TENKEN 662 What Her Name Is

Weena has encountered many Intelligence Weapons.

I really wanted to know about the intelligence weapon that does not go crazy, which was extremely rare among intelligence weapons.

We were supposed to tell her about the lake's anomalies once we found out what caused it… But instead of finding out what caused it, we've helped her to make the source disappear.

It seems that she treated it as a kind of solution and said she would give us the information.

「I don't know if she still exists or not though…」

「She?」

『It was a woman?』

We let out a yelp of surprise.

It's not that all of the intelligence weapons must be a man, but every intelligence I know so far has always been a man.

It was the same for me, the magic sword Zelyse, the magic sword Zelos Reed, and the Divine Sword Fanatics, our base personalities were that of a man. It seems that because of this, I unconsciously thought that the all intelligence weapon was a man.

Announcer-san's base personality was that of a woman, but she's not a former human being.

『I see, a woman, huh?』

Well, if the soul inside is originally human, then of course it has a gender.

However, it's true to say that swords don't have gender, but the gender of the soul inside is still important. If I were to take a bath with a woman, it would be a problem, right? I'm sure people would be offended.

In Fran's case, she's a child and I'm her guardian, so it's still okay. But I can't deny that it's a little hard to go into the bathroom with other women.

「Can I continue?」

『Oops, sorry. I'm just a little surprised. Please continue』

「Sorry」

「The place where I met her was the cursed continent of Gordisia」

『The continent that was destroyed by Trismegistus, huh…?』

The continent was destroyed by the worst magic beast that could have destroyed the world. It was said that the continent is now being protected by a huge barrier to hold back the magic beast. Knights and adventurers dispatched from all over the world are said to be fighting against the magic beast.

Certainly, it might be a fitting place for an Intelligence Weapon to exist.

『But Weena Rhyn met this intelligence weapon and its wielder over a thousand years ago, right?』

「Yeah」

So, it's highly likely that the wielder has changed.

『It seems unlikely that they're still in Gordisia, right…?』

「Nn…」

「No, you don't have to worry about that, I'm more worried that she's been destroyed」

「??」

『What do you mean?』

「Her wielder is still alive after all」

『Huh? For real?』

It's been a thousand years, right? Well, it's not that it means that there is no being that can live that long. Weena and the others High Elves are the proof of it.

『Could it be, the wielder of this Intelligence Weapon is a High Elves?』

When I asked her that, Weena shook her head. It seems that this person is not a High Elves.

『Then, what kind of person her wielder is?』

「Her wielder is the immortal sinner. His name is Trismegistus」

「Eh?」

『Err?』

Fran shouted in surprise. That's how shocked she must have been at the sudden mention of the name.

He is, after all, a very famous person who is described in fairy tales and is also the worst sinner in history.

「Trismegistus…」

『Wasn't he the King of the Dragonmen who was forced to fight the magic beast for eternity?』

「That's right」

But then I remembered.

『A while back, I remember Frederick mentioning that Trismegistus had an Intelligence Sword』

Velmeria, the half-dragonmen girl who was controlled by Fanatics and gone out of control. Her guardian is a man who was also a half-dragonmen.

He seemed to be a native of the continent of Gordisia and seemed to know a lot of things.

He had apparently disappeared after the incident in Royal Capital, and had leaked such a story after he had learned of Fanatics' existence.

So the intelligence weapon in the two stories was the same existence, huh?

「Her name is Juanaverta」

『Juanaverta…』

So that's the name of the intelligence weapon that hasn't gone crazy.

「Yes. The Dragonmen King's second-in-command and his partner. A cold-blooded witch. Savage swordsman. Shadow of the Golden King. A high-ranking magician of many titles, an elf who volunteered to become an Intelligence Weapon. That's who she is」

『A former elf?』

So, maybe that's why Weena and the others know her.

『Now that I've heard about her, I wonder would it be difficult to talk to her peacefully?』

「I guess so. She wasn't the easiest person to deal with after all」

She was apparently Trismegistus' second-in-command, a woman who made it her life's mission to assist him.

「But I was still wondering is Trismegistus a kind of supremacist?」

『…It's not like she was crazy before she became a sword, right?』

Like, she was crazy from the start, so she won't get any crazier when she becomes a sword?

「Well, at least I don't think she has gone crazy, though she might have been a lunatic. But the fact that she has been able to maintain her spirit unchanged for more than a thousand years since she became a sword is a certainty」

『Well, that's reassuring』

Seeing my other self from the other timeline turned into a mere sword made me think of that again.

「The continent of Gordisia, huh…」
