Chapter 104: Anyway, Let’s Touch It With My Right Hand First

Normally, the Hero's Sword would look no different from an ordinary sword. The only thing that differentiated it from ordinary swords was the magic patterns engraved by God. These magic patterns could not be imitated no matter how much one tried, allowing others to instantly recognize that the Hero's Sword was not a forgery.

In other words, under normal circumstances, the Hero's Sword wouldn't suddenly start flying on its own accord, nor would it give off a golden glow. There must be some special reason that had caused the Hero's Sword to suddenly gain such a function.

Although Alice didn't know why the Hero's Sword had suddenly started behaving like this, she knew that she would know what had caused these changes so long as she checked it out with her right hand. So, without hesitation, Alice reached out for the glowing Hero's Sword's hilt with her right hand.

Fortunately, while the Hero's Sword might have suddenly started moving on its own, Alice still had the right to use the sword. So, the Hero's Sword did not try to break free from her grip and allowed her right hand to recognize it as a weapon like normal. Subsequently, the Hero's Sword's information also appeared in her mind.

…

…

Sure enough, an extra skill had appeared at the bottom of the description. Only, looking at this skill confused Alice a little. What did it mean by answering the Hero's call?

However, Alice quickly understood what it meant since after she had wielded the Hero's Sword, she, too, had gained the passive effects of the Hero's Call skill. In other words, Alice could also hear the "Hero" calling the Hero's Sword, as evidenced by the soft female voice currently echoing in her head:

"Enheria, bring your master to me."

Enheria?

Alice was momentarily stunned. Then, she quickly realized that it was the Hero's Sword's previous name. After messing up the Hero's Sword's name twice in a row, Alice had almost forgotten that the sword was originally called Enheria.

Evidently, someone was calling out to the Hero's Sword right now. Moreover, this person must not know that Alice had acquired the "Hero's Call" skill and could also hear her call.

Since the Hero's Call skill only works with the Hero, doesn't this mean that the person currently calling out to the Hero's Sword is a real Hero?

Alice frowned. Aird should be the current generation's Hero. Not only did Alice verify this with her right hand, but even the Loli Goddess, the God of this world, had personally acknowledged that she had appointed Aird as this generation's Hero.

However, although the voice that just rang in her head wasn't very loud, Alice was sure that it wasn't Aird's voice. Moreover, Aird should be in the demon realm right now, so she wouldn't have any reason to call out to the Hero's Sword.

Alice had a faint guess of who the other party was now. So, she calmed her heart and spread out her senses.

Going by the skill's description, she shouldn't be limited to just hearing the Hero's summons. She should also be able to give a response.

Sure enough, shortly after Alice spread out her senses, she could vaguely perceive the direction of the person calling out to the Hero's Sword. Then, she turned to Luna, who stood beside her, and said:

"Someone's calling out to the Hero's Sword. I plan to meet her. Do you want to come with me?"

As a former Demon King, Luna was an existence that had drawn upon some of the Demon King's Power's strength. She was already qualified to participate in the fight between the Hero and the Demon King. If it came down to a fight, even the demon realm's Four Heavenly Kings wouldn't last more than a few moves against her. —Of course, Aird the Hero was an exception.

"It is naturally my duty to follow you as your maid," Luna said, nodding. "Moreover, you still lack any conventional means of combat, right, Alice? You can only rely on casting taboos once a fight ensues. I can help solve your problems during such predicaments."

"That's true."

Alice had no words to refute Luna. It was true that she lacked conventional means of combat right now. Once a fight began, she would have to use her panties to cast taboos. However, that would create a huge commotion, and she honestly didn't wish to cause a huge scene on her first day of school.

"Let's go before people start showing up, then."

Fortunately, it was currently lunchtime, so there was nobody by the school gate, so Alice could boldly run about with the Hero's Sword in her hand. Moreover, even if they came across the occasional passersby, she could simply have Luna erase their memories. Unless she caused a massive commotion to a point where Luna couldn't handle the situation, she wasn't all that worried about people finding out her identity.

With the Hero's Sword in hand, Alice led Luna to the woods on the campus.

With how massive the academy campus was, it was only normal for it to have some natural vegetation to beautify the scenery. In fact, the woods accounted for a considerable part of the campus. There were even many magical creatures raised in the forest. During the short time Alice had entered the forest, she had encountered many small animals roaming the woodland already. She even spotted Milu Rabbits.

However, unlike the unconscious Milu Rabbit hanging off Alice's waist, these wild Milu Rabbits weren't very smart apparently. They even dared to hiss and bare their teeth against Alice.

Soon, Alice located the source of the voice—a small clearing in the middle of the forest. The circular clearing looked unnatural in this lush forest. Moreover, a small stone monument was erected in the middle of this clearing. At a glance, anyone could tell that this stone monument wasn't normal.

However, many people should have visited this place frequently, judging by the footprints decorating the clearing. And judging by the fact that the monument still stood here, the students and instructors who visited this place must not have noticed anything special about it.

But Alice was different. Although she, too, couldn't see anything special about the monument, she could see something else.

Under Luna's gaze that said "I knew it," Alice inserted the Hero's Sword into the ground and walked up to the small monument. Then, she crouched down and touched it with her right hand.
