Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

29 – Ego Sword (4)

-Paaa!!!

“John! Are you okay? “Is there anything strange?”

When I opened my eyes, which had been closed due to the storm of light, I could see the inside of the dungeon, where fire and darkness were mixed together.

Through the energy felt in my body, I instinctively felt that what had just happened was a test of the Ego Sword.

This means that you really passed the test like a game.

Lena and the rest of her group come into view as they run towards me because they are worried about me.

Perhaps it was because I was caught up in a storm of memories that seemed like flashes of light from before, but an unknown emotion rose up and then calmed down again.

Yes, we were determined to succeed.

You decided to act according to your desires and live happier than anyone else.

No matter who owned this body before, I will live happily in this body.

“John, it’s really okay, right? It’s not like you went crazy because you were caught in a strange light or something? In an old story, it is said that there is a sword that can eat one’s spirit… “

Lena’s worried gaze is stronger than anyone else’s in this place.

It’s not that I don’t know her feelings.

Every word and action feels similar to Hannah, who took care of me before, so how could I not know?

-Wow!

“Ouch! Yo, Johan… ?!”

“Don’t worry. Because there is nothing wrong. Lena, are you injured? “I think you must have been busy dealing with the Dullahan earlier.”

“Ugh, ugh! Because there are no injuries at all… Uh, uh… “

Please wait a moment, Lena.

With a different mindset than before, she held her in her arms.

I feel like the scent and silver hair coming from beyond the iron of the armor shake my senses.

Up until now, she had tried her best to look at her towards her family or her colleagues rather than towards her opposite s*x.

Because I was not the John who shared her memories with her in this world. She was alone and doubting her heart.

After her soul changed, I thought about whether I could have feelings for her as the opposite s*x, and after thinking about it again, I drew a certain line and acted.

But that won’t happen anymore.

Why on earth should I do that? I’m so angry that I lost everything in an accident that I’m going to die.

The bubbles of desire that I have been holding back, burst out like champagne once the cork has been removed.

When Lena looked at me for the first time, it was closer to the feeling of looking at her family rather than looking at a man.

And now, his eyes and gestures clearly indicate that he is aware of me as a man.

Lena is embarrassed and embarrassed when I don’t hold her in her arms.

She is what I have been through, she is what I have experienced, and she is what I have created.

She cannot give it to anyone.

Even if the real John comes back.

“I’m sorry, Lena. “Because I’m greedy.”

“Uh, uhm… ? Okay, it’s okay!! It was decided from the beginning that the sword’s owner would be Johan!! I don’t care at all, so you don’t have to feel that pressure… “

It’s not like that, Lena.

I’m greedy, so I’ll act like an idiot for a moment. Sorry.

Become a knight, acquire special skills, become a nobleman, and then own territory…

When I fulfill all the conditions of being a nobleman who can commit bigamy, I make it impossible for you to leave my side.

At that time, we will be happier than anyone else.

I know that I am rude and mean.

Despite knowing the other person’s feelings, it is cowardly to deliberately pretend not to know.

But, if it were a world where that was possible, if it was a good world.

I will not hesitate in achieving my desires.

No matter what anyone says.

So

“Just wait a moment, Lena.”

“Uh, uhm… Well, I’ll wait… If I come across a good sword in the future, I’ll be sure to let you know. Understand?”

I will make the men of this world happier than those brought to them by cart.

Please wait a little longer for me, the dark and cowardly me.

As she apologized to Lena in her heart, she put more strength into her arms that held her, so that she could know my feelings through her body.

“Whoa… Now, I feel like I can live a little longer. Phew… “

I arrived faster than expected and after completing all the procedures and organizing, I even took a shower and took out the Ego Sword.

–uuu… !!!

As soon as mana is injected, a sword floats in the air and approaches me.

Maybe because of his mood, he comes towards me like a cat rubbing its back against a person.

It seems that it knows that it has a sharp blade, so it only points at the smooth back of the sword.

I find it cute that it reacts more like an animal than a sword, so I unconsciously stroke it with my fingertips.

“That’s right, that’s right. “He’s nice.”

I was amazed by the interaction that had never been seen in a game, but I also felt happy playing my fingers with the friendly response of the sword.

The Ego Sword, which vibrates slightly when the tip of the finger rubs against the smooth surface of the sword and the body of the sword is lightly scratched with the fingernail, was quite novel.

If you upgrade later, won’t you become like an animal? I’m looking forward to it.

I check my condition objectively while enjoying the cuteness, not the cuteness, of the Ego Sword, which is the biggest harvest.

“Status window.”

-Tiring!!

“This is it… Ugh… “

My status window is getting closer and closer to my character’s highest specs.

All abilities increased by 5, and spirit increased by 10. Luck, which rarely increases, also increased by 5.

What is surprising is the change in the job name.

“I finally became a knight… “

No matter what the world calls me, my heart thinks of me as a knight.

The changed job name catches my eye, and my heart is filled with joy.

Someday, there will be a lot of people in that occupation, including permanent status or higher… !

“Whoa, whoo…” “I need to calm down and check my active skills.”

Unlike the talent column, which cannot be checked, you can check the active skill among the skill columns with descriptions by pressing them with your hand.

“This is it!!! Hmm… “

As soon as I open the active skill window, the list of gorgeous skills makes me scream with joy without even realizing it.

Of course, I thought of Lena and Eleanor in the next room and immediately covered my mouth.

However, it was difficult to hide the joyful smile.

“The dog is really a fraud. You lost your balance, Hannah. hehehehe… “

Like the main characters who can obtain S-class active skills through exclusive weapons, S-class skills can be obtained through the Ego Sword.

In the game, the activation probability is also displayed, but the difference here is that the balance patch is done at the user’s will.

I haven’t used it yet, but it should be strong enough.

“The Ego Sword is close to a secondary weapon, like a shield.”

In the game, it worked by floating like a fish sword, so it’s probably similar here, right?

I excitedly scratch the blade of the ego sword wrapped around my fingertips, and the vibration feels even stronger.

“Now, I can be active outside.”

These are sufficient specifications to begin external activities.

There is no civil war or anything like that in the empire right now, so if you choose an area and go there, there is no way you will encounter dangerous people that you cannot handle.

Until I got the Ego Sword, I would have been confined to the academy focusing on growth.

“You can’t do that anymore.”

I don’t want to do that.

I want to achieve my desire as soon as possible. To do that, I want to move.

As I come face to face with the greed that I have been suppressing until now, it feels like it is difficult to resist my desires, just like when I was in adolescence.

“…But let’s hold on just a little longer.”

I stroke my ego sword while making a promise to myself and admonishing myself.

-uuu… !!!

As if responding to my desire, the sword body resting on my thigh trembles more strongly than before.

Slowly, but surely.
