26 Episode XII: A favor.

"And, Leo, I need you to do something for me."

What do you want from me?

Well, this time I've been caged in my room for a week and annoyed.....

"Yes, tell me what it is"

We'll do whatever we can.

"That was good. Honestly, what would I have done if they'd turned me down?"

"Hey, what are you asking me to do?

I'm getting worried now but.... oh, there's no two words for a man!

"Actually, the Virgin is coming when she hears the brave man's death."

Oh, this flow is.....

"Maybe... you want me to entertain that grandson, right?

"Oh, that's right. Leo, they have as many grandchildren coming as you, so say hello!

"Isn't that Sherry, can't you?

Wouldn't it be easier over there with the same girl, Shelly, than me?

"The Virgin is not royal or anything, so there are a lot of adult circumstances when you put Sherry out there....."

"Oh, really?"

Adult situation....

"And perhaps the Virgin will also bring her grandson to see Leo."

My uncle says weird things....

You think the Virgin wants me to meet her grandson?

"Why!?"

"The Virgin is close enough to still interact with her mother in letters, but she probably always brags about her grandson's cuteness...."

Yeah, so I stopped fitting in letters, trying to take my grandson's pride as a corner opportunity......

"Hey, I see...."

"So I asked you, Leo."

That said, the Emperor slapped Pompom and my shoulder.

Well, it's not a situation I can say no to anymore.

"Ha ~ i"

That's what led me to entertain the Virgin's grandson.

Then, when I got home, my grandmother was waiting for me.

"Welcome home, you look so much better."

"Was my face that bad?

"Yeah, he looked like the end of the world until yesterday."

"Oh, he looked like that."

The end of the world.....

Well, you were pretty depressed then.

Really, thanks to my uncle and Shelley for cheering me up so far.

"And I need a favor from Leo."

Ma, again!?

"Hey, what? If it's about the Virgin's grandson, you heard about it, didn't you?

"I was going to ask for that, too, but that's not true."

"Huh? Well, what?

What are you asking me to do this time?

If you think about it, you're afraid of something grandma would do you a favor for....

I'll stand in my heart.

"That's.... I'm talking about your grandfather's sword..."

"Ji, grandpa's sword? Are you sure it's the Holy Sword?

The Holy Sword is the sword my grandfather received from the kingdom when he came to this world.

What do you want me to do with that?

"Yes, would you get that one?

Take it..... Huh? What do you mean?

Can I get that sword?

"Huh? On the contrary?

I'm sorry.... I feel like I should give it to my uncle.

"Anyone who can have that, with the Devil's Sword, the Holy Sword chooses people. I used to give Damian a try, but he couldn't pick me for the Holy Sword...."

"My uncle couldn't....."

"Yes, that's why Leo is the only one who could possibly be chosen by the Holy Sword"

"But I have the Devil's Sword, don't I?

Is it okay to have both the Devil's Sword and the Holy Sword?

"That's a holy sword."

"But don't you have to decide who owns the Holy Sword in such a hurry?

Don't bother with me holding two awesome swords, though I think someone else should be chosen?

"That's what I have. In a few moments, I'm sure the kingdom will tell you to return the holy sword. If the Holy Sword crosses them, they might be used in the war."

"So now that we have the next owner, we can't do it."

If there were a chosen man, the Holy Sword would be his.

"That sort of thing"

That's what I said, Grandma nodded.

"Okay..... but after Elena asks if I can try the Holy Sword first, right?

Yeah, I can see it, because Elena's the type to bake baked cakes right away.

"Is Elena the name of the Devil's Sword?

"That's right. Originally Demon Sword Elemena"

I remodeled it and I turned it into Elena.

"Your grandfather also called you Serena about the Holy Sword...."

Grandma's going to miss it somewhere.

Is the Holy Sword named Serena....

"That's right - I'm gonna ask Elena for now"

Then I went back to my room and spoke to Elena.

(Elena, can I ask you one thing?

(What, you ignored me in the morning even though I talked to you because of it)

Oh, you have that in your roots.

Here, I need to make a firm apology.....

(I'm so sorry about that)

I bowed my head to the sword.

(Okay. Only this time I forgive you. So, what do you want to hear?

(If I were to get the Holy Sword, would you forgive me?

It's okay.

(Quick-answer!?)

And is that okay....

(But if that one admits it)

Well, you do....

(Okay. Well, shall we just go to the Holy Sword)

That's what I said. I'm taking Elena to Grandma's.

Do you have permission for the Devil's Sword?

"I'm out. Except if the Holy Sword forgives you."

"That was good. Well, take this."

The sword Grandpa always had suddenly appeared in Grandma's hands.

"Were you putting it in space storage?

"Yeah, it's important."

"With that said..... where did the contents of Grandpa's space storage go?

Sure, I feel like Grandpa said there's six months of food in the space storage or something....

"Then it's in my storage room."

"Why?"

"When one of them died, I set the other to go with the contents of the space storage."

"I can do that."

"Take the Holy Sword now, rather than that."

"Ugh, yeah. Okay."

I received the Holy Sword.

Then.

(Nice to meet you, Master Leo, my name is Seremena. From now on, call me Serena like Elena)

Will you admit that (ko (...) or (...) et al. (...)?

(Yeah, that's fine)

(By the way, can I ask why?

(That's a kind personality place. And then, I envy Elena)

(What do you envy?

And then Elena...

He's jealous I had it modified.

('Cause I want to be modified, too, and I want to try burning it with your gloves)

(It's Leo. 'Cause this guy is M)

(Heh ~ Well, as long as we modify it)

Ning Ro, I'm glad you didn't hate me because I was going to do it later.

(Yay)

"Grandma."

"How'd it go?

"Say it."

"That was good. Now my worries are gone."

Grandma breathed in relief.

Apparently, he didn't like being taken by the kingdom at last.

"Good for you."

"And I've been contacted that Diorc will be here about this week."

"It's been a while since I've seen my father."

"What are you talking about? It's not even six months since Leo's birthday."

"If you ask me, yes. There's been a lot going on lately, and I've been feeling weird about time."

Right, it's only been about six months since then....

"Then rest for the time being until Diorc arrives."

"Yes."

Right. Sometimes I need to rest....

"Then I would like to make a modification to Serena!

(Yay)

"First, we have to get the demon stone out."

With that said, I give Sebastian the demon stone out of my backpack.

"Is that it? I only have two more demon stones Sebastian gave me!

(How many originally happened?

Elena's been asking.

"Ten."

That's in two more..... time passes fast.

Is that it? I'm just saying the opposite thing.....

(Wouldn't you like to modify it faster than that?

Serena's gonna be in a hurry.

"Yes, yes, I got it."

I put a demon stone over Serena.

And use creative magic on Serena.

Then, as usual, the glow

The light subsided and was completed.

Try the appraisal.

< Holy Sword Serena Lv.1 >

I can talk to the owner.

The owner can summon anywhere.

Increased ability to do it when the level increases

Self-repair capability

Lv.1... 1.5x the health of the owner

Creator: Leons Forster

I was in the dungeon the day after I modified Elena, so the amount of magic in the Demon Stone remains unchanged.

So the enhanced part remains the same.

It's just that the status again...

Serena, you made it.

(Glad to hear it. Will you add a flame to me with this momentum?

(ok..... wait a minute)

That's a lot of orders..... well, we're going to have a long relationship, okay?

Put gloves on your hands.

(Bye, I'll go)

and Serena to add flaming magic

(That? It's not hot, is it?)

(Heh ~ That's right)

If you ask me, you've never said anything about adding magic to Elena before....

(Eh - too bad)

Za, too bad....

(Elena, Serena is really M.)

(Hey, I told you)

(Why, you're such a character?

(Swords are all m)

(They say, Mr. Elena?

(I'm not wrong, but it's not as bad as yours)

(Huh?)

(Beh, it's not that I'm M or anything, it's just that the sword is worth living for.)

(Heh ~) Niya

(Hey, what the fuck!

(It's nothing) Niyaniya

Apparently, the swords are all m.....
