Main Character
Name: Teacher
Gender: Male (Mentally & Previous Life)
Race: Sword (Intelligent Weapon)
Age: 30 (Mentally & Previous Life)
Teacher is the Main Character of the story. He was reincarnated into the Fantasy World as a Sword. He is a caring and respectful person, especially to Fran, his user. He can only move around thanks to his skill "Telekinesis" to move around because he doesn't have limbs to do so. He communicates via "Telepathy" to whomever he wishes to do so. He learns abilities & skills via destroying a monster's core, which are crystals.
Teacher has a calm and sweet voice. He gets really excited over the things he enjoys, so he can be all over the place sometimes. [Example: English Voice for Satoru Mikami]
[Serious / Monologuing]
I slowly inched to some nearby bushes so I wouldn't be spotted. I was only a couple of meters from them now, and I decided to start with the higher-level goblin.
[Yelling / "Slick"]
"Put 'em up! Your crystals or your life!"
[I mpressed / Monologuing]
In a word, the girl's movements were beautiful. She gracefully closed in on the beast like an experienced swordsman and pierced its heart with one thrust. The girl was about to stab me to the ground again.
[Panicking]
Wait! Don't leave me in the ground, please!
[Explaining]
The ground here strips me of my power, I wouldn't be able to do anything if you left me here. Could I bother you to carry me just a little further?
[Proud / Monologuing]
Fran was so cute when she pumped her fists in the air with a blank expression on her face.
[Excited]
All right, time to go hunting! Let's kill those goblins!
Main Character
Name: Fran
Gender: Female
Race: Beastman (Black Cat)
Age: 12
Occupation: Adventurer
Fran is Teacher's user. Fran used to be a slave until she met Teacher and became his User. She's a child who has firm determination and a goal she wants to accomplish no matter what. Being a slave from a young age made her not show her emotions much. She has a blank expression most of the time as well as a blank tone to her voice, though she can be excited about things and smile.
Fran has a blank but cute voice. She doesn't express her emotions much, but she is still a child. [Example: English Voice for Kanna Kamui]
[Conversation With Teacher] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Who's there?"
Oh, you can hear me?!
"Who are you?"
I'm the sword you're trying to pull out.
"I'm shocked."
You don't look shocked...
"I am."
[Excited / Conversation With Teacher] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
Fra-
"I'm here!"
Well, someone is enthusiastic. She starred at the Hamburger with awe.
Wash your ha-
"Done!"
She put her hands up in the air as to show me. She'd been waiting for this.
"Thank you for your meal!".]
[Pouty / Conversation With Teacher] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
He's a good kid.
"You're not gonna fool me that easily."
Yeah?
"You didn't get yelled at. No fair."
Now, now.
"I took the brunt of it."
I said I was sorry.
"Then I want beef."
Okay.
"Roast beef."

He is a friendly and easy to talk to person.
Randell has a friendly and mature voice.
[Appreciative / Fran Just Saved His Life] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Oh, you don't have to talk to me if you don't feel like it."
Fran was the quiet type, but I couldn't understand how the man would misunderstand her response.
"If it's all the same with you, would you like a ride? You're headed to Alessa, aren't you?"
[Explaining] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"I mainly deal in food and weaponry. I know the price of common items like goblin horns, but I don't know enough about these items to give you a fair price for them."
We brought him a sword dropped by a goblin and he gave us 100G, which was more than I expected.
"It's made of bronze but it's still in good condition. The greens must've filched it off an adventurer."
[Friendly] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Well, I'll be heading back to my shop. Are you going straight to the guild, Fran?"
Hm.
"My shop's in the west along the main road. Can't miss it. Do come by if you have time."

[Concerned To Confused / Running Towards The Training Grounds] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Donadrond, sir! Please refrain from--huh?"
Oh, I see. She must've expected to see the newbie all beat up and bloody.
"Uh, what?"
Hahaha, she beat me good!
"This is no laughing matter, Donadrond."
[Explaining] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Will you be selling individual parts? There's a special area to the side in case the parts you're selling are too big or aren't carved yet. If it's still too big, we have a special room where we can properly assess its value."
[Having An Argument / Getting Mad] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Ugh. Maybe you need to reexamine your hunting procedure before you come complaining to us about it. Unlike soldiers whose sole duty is to fight, adventurers need to master other skills as well. Looking at you know, I don't think you're cut out for this adventuring business."

[Talking To Fran / Casual To Surprised]
"So, what's your name?"
Fran.
"Age?"
Twelve.
"What? So you really are as young as you look!"
[In The Middle Of A Fight / Notices Fran Running On Her Own] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Damn it! After her!"
Yes sir! I don't know if I'll be able to sleep at night if that little girl died in there.
"That's not what I'm talking about, you dumbass!"
Sir?!
"If we don't go after her, there won't be anything left for us to kill!"
[Serious / Not Having Any Of It] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Excuse me. We made sure to contact the Knight Brigade before the raid. We even contacted the Knight Brigade on the very day of the raid."
Hmph! More lies! In any case, give us half of today's rewards, all the Daemon materials, and the girl's belongings.

[Conversation With Fran / Has His Guard Up] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Let's assume you really are twelve. Where did you come from?"
That's a secret.
"Do you think I'll be satisfied with that?"
My lips are sealed.
"Good grief..."
Do I pass or not?
"You evenly matched Donadrond. Of course you pass. We are currently preparing your Guild card, just fill out these documents."
[In A Meeting With Fran] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Report."
Sir. We went to the site of the goblin's sightings. Fran was already on the location and the battle was over.
"I see... Fran, I would like to ask for further details but... *sigh*"
Yeah, here.
"Are these... hobgoblin horns?"
"Good grief..."
[Keeping His Cool / Meeting With Nobleman] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"I see. You must understand that the guild allows adventurers to keep the materials or whatever they could gather for themselves. If there were a crystal left for the girl to keep, then it is well within her rights. Further, she could have picked the Daemon clean of materials by the time Donadrond found her, yet she chose to share her spoils with the guild. She has been very gracious."

You'll sell your stuff to me?
"I only sell my gear to folks who deserve to use my gear, and you passed, little lady."
[Excited] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"What do we have here? Was that Telepathy? You really are sapient! This is great!"
You are acting like a child.
"Excuse me, I got a little excited there. In any case, you won't need any of my weapons with your abilities."
[Impressed] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"Holy... did you kill all these yourself? These are materials from C- and D-Rank monsters."
Pretty much.
"And you did it alone?"
I did it by myself to be precise. I just flew around with Telekinesis.
"Hahahaha! This is ridiculous! Well, that's one way to use that ability."

[Arguing]
"Hogwash. She could keep all the hobgoblin materials for all I care But high-rank Daemon materials are a different matter entirely. She cannot have them!"
[Arguing] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
"She lied to a nobleman. That is a crime in and of itself."
I repeat, she made a good-natured jest. I haven't been informed of this new law against jests.
"Regardless! I don't trust her Where is she from? Have you asked her that? What if she's a spy from another kingdom? I motion for her belongings to be confiscated! Do so, and I'll overlook this slight against my name!"
[Nervous] (Only Read The Lines Between "-")
Has the rest of the Brigade been informed of this? Does the Captain know?
"Of... Of course."
Then you wouldn't mind if I schedule a meeting.
