Well, I can lay low... or I can convert a Priestess into my kin in front of everyone while wielding the Demon Lord's sword

Happen to saw the RAW of the next chapter earlier
Rama used a special recovery magic that only Hero/Saintess would have.
Very good at self-healing.
But when used on another person, it pretty much cause the user to collapse on the spot.

Where things might go next:
The guy who died actually was relevant for plot.
He's 2nd son of marquess? (whichever is in line of succession below royal/duke)
So with his death, even if Al wish to accompany the priestess on her trip home to help her over grief/trauma, some of the more malicious actors might try to question his return (no holy sword + another in line of succession die in the same incident? SUS)

Rama's answer to that is to try summoning the holy sword. (Yeah, she could've just call on the thing this whole time apparently)
It appears with bone of an arm holding onto it i.e. the hero's arm which implies for the past 16 years nobody ever found the sword.

That, and striking during the 3-hour monologue.
"What? You planted explosives where I was standing and replaced yourself with a body double while I was rambling about my machinations for Earth? How dare you! I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in gorilla warfare... [etc]"

Oh come one, you literally KNEW that vampires turn to dust after they die, and you only "wondered" why his body wasn't disintegrating? Really?

Reve was still left next to the bed, since while knocked out Rama got a bad vibe nightmare and didn't want to touch it.
Krau didn't reject Rama either.
Whether she can use both at the same time would probably depends on how picky the swords want to be (i.e. are they ok as long as it's Rama wielding them, or does Rama have to use one at a time only)

Although since Rama called on Krau to give Al the 'excuse' to return home (finding Krau was the reason he left, so with it his quest is over) I can imagine Krau getting 'sulky' if Rama try to just leave it with Al.

Remember: Always double-tap. The bad guy isn't dead until you're absolutely sure they're dead.

To be fair, there was enough going on plot wise that I could definitely believe them forgetting to do that, especially paired them Evius being half the vamp he used to be. Al just found out that Rama isn't human, and was chosen by Reve, just as Meria was entering, so with Evius in two pieces I could see them pivoting to those issues.

I'm not a fan of the villain, who should have died awhile ago, magically having just enough energy, mobility, dexterity, and control to stealthily stab the priestess in the back, without anyone noticing him. I call bullshit on the believability of that actually happening. How did no one hear him dragging his wet torso on the ground? I despise when a villain is defeated and then gets to keep fighting. So lame.

What pisses me off the most about it, is how unearned it is; on the part of the villain. It's a victor that the author gives the villain for free. It's like saying to the main characters, "Ha, ha. All your hard work, skill, intelligence, and teamwork were pointless. I just get to automatically win because the author says so."

The priestess better not die. If they end up turning her into a monster, or Rama has to reveal who she is, in order to save her; that could be interesting. Silver linings.
