[Ego... what?]

Anor-lsil was bewildered.

What was this insolent human babbling about?!

Did he just give this elegant and beautiful sword a tasteless name like 'ego sword'? Now?!

[We're not 'ego swords'! You idiot!]

"[Oh? You're not?]"

[That's right! Our name is Anor-lsil!]

"[?]"

In truth, 'ego sword' was just a term that popped out reflexively when Ian saw the talking sword.

It was a common magical artifact in fantasy settings.

Isn't a sword with its own consciousness an ego sword?

While Ian was clearly a resident of this fantasy world, he hadn't seen a proper magical artifact until now.

So he was fascinated by Anor-lsil, which had suddenly (?) gained consciousness.

But Anor-lsil seemed to misunderstand that 'ego sword' was a name Ian had given it.

'It really has changed in an interesting way.'

Ian recalled the words of Hrundal, the northern god.

Her advice was not to be too surprised if Anor-lsil changed strangely.

[Don't get too angry, sister... This is the first master we've ever met.]

[I don't like an idiot who doesn't even know our name as a master! Really!]

At that moment, two apparitions appeared above the blade.

They looked similar to fairies, but were beings belonging to mystery.

[Hello? Master?]

The blue fairy greeted elegantly.

[My name is Isil. I'm the moon's representative. Sister, hurry up and say hello.]

[... I'm Arno. The sun's representative.]

The red fairy spoke as if grumbling.

Sun and moon.

The two powers combined to form Anor-lsil.

'Did the mysteries appear because Anor-lsil's power got stronger?'

In this world, there were mysteries close to humans, and those that weren't.

Natural elements like earth, rivers, wind, water, and fire constantly clashed and communicated with humans, being aware of each other's existence.

But lofty and noble beings.

Mysteries like mountain peaks, underground magma, lightning above the clouds, and the sun and moon never got close to humans.

Not only was contact extremely difficult, but they weren't friendly to humans, so it was easy to lose one's life.

'... I guess they're weakened versions of the sun and moon.'

Ian thought as he looked at Anor-lsil's mysteries.

There was no way the real sun and moon mysteries would speak to Ian. He wasn't that level of wizard yet.

These were weakened versions of the mysteries through Anor-lsil.

That's probably why they called themselves 'representatives'.

"Ian. How is it?"

The Fairy Queen asked carefully.

"The sword's gotten noisy."

"?"

Was that good?

The Fairy Queen wasn't sure, but decided to take it positively for now.

"From now on, even if your sword gets stronger, we won't need to borrow its power."

Ian nodded.

He had already noticed this while readjusting the rune stone.

"I hope Anor-lsil will be of help when fighting against dragons."

Ian smiled and held out his hand.

"Even if I don't use it on dragons, I'm sure it'll be useful someday."

For instance, when meeting the Sky God.

The Fairy Queen also smiled and shook Ian's hand.

"I see. May the fairy's blessing be with you, wizard Ian."

"Thank you for your support."

Ian left the village with the Fairy Queen seeing him off.

Ian draped the additional fairy silk the Fairy Queen had given him over his arm like a towel.

As he had felt before, it was certainly high-quality fabric. It wouldn't lose to modern factory-made fabrics.

"Oh. You're all here?"

The wizards seemed to be preparing dinner, with a flat pot placed over a small campfire.

"Hm? You're back already?"

Mani started to get up but stopped.

The sword's mysteries answered with perfect timing.

As expected, those guys were connected to the Sky God.

Just the fact that they were female forms gave that impression.

'The Sky God told me to strengthen Anor-lsil.'

It seemed it was difficult for the Sky God to speak directly to Ian, but possible to approach indirectly through Anor-lsil.

Arno and Isil would probably take on the role of communicating with the sun god on Ian's behalf.

[At first, we were created by the fairy race.]

[But it was you who awakened us, master.]

[Hey! If you say that now...!]

Arno glared at Isil, but Isil ignored her and said what she wanted to say.

She was unexpectedly strong-willed.

[Sister might not know, but I'm grateful to you, master.]

Isil bowed her head to Ian.

[Thank you for awakening me.]

[Urgh...!]

Arno also spoke haltingly.

[I, I also... think the master is quite decent, you could say? A considerably useful master, you might say...?]

[Sister. There's also a word called 'thank you' in this world.]

[W-What do you want me to do!]

Ian quietly listened to the sword's mysteries chattering.

He hadn't intended to create something like an ego sword.

But as he strengthened Anor-lsil, the sword gained consciousness.

[You have encountered the unfinished true Anor-lsil!]

[A new destiny has been pioneered!]

'Huh?'

Messages suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Ian habitually pulled out his Arcana deck.

Drawing one card, he found the 10th card, [Wheel of Fortune], in his hand.

An illustration of a pale moon overlapping a giant sun.

'A new card appeared this time?'

Nothing had happened for a while. As soon as he awakened Anor-lsil, a new card was created.

'A new destiny...'

Ian put the Arcana card in his pocket.

"Well. I don't know what will happen from now on... but I'm counting on you guys."

[Yes. I'll do my best to help you! Master!]

[I-I'll work hard too.]

After returning to Talian domain, Ian quickly finished his travel preparations.

Talian's food situation should be fine for a while.

He needed to have a talk with Duke Araz before he rushed off to the dragon.

"Then I'm counting on you, Sam."

"You can rely on me!"

After commissioning Sam to create an anti-dragon weapon, Ian went to find Salvador.

He wanted to check how much of the Knights of Santiago's journey preparations were complete.

But surprisingly, only about half of the knights' preparations were finished.

"Sir Salvador."

"Ah. Ian, my boy. Welcome."

When Ian asked for details, he was told that about half of the Knights of Santiago would remain in Talian domain.

"They're staying here?"

Ian was slightly surprised.

What's this? Could it be people who want to swear loyalty to Talian?

But that wasn't it.

"There are too many monsters roaming outside, you see."

"Monsters..."

Ian recalled the orc horde that had been chasing Mani.

"We're leaving people behind just in case."

It was a force to prepare for monster invasions.

If that was the Knights of Santiago's decision.

"Ian, my boy. Are you ready to depart?"

"Yes. We can leave right away."

Ian, Lucy, and the Knights of Santiago finished preparing to head to Duke Araz's territory.
