"H... hey, Grandma?" you ask, your voice wavering. "What happened to my sword?"
"I was wondering when you'd get around to asking about that..." Agnes says, shaking her head. "The ice around it melted when that Gilbeault boy fainted, but it's in pieces."
"Pieces!? But it was just the hilt-"
"It might have just been the ice holding it in place after the impact, I don't know," she sighs. "But it's in pieces... Luciana had her bodyguard gather them all together for you, though."

Agnes points across the room to a table where the broken bits of your sword are lying on top of a cloth.

"Oh... oh man..." you mumble.
"I know..." Citrine says, wiping tears from her eyes. "That thing's the only reason why we're both alive right now, I understand how you feel."
"If it's any help, I do know the blacksmith who forged it," Agnes says. "While it wouldn't exactly be the same sword, I could always have it reforged for you."

"Really!?" Citrine gasps. "Reinhold, you gotta do tha-"
"It'll take a few days to be finished, though..." Agnes says. "...if you even want me to, that is. And I don't know how long you guys will be in town."
"How long -will- we be here, anyways?" you ask, turning to Sylvie.
"We're leaving the day after tomorrow, last I heard," Sylvie replies.
"Hmm... I could have it shipped to you after it's completed," Agnes says.
"We can stick around until it's finished and bring it to you directly, if that's what you want," Marius chimes in. "It's not like we have anything better to do, and I'd like to make up for getting you into this whole thing somehow..."

"Umm, there might be something else you can do..." Sylvie begins.

MAGIC CRYSTAL BASTARD SWORD HYBRID GO

Wait isn't regi a metal wizard? Why not practice some magic then reforge it with that?

Monique's gonna be PISSED when he finds out Reinhold just got his sword fixed like it was no big deal.

>>29738991
>ask Sylvie what she was going to suggest

And if she doesn't bring it up, then we should bring up the bracelet.

>>29738991

We have affinity to metal magic. Can't we learn a spell to create swords? Then we can break all we want.

Archelon
I GOT A VOTE IN ADDITION TO SYLVIE PLEASE RESPOND AND READ OKAY?

>>29739222
Metal Magic just creates the metal, it doesn't forge it. We aren't blacksmiths so we can't forge it. I doubt we have the arm to work a hammer anyway.

>>29739222
because we barely started learning magic a month ago

>>29739092

These. The possibilities of this would be amazing, since it'd be like having a sword that levels up with us.

We should probably start with something other than Volker's sword.

>>29738985
Damn earlier than I expected. Okay, I'm here to read and vote in a cordial manner and enjoy this quest, after I grab a shower.

YAY! Lets get more info and friend reactions to the duel.

I am very curious how Marianne will react to us directly and how Mathias will react to Monique

>>29738991
>go with Agnes's idea

>>29739287
I think Niklaus would be interested in an idea like that. We should bring that up when we get back.

>>29739321
The duel was a result of winning the first duel and punching Monique in the face also the painting it wasn't just some random thing to break our sword.

>writing

>>29739222
Because we would need to find someone competent enough with magic to do that.

We could start looking the castle nursery or an orphanage.

It seems like there is a janitor in this thread.
Thats a happy thought.
>>29738991
>>ask Sylvie what she was going to suggest
hopefully i don't get banned for making that joke.
>>29739224
Not really he only broke it to even the score.

Could we get another sword from the same blacksmith?

We'll get the old one reforged/magicked and get a spare from the smith. It's not like funding is a problem and i know we carry daggers but another quality blade is useful.

>>29739287
These are quite far off from being a thing, so please refrain from discussing it and getting a bunch of people riled up until we at least get the bracelet back for first examination.

>>29739353
I'm just saying, man. Narratively speaking it was pointless due to how it was executed and now there are no real repercussions for loss, either. The only thing it MIGHT have done is good Luci married off to Monique, but we have to wait and see.

>>29739222
Because it is way to early for us atm. Sure we could do this in the future, but we'll need another sword until then.

>>29739382
Shit let's do like Volker and get a whole stack of them, just for our next duel with Monique

If only that'd happen finally be rid of her but, I doubt we will be so lucky. It also stopped the king's shadowruns and opened the way to potential character development in everyone.

>>29739461

I don't think the anti-monique guys will even allow that and you can't forget reinholds friends, but maybe a spar is possible.

>>29739483
>I don't think the anti-monique guys will even allow that

They better

We have no reason to be nothing but polite to Monique, this fulfills two purposes that satisfy both camps on the matter

If we congratulate him for the duel and say that we were happy to fight a sealed king this

-Makes him feel like a tremendous hypocrite and an asshole

And

-Gives us the chance to fight that sealed king again

No matter which side you're on, whether you hate him or love him, it's a perfect solution.

>>29739479
>opened the way to potential character development
which will be stopped by a wave of waifu fags and shippers.

>>29739504
The princess said Reinhold's name

>>29739461
Lets not even challenge him though.

Next time we see him, we should act like we dont care /that much/ if our sword broke. Then we can say *something along the lines of*:
>Just like how you won your status as captain in the border guard by riding off your fathers coat-tails, you won the duel by exploiting a loophole so you can let something do the work for you.
>You're not a great swordsman. You're "That Guy With the Sealed King, Monique". Just like with everything in your life, it was attained through the work of others. Pa~thetic.

That's the only way I can see us getting back at him right now.

Could you not technically report that as illegal content? I'm pretty sure communicating threats or stating your intent to commit arson has to be a crime SOMEWHERE.

>>29739517
Turtles don't have houses dum dick

Guys, if we have the time, could we tell Luci (or Sylevie) our backstory. I am tired of using the excuse of our trauma to avoid dificult decisions. I feel that if Rein can sit down with one of the girls that are pursuing him and tell them what are his problems it would help clear so many of the misunderstanding they have on Rein.

I just want to sit down and lay the cards on the table, telling them exactly what type of man is Rein and then giving them the choice if they want to continue the relationship with Rein.

Plus I feel that this is a good way to develop Rein, and try to leave our Trauma behind.

I suggested Luci because she is the most aggressive suitor Rein has, so it might help get her to understand us and stop being so forward, but I would not be opposed if someone suggested Sylvie.

>>29739595
Hey now, it took the tsun over 100 threads to show a little dere! Thats more progress than killing a transforming ladyboy.

>>29739626
Don't worry Anon, her father is probably telling her atm that she is going to marry Monique so it won't matter in the end.

>>29739617
I suppose so, but reports for illegal content have a higher priority than the other two, and it likely isn't a legitimate threat so it would be sort of a waste.

>>29739626
Sylvie's already heard as most of it sans Spinelle suff IIRC.

>>29739617
well considering my sylvie a shit joke got deleted and gave me a ban warning in under 2 minutes, i'm surprised that post is still there.
>>29739661
Sylvie just heard the excuse not the whole story, if we are gonna tell her our past might as well tell Nico and sylvie.

>>29739626
I'd rather not talk about rape to people because
1. It's awkward and a personal issue
2. (IC) It's hard for a victim to just come out and talk about it

We've already made it clear that we're just not in the state of mind for a relationship right now.

>>29739650
trolling and complaining

>>29739626
I also prefer Luci, and I think Sylvie kind of already knows about us. Lucianna deserves to know about the guy she's interested in

>>29739682
shhhhhh don't talk to it

>>29739626

Sylvie already knows about it.

I see no reason for us to tell Luciana unless she asks us. Reinhold should just leave the past alone instead of opening it back up.

Even then, if it is told, I'm curious for the reaction.

>>29739680
This makes me wonder if we told Marie about the shota rape/abuse/emotional abuse and if we did in detail.

"What are you talking about to rambling buffoon?"

"Our duel remember? You challenged me at the party? My duel with Setsuranka was pretty crazy and all, but I'm still really looking forward to dueling you!"

>>29739680
Actually I just want to tell Luci (or the others) everything to finally try to get over the trauma. I just want to destroy the excuse that is muh trauma so we can advance the plot. This duel is the time for rebirth, lets clear the air and stop leading the girls.

>>29739545
That just sounds childish and petty.

I'm hoping the next time we see him he looks glum so we can throw some sarcasm at him.

"Why aren't you celebrating Monique? You won the duel, the people absolutely adored your display of skill."

>>29739718
We did, but not in detail.

>>29739719
That'd almost be worth the ensuing bullshit.

>>29739680
Can we ask Sylvie and Lucianna to stop fighting each other/flirting with us?

Because it's making us uncomfortable to even try to learn magic.

>>29739673
Probably because some asspained mod is a Sylvie fan. That kind of stuff happened to me often when I would complain about the Rails in GuP Quest BlackJack version. I think some mod was a fan and couldn't handle that I expressed my opinions as to why exactly the quest seemed to be on rails, and how bullshit it was that Miho was in the fucking forest oh my fucking god I'm having flashbacks

>>29739718
I think she got the jist of it.

She understands Spinelle is bad touch

"You had an idea?" you ask.
"Yes, umm..." Sylvie mumbles as she adjusts her glasses. "...Mr. Niklaus explained to me how the crystals in your bracelet work, and I'm pretty sure that it would be possible to have it consume the bits of your sword and make it whole again."
"Wait, really?" you say as you glance at your bracelet... which is now a very dull matte.
"I'm pretty sure that it could work," she nods. "If we ask Mr. Niklaus after we get back, I'm sure that he'd be more than happy to help!"

That's certainly an idea...

"I think I'd be able to manage it myself too..." Sylvie says. "I'm not completely used to it since my father wouldn't let me directly assist Mr. Niklaus in his experiments with it, but I know all the theories behind it."
"Umm... theories behind what?" Citrine asks. "I noticed you wearing that weird bracelet, is there something special about it?"
"I have to admit that I'm also a bit lost," Agnes says.


>tell them about it
>don't tell them about it

>>29739626
I agree. We might not talk about the rape part, because it's really hard for victims to talk about it, but we do need to tell Luciana about where we came from. It'll probably help with our issues too

>>29739718
no, we told her about lots of bad shit in our childhood but left everything about spinelle out. mari may know that something happened due to our slip when we were frozen to a wall, but she doesn't know what

>>29739732
I'm hoping we finally find out about those details.

>tell them about it

We should tell them about it, but still get a second sword anyway from the blacksmith.

Remember why Volkner got a second sword? It was in case the first one broke. We should at least follow suite in case our sword breaks again. And besides, we don't exactly know if it can fully repair Volkner's sword and make it the same quality as it was before.

>>29739773

>>29739845
Oh i thought you guys meant the rape and physical abuse.

>>29739761
>>tell them about it

Can we go to a weapons shop to shop for new weapons? Our sword is broken. Let's get a better one.

>>29739848
No, tell one of them everything, except maybe the rape part, being open with them would just help Rein clear his heart out and try to deal with their advances (specially with Luci). Also it would force the girls to reflect on how little they know about Rein.

>>29739719
Well this sounds like a good idea.

>>29739878
No one knows about that and I doubt Reinhold would just talk about it.

>>29739848
I'd say another reason would be low self-esteem (swording is worthless in pretty much every way imaginable, not qualified for our job at all) which makes their inexplicable attraction to us feel all the more unwarranted.

>>29739545
>>Just like how you won your status as captain in the border guard by riding off your fathers coat-tails

no one knows about spinelle stuff besides citrine, closest is mari and she only has an idea that SOMETHING happened that messed us up, but she doesn't know the details

>>29739761
Either way, it's not the sword it was. Volker would probably think that reforging it in the pit of a crystal beast would be pretty cool.

>>29739888
I agree.

Maybe we'll get a better sword this time.

Or maybe we'll stumble onto a legendary sword talked about in myths along the way to the shop.

>>29739848
I might agree with the idea but the execution is poor.

Why even mention Marianne?

Honestly just telling them that the rivalry has escalated to an unbecoming level and that they're both wonderful young women, but we don't want them at odds over us.

And that we ourselves appreciate them as friends, maybe one day we will start thinking about relationships, but not today.

>>29739848
I'd be fine with it.

>>29739893
He's already told Marianne. The reason to tell the other girls is stop leading them on.

>>29739940
Oh yeah, I agree not mention Marie.

>writing

>>29739976
Because she's been learning longer than us and has had access to high-frade magic tutors?

>>29739976
>why can't we use zephyr wing but
We can anon, but we can't get the special snow flake treatment that PC sometimes get.
Also for that spell we just have to ask sylvie to teach it to us.

>>29739931
At the very least I wish that Princess Fluffytail and her Weeaboo kingdom think Monique is a dishonorable cur, Sealed King or no.

Not gonna happen though.

>>29739921
>>29739976
Not only is shopping not banned, we can in fact learn just about any spell we want.

Shopping for weapons was "banned" because our sword was superior to anything we could buy, so there was no point.

Reinhold needs a 一撃必殺

>>29739976
we haven't tried learning zephyr wing. remember, we are learning magic, but we started a month ago and spend half our waking time guarding mari, and the other half involves training with both spells and swords, learning our way around the castle, practicing sketching, and reading up on various things, along with simply hanging with friends

>>29739777
I like this way of wording it since it doesn't ACTUALLY shit on Monique at all.

We learned that only the master of a Sealed King can communicate with it, and that they are sentient and able to, at the very least, cohabitate with their master in order for a period of time in order to interact with the outside world.

After all, the fight mostly got intense after the Sealed King revealed itself, so we probably feel justified in wanting to communicate that to her.

Monique can interpret it however he likes, and if he tries to apply extra meaning to it, we can just go "I learned more about what having a Sealed King entails, and I simply meant what I said. Since I can't tell that to her myself, I would appreciate it if you would pass it on without any additional baggage."

Could you guys just make an IRC or something so Arch doesn't have to see your bitching?

You guys are all fucking retards. Power gaming is not gaining power.

Powergaming is metagaming every ounce of power we can in order to become an unstoppable juggernaut.

This is the best response.

>>29740073
I think it's a bit of a hive affect.

As Arch said, the stadium wasn't full, so many people will hear about the duel threw word of mouth.
And you know how that goes.

>>29740018
>>29740062
Fuck it, just waifu the princess.

Since she the hardest to waifu, she got the most power to gain from.

Also, the whole fucking quest is about her, there even a bar about how we look at her psychopathic eyes. Right now, we are a dog tier that was demoted from wolf tier even while fighting a sealed king.

>>29740070
Archelon disagrees.

>>29740073
Everyone who isn't biased in our favor likes Monique.

>>29739626
Until something forces it to the front, and not just semi conscious mumbling while pinned to a wall, Reinhold is probably going to avoid the subject of his rape.

It's hard to approach without a catalyst forcing him to acknowledge it or that he has to take steps to deal with his issues.

So for now he'll continue coping as he has: Try to get stronger & value his own life very little in the face of a challenge.

>>29740046
>We learned that only the master of a Sealed King can communicate with it

This is only to hear it, it could hear us just fine during the duel

Guys, can you stop arguing now.
You're filling the thread, how about we go argue somewhere else
like a tinychat or something

>>29739976
We've only been doing magic for a month. I'm sure once we get good at it, we'll figure out how to improvise.

>>29740096
>she got the most power to gain from.
Except!

The Dragon Waifu gives the most power. And it'd be the most fun. Imagine adventuring with her. Damn, that'd be baller.

>>29740096
She gives the most political power, but if you want combat power then either sylvie or Rana are who you want.

>>29740096
I think Marianne might be the only person worse off psychologically than we are. And no, that doesn't mean we can mutually fix each other-it means we will probably both end up worse

>>29739920
Except win the swordsman tournament. Everything he did was by the sweat of his brow. No networking, no noble influence, nothing

>>29740100
No, he doesn't. Or we wouldn't be training under the most powerful swordsman in the entire kingdom, and have access to several magic teachers, who could teach us basically any spell we could ever want.

He wants us to WORK for it. Not get it handed to us.

>>29740142
can't adventure gotta be security guard

>>29740165
>the only person worse off psychologically than we are
its the opposite there we just buried our trauma deep with in all it takes is one trigger for it to comeback.(like seeing spinny or getting forcibly molested)

>>29740165
She's not even a problem psychologically.

She's a problem socially.
She understands perfectly fine what's wrong and right, she just has trouble voicing it.

The most dangerous psychologically are Monique (as shown) and Reinhold.
Sylvie is a bit concerning at times but I don't think she's crazy.

Oh, and Vincent.
But his response to everything is kill

>>29740122
I'm not sure we know for a fact that they can do so while not possessing their wielder, but you're right that it's probably a reasonable thing to think.

>"But the master is the -only- person who the elemental spirit can communicate with, so choosing a master is a rather big deal for them," Agnes explains.

It's kind of ambiguous, though, since "communicate" implies a two-way sharing of information, so it's probably better to go through more formal channels rather than going "HEY PANSY-ASS; BRING OUT THE REAL WINNER SO WE CAN HAVE A CHAT".

>>29740165
Your wrong there she just has major trust issues, you have to remember that at the failed dance we went into a zombie like trance after our attack, while she just became violent.

>>29740103
I want to try to make it clear to the girls where we stand, and to try to build a relationship with one of them before we get forcibly route locked into Marie like I fear we will.

>>29740207
and with the exception of her dad, she straight up refuses to show emotion for anybody other than disdain unless they are literally dying in front of her

>>29740165
Except evidence points to the contrary? Reinhold doesn't let Marie get away with her bitchiness and self-esteem issues and Marie doesn't let Reinhold get away with his fuck ups.

They do the exact opposite of enable each other.

Are we allowed to by weapons now?

>>29740250
This is really highest priority. We cannot guard without a weapon.

>>29740242
No, she's moody and vindictive, but she's shown care for others.
Even before Rein, because Luci and her have always been good friends.

>>29740249

>Reinhold doesn't let Marie get away with her bitchiness and self-esteem

We've made an effort to help her open up, but we have done nothing to stop her in action.
In fact, we took a step back snapping at her.

>>29740242
That's an outright lie. She apologized and showed remorse for her actions on the first fucking day we met her.

>>29740290
He's always thrown back her comments with snark or sarcasm or some kind of polite rebuttal. That was basically how he treated her to the entire first day was not letting her get away with her attitude. The snapping was dumb, but it was basically just a more vindictive version of what he always does.

>>29740250
I was planning on dropping by our Grandma's house and just grabbing a pile of swords off the wall and testing them out until we find one that we like so we have a replacement for the next couple days.

>>29740350
We need to just get a new sword talk to Marie then time skip the hell out of this shit hole.

>>29740350

We need to reclaim and properly fall back into old habits, as they are familiar.

I'm curious if Marianne will call us out on our lack of self preservation...

I wonder if we'll notice her own misplaced guilt as well?

>>29740406
I'm hoping we get two.
1.custom made by granny
2.Tina sword.

Anybody else think the dress in the Opening image is a little low cut for Marianne?

Also:

>Dat Face

>>29740416

I expect we will, it shows up in her spwech all the time.

Question is whether anon will seize on it.

>>29740416
If Marie calls us out, we should tell her that if we don't test ourselves, we'll never see how far we can go.

>>29740261
what about magical martial arts

>>29740406
I'd agree, but I still want to talk with Luci more. Or we could just take the cool people and adventure

>>29740442
I think it's a little LOW CHIN.

greeting mari is the only acceptable place for one last ice pun, if only to show that we're okay

>>29740470
An ice pun is a good way to greet her.

>>29740470
No, I don't think an ice pun is a good way to greet Marie. At least not this time, I feel like it'd be poking an open wound with a stick right now.

She feels really bad about the duel, after all.

>>29740470
Please, for one goddamn minute, can we lay off the ice puns.

>>29740512
This guy's got the right of it.

>>29740512
I thinks its best to show her that we are up beat and still the same old reinhold.

>>29740530
What's wrong with the ice puns? Do you think you're too cool for them or something?

>>29740512
This. The puns were shit from the start anyway and there were other ways to try and irritate Monique

>>29740512

This.

We can make a stupid joke but no ice puns.

>>29740512
Yeah, let's not remind her of the duel.

>>29740530
Not even if we beg her not to give us the cold shoulder?

>>29740512
I don't care one way or another about the puns or how we greet her, but we don't know in character that she feels bad about the duel.

Eh, there's no point in not telling them.

"This bracelet," you say as you hold it up so that everyone can get a good look at it, "The archmage back home gave it to me to test out while I'm up here in Marconetti. It has some kind of crystal things inside it that make it so that I can control it a bit."

You then concentrate a bit, commanding your bracelet to move... and form a long tendril that stretches from it, looping around your arm a few times before reabsorbing it into the basic bracelet shape.

"Whoa..." Marius gasps. "Just imagine the sculptures you could make out of something like that..."
"You've found a pretty cool toy there, Reinhold!" Citrine giggles.
"It certainly is interesting, if nothing else," Agnes says. "So you're saying that you can put that thing into Reinhold's sword?" she turns to Sylvie.
"I think so, yeah," Sylvie replies. "But I dunno if Reinhold would be able to move it around like he does. And he'd lose the bracelet itself, too..."

i'm not trying to bring them back in force or anything, but the way we greet mari has always been with a joke, and the best way to show that we're okay is to show her that we've still got the same stupid sense of humor she's had to put up with for the last month

Although, if we use Sylvie, it might become infused with the power of love, which means it would be the most powerful weapon on the planet.

But the mad scientist would probably make the new sword do something cool, like glow in the dark, or dispense wine,
