"What are you talking about?"
[Literally, you are the reincarnation of the first Crozzo!]
Reincarnation...
Me?
The first Crozzo's?
[It's only natural that you wouldn't believe it. Who would believe a ball of fire that suddenly showed up and started talking? But as the contractor of the first Crozzo, I'll tell you this: you are Crozzo's reincarnation.]
"..."
It was hard to believe, but it did make some sense.
From my damned father all the way to my grandfather, my ancestors had been cursed by a spirit and rendered unable to forge magic swords.
But unlike my ancestors, for some reason, I could make magic swords.
So that was because I was the reincarnation of the first Crozzo...
[Now then, onto the main point.]
"The main point?"
[Let's make a contract.]
"...Why?"
[Because I want to see your story.]
"It seems like a pretty unremarkable story to me."
[If the one watching calls it a masterpiece, then it's a masterpiece. Your story isn't unremarkable.]
"..."
[So? Will you make a contract?]
"...I will."
The red flame began to burn blue.
[Take my hand. Then the contract will begin.]
"..."
I grasped the blue flame blazing fiercely before me.
[I am the great spirit of flame, Urrs! It's a pleasure to work with you again!]
"...Again? Was there a first time?"
[...Ah.]
[Oh, the human world has changed a lot, hasn't it? How fascinating!]
"...My head's starting to pound, so could you maybe be quiet?"
Once the contract was sealed, the blue flame was sucked into my left arm, and along with a strange tattoo, Urrs took root there.
[So where are you going now?]
"To Hephaistos."
[You're going to get your Status updated?]
"That's right."
It had been a while since I'd had one, so I might as well get it updated after all this time.
"Hephaistos, I'm here for my Status update."
"...Ah, come in."
When I opened the office door in the Familia home, I saw Hephaistos wrestling with a pile of documents.
"Lie down over there."
Hephaistos pointed to a folding bed that looked brand new, and I obediently lay down.
"It's been a while since your last update. When did you change your clothes?"
"I got them in Lacia."
"Nice clothes."
With a prickling sensation, my Falna was updated, and Hephaistos wrote something down on a sheet of parchment.
"Hmm..."
"Hephaistos?"
[Looks like she fainted?]
"..."
"Hephaistos!?"
Just as Urrs said when I turned around, Hephaistos had fainted.
[She lost consciousness from the shock. It's fine, just look at the parchment first.]
"I'll lay her down first."
I put Hephaistos on the folding bed and checked the parchment she had only half-finished writing on.
