"What an interesting little girl." Seeing the undisguised admiration in Ringo Ameyuri's eyes, Soji could not help but chuckle.
"Hehe, Ember-senpai, can I discuss something with you?" With her idol right before her and seeming quite easygoing, Ringo Ameyuri was no longer reserved.
She had never been afraid of Mizuki Ember to begin with, much less now!
"Oh? What is it? Let's hear it." That was what Soji said aloud, but inwardly, he was considering how to recruit this little fangirl of his.
Although she appeared to admire him greatly, he was currently an S-rank rogue ninja of Kirigakure. Soji was not sure whether Ringo Ameyuri would agree if he invited her to join him.
Admiring an idol and betraying one's village for that idol were entirely different things.
At most, Ringo Ameyuri had a favorable attitude toward him right now and did not see him as an enemy.
It was different from Hozuki Mangetsu. Back then, Mangetsu had sought Mizuki Ember's help for the sake of his clan, and the two sides had essentially made a deal.
Ringo Ameyuri had no such need!
Just as Soji was wondering how to lure Ringo Ameyuri over, she finally spoke.
But what Ringo Ameyuri said left Soji utterly dumbfounded.
"Ember-senpai, can you give me that Lightning-natured ninja sword in your hand? Of course, in return, I can serve under you from now on. What do you think? I've been searching for the Lightning Sword: Kiba for quite some time, but I never found it. It's rare to come across a ninja sword here that seems no weaker than the Lightning Sword: Kiba. I really want it!"
After saying that, Ringo Ameyuri stared at the Lightning God's Sword in Soji's hand with sparkling eyes.
That expression immediately reminded Soji of Hozuki Mangetsu's face
