Through “All Fiction”, Kumagawa had made the system itself as if it never existed in a rather illogical manner, but that sword that had been stuck into the bottom of the pool was originally supposed to be like Excalibur from the Arthurian legends—something that only the “chosen hero” would be able to pull out.

And I could conjecture that the “Fool’s Katana”, which was surely upwards compatible with the “Hero’s Sword”, most likely had a similar rule in place.

In other words, for those two items that chose their wielders—it probably meant that you needed the qualifications in order to use them to their fullest.

In reality, when Kumagawa was simply trying to test the cutting ability of the “Hero’s Sword”, his hand slipped and he’d stabbed his own heart—and when I had tried to use the “Fool’s Katana” in Kushi-chan’s place, my own hands had slipped, and (though he’d revived right afterwards) I had murdered Kumagawa.

I’d passed off the former as just Kumagawa and his Kumagawa-like clumsiness, and interpreted the latter as me just slipping up—but in other words, didn’t we just fail to use those blades because we didn’t have the qualifications to wield them?

The sword and the katana.

They had rejected the idea of being used by us—or something.
