The protagonist loses his life in a vehicle accident but is reborn in another universe as a sword. He has no memories of his prior identity other than the fact that he is a sword but remembers everything else about his previous existence. After coming to terms with his role as a sword, he begins looking for someone to take control of him so he can continue to fight and level up his abilities. He discovers a group of slave traders whose caravan is being attacked by a bear with two heads. Fran, a young catgirl slave, finds the sword and uses it to slay the bear. She gives the sword the name "Teacher" once she has been liberated from servitude, and the two of them then embark on an adventure together.
