When Urashima Taro saved the tiny turtle, her father thanked him by giving him lots of treasure and letting him marry his daughter who was actually a beautiful princess. ( What kind of weirdo story is he talking about, right, Gilbert? ) And when the hunter saved the crane from the trap, she made him and his wife beautiful cloth to sell for money.

( He can keep prattling story summaries off if Gilbert doesn't get the hint... )

And you know... it's the same for sword spirits too. If you take care of a sword, it'll take care of you too so I wanna do something special for you. Ah... maybe that can be the beginning of my story, heh heh.

( Since there aren't any famous stories about sword spirits. Famous swords, yes. Spirits? No. )
