（Who the hell are you?）
The magic sword asked. While I was picking up the lottery ticket, she was trying to do something to take over me.
But it’s not going well. That’s why she asked numbly, I guess.
「It’s Yuuki Yuuki Kakeru.」
（I didn’t ask for your name! I’m asking you who you are. Why can’t I possess you?）
「Even if you’re asking, I’m not sure why. ……」
I wonder why.
（I’ve never met anyone that I couldn’t possess. Mu, bastard, the colour of your soul.）
「Eh?」
（What’s with the colour? You’re not just a normal human, are you?)
「I’m just a human being. ……」
Oh, maybe it’s not just a mere human. Maybe there is some difference between people from other worlds and that area.
（This color …… looks like the Supreme Lord Rodotos ……? No, it’s more like ……)
The magic sword was mumbling something.
「Now, what am I supposed to do with you?」
（Mu?）
「Should I just smash and break it? Hmm.」
（Don’t underestimate me, human.) There are ways to destroy you without taking over your body.）
「Eh.」
I was caught off guard, so I was surprised. I braced myself for what was to come.
Then the magic sword glowed. It shone with a dark – menacing – light.
The next thing I knew, it was bobbing up out of the ground.
Ghosts in robes, skeletons in armored armor, and moaning zombies.
Just like that.
（This is the army of my dead spirits that once laid waste to the Letoria Empire. Dead souls, kill this one! )
「Damn, I let my guard down.」
（AAa hahaahahahaha）
A high-pitched laugh echoed in my brain.
The army of dead spirits attacked us all at once.
I was going to hit her – but then I remembered she was in the palm of my hand.
A magic sword. She is the one who summoned these guys, but she is still a sword.
「……」
I swung the magic sword to test it out. I swung down at the skeleton that was rushing into the lead.
I cracked open the helmet and cut the skeleton in half from the skull.
「Whoa, that’s good.」
（What are you doing? How dare you use me to attack my servant!）
I ignored the ranting and continued to wield my magic sword.
I catch the skeleton’s sword, and crush its bones.
I blow away the ghost’s magic and slash through the entire robe.
The …… bodily fluids were slightly disgusting, so I used fire magic to burn off the zombies from a distance.
I killed the monsters that attacked me.
（Ignore what people are saying, if it’s …… then how about this!）
Right after I said something, the magic sword became heavier all at once. I almost dropped it.
With a blur, the magic sword slammed into the ground with the force of a kitchen knife dropping onto tofu.
（How’s that? Fuhaahahahahaha I can do this, too. I am now as heavy as a giant dragon.）
「Giant dragon? What’s up with the law of conservation of mass and all that?」
I couldn’t help but question it on my mind…… It is not a line of dialogue that would be said unless it’s in a different world.
（What are you gonna do? You gonna keep your hands off me? That’s fine then, isn’t it? I’ll be taken from you by the army of the dead…）
「Fu~nu!」
I put all my strength into my waist and pulled out the magic sword as hard as I could.
It’s heavy, sure, but not to the point where it’s unmanageable.
I used centrifugal force to spin the magic sword around like a hammer thrower.
The Warriors are back! The army of dead spirits is defeated again and again.
（That’s bullshit! Why are you swinging me? Aren’t I heavy?）
「No, you’re heavy. You can see that.」
If it wasn’t heavy, I wouldn’t be swinging like this.
（Not to such a level!）
More ranting from the magic sword.
After crushing the skeleton that was closing in on me (I don’t know how many anymore), I saw something glowing through the bones that were lying on the ground.
I saw a familiar light – a lottery ticket.
I see… sometimes you get them even after killing monsters like this.
I’m feeling motivated. I picked up the pace and beat them.
By the time I had defeated all the monsters in her army, my back was drenched in sweat.
After I finished, I went around collecting the lottery tickets.
I’ve counted them since then, and they were dropping at a rate of roughly one every hundred creatures. I wonder what it is the percentage of the drops.
（Bastard, what are you doing?）
The magic sword asked.
「What do you mean, I’m picking up …… this?」
I flashed the lottery ticket while holding the magic sword.
There are no words. But I could feel in my head that the magic sword was in some distress.
…… Can’t you see it?
I wonder if this lottery ticket is invisible to anyone but me. I’ll ask her next time I go to the lottery.
But the 「next time」 came surprisingly quickly.
When I picked up all the lottery tickets, I had exactly ten, including the previous ones.
There are ten lottery tickets, and with these, I can play eleven times.
I decided to go ahead and spin it as soon as possible.
How do I get there, or do I just walk around randomly?
I want to go there, I thought in my head as I walked around the forest at random with my magic sword.
Suddenly, I noticed that the scenery had changed completely.
Before I knew it, I had come to that room from the dimly lit forest.
The lottery room, staffed properly.
So this is how I can come here.
I went to the staff member …… and went to the lottery machine.
「Hey, I’m here for the lottery.」
「Sir, I don’t like it when you bring in people who have nothing to do with us.」
I don’t know why the staff member said that and looked at me with a frown.
「Eh? Someone who doesn’t belong? I don’t have anyone with me.」
「So who’s that over there?」
The staff member points behind me.
I turned around and saw a little girl there.
She was a young girl, about five years old, in a dress, and she was staring at her palms with a surprised look on her face.
「This is what I looked like when I was a human being at …….」
「I?」
The first person pronoun and tone of voice sounded familiar. Could it be that, that is this little girl…?
I don’t know how it happened, but I can handle this. You’re dead!」
The little girl rushed …… at me, but I calmly stopped her.
I stick out your hand and hold her head down.
The little girl did the …… spoilt brat punch.
A cute and adorable childish punch that looks too perfect to be scary.
A childish punch that doesn’t hit, a little girl with tears in her eyes.
The little girl jumped away.
「Damn! It’s no wonder I haven’t had a physical body in hundreds of years. But now, without me as a sword, you can be defeated by the spirits of the dead.」
「Mu」
「Come forth! Army of the Dead.」
She thrust her hand up. I braced myself.
The scene.
Nothing happened.
「Why?! Why isn’t anything coming out?!」
「……」
I lower your guard. I kind of get it.
No, I don’t know why she’ s in this shape, but I know that she can’t do anything about it now.
So, I put it off.
「Excuse me, I’ve got ten tickets, let me draw lots.」
「Don’t ignore me every time, naaaaaaa」
She slapped me from behind.
pokapoka, pokapoka
Damn, isn’t she cute? I feel like turning around and patting her on the head.
I felt the most menace so far.
