I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

And... she was a very beautiful Half-Demon. Watching the long ears on Yae Sakura's head twitch from time to time, Xia Ji fought the urge to reach out and grab them.

Fluffy... so cute!

Her fear of Yae Sakura vanished in an instant.

"Let's go."

"Mm... ow... sss!" Xia Ji nodded, looking at Yae Sakura ahead, ready to follow her. But before she could take two steps, she winced in pain with a cry and collapsed to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yae Sakura stopped, turning to look at her in confusion.

"My foot... it hurts so much." Xia Ji said with a frown.

"..."

Yae Sakura frowned at that, finding it troublesome.

"Let me see..."

Still, she returned to Xia Ji's side, lifted her foot, and slipped off her shoe...

Looking at her bruised and purple foot, it was likely from the desperate running while being chased by the demon. As a former noble lady, she'd never had to flee for her life like that.

It was only natural she'd end up like this.

But... Yae Sakura didn't know how to heal.

"Does it hurt a lot?" She looked up at Xia Ji.

"Mm..." Xia Ji nodded, a little embarrassed, and also... afraid that Yae Sakura would just leave her behind.

Alone in this place, even if no demons showed up, she'd be eaten by wild beasts.

"Troublesome..."

Yae Sakura was a bit speechless. Though it wasn't her fault.

"I'm sorry!" Xia Ji said, looking pitiful as she apologized.

"Forget it. I'll carry you." With that, Yae Sakura crouched down in front of Xia Ji.

"Is... is that okay?"

"Hurry up."

"Oh..." Xia Ji quickly climbed onto Yae Sakura's back.

She felt... pretty light.

"Lord Yae, are the ears on your head rabbit ears?" Xia Ji lay on Yae Sakura's back, watching the pair of long pink ears on her head sway back and forth with each step.

She couldn't help but ask.
