And... she was a very beautiful Half-Demon. Watching the long ears atop Yae Sakura's head twitch from time to time, Xia Ji forcefully restrained the urge to grab them.
So fluffy... so cute!
Her fear of Yae Sakura vanished in an instant.
"Let's go!"
"Mm... ow... hiss!"
Xia Ji nodded. Looking at Yae Sakura ahead of her, she prepared to follow, but after taking barely two steps, she immediately frowned and cried out in pain before collapsing to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Yae Sakura stopped and turned to look at her in confusion.
"My foot... it hurts." Xia Ji frowned.
"..."
Yae Sakura frowned at her words. This was such a hassle!
"Let me see..."
Still, she returned to Xia Ji's side, lifted her foot, and took off her shoes...
Looking at her bruised, purplish-blue foot, it had probably happened when she had been chased by monsters and forced to run for her life. She had always been a noble young lady before; when had she ever run so desperately?
It was only normal for it to end up like this.
But... Yae Sakura did not know how to heal.
"Does it hurt badly?" she asked, looking up at Xia Ji.
"Mm..." Xia Ji nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, and also... afraid that Yae Sakura would simply abandon her and leave her behind.
Alone in a place like this, even if no monsters appeared, she would be eaten by wild beasts.
"What a hassle..."
Yae Sakura was rather speechless. Though it was not Xia Ji's fault.
"I'm sorry!" Xia Ji apologized with a pitiful expression.
"Forget it! I'll carry you!" With that, Yae Sakura crouched down in front of Xia Ji.
"C-Can I?"
"Hurry up!"
"Okay..." Xia Ji hurriedly climbed onto Yae Sakura's back.
She felt... quite light.
"Lord Yae, are the ears on your head rabbit ears?" Lying on Yae Sakura's back, Xia Ji looked at the pair of long pink ears atop her head, swaying from side to side as she walked.
Unable to hold it in any longer, she asked.
