The Holy Sword is literally just a plot device, the real protag weapon is Carmilla

That last panel almost made my heart explode.
I'm a proud Excelia fag but can't deny Carmilla best girl.

In the end, me and my confused boners agreed to just embrace this wholesome moment.

@aigomorla @Greg_no_Gregory Good question; the raw text for that line on page 10 is 呪いの剣に , and jisho says "sword (originally esp. a doubled-edged sword); sabre; saber; blade​"

https://jisho.org/search/%E5%89%A3

So in JP it's probably just a generic term for pointy things (I dunno; I'm not a translator). I think I would probably classify Carmilla as a sword under a broad definition of the term "sword"? I don't have a great opinion either way. It looks like there's a lot of ways to say "short sword" or "dagger" : https://jisho.org/search/dagger but none of them are used here. I tend to think of all three (five if you count side characters, I guess) of them as swords, and I think our team does as well. Maybe it's the same for the mangaka.

Or maybe the mangaka just typo'd it and the volume release will say 短剣 . Beats me. I think I'll just leave it as "sword" for now. Good eye, tho!

@Daxar Honestly though, I don't take too much issue with it. I just assumed "cursed sword" was meant to be a general term, and not her being or becoming an actual sword (as she's meant to be a dagger). Either way, fantastic chapter.
