Alma POV 1/5

-----

I had finally gotten the damn Mana Core! I couldn't use it myself because I lack Mana, or well, I can't use mana.

But I got this dagger artifact, I bet it can do something interesting. If I can get it to work, I could defend myself in the worst-case scenario!

But I have to first see what the heck is this dagger.

It looks rusty, but made of golden material, it does seem to emanate a very ancient presence, but it is so old it had grown incredibly weak.

It has a few blue-colored jewels stuck to it, every time I see it, I can see strange little sparks of light inside each jewel… as if there was a spiraling universe inside.

Must be just some optic illusion, there are a lot of pretty jewels back on Earth, I bet in this magic world it is not impossible for a magic jewel to make such illusion.

I wonder what kind of jewels are they? Just decoration? Perhaps water attribute due to being blue?

The dagger also has some slight lines made of bluish metal as well, giving a very beautiful, streamlined appearance. After I cleaned it from dust using a handkerchief, it is ready to be given the mana core!

It even has a little socket where you can put it inside. So I threw it in and then…

The dagger began to glow with a bright white light.

Wow…

FLASH!

Uagh! Way too bright, I would say!

The light was consuming my entire room, I got worried that it might end up calling the attention of people outside or something…

However, the light dissipated quickly after, and some guards came rushing right after!

Opening the door, they found me reading a book in the floor, very innocently!

I had put the dagger right below my dress while sitting, and my dress is a big princess dress, so it fits.

"Princess! W-What was that light?"

"Light? What are you talking about?"

"The light… we saw a flash."

"Eh? You must be hallucinating! I didn't see anything. I've been reading this book this whole time." I said.

The two guards looked at each other and decided to move away, already getting inside of the room of the princess was a grave violation, were they dare inspect my room they would be reprimanded by my father by violating my privacy!

"Now get out." I said, as the two nodded timidly and moved away.

Phew! I almost didn't made it… And what the heck was that? This stupid dagger glowed so much… But nothing else happened!

"Ah, these are some nice panty designs, indeed."

EH?

Suddenly, the voice of something comes right from below my dress.

I squirm in horror as I move away, feeling as if a bug was crawling beneath my lower female parts.

There, I saw the dagger moving around, it now had six tiny legs! What the fuck is going on?!

"Ah! Well, hello there! You're the cute little princess that woke me up?" he asked.

It had the voice of a playful young guy, I don't know how to describe it better. But he indeed had the voice of a talking dagger, it fit.

"I-I did… W-What are you?! I thought you could be a nice weapon to help me in dire times…" I said. I still couldn't get the shock out of my mind that the dagger was actually alive?!

"Hm, I can help you out in that regard, I think. It shouldn't be too hard to protect such a pretty elven girl such as you." Said the dagger, slowly crawling towards me.

I don't know why but I've been always terrified with bugs, so seeing it crawl with six legs made me almost puke.

"Uegh… G-Get away from! Don't get closer! Who are you anyways? How can you talk? Explain something!" I cried.

"Ah…! A-Are you disgusted by me?! I am an amazing Living Weapon! How can you…? Sigh, fine, let me explain it…" the dagger sat down with its two pair of legs while the front ones began to move around as if explaining me things. He was very expressive. I even noticed he had two tiny black eyes that had come out of  nowhere within the tips of his handle.

"Do not fear, I am amazing! I am an old relic of your elven family! Not many can wake me up! Aside from having a mana core, you gotta have the bloodline of Oberon with you, and you do! So from now on, we'll be partners in crime." Said the dagger.

"Oberon? You're a relic… Who made you? What is your purpose?"

"Purpose? Not much, just be a talking weapon, aid my masters in what they need… talk about the wisdom of my creator, and so on." He said.

"Who's your creator?"

"Are you kidding me? You can't guess? The latest elf Venerable? No? One of your ancestors? No? Seriously?!" he asked angrily.

"Ah… I…"

"Fine, I will tell you her name… or well, her title, Moon Princess of Starlight Immortal Venerable! She was known as the knowledgeable and led Alfheim to prosperity and to a perpetual peace with the other Realms! She's direct descendant of Oberon." Said the dagger.

"S-She?! So you're a divine weapon of such amazing power?" I asked.

"Hmm, it could be said so. But I am weakened… You see, when no one is contracted with me, I go into a dormant state, and the world itself naturally drains all my energy, so I end up with a lot of potential but little power to actually use it!" he cried.

"I-I see… Why did she created you?" I asked.

"As a family treasure! She left me behind to protect the one I deem as chosen one." Said the dagger.

"And you chose me in a whim?" I asked.

"W-Well, I couldn't reject being your weapon when you let me see those sweet, sweet pink panties! And those plump little legs… You're way too precious! I must become your weapon!" he said.

"Ugh, I can't believe you're a disgusting lolicon dagger…" I sighed.

What kind of weapon is this?!
