I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

"You eat it yourself. I'm not hungry."

"Oh..."

Xia Ji took a few bites, then looked at Yae Sakura before her. Without realizing it, she seemed to grow a little entranced.

Clearly, she was also a woman, and a half-demon at that, but beside Yae Sakura, she felt an unprecedented sense of safety.

Not even the samurai, or even her own father, had ever given her such a strong feeling.

Then she thought back to when Yae Sakura fought the demon earlier...

If she could stay by her side forever, there would be no need to fear any demon, right?

"Lord Yae..." Thinking this, Xia Ji looked up at Yae Sakura.

"Hm?"

"When we return to my home, could you stay and protect me?"

"Stay?" Yae Sakura looked at her in surprise. "But I'm... a half-demon! Don't you care?"

"I don't care. Lord Yae is a good person!"

Good... person...

Her first-ever good-person card, just like that?

"No." But Yae Sakura still refused.

"Why?" Xia Ji couldn't understand.

"You don't care, but what about your father and the others?" And besides... Yae Sakura couldn't stay in one place for someone.

Not to mention that Yae Sakura was now a woman—even if she were a man, she couldn't fall in love with anyone.

She would eventually leave this world. She couldn't afford to form too many attachments. So... no matter if the other person was male or female, they could at most be friends.

She couldn't stay in one world forever for someone.

"That's true..." Hearing Yae Sakura's words, Xia Ji calmed down. Thinking of her father's temper, if it were a human, it might be fine.

But a half-demon...

Chapter 6: Kikyo (Please Collect)

After Xia Ji finished the roasted meat in her hands and was about to rest, Yae Sakura's fox ears twitched slightly. She suddenly sensed the sound of fighting not far from the cave entrance.

Yae Sakura's expression instantly tightened.

"There's the aura of a demon."

Finally encountering a demon again!

But looking at Xia Ji beside her, Yae Sakura hesitated a little.

"What's wrong, Lord Yae?" Xia Ji noticed Yae Sakura's expression and quickly asked.
