Yae Sakura Is My Wife!

A violent energy raged through the streets, and the clash between the tachi and the spear tore the air apart.

The once-hard concrete pavement was as fragile as foam in the hands of those two monsters.

Because of the Honkai outbreak in Changkong City this time, Amamiya Rinon had long suspected that this world might not be as simple as she had imagined.

But the clash between those two girls completely shattered her already rather fragile worldview.

She understood now: flesh was weak, machinery eternal—cough, cough. What she meant was that this world actually contained monsters like those described in light novels, monsters that could casually tear steel apart and cleave the earth.

That was right. Monsters.

In Amamiya Rinon's eyes, those two could no longer be called human.

Then the golden monster defeated the pink monster.

She had intended to pretend nothing had happened after the two monsters left, but...

"Who's there?! Come out!"

Unfortunately, she was discovered by the golden monster.

"I'm coming out! I'm coming out right now! I mean no harm—please don't kill me!"

As an ordinary person, Amamiya Rinon was naturally terrified. All she could do was pray that the monster meant her no harm.

However, the blond girl was distracted by the ancient sword in her arms and successfully... got her hand cut by it.

Amamiya Rinon: "..."

When she held the sword, it knew how to play dead and could not even be drawn, forcing her to run all over the streets while being chased by those "zombies."

But the moment it encountered a powerful person, it immediately revealed its extraordinary nature and cut that powerful person's hand.

Amamiya Rinon: What the hell...

She felt that this sword wanted her dead.

She had practically dropped to her knees then, but fortunately, the big shot had no intention of taking her life. Instead, she had become interested in that damned ancient sword.

"This sword... what is it called? Where did you get it?"

Amamiya Rinon naturally answered truthfully.

"It... it's called the Taixu Divine Sword. My mother said she found it together with me in some graveyard."

"The Taixu Divine Sword?"

Hearing that name, the blond girl's eyes flickered slightly.

"The weapon of the Divine Land Sword Saint during the ** period?"

So it was an ancient weapon?

Shenzhou really was a wondrous land.

In the blond girl's eyes, even if the Taixu Divine Sword could not compare with a Divine Key, it was still far more powerful than a Sacred Relic.

Such a powerful weapon had actually been forged by an ancient person from Shenzhou. She could not help but marvel at that.

"It... it should just be a namesake..."

Faced with the blond Valkyrie's question, Amamiya Rinon was somewhat uncertain.

Although she was from Japonia, she was not unfamiliar with the famous Sword Saint of Shenzhou. She was also extremely familiar with the name of the sword he carried.

That was why she refused to believe that the sword in her hands was the one from history.

After all, if that sword still existed, it would be a national treasure of Shenzhou. How could it have ended up in the hands of an ordinary Japanese middle school student like her?

However, the sword's strange behavior over the past few days had caused her to develop doubts as well.

Maybe... perhaps... the sword in my hands...

Really is that legendary sword?

"It's just a namesake?"

On the other side, the blond girl gently shook her head at Amamiya Rinon's answer.

She could be certain that the divine sword in the girl's arms was the one from history.

After all, one that could almost rival a Divine Key and was also called the Taixu Divine Sword—there could be no other possibility.

Thinking this, the blond girl turned her gaze toward Amamiya Rinon once more.

An ordinary person in a place like this was in great danger.

Although she was carrying out a secret mission for the bishop, she was still a Valkyrie.

"What's your name?"

"Am... Amamiya Rinon!"

The girl answered timidly.

"Durandal."

The blond Valkyrie—Durandal—stated the name she was currently using.

"Changkong City is very dangerous right now. Stay with me for the time being. I'll protect you."

As she spoke, Durandal did not give Amamiya Rinon a chance to refuse. She directly took her by the wrist and headed toward the source of the earthquake they had just felt.

Amamiya Rinon: "..."

Where was she?

Who was she?

Where was she going?

"Mm~ Where is this...?"

In a bedroom inside one of the houses in Changkong City, the five-hundred-year-old wife who had just woken up only to be brutally beaten finally stirred awake under the powerful recovery ability of a Quasi-Herrscher.

She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, instinctively voicing her confusion.

"You're awake?"

A very gentle male voice suddenly sounded beside her. She turned her head and saw a silver-haired youth in a white coat sitting nearby, watching her with concern.

"Sir, where is this? I just..."

The girl, whose mind was still sluggish from having only just awakened, struggled to sit up on the bed and instinctively asked the question.

However, to the girl's surprise, the boy excitedly asked, "Have you lost your memory?"

Yae Sakura: "..."

Why did this suddenly turn into amnesia?

And why does this guy seem to really want me to have lost my memory?

"No, I have not lost my memory."

The girl denied the youth's guess, and during that brief exchange, she gradually recalled what had happened before.

She had awakened from a long period of sealing and slumber. Before she could adapt to the changes in her surroundings, she had encountered...

As she recalled the blond Valkyrie, ripples inevitably appeared in the girl's eyes.

She had never expected this world to contain such a monster.

As the shrine maiden of Yae Shrine, her swordsmanship was almost divine.

Although she had not shown it, the girl was quite confident in her own strength.

Yet she had never expected to encounter someone so terrifying immediately after awakening.

In their previous battle, part of the reason had been that she had only just awakened and had not fully recovered her strength. But the fact that she had suffered a crushing defeat was undeniable.

It seems I had still underestimated the people of this world!

With this thought, the girl finally shifted her attention back to the youth who had spoken earlier.

"May I ask who you are...?"

She remembered that after escaping from that woman, she had stumbled around in a daze, reached some place, and lost consciousness.

So this youth was the one who saved her?

"Dong Moxuan."

The youth smiled and stated his name in response to the girl's question.

"Was it you who saved Sakura? Thank you very much. I..."

"You don't need to say it. I know who you are!"

The youth raised a hand and directly cut her off.

Then the silver-haired youth said with a beaming smile, "Your name is Old Eight, and everyone calls you the Gourmet! Right?"

Yae Sakura: "..."
