I can't pull out the Hero’s Sword!
Translated by Omkar

Is this a punishment from God the Earth Mother? Or a test?
It was just an accidental kiss on my part.
Or maybe it’s because the cat-like girl pecked on the cheek.
Marianne, as if she were the manifestation of the Earth Mother Goddess.
“Aaaaaaaaahhhh–! Aah!”
She was screaming like a girl shouldn’t!
But anyway, I have to do something. The first thing to do is….
“Clara, you need to hide in the crowd!”
Marianne’s target was Clara. She swung her big sword and rushed towards Clara.
“What? Why me? I’m scared!”
Clara, stumbling away.
“Urgh!”
I kicked Marianne in the stomach with my big sword to save Clara and get her attention at the same time.
Clara quickly plunged into the crowd.
Marianne was following her with her eyes, but as I interfered further, her target changed to anyone with the intention to attack.
In other words, me.
Fortunately, I can read Marianne’s actions even when she is out of reason. But that’s it.
To put it bluntly, the current situation is really bad.
My “appraisal” skill allows me to read my opponent’s “normal state”.
No skills or anything else is activated. In other words, she is in her natural state, with no “madness” activated.
And if the “Madness” skill is Rank E, I can’t activate it by myself. Even if I could, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself, and more importantly, I don’t know what would happen if I lost my reason.
And unfortunately, I was very close to reading and stealing Marianne’s ability. I mean…
The “Heavenly Eye” is so annoying!
I can use my appraisal to read the next action written in the opponent’s [state] section.
It’s just text information, but when it pops into my eyes as a mass of information, I can instantly understand it and decide what to do next.
For this reason, I can actually read my opponent’s actions and make my move before they make theirs.
On the other hand, the prediction of action by “Heavenly Eyes” is a comprehensive judgment of the other person’s eye movements, muscle movements, and other circumstances, and estimates the future.
It’s kind of like getting an epiphany.
And this, of course, will be while the other party is moving.
In other words, just after I’ve determined my next move through “appraisal” and started to move, I’ll get an alert.
When I’m moving to the right, if someone says, “Let’s go right,” I already did it! I have to say, “I’m already doing it!”
This is something that is happening every single time, and it’s causing me a lot of stress.
And since it’s an automatic trigger, I can’t stop it.
That’s why.
In order to avoid getting a hole in my stomach from stress, I’m currently reading the person with the highest fighting ability in my sight.
“You’re trying to get away, aren’t you?”
The ogre person was pretending to be fainted and was dexterously slithering around in a prone position. He thought, “When I get a little more distance, I’ll get up and dash as fast as I can.”
Not wanting to let him get away, I dashed up to him, grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him up.
“Yeah, I’ll run. That’s right, I’ll run. A monster like that is impossible even if I’m at my best and in perfect condition with four swords. Quite impossible. He’s lost his reason, so I can’t even bring him into a deception. So please let me go. Of course, I’ll return the favor eventually. If you remember.”
It’s refreshing. However, if this person were to disappear now, I would be in great trouble.
“You’d better run, too. You have a child with you, don’t you? Are you sure you want to put them in danger?”
“There’s no way I’m leaving….. Marianne behind like that.”
“What are you going to do? What do you want to do? Kiss her again? It’s always the prince’s kiss that wakes up the princess.”
“What? What kind of nonsense are you talking? Anyway, you just stay there and watch. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you can’t move.”
“Before that happens, we’ll probably both be stuck.”
I huffed and turned to the side. Marianne was attacking me with her large sword held high above her head.
I shoved Musashi away and used his power to jump back. The two of us parted, and a large sword swung down into the space created.
The roar was like an explosion. The cobblestones were shattered, and fragments of all sizes attacked.
“Whoa!” That’s not me. It’s the other one.
I read the movement of the debris and dodged them all, but since Musashi couldn’t use one of his arms, a large piece of debris hit him directly in the chest. Oh, his ribs are broken.
I took a little pity on him, but he can’t get away with this. Please just lie there quietly.
But the situation is back to normal, and there’s no way forward at all.
No, I hate to sound like I’m taking Musashi’s advice, but I tried to read deeper to see if there was a way to get Marianne back to normal written on her own.
“The ‘madness’ will be lifted and sanity restored by Mel Lylute’s kiss on lips.”
You’re mentioning me by name! I’m flattered, but I’m also very embarrassed.
That kind of thing should be, you know, with her consent, but it’s her own information, so it’s like she’s consenting to it?
Maybe I’m the one with the evil imagination.
“Lady Marianne!”
Her companions appeared. People in red armor and people who seemed to be the city’s guards came pouring in.
“Do not attack. She will attack anyone who is willing to attack her.”
“Kid, what about you?” said the strongest looking uncle.
“Anyway, I’ll take care of this place. Please take care of evacuating the residents and stuff.”
“Uh-huh. I’m counting on you.”
The uncle – apparently named Gazuso – flies off instructions to his men.
The old appraiser hadn’t arrived yet; he was walking slowly down an alleyway three streets back. But I was sure he was coming this way. It’s not safe, you should go home.
Well, I had to hurry.
If the appraiser comes, he might find out what I can do.
In order to avoid this danger, …… I avoided Marianne’s attacks – sometimes with a stronger intention to pull her away – and flicked my eyes into the distance.
A huge rock that looks out of place in an artificial square. A sword stuck in it.
The hero’s sword has a special effect called “Fairy Dazzle”. It hides the performance of the sword itself, and can disguise the status of the wielder at will. If you use the latter, you can conceal my “Appraisal” skill.
Besides, there’s no way we can stop Marianne no matter what we do now.
I was too busy avoiding the attacks. Occasionally, I would lunge at her with the intention of attacking, but I can’t hit her.
I had to get so close to her that we were face to face to even kiss. No, I don’t know if I’ll do it or not. It’s just a matter of possibility.
Aside from that.
The hero’s sword is also useful to stop her physically.
The special effect of the Fairy King’s Blessing will make me invincible for 15 seconds. During that time, I can kiss her…….
I shake my head and let the greedy feeling go away.
The question is, how do I get that sword out?
The [Status] of the sword says, “To break the seal, you need to have the same or higher status as the Hero Earth Dragon.”
There’s no way someone that awesome could be here!
But wait a minute.
This is the place of the end of the Hero. In other words, the hero died here.
He was a grown man who saved the world. I wonder if his body has been respectfully mummified and displayed somewhere?
I’ve proven that I can read information from dead bodies. When I assaulted Rowe, I read and stole Hegel’s skill, actually. Because I can’t handle a knife very well.
Okay, let’s try to unravel the history of this city to find out where the body of the hero is.
“The corpse of the brave Earth Dragon was carried away by the Fairy King to the land of the fairies.”
What the hell are you doing, Fairy King! I mean, fairies really do exist, don’t they? Well, I’ve never even seen a demon in the flesh.
I was back to square one, and I continued my last-ditch evasive maneuvers in my disappointment.
But I haven’t given up yet.
I looked at the woman wielding the greatsword in front of me and read her deeply.
This person is the real deal.
She may not be as good as Mousasi, but she’s better than him.
That’s not all.
Right now, she’s desperately fighting it. Even after being “mad” and losing her reason, she was still trying to control herself, saying “I must not kill anyone”.
I think that her noble courage is enough to qualify her as a hero.
If so, then I’m stealing from her, and although I lack the status, won’t I be admitted to the “Sword of the Hero”?
If I leave because of that, then of course Marianne will leave too.
I feel bad that I’m snatching it from the other person.
It was painful, but…
“Aaaaaaahhhh! Aah!”
I couldn’t watch as her conscience was consumed by madness.
If we don’t do something quickly, not only her, but also Sylphy and the people of the city will be harmed.
And maybe it was because she was aware of Sylphy, but she noticed a strange little elf in front of her out of the corner of her eye. When did this happen?
She also held something in her hand and pointed it at me. I read her information half unconsciously.
“Sylphi! Go with that person!”
Whoever it is! It’ s the soldier from the Elf Nation who came looking for Sylphi!
Putting aside the fact that he was also the one who had been lending a hand to Musashi earlier. The fact that he still doubts me shows that he still misunderstands me.
“That person is on your side! So don’t worry about following her!”
“But, but, Mel, are you ……?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll catch up with you later. I can’ t leave this situation unresolved, can I?”
“…… Okay”
Okay, that’s one less thing to worry about.
Anyway, I had to try it out, so I took the hero’s sword.
“Aaaaaaahhhh! Aah!”
After I ran out to the big rock, I felt the roar go away.
When I turned around, I saw that Marianne had attacked Sylphi – or more accurately, the elf woman in front of her, Lieselotte.
A clear, murderous intent.
Lieselotte was pointing her weapon at me. Marianne reacted to that intention to attack.
I couldn’t get there in time. If I jumped out of the way, I wouldn’t be able to reach her. I need something more than just movement speed.
I read the skills of Lieselotte.
She’s a wizard.
But it seems that normal magic can’t be aimed properly or something, so you have to pass magic power through the weapon in your hand – a tube shaped thing that has only one exit, like a “magic gun” – and fire magic bullets.
I wish I had a tube …… shaped …… sword sheath, but I don’t have one on hand right now. There is nothing to begin with.
If there is nothing on …..
I clenched my fist in my right hand. I loosened up just a little bit and made a hollow like I was gripping an air sword. This is not enough to keep both ends open. I covered the bottom part of my right hand with my left hand and closed it, and let the magic power flow through it.
And then shoot off a magic bullet!
“Ouch!!”
It hurts so much! My hands are burning!
I knew it, but… I knew that there would be enough explosions inside the cylindrical weapon to unleash a magic bullet. The gun had some kind of magical formula that made it quite sturdy.
But I had to do it out of the flesh.
It would probably be unbearable, so I had done a little preparation beforehand.
I read Mousasi’s ability after taking aim, and the moment I set my sights on him, I boosted my defense with the Tortoise’s Carapace. In addition, it is possible to use it to create your own unique style.
If the effect can be specified by time, it is said that the effect will remain even if you switch to another person.
The magic bullet hit Marianne directly in the back. However, the power was suppressed, so there was no damage, let alone injury.
But it did draw her attention to me.
I jumped to the large rock, pulling her along with me.
I gripped the hilt of my sword with all my might and yanked on it – I couldn’t get it out.
…… I couldn’t pull it out.
I knew it was a bad idea!
Damn it, what am I supposed to do?
Marianne is running toward me.
At this point, it was no use letting the appraiser find out about my skills. I just wanted to save her.
I have to get the Sword of Hero to recognize me somehow. The way to do that is…
Just ask the sword.
Deeper, much deeper.
I was reading the information as if I was digging inside the sword.
Boom.
My heart jumped loudly.
Time seemed to be passing slowly. Even though Marianne was wielding a large sword, it seemed to be moving very slowly.
Still shallow.
Deeper.
As I traced the “memories” of the “Sword of the Brave,” time slowed down even more.
“Eh……?”
A young man appeared in front of me.
A very handsome man wearing black clothes overlaid with a black cloak and holding a simple one-handed sword was floating in the void.
I can't pull out the Hero’s Sword!
