The legendary blood-starved demon sword, CANNIBALISMER.

A demon sword that gives off an overwhelming ghostly presence. When was it, that I started carrying it by my own volition...

A demon sword that thrives on human blood!! I expect to add its strength to our ranks!

Understood. I shall remove its seal.

CALL THE LEGENDARY SWORD!!

Whut?

C... Call?

p091
E... Errr… We ARE talking about a sword here, right?

We don't have to remove a seal, but... CALL IT? What the hell?

Yes! Call it!! I've carried the sword myself, so I should know.

(beep boop baap)

Ah, hello?

Yes, yes.

What did it say?

Ah, no, a woman answered.

She said to come over if it's about the sword.

Probably a maid.

HUH?! The legendary sword has a maid!?

Alright! You shall depart for the legendary sword at once!

D... depart... where to?

Look, there's a convenience store in the second district called "OX Mart."

From there on out, to your left, it's the 3rd house with the red roof.

T-the legendary sword lives in a place like that!?

p092
T-

The legendary sword lives HERE!?

(tomoko)

Oh! You're already here!?

Ah... a maid...

Sorry, I didn't think you'd be coming over so soon...

Mister Canniba is just taking a bath right now.

HUH? A BATH?
(a sword bath?)

Miss Tomoko
It's fine, let him in

Oh, are you sure?
(scratch scratch)

Is this the legendary sword's voice!?

(he sounds like Nenji Kobayashi)

Please follow me.

Here it is.

Ah...

T-thank you very much.

Aah-- Don't be shy, step on in.

Right, I'm coming in then.

Oh boy, you sure caught me with my pants down.
(crack)

p094
This...

This, is the legendary sword...
(ahaha, wait for me)
(catch me if you can)

I've put in some navel skins to enhance the scent, nice huh?

They taste great, but they smell great, too... These navels sure are a poor thing to waste.

And so...

It's true I used to crave human blood, and the likes...

But I guess ones taste palette matures as well.

Nowadays, I prefer to snack on something light, like ochadzuke* with some salted salmon...
