Aki remained silent while Andrew and Fluffy talked. It wasn't like she could hear them as they were talking in their heads, but she was calm now because she knew that Andrew was using a unique ability.Unique abilities weren't very common, but they weren't rare either. It is said that 1 in 1,000 people have one and for a world with a population even larger than the Earth from where Andrew came, that could not be considered few.
The unique abilities could be very varied, that's why Aki believed Andrew when he told her that he was investigating the red dagger with his ability, since there were unique abilities of the encyclopedia or even analysis type, she thought that Andrew had an ability of that type.
While she was thinking that, Andrew asked Fluffy, "Now I understand your explanation better, but in that order of ideas, wouldn't a weapon with a conscience be difficult to use?"
"It's certainly not easy, but the master is a god candidate, while you are not a god who uses weapons, only the presence of your divinity should seduce an abandoned weapon like this," Fluffy quickly replied.
Receiving confirmation from Fluffy, Andrew did not hesitate any longer and took the red dagger in his hand and immediately felt a current of power invade him. At first, Andrew was a little worried, but then he adjusted to the strange power that invaded him and when he began to relax, he noticed that he was no longer in the office.
He was in a strange nebulous space as if it were the sky surrounded by clouds, and in front of him floated the red dagger that he had taken a few minutes ago. Andrew frowned noticing the strange situation, but he didn't panic, because he could hear Fluffy's voice telling him.
"Master, this is the realm of consciousness of that weapon, it wants to communicate with you." Understanding what Fluffy meant Andrew spoke out loud, "Nice to meet you, I'm Andrew, may I know your name?"
Andrew was very polite, even though his status was higher than the weapon, but he knew that if he wanted to curry favor with this dagger, he needed to give in a bit. Fluffy had also told him that arrogance would lead him nowhere, he had even warned Andrew that if the conscience of this weapon was arrogant it was better not to take it because it would bring him more problems than benefits.
Soon a soft voice was heard echoing throughout the place, but Andrew knew that it was the consciousness of the abandoned weapon that spoke, "Human... No, I sense some divinity in you, are you a god?"
The dagger did not answer Andrew's question but asked a question itself. Andrew was not angry and replied, "I am a candidate for god." The dagger remained silent for a few moments and then it spoke again.
"God Candidate, Andrew, I am the Scarlet Dagger, also known as the Blood Manipulator, one of the seven divine daggers." Andrew didn't react to the presentation of the Scarlet Dagger, but Fluffy suddenly appeared and exclaimed, "Are you one of the seven daggers of Kalos?"
The appearance of Fluffy did not surprise the Scarlet Dagger, but the mention of the one called Kalos did, so it asked, "Do you know Kalos?", to which Fluffy responded by nodding.
Andrew didn't know who Kalos was so he asked, "Fluffy, who is Kalos?", then Fuffly started to explain. It turns out that the mythological tales of Earth were not false in this place.
Sometimes some gods descend in human form to mortal worlds and have offspring, which are considered demigods. Just like in their previous world, the demigods were practically superhuman with great abilities inherited from their godparents.

However, despite possessing divinity, these demigods will never become gods, at most, they will be more powerful, with great abilities and even a long life.
According to Fluffy, Kalos was a demigod who lived more than 10,000 years ago, the son of a god of the forge and a human. As his father inherited the ability to forge and was a great character in his time, he is even considered a god for those who have this job.
He also explained to Andrew that the seven divine daggers were this man's greatest creation and although he did not possess extraordinary battle skills, with these seven daggers, very few were his opponents.
Since Kalos as a demigod had divinity, it was normal for the weapons and objects used by him to be covered with divinity, however, after so much time had passed, it was obvious that it had dissipated.
In other words, the so-called seven divine daggers weren't technically abandoned weapons, yet it didn't change the fact that they were extraordinary. When Fluffy finished explaining, the voice of the Scarlet Dagger could be heard saying, as if it was remembering old times, "How nostalgic."
Silence fell after that comment. The Scarlet Dagger seemed lost in memories of it, so Andrew and Fluffy remained silent, letting the weapon have a moment to itself.
"I assume that the young god candidate seeks my approval, is that correct?" the Scarlet Dagger said again, and Andrew answered sincerely, "That is correct." Silence fell again and after a few seconds the Scarlet Dagger said again, "As a candidate for god you are worthy of using me, but I would like you to promise me something."
The Scarlet Dagger's request worried Andrew a bit, but still, he said, "As long as it's in my capacity, I wouldn't mind helping you." The Scarlet Dagger was silent for a moment as if organizing its thoughts and said, "I would like you to gather my other six brothers and take us to the divine realm to pay our respects to the father of the creator."
When the Scarlet Dagger said the "Father of the creator in the divine realm", he was not referring to the initial creator god, but rather the god of the forge who was the father of Kalos. Andrew fell silent and began to think.
Gathering the other six daggers would be ideal for him, as he knew that gathering them would be very useful, but the problem was that he had no way of knowing where they were and he didn't know if he could gather them before he ascended.
Certainly, it would be a few centuries before he ascended, even so, it was a huge world and the last time these daggers were seen was 10,000 years ago, so finding clues would not be easy.
However, while thinking about that predicament, Fluffy spoke, "Master, it certainly won't be easy, but if you upgrade your eros eyes to the last few stages before ascending it wouldn't be a problem to find them."
This surprised Andrew, since he did not expect that the eyes of Eros had that function, but after realizing that, despite being the eyes of the god of sex and eroticism, it did not change the fact that they were divine eyes, so over time he could see things that others could not.
Taking Fluffy's words as assurance, Andrew solemnly said, "I can't promise something I can't keep, but my divine beast says that if I increase my power I might find them, so I can promise that I'll do everything in my power to fulfill your request."
"Your promise is more than enough and worthy of my recognition", said the Scarlet Dagger, then sent out a strong red glow that forced Andrew to close his eyes from the intensity of the light.
By the time Andrew was able to open his eyes again, he was inside the office and the dagger he had held was nowhere to be seen, only Aki was in front of him with a stupefied look that was hard to notice since she was wearing a mask.
At first, Andrew was surprised not to see the Scarlet Dagger, but then he noticed that it had integrated into his soul and he could summon it when he needed it, so he relaxed, however, Aki was lost because the dagger had suddenly disappeared from her master's hand and she didn't know what was happening.
Looking at the stunned girl in front of him, he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The red dagger is a special weapon and I have integrated it into me". Aki didn't understand what her master was saying, but she didn't ask either.
On the other hand, Carolina and Helena were in Helena's old room sitting in front of each other with serious expressions. "Helena, before you join Andrew there is something you need to know," Carolina said.
At that moment Carolina discovered her blouse showing the mark of a strange heart on her chest, it was her wife's seal and she said, "This is proof that I am Andrew's wife."
After a short pause, she went on to say, "Andrew accepted you as his wife, but I'll be honest until you have this mark you won't officially be his wife."
Carolina knew the reasons, conditions, and advantages of the wife's seal, as Andrew had explained it to her when it appeared on her, and although she couldn't reveal Andrew's identity and what that seal was, she could say its meaning, that's why she went directly with Helena.
Helena, upon hearing Carolina's words, was confused and wanted to ask, but Carolina did not allow it, because she added, "Don't ask the reason, or what it is, you just have to know that without it you are not Andrew's wife."
Carolina's seriousness somehow convinced Helena and that's why she was determined to receive the strange tattoo. She didn't know the reason, she just felt that it was the right thing to do and when Carolina noticed that she understood the seriousness of the matter, Carolina got up and left the room saying, "You should get ready for tonight."
