I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)
Chapter 354
As Fran and Alistair were talking, Mea joined in the conversation .
âThat conversation just now⦠Does that mean Alistair will undertake the restoration of the sword?â
âYes . That is, if the girl allows it, I will work on itâ
âYou should allow Alistair to repair it Fran . I mean how often do you get this kind of luck?â
Mea and Alistair look at Fran .
(Master? Is it fine?)
ââ¦Yes, Iâll leave it to you . â
In the first place, this woman healed me and made it tremendously easy for me to use the telepathic ability without feeling any pain . I felt like I could trust her skills . Above all,Mea gave an obvious sign that she deeply trusted Alistair from her fervent expression that seemed to have come from the bottom of her heart .
âHmm, then, please . â
âYes, Iâll take good care of it . So, what are you guys going to do after this?â
âYeah⦠about thatâ¦â
Mea turned to look at Kiara . Kiara, who led everyone all the way up to this point, was dead, and Mianoa was incapacitated . Quina was only a maid and Guendalfa is still inexperienced . Asura just lost consciousness, and Fran was not fit to be a leader yet either .
Mea was the only person who could possibly hold this group together . She must have realized it as she looked around . She turned over slowly, rubbed her red eyes lightly, and then quickly looked up .
âFirst of all, we have to make sure that the master of this dungeon is really dead . After that, we will destroy the core . â
âAre you sure? Wouldnât it be a waste to destroy this large and valuable dungeon?â
Quina asked Mea, who answered Alistairâs question . But Mea nodded with certainty .
âIt will only be another potential source of future disaster, especially a dungeon that spanned between two countries like this one . If we left this dungeon be it would spur a conflict between nations for ownership since a dungeon is a great source of incomes . â
Well, even if any country eventually gains ownership of this dungeon, the other countries will still remain suspicious and be on guard against them . The fact that it was used for the war will have caused it to always have that image attached to it . However, the benefits of having power over the dungeon was too great for any parties involved to give up on fighting for ownership . Unless all sides created a clear-cut mechanism for co-governance, it would surely lead to conflict at some point .
Nonetheless, there was no way the Beastman Nation and Bashar Kingdom, which were already not on speaking terms with each other, would join hands and share such an extraordinary bounty . Their relationship would most likely only worsen as times goes by . Thus, destroying the dungeon would nip any future problems in the bud . Apparently Mea thought so too .
âAs a royal family, we might have to consider the useââ
âNo, I agree with you . â
Also, considering the character of the Beast King, I feel like Iâm in favor of destroying the dungeon . Itâs like theyâre going to say, âIf itâs going to be a lot of trouble, letâs go ahead and destroy it instead . â Anyway, Mea seems to have decided to destroy it herself . There was no hesitation in her eyes .
âMe and Quina will go deeper . Lady Alistair, please take Fran and the others and get out first . â
âWell, since you have shown me your sword . Fine . Iâll take care of them until we get out of here . May I go straight to my house?â
âIf we canât catch up, weâd appreciate it if you could . â
âWhat will you do after that?â
âIâm going to take Quina and the others back to Gringote . I have a lot of things I want to find out and research . But I want to entrust Fran and her sword to Alistair . Is that fine with you? â
âNo problem, and Iâd like to take a closer look at that sword too,of course that is if thatâs okay with you . . â
âIs that alright with you, Fran?â
ââ¦â¦Hmâ
Fran reluctantly nods .
âIâm sorry . â
(No, Master is the most important thing right now . )
I think she actually wanted to go with Mea . But I swallowed my words, understanding that my restoration was top priority right now .
âAnd what about that stupid demon over there? If you want, Iâll take him with us . â
It could be said that she was acquainted with Asura as well . Itâs not simply a feeling of familiarity, but more of a sense of comfort . After thinking a little, Mea bowed to Alistair .
âCould I bother you with that?â
âAccepted . â
Alistair approached Asura, who was lying on top of Guendalfaâs cloak . She carried him up easily . Contrary to her slender frame, she was actually so powerful!
âAnyway, we need to get out of here . I think we should give Kiara a proper burial too, donât we?â
âThatâs rightâ¦â¦ . â
âCould you please take care of Lady Kiara, Lady Fran?â
âI understand . â
Fran nodded at Mianoaâs words and put Kiaraâs body away in her dimensional storage . I felt like storing the bodies of people I knew in dimensional storage was treating them like objects, and for a moment I wondered if that was okay, but apparently the rest of the guys didnât feel any particular sentiment about it except for me .
This is a world in which death was much more familiar to us, and that the way we thought about corpses was also different and more serious . If left alone alone, they could potentially become undead . The idea seemed to be that because of the concept of the soul in the first place, after you died you were no longer there .
After quickly getting ready to leave, we headed straight for the dungeonâs exit, with Fran and Urushi in the lead .
After quickly getting ready to leave, we headed straight for the dungeonâs exit, with Fran and Urushi in the lead .
It took longer than I thought it would because everyone was still worn out, but it wasnât as particularly dangerous due to the lack of monsters .
Iâve tried it lightly on the road, but apparently Franâs and my skill sharing was already starting to work well . That was the only blessing I received in this whole bundle of misery . However, since my magic power was empty, I had to make do with just Franâs magic power for now . We will have to be very careful about that .
While we were going through the labyrinth part of the dungeon, the dungeon started trembling greatly . Itâs likely that Mea and her team have succeeded in destroying the dungeon core .
Then, just before escaping the dungeon, Mea and the others caught up with us . Then, they reported that the core was destroyed and the dungeon was on its way to collapsing . Thus, from now on, this place will be nothing more than an ordinary underground structure .
âWell, I guess this is goodbye for now . â
âHmmâ¦â
âA lot of things happened, but letâs meet each other again in the future . â
ââ¦â¦Good luck . â
âThank you . We will also pray for Masterâs recovery, and hope that he will be able to heal properly . Also, can I leave Master Kiara with you for a little while longer? Once we get settled in, we will arrange a funeral for her, after all we want to make sure the funeral service goes off without a hitch . â
âLeave it to me . â
After escaping the dungeon, Mea and Fran gave each other a firm handshake and encouraged each other onwards .
We are supposed to still be at war with the Kingdom of Bashar . I donât know what will happen in the future, but Iâm sure they wonât lose now that the threat from the North has disappeared . They should be able to repel the kingdom of Bashar .
No, they have to⦠otherwise, it wouldnât be worth it for Kiara to risk her life . And I am sure that Mea understood it as well . With one last emphatic nod, Mea left with Quina, Guendalfa, and Mianoa .
As Kiaraâs apprentice and a princess, I am sure that she has a lot of responsibilities, especially now that Kiara is no longer here, she will surely bear more responsibilities . Though thinking how much that small back of her has to endure from now on I canât help but want to root for her .
Fran stared off at Meaâs back and the others as they climbed into the carriage .

âWeâll see each other again soon . â
âHmm . â

After the golem carriage which Mea and the others were in rode off, Alistair spoke to a lonely-looking Fran .
â⦠. . Should we get going now too? But first, you may have an idea who I am by now, but Iâll tell you who I am anyway . â
âHmm . â
(To get Bonus Chapter Donate to RNF)
âMy name is Alistair . My occupation is a divine blacksmith . A pleasure to meet you, Black Thunder Princess and⦠. Mr . Intelligent Weapon?â
(For faster release read at RNF)
I knew it . I got found out . But still, a divine blacksmith? I thought it was possible that she was in charge of taking care of the divine sword, but I didnât think it was really trueâ¦â¦â¦
There was just so much going on that I didnât have the energy left to be surprised anymore . Fran looked to be the same . She opened her eyes lightly and introduced herself normally .
âI am a rank C adventurer . Fran, the Black Heavenly Tiger . â
ââ¦I am Masterâ
âHoo!â
âAnd this is Urushiâ
âBy the way, is Fran the one that gave you the name master?â
âHmmâ¦â
âSo itâs not namedâ¦â¦ . . How is it possible to not be named at this level?â
Wasnât the Named system supposed to be a way for gods to name their great equipment? Iâd be honored to be compared to an item in that class, but what about it? Iâm aware that Iâm a good sword, but Iâm not overconfident enough to say, âIâm a sword accepted by God! Now bow before me you fool!â
âFor now, weâre going to my house . Once we get there, I should be able to analyze and repair your master . â
âI look forward to working with you . â
âThank you . â
âItâs the same for me, I get to touch a great sword, thanks to you . Alright, now get in this one . â
What Alistair took out of the item bag was a golem carriage that looked exactly like the one Quina had in her possession .
Fran climbed into the carriage as prompted . Alistair threw Asura onto the floor of the carriage .
âIs that okay?â
âServes him right! How could this idiot demon get out of control until like this anyway? I bet heâll wake up with a stupid look on his face . â
Thatâs a bitter pill to swallow for Asura . What happened between them in the past anyway? Well, we can ask him about that too when he wakes up .
âWell then, letâs depart!â
Then we got into the golem carriage and left for the divine blacksmithâs house .
