Vol. 2 - Chapter 60 - A Creepy Sword



After returning to my room from the onsen, I collapsed onto my bed. The kids were currently having a girls' talk tonight, so I didn't think anyone would bother me.

In the meantime, management of my territory has started to move, and I'd ordered Theo to think up a new name for the territory.

Clothing, food, and shelter were necessary for daily life. We had plenty of food in storage, so the only things left were clothing and shelter.

For clothing, I vaguely remembered some types of clothes from Earth. I wasn't an expert by any means, but I could recreate it. All I'd have to do was train some tailors and leave developing new designs to them.

And in order to develop it into an actual business, we'd need a large amount of thread. I'd caught a glimpse of the completed steam engine recently, so it shouldn't be long before they started developing a spinning machine.

The problem lay in the types of thread. Flax was the mainstay plant in this world. Actually, there was pretty much nothing but flax. I should look around the marketplace for any cotton or silk.

As for shelter, The Radoa Woodlands was bountiful in trees and stone, so I wasn't much concerned with those materials. I was more concerned with manpower; Radol didn't have enough manpower to begin large-scale cultivation.

If we had construction equipment, or any heavy machinery, really, then we could begin cultivation. Although developing heavy machinery would require beginning development from the engine, nor did I have access to fossil fuels.

The world currently didn't realize how important fossil fuels were. They didn't care about obtaining it nor purchasing it, so I should hurry up and start buying the oil fields within the empire. And that would require organizing a search team from my company as quickly as possible.

Lastly were the powerful foes like Blue Beard. I'd been meeting a lot of crazy people from my world, but I couldn't deny that I'd been jumping straight into the fray so I needed to get my abilities up.

On that note, I decided to analyze my newly acquired title, Human Realm.

"......"

I was speechless. The six realms that lead to Buddha, huh. My common sense was being overwritten by fantasy.

Its passive effects were Perfectly Enlightened One and True Crushing Evil and Spreading Truth.

Perfectly Enlightened One bestowed power to those with a strong connection with me. It was probably related to the titles that Stella and the others acquired.

True Crushing Evil and Spreading Truth was an ability for exterminating monsters. It would prove vital to conquering the various ruins and dungeons around the world.

Its special effect, Liberation From Earthly Desires, however, was still in the dark. I guess I'd just have to use it to find out.

".......I have no idea how to."

Just like Goblin Slayer, it'd completely fail if you slipped into your subconscious. It was the same no matter how many times I tried. As it stood, all I had gained was the knowledge that I couldn't use this ability. Maybe there's some kind of condition for it to activate. I'd just gradually look into it.

Come to think of it, didn't the Human Realm reconstruct my mind and body? What were the differences?

I analyzed myself.

"W-wait a moment! I mighta been foolin' around too much."

"......"

I paid the sword, which was shaking its scabbard left and right, no heed and began walking closer.

"Just look. Look at my cute eyes! There ain't another sword as fancy as I!" The sword stood itself up and began trembling.

"So you're taking on a human face now. But it won't work on me---all I see is an evil sword."

"L-look, here's my eyes and here's my mouth!"

"I don't see it. And I don't care to try."

Once again, I bound the perverted sword with Explosive Thread.

"Forgive me!! Girl, no Young Lady!!"

How much more would it irritate me?

"Let me tell you something."

"So you're forgiving me!"

"I, am a guy."

"Uh......what? You serious?"

"Die!"

I set off all the explosive threads.

......

............

..................

"Ya really be going overboard," the perverted sword noted. Besides, I didn't want to hear that from a sword that didn't get a single scratch from that many explosive threads.

"So? What are you?"

"I'm the holy sword, Muramasa. You can call me Mura-kun♡!"

The hell with holy sword. It must've confused itself with a wicked sword. Yup, it was a wicked sword. It fit perfectly.

Still, there was just one problem. All those explosive threads and not a single wound, so it was not like I could dispose of it.

"Are you my enemy?"

"Finally, the connection's stable. You're my master."

"Master? Like I'm your owner?"

That didn't make me even the slightest bit happy.

"That's right. You're the one who made me, in fact."

I created Mura (the pervert)? Not in my memories, I didn't. Which meant it was probably an effect of the Human Realm. No, there wasn't any other possibility.

Was this pervert supposed to be a representation of my subconscious? How idiotic. That was impossible.

"Boss, you okay?" Judo had been sorting through documents on the first floor but came to the garden where he called out to me in concern.

"Yeah, it's nothing. Sorry for raising a fuss." I gave him my gratitude and returned to my room with Mura (the pervert) in hand.

"Hey, do ya have any books with naked people in it?" asked Mura (the pervert).

"I don't have anything like that."

"That ain't no good, Master. You're going through puberty right now; just the time where ya start to enjoy those kinds of books. Ya gotta be more honest with yourself or---"

While being endlessly lectured by Mura (the pervert), I annoyedly tossed several bare swords onto the ground.

"Here, they're naked. Knock yourself out."

"No, that ain't right. Not these lifeless things. I want ones that sparkle just like this---"

I put Mura's (the pervert's) dissatisfied ramblings aside and resumed my thoughts.
