TL Note : Another bonus chapter Thank you to Asekhan!

However, I cant share my secret without telling Fran. When Fran wakes up, well talk to her about it.

Thats what I thought as I watched Alistairs back as she went back to work.

************

Hmm, good.

That was easy!

Because Master wanted to say something to Alistair.

Well, thats true

Well, then?

Its a pretty big secret, but

When I consulted Fran, it became simple. She said that since its my secret to keep, I can tell it to whoever I want. Well, I said the same to Fran all the time, too.

Also, I dont want to keep it a secret from Alistair either.

Down in the workshop, Alistair seemed to just be taking a break. She sat on a chair and wiped the sweat off her face.

Alistair, we need to talk to you.

Oh? What is it? Could it be that something has changed in Master?

Well, theres a change, or rather, something I havent told you about yet. Would you listen to me?

Alistair could sense the seriousness of our mood, and she straightened up on the spot.

I have already a.n.a.lyzed Master, but Master still has a secret? In a way, the secret of Master , who is even more unique than a divine sword, is quite exciting.

And then she looked at me with eyes that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with antic.i.p.ation.

Oh uh, well.. I dont want to sound like a crazy person, but Well, you see.Ive told you that I was once a human being, right?

Oh.

But its not just that I was a former human. Actually, Ive been living in a different world than this one.

Hmm? A different world? Did you mean, otherworldly? In other words, Master is an ex-otherworlder?

Well, something like that

Could it be that youre talking about the Native World?

Alistair was astonished, but it turned out differently than what I expected. It looked like she believed that I was from a different world quite easily. But still, the Native World? Whats that?

I asked Alistair, and she explained it to me. Apparently, the G.o.ds of this world were believed to have come to this world from a different one and created the earth along with all the creatures within it.

It doesnt seem to be explicitly told, but it was just mentioned in some myths and the like. The world in which these G.o.ds were born and originally existed is called the Native World.

No, how do I say this? To begin with, I was born and raised in a world with no magic or skills. So, I dont really know.

What? Then how do you build things?

I continued to explain Earths culture and technology for a while, as Alistair asked me to. Anyways, I was only a former salaryman, so I could hardly provide detailed answers on specific matters.

She seems to be very curious and asks whatever question that pops up in her mind. She seemed to have a keen interest in Earth, which has acquired high technical skills without the benefit of skills or magic.

No, its interesting! I want to listen to this forever!

As for me, you believing my story so easily is kind of a letdown.

If you dont know the anecdotes of the Native World, this wouldnt be happening.

Even so, that Native World story may or may not be true, right?

I believe it is true, I am a divine blacksmith after all.

Hmm?

If one wondered what the divine grade blacksmiths had to do with it, it seems that the origins of the divine grade blacksmiths were told in the Native World Mythology.

In the myths, there was a theory that the Sword G.o.d fought against the Evil G.o.d by summoning a weapon. That weapon could be called his own alter ego, which he later left in the world while leaving to Native World. It seems that the sword of the Sword G.o.d is the source of the divine sword. In other words, the first divine sword was the beginning divine sword, Alpha, but Alpha began as an imitation of that Sword G.o.ds sword.

Well, even until now, I dont know the name of the G.o.d or the sword.

Apparently the lore has been lost over the years.

Oops, Im a bit off topic. At any rate, I believe in the existence of other worlds, and I think its possible that there are beings that have come to this world from there. Well, I cant be too sure if Master really came from the Native World

Certainly, there must be a lot of worlds out there?

Ah. But maybe, the reason why Master was locked up inside the sword might be there. Is there anything you can think of? Even just a little might help.

Not at all. Just because youre an otherworldly person doesnt mean you have special powers. Perhaps me being an otherworldly person makes me somewhat special, but

I see. Ahthats a shame. Well, if you know anything, please tell me.

Of course.

If one day, I have things I need to discuss, I wont just stay silent. At that time, I will definitely consult it with you.
