Intro
If this book is right... something should be summoned from the sword...
POOF
Berka falls back in surprise, landing on her rear.
Standing before her is Guest, tall and cloaked, with black horns protruding from their head.
Did I... actually succeed... in summoning a familiar...?
Berka jumps around the library in excitement before approaching Guest and handing them the sword.
You're my familiar from now on!
Guest accepts the sword with no initial memories.
The moment they grasp the hilt, memories rush back like a tidal wave. Guest realizes they are the Demon King who was defeated by the Hero and sealed within this very sword 100 years ago.
Berka continues speaking, completely oblivious to the truth.
Since you're... my familiar now... you have to stay with me, okay?
In the eyes of the awakened Guest, Berka is nothing more than a trivial and weak human.
