Episode 18 – Oh? kid… you’ve got your eye on that one?


Warriorsโ€™ Adventures After the Doomed End by the Most Powerful Villainous Aristocrat ใ€œI Failed to Avoid the Doomed End, but I Was Saved by the Main Heroine, a Saint Who Turned Into a Yandere Just Before the Execution. Now Iโ€™m Going to Get Serious and Become a Warrior~


โ€œOkay, let’s go buy a sword.โ€

I muttered as I left the pancake shop.

โ€œVane sanโ€ฆ Do you have a favorite weapon shop?โ€

โ€œNo, not reallyโ€ฆโ€

I usually left it to my servants to arrange for weaponsโ€ฆ

โ€œWell, I know a good weapon shop, so why don’t we go there?โ€

โ€œOh! Okay, let’s do that.โ€

If it’s a weapon shop recommended by Chloe, the saintess, then the quality should be guaranteedโ€ฆ

โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•

The weapon shop Chloe mentioned was located down a slightly dimly lit street off the main street of the capital city.

It seemed to be attached to a blacksmith’s shop, as black smoke was billowing out of the chimney.

โ€œExcuse me!โ€

Chloe said as she knocked on the doorโ€”

โ€œโ€”Huhโ€ฆ? Who is it?โ€

A slightly lazy male voice came from behind the door.

โ€œIt’s me! Saint Chloe!โ€

โ€œWhat?! Wait a minute!โ€

Then there was a commotion, and the door opened.

โ€œChloe, it’s been a while! โ€ฆWait, a guy?โ€

The man who appeared from behind the door was a handsome guy with red hair, red eyes, and an eye patch.

As soon as he saw me, his expression clouded over.

โ€œHelen san! Long time no see!โ€

โ€œHey! Long time no seeโ€ฆ Since I made you a short sword, chains, and handcuffs for self-defense?โ€

A short swordโ€ฆ okay, but chains and handcuffs?

Ehโ€ฆ? What were you planning to use them forโ€ฆ?

โ€œWellโ€ฆ Fortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to use the things you made for me yet.โ€

โ€œHaha, it’s best if you never have to use weapons! โ€ฆBy the way, I’ve been wonderingโ€ฆ Who is that man?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

Helen’s sharp gaze pierced me.

It felt like she was trying to figure something outโ€ฆ that kind of atmosphere.

โ€œโ€ฆ Hmph, youโ€ฆ how old are you? Your muscle tone, your magical powerโ€ฆ above all, that insane auraโ€ฆ what kind of life have you lived to become like that?โ€

โ€œHuh? Aura?โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆ After all these years as a blacksmith, I can kind of tell what kind of person someone is and how strong they are just by their aura.โ€

โ€œFufu, I’m glad Helen likes youโ€ฆ After all, I came here today to have Vane sanโ€”his weapon made!โ€

โ€œHuhโ€ฆ Vaneโ€ฆ So this is him! The savior the young lady mentioned earlier!โ€

โ€œ~?!โ€

Chloe’s face turned as red as an apple.

The saviorโ€ฆ?!

Did Chloe say that to meโ€ฆ?

โ€œAnyway! Please make Vane san’s sword!โ€

โ€œSure, sureโ€ฆ Come on in.โ€

I followed his gesture and entered the weapon shop.

Inside, there were various weapons such as swords, spears, and shields.

โ€œThis isโ€ฆโ€

I approached a long sword that caught my eye.

This was the Fire Dragon’s Fang Swordโ€ฆ an A-rank weapon and a rare weapon that could only be made from rare drops.

I looked at the other weapons, and they were all A-rank or B-rank weapons.

As expected of Chloe’s favorite shopโ€ฆ rare weapons were just lying around everywhereโ€ฆ

โ€œOh, you’ve set your sights on the Fire Dragon’s Fang Sword. You have good taste.โ€

โ€œIt’s a long sword made by blending mithril ingots, fire dragon fangs, and a small amount of fire bags, right?โ€

I think it has a special effect that adds fire attributes to attacks.

โ€œOh, wowโ€ฆ You’re not a blacksmith, yet you know so much about itโ€ฆโ€

โ€œHuh? Well, yeahโ€ฆโ€

I looked away.

Shit, I just showed off my game knowledge.

Umโ€ฆ the price isโ€ฆ

50 million gols?!

Since 1 gol is almost the same value as 1 yen, that’s effectively 50 million yen.

I have money saved up from hunting monsters, so I could afford it, butโ€ฆ I’m still hesitant.

Besides, I can add fire attributes to my attacks with support magicโ€ฆ

โ€œAnything elseโ€ฆโ€

I shift my gaze to the other weapons. None of them are bad, but none of them have any particular features either.

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ Hmm?โ€

Then, one sword catches my eye.

That’s because, unlike the other swords with their dazzling decorations, this one has no decorations at all.

The wooden handle has some scorch marks, and the blade is a dull color.

It was probably made a long time ago and has been used extensively.

I pick up the sword and examine it closely.

โ€œOh? kidโ€ฆ you’ve got your eye on that one?โ€

โ€œWellโ€ฆ I just thought it was a pretty simple sword.โ€

โ€œThat one was sold by a strange traveler a long time agoโ€ฆ If you like it, I’ll give it to you for free.โ€

โ€œNo, I’ll pass on that.โ€

I didn’t want to keep a sword like this, which seemed cursed, nearby.

It was bad luck.

I tried to put the sword back where it belonged, butโ€ฆ

โ€”Thump.

My heart suddenly began to race.

In an instant, magic flowed from the sword.

โ€œWhatโ€ฆ what is thisโ€ฆโ€

I tried to let go of the sword quickly, but for some reason, my hand wouldn’t let go.

The magical power flowing from the sword traveled through my arm and reached my heart.

The next moment, a sharp pain like being stabbed with a needle struck my heart.

โ€œGuhโ€ฆ ahโ€ฆโ€

โ€œโ€”V-vane-san!? Are you okay?!โ€ใ€€Could this sword beโ€ฆ a cursed swordโ€ฆ? If soโ€ฆ Purify!”

Chloe used Purify once on the sword and once on me.

However, the Purify seemed to have no effect, and the sword refused to leave my hand.

โ€œGuhโ€ฆ Aaah!โ€

Then, the pain in my heart intensified instantly.

After that, the magic stopped flowing from the sword.

At the same time, the pain subsided.

โ€œWhat was thatโ€ฆ?โ€

I thought I was going to be cursed to deathโ€ฆ

โ€œVane-san! The sword’s conditionโ€ฆโ€

โ€œEhโ€ฆ?โ€

I looked at the sword I was holdingโ€”

โ€œWhatโ€ฆ is this?โ€

There was a sword there that looked completely different from the one before.

The hilt was decorated with dazzling red accents, and the blade had a faint reddish tintโ€ฆ but above all, it had an aura that made it clear this was no ordinary sword.

It looked like a demon sword.

โ€ฆHuh? A demon sword?

โ€œโ€ฆIs thisโ€ฆ a demon swordโ€ฆ?โ€

A demon swordโ€ฆ it’s a powerful sword that holds various formidable powers.

Depending on the sword, its performance may rivalโ€ฆ no, surpass that of a holy sword.

I recognized this sword.

This is definitely the demon sword that can only be obtained after defeating the final bossโ€ฆ

โ€œDemon Sword Gariaโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDemon Swordโ€ฆ Garia? This sword is a demon swordโ€ฆ?โ€

Helen stared at the demon sword with wide eyes.

โ€œWaitโ€ฆ Demon Sword Gariaโ€ฆ Isn’t that the cursed weapon from mythologyโ€ฆ?โ€

โ€œYes.โ€

The Demon Sword Gariaโ€ฆ According to the setting guide, it was the sword favored by the Demon God when he was alive.

It chooses its user and disguises itself as an ordinary sword until someone who pleases it appears.

That was also written there.

Did this demon sword take a liking to meโ€ฆ?
