For the sword to be forged by the Goddess of Justice, for the Dwarven God, to defeat the Demon Lord, seems like it's adding an unneeded step. Given the widely accepted fantasy trope of "dwarves forge things," you'd think that the Dwarven God would have been able to handle that themselves...And then that's the only time they get mentioned, and after that it's Lyre doing all of the sword redistribution herself.

It's probably a mistranslation. It's not uncommon to get direct objects and indirect objects mixed up when translating Japanese. It makes a lot more sense if the god of dwarfs forged it for the goddess of justice instead.

I can definitely see that being the case, but even so it doesn't solve the base issue of basically adding an additional step in the process.

Is it that difficult an answer to come up with? The sword was given to him by the goddess in his dream, not by the church. So, why wouldn't you assume it returned to her? After whats just been said, we also know that nobody could've walked off with it. The hero she bestowed it to isn't dead either, so why would it be returned to the church? That would be my obvious answer. Is it correct? Who knows. But it's the most logical answer, therefore it's the correct answer, imo. The only thing that could change that is if the author accidently plotholes the lore he just threw out. Point is: this was easy to figure out and should've been conveyed to Mr. Bear. Most likely, it would've gotten him to go his separate way (home) after that. Which, is the best possible outcome for our ogre girl.
