?”

“It must be so.”

Not all swords were the same just because they used the material of the beast, but this unknown katana was equivalent to a demon sword or a yodo.

Like a living beast, a ferocious magi constantly counting from the sword.

An unusual trait that makes you want to cut people when you hold them.

There is no room for doubt.

This is the devil’s sword. It was a cursed sword that humans should not handle.

“… But what if that person grabs this katana?”

In this situation, there is only one person Hardy is talking about.

I imagined him holding this sword, but for some reason I couldn’t get a clear picture of it.

It was also plausible that he was possessed by the katana’s magic and went to the blood, and the way he masterfully controlled the katana’s magic and handled it skillfully was also plausible.

“… … It is unimaginable.”

If I had been just a weak-willed maniac, I would have said the former.

But he’s not just crazy. At that age, he was a talented swordsman who defeated Robo with the swordsmanship he had learned on his own.

Maybe he could handle it skillfully without being possessed by this katana.

“The worst future may be waiting, but… You don’t know anything until you try it yourself.”

But there’s nothing wrong with being prepared for anything.

“In case you don’t know, immediately find out if there are any death row inmates in the academy or nearby estates. Even if an emergency occurs, it might calm down after cutting a few people.”

“… … Yes, if it doesn’t exist, I’ll make it and save it.”

“… … okay.”

For some reason, those words that would normally have been heard as a joke didn’t sound like a joke at all today.

******

“… … !!”

Amid the terrible pain that didn’t even come out of a scream, I stood firm.

It is a posture only for footing with both hands facing the sword and hilt, respectively, so that you can step forward with your right foot and shoot at any time.

The posture, which has now gone beyond the state of being caught in the body, and is taken even after sleeping and waking up, has not been resolved even in this terrifying pain.

Enduring the pain in my body every time I moved my fingers, I drew my sword.

‘Baldoot!!’

Because there was no voice, it flew away with the excitement inside it, and it was slow enough that even Jessica could avoid it, but it was definitely a footstep.

Like the reputation of making even the dumb open their mouths in the film, the pain that pascotamine inflicted was beyond imagination.

However, after enduring the pain for a few days and enduring it, even though it was a low stage, I finally managed to do it while ingesting poison.

As if praising my firm will, a window announcing the birth of a new skill appeared in front of my eyes.

[Skill Steel Will has been added.]

[Will of Steel] [Rank: A]

[A will of steel that is not shaken by anything. When the mind is greatly shaken, it is automatically activated and has the effect of stabilizing the mind.]

I didn’t really aim for this training, but I’ve got some pretty useful skills.

Will of Steel, a good name. It was a name that was befitting of a swordsman who was really good at foot swordsmanship.

“Mr. Ian? Why?”

To Hori, who couldn’t see the skill window, did it seem like I was staring blankly into the air?

Hori, who was watching from the side, looked at me with a worried expression.

“It’s just something to think about, so don’t worry about it.”

“yes… . If you have any problems with the potion, please let me know.”

“There are many problems. First of all, the problem is that the producer’s hair has gone bad… .”

Having drank the potion several times over the past few days, the idea that he couldn’t change Hori’s crazy thoughts became even stronger.

“Anyway, I’m going to end it here today. For the first time in a state of poisoning, I succeeded in footsteps.”

“I never thought I could move so quickly.”

On the first day I came back, it was over enough to get me up no matter how hard I tried, but now I have grown to the point where I can walk.

“By the way, Mr. Ian, did the pain get any less?”

“Is it less painful? No, I didn’t feel anything like that… why?”

“If it is because you have developed a tolerance to pascotamine, you should try to increase the ratio a little more… !!”

Before Hori could even finish speaking, I lightly banged her head on Hori’s head.

“Ugh… ! I hate it because it hurts… ! I’d rather hit you with your fist.”

“I’m doing this because I say it hurts.”

After that, after breaking up with the tearful Hori, I returned to the dormitory without stopping by anywhere else.

When he returned to the dormitory, there was a letter on the door, just as Otar had sent him one day.

‘finally… !!’

If it’s not my mother who sent the letter, there is a certain person who will send me the letter.

As I read the letter on the door, it was written that, as it turns out, the sword had been completed, so I had to come and find it.

I roughly crumpled the letter I had read and put it in my pocket, and immediately left the dormitory without stopping by the room.

Although the sun had already set, the intermittent streetlights and the lights of the taverns that had not yet closed were illuminating the city, so we were able to reach the blacksmith without much difficulty.

“… … You are here.”

When I arrived at the smithy, Otar and Hardy were waiting for me outside, not inside the smithy.

It didn’t seem like they were both waiting to show me the new katana soon enough that they were both barefoot.

As I approached in a hurry to do something, the two of them stared blankly at me with rigid expressions.

“Have you got anything on my face?”

“… not. It’s just a matter of personal concern, so don’t worry about it.”

Othar’s expression looked very disturbed, but I didn’t ask any more, as I wasn’t really curious about what was going on.

“Yes, so where is my katana?”

“It’s in the forge. What can I do with my mouth, but it’s a masterpiece of my whole body. But there are some problems… .”

“Is it a problem?”

“Yeah, in the process of making the katana, that… turned into a magic sword It is a bloodthirsty demon sword that makes you want to cut a living person when you hold it.”

“Magic sword?!!!”

The magic sword is a rare and powerful thing that can only be counted in the original work.

The one thing I couldn’t make even if I purposely tried to make it was the magic sword, but when I thought that it would fall into my hands, I smiled involuntarily.

“Why do you have such an eerie smile when you said you were made with a magic sword… .”

“What else can you not laugh at? I have a sword that matches my feet so much that it resembles a holy sword!!”

Saying that, Otar said, wiping his face down with one hand.

“… Yeah, you were that guy. As the creator of this sword, I was born after all, so I’m much happier to go to a guy like you.”

“Yeah, then I’ll go get it right away!!”

As soon as I turned around and headed for the forge, Otar grabbed my shoulder.

“wait! Didn’t I tell you that holding on to you makes you want to cut someone? Have you forgotten already?!”

“ah… Of course I remember.”

That’s a lie. The joy of having a magical sword in his hand had blown away his memories for a moment.

“… … Anyway, that’s why we came up with a solution. Once inside, there will be 10 men blindfolded and captive.”

“It’s a death row prisoner or something, so if you want to cut them, cut them. What are you trying to say?”

“Yeah, they’re cheap garbage even if they die anyway. If you want to cut them, cut them.”

Apparently, Otar was worried that I might be possessed by the magic sword, but it was nothing to worry about.

No matter how evil a sword is, there is no way a swordsman who is swung by a sword can use his baldo.

“You worry about everything. I’m not going to kill anyone, so stay there watching!!”

And above all else, when a new katana comes up, it is perfectly natural to want to cut people off, not a curse.

There was absolutely no need to be afraid of such a natural thing.
