Inflatable Scimitar
"In the name of the god of great gate and key, give me power. Give me power. Give me power."
Originally a half-moon shaped sword named after a sage from the land of dreams, its construction method can be traced back to the literary fragments of a grimoire known as the "Necronomicon." It's a tool used for various rituals, and it normally requires extreme care when handled. Yet it's been arranged in a way that it could be conveniently carried for summer excursions...it has turned into an inflatable scimitar.
To use it, the wielder needs to personally fill it with their own breath to inflate it. During this process, nobody else may give them a hand.
"Shall we call forth summer here? The sound of the waves swelling...under the privacy of the shade. For a brief moment, may an unforgettable summer between just the two of us arrive..."
