The Unrecorded Extra
71 Sword Ego: Reina
This happened the next day after the event that people called 'Ray of Light' or 'Light Beacon'.
It was Sunday at that time, I didn't have much schedule except for why of course, training!
Lux approached me when I was improving my dual wielding talent with daggers.
"Here," he said while handing me a sword.
When I looked carefully, the sword had a carved 'A' letter on the lower blade. I recognized it. That was my sword. Retro.
But, I didn't remember I took my sword out in that ruin. Something exploded and sent me flying, that was what I remember before I fell unconscious.
He said that I wasn't unconscious. Instead, I was fighting the villains that ambushed me and killed them with weird swordsmanship that left him confused upon witnessing it.
That, I didn't remember I was doing that.
"At that time, your eyes were golden in color, and I felt a strange aura emanating from you."
"I thought you were maybe got possessed by a spirit. A swordmaster's spirit perhaps?" Lux continued. He looked hesitant as he said that, as if he was hiding something.
Was it possible that I was really possessed?
Not that I'm glad about that, but it sounds cool.
I took the sword and traced my finger on its blade carefully.
It was at that moment that something, like a burst of electricity, a static feeling surged up into my brain.
I heard a voice that sounded like a little girl but a bit deep, ringing in my head.
"Master."
That was what the voice said.
Some times later, when I was alone in my room. The sword emanated a golden light then poof, it became a little girl.
As soon as she saw me, she lunged in and hugged me tightly.
"Master! Master! Kyahaha! I can finally hug you, master!"
She was like a chick clinging to its mother— Uhum! Father.
If you thought whether I was confused or not. Then my answer is no. Why would I be confused? I had already expected this the moment I got the sword.
Every artifact with Ego had its own consciousness and personality, and this sword was no exception. They were rare, very rare. Especially the one that could transform into another living thing such as a human or animal.
Among many Ego-artifacts that Lux had in his possession in the story, only three could transform into living things. A woman, a cat, and an eagle. The rest only had consciousness and personality without being able to transform.
So, I was quite surprised that Retro could transform into a living thing.
But the question was why must it be a little girl? Couldn't it transform into another form, a cool and kind mommy perhaps?
I looked down at her, her golden hair shining in the light of the room.
"So, you're the Ego of this sword?"
She nodded excitedly. "Yes, yes! I've been waiting so long for someone to wield me! And now that you're my master, we can go on so many adventures together! Kyahaha!"
She buried her face in my stomach and snuggled up excitedly, just like a child.
"What should I call you?"
"Anything! You can call me anything, master!"
Seeing her cheerful face, a smile formed across my face. I patted her head as I spoke.
"How about Reina? Do you like it?"
She tried out the name 'Reina' aloud, testing how it would sound. After repeating it a few times, she exclaimed, "Yes, yes! I really like it! Thank you, master!!"
Then she hugged me again.
'What an active kid…'
When she finally calmed down, she sat on the chair and began swinging her feet back and forth while flashing me a smile coupled with a prolonged gaze.
"Hmm?"
As I moved closer to observe her golden eyes carefully, she tilted her head. "Master? Is there something wrong with my face?"
"Reina. Could it be possible for you to take over my body?"
"Of course, master! But, I only can do it when you are unconscious, not sleeping though. But, more like when you are faint or when you lost consciousness in that cave– Oops!" She blocked her mouth as soon as she realized she spoke too much.
Though, I already heard it so that was useless, but cute nonetheless.
"I see. So it was you."
"I'm sorry! Master! Please don't leave me! I will not do that again, I swear!"
I patted her head.
"How can I leave a kid as sweet as you? I'm not that heartless."
"Really?!"
"Yes."
She lunged forward for a hug and I let her be.
I meant, who the fvck in their right mind wanted to throw away an S-rank artifact just because it took over their body when they were conscious?
Only an idiot would do that. Imagine an S-rank artifact with an overpowered ability and an automatic defense system.
That was how our first meeting looked like.
…
The present…
"If you don't want to go to a doctor. How about if we play hide and seek?"
"Why?"
In the corner of my eyes, I noticed Zia's blank gaze at us– at Reina.
"I'll play hide. And you will seek for professionals help, master."
"Huh?"
For some reason, Reina became a sassy kid instead of a sweet and cute little sister.
"I mean it, master. You really need it!"
I shook my head and sighed. Looking at Zia, I plead to her. "You really don't want anyone to see you?"
Zia didn't answer me. She only raised her hands and crossed them on her chest, her mouth pouting while her eyes still locked on Reina.
"See! You are talking to an empty air again, master! Let's don't waste time anymore and go to the doctor!" Reina said as she tried to push me.
"No, Reina. I don't need them. I'm mentally fine! She's just shy to show herself to other people!"
Reina stopped, glaring at me with teary eyes. "Really?"
"Yes, really. I'm fine, no brain damage at all!"
She snorted. "Okay…"
Sighing, I patted her head as I apologize to Zia for Reina's behavior.
"It's fine," she said. Looking in the direction of the door, she stood up. "I will be at the Cafeteria if you need me."
BAM–!
'Haa…'
"Master. I still think you need to go to the doctor."
Just when I thought I'd have a peaceful and sweet time after Reina came…
