"Didn't you have things to do at the temple?"
Delia: "!!!!"
Due to the surprise, she made a clumsy movent with her spear; then she turned around and looked at .
"You scared ! You shouldn't surprise people like that; you've already done it several tis. My heart skips a lot when that happens! Aren't you afraid I'll have a heart attack? Besides, I was training with the spear, so I must have a lot..."
'Ah, long ti no see Delia so nervous and giving endless argunts. I still rember when she talked incessantly that ti I climbed the cliff with her on my back. She was so nervous that she didn't stop talking all the ti. All in order not to look down.'
"Have you been training for a long ti?"
"A bit. I finished my duties at the Solitary Temple earlier than expected. And, seeing that you weren't arriving, I decided to train."
Very deftly, she withdrew a towel from her storage ring and wiped off the sweat. Only then did she approach .
Even before she speaks, a spear appears in my hands.
"Here, this spear is for you."
"For ?! No, no, Emir. From my perspective, it appears to be an extrely valuable weapon. You must rember that I can't create bonds with earthly objects," she said, shaking her hands and waving them back and forth.
"Hm... then you can borrow it."
"Emir! That's not the point!"
'This girl apparently forgot that she should loosen up a bit on the beliefs bestowed by the Solus Temple. Those rules only existed because the temple didn't want to put the saints in danger, because carrying a weapon ans they'll have to fight.'
But in our case it is different. She is a free Saint and the world is wide. We will never know when sothing similar to what happened with that elf will happen again. It is necessary for her to carry a weapon that covers her weaknesses.
After explaining to her all this, Delia reluctantly held up the spear.
"O-okay, thank you."
Although she seed reluctant to accept it, I managed to see a small spark in her eyes. The spear is very beautiful after all. I'm sure that she wanted to hold it at least once in her life.
Of course, now it belongs to her. She can touch it whenever she wants.
Others may be hesitant to give away such a spectacular weapon, but I am not. In my eyes, Delia is far more valuable.
"Huh? Does this spear talk?" Delia's eyes widened.
Emir: "..."
'My Holy God Solus! That reminded of a legend about talking weapons… Could it be that my lovely Saint awakened a hidden power in the spear?'
"She is telling that you are evil and that I must quickly get away from you," she said with a serious tone.
Emir: "..."
'She? Is she female? But more important. Drop that spear! It must be possessed!'
"What else does it tell you?"
"Saints usually have weak bodies. Why is it different with you? That's what she said."
Emir: "..."
'Don't you dare, you stupid spear! I still haven't told her about the multiple classes. I'll break you in two if you say anything to her!'
"I have chills. That human is planning sothing against . That's what she said."
Emir: "..."
'Good, good. That convinced . It's ti to evaluate the spear with my User Interface. If it was able to return a legendary class to its forr position, I'm sure it would be able to grant more data about this demonic spear.'
[Spear of Saint Delia] [(Rock ) (Feather ) (Celestial Chalice )]
[The spear of the miracle. A Saint should obtain a staff as a sacred weapon. But at the mont of touching the spear, Saint Delia decided her destiny. With the weapon in her hands, Saint Delia temporarily unleashed her hidden potential as a warrior. Sothing extraordinary will happen if the conditions are t].
'God... Actually, my lovely Saint awakened a hidden power in the spear. In fact, she practically changed the spear for another one! She even changed its na!'
I'd like to be happy for her. This is sothing worth celebrating, even when the silly spear is slandering behind my back. But all my joy vanishes the mont I read the last part of her description...
[Upgrade Conditions: Defeat a Zombie Dragon]
'Dream on, bitch!'
"Delia. Is it possible for to hear its voice?"
"Impossible, impossible. I'll get dirty if that human touches . That's what she said."
I'd like to get angry, but when Delia says the phrase, she looks too adorable. Especially when she tries to emulate the spear tone, and then reverts to her usual tone when she says, 'That's what she said'... my hands itch to pat her head.
'I have mixed feelings about the spear. I can't even hear its voice, and it slanders every chance it gets, but despite all this... I know it'll protect Delia. And the greatest proof of this is that... It has 'Delia' in its na. An irrefutable logic.
"So... Is it possible for soone like to get a talking weapon?"
"Talking weapon, hehehehe... you are bad! Don't talk like that about Emir!" Delia halfway started talking to her spear with a bit of anger.
"She said no. Only legendary classes are entitled to a sacred weapon... No, I won't tell him that. Don't you rember that he was the one who brought you to ? If it wasn't for Emir, we wouldn't know each other... ...She asks, 'how did you find ?'"
'How did I find her? Doesn't the stupid weapon rember how it was born?'
"I didn't find her, I created her... not directly by my hand, but by my actions."
I explained to Delia how it was that I got the loot 'Protective Bone', and then asked Erick to create a spear with it. Since it would be a weapon Delia would use, I asked for the sa runes she had in her spear, with the Celestial Chalice as the only difference.
The result was a bone spear. And since I knew it wouldn't fit her, I imbued it with magic with the help of other 'smiths'. That's how the spear was born.
Spear of Saint Delia: "..."
"Did she say anything?"
"Nothing. She was silent. She must be very surprised since you're sothing like her father."
'I don't want to be a father!!! Calm down, calm down. It was just a taphor, I'm not really a father.'
Haa. Delia unknowingly touched my sensitive nerve. It's a good thing I managed to restrain myself. Perhaps it would make a bad impression if I said I didn't want to have kids…
'At least not for the next 20 years.'
Well, it's night now... and even though I don't want to be a father, it's ti to practice making babies. I must train on a daily basis to avoid losing the habit. It's also beneficial to my health.
"Right, I haven't had dinner yet. Have you had dinner yet?"
"No, I was waiting for you" She shook her head.
'Ah, so cute.'
Unable to restrain myself, I kissed her.
Spear of Saint Delia: "!!!"
As we kissed, I heard how the spear began to vibrate. If I had doubts before, now all of them have disappeared. The spear really has a will of its own.
As our lips parted, Delia looked at her spear with a smile.
"Hm? Didn't you know? Emir and I are a couple,'' Delia said innocently.
Spear of Saint Delia: "..."
'Ah, the spear stopped vibrating.'
"What did she say?"
"Oh my Holy God Solus... That's what she said."
Hahaha, my stress bar dropped imdiately. With a smile on my face, I took Delia's hand, and we entered the Solus Temple.
The bear at that I previously delivered to her now lies in front of us. We each took our servings and cut the piece we wanted. As we eat, the spear position is on the other side of the table.
"One thing I noticed while we were talking is that you always talked to the spear out loud. But, is it possible for you to talk to it ntally?"
'If the spear can, it's quite likely that she can too. They have a connection, after all.'
"Oh, that sounds fun." With a piece of food in her cheek, Delia looked very excited about this idea of mine, to the point that she reached out her hand and held the spear, not caring that she still hadn't finished eating. "I can!" she said looking imnsely happy.
"I see, that's good. Then you can communicate with her without attracting Victor's attention."
"Mn!............ Emir, take a look at this!"
After ntally talking to the spear for so ti, she looked at again very excited. Then she raised the spear.
The next second, the appearance of the spear changed. If before its material looked like white gold, now it is no different from common wood. And its blade doesn't look special at all.
In her hand there is just an ordinary spear.
"When I talked to her about the war, she told that she could change her appearance so as not to stand out, and thus not to cause trouble."
'I knew it, the spear is looking out for Delia's sake. As long as it doesn't willingly lead Delia to a Zombie Dragon, I'll leave the weapon alone.'
"But a very common spear will also cause problems. Victor might give you another spear because he thinks it looks too fragile," I replied.
"Mn, knowing him... It's possible."
For a mont, I saw a look of annoyance on her face, but she quickly returned to her usual attitude and lifted the spear.
Again, the spear changed her appearance, but it was not the right one either. While eating, we discussed which spear might be the right one so as not to attract attention until we finally found one.
It was an iron spear ornanted with dragon designs. It looked valuable, but not enough for soone to try to steal it. After all, even a thief would think twice about stealing from a religious man.
For such a spear, thieves would not risk offending God or the Solus Temple.
