That was an ancient sword, housed in a worn scabbard, which appeared to have a considerably long history.
"Wha-, what's going on?"
Kotetsu, who was screaming, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw Reiger pull an ancient sword from Yoriichi Model Zero's body.
"A sword inside an automaton?"
Tanjirou was equally surprised.
Clearly, nobody had expected that a sword would be hidden inside Yoriichi Model Zero.
Only Reiger acted as if he had always known about the sword's existence. After pulling out the ancient sword, he promptly reattached Yoriichi Model Zero's head as if nothing had happened.
Then, Reiger extended his hand and pressed it against Yoriichi Model Zero's chest, activating magic that made a dazzling array appear on his hand that was touching the automaton.
However, the array flashed only briefly—appearing and disappearing so fast that before Tanjirou and Kotetsu could react, it was already gone.
