At night, Yae Sakura lay on her bed, looking at the densely packed rows of Stigmata in her inventory.

Because she found it troublesome, whether weapons or Stigmata, Yae Sakura had simply tossed them all into storage without managing them or breaking them down.

She only broke some down when she occasionally needed to, which had resulted in her inventory accumulating an enormous amount of stuff.

Though... most of it was low-star-rated...

She wondered whether Stigmata would work if they were equipped by people in this world.

She could use her weapons and such, so Stigmata should work too, right?

Looking at the vast number of Hannah Stigmata in her inventory, she had no use for them herself. She might as well give them away and earn a favor or two.

This was not a game. Anything that could rapidly increase one's strength was undoubtedly precious.

Just look at this world. For a Jewel of Four Souls that could increase one's strength, all the demons had gone mad.

"Big Sis, I want to sleep with you."

Just as Yae Sakura was thinking, the adorable Higokumaru suddenly appeared out of thin air before her. Hugging a small blanket, she gazed at Yae Sakura with longing eyes.

"Y-You... how did you get in here?!"

Yae Sakura immediately sat up and stared at the little fox. The door was clearly shut tight.

"Teleportation! No matter where Big Sis is, as long as we're in the same world, I can appear by your side immediately. Amazing, right?"

As she said this, Higokumaru looked immensely proud.

"What are you so proud of?! From now on, don't suddenly appear in front of me without my permission." Yae Sakura would never admit that Higokumaru's sudden appearance had frightened her just now.

"Got it, Big Sis."

"What exactly can your teleportation ability do?" Looking at the little fox before her, Yae Sakura had not expected her to bring over even the open-world teleportation.

"Teleportation? I can come to Big Sis whenever I want!"

"You can't teleport anywhere else?"

"That's right. I can only teleport to Big Sis's side." Higokumaru nodded seriously.

"I..."

How useless!!

She could only teleport to her side? What kind of teleportation was that?!

In the open world, she could even teleport to mission locations.

"Oh, right! Besides teleportation, I can also... assassinate! I can foresee nearby danger, and breathe fire. Big Sis, aren't I amazing?"

"..."

So she had brought all the open-world abilities with her, but...

"What changes did assassination and precognition undergo?" Yae Sakura hurriedly asked.

"Big Sis, see for yourself..."

Higokumaru displayed the skill descriptions to Yae Sakura.

Assassination: After entering the assassination state, presence is reduced by 90%, and there is a chance to instantly kill enemies no more than twice as strong as oneself.

Danger Precognition: Higokumaru can foresee dangers within three hundred meters of herself.

Then there were Higokumaru's various flame abilities...

"Not bad, Higokumaru."

Yae Sakura looked at Higokumaru in surprise. She had actually brought all these abilities with her, and they seemed quite good.

Other than teleportation having gone a bit wrong.

But... as the Twelfth Herrscher of the Previous Era—the Herrscher of Corruption—and an ultimate virus with self-awareness, Higokumaru's corruption ability could control humans, beasts, and machines alike.

Now, however, she had lost her most powerful corruption ability. It felt like a loss.

"Hehe, but Big Sis, I want to sleep with you."

Yae Sakura looked at the little thing before her with pink hair and blue eyes. Higokumaru was currently in her loli form, small and tiny...

She looked about the same as a little girl!

Though she was cute...

"Can you turn into your teenage form?" Yae Sakura asked curiously.

"I can! If Big Sis likes it."

As she spoke, Higokumaru directly transformed into her teenage version.

She was around 165 centimeters tall...

Very beautiful, with several strands of red mixed into her pink hair. Four large pink tails trailed across the floor.

And those pointed fox ears...

"Come here!"

Yae Sakura's eyes lit up, and she beckoned Higokumaru over.

"Big Sis?"

Higokumaru walked over curiously.

"Sit."

"Okay!" Higokumaru immediately sat on the floor in a duck-sitting posture and looked at Yae Sakura.

"So cute!"

Yae Sakura grabbed Higokumaru's ears in one go.

"Eek..."

With her ears caught, Higokumaru's face instantly flushed red, and she could not help letting out a sound that could easily be misunderstood.

"B-Big Sis..." Higokumaru looked at Yae Sakura with a lustful expression and let out a moan.

"Ahem..."

Yae Sakura had not expected Higokumaru to react like that at all, and she immediately let go with a calm expression.

"You can sleep here tonight."

"Really? Great!"

Higokumaru immediately returned to normal, stood up, and placed her blanket beside Yae Sakura's bed.

"But before that..."

"Hm?" Higokumaru, who was about to sleep, looked at Yae Sakura in confusion.

Then... Yae Sakura suddenly took off her clothes, revealing her jade-white back...

"B-Big Sis, could it be... you want to... If it's Big Sis, then it's not... impossible..."

Seeing Yae Sakura's reaction, Higokumaru began to stammer. She was very shy, but... if it was Big Sis, there was no problem...

"What are you thinking? Come over... help me change my Stigmata!"

Yae Sakura took out two crystal cards. Each crystal card bore the image of a woman: [Schrödinger (Top)] and [Attila (Bottom)].

That's right, Yae Sakura was planning to be a nuclear sword immortal for a while!

The Grass Cat was invincible!!

"Higokumaru, help me equip them."

Yae Sakura handed the two Stigmata to Higokumaru.

Stigmata were truly difficult to change by oneself. In the game, there was still the Captain to help the Valkyries change their Stigmata, but now she was alone and simply could not do it.

It was not that she had not considered asking Kikyo for help, but... the method of equipping Stigmata was very unusual and required a special process. People from other worlds really could not do it.

Yae Sakura could do it herself, but it was too troublesome alone! Now that she had Higokumaru, it would be much easier!

Higokumaru definitely knew how.

"Okay, okay!"

Higokumaru hurried over and accepted the Stigmata.
