I was given a mysterious weapon
“It’s pretty. But it doesn’t really feel like a sword…made of metal?”
“The core was made with the fangs after they were turned into powder. And so the look and texture is like that. Though, it has never been done before. So I don’t know if it will always be like this with fenrir fangs, or if it was because of the blacksmith’s skill.”
Turning fangs into powder… The appearance and feel reminded me of marble more than metal.
“Of course, because something else was combined with metal…it is not the most practical as a sword. At first, I hesitated to use it as a gift. But I think it is not bad for decoration. Even if you can’t use it, it is beautiful to look at.”
“Indeed, I feel drawn in when just looking at it. I don’t know much about swords… But while the sheath and handle are beautiful…the blade exceeds them.”
“Father. May I look at this one?”
“Yes, you may. The sword is for Takumi, while the daggers are for each of you.”
Claire unsheathed the dagger and looked at it with interest. It was just as beautiful as the sword.
“Kyu?”
“Hehe. These were made with your fangs, Sherry. Aren’t they pretty?”
“Kyau!”
Claire was particularly happy that they came from Sherry. She had a bright smile.
“Thank you.”
“Mmm. Well, you also have the katana that I gave you before. So you may not need it, but I’d be happy if you decorated your room with it.”
“Yes.”
“Oh? But father, this cuts really well…?”
“Huh?”
“What?”
Sebastian had brought out some blocks of wood, and Claire had cut one in half.
Along with a piece of the table…
Sebastian was stunned.
“But that can’t be… When I tested it, I could not cut anything…”
Mr. Ekenhart looked at the dagger, the wooden block, and the table in disbelief.
He was the best master of swords that I knew… Well, not that I knew many.
But if he couldn’t cut anything, it made no sense that someone like Claire would be able to.
“…Sorry, Claire. Let me borrow it for a moment. Hmm… Yes, I still can’t cut with it.”
“Why is that? I cut it without using much strength. See?”
Claire took the dagger back and pressed it against the wood block. It cut through without making a sound.
And once again, she cut the table underneath as well.
It was like cutting through tofu.
“Hmm.”
“Uh… I was able to cut it too…”
“Wh-what!?”
I picked up the other dagger and tried cutting through the wood.
And then…just like with Claire, the blade went through the block without any resistance.
I felt bad for the table.
“As you can see… And Mr. Ekenhart…is still not able to cut it. Sebastian?”
“Tsk… Why!?”
“What is it?”
“I am wondering what would happen if other people tried it.”
“I see… Well, it is worth a try. Hmm… No, I cannot cut through it either.”
Once we were sure that Mr. Ekenhart couldn’t do it, I wanted to test it with other people.
And so Sebatian took the dagger from Mr. Ekenhart. However, he also failed to cut the block.
Mr. Ekenhart was happy that he was not the only one.
“So it’s just me and Claire…? I don’t know the reason, but it seems like others…”
And so we called some of the servants who were in the grand hall.
Starting with Ms. Lyra and Ms. Gelda. And then the servants and guards all tried…
