Tohru and the Holy Sword is the one hundred and sixteenth chapter of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon.

Summary
The Holy Sword appears in Kobayashi's apartment.

Plot
Tohru recognizes the Holy Sword in its human form. While the Sword thinks Tohru will be mad at them because they almost killed her, Tohru quickly assumes it is the child of Kobayashi and her, in which the Sword agrees but Kobayashi swiftly denies. The Sword explains it was able to appear without being summoned when it created a bond with Tohru, so now they can materialize at will with the mana constantly leaking out of Tohru, although they can do it for a short period of time and soon fades away but Tohru can still see them. Just as the Holy Sword was about to leave, Tohru thanks them for helping with the fight against Telne and the Sword remarks that one day Tohru will be able to face a similar challenge by herself. Tohru then starts to think about the Sword's form because it doesn't look like the God who created them and suddenly remembers a mysterious person but Kobayashi interrupts her pondering saying to take care of the Holy Sword. And so, when the Sword materializes, it will interact with the family and play with Kanna and Illulu, like a child that visits. One dinner, Kobayashi notices the vegetables unevenly cut but Tohru dismisses this as she is still hungover from her battle but in reality she is very tense around the Sword and will sometimes go overboard. Tohru then exclaims she needs to get used to the Sword and they suggest a walk around the neighborhood while he is in a physical form. Tohru then remarks about their conspicuous outfit and asks if they are a boy and girl, so the Sword removes its pants to check with Tohru, but both remark it changed everytime they looked, so the Sword goes with something similar to Kobayashi's clothes. They soon both run into a shopkeeper in the bazaar who greets them but gets scared at Tohru's gaze because of her tenseness, which continues with other shopkeepers. When they finally arrive home, the Sword apologizes for making Tohru nervous during the walk and asks if they can help with dinner and starts chopping vegetables by turning its finger into a knife but cuts them unevenly. Before the Sword fades away, they want to take a bath and Tohru offers to join as well, starting to strip her clothes away and notices the Sword doesn't show lust like other humans. The Sword notices the scar on Tohru's back and thinks that it starts to tingle because of them and apologizes to Tohru knowing that it hurts. Tohru then thinks to herself that the Sword is able to show kindness and emotion because it lives in Kobayashi's mind and wonders if the Sword is like the child Kobayashi and her might have. After Kobayashi arrives home, Tohru apologizes because she made too much dinner and it is not easy accommodating to the number of guests while Kobayashi remarks about the perfectly cut vegetables.
