I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

Yae Sakura blinked, a little disappointed!

This was a Great Yokai, the pinnacle of existence in the entire Inuyasha world. She expected at least a few thousand, right?

And it was only... 280?

Was this like a gacha pull in a game?

This was the reward for the first kill. If it were a normal kill... wouldn't she have to defeat over a dozen Great Yokai to unlock a new world?

But... it seemed like there was more than just the Crystal reward...

[Killed Great Yokai: Tsuchigumo.]

[First Great Yokai Kill Achievement: Randomly draw one of the opponent's talents. Congratulations on obtaining the Resurrection talent.] "Res... Resurrection?"

Yae Sakura was shocked!!

However, Yae Sakura took a closer look...

Resurrection: A total of three resurrections can be used per world. After resurrection, the user will be restored to a perfect state.

The first resurrection costs 280 Crystals, the second costs 2800 Crystals, and the third costs 28000 Crystals.

"28,000 Crystals, that's insane..."

But the first one was acceptable.

In the game, resurrection only cost 30 Crystals, but here it was 280. How greedy!

But then she thought of the animated short, [Last Lesson], where Himeko fought Bronya. If she could resurrect Himeko, she'd be willing to pay 28,000 Crystals, wouldn't she?

"What kind of system is this, anyway... can I pay to win?"

Yae Sakura asked hesitantly, but clearly... the aloof system ignored Yae Sakura.

Never mind...

Having dealt with Tsuchigumo, Yae Sakura turned her attention to another Great Yokai, Miss Kiyohime.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Kiyohime looked at Yae Sakura, her expression neither happy nor sad, as if it didn't matter what Yae Sakura did.

"..."

Yae Sakura remained silent, falling into deep thought. Logically, Kiyohime was also a Great Yokai, and killing her would surely yield Crystals, but... this yokai was similar to an ordinary human woman...

And Yae Sakura didn't feel any ill will towards her... she couldn't bring herself to do it.

So, even if she had to kill someone in the future, her first target should be someone she detested...

"You can go..."

Yae Sakura sheathed her spirit blade, deciding to let Kiyohime go.

"..."

Kiyohime looked at Yae Sakura seriously, then bowed and turned to leave.

Now that Tsuchigumo was dead, Kiyohime needed to return to the ruins of Dojo-ji Temple and continue waiting, perhaps one day she could meet that person again.
