Dramatic Entrance of the Strongest Hero
A single katana is enshrined in a simple altar found at the innermost part of Ruins of Trials.
It looks like an ordinary katana with no excessive ornaments.
I never saw a single Japanese katana in this world before this. Can't believe the first one would be the hero's signature weapon.
"It's a katana..."
"It's a katana alright."
"Ka-ta-na? You mean that sword?"
"It has quite a unique shape, doesn't it."
Hm, guess the general populace in this world aren't familiar with katana.
Well I mean it does require a different way of handling than the usual chopping swords. It's a huge pain to forge to boot, would have been weirder if it was popular.
...Which made me realize how much Japan loves their unusual weapons. I love katana though.
"Anyway, why don't you take it?"
"O, ou... I won't suddenly go all, 'I shall turn this world into a festival of blood!', the moment I grab it, will I?"
"Why'd anyone turn a hero's weapon into a curse. What kind of trap is that."
"It's all right, Olivie and I will just get revived if you cut us down. As for this old man... You're probably gonna get yourself killed instead, Neora..."
"Can you even call that 'all right'. I mean, zero worries for Kajikawa-san huh."
Hero-kun timidly took up the katana and drew it out of its sheath.
The blade is as black as ink, and as lustrous as it it looks wet, with a neatly straight stripe on its sharply polished blade.
"What a beautiful katana. Is this really not a decorative sword, sure it's even usable in combat? ...!?"
Neora-kun's body is wrapped in a bright dazzling light a moment after he drew the katana.
No really, this is way too bright. They're going overboard with the special effect.
"Uwawawawa!? What!? What's going on!?"
"Calm down, Neora-kun! You're probably only shining as part of the special effects for your Job Change!"
"That description kinda cheapens the whole thing though!"
I mean, the special effects let out by Skills in this world generally do nothing more than being flashy except for a few cases like flame and lightning. Mana Blade's light for example.
This light is probably that kinda deal too. I don't feel any sort of power from the light itself.
Once the light subsided, only the confused Hero-kun remained with a sheathed katana in hand.
Oh? He doesn't look any different but his presence is clearly more powerful than before. Heck, he's pretty much on par with me now.
...He got this strong just from a Job Change? Oh man, heroes really are cheat.
No wait, it's prolly thanks to all the accumulated exp that all went into leveling him up after the Job Change.
Gotta check out his Stats.

"Uwow, that's some impressive stuff!?"
"W-what the heeeck!?"
I shouted out reflexively seeing the excessively strong Status.
Neora-kun sounded as surprised.
His Menu Function seems to have reactivated with Job Change.
<<Heyo, how've you been! Menu-chan made a comeback with your Job Change! You were helpless without me, weren't you? You kept dying from all the traps, didn't you? You realized how much I've been supporting you all this time now, right? You're exactly like a bum husband who realized how much his wife had been supporting him only after she went back to her parents home!>>
"Ah, welcome back. Oh and you used that trope already."
<<What do you mean by trope!? Why are you so cold anyway! Shouldn't you be like, celebrate my return with more warmth and welcomes!>>
"Uh no, if anything, you should congratulate me for my Job Change."
"N-Neora-san is muttering to himself again..."
"I haven't seen Neora chatting to himself for a while..."
The two girls are inching back at the sight of Neora-kun chatting with Menu by himself. Quit looking at him like he's not right in the head.
...Not like I'm one to talk. Gotta mind the surroundings before I lost myself chatting to Menu. Yup.
<<Welp, now that you've cleared the trial, it's high time to test run your new abilities!>>
"Eh? How do we do that? ...W, wait, the ground's shaking, an earthquake?"
"No, it's not an earthquake. The altar is splitting open, something's coming up!"
"T-that's...!?"
Whiiirl... The altar split in two while making the sound like an SF-like robot launching sequence.
Then a giant robot-like thing came up from below... or rather, it's a slightly clumsy looking giant metal golem.
Think it's around five meter tall? Can't believe these ruins were hiding something like this. Who even made that thing?
"S-some sort of familiar-looking but not quite there robot, no, golem showed up... What the heck."
<<That is a combat golem made to be cut down by the hero who cleared the trial! Feel free to use all the new moves you learned on this thing, go on!>>
"No, it's way big. Rather than cutting it down, that thing's gonna be way more useful against demons."
<<Too bad! It's too big it can't move unless it permanently gets energy funneled by the ruins!>>
"So it only exists to be destroyed. That's so sad..."
"...So uh, why don't you cut it with that katana for now?"
Cutting down means it's katana's turn first.
The katana is apparently indestructible after all. I'm sure it won't get chipped or break.
<<Ah, for your information, this golem is as sturdy as hihiirogane thanks to a specially made formula. So like, it's even harder than adamantite.>>
"That's too much! We couldn't even do anything but running from that adamantite ball!"
The golem swung its arm while Hero-kun was busy panicking.
No mercy huh. Heck, that thing sure can move!? This golem must easily have around 3000 AGI!
<<Here it comes. Use the katana now, quick!>>
"Teiiiii!? Hold up, it's way too fast--"
The instant Hero-kun was about to get hit by the golem.
CLINK, the sound of sharp metal clashing resounded.
"...Eh?"
The red braid haired girl, Levia made a funny sound.
Can't blame her. The supposedly super sturdy golem got cut in two, forming a line from its fist to torso after all.
BAM, the golem caused a tremor as it fell.
"O-oh crap... The golem looked as if it stopped moving once I drew the katana...!"
"That was real fast, must be an iai strike huh. No, more like a quick draw?"
"I've seen in a book somewhere, it says iai is when you keep your katana sheathed as you confront your enemies and draw only when it's time to fight, while quick draw is an art of killing your enemy before they could draw their weapons..."
"Eh, isn't iai supposed to be a counter move?"
"Sorry, I only vaguely recalled that. I'm not actually sure."
"Me too. Soz for acting like an expert."
"...I don't follow."
"How can this person go along so well with Neora-san..."
The girls are coldly looking at the us two getting lost in our own world. Sorry for this, girls.
The reason he could move like a veteran even though it should have been his first time swinging a katana is likely thanks to Brave Skill 'Arts of Swords'.
That alone is powerful already but the essential one is the other Skill he got.
"I've gained some real crazy buff... Huh wait? Didn't Levia and Olivie's Status go up too?"
"Come to think of it, my body felt light ever since Neora shined..."
"Uwah!? Your Attributes went up from 1500s to around 2000s, the both of you!"
"E, eeh!? 2000!? But they should be around 1000s before we went in these ruins!"
"I-is this also thanks to Neora-san's Job Change?"
"Might be. Uwaah, didn't think they'd give so much extra service. Gotta thank the goddess."
<<Ah, I'm gonna mail your thanks to goddess, okay.>>
"You can do that!?"
<<Well, it's time to test the effect of 'Heavenly Heroic Fusion' now. It'll be a huge surprise pfft kukukuku...!>>
"What are you laughing about!? What kinda Skill is that even!"
<<Don't you worry your pretty little head, just do it ☆>>
"Eh, wait, why'd you activate it on your own!"
That's a Skill so powerful it's pretty much indispensable if we want to beat Demon King.
...But I still gotta wonder why the goddess made like that.
"Eh, wha, wait!?"
"Hawawawawawa!?"
As Hero-kun's (Menu) activated 'Heavenly Heroic Fusion', Neora-kun, Leviara and Olivie got wrapped in lights.
The lights gradually lost their outlines as they merged into one blinding mass of light.
A beautiful girl with long silver hair and a mix of red and silver forelock came out of the light.
Neora-kun's blue right eye, Leviara's red left eye, and also... Olivie's voluptuous chest.
Well, uh, it's that. That fusion in all its glory.
With a mix of traits between three people as well as the combined stats of all of them, the world's strongest Hero-sama has made her entrance.
By the way, the gender is decided by the ratio.
".........What am I supposed to do here....."
Hero (beautiful girl) murmured with a blushing face.
...Don't cry, live strong.
