"What were Mea and the others doing?"

Fran and the others sat at the table set that Quina had arranged according to the maid's etiquette, while drinking tea and reporting back to each other on what they had been doing since they had left each other.

As a matter of fact we got steak as snacks that's served with the tea. Sipping tea on one hand while munching on a thick steak. It's already more of a meal instead of tea time, right? However, it is a common sight in the Beast Country. Quina, who acts as the Tsukkomi, doesn't say anything either.

To be honest, I think it's okay to share the information to one another later after we entered the royal capital but…… It seems that neither could wait.

We explain how the skills have become difficult to use and about my modifications.

"So the skill transform to the advanced level but the fighting power has declined? Isn't that a grave situation!"

"Mhm, very terrible"

"But it's not entirely unheard of, is it?"

『Is that so?』

"Yes"

According to Quina, this is a phenomenon that often happens when a sensory or physical enhancement skill reaches the highest level and changes to an advanced level skill.

It seems that the skills we usually use intuitively are more confusing when they change into a more advanced level.

"Well, even so, I can't give you any advice, because usually it's not possible for more than one skill to change to an advanced level at the same time, like what happened to you."

『I see……. But how do you usually get over that?』

"Training."

It was a very brief answer. But it's the only way to go. And if there was an easier way to overcome it, Asurasu would have told us about it.

The next thing Mea got her teeth into after talking about skills was the story that my outer body was originally a divine sword cherubim. According to Mea, Quina is also very surprised.

"I never thought I'd meet a divine sword in a row in such a short period of time……"

"Yes. I'm surprised."

『I will return the words back to you. I'm only at the level of a former divine sword or a semi-divine sword, but you guys have a real divine sword.』

"No, no, no, it's a semi-divine sword, and an intelligence weapon, moreover it seems to have some more secrets? Isn't that much more better?"

『Isn't the divine sword much more better?』

Mea and Quina are looking at me with a dumbfounded expression for some reason, but it can't be helped after Asurasu showed me the Earth Sword Gaia's capability.

It's not totally, but I don't think I can say that I'm better than a divine sword. Lind hasn't shown his true power yet, so Mea's perception of him may be a little too naive. Or rather, it's scary to see what kind of monster Lind will turn into when he's regained his true form. I am after all only a semi-divine sword.

When I muttered something like that, Mea glared at me sternly.

"Master, aren't you putting yourself down way too much? It doesn't matter whether you are a divine sword or not. You saved this country! Be proud!"

"Mhm! Master is an awesome sword!"

『I- Is that so?』

"That's right! Besides, the sword is rated by its owner, remember? It's one of the talents of an adventurer to come across excellent armor and be able to get it!"

So that's it. Luck is part of the talent, or maybe it's just that the adventurer's reputation is based on the strength of the armor they are using.

"Master, if you keep putting yourself down you will undermine Fran's achievements! Puff out your chest- no, you don't have any, but you should be proud of who you are!"

『I'm putting myself down too much….? And Fran will…..』

"That's right! Besides, think about it! You single-handedly fended off a huge army of demonic beasts and evil one that could destroy the country, defeated the vicious evil ones who were pulling the strings behind the scenes, and conquered the dungeon that resulted in saving the country."

Well, if you look at it objectively, it's certainly pretty amazing. If I didn't know I would think she was talking about some Hero.

『I see….. I am- We are amazing』

"That's right! It's amazing!"

Fran said something similar to Marmano, apparently it was a word that applied to me as well. He has told Fran not to be humble, but apparently I was putting down myself too much as well.

I can understand the reason myself. The divine sword. With Gaia in front of me, I took the liberty of rating myself and thought I couldn't win now. And I thought I was no big deal.

I vowed that one day I would catch up with the divine sword. That means that I have admitted that I am not good as I am now, and that I am losing. It was no wonder that I couldn't beat the divine sword, but apparently a large part of me was unknowingly feeling frustrated and defeated. It seemed that my inferiority complex with the divine sword had caused me to belittle myself more than necessary.

But as Mea said, if I'm not good enough, that means Fran is using a bad sword. Besides, Fran and I are always fighting together. If I despise my accomplishments, that means I despise even Fran's accomplishments. I can't let that happen!

『I'm sorry. I'm fine now.』

"Um. That's good."

I don't mean to be conceited, but I'm going to be more proud of myself from now on. As befits Fran's sword.

"But did you say he showed you Gaia? Did Asurasu show you the released state?"

"Hmm, just a little."

And when I told her the story of our mock battle, Mea was very envious of us. Come to think of it, it's a mock battle against a rank S adventurer. How could the battle-crazed Mea not be envious?

"I- I wish I could have fought Lord Asurasu too!"

It seems that the tablecloth is about to be chewed at any moment. But apparently a pat on the head from Pessili and Quina brought her back to her senses. She cleared her throat with a cough and changed the subject.

"Nevertheless, the equipment looks pretty good. You said that you had your original equipment modified by Alistair-dono, how is it performing?"

Mea looks at Fran's new armor and squints at it. Apparently, even though she is a combat fanatic like Fran, she likes cute things.

"Mhm. Perfect"

"I see. Fufu"

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing"

Mea smiled suddenly. What's the matter with you? Did Fran's cuteness get to you?

"Lady, Why don't you honestly say that you're happy to have matching equipment, since both of it was made by Alistair-sama?"

"Wha…..! What are you talking about, Quina! I- I don't think about such a thing at all!"

"Your expression is becoming softer."

"Shu- Shut up!"

So this is what it seems to be about. Quina continues to be calm and exposing her.

"Tha- that's being said, what are we talking about?"

"Hmm"

She is embarrassed. It was Mea who forced the conversation back to its track.
