Mar 5, 2022 at 23:52 comment added Eddie Kal @JimmyYang I understood that part of your question. I read it as a statement about the narrator. The narrator is saying, "Oh yeah some relatives were saying that was a family heirloom kind of thing that came from an important ancestor. But I didn't take it seriously." That's why I think ニコニコ describes the kind of reaction the narrator had hearing about that.
