Unplugging Sword

“That sword. Go ahead if you want to pull it, I will watch from sin and start helping when the situation becomes dangerous,” Kino looked at the sword on top of that altar.

He did not care much about making spirit contracts with powerful spirits. If he cared about becoming stronger, then he would head straight for the sword ahead of Claire. The goal of Kino himself is just to travel, and as a gentle traveler, it is not right to steal from others. He will not hesitate to return the stolen goods, but the story is different if it is a free purchase.

In Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World (2003) in episode 2, when she gets a gift in the form of a ring from a slave seller, a, he chose to place the ring next to the corpses of the slave sellers he had killed in self-defense. He also has a sense of guilt and will not take property from others blindly. After all back then, a jewel-encrusted gold ring would not be too useful for him.

But in episode 3 of the anime, in the country of Ramlan, where the inhabitants believe that tomorrow will end, he gets supplies for free when going to buy these supplies. After the prophecy about the apocalypse did not happen, the people who gave the items to them seemed to want to reclaim the items they had given Kino, but Kino rejected it by saying that the items were very useful.

Of course, there is a price difference between a jewel ring and a supply. Supplies have a higher price because the jewel ring will only make itself targeted by others, although it will be expensive if it is sold. Selling a jewel ring will show that he he is rich, while being a rich man makes himself a target of robbing and others. The needs of the tree are more necessary than inedible decoration.

“Fumu.” Claire advanced towards the sword on the altar.

‘It's time, Claire!’ He convinced himself in the mind when he was going to do his job.

He himself knew that it would not be that simple to pull out a sword. It was possible that a fierce fight would occur after he removed the sword from the seal. But despite knowing the worst consequences, there was no way for him to return. He must complete his ambition! Taking his way back and making regres was not an option for him.

Standing quietly in front of the altar, then he held the sword hilt as he said, “Honourable spirit sealed in this sword, make a contract with me and make me your master.”

The sword above the altar started emitting a pale white light as Claire said those words. As if giving a response to speech, he seemed to be rising from a long sleep. The three members of the group were astonished to see the sealed sword coming into action. The three of them still felt amazed by the magical events they had not normally seen in their previous world. Hermes himself is strange from reality, but Kino still thinks this is much different from Hermes.

‘If I were to be his sword, I would definitely ask for salary, working hours, and year-end allowances. In the company and work need to have the right provisions in the work or one party will be exploited by the other. Make a clear deal and have witnesses, eyes to avoid cheating. Don't act rashly,’ Keith's advice in his heart.

“In exchange, I will be your sword sheath.” A wind blew from the sword as its center, but Claire flinched and continued, “I order you, make a contract with me!”

‘Wah, it's not a request, it's an order! I'd refuse to suppose I was that sword, Keith's inner’.

“Successful!” Rikka was excited to see the sword that had managed to be uprooted.

‘Oh... I seem to understand why Rikka Takanashi can be best friends with Claire.’ Keith's eyes fell on Rikka. ‘They are both used to making strange sentences and sounding chuunibyou. They both have something in common. Just like fresh water and fresh water, they can both combine perfectly, in contrast to water and oil.’

“Great...,” Miko also feels great with it.

“Congratulations, yes,” said Kino with a slight smile.

“Succeed! I finally made a contract with a legendary spirit!” Claire became excited and rejoiced to see the sword she had pulled out of the stone.

The appearance of the sword was indeed very tempting to admire. Various streams of wind struck the body of the sword as its origin, with some light encircling the sword. It felt as if the weapon was a legendary weapon and had been sealed there for a long time. This became an incredible feat to possess when successfully taming a legendary spirit.

*ss!*

The sword shattered into dust, as if it were sand from the beginning.

“What!” Claire was surprised to be followed by the group members. They never thought that the weapon would be destroyed. Was there a mistake in this or was the sword indeed worn out and destroyed by time? None of the four of them knew and could only be surprised to see it. But unlike the four, Keith already knew this scene from the beginning….

“Be careful, the real spirit is under the altar, hidden by the previous sword. He'll go berserk after he shows up!” keith's screams could only be heard by the group members.

The three members' attention was on Keith upon hearing the warning. They should have helped Claire immediately, but unfortunately they were slow to act.

‘This guy..., he knows about this, meaning he knows something. How many are hidden as group admins?’ thought Kino.

*cring!*

A bright white light emerged from within the altar.

“Legna!” snapped Kino.

The dove spirit immediately perched on Kino's shoulder and gave him an increase in speed.

*tap!* *tap!* *tap!*

With a quick step, Kino instantly touched Claire's body and carried her back backwards.

“Tung—, what are you doing?” claire asked when she was taken down by Kino.

Keith's shout could not be heard by him, which meant he was left out of information. As a person who knows nothing, the most logical thing to do is to ask.

Kino dropped Claire beside Rikka and Miko before turning on the glowing stone altar and said, “Look! it is a real spirit. What you took was just a trick."

"Ti-No way, right? Though she already looked like that," it was Rikka who said that, and not Claire.

It is quite strange indeed when people who are not concerned even deny it. But Rikka here also cares about Claire, more precisely caring about something that smells chuunibyou. He felt that it was not right if something that had such a cool effect turned out to be just a fake and as a concealment against the real one.

'This girl..., is she no longer able to be helped with her chuunibyou?' keith said in his heart.
