TENKEN 655 Sympathy

Among us, Urushi and Zelos Reed are in relatively decent condition. No, I don’t mean that they are in a good condition, just that they are not in a state where they are going to die.

Still, they’re the only ones who can afford to supply me with magic power.

Now we just need to figure out how to get them to supply me with magic. Should I take it away with Magic Steal? But in Zelos Reed’s case, what lies within him is his evil spirit.

Even if I were to absorb it, I don’t think I could convert it into magic power.

But come to think of it, I just acquired the Evil Spirit Control skill a while ago. If I were to use that, wouldn’t I be able to convert evil spirit into magic power?

However, that would require Zelos Reed’s cooperation. Then I explained this to Fran for her to get Zelos Reed’s cooperation.

「Oi」

Hey, Fran! I know you didn’t like him, but could you talk to him a little more politely?

「What is it?」

Zelos Reed, however, responded to Fran’s harsh words with a sincere one. His tone was not polite, but it seems that he was willing to listen to Fran’s words.

「I don’t have enough power to help Rhyn and Weena Rhyn. Give me yours」

「All right, take as much as you want」

Zelos Reed then promptly nodded his head. Perhaps he had planned to nod no matter what she said from the beginning.

That’s how quick it was.

But there are also those who are not happy with it.

「Wait, would it be dangerous for unc――Zelos Reed-san? Besides, it should be difficult for a normal human to control the evil spirit」

As Sierra said so, he turned his worried gaze to Zelos Reed. Well, for Sierra, saving Zelos Reed is his main goal. So, I guess it can’t be helped.

I would definitely be worried if Fran were to offer her magic power to someone I didn’t fully trust after all.

「This sword has the ability to control it」

「...I knew it wasn’t just a normal sword, but is that sword really had that kind of ability?」

「Nn」

「But...」

But I think it’s fine to tell them about me. Sierra was also a wielder of an intelligence weapon after all. So, I don’t think he gonna blabber out our secret.

「...What?」

Sierra gave Fran a suspicious look as she showed her sword to him and fell silent. But Fran didn’t care and opened her mouth again.

「This sword’s name is Master」

「Master?」

「Nn. Master, an intelligence weapon」

「What...!?」

Sierra’s face turned into an expression of surprise. He may be putting on a tough face, but he’s still a kid. His poker face tends to crumble from time to time.

『Yo, my name is Master. I’m Fran’s sword and guardian. Nice to meet you』

「F-for real...!?」

「Nn. The Spirit’s Hand will be used by Master」

『We won’t take revenge on Zelos Reed for now. Rhyn and Weena Rhyn are our top priorities right now. Besides, Romio would be sad if we do that, right?』

I’ll just tell him how I honestly feel for now. I thought it was better for me to be honest here instead of lying.

Then Sierra’s expression changed to one of surprise. After a moment of confusion, a strangely happy expression appeared on his face.

「I-is that so!? So, it was an intelligence weapon, huh...」

「Nn」

「...」

「...」

Sierra then falls silent for a moment. He is probably talking to the magic sword, Zelos Reed.

「Alright. I’ll trust you for now」

「Thanks」

I wonder why... I just greet him a little and now he suddenly believed me?

(He’s a fellow wielder of an intelligence weapon after all, so I knew he’d understand if we properly explain things to him)

I thought that was a silly reason, but maybe it really is. He had been sent here from a different time, and the only person he could ask for advice or rely on was the magic sword Zelos Reed. For Sierra, this must be the first time he has met someone like him.

In addition, they were both children who were in a very similar situation. It was no wonder that Fran and Sierra felt sympathy for each other.
