I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (Web Novel)

『Then, we’ll use fried fish for today’s curry topping』

「Nn! Fish is tasty」

「Woof!」

「The worst thing about this body is that I can’t eat」

Fenrir let out a sigh as he stared at Fran and Urushi who were enjoying their curry. Well, I can’t say I don’t understand the feeling. Fran and Urushi look delighted eating their food after all.

Even I, who had lost my ability to eat after becoming a sword, was a little envious. Fenrir must have been stimulated by his appetite as well.

「…Huh?」

「Woof?」

After a luxurious meal that could not imagine being in this magical area, Fran and Urushi who were drinking their tea stopped. Then, they stared at the north of the plains.

『Looks like it’s getting closer』

「Moreover, it seems to be coming straight here」

Something with great magic power was coming towards us.

At first, I thought it was a strong magic beast running rampant, but it ignored the area and headed straight from the south. It seemed to be more than just a magic beast.

『Fran, be prepared!』

「Nn!」

「Grrrr!」

Fran and Urushi were ready to respond at any time. I will also have to suspend the analysis at worst. I don’t know what that thing would do, but Fran is my priority.

「Nn?」

「Woof?」

But we were soon relieved of that tension. It wasn’t that the other party had disappeared or anything like that. It was simply that we realized that the owner of the presence was someone that we knew.

The closer they came, the more we realized who the owner of this presence was.

「Amanda?」

Yes, it was Amanda, an A-Rank adventurer, who was coming towards us with tremendous speed. It looks like she was running as fast as she could. At this rate, she should arrive here in a few minutes.

We waited for about five minutes, and sure enough, we saw Amanda running across the plains.

She must have found us at the same time we saw her.

「Fraaan-chan!」

Amanda had spotted Fran and while waving her hands, she accelerated even further.

The goblin that was in Amanda and Fran’s straight line was shattered by wind magic. When Fran saw that, for some reason, she let out a sad voice.

「Aaah! Crooked Nose!」

「Woof!」

Oh, so that goblin was Fran and Urushi’s eternal rival, the Crooked Nose, huh? That goblin has a sense of smell that is unbelievable and can see through all of Fran and Urushi’s stalking. I’m sure they were determined to increase the proficiency of their stealth and stalk it from a distance.

「Huhuー, Crooked Nose is…」

「Eh? Eh?」

「Amanda you idiot」

「Eh? Why…?」

Amanda was confused. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and she was imagining all kinds of emotional things. But then Fran suddenly fell to her knees and started crying. And to top it all off, she got angry.

「U-umm, Sorry?」

Amanda bowed her head, not knowing why Fran was angry.

When Fran saw this, she had no choice but to accept. Well, they were only goblins after all.

「You forgive me?」

「…It’s fine now」

「Thank you Fran-chan!」

「Muguh」

Looking thrilled, Amanda jumped on Fran and hugged her. As she was buried in her cleavage, Fran let out a strange voice. It continued with a series of cheek-to-cheek attacks.

It’s been a long time since they had last seen each other. I guess she can’t help but be a little passionate about it. But if Amanda were a man, I’d ignore the analysis and hit her with the most powerful attack I could use.

「Fran-chan! Now that your Onee-san is here, you’ll be safe now!」

Amanda declared so with a firm face. But Fran has no idea what she’s talking about.

「What do you mean?」

「Because Fran-chan said she was heading to the Plains of the Demon Wolf but has not returned ~. Have you encountered any trouble?」

「No」

Apparently, Fran had been treated as missing.

「But, I’ve said I’m going to train」

「Don’t tell me, you’ve been training all this time?」

When adventurers train in a magical area near a town, they usually return to the town after a few days. It would be a shame to waste the materials obtained, and they also have problems with their food.

However, it was not a problem for Fran, who has Dimensional Storage. Well, it would be difficult for a normal adventurer to stay in a dungeon or magical area for a long time, but Fran can do it.

「At Alessa’s guild, Nell was worried that Fran hadn’t come back, so I came to find you」

「Nell knows about my Dimensional Storage though」

「Fran, you should be a little more aware of how awesome you are」

There is a Storage skill in space-time magic, but it is usually not as useful as ours. In the first place, I can use the Storage skills, but I’ve rarely used them.

Because Dimensional Storage was a better version of it. It can be activated instantly, the entrance is big, and its capacity is overwhelmingly large. Moreover, time does not advance inside. Well, it’s a special skill that specializes in that after all.

Normal Storage skills can’t hold anything as big as ours nor can it hold as much. And unless you’re a proficient user of it, time will pass inside of it.

「Besides, this is a Grade-A magical area you know. No matter how strong Fran is, if she doesn’t come back for a month, I’ll worry about her. Well, guild master laughed about this though」

Amanda also thought that something might have happened and came to the Plains of the Demon Wolf in a hurry.

「Besides, Master wasn’t with you, so I figured there must have been some unforeseen circumstances. Master, what’s wrong with him? I mean, with his magic power is…」

Amanda is pained while looking at me like this. It seems that while I’m plugged into the presence, my presence is almost imperceptible to others. Therefore, to Amanda, I must look like a magic sword that has lost its power.

She asked Fran with a look on her face as if she was asking something hard to ask. Well, if she knew the relationship between me and Fran, it would be hard for her to ask after all. It’s like asking her why her partner has died.

However, I have already discussed with Fenrir how much I can explain to Amanda.

『Should I say thank you for worrying about me? Or complain about making it seem as if I’m dead?』

「Eh? Master, are you okay? I thought you were…」

『This pedestal was created by the Divine level blacksmith who made me, and it’s supposed to keep my power from leaking out while I’m stuck here』

「Heeー. That’s great to hear then. But, by a Divine level blacksmith? Is Master a Divine Sword?」

『Hahaha, no, I’m not. I just a sword made by a Divine level blacksmith』

I’m not lying. I am not a Divine Sword now.

「We’re here to repair master」

『This pedestal also has a lot of functions』

「Repair? What had happened?」

As expected, I could not talk about Fenrir or the Gods. So, I decided to use Elmera, a Divine-level blacksmith to explain that I was under maintenance.
