generation, but how is it that it is written on this old looking sword?”

“Marie, that’s because it is the Ruble-Raynae.”

“What! Is that true?”

Surprised, Margareta began to examine the sword once again. However, after making an ill sound, she put it back on the table.

“Valer, stop pulling my legs. I looked for any sign of magic to hide its identity, but there isn’t any.”

That was the most appropriate response. This is a sword, but not a sword at the same time.

“It is because you do not know how to use Ruble-Raynae. Do not be fooled by its appearance.”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

“Ruble-Raynae is a sword, but not a sword at the same time. Unlike its appearance, you may have thought that some powerful force is hidden inside the sword, isn’t that right?”

As Margareta pouted, that must have been her assumption.

“Hm… Are you saying that the use is different than from how it looks?”

“Exactly. This is a summoning tool”

As it would be quicker to demonstrate first hand, I held the Ruble-Raynae and recited a secret chant that has been passed down the generations of Pfalz feudal lord.

“Oh light that passes through dimension. Oh light that kills by slicing, kills by skewering and kills by cutting. Come to the hands of the swordsman who seek you.”

With those words, the appearance of an old sword was no more, and in its place was a brilliant long sword. Amazed, Margareta acutely stood up as she clenched her fists.

“Aaaahhh!”

Having seen the great sword, her eyes twinkled like the stars.

“This is the true Ruble-Raynae!”

“That’s right. As it is tucked away in some place in another dimension, it is possible to summon it using that old sword. It is a concept of replacing it, but how it works exactly, I am not sure either.”
