"This is the end!!!"
" Absolute Light Armament, Floral Form, Tenth consecutive attack!!!"
The Demon King Sword stab into Kuro's chest hardly. Kuro was badly wounded and he began to slowly disappear. The Demon King Sword then turns back into a purple-haired girl.
" That was a great battle. It's been a long time since I have been used" said the purple-haired girl.
"You was the spirit of the Demon King Sword, right?" ask Ryuji.
"Indeed. I was the spirit of the Lost Sword, Rissa" answered Rissa.
"Didn't the weapon can only be created through the element of magic?" ask Ryuji
"The Demon King once said to me that the spirit only inhabited in the Legendary Weapon" replied Rissa.
"But, why you choose me as your contracted?" ask Ryuji.
"Because you promise me that you would protect me. Right, Master?"
Rissa replied expressionlessly.
"Yeah, that's right...But wait, that's not what I mean!!! "Why are you keep calling me master? Please briefly explain."
"Because Master is my Master. Or would you like me to call you differently?"
"For now, anything other than Master."
"Well, Aniki."
"No."
"Daddy."
"Even worse!"
"...Onii-sama?"
"Ummm...No..."
Ryuji averted his eyes slightly. Involuntarily, he felt that the last one was quite good.
"Fufu..., did you like it?" teased Rissa.
"That's not it, my bad. Ryuji, please call me Ryuji."
"Got it. I'll call you Ryuji."
"Then, could I call you Riss other than Rissa?"
"I think...that's okay, I don't mind it.
"Ryuji, from now I will be in your care"
"Ohh...Ok. I think we should probably return."
"Return?" ask Riss.
"Actually, I was separated from my parent when we were adventuring before I get here," replied Ryuji.
Ryuji used Search Magic to located his parent location. When they were searching, Ryuji came out with a question.
"By the way, how long have you been inside the sword?"
"I think it was 1,000 years after the death of Demon King," answer Riss.
Ryuji was shocked when he heard that she had been inside the sword for 1,000 years. Spirit can live up to thousands of years while Festia and Genestia only can live up to hundreds of years.
"1,000 years!? That must be a long time. I feel sorry for you"
"No, it is not your fault. You don't have to feel sorry for it."
"Umm..., Riss."
"Yes."
"Could you tell me more about the Demon King?" ask Ryuji.
"Okay."
"The Demon King was the Darkness Elemental Lord that once rule over the Genestia 1,000 years ago. He was a strong, tyrannical, and egoistic person. He always punished people without thinking first."
"But, the torment of Demon Genestia ends when there was a person who wields the Sacred Demon Slayer Sword to kill the Demon King. That person was a Festia." continued Riss.
"Festia?"
"Yes, her name was Irisha."
He was stunned for a sec after he hears her words.
"I think I have heard her name before, but I can't remember it."
"Don't push yourself if you can't remember it," said Riss.
"No..., I'm not" replied Ryuji.
After searching for a while, they found Ryuji's parents' location. Ryuji then uses the Gate to teleport to his parent's location. His parents were worried when Ryuji was separated from them.
They also asked who was the person that Ryuji brought along. Ryuji tells them about what happened earlier. They were shocked that she was a spirit of the Lost Sword.
"And, well―"
Ryuji cleared his throat and,
"― The meeting between Riss and I was like that."
"So...Riss was your contracted spirit?" asked King Aershield.
"Yes, it is. Your Majesty" replied Ryuji.
Later, the two of them get back in the hall. King Aershield wanted to make a speech.
"Everyone, please silent. The King wants to make a speech." said the treasurer.
"Our Kingdom has obtained victory from the Great War between the enemy Genestia. It is because all of us work together to protect our kingdom. I am grateful to all of you."
All of the guests clap their hands proudly.
"And also, it thanks to Ryuji that we have obtained our victory. As everyone knows, the World Swordsmanship Tournament will be held every 2 years once. Right?"
"To show my gratitude to Ryuji, I would be sent him as our Kingdom representative. Is that would be okay?"
All of the guests were surprised that The King would send Ryuji as the kingdom representative.
"We have no objection, Your Highness!" said one of the guests.
"We also didn't have, Your Highness."
"Looks like they didn't have any objection, would you accept my request?"
"― Wait, what!"
Ryuji was shocked that King Aershield would choose him as the representative of the kingdom.
"But, aren't there more powerful knight than me, right? Why did Your Highness want to choose me?"
"I want to choose you because I can see the wonderful sword skills that you used when you were fighting with the enemy. I believe that sword skills and also the sword will be brought victory to our kingdom" King Aershield replied.
"So.... I will ask you again, will you accept my request?"
"Ryuji!!!" "Ryuji!!!" "Ryuji!!!" "Ryuji!!!" "Ryuji!!!" all of them shouted together.
"Your Highness."
"I would gladly accept your request, Your Highness"
"Everyone, Ryuji has accepted to become our kingdom representative. Let's all we celebrate it together!!!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"The tournament will start at the end of this month and this time tournament will be difficult. I hope you can practice as hard as you can." said King Aershield.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ryuji gladly answered it.
