A severed hand was in front my eyes.
The neatly cut hand was still dripping with undried blood. Judging from the size of the hand holding the cursed sword, I could see that the hand had large and rough muscles.
"Based on the hand fragnt, it looks like it ca from a man's hand," I said as I looked at the hand fragnt that Aiko had brought.
Duuuuttt...
Duuuutt...
The severed hand that was slowly losing the blood pressure flowing through its blood vessels and began to wriggle like a fish that had just co out of the river.
The wriggling hand caught my little attention and I imdiately pulled the cursed sword he was holding.
Pulling out the cursed sword he was holding, I could feel a surge of black magic energy coming from the core of the cursed blade.
"Momo, is this from one of the swords created directly by the Goddess of Destruction?" I said while observing the waves of magical energy being emitted by the cursed sword.
"Yes, this is none other than one of the cursed swords that was created after the Goddess of Destruction created ," Momo replied while looking at one of the cursed sword sisters that I was holding.
"I see… can you get rid of this foggy weather? It feels a bit strange after my body is soaked by the heavy rain and seeing foggy weather filled with magical energy like this," I said to the cursed sword that had been confird by Momo.
"..."
"..."
"..."
A silence without an answer started to make feel annoyed about this and started to give a smile that started to threaten the cursed sword in front of .
"Momo, it seems like this cursed sword is very quiet. Can we do sothing that will make it talk?"
"This cursed sword isn't mute, right?" I continued, glancing at Mio who was preparing to take out her Odachi's sheath.
Ctiiiikk...
Sraaanngg...
I saw Momo suddenly flying after coming out of her Odachi sheath and started taking my magical energy that ca from the power of the Monarch of Holy Destruction.
With the threats given by Momo and , the cursed sword that had been silent was cornered and started to speak to .
"I-I'm sorry!!"
"Please spare my life!!"
"I will do anything as long as I am safe and alive!!"
The cursed sword, which had been silent all this ti, began to actively speak like an innocent girl who would do anything as long as she was safe.
Responding to her words, Momo imdiately unleashed her imnse magical energy and pressed the remnants of the cursed sword's magical energy into my grip.
"Before you survive and alive, can you clear this thick fog?" Momo said in a cold tone as if threatening the cursed sword which was one of her sisters.
"I-I understand... please don't hurt , Onee-chan!!" the cursed sword scread as it shouted at Momo.
"Onee-chan?" I muttered softly after hearing the cursed sword call Momo as Onee-chan.
"My Monarch, I was born before the other cursed swords. As the prototype of the cursed swords, I can be said to be their Onee-chan," said Momo explaining her status in the past as one of the cursed swords created as a prototype by the Goddess of Destruction.
"I guess you're no longer a prototype after being reforged by Mio. You've now beco a cursed sword favored by a Monarch of Holy Destruction. Doesn't that make you proud of yourself, Momo?" I said to tease Momo.
"My Monarch... you're good at giving complints, huh? I seem to have felt what the won who were seduced by my own Monarch," Momo replied while flying in front of .
Ckuutt...
I stabbed the sharp eye of the cursed sword that I was holding on the ground and watched her suddenly fly up beside Momo.
"O-Onee-chan, will I be okay with dispelling the thick fog like this? I-I won't be killed cruelly like the cursed sword that was mass-produced and failed the testing process, right?" said the cursed sword that was floating beside Momo.
"Don't worry, the Monarch of Holy Destruction wouldn't do sothing like that to one of my cute sisters," Momo said in a tone that seed to be calming the cursed sword beside her.
If I think about it more deeply, as a cursed sword in the form of as a prototype, Momo is more isolated until it becos one of the cursed swords used as a supply that provides magical energy to one of the rare monsters nad Golden King Bear.
With such discrimination, Momo can still be friendly with one of the cursed sword sisters who is much more powerful than her.
"You'll be a lucky sword after eting the Monarch of Holy Destruction like this. Aren't you happy after your contract with that annoying man was broken by the Monarch of Holy Destruction's attack, who killed him without a trace like that?" Momo asked while digging up information that caught my attention along with the herd of stealth slis that began to gather around .
Aiko and Sirius are currently counting the number of stealth slis that are gathering to return ho without leaving a single stealth sli that will destroy their self-esteem as social creatures.
[ Supre Commander, we have all gathered! ]
[ Are we going ho without leaving a few stealth slis to keep an eye on Earl Timoti's family? ]
Aiko suddenly asked through the Soul Ta communication channel.
I imdiately glanced at her and gave a nod to agree with what Aiko had asked.
Nod...
With a nod from my head, several stealth slis volunteered to serve on the front lines like this and spoke through the Soul Ta communication channel.
[ Supre Commander, please allow to watch over this place as a spy agent. ]
[ too, Supre Commander. I'm quite annoyed with the behind-the-scenes gas that seem to be playing around with Supre Commander. Especially with that annoying old man! ]
[ Please allow to get involved in this, Supre Commander! I will make sure that such a shitty person gets a taste of the bitter dicine for his plan to destroy Marquess Roml's family during the season of the noble war! ]
I could see three stealth slis that had volunteered themselves lined up in the distance.
Nod...
I nodded once again to agree with the action they were about to take.
I also received a salute from the three stealth slis who wanted to volunteer themselves to carry out this task.
"Umm... M-Monarch of Holy Destruction. Y-You won't punish for acting so rudely, right?" said the cursed sword that was floating in front of .
"Why should I be angry about this?" I replied while glancing at her.
"U-Umm... W-Well... it has to do with my previous holder's actions of wanting to attack you, Monarch of Holy Destruction."
"I don't mind that," I replied with a soft smile at her.
"T-Thank you very much, Monarch of Holy Destruction!"
I could see a cursed sword feeling happy after getting an answer like this.
Straightening up my previous actions, I imdiately gave a nod to Aiko and Sirius to go back ho.
Several stealth slis imdiately entered the teleportation slash that opened not far from the view before my eyes.
Swuuppp!!
Swuuppp!!
Like a wind that blew quickly and entered the teleportation slash that opened before my eyes. I could see so stealth slis that wanted to go ho and rest imdiately.
Aiko and Sirius imdiately approached as if they wanted to report sothing about this.
"Supre Commander..." with a smiling and flowery expression, I could feel that Aiko had obtained sensitive information from Earl Timoti's residence.
"I have obtained the war schedule that will be carried out by the nobles who are part of the faction that supports the royal family along with the exact number of troops they are ready to deploy," said Aiko with a wide smile on her face.
"Supre Commander..." this ti Sirius spoke to with a look on her face that seed calr than Aiko's.
"I-I also found out important information about the relationship that had occurred between that old man and several opposition nobles who wanted to take advantage of this war season to carry out a coup," Sirius continued, providing important information like this.
I felt like I was getting a main dish in a side dish.
This kind of valuable information made smile at the two of them after successfully getting sothing I wanted to hear.
"You two have done a great job," I said, giving Aiko and Sirius a gentle caress.
Caress...
Caress...
With such a gentle caress, I could guess a war plan that would happen in the future. A war that needed to get a bitter reality before my Academic life began.
Caress...
Caress...
Along with the gentle caress given by both my hands, I suddenly felt a chill after the thick fog cleared.
Swoosh...
The cold morning wind made aware of the wet clothes I was wearing.
"I think... we should hurry ho before I catch a cold," I said as I glanced at the remaining stealth sli herd that was queuing to enter the teleportation slash.
Before I went back ho, I gave a nod and so of my magical energy to the three stealth slis who would be in charge of guarding Earl Timoti's residence.
Swiirrll...
Boosshh...
Giving so of my magic energy to their magic energy core, made the three stealth slis enthusiastic in doing their work.
"I'll pick you up after the war season starts," I said before walking into the teleportation slash.
Tap...
Tap...
My feet began to step into the teleportation slash and my gaze now shifted to the veranda of my room.
"Welco back, Lily-sama."
"Welco... Onee-sama!!"
"Lily-nee... welco back!!"
As I walked through the teleportation slash, I was greeted by the presence of Mio and my twin sisters who were already dressed.
"Yes, I have returned ho as I said before, to pick up the stealth sli herd," I said while giving a smile to Mio and my twin sisters.
"Hmmnn!! Ahhh!! Is this what it feels like to co back to a warm ho?" said Sirius to Aiko who had just co out of the teleportation slash together with Aiko.
"Please control yourself, Sirius. Don't act impudently in front of the Supre Commander's family," said Aiko who was beside Sirius.
As Aiko and Sirius walked out of the teleportation slash, Momo and her cursed sword sister also walked out in a floating state.
After they flew out of the teleportation slash, it made the teleportation slash created by the cursed Odachi gradually disappear.
Soooosshh...
Slluupp!!
Like a balloon bursting in the air, I could hear the cracking sound of reality breaking and returning to normal as before.
---
As the sunlight slowly shone brightly above the sky of Earl Timoti's main city, an unusual sight was seen above the sky.
Like a sword slash that tore through the sky, it left so of the civilians astonished at what had happened in the sky above them.
The two sword slashes that complented each other imdiately beca the talk of the town among the civilians who were about to start their morning activities.
From the crowd discussing the strangeness of the sky they were seeing, Evelyn felt a blessing left by Lily. Clenching her hands in prayer to the miracle left by Lily, made Evelyn feel comfortable and calm.
"Ahhh... Lily-sama. You even made a miracle out of a storm that intended to destroy us from the inside. Isn't that a blessing that has helped our family survive the coming calamity, Father," while saying words that sounded soft, Evelyn directed her gaze to Earl Timoti who was sitting in deep thought and looking at the figure of the old man who was being chained up with his wrists pulled upwards.
On a beautiful morning like this, Evelyn and Earl Timoti were giving a punishnt to one of their family mbers after trying to betray their own family from inside.
Without Lily realizing it, her actions in defeating a mysterious person from the sky had made Evelyn and Earl Timoti catch the person responsible for the collapse of their family from inside.
Without uttering a word of rcy, Earl Timoti pressed a hot needle and stabbed it into the chained man's body.
"GAAAHH!!" The loud and painful scream signaled a bright morning for Earl Timoti and Evelyn to clean up the rats that were trying to break their family trust and loyalty from the inside.
Before the war season between the nobles begins, Earl Timothy and Evelyn are busy hunting spy rats.

[ Author Afterwords ]
Thank you to the support of all readers who have read this novel up to Volu 3. The journey of this novel towards the end is still very long along with the experiences of the main character who will continue to develop in utilizing the power and blessings that have been given by the Goddess who supports her from the Goddess' realm.
In the rough sketch that the author has made, the fourth volu will rely on a story related to the Elf world. A world that is quite complicated when it will be the core story of volu four itself.
Even I don't know what the story in volu four will be like.
Just like usual, the story is not much different from a slice of life wrapped in romance and action as well as Lily's understanding that is too innocent in terms of love (even though she already understands the passion and lust of the woman who once perford the Linked Ritual with her).
Thanks to the readers who have provided support in the form of golden tickets, power stones, and gifts.
I Love you all…
I can't put into words how happy I am for the support you've given , but allow to celebrate it by making so privileged chapters that are more pocket-friendly.
