[Uwaa, the sword is talking!]
For the time being, I examined it with my [Appraisal] skill.
[I thought you were gonna run away, you’re interesting fellow I see. Then, what will you do? Will you buy me?] (TL Note: He has a manly way of speaking. Using ‘ore-sama’ to address himself)
I have looked the other weapons. The only one that I’m able to use right away is only this Greed Black Sword. If you consider the chat function from this sword, I think I can somehow manage it.
[I’ll buy you. I think, we are similar]
[I see… Then, please pay the money to the fat person over there. I feel nauseated whenever I see that bastard’s face]
This storekeeper is really annoying to the last minute. Even if you didn’t said it, I’ll leave the store right away. I will never coming to here again!
I took out the rag cloth from my pocket and wiped the sword to make the Greed that I just bought look clean. However, it seems that I cannot remove the stubborn grease and grime. Although I could clean it with soap… But, I don’t have any money left to buy soap.
[I’ll be in your care, Greed]
[Understood, maybe this is a good chance. Moreover, maybe it’s destiny… I’ll stay with you till the end. What is your name?]
Now that I think about it, I haven’t introduced myself yet.
[I’m Fate Graphite]
[Fumu, I’ll remember it. What will we do now, Fate?]
I have been decided what to do since last night.
And then, after I defeat the goblin, I’ll absorb its power for my own.
Fighting together, encouraging each other when one of us is in pain, and crying together when one of us is sad. A party of heroes was born in the legend that my dead father had told me. My younger self had listened to those tales, eyes shining.
[I’m jealous… A comrade]
I muttered it without thinking. And then Greed said,
[You have me, don’t you?]
[Y,yeah I guess…]
While I was thinking so, I was being called by an armored man whose age was not far from mine.
I am pleased and my tension goes up. Since I have little experience being needed by people. It almost makes me cry when someone tells me that my power is needed.
[Fate, give it up. Even if you have the skill, there is no one willing to make a party with a level 1. You might possibly die in the battle. You also wouldn’t want to pair-up with a weak guy, would you?]
When I heard that I was taken aback. I realised that although I had obtained a greater status and more skills and felt like I had become really strong, I had actually only reached the starting line. Since until now I had only seen trash, I had lost my perspective as to what was actually normal.
[It’s because you and I are of the same kind. Well, you will likely understand it sooner or later]
For instance, if there was someone who was able to steal the powers of those they had killed, that person might try to steal my abilities. And if so then they’ll probably aim to kill me while I’m still weak. At least, that’s my hypothesis based on how Rafal would think in that position. Well, there could actually be someone who thought of something like that about me.
