Shami quickly put the sword back in place, showing no desire to draw it, remaining calm and indifferent.

"So the 68th Demon King died in the decisive battle by drawing the wrong sword... Something without a Sword Spirit is better off as a decoration... Carrying it around may lead to accidentally drawing the wrong weapon when the arsenal is in a crisis, and that would really be life-threatening then..."

Shami lost all interest in this sword and silently turned to leave the corner.

Looking to the other side, the white-haired girl was radiating golden light all over her body, making 'zoom zoom zoom' sounds, entering the super hero state.

"I didn't expect one would need to go all out to draw a sword, huh?"

Shami sighed, and while the white-haired girl was still struggling to draw the sword, he quietly used the Teleportation Gate to 'borrow' the box containing entrance and natural preservation fees from this scenic spot, placing it inside his Demon King Ring, and then returned to the platform.

"Shami, I pulled it out! I am the true hero!"

The excited voice of the white-haired girl came from the platform, and Shami also looked over happily.

The silhouette of the white-haired girl holding the long sword aloft in both hands was elongated by the sunset, forming the shadow of a maiden lifting an iron hammer.

"You didn't pull it out at all! You simply used brute force to pull out both the sword and the surrounding rocks together! What kind of power does it take to accomplish such a terrifying feat, Lina!"

The white-haired girl panted heavily, her hands losing strength, and the hammer sword fell with a boom onto the platform, creating a hole and simultaneously shattering some of the stone on top.

"Just say whether you pulled it out or not, Shami! Don't easily deny the identity of a heroic maiden!"

"But this can't even be called a sword anymore! It's so heavy to lift, how could it be used to cut anything!"

Shami quipped, noticing that quite a few people from the park were rushing over upon hearing the commotion.

"Forget it, let's get out of here first and talk about it later."

Shami took the white-haired girl's left hand, and with her right hand dragging the hammer sword on the ground, the two quickly fled the scene through the Teleportation Gate.

[Heroic Maiden: Acquired hammer-shaped Hero's Sword ×1]

——

In the afternoon, after school, the Elf Maiden entered the door and immediately saw the white-haired girl on the balcony chiseling away at stones with a small hammer.

"Lina, what are you doing? Is it homework from sculpture class?"

"No, I'm crushing these stones."

The white-haired girl continued to work on the hammer sword before her, answering without looking up.

The Elf Maiden curiously walked over.

"What is this?"

"A sword that only a hero can pull out. I've already pulled it out; what's left is to chisel away the stone attached to the blade."

The Elf Maiden paused for a moment, widening her beautiful eyes.

"Could this be the sword forcibly stolen from Mount Erubu mentioned in the newspaper?"

"Shh~"

The white-haired girl signaled for her to lower her voice.

The Elf Maiden blinked, then squatted down.

"Alright, I'll help you, but if we get caught, you can't rat me out. We're just ordinary neighbors."

"Lureya, you're really nice."

The white-haired girl leaned over, gently pressing her cheek against the Elf Maiden's cheek.

Though the two girls were now very familiar with each other, the white-haired girl couldn't help but like and admire this kind-hearted golden-haired girl from the Elf Race.

"Your face is so cold, Lina! Don't do such weird things, I'm a normal girl!"

On the same balcony.

The Dragon Race Maiden stood invisibly in the corner, arms crossed, and snorted disdainfully.

Hmph, ordinary neighbors?

Do ordinary neighbors sleep in the same bed?

——

At night, mid-November, a strong wind swept through Saint Karno City, causing a drastic drop in temperature.

From afternoon till evening, the two girls managed to scrape off a layer of stone skin. Despite that, whatever material the remaining stone was made of proved unresponsive to chiseling, so they had to give up for now.

The weather turned chilly; after washing up, they hurried back to bed.

The white-haired girl clutched her pillow, instinctively went to the Elf Maiden's room, instinctively took off her little slippers, and instinctively climbed into bed.

The Elf Maiden, who initially found it uncomfortable, had now gradually gotten used to it.

Having a human-shaped cooler in the room wasn't too bad.

Lina's body was always a little colder than others; in a warm room, hugging her could cool it down.

The night grew progressively deeper.

After washing up, Shami entered the room, where the Elf Maiden lay on the bed watching the white-haired girl crouched at the foot of the bed with the sword.

"Shami, once you've chipped off all the stone outside, it looks even more like a hammer."

The white-haired girl raised her face and looked at Shami.

Shami also fell into deep thought.

He had never doubted the authenticity of the white-haired girl's Hero identity, after all, it was already marked on the panel.

And if a girl capable of dealing such high damage to the Demon King isn't a Hero, then what qualifies as a Hero?

"Could it be that Lina turned evil and was stripped of her Hero identity?"

On the bed, the Elf Maiden propped her hands on both cheeks, lying softly on her stomach, her calves raised and swinging back and forth.

"Ah, then wouldn't it be Shami's fault? If that's the case, Shami has to take responsibility for me!"

The white-haired girl quickly deflected the blame.

The Elf Maiden quickly corrected her wording.

The Demon King hasn't even taken responsibility for the Elf Maiden, so why is Lina being mentioned here!

"Maybe it was originally shaped like this? Actually, many weapons that aren't swords are called swords, aren't they? It's like using Ice Magic to casually create a sharp Ice Cone, and holding it in hand is called an Ice Sword."

Upon hearing this, Shami carefully examined the sword and the part where the blade was covered by stone turning into a hammer, touching both to get the same information.

[Name: Ordinary Hero's Sword]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Special]

[Potential to manifest a Sword Spirit]

[History: Hundreds of years ago, an ordinary but diligent Sword Casting Clan, over several generations, crafted a good sword, naming it the Ordinary Hero's Sword. Every ordinary person who faces life head-on is a Hero worthy of wielding a sword.

Later, this Sword Casting Clan lost their land during the historical period of land mergers. To survive, they were forced to sell labor to local landlords for meager wages.

After crafting this sword, the ordinary family faded out, disappearing in the landlords' joyous singing and dancing.

This Ordinary Hero's Sword thus drifted across the continent.]

[Note: This is a special sword in the shape of a hammer, and its unique shape results in unexpected effects in attacks. When attacking with the sword, it deals an additional 5% true damage to humans who have engaged in exploitative behavior.]

[Series: 1/3]

Looking at the description of the sword, Shami suddenly found his eyes welling up with tears.

Ah, the red flag, it has floated into the Outerworld too.

According to the description, this sword should be one in a series, and there are two more he has yet to discover.

If he finds them later, perhaps the white-haired girl can switch jobs to become a Three-Blade Swordsman.

"Lina, this sword really is in this shape."

Shami snapped back to reality and looked at the white-haired girl.

"See, I told you I'm the Hero!"

Shami chuckled softly.

"I think it suits you quite well."

The white-haired girl happily accepted it.

"Alright, alright, it's time to sleep~ those who aren't enthusiastic about sleeping must have something wrong with their brain~"

The Elf Maiden broke the white-haired girl's loving gaze at Shami and ran back to the center of the big bed, hiding under the covers.

It's getting late, indeed time to sleep.

After putting the Hammer Sword into the Storage Ring, the white-haired girl and Shami also lay down on the bed.

"With only two blankets, Shami and I will share one, Lina, you have one by yourself."

"Eh?"

"If you think about it, Lina, it's too unsafe there, cold air can easily seep in from the middle, and if the blanket isn't wrapped tightly, the warmth inside will escape, right?"

The Elf Maiden pointed at the white-haired girl and then indicated herself.

"In contrast, that's not something I would do."

"Lureya is actually turning disadvantages into weird advantages?!"

"Okay!"

The white-haired girl obediently agreed and wrapped herself in the blanket.

"I didn't say you should cover yourself with one blanket and then squeeze into mine, Lina, that's wrong, there's not enough space at all!"

The Elf Maiden was entangled by the white-haired girl's shameless behavior.

Just as the two girls argued, there came a knock on the door.

The unlocked door slowly opened.

The Dragon Race Maiden holding a pillow, with her large tail nervously swaying from side to side.

"Well, the weather's getting cold, it seems like everyone in the Demon tribe cuddles up to stay warm haha, as a Dragon Race, I also usually cuddle up to sleep when it gets cold."

The Dragon Race Maiden's eyes shyly avoided contact, her tail quietly closing the door.

"Another freeloader in my room!"
