Death-Bringing Weather Vane is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
There was once a quick-witted dealer of second-hand goods. He worked his way into the good graces of his nation's prime minister, who held more influence than the king. Various doors would open for him...for a price.

The prime minister fell victim to an epidemic and died. His family and retainers were executed by the new king. The merchant went to greet the new king, bringing with him a gift of some value. His generosity pleased the crown, and the man was made purveyor to the new king.

The new king's lifestyle soon turned lavish, drawing his attention away from the political sphere. When it became clear neighboring countries were plotting an invasion, the merchant colluded with them, selling classified information to the enemy. The royal capital fell to the invasion, and the new king was executed.

The merchant went to visit the neighboring country's king. His court magus told the king, "Your Majesty, please allow me to deal with him." When the king agreed, the magus cast a spell. This transformed the merchant into a form that better suited him—a weathervane, which tumbled to the ground and smashed into pieces on the spot.
