HERDING CATS

Tasked by Wina with a mission to Goldicia, Fran and Teacher must return to Belioth to prepare for the trip—except the battle with a certain great beast has delayed all sea travel by months!

Where will this meeting lead?

Series Overview: Reincarnated as a sentient weapon with memories of his past life, but not his name, a magical sword saves a young beastgirl from a life of slavery.
