... live free!

As usual for lunch, I asked for Lana's help and paid Yua not to notice. Then I made up my plans for the future over lunch.

Yua said goodbye here because it meant going back to the orphanage, but I promised to see her again tomorrow at the guild. Well, Yua's party is like no longer in substance, so I promise to make a request with you...

I don't have anything to do with that in the afternoon. Can I help you? When I thought about it, I remembered Yua saying my sword was shining white when she was defeating the oak. Because the weapon was shining white, you might know if you asked Egil, the weapons dealer, or something. That's what I thought, so I thought I'd go to the weapons store. And I realized that I had money to buy an example knife, so I thought I'd go buy it too.

When Yua and I broke up after lunch, I headed to Egil's shop.

As soon as I get to Mr. Egil's store, I'll call him.

"Mr. Egil, are you there?

That's right. A while later, Mr. Egil came out of the back.

"Miss, what's wrong?

"I was just wondering... could you look at this knife?

When he said so and offered the knife, Mr. Egil received the knife and pulled it out, looking a little strange.

Then he gave a slightly surprised look. I think I noticed something. Then I heard this when I thought I had seen the sword carefully.

"What's wrong with this?

"Eh, and how come the kid who was with me when I was defeating the demon had some sort of 'white glow'? I thought I'd come here."

That said, Mr. Egil's eyebrows moved slightly. Did something bother you?

"... can a lady use magic or something?

"Huh? Once..."

Why did you ask me that? I thought so, but is that what happened because of the magic from earlier stories?

"... some of the iron is turning into demon iron"

"Seriously?

"Oh, it's about iron containing magic. I would have hit it with just iron, but it's normal to turn it into demon iron...... It's just that if you shed a huge amount of magic, it could turn into a demon iron. I remember hearing such stories a long time ago..."

"I see."

Assuming that's the case, like if you shed a lot of magic during a fight, you'd notice? I suppose, but what do you think? Because I didn't feel like I manipulated magic... Maybe you say unconscious, but I don't think you have that much magic on me? And I was wondering about that.
