"But first of all, we'd better see leaving this area for now, I don't want other monsters to show up at any time to surprise us."

"Scree."

Next to me when we—I mean I was walking and Honedge was floating quietly to reach an area with two-three tree around.

In fact Honedge floated quietly closer and closer to me, far too quietly close to me.

It drifted slightly... then without warning, its blue fabric wrapped around my forearm.

"...Eh-"

Strangely it didn't seem aggressive, or even unpleasant as a sensation.

Just... laid down and her may be the unpredictable action in herself that surprised me but he kept on slightly tied around my arm.

As if it were the most natural place in the world where it was supposed to be.

"Scree~"

A sound that I felt surprisingly almost lazy.

Like he's moving in.

I blinked his eyes looking him clearly in the eyes, or rather in the eye.

"...What are you doing here."

"Scree~"

No hostile intention, and then the fabric tightened even more slightly.

Not to coerce.

Rather... to stay.

"Oh, uh, I see, you're probably the sticky type, you."

No answer at the moment, just that presence.

Stable.

Silent and strangely comfortable.

I blow slightly through my nose.

"...Well."

I lifted my head.

"...first of all."

I raised my hand, with my eyes fixed on him.

"...you need a name."

The fabric moved a bit.

As a sign of attention.

Then I blew from the nose.

"...Ok."

"...So you're really the kind... sticky."

The fabric tightens slightly.

As an answer.

"...Yeah, I get it."

I looked up at him.

"...Well, you can't just stay with "Honedge" as your name."

I leaned slightly, looking down at him from top to bottom.

"In addition to that, you're basically my all-First Pokémon and I'm of the opinion that those who don't name their starters at least, aren't even worth recognizing."

His purple eye stared at me, always attentive.

"...And so essentially I have to find a name that goes well to a sword that chooses its partner..."

I'm thinking.

"...Escalibur...?"

The name came out on its own.

Escalibur, the sword of the promised victory.

Class.

Noble.

Honedge vibrated slightly on himself.

"Scree." )::

(...Not convinced it seems to me, but rightly so, I mean even I think his doesn't fit, but...)

"...Hmm."

I squinted my eyes.

"...Yeah, no."

I made a vague gesture on the other side of the lake while shouting openly."

"Scaling throws Sacred Sword."

Strangely he immediately followed my instruction and stood in front of me.

"Screeee?"???

Before turning to me with a look full of question mark.

"Ahhh, don't worry, I just wanted to see how it would be if I commanded you in battle."

"Scree?" ( •~• )?

I was very prepared to ask me how it was.

"Well... "

I'm thinking about how I felt when I launched the command.

 "Hmmmm... that's too... classic hero."

The fabric moved slowly.

As if he approved.

"Okay, so you don't like it either."

I cross my arms by putting my hands to my chin.

(Think Bern—Noah, a good name for a ghost sword that doesn't sound a little generic.)

Then followed by about thirty different names that I proposed, and who unfortunately we met a not so enthusiastic answer.

-Moon Blade 🙅🙅🙅

-Heartseeker🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅

-Dream strike🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅

-Lion's tooth🙅🙅🙅🙅

-Blood sword🙅🙅🙅🙅

-Darkness🙅🙅

-Venomshank🙅🙅

Even Ghostly Crusader the deepest of my attempts has encountered Honedge's indifferent look.

Then I decided to take stock of what Honedge is.

"First, you're a blade."

A pause to think.

"...A living or rather ghostly blade."

Another pause to think again.

"...A dark and unpredictable blade... and that cuts sharply."

My eyes came up to him.

"...An execution."

Silence.

Then—

The fabric stretched.

The air around him vibrated slightly.

"Scree."

Further down.

More... intense.

I felt a thrill.

"...Oh."

I smiled slightly.

"...that's what you're talking about."

I raised my hand.

"...Execution."

I let the word resonate.

"...A little long and certainly got a lot more cringing than Darkness"

I leaned my head.

 "...but reducing his would do something like..."

"...Exe."

A short silence.

Then—

The ribbon hugs around my arm.

More firmly this time.

Not painful, but very surely clear.

"Scree!" ✨

I let go of a little laugh.

"...Ok."

"...Exex then."

—PING—

Then suddenly a noise that I know only too well, made me jump at the moment, immediately warning Honedge newly named Exe.

And the source of se was simply a screen that is without shouting Gard at pop up in my field of vision.

Yes, a screen.

[ LINK ESTABLISHED ][ PARTNER REGISTERED: EXE ]

"...Oh."

I blinked.

"So he really had one and it's only active now?"

"Scree."

Exe was floating next to me, and much closer than before.

A second panel appeared.

══════════════[ INVENTORY ]══════════════

[Smoke Ball ×3]

[Honey Gather (Talent)]

[Camping Gear

[Mysterious Egg]

[PokeBall ×5]

══════════════════════════════════════════

Ahhh... I completely forgot that I had it was something with me.

But for the Pokéball?

Suddenly, the image of Professors Sycamor and Kukui appears in my mind.

(...Thank you again for your help.)

No useless stuff.

And slowly ready the essentials.

I touch the screen and select the Pokéball, I select 1 alone and it immediately appears on my harness.

Which was pretty surprising to me because I thought it would appear in my hand or somewhere nearby.

(Well, anyway, so much what's there.)

I take it in my hands and I hold in my hands the most iconic object of all Pokémon, even if it was still in mini mode.

(Hmmm....if I remember correctly in the anime, he usually presses a button?)

I press the small button on the back of the ball and it immediately increased in size.

(Well....then.)

Then I turn my gaze on Exe, who is always floating next to me and is looking at me with curiosity. ́

"Screee?"

"So, exe, are you coming with me?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Then Exe tilted slightly towards me.

I inhale a big blow, and then I tapped the Pokéball.

Click!

A red ray wrapped Exe disappearing into the sphere without resistance.

The Pokéball fell to the ground.

A shock.

Two.

...Three—

Click.

I'll stare at the Pokéball for a few seconds, holding it in her fingers carefully.

A smile, this time more sincere, appeared on his face.

"Welcome to the team, Exe."

The Pokéball barely vibrated, almost like a heartbeat.

Then immediately after the panel that always displays the inventory its update.

{ ACTIVE SCAN : REGISTERED ENTITY }

[The blue eye on the sword's hand guard is the true body of Honedge. With its old cloth, it drains people's lives away.]

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════

I took an inspiration, not very surprised, speaks of the current little movement of Exe.

(We'll take care of it later, for now, he has to always stay at my side now.)

I press the Pokeball button.

-Flash-

Exe reappeared, and soon reappear exactly the same place and the exact same position as it was all time.

Always tied to my arm.

I blinked.

"You came straight back to me."

The fabric tightens slightly.

"Scree~"

"... Okay, you're really something else."

I pointed at the Pokéball.

"So it's just an administrative formality that's probably not necessary in our context but not serious."

I sighed slightly, but a smile formed anyway.

". Officially welcome to the team, Exe."

Exe vibrated slowly.

"Scree."

I nodded my head.

"Yeah."

Then I raise a finger.

"On the other hand, we're going to have to make some rules."

"— Rule number one: avoid surprising me with weird movements around my body."

The fabric tightens slightly.

"—...Yes, I know, it's literally your way of getting closer, but still."

"Scree~"( °~°)

"Okay, I see you agree."

"— Rule number two: if something tries to kill me or kill us," I vaguely pointed at the forest."—You manage on the front line, the possible threat to the best of you are capacity and my commands.

Little pause.

"—And rule number three: if I do something stupid that I am in danger..." I sigh lightly."—...you also manage, but it's also vice versa heard."

Silence.

"Scree."

Validation.

"Perfect, now we move from this dangerous place."

I look around.

The plain has not changed during my rambling with Exe, but I am sure that this area is filled with unpleasant surprise.

But now—

She seemed... a little less unfair.

I rested my gaze on Exe.

— Good.

I turned slightly on myself.

"First of all things...

I pointed the trees away.

"We move from here.

And so Exe and I spent the last 10 minutes walking in a random direction. During this period of time, I have been thinking about my goal in this world and what I really want to do right now.

And for a rather fruity period in reflection.

(Explores the world is probably not a bad idea, because, given all that the teacher told me, it could be that there is much more to discover than the general parameters of Danmachi.)

Then in the same way of thinking, a realization my comings to mind.

(But I would first have to have a place that I can definitely call home and currently I am practically without a sub—)

-Croak-

(Eh???)

And even before I could grasp what had just happened, my vision suddenly changed everything, at the moment I felt like I had and propelled backwards at full speed. 

When my vision returned to normal, I was head on the reverse inside of a monstrous filled with sticky and very odorous mucus.

Well, everything for the content as they say.
