[I found a way to talk with Seregia!]
“Really?”
This wasn’t within my expectations, so I asked Ahbooboo in surprise .
After Seregia fused with the soul sword completely, she seldom spoke .
She didn’t totally lose the ability to speak .
She still had consciousness of herself and knew what was happening around her .
Occasionally she would express what she wanted to convey .
However, she spoke too little and irregularly .
Sometimes she would say a few words a day, but sometimes she wouldn’t respond for a month .
I failed to find out any regularity inSeregia’s ways of speaking, so I welcomed every time she spoke to encourage her .
So I was surprised that Ahbooboo found a way to speak with Seregia .
[Yes!]
“So, what’s the method?”
[The method is… ho… hoho, do you want to know?]
“… I do want to know . If you can tell me right now, that’ll be great . If you don’t, I’ll throw you back into the inventory . ”
I’d really do that .
There was one thing that I learned while getting along with the holy sword .
Don’t get involved in the mischief of the holy sword .
This guy doesn’t know when to stop .
Once you get involved, it will cost you hours, days and nights and if he doesn’t tell you, it will definitely drive you crazy .
[You always say that . Aye, to be honest, you’re lonely when I’m in the inventory, right?]
He was out of his mind .
[So you pretend that you’re not, but treat me kindly, right? Ah, I know what this is . You’re a tsundere……](TL note: if you say someone is a Tsundere, you mean he/she always pretends to be indifferent and cool while he/she is totally not . )
I opened the inventory and threw the holy sword into it .
I signed and lamented my misfortune .
I had two swords that could speak . One speaks a few words only when she wants and then disappear, so it’s better for the other one to shut his mouth .
I fell asleep in the quiet waiting room .

[You have entered the 40th stage . ]
I moved into a carriage from the room with bonfire .
The initial point of the stage was always rather different and insecure, so I looked around carefully .
There were horses and groom in front of the carriage .
And there were also some other carriages .
The scenery outside the window was thicket, nothing special .
So what is this situation?
Firstly, are the groom and the other carriages a collective group with me?
Since my feet and hands were free, the situation of carriage was normal . I guess that I was not a criminal being escorted somewhere .
I tried to figure out what was going on, but it was unnatural to rush out from the carriage .
Therefore, I just stayed in the carriage and waited for the mission message .
But no matter how long I waited, the message didn’t appear .
In case I missed something, I opened my eyes widely and used my mana . Nevertheless, no message appeared .
At that point, the groom had heard me . He turned his head back and spoke to me .
“Have you already woken up, soldier? I was about to wake you up, that’s fine either way . We will arrive at your destination soon . ”
The groom was an old man .
He looked dirty, with a husky voice .
His appearance was totally different from his polite and calm voice .
[The gateway of 40th stage began . ]
Description: One day, there are some rumors about abnormalities in Lake Irai . Two suns and three moons appeared in the sky, bug-eating birds began to eat people, toxins are detected in the herbs, and children in the lakeside villages disappear .
The kingdom dispatched investigation team to investigate these rumors .
This is the 3rd time an investigation team was dispatched, but most of the teams disappeared during the search near the lake .
Some surviving investigators suffered from mental illness because of fear .
They kept repeating stories, such as the one that stated that there was a monster in the forest that would rival the dragon or that the lava under the lake would explode and destroy the continent, which were all unbelievable .
As the situation became worse, the kingdom gained the approval of the temple and asked the Hundred Gods Temple for help .
The Hundred Gods Temple sent their contractors to investigate the abnormalities .
The summoned contractor, brave and trustworthy summoned contractor, please find the reason for the disaster of Irai Lake, get rid of it to restore peace for the people .
[Clear Condition]
– Please investigate the abnormalities in Irai Lake .
– Please protect the summoned contractors that are in the same team with you from being hurt and dead . The summoned contractors you have to protect are (2/2)

When groom talked to me, a long message came out at the same time .
It was like I was playing a game and the episode just started while I was talking to someone .
The content of the message felt like a game prologue .
The messages explaining the clear condition of each stage were slightly different .
Message of some stages were especially short or unkind . On the contrary, sometimes there were too much jargon .
Message of the 40th stage was the one that clearly explained the setting of stage and background .
I calmly read the long message once again .
Unlike other stages, a team was built from the beginning, in addition, what I needed to search the lake and protect team members at the same time .
In the meantime, there was some hidden clear goals, showed “?”
This was a special stage .
The first thing that I pondered about after reading the message was summoned contractor .
What does summoned contractor exactly mean?
The message said that the palace asked the Hundred Gods Temple for support through the temple and Gods sent contractors .
I remembered the summon warriors that I saw on the 26th stage .
Although they were known as warriors, maybe they were different from the summoned contractors .
If I had chance, I ought to figure it out .
It was clear that the other summoned contractors were in other carriages .
It was certain looking at the strength and mana they showed .
Compared to them, the grooms that drove the carriages and the soldiers and knights that defended the team were much lower .
I organised my thoughts and awaited the arrival at the destination .
I wanted to talk with the groom to gain some information, but it wasn’t a good idea to annoy someone who was driving the horse .
This was definitely irrelevant to the smell of his mouth .
I took the holy sword out of my inventory .
“Well, are you gonna tell me now?”
[You’re too much, warrior!]
It’s you who is too much, Okay?
The holy sword that spoke “Tee-hee, Tee-hee” has a voice that gave me way too many goosebumps .
“So you’re not gonna tell me?”
[Humph, how about you just give me the leg-screw punishment? Don’t give me that look, I won’t tell you! I, holy sword Ahoubuch, will not succumb to your threat!]
I’ll see how long you can insist .
I opened the inventory without hesitation .
“Well, let’s see each other in a year . ”
[… No, nonono, wait a moment . Isn’t One year too long, warrior? Warrior?]
I slowly put the holy sword into the inventory, who was flustered because of “a year” .
When the half body of the holy sword entered the inventory, he changed his attitude .
[Warrior, you’re not serious, right? You’re joking about one year, right? It’s not real, right? You won’t do that, right?]
“You don’t know me? I’ll take you out in exactly one year . Take a nice rest . ”
Hearing the screams of the holy sword, I throw his handle and all of the sword into my inventory .
